We Own The City - Enabling Community Practice In Architecture And Urban Planning
Share
This book portrays the time of the neighbourhood, where urban dwellers, formerly only users of urban development, are taking ownership of their surroundings. Bottom-up initiatives are gaining ground, while governments and developers sometimes find themselves inadequately prepared to support this international trend, which deserves a broader scope of analysis. Through five cases in five cities (Amsterdam, Moscow, New York, Hong Kong, Taipei), different dynamics and intensities of citizen-driven urban redevelopment processes are examined, with the goal of providing new recommendations and methods that respond to community needs and individual aspirations.
