00:02:12.480 Thank you. 00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:20.640 In my keynote I will talk about the strategy of the city and state 00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:25.280 of Bremen, which includes the two cities Bremen and Bremerhaven 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:28.920 on the River Vasa, which are mayor port on the North Sea. 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:33.800 That's why DYNSK and Bremen are sisters in spirit and I think 00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:34.400 in heart. 00:02:35.600 --> 00:02:41.320 And my focus is neighbourhoods as a social spatial level of for 00:02:41.320 --> 00:02:44.680 climate, smart and socially just Urban Development. 00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:49.040 This includes building structures, public spaces and green 00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:53.640 areas, access to affordable housing and the coexistence of 00:02:53.640 --> 00:02:56.200 households, families and communities. 00:02:56.760 --> 00:03:01.720 This is at least about integrated Urban Development and it's 00:03:01.720 --> 00:03:04.400 about conceptual urban design. 00:03:04.640 --> 00:03:09.560 Urban conceptual urban design that responds to place, the time, 00:03:09.920 --> 00:03:13.920 the dynamics of change and the perspectives of stakeholders. 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:18.160 And last but not least, it's also about a multiple answership. 00:03:18.160 --> 00:03:21.720 The question who is the city and who makes the city? 00:03:22.600 --> 00:03:27.760 In two thousand and fifteen the bremen parliament decided on 00:03:27.760 --> 00:03:32.520 a new land use plan without extensive development on agriculture 00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:37.960 Land landscape concept was with green links and the protection 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:41.080 of green areas and build up areas is integrated. 00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:42.480 You can see it in detail. 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:49.000 So much for formal planning, but how do you integrate the many 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:53.320 issues, different interests, dynamics and conflicts into 00:03:53.320 --> 00:03:56.840 a successful Urban Development strategy? 00:03:57.320 --> 00:04:02.040 You need an image that projects the seams, the dynamics and essential 00:04:02.040 --> 00:04:04.600 structures into the space And Bremen. 00:04:04.600 --> 00:04:07.440 It's now our new image, for example. 00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:12.520 This means new development corridors or cycle passes, connections 00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:17.080 across the river, transformation areas, research spaces for 00:04:17.080 --> 00:04:21.120 new renewal programs, also social programs and so on. 00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:26.480 It is less a fixed image, I think, than a picture of a system. 00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:32.760 The first sustainable neighbourhoods are my first focus. 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:38.360 Our political Urban Development plan, Housing two thousand 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:42.960 and thirty pursues two main objectives First, the diversity, 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:48.120 Housing for all and interconnectedness housing policy As part 00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:51.960 of an integrated Urban Development policy in five fields of 00:04:51.960 --> 00:04:52.640 action. 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:57.400 We have linked this objectives, the fields and of action and 00:04:57.400 --> 00:05:02.200 tools to lead to lead projects as messengers of change. 00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:06.400 To make the implementation of the strategy visible in ongoing 00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:07.320 processes. 00:05:07.320 --> 00:05:09.920 I will present you two projects. 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.240 One of it is this part of the city, the Elnorhof. 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:19.000 It's a German subject which is located in an already developed 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:23.760 area with a social institution and an old stock of trees is owned 00:05:23.760 --> 00:05:24.960 by a Prima. 00:05:24.960 --> 00:05:29.680 Haimstiff is the foundation and together with the city of Bremen, 00:05:29.880 --> 00:05:35.560 it was developed as a a concept for sociality, inclusive neighbourhood, 00:05:36.080 --> 00:05:40.880 a mix of housing with social and cultural facilities, affordable 00:05:40.880 --> 00:05:47.200 and subsidized housing and you say no sale of land but leasehold. 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:52.280 The very important subject all buildings in timber construction 00:05:52.640 --> 00:05:57.040 and preservation of trees and also the existing buildings and 00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:01.720 a low car mobility concept, the urban design and program. 00:06:01.760 --> 00:06:06.440 We are integrated into a policy politically approved development plan. 00:06:06.440 --> 00:06:08.160 This is on the right hand side. 00:06:09.760 --> 00:06:14.400 The project partners are you can see there the owner of course, 00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:18.240 the politicians, the administration, the architects, the 00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.760 users and users, and the neighbour in the district. 