The presentation contains principles, and the impacts on city forms with respect to different movements- like the Park movement, linear city concept, Settlement house movement, city beautiful, and the garden city movement.
This document discusses how cities can revitalize abandoned industrial infrastructure by leveraging their cultural heritage and creative industries. It provides examples of how Sopron, Hungary and Eindhoven, Netherlands redeveloped former industrial sites by making them more pedestrian-friendly and transforming them into cultural quarters that attract creative professionals and businesses. Both cases show how respecting history, prioritizing pedestrians, and connecting new developments to the existing city helped spur economic and cultural regeneration.
This document provides details on the final design review for a Cultural Experience Centre project in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It discusses the site context and surrounding area, which is a cultural hub near Central Market. It notes issues like a lack of platforms for local artists and the dying art of pottery making. The design aims to provide space for potters to showcase their work and reconnect with their cultural heritage. Key elements of the spatial program include areas for experiencing, participating in, and learning about pottery, as well as studios and galleries. The design approach draws inspiration from pottery techniques and uses voids and overlapping spaces connected by an axis to form an uplifting "vessel" shape echoing the craft.
The project proposes a 360m long wall that offsets the existing border between the city of Porto and the Douro River, creating a new in-between space. The wall is designed to enhance the connection between the land and water by incorporating public programs along bridges that connect the wall back to the coastline. The goal is to turn the zone into a lively, active public space that attracts visitors and residents through diverse experiences along the extended route defined by the wall.

This document provides an introduction and background on the URBACT Thematic Network "Cruise Traffic and Urban Regeneration of city port heritage" (CTUR). It discusses how port cities have faced economic crises but are now undergoing renewal focused on their waterfront areas. Cruise tourism is highlighted as a new economic opportunity that can support urban regeneration if port cities develop strategies to integrate cruise activities and promote their cities as tourist destinations. The CTUR network was formed to allow partner port cities to exchange experiences and best practices related to leveraging cruise traffic for regeneration challenges. Over 30 cities applied to participate in the network, demonstrating significant interest in this topic across Europe.
Mass tourism in historic cities, the role of civil organizations in the case ...Bunt Arquitectura
Malaga is the administrative capital of the Costa del Sol, however, it has remained out of the mass tourism
until the last decade. Coinciding with the obsolescence of the port facilities, the city has found an
opportunity in cruise tourism, becoming the second largest Spanish destination in this sector. The main
attractive of Malaga is being the birthplace of one of the most revolutionary painters, Pablo Picasso;
developing a large program for museums and hotels openings, cultural events and urban projects over the
last few years in order to create an atmosphere suitable for all visitors’ tastes. On the other hand, this
process is also creating monofunctional sectors, gentrification and theming of the principal Historic Site
areas. This implies to focus on restoration plans and on projecting an image according to the one that
tourists expect to see. In this context, several civil organizations have been formed to denounce heritage
losses, social marginality and identity simplification through collaborative works that join web 2.0,
participative cartography and academic research. We present a selection of these works.

The document discusses the city of Gdynia, Poland and opportunities to improve its relationship with waterfront areas. It provides background on Gdynia's origins as a planned city in the 1920s-30s focused on its port. While the port drove growth, it also created barriers between the city and waterfront. The workshop aims to rethink the city-water interface by proposing new connections and developing specific plans. Tasks include rethinking relationships between city and water, proposing new forms of reconnection, and developing plans for different waterfront areas. The goal is to strengthen Gdynia's waterfront identity and make the areas more livable.
The Costa del Sol is one of the main mass tourism destinations throughout the Mediterranean coast.
