7. Философия на статията
• Атака по съвременното градско
планиране и градско обновяване
• Как “работят” градовете в реалния
живот
• Изследване кои практики и
принципи насърчават социалната и
икономическа жизненост в
градовете
8. Разбулени митове
• Нискобюджетни проекти
– Центрове на престъпност, липса на
жизненост
• Луксозни жилищни проекти
– Успешни и жизнени
• Културни центрове, които не могат
да поддържат и една книжарница
• Градски центрове, които се избягват
от всички
• Търговски центрове – нищо повече
от крайградски супермаркети
9. Резултати от планиране
• Съсипване, вместо съживяване на
градовете
• “Балансиран квартал”, когато два
враждебни острова се поставят
един до друг
• Съсипани с лека ръка:
– Градски общности
– Хиляди малки предприятия и фирми
10. Икономическа обосновка на градското
обновяване
• Измислица
• Все повече публични инвестиции за
борба с разпадане и нестабилност
• Науката и изкуството на планиране
са в разрив, стилов разпад
• Не могат да бъдат предвидени
процесите на упадък
11. Морнингсайд, Ню Йорк
• Природна местност, открити
пространства, детски площадки
• Известен образователен център
• Липса на индустрия
• През 50-те години – бързо се
превръща в беден квартал
• Построеният жилищен квартал –
засилва процесите
• Градовете, като лаборатория
“проба-грешка”
12. Проблеми на планиране
• Игнориране на проучване на успеха
и провала в реалния живот
• Пълно объркване между
качества, потребности, предимства
и поведение
• Социално неизбежно разпадане на
старите градове срещу упадък на
новата урбанизация
• Финансови стимули в условия на
законодателна каша – усилия на
хаос
13. Проблеми на планиране (2)
• Автомобилно движение
– Често обявявано за основен виновник
за проблемите на градското
пространство
– Какво друго е необходимо да се прави
с градските улици, освен решаване на
проблемите с трафика
• Проблеми с корупция
• Подхвърлени “отгоре” изказвания
какво и как трябва да се случи
14. Норд Енд, Бостън
• Тежка индустрия по брега
• Висока концентрация на
работнически жилища
• Децата играят на улицата, като в
градски парк
• Много малки блокове, до 5
етажа, прорязани с обширни улици
15. Норд Енд от 1959-та
– Голяма част от сградите са
реновирани
– Няколко апартамента обединени в
един
– Присъствие на малък и среден бизнес
– Оживени улици
• Беден квартал, трудно се получават
заеми срещу много добра социална
статистика
• Възстановяване, не чрез кредити, а
благодарение на частни инвестиции
16. Изводи
• Псевдонаука
– Пример със изследване на
кръвопускане в медицината
– За автора градското планиране още не
се е отърсило от псевдонаука
• Условия за постигане на жизнен
град
– Без които плановете на планиращите и
дизайна на дизайнерите не могат да го
постигнат
17. Градът, като…
• Динамично място
• Успешните части на градовете, като
плодородна почва за развитие на
хората
• Цели се приятен външен вид на
градовете, без да се обръща
внимание на това как те
функционират
18. Източен Харлем, Ню Йорк
• Озеленяването не променя факта,
че хората са били принудително
преместени / разместени и с това за
загубили своята социална среда
• “… не всичко, което блести е злато”
• Цел: предградията да заработят
успешно
– Водят различен живот
19. “Рецептата” градове-градини
• Ebenezer Howard
• Самостоятелни градове
• Бедните отново да имат достъп до
природата
• Критика
– Обслужване
– Липса на динамика
20. Отражение в САЩ
• Регионално планиране
– Градовете не се развиват еднакво –
динамика на населението
• Тенденция домовете да се отвърнат
от улицата и да погледнат към
“защитената” природа в задния
двор
• Квартал за “стоки”
– Обслужването следва да се изчислява
научно
– Търговията – изолирана от зелената
21. Отражение в САЩ (Изводи)
• Затваряне на личността
• Не се третират проблемите за
градските центрове, при развитието
на града – шум, мръсотия и т.н.
22. Льо Корбюзие, 1920, вертикален град
• Социална утопия
– Освободена земя-парк, подземни
улици, комуникации само в парка
– Богати в къщи / бедни в небостъргачи
• Отражение в САЩ
– Домове, приличащи на офис
– Монумент в парк – като самостоятелна
единица
– Идеологически вакуум – комбинация
от двете концепции
23. Проект за пл. Линкълн, Ню Йорк
• Сортиране на културни или
обществени функции, без значение
как всъщност функционира градът
– Културен център – лъчи за
жилища, лъчи за пазаруване, лъчи за
образователен център
– Излязлата от мода архитектура на
красивите градски центрове
• Земеползване в ОУП
– Принцип за зониране и сортиране на
функции – да потуши всички
конфликти