00:06:21.760 --> 00:06:26.360 I think these are is the multiple authorship of such a place. 00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:31.400 A collab collaborative competition with the four architects 00:06:31.400 --> 00:06:36.920 for the entrance who has resided in a design manual for the architecture 00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:39.720 of the building to be followed in all projects. 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:48.280 You can see the timber construction and this is where we are now. 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:50.720 The entrance building are finished. 00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:55.200 Also, the subsidized flats are under construction in front. 00:06:55.680 --> 00:07:02.160 And I can show you the new street in Elnorhof bears the name of 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.600 the former mayor Dance Kabel Adamovich. 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:08.960 I think it's a sign of a friendship between our cities. 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:17.840 The roof of the mobility house on the ground floor and bike bicycles. 00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:21.320 Also the communal courtyard for the apartments. 00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:25.880 There is a rubbish bin on the corridor and there are public 's 00:07:25.880 --> 00:07:30.400 passes are accessible for everybody The student dormitory, 00:07:30.440 --> 00:07:33.920 the bremen 's first seven storey timber framed residential 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:38.520 building as part of edna hoff and also other interesting houses 00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:41.880 A special house for tenants who look after the neighbour. 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:45.960 The principal 's car instead of rent care and instead of rent 00:07:46.960 --> 00:07:50.920 a total three building Communities, we call them Balkan mine 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:52.040 shaft in German. 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:57.920 These are organised as small cooperatives are developed communal 00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:02.240 forms of housing and in the same block of a large kindergarten. 00:08:02.760 --> 00:08:09.320 And last but not least, large Hindu community was able to build 00:08:09.320 --> 00:08:13.080 a temple with wooden structure for the kitchen and share the 00:08:13.080 --> 00:08:17.000 open space with an inclusive garden project. 00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:18.800 It's about my first. 00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:23.720 Let's move to the move on to the second project, the strategy 00:08:24.640 --> 00:08:28.760 New Places of the Productive City was developed in cooperation 00:08:28.760 --> 00:08:32.560 between the planning and the economical departments in Bremen. 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:38.360 It aims for a mix of living and working and IT, and it's based on 00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:40.360 the new Leipzig Charter. 00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:44.680 You know the new European document will be adopted in two thousand 00:08:44.680 --> 00:08:49.320 and twenty first The idea is to define a mix of living and working 00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:52.160 for areas previously used for commercial. 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:58.320 To this end, a differentiated topology has been formulated 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:03.920 and it's our strategy and I will present you a flagship project 00:09:03.920 --> 00:09:05.080 for this strategy. 00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:09.240 It's a large area in the South of Bremen. 00:09:09.520 --> 00:09:15.080 Also part of it is our energy production former gas factory and 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:22.280 and it's also half of this area is made of up made up of the former 00:09:22.280 --> 00:09:26.400 brinkman tobacco factory the largest cigarette factory in 00:09:26.400 --> 00:09:31.880 europe In the nineteen thirties together with the new owners 00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:36.560 of this area we carried out a participation process with stakeholders 00:09:36.560 --> 00:09:40.400 from the authority the residents and the neighbourhood and 00:09:40.400 --> 00:09:44.560 we established a very comprehensive communication and this 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:49.560 decision making structure to work with Among other things, 00:09:49.560 --> 00:09:54.280 the participation process developed the green networks and 00:09:54.520 --> 00:09:56.120 the public space concept. 00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.560 It was one of the most important subjects. 00:09:59.040 --> 00:10:03.960 As a result, a master plan was adopted by the political authorities 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:08.160 which defines a mix of commercial and residential uses. 00:10:08.400 --> 00:10:15.400 Public infrastructure is included, a primary school and a vocational 00:10:15.400 --> 00:10:20.480 school, and we defined mobility, houses and new public and new 00:10:20.560 --> 00:10:22.200 public transport system. 