The document discusses the concept and principles of the spontaneous city according to Gert Urhahn. It provides background on Urhahn's roles related to urban planning and design. It discusses key characteristics of the spontaneous city, including that it is shaped by its occupants through ongoing transformation. It also discusses misunderstandings around the concept, noting the spontaneous city is not exclusively linked to organic growth and can involve both organic and planned development. Case studies discussed include El Alto, Bolivia and its street and parcel patterns.

62. Collective Value
Spontaneous City can’t be successful without
Public value is what is important for everybody on long term.
It is understood by everybody, and must be accessible to everybody
It entails: public space, landscape, nature, cultural heritage and
more
It is more holistic, some values are not measurable.
Value is never only intrinsic, it derives from what we value.
Public value is site-specific
Public value can also produce financial value.