The city of Malaga has stayed unconnected to this sector until recently, when different policies have
been applied in order to take advantage of its situation as the main arrival point for visitors travelling to
Andalusia. In just a decade the town has turned itself into a major cruise tourism destination and it has
been subject of a complete renovation to display the sort of heritage that visitors expect to see. This
process has led to the creation of wide monofunctional sectors, gentrification and theming of the
tourist-historic city while most of the rest of the Historic Site areas and their patrimonial objects remain
neglected. This paper focuses on the work that several civil organizations are currently carrying out to
analyze these consequences and propose alternatives by combining academic research and
participatory cartography.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

First of all, let me express my gratitude to be invited to this forum and to present a speech on the specific role of port cities in fields of culture and arts. It is a great honor for me to tell you something about the challenges, current opportunities and continuous development of port cities in our globalized world.
The discussion about the impact of specific local identities on current transformation processes of port cities at sea-coasts gets more and more important in the background of growing societies and economic shifts. Art and culture projects are often good solutions in urban regeneration processes. In five chapters I am going to present some examples and current snapshots of innovative and successful projects.
In historical view the complex relations between humans and the sea were driven by fear and approximation, discovery and use, exploring and opening, exploitation and regeneration even until today. At least global relationships of interdependences and interactions were reflected. And foundations for specific marine cultures were laid.
As reflecting on the historical dimensions of relationships between humans and the sea we can summarize the following recognitions:
First: The sea is shaping the development of our continents since ancient times; Second: The sea is a facilitator of expansionism and trade, a bridge and barrier of continents, a resource, and a focus of desire and imagination; And Third: Environmental concerns, climate-related issues, and the use or overuse of marine resources are subjects of growing public debates.
It is necessary for all of us to establish and develop a future-driven marine awareness in Science, Technology, Environment, Economy and Politics. Not tomorrow, but already today.
Port Cities are the center points of natural and cultural dynamics. Economy, trade and commerce, mobility and migration, all these aspects cause intercultural exchange, diversity and development.
Port Cities mirror cultural relations through trade, commerce, contacts, people and religions. They build a basis for specific maritime identities and local cultures interconnected to regional cultures, cultural diversity & sharing heritage. In this orientation such cities are also innovative fields of glocalization.
The term glocalization describes the adaptation of international or global products around the particularities of a local culture in which they are offered. The process allows integration of local markets into world markets. The glocal strategy approach is different from the local one mainly due to the different outlooks on the standardization and local adaptations of products and activities. Although the global strategy approach does recognize the need to localize products in the global community, local strategy stresses the importance of local adaptations in relation to the local market. Also, while global strategy emphasizes on global products, local strategy explains the balance that must exist between the standardization and local adaptation of activities and products.
Most port cities worldwide are modern, globalized and internationalized. They act as engines of globalization and transformation. Harbors are gateways to the world, contact zones to neighboring regions and the hinterland, and often centers of politics, religions, economies, society, technologies, arts, creativity and culture. Ports mainly operate as center points of greater urban areas and continuous development. Likewise, they are symbols of cultural diversity and authenticity which effect unique selling propositions.
Maritime identities are closely interconnected to local stories which provide global values. The ongoing struggle between humans and the sea, the balance between nature and culture, and changing challenges as well as continuous engagement reflect the perspective from the sea, innovative ways of glocalization, and combine past, present and future.
If we are going one step further we have to recognize four big current challenges in the complex field of humans, port cities and the sea: The growing population, changing economies, the globalization and last but not least the digitization. And again it is important to know: The sea doesn't need us, but we need the sea.
As social beings humans have social needs. Humans need places to live, for recreation and leisure. They need jobs, infrastructures, public services, sociability and healthy environment. Port cities satisfy these needs as parts of greater urban regeneration processes in recent years. If ports are triggers of economic development, maritime identities can be triggers of urban regeneration processes through civil and cultural development.
Fields of change in port cities concern economy, technology, social needs, education, tourism, and leisure. Especially cultural projects can combine these aspects effectively.
Events, Galleries, Museums, Arts & Cultural Centers increase in many port cities mainly on the sea-coasts.
In the following slides I want to present to you innovative cultural institutions in port cities in several European countries and in China. Some projects are already realized, and are in operation, other examples are still under construction or only planned until today.