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:27.040 As early as the Urban Development Framework planning stage, 00:10:27.040 --> 00:10:31.960 it was clear that many more of the existing buildings should 00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:38.560 be conserved for preservation, and this is how the Tobacco Quarter 00:10:38.560 --> 00:10:42.760 develops now in peril with the development plans. 00:10:42.760 --> 00:10:46.680 We are working on individual projects in a design committee 00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:51.520 that includes the C Knots Director of Construction. 00:10:51.520 --> 00:10:55.720 That's me and my staff, the developers and their architects 00:10:55.840 --> 00:11:00.200 to external architects and representatives of the local politics. 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.560 And this panel discussed different projects. 00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:08.160 Perhaps this old tobacco warehouse converted into a commercial 00:11:08.160 --> 00:11:12.480 loft, a new hotel in the listed factory courtyard, bremen 's 00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:17.560 first large mobility house with parking car sharing bicycle 00:11:17.560 --> 00:11:23.880 storage repair station for bikes and a roof terrace And be prepared 00:11:23.880 --> 00:11:29.040 two halls are being converted into apartments with communal 00:11:29.040 --> 00:11:33.200 areas and the first new buildings including thirty percent 00:11:33.560 --> 00:11:39.600 social and affordable housing The competition for the public 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.440 green centre and neighbourhood park was an important step part 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:45.320 of this first prize. 00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:51.960 This was the first prize is a fleet park and this is already under 00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:53.000 construction. 00:11:53.040 --> 00:11:56.760 The playgrounds for the planned apartments will also built 00:11:56.760 --> 00:12:01.280 here and rainwater retention is integrated into the concept. 00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:07.160 I'd like to focus to the next to my next point, the transformation 00:12:07.160 --> 00:12:11.280 projects and there on the urban landscape and its rule. 00:12:11.680 --> 00:12:16.840 As a third place for the city, I would like to introduce you to 00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:22.960 the overseas city Ibazish that in Bremen and this is the Mayor 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.320 transformation project on the former Harbour and shipyard 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:27.640 site on the river vessel. 00:12:27.640 --> 00:12:29.960 This is very similar like your situation. 00:12:31.520 --> 00:12:35.560 To begin with, in two thousand and three there was a master plan 00:12:35.560 --> 00:12:40.040 based on the following principles for a mayor new business park 00:12:40.040 --> 00:12:41.400 This is twenty years. 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:42.960 This was twenty years ago. 00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:49.320 The concept shows new commercial uses and possible mixed housing 00:12:49.520 --> 00:12:51.360 of housing along the harbour edge. 00:12:51.920 --> 00:12:57.880 The yellows are the commercials, orange are the mix and it was 00:12:57.880 --> 00:13:02.760 also necessary have a distance to the continuing commercial 00:13:02.760 --> 00:13:06.440 and industrial uses especially over here and over here. 00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:13.960 An important step was that decision to protect a number of large 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:19.360 warehouses and sheds as listed buildings, which we were converted 00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:25.960 into the art Academy and office lofts, and also residential 00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:29.720 lofts in conjunction with commercial uses. 00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:34.040 These projects became messengers of change in the overseas city. 00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:38.840 So companies in the timber, timber and factory harbour, the 00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:42.160 existing companies, have a special place in the development 00:13:42.160 --> 00:13:42.800 process. 00:13:43.160 --> 00:13:47.480 They are organised in an interest group with a spokesperson 00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:50.800 and we coordinate all planning and projects in the overseas 00:13:50.800 --> 00:13:54.440 city with these companies and of their organization. 00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:58.440 This includes also contracts with the new owners of the site. 00:13:59.880 --> 00:14:03.440 In recent years the overseas city and especially the Western 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:08.360 part has been the focus of housing development over here and 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:13.440 including also three percent social housing It was a special 00:14:13.640 --> 00:14:18.440 political decision by the Bremen CNET to do it for the last remaining 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:20.720 vacant land for this site. 00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:25.800 Over here we are now under, we are under discussion currently 00:14:25.800 --> 00:14:29.440 preparing competition for a special project. 