In the developed world, congested roads, over-crowding, and no-go areas have come to be regarded as “normal” in the urban context. The tangled interrelationships of infrastructure, housing, and industry result in spatial challenges. All of this is subject to governmental, social, and economic forces that influence their development and impact. The Global Schindler Award presents design and design-based thinking as an approach to confronting what we see as the “normal” consequences of urbanization and globalization. The mobility problems confronting the world’s cities are undeniable, funda- mental challenges to making cities more livable and sustainable. Demand for the provision of public transit and shifts in mobility modes due to cli- mate concerns are merely two of the many issues that will require inno- vative approaches in the 21st century. Although no consensus exists on the solutions or the costs – financial and otherwise – the scale is unquestion- ably enormous. As the engines of global growth, cities are responsible for generating the lion’s share of the world’s wealth as well as the bulk of waste and emissions. There is significant potential for pioneering approaches and solutions on the part of all urban stakeholders. Mobility systems can be leveraged as instruments for positive change. Mobility concerns do not begin and end with the journey: mobility is deeply integrated into urban life, affecting everything from the job opportunities for a single individual to the development of an entire country – not to men- tion global environmental conditions. The experience of the Schindler Group, a global mobility provider estab- lished in 1874, is that urban planners, architects, and engineers have the necessary expertise and technologies to develop inclusive models of urban development. The designers of cities can have a powerful impact on the future of our urban environments, one that can transcend the political, eco- nomic, and social spheres. Fresh ideas are needed about how the protago- nists of urban development can apply their knowledge and envision their objectives within a more holistic view of the possibilities available. That is exactly what the Global Schindler Award is trying to do. Students are pushed to research and observe the dynamics of urban development in the context of a real-world example and to use design-based responses to a specific task. Global Schindler Award 2015 | A 7 The award participants have to consider their project from the perspective of the people who will eventually inhabit the space. This means looking at the urban situation as a complex matrix, inclusive of basic needs such as housing, health, and welfare, with accessibility and equality in mind. As a companion to the Global Schindler Award 2015, the essays in this book present a selection of expert perspectives related to the concerns of the site and brief for the competition. This includes historical and cultural aspects, the reuse and redevelopment of city areas, the impact of technol- ogy, and more. Mobility is a recurring theme, and the focus is always on spatial conditions. The cover of this book, illustrated by architect and artist Matthias Gnehm, shows the breadth of the Global Schindler Award’s concerns. This book offers glimpses into the cutting-edge thinking in academia and practice with essays focused on specific topics – and the promise of a future genera- tion of designers and planners invested in their shared responsibility and powerful role in creating our shared urban future. 8 A | Introduction – Fabienne Hoelzel INTRODUCTION – IN SEARCH OF APPROACHES TO CONTEMPORARY URBAN INTERVENTION CHALLENGES Fabienne Hoelzel We live in an urban world. Globally, 54 percent of the world’s population resides in urban areas.1 Whereas the United States and Europe are close to reaching what is presumed to be the peak of their urban growth, large parts of Africa and Asia are moving into their “urban centuries.” UN Habitat describes the 21st century as the “Asian urban century”; no other region of the developing world has invested more in modern infrastructure than Asia. This has been undertaken to foster economic development through indus- trial expansion, research, innovation, and entrepreneurship, which in turn has enhanced the competitiveness of many cities in Asia.2 This publication explores the fascinating development of one of the most dynamic city regions in the world – Shenzhen, part of the Pearl River Delta in southern China – in the mirror of international trends. China has experienced rapid urbanization since the economic reforms of the late 1970s. The country’s level of urban- ization has reached roughly 53 percent of the entire population, or about 712 million people.3 In comparison, to accomplish similar levels of urban development, it took 120 years in Britain and 80 years in the United States.4 Shenzhen, the location of the Global Schindler Award 2015, has not only developed from one of China’s first Special Economic Zones, created in 1980, to one of the largest cities in the world; it is also part of one of the most dynamic polycentric urban mega-regions in the world, the Pearl River Delta. The region represents both the hope and the challenges that come with urbanization. As the Secretary General of the United Nations, Ban Ki- moon, said, cities can lead the way with local solutions to global prob- lems.5 How can urban designers contribute to this? What are the current social, economic, and environmental issues to be tackled, both in Shenzhen and in other rapidly urbanizing regions in the world? What can we learn from the mistakes of the past to guarantee a better urban future? How do we successfully integrate infrastructure planning with people- centered urban design? How can new and old structures be better assembled, and how do we bring the public into long-term planning processes? These are some of the questions that will be addressed in this publication, through theoretical reflection in the first part and through the results of design research conducted by student participants in the Global Schindler Award competition in the second part. Global Schindler Award 2015 | A 9 There is a fundamental relationship between economic development and Accessibility in Cities: Transport access to people, goods, services, and information in cities. Transport and and Urban Form urban form have strong correlations. The recognition of this interrelation- Philipp Rode (> p. 14) ship is particularly important at a time of unprecedented urban expansion, as Philipp Rode puts it in his essay. He highlights the unique policy oppor- tunity that lies in the integration of land-use and transport planning. In urban design, there is a shift away from road-capacity-oriented street plan- ning to a focus on finer-grain urban fabric. Smaller block sizes, higher building densities, and mixed-use development facilitate micro-accessibi- lity, last- mile connectivity, walkability, and social interaction. While it is obvious that classic top-down planning strategies and imple- Rocking the Roadblock mentation are needed to coordinate large-scale metropolitan development, Alexander Erath (> p. 26) small-­­­scale urban retrofit approaches can also greatly contribute to a more agreeable urban environment. Alexander Erath presents three examples of mobility metamorphoses, connecting these with his own personal walking experience in Shenzhen, which was planned as a car-based city, and where road designs do not offer much space, safety, or usability for pedestrians. Examples from Seoul, San Francisco, and Amsterdam show how well-de- signed public spaces can contribute to more livable cities. Erath’s findings are supported by UN-Habitat’s report on streets as public spaces and driv- ers of urban prosperity. Joan Close, UN-Habitat’s executive director, writes that when cities fail to integrate multifunctional streets, they tend to have less infrastructure development, lower productivity, and a poorer quality of life for their inhabitants.6 On the other hand, urban transportation nodes such as the subway offer Future Infrastructure the opportunity to extend the space of pure infrastructure with social activ- Darryl Chen (> p.