While taking a short trip to Bremerhaven in the Northern part of Germany you must not refrain from visiting the so-called Deutsches Auswandererhaus (the German Emigration Center). An attractive permanent exhibition on the history of German emigration, especially to the United States, allures inside a 2005 completed building. Since more than one decade, the center is an important touristic destination in Bremerhaven and its surroundings. Formerly, Bremerhaven was the most important port on the European continent of emigration to America. More than 4 millions Germans and people from other European countries left their homes via the port of Bremerhaven to find new places to live and to work in the period of time from late 18th century until the mid of 20th century.
Antwerpen in Belgium entices visitors of the port city with a futuristic building, innovative exhibitions and events of the so-called Museum aan de Stroom. Local history and the international port are the main topics presented there. While visiting the exhibitions many windows provide beautiful views of the city and the sea. Therefore also the site of the museum is of great relevance and part of the given experience.
Another successful example of innovative ways in the field of culture is represented by the Ozeaneum in Stralsund directly situated at the harbor of the city and next to the East Sea. Opened in 2008 the new building attracts the visitors with several exhibitions on sea life and additional aspects.
The Musée des Civilisations de l'Europe et de la Méditerranée (shortly so-called MuCEM) offers a couple of exhibitions and events on European and Mediterranean Civilizations since it opened to the public in 2013. Directly situated next to the Mediterranean Sea ancient and contemporary art, history and crafts are on display in many innovative contextualizations.
Opened in 2014, the China Port Museum, directly situated on the sea-coast some kilometers eastern of Ningbo, try to reach the visitors with a spectacular building and exhibitions on port and maritime history.
Currently under construction is the so-called institution “The Box” in Plymouth at the South-West coast of England in the UK. The Box will present attractive exhibitions and want to provide events for different visitors. According to the local government it is also “a symbol for the city's current regeneration and future”.
The National Maritime Museum, located in the port city of Tianjin, will open soon. The new building shows an innovative architectural design. Inside and outside it offers different views on the sea, the port and the prominent architecture. Beside the China Maritime Museum in Shanghai-Pudong the museum in Tianjin will present exhibitions on maritime culture and history. When the National Maritime Museum will be opened it consists of five halls, in which each contains different exhibitions. The museum building is situated in front of a large plaza for outdoor events, marked by an observation tower also acting as the museum's energy plant.
Currently planned is the National Port Museum in Hamburg in the Northern part of Germany, situated directly at the river Elbe, an important river and gateway to the North Sea nearby. The picture shows an early architectural sketch of the museum building.
On this picture you can see two further sketches of the building of the planned National Port Museum in Hamburg.
As you can imagine while looking on the previous slides new museums in port cities act as contemporary and innovative reflections of specific maritime identities. Through the combination of modern architecture, clear content profiles and authentic places they offer attractive exhibitions and events, define unique selling points and provide huge touristic and educational potentials.
With iconic architecture, and presentations of glocalized topics on history, culture and arts on places where people want to live and come together many port cities opens new cultural dimensions. They are vivid center points of tourism destinations, promise social and economic dynamics, and authentiCITIES. Finally, such port cities lay foundations to sustainable development of arts and cultural industries.
Worldwide many people want to live in vibrant port cities. As results of successful urban regeneration processes such cities represent ideal balances of nature and culture, private and public, work and life, local and global. Today, sustainable development means more than just a promise. And the future of attractive port cities is prepared today.
Current processes of global urbanization and the growing number of mega cities are important reasons to establish a cultural life. Urban regeneration processes in port cities, mainly on the sea-coasts, were often started in recent years. Art and culture have an enormous share of innovation and quality of life in port cities. Cultural and creative industries are of increasing social and economic importance. They are specific expressions of the DNA of such cities. Activities in culture and arts facing challenges and opportunities today. They are also the binder for humans, the sea and marine culture. And necessary to live, wherever we are.