00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:33.800 We call it Peak seventeen This should be an exclusive commercial 00:14:33.800 --> 00:14:39.280 area and we want to create here in an existing ice house an energy 00:14:39.280 --> 00:14:46.800 port, so called energy port The the land along the European harbour 00:14:46.800 --> 00:14:52.240 is almost complete developed and the development, the development 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:55.800 of this neighbourhood in the making, we call it the neighbourhood 00:14:55.800 --> 00:14:59.520 in the making, has put new questions on the agenda. 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.360 What social and cultural facilities do almost three thousand 00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:05.680 new residents need? 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:11.000 Does everything have to build on or will be the temporary oversee 00:15:11.400 --> 00:15:14.720 Meadow here a public open space for everyone? 00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:16.880 Important new questions for us? 00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:22.520 We have lessons learned and that's why you can, I will present 00:15:22.520 --> 00:15:27.680 you the update of the youth concept and it shows a changed perspective 00:15:27.680 --> 00:15:31.800 for the head and the South side of the European harbour. 00:15:31.800 --> 00:15:36.960 This part of it, following the closure of the large Kellogg's 00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:43.400 production, it was over here side the the Kellogg production 00:15:43.400 --> 00:15:43.720 side. 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:48.080 It has been possible to develop a different program here and 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.160 the Gustav Seche Foundation. 00:15:50.160 --> 00:15:54.480 It's a large Bremen best construction company, has developed 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:58.800 a striking example of buildings of the heart for the heart of 00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:02.240 for the head of the European harbour. 00:16:02.640 --> 00:16:08.280 These are for buildings, building blocks with a mix of new offices, 00:16:08.280 --> 00:16:09.960 apartments and services. 00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:15.920 Above the Mobility hub, Mobility building is a convert is a covered 00:16:15.920 --> 00:16:21.160 playground for the children and this have been a number of social 00:16:21.160 --> 00:16:22.840 and affordable housing developments. 00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:26.400 These are the places of affordable houses. 00:16:26.520 --> 00:16:28.640 These are part of this project. 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:34.840 One of the essentials essential elements of the urban design 00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:39.800 was a high ground floor that could be used for public purposes. 00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:45.040 And finally, the architecture should become part of the historical 00:16:45.040 --> 00:16:47.040 context of our overseas cities. 00:16:47.040 --> 00:16:49.520 That's why we have such an architecture. 00:16:49.520 --> 00:16:54.280 And if you look at the old houses, the production, the mills and 00:16:54.280 --> 00:16:57.400 something like this, it should be nearby. 00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:02.840 It was our idea, the South side of the old European harbour. 00:17:03.160 --> 00:17:07.160 The concept for Oversea Island was developed in collaboration 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:12.680 with the new owner of the Kellogg site and as a result of this competition 00:17:13.280 --> 00:17:17.640 which was organised as a dialogue, the designs of total three 00:17:18.600 --> 00:17:21.920 architectural offices were integrated into the first study 00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:27.640 of the overall concept and on this basis we conducted an an interesting 00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:30.160 public participation process on site. 00:17:30.560 --> 00:17:34.600 This was an opportunity for for participations to get to know 00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:40.840 the previously closed area in the first moment and to discuss 00:17:40.840 --> 00:17:43.960 the ideas from the first study six months later. 00:17:44.360 --> 00:17:48.920 Together with the jury, the owner and also the architects of 00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:53.160 the competition be presented the result of the further development 00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:56.400 into a framework plan for the oversea island. 00:17:57.080 --> 00:18:01.600 Looking at its integration into the bremen 's urban landscape 00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:05.520 the importance and opportunity for further development of 00:18:05.520 --> 00:18:10.000 this city public realm system can be seen You can see as part of 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:14.880 our waterfront and be connected with our green areas in the city. 00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:20.520 The structural concept includes proposals for the integration 00:18:20.520 --> 00:18:26.280 of existing buildings like here or like there and a large school 00:18:26.280 --> 00:18:32.800 site in a central location over here, a different differentiated 00:18:32.800 --> 00:18:35.480 building structure for living and working. 