  • INTERVENTIONS in CONTEMPORARY URBAN SITUATIONS Kees Christiaanse
    The 5th International Conference of the International Forum on Urbanism (IFoU) 2011 National University of Singapore, Department of Architecture Global Visions: Risks and Opportunities for the Urban Planet INTERVENTIONS IN CONTEMPORARY URBAN SITUATIONS Kees Christiaanse The above title contains two words that play a key-role for understanding the operation of urban design and planning as a pro-active force with a concrete impact. “Intervention” indicates that influence on urbanization in general is exerted by targeted actions within a limited field, and “Situation” indicates that any given urban condition is a transient and dynamic balance between the forces of the moment. Today, there exists a general consensus about the fact that the city does not let itself be designed but merely steered in a limited way. The production of built environment takes place according to precise rules, consisting of natural processes and man-made conventions and regulations, of which economic drivers and consequently the stocks and flows of people, goods and information are predominant. However, many examples of big interventions, I call them “grands projèts”, can be found in the history of urbanization, showing that the conscious exertion of influence by man on his built environment can reach considerable degrees of control. We cannot only see this in Hausmann‟s Paris or the European high-speed rail network, but also in the self-conscious development of an island like Singapore (Fig 1). Fig 1 Singapore, Santosa construction Site 1 It is not easy to conceive a theoretical model for contemporary urbanization - a reduced representation of a far more complex constellation of systems - as a framework for understanding.

  • Competitive Campuses’ Is an International Conference Hosted by the NTNU in Trondheim in Conjunction with ETH Zürich and Sasaki Associates in Boston
    International Conference Trondheim, Norway, June 13-15, 2007 Exploiting the European Advantage through Planning Strategy and Design Competitive The Challenge for European Universities CampusesCampuses WWelcomeelceomlce ome ‘Competitive Campuses’ is an international conference hosted by the NTNU in Trondheim in conjunction with ETH Zürich and Sasaki Associates in Boston. It offers a platform on which architects and planners can exchange critical and visionary perspectives on campus developments with representatives from the political, economic and social sectors. The conference is oriented towards specialists in the field of architecture, urban design and planning, real estate and knowledge management, and is open to the public. The conference focuses on university campuses, from the revitalization of mono-functional campuses to new concepts that stimulate interaction and integration with the city. Today we experience the simultaneous emergence of two contradictory trends: on the one hand the trend to create projects that reconcile and reintegrate large-scale institutions with the surrounding urban tissue into open, communicative structures, on the other hand the trend towards ‘gated-ness’, the increasing seclusion under the influence of efficiency, economy and (social) security. That these trends are not entirely counterproductive and sometimes even are complementary is shown in several contemporary campus concepts. What kind of spatial organization promotes internal knowledge transfer and social interaction while simultaneously integrating with the surrounding urban environment? Which strategies are needed to create sustainable centers of knowledge that are flexible enough to respond to the fast changing demands of industry and society? These are but a few of the questions we hope to address in the ‘Competitive Campuses’ conference.

  • Hotels &Resorts
    THAILAND’S BEST HOTELS &RESORTS GUIDE 2016 Thailand has long held a place at, or near, the top of dream destinations for travellers in the know about its beaches with sand as fine as talcum, turquoise seas, cool mountains, enchanting culture and history, superb food and more. In 2015 the number of international travellers to Thailand increased by 5 million from the previous year to 29.9 million, and in the month of January of this year alone an all-time high of 3 million travellers was hit, validating that 2016 will certainly be a strong year for tourism in Thailand. Although the number of Chinese tourists has lately increased by jumps, European tourists still remain the key market for quality tourism since 65% of them make repeat visits to the country. H.E. Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul, Minister of Tourism and Sports, says: “Thailand’s focus now is on enhancing the image of Thailand to be a ‘Quality Leisure Destination through Thai-ness’. At the same time, we need to ensure a balance between tourism growth and its social and environmental impact.” As for which cities are the hot spots, statistic confirm that Bangkok remains the top destination (in the Asia-Pacific region) for overnight stays and tourist expenditure, while Phuket and Pattaya are also ranked in the top ten on the same index. True to its reputation for the highest standards in luxury and service, Thailand is home to numerous award-wining hotels and resorts. Hence, Lifestyle+Travel in partnership with Citibank is pleased to once again present “Thailand’s Best Hotels & Resorts”, updated for 2016, to assist you with your holiday planning.
