To plan our cities we usually forget the role of geographers, and I think that we need to know where to place urban functions first instead of desing concrete spaces. We need to know and plan the way this places are going to interact with the rest of the city (for example from a mobility point of view), and make them the most functional and optimal from the most ecological, social and economical point of view. So, in conclusion, architects should not be in charge of planning cities but in designing the diferent places that make them up. This is the big mistake of urban planning nowadays.

Your point is correct. But urban planning in general is heading in the right direction. Most urban planners would agree that walkability, bikability, and public transportation are the key aspects of sustainable and livable cities.

In most countries, architects are actually trained to design for the human scale. Anthropometrics form part of the architect's basic education; as such, things like pedestrianism, walkability, public mass transportation, etc. are given importance especially in the post-2010s industry. Unfortunately, things like strict zoning (can't mix home and work areas!) and required parking lots (eating up HUGE chunks of space) tie architects' hands when designing spaces.

I totally agree with you, I am an architect and professor of urban planning; with my students I am very clear that we are not the "saviors of the world" there are different professions that are important in the processes of making the city but in the Schools of Architecture they show that urban planning is only done by the engineer and architect and that is very badly.

Your argument overlooks the multidimensional nature of urban planning and the valuable role architects play in shaping cities. It is essential to consider the following points: 1- Holistic Approach: Urban planning requires a holistic approach that takes into account various aspects such as land use, infrastructure, transportation, aesthetics, and sustainability. Architects possess the expertise to integrate these diverse elements into a coherent and functional urban design. By focusing solely on the placement of urban functions, the argument neglects the importance of a comprehensive approach that architects can provide. 2- Designing Functional Spaces: Architects possess the skills to design spaces that are not only visually appealing but also functional and efficient. They understand the intricate relationship between form and function, ensuring that urban spaces meet the needs of the community. By involving architects in the planning process, cities can benefit from well-designed public spaces that enhance livability and promote social interaction. 3- Collaboration with Other Professionals: Urban planning is a collaborative effort that involves various disciplines, including urban designers, landscape architects, transportation planners, and economists. Architects can collaborate with these professionals and geographers to ensure the optimal integration of urban functions with the rest of the city. Their ability to translate conceptual ideas into tangible designs adds value to the planning process and promotes a cohesive urban fabric. 4- Balancing Social, Economic, and Ecological Factors: The argument rightly acknowledges the need to consider ecological, social, and economic factors in urban planning. However, architects are not only responsible for designing different places but can also contribute to addressing these concerns. They can incorporate sustainable design principles, promote walkability, create inclusive spaces, and address community needs through innovative design solutions. By involving architects in the planning process, cities can achieve a balance between functionality and the broader socio-environmental objectives. 5- Adaptive and Innovative Solutions: Architects possess the creativity and adaptability to respond to evolving urban challenges. They can envision innovative solutions that address emerging trends and future needs. By excluding architects from the planning process, there is a risk of limiting the creative potential and missing out on the opportunity to create forward-thinking cities that can adapt to changing circumstances. In conclusion, while geographers play a crucial role in understanding the spatial aspects of urban planning, architects bring a unique set of skills and expertise that cannot be overlooked. By integrating architects into the planning process, cities can benefit from their ability to design functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces, collaborate with other professionals, address social and ecological concerns, and provide innovative solutions. A holistic approach that combines the strengths of geographers and architects is essential for creating cities that are not only well-placed but also well-designed, catering to the diverse needs of the community and promoting sustainable urban development.

I think the problem sergio meant was that there are not enough OTHER people involved in planning and building cities. We need to understand cities, as you said, in a HOLISTIC way. Thus, we need professionals that understand different aspects of a city. None of you mentioned for example the ecology of a city, one of the most neglected things in urban planning. It’s nice to see architects learning to build sustainable buildings or landscape architects use more meadows and green infra instead of asphalt and dead lawns. But there is SO much more to urban ecology and in a crisis like this we will need to build truly in a holistic post-human manner, where other species are recognized as imporant parts of a city. We can’t just be fully in control as humans and think we can survive without other species, we need to support them and let them support us. The future of urban planning (for me) will be more involved in urban ecology and understanding the city as a whole. Ofc change is slow but there seems to be a change in the paradigm.

The fact that this documentary is called "Urban Planners get creative" but there are no actual urban planners in it, only corporations and architects talking about what cities should be. I like the spirit of the documentary, it brings interesting topics to the table. However, I think there is a misconception about what urban planning/design is and the range of professionals who collaborate in it.

It is also abit disapointing that soo few people realise that we have to question why we need that transportation at all. Nothing in our modern way of life is sustainable, everything is created around a consumer capitalistic mindset. Pretty much everything created in the city is just consumer goods, without real purpose for human wellbeing. In the real world it is simply not needed. It is just a created need by someone, to earn money. This gives you the wellfare we got in western society, it makes poor people elsewhere do our dirtywork when they believe in the dream that we just created. We create sick behaviors and needs to profit from others. It is nothing but legal theft. And everyone buys into this. It is free market capitalism. You have to ask the bigger question. It doesnt matter if you ride that electric scooter that you charge with your own solar panels on your apartments roof, everything around it is still needed. We have lived our destructive way of life for basicly 150-200 years. Two cenutries ago your footprint were 1/100-1/500 or even greater then what it is today. Humans have to step back, to solve this issue, there is no other way. But humanity will walk the way of green capitalism, unaware of the religion they got.

I like the idea of adaptive reuse, this is uncommon in the US where I work, most architects want their building to stand out and most of the time the existing structure has to be demolished. A lot of times the existing structure is just single family house, making way for apartments, so it is really hard to use existing structure. But the concept of studying the structure until a solution presented itself resonates w me since that’s also my approach to architecture and design. I wish we can do more though…

Adaptive reuse may be a novelty in a relatively young nation, like the US, but throughout history, cities were often built over, and using materials of the previous settlement.

I guess the environmental benefits don't apply as much if the new construction would dramatically increase density, as in converting a single-family home to apartments. Denser residential buildings not only decrease emissions per family housed in construction, but it also generally decreases the lifetime emissions of the residents.

@octath

Жыл бұрын

The problem with American cities is urban sprawl. Adaptive reuse is more applicable to urban centers of relative density or that allow densification through the reuse of existing building stock (for example, old industrial buildings, office towers or parking lots that are converted into mixed-use housing or urban farms). But a car-dependent city that is too spread out is unsustainable today and will continue to be so in the future. In any case, each situation deserves a particular study. The energy consumption during the useful life of a building can represent 75% of the total energy invested (including maintenance costs). If the building is very inefficient, sometimes it is more energy efficient to replace it, but, as I said, each case is unique. The energy and ecological footprint of the building stock is not usually taken into account and it is very good to pay attention to it. PS: Sorry for my english (google translate)

Instead those places built awful American suburbs that are too spread out and have dead open space meaning nobody can walk without dying from the heat, thus everybody drives (which means local businesses die and a cycle of everything become more car dependent ensues). Small 6-10m wide streets, trees everywhere for shade, natural thick stone walls to keep buildings cool, and interior courtyards that serve as private or even communal space. It really is the perfect urban form for such places, which is why it is so sad that it is ignored in favour of the philistine and inefficient American experiment.