00:18:35.840 --> 00:18:41.400 You can see it here and above all a new park and green spaces directly 00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:45.000 on the river, ways over here, over here and over here and also 00:18:45.280 --> 00:18:46.840 here in this peak. 00:18:48.600 --> 00:18:52.800 The idea is in line with the idea of different new neighbourhoods 00:18:52.800 --> 00:18:58.120 in this part of overseas city and the conversion of the silo into 00:18:58.120 --> 00:19:03.080 a hotel and the reconstruction of the rice store next to is it 00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:04.640 are nearing completion. 00:19:05.760 --> 00:19:09.520 For the first part in the oversea island, competitions have 00:19:09.520 --> 00:19:14.000 been held for both residential and commercial use, the large 00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:20.160 Stefani Bougon this part of it with two two hundred and six two 00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:24.280 hundred and sixty flats one hundred and twenty also subsidised 00:19:24.520 --> 00:19:30.120 is awarded first prize and we are under construction now The 00:19:30.120 --> 00:19:34.160 neighbourhood plan came into force with the political decision 00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:38.840 this one and includes many measures to adapt to climate change 00:19:38.840 --> 00:19:41.280 and an innovative mobility concept. 00:19:42.280 --> 00:19:47.640 zero point two parking spaces pet dwelling It's very interesting 00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:53.080 and very it was a very interesting discussion and a very exposed 00:19:53.080 --> 00:19:55.520 site directly on the river. 00:19:55.520 --> 00:20:02.440 I show you this part is to remain as a green area in cooperation 00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:03.560 with the new owner. 00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:06.160 So the Musa Vaf. 00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:09.600 It's a vegetable yard, it's a special activity in Bremen. 00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:14.560 Set it here and hopes are grown for the brewery and vegetables 00:20:14.560 --> 00:20:15.280 are grown here. 00:20:15.280 --> 00:20:19.280 And the gardeners of this projects are people from an inclusive 00:20:19.280 --> 00:20:19.960 project. 00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:24.400 Then they need some time support and in the evening and on weekend 00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:27.360 you can go sit here, buy or drink someone. 00:20:27.360 --> 00:20:28.560 I think it's a cert. 00:20:31.320 --> 00:20:38.760 Next, the next project will have to do OK with the flood protection 00:20:38.760 --> 00:20:42.000 in our city and our special in the overseas city. 00:20:42.320 --> 00:20:46.400 The dykes and the Overseas city need to be extended and raised 00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:48.720 due to the rising sea level. 00:20:49.080 --> 00:20:54.560 This is also the case here at the Turning Basin at the western 00:20:54.560 --> 00:20:56.200 end of the overseas city. 00:20:56.360 --> 00:20:59.400 At first a look at the old master plan. 00:21:00.120 --> 00:21:04.440 The master plan foresees A promenade and Marina with a skyline. 00:21:05.760 --> 00:21:07.560 We ask, is it? 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:14.520 Is that an actually answer for a new district in the city? 00:21:14.520 --> 00:21:19.560 And we decided to interpret this place in a completely different way. 00:21:20.120 --> 00:21:23.640 Under the headline Living with the city, Living with the River, 00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:30.160 Excuse me, we saw a soft edge with other words, a typical landscape 00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:31.040 on the coast. 00:21:31.040 --> 00:21:35.840 And though the end, the western end of our overseas city, which 00:21:35.840 --> 00:21:41.200 also protects against flooding, has become a strand, we call 00:21:41.280 --> 00:21:46.080 them Wallace Hand, a beach for everyone lighted and looking 00:21:46.320 --> 00:21:46.960 West. 00:21:47.080 --> 00:21:49.960 This is the flood protect protection. 00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:54.760 There is a bench and if you'll sit here and if you can see it, it's 00:21:54.760 --> 00:21:57.280 a new place, a new open space in the city. 00:21:57.280 --> 00:22:02.960 You can sit here through the lighthouse looking west also looking 00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:06.800 to the North Sea, the Atlantic and sometimes to New York City. 00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:10.480 And it's interesting. 00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:16.080 In summer, it was used as a catwalk by the school art and design 00:22:16.080 --> 00:22:17.560 for their fashion show. 00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:23.760 And indeed I think it's a third place and a very common situation. 00:22:25.120 --> 00:22:31.400 OK For the adjacent building site, which is owned by the Municipal 00:22:31.600 --> 00:22:34.760 Municipal, Municipal Housing Association. 00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:40.200 He developed a special housing project in a competition in this place. 00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:46.880 You can see it and we called the competition unusual living Children 00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:47.800 in the city. 00:22:47.800 --> 00:22:50.400 It will be a very nice housing project. 00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:55.920 Lots of play and exercise areas on two levels, cluster flats 00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:05.640 and also cluster flats and situations flats for different households. 