Synopsis
Make City collects contributions from architects, planners, landscape designers and municipal policymakers on the crises facing contemporary cities, presenting a variety of strategies to reconfigure and reimagine urban life. The intertwined problems of continuous development and rising real estate prices are rendering cities increasingly uninhabitable for many, a situation that will continue to be exacerbated by the mounting pressure of climate change on metropolitan infrastructures. This volume proposes models of localized food production, community-centered planning and sustainable architecture design that renew and optimize existing structures in alternative models of urban economy. Developed in tandem with Berlin’s Make City festival, design proposals are displayed across over 350 color illustrations and writings from contributors including AFF Architects, Anupama Kundoo, Michel Bouwens/P2P Foundation, Francesca Bria SESC, Tessy Britton, Bureau SLA, Marco Casagrande, Eva de Klerk, De Urbanisten, FAR frohn&rojas and Kraftwerk 1.

Make City
Seller: Rarewaves USA, OSWEGO, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Contemporary cities are in thrall to rocketing real estate prices, climate change, and relentless growth. Make City brings together highly diverse positions on urban change: architects, urban planners, municipal decision-makers, landscape designers, makers, and civic entrepreneurs. Key juxtapositions shed new light on the strategies and coalitions needed for city making: new social contracts are forged at every level of urban life.The circular economy begins in cities. Local production - of food, materials, and spaces - is at the heart of urban life cycles, overcoming the current patterns of planned obsolescence that govern our linear economic system. Make City lays out urban alternatives for new architecture, typologies, material flows, and integrative and community-based planning, all grounded in the notions of reusing, densifying, and optimising existing structures. By exploring projects and propositions for making city differently, the what if gives way to the how.Contributors include AFF Architects, Anupama Kundoo, Michel Bouwens/P2P Foundation, Francesca Bria SESC, Tessy Britton, Bureau SLA, Frauke Burgdorff, Marco Casagrande, Deadline, Eva de Klerk, De Urbanisten, FAR frohnandrojas, Kraftwerk 1, Wolf Lotter, PPAG, Refunc, Eike Roswag-Klinge, Tina Saaby, Florian Schmidt, Topotek 1, Jean Philipp Vassal, Vestas, Zanderroth Architekten.Text in English and German.

Make City. Stadt anders machen ? A Compendium of Urban Alternatives
Seller: Berchmans, Erbach, HE, Germany
Seller rating 3 out of 5 stars
Condition: Gebraucht, sehr gut. Städte sind heute weltweit explodierenden Immobilienpreisen, den Folgen des Klimawandels und einem scheinbar unaufhörlichen Wachstum unterworfen. Make City versammelt unterschiedliche Perspektiven auf den urbanen Wandel und lässt Akteure aus den Bereichen Architektur, Stadtplanung und Landschaftsgestaltung, aus Politik, Wirtschaft, Verwaltung und der Zivilgesellschaft zu Wort kommen. Die Positionen machen deutlich, welche Strategien und Bündnisse notwendig sind, um neue Gesellschaftsverträge auf allen Ebenen zu schmieden. Die Kreislaufwirtschaft beginnt in der Stadt: Die Produktion vor Ort ? seien es Nahrungsmittel, Rohstoffe oder Räume ? ist der zentrale Ansatz, um die veralteten Handlungsmuster eines linear ausgerichteten Wirtschaftssystems zu durchbrechen. Make City zeigt, wie man Stadt anders machen kann. Es bietet Alternativen: neue Architekturen, Typologien, Materialflüsse, integrative und gemeinschaftliche Planung, basierend auf den Grundgedanken der Wiederverwendung, der Verdichtung und Optimierung bestehender Strukturen. Heute geht es nicht mehr um kleine Schritte und Utopien, sondern um Machbarkeit ? um konkrete Projekte und Vorschläge für eine andere Stadt.
