About this Item

Was ist nötig, um öffentliche Räume zu erneuern und zu gestalten? Die Anforderungen an und die Nachfrage nach öffentlichen Räumen sind sehr spezifisch für die lokalen räumlichen und sozialen Bedingungen, unter denen Menschen leben. Werden Maßnahmen auf Quartiersebene geplant, müssen Bewohner*innen einbezogen werden. Es braucht Interaktion und gemeinsames Kreativ-Werden, um Bedürfnisse zu erkennen. Zu Beginn der Pandemie wurde superwien beauftragt, in drei verschiedenen Städten innovative Entwürfe für städtische öffentliche Räume zu entwickeln: Dhaka (Bangladesch), Maputo (Mosambik) und Santo Domingo (Dominikanische Republik). Das Hauptziel dieser angewandten Forschung bestand darin, die Fähigkeit lokaler Regierungen zu stärken, partizipative Stadtgestaltungsprozesse durchzuführen. Dieses Buch ruft Architekt*innen und Stadtplaner*innen dazu auf, unter anspruchsvollen Bedingungen ortsbezogene Lösungen zu entwickeln.

About this title

Synopsis

What is required to renew and articulate public spaces? The need for, and demands of, public spaces are highly specific to the local spatial and social conditions under which people live. Action at neighborhood level is crucial, and must involve interacting and co-creating with residents to discover their needs. At the start of the pandemic, superwien was commissioned to develop innovative designs for urban public spaces in three different cities: Dhaka (Bangladesh), Maputo (Mozambique), and Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic). The main objective of this applied research was to strengthen the capacity of local governments to undertake participatory urban design processes. This book calls upon architects and urbanists to develop place-based solutions in challenging circumstances.