00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:09.240 A large part of the flats will be also subsidized. 00:23:09.960 --> 00:23:14.680 This brings me to my third and final point, social integration. 00:23:15.320 --> 00:23:23.120 The setting is wow, the Garden City of Neufar and the large housing 00:23:23.120 --> 00:23:24.360 estate Neufar. 00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:28.800 It was planned in nineteen fifties and built in the early nineteen 00:23:28.800 --> 00:23:34.160 sixties with which is now then sixty years old The Neufar was 00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:38.440 the largest housing project in the former Federal Republic 00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:43.400 of Germany and on that also attracted international intent. 00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:44.680 In attention. 00:23:44.840 --> 00:23:50.440 Here by the way, you can see the American architect Richard Neutra 00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:54.800 on the roof of a high rise building designed by our auto. 00:23:55.040 --> 00:23:57.080 It was very interesting time. 00:23:58.320 --> 00:24:03.080 A few years ago we carried out a planning and participation process 00:24:03.080 --> 00:24:07.040 for this large housing estate for this neighbourhood, together 00:24:07.040 --> 00:24:12.880 with the owners, our our municipality housing company and with 00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:16.520 experts and above all with the residents. 00:24:17.040 --> 00:24:22.360 The main finding here, if you ask the people, green and open space, 00:24:22.360 --> 00:24:26.800 as well as what water areas are seen and appreciated by residents 00:24:26.800 --> 00:24:30.120 as the most important quality we want to have. 00:24:30.120 --> 00:24:36.160 Green mobility and transport have been the most controversial 00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:39.880 issues in terms of citizens views of course. 00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:44.600 And as fair as housing is concerned, while there is a desire to 00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:49.840 increase the supply, there is a vehement reaction of densification 00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:53.720 through new this new construction, this place. 00:24:53.760 --> 00:24:59.720 OK that's why we needed a strategy that integrates three seems 00:24:59.880 --> 00:25:04.880 a mobile city with new services for mobility, a blue green city 00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:11.200 for open spaces and our water system and a city for all as a preservation 00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:16.560 a perspective for housing The blue green city is one first example 00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:23.320 Here the Give Oba, our housing company has re naturalized a camera 00:25:23.320 --> 00:25:28.440 and redesigned the green space and the city for all. 00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:32.760 This is also very interesting, The housing project, the Bremen 00:25:32.760 --> 00:25:39.400 Point, this kind of building and the Bremen Point is a special 00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:40.760 type of housing in you. 00:25:41.600 --> 00:25:46.480 It very free, quickly built from prefabricated elements and 00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:52.200 very variable in in its floor plans and most of the new residents 00:25:52.520 --> 00:25:53.560 in this housing. 00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:57.200 And you can see it here, you can see it here and you can see it here. 00:25:58.200 --> 00:25:59.480 They come from the neighbourhood. 00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:02.840 It should be the grandmother, the young single mother or the 00:26:02.840 --> 00:26:06.760 patchwork family with a person in need of care and so on. 00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:11.160 A final remark from me at least. 00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:19.280 You need trust and communication is almost almost everything. 00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:22.160 A change of perspective is often crucial. 00:26:23.080 --> 00:26:25.600 Then you can shape Urban Development. 00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:33.920 Thank you very much for the first presentation and at the same 00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:38.080 time I would like to swiftly move on to inviting Professor Mark 00:26:38.080 --> 00:26:41.720 Strauss, who came to us from New York University. 00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:48.800 The US who at the same time of this to few weeks in partnership 00:26:48.800 --> 00:26:51.720 with the next University of Technology, has been running a number 00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:56.360 of lectures with our students and the topic of his Today's presentation 00:26:56.360 --> 00:26:58.160 at the second Introductory presentation. 00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:11.200 Today's top down, bottom up Vision by design, Zen Dobre. 00:27:12.800 --> 00:27:18.560 That's the only Polish I've learned, but welcome and I also want. 00:27:18.560 --> 00:27:22.560 I really enjoyed iris 's presentation We discovered last night 00:27:22.560 --> 00:27:26.680 that we were fifteen years ago we were part of a presentation 00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:31.720 in New York for as as a conference for Citizens Housing and Planning 00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:35.760 Council and we got reacquainted at the reception last yesterday 00:27:35.760 --> 00:27:36.200 evening. 