Urban growth under debate

1. Urban growth under debate

Since a sustainable approach to city extension implies moderate consumption of territory, how to effectively address the best potential for expansion?

a) Aligning

City development along the longitudinal footprint of an infrastructure, simultaneously addressing the large scale of the urban fringe and the local scale of the edges. 9 sites: Badajoz (E) - Calahorra (E) - Ørestad (DK) - Riga (LV) - Santander (E) - Tartu (EE) - Tjörn (S)

b) Limit

Extend the city towards a natural boundary. The way in which this boundary is conceived and the elaboration of its connections will have a decisive impact on the future of the place. 9 sites: Almere (NL) - Catania (I) - Espoo (SF) - Kapfenberg (A) - Kotka (SF) - La Laguna (E) - Odda (N) - Rostock (D) - Tallinn (EE)

 

2. Networks in motion

Is there a novel way of dealing with travel networks, not only as means of transport, but also as elements to encourage intensity and urbanity?

a) Connecting

Modifying networks to interconnect urban fragments. The transformation of transport infrastructures makes it possible to link different parts of the city. 6 sites: Herning (DK) - Linz (A) - Loures (P) - Praha (CK) - Reims (F) - Sion (CH)

b) Polarise

Concentrate at the connection point activities that refer to the scale of the network and the surrounding space.

5 sites : Graz (A) - Nijmegen (NL) - Ottignies (B) - Upplands Väsby (S) - Vantaa (SF)

c) Disseminate

Extend the impact of the connection. Manage the effect of the connecting network, concentrating or disseminating.

4 sites: Andenne (B) - Le Locle (CH) - Oslo (N) - Reggio Emilia (I)

 

3. Local transformations

What kind of new urban project could be proposed to build "the city on the city" in obsolete areas or in active neighbourhoods to be modernised?

a) Infiltrate

Introduce new programmes in enclaved industrial areas and open them up to the urban fabric.

8 sites : Ama (E) - Amsterdam (NL) - Babenhausen (D) - Genève (CH) - Saint Chamond (F) - Straubing (D) - Warszawa (PL) - Zagreb (HV)

b) Intensify

Adding diversity in existing neighbourhoods and generating new dynamics.

10 sites : Dublin (IR) - Groningen (NL) - Le Havre (F) - Poio (E) - Mulhouse (F) - San Severo (I) - Selb (D) - Sheffield (UK) - Syracuse (I) - Vejle (DK) - Stoke-on-Trent (UK)

 

4. Public space opportunities

How to create new types of public spaces, not as artificial forms detached from social dynamics, but in relation to living spaces, benefiting from the opportunities offered by the existing urban territory?

a) Crossing

Create spaces of "low-impact mobility", linked to a new perception of unexplored urban territories, by combining different networks, of varying speed and scale. 9 sites : Berlin (D) - Clermont-Ferrand (F) - Donauwörth (D) - Erfurt (D) - Ljubljana (SL) - Milton Keynes (UK) - Tirso (P) - Trondheim (N) - Wien 2 (A)

b) Sharing

Taking into account the urban void to create new types of public spaces and reconsider intermediate situations. Between the square and the bedroom, a whole collection of examples challenges the traditional dividing line between public and private.

9 sites : Bisceglie (I) - Bordeaux (F) - Délémont (CH) - Erice (I) - Odivelas (P) - Opatija (HV) - Pistoia (I) - Soria (E)