00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:42.520 Now, as was mentioned, I'm now teaching a course on planning 00:27:42.520 --> 00:27:47.120 and development for a planning and design for development at 00:27:47.120 --> 00:27:50.320 the Shack Real Estate Institute at NYU in New York. 00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:54.480 But for twenty years I've been a senior principal in charge of 00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:58.200 planning at a firm now called FX Collaborative. 00:27:58.640 --> 00:28:02.800 And I became a Fulbright specialist couple of years ago in Urban 00:28:02.800 --> 00:28:07.640 planning, which brought me to Gdansk where I'm now teaching 00:28:08.120 --> 00:28:13.920 a course at the Gonsk Institute of Technology. 00:28:13.920 --> 00:28:17.760 And I'm also, I'm excited about participating today. 00:28:20.640 --> 00:28:25.640 Now, although this is my first time in Poland, a few years ago, 00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:29.480 I've learned that my fourteenth great grandfather was King 00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:32.240 of Poland for for a day. 00:28:34.120 --> 00:28:39.000 He was a financial advisor to and secretary to Prince Radswell 00:28:39.280 --> 00:28:39.920 and wins. 00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:45.440 Stefan Battery died and we saw his portrait at the reception 00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:46.080 last night. 00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:51.600 He was like they were not allowed to go one day without a king, 00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:57.080 and they appointed temporary kings and they appointed my fourteenth 00:28:57.080 --> 00:29:00.000 great grandfather as the temporary king. 00:29:01.360 --> 00:29:03.640 You can read more about it in Wikipedia. 00:29:03.840 --> 00:29:12.160 His name was Saul Wall Katzen Ellenbagen, but in terms of my planning 00:29:12.560 --> 00:29:17.200 and my architecture background, I originally studied architecture 00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:21.520 at Cornell University, where I got a a Bachelor of Architecture 00:29:21.520 --> 00:29:23.040 degree, professional degree. 00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:29.080 But I immediately went on to a program that was set up at City College 00:29:29.080 --> 00:29:34.360 in New York by Jonathan Barnett who was the first urban designer 00:29:34.520 --> 00:29:38.240 as part of city planning in the In the City Under of former Mayor 00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:38.920 Lindsay. 00:29:39.240 --> 00:29:45.080 And he created a program in of masters of urban planning in urban 00:29:45.080 --> 00:29:49.080 design where he deliberately was trying to get architects involved 00:29:49.080 --> 00:29:53.680 with urban planning because in this sixties and seventies there 00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:59.480 was a sort of a backlash against the the urban renewal plans and 00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:02.720 Robert Moses and you had a lot of people going into planning in 00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:05.800 New York that was were very anti development. 00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:11.240 So he he was involved with trying to get architects to understood 00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:16.040 development to participate in the planning process and to get 00:30:16.320 --> 00:30:20.160 a master 's in urban design and planning And he also wrote a book 00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:24.080 called Urban Design as Public Policy, which really looked at 00:30:24.080 --> 00:30:29.640 the fact that, you know that developers weren't the enemy and 00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:32.680 that there are opportunities to engage with the developers 00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:37.280 and provide incentives to give the cities what they want and 00:30:37.280 --> 00:30:40.680 what they need and what the public needs, but still allow development 00:30:41.120 --> 00:30:44.280 to happen and to support the development process. 00:30:44.600 --> 00:30:47.160 So this was a a great starting point for me. 00:30:47.360 --> 00:30:50.840 And he also said that urban design is not something that can be 00:30:50.840 --> 00:30:54.360 accomplished by retiring from the world and drawing beautiful 00:30:54.360 --> 00:30:55.880 visions of a better tomorrow. 00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:59.720 It is accomplished by a step to step step by step involvement 00:30:59.960 --> 00:31:01.400 in the problems of today. 00:31:01.760 --> 00:31:05.120 And that's been something that I've been very unconscious of 00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:13.480 now when I graduated from the program with with Barnett, I joined 00:31:14.280 --> 00:31:20.120 at the time a young startup firm called Cone Pederson Fox, which 00:31:20.120 --> 00:31:23.600 has now become one of the largest architectural firms in the 00:31:23.600 --> 00:31:24.160 world. 00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:26.440 And I was the tenth employee there. 00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:30.560 And then I ended up becoming, after sixteen years, Director 00:31:30.560 --> 00:31:35.120 of Planning when I was involved with a large scale urban design 00:31:35.120 --> 00:31:37.200 and planning projects all over the world. 00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:44.000 In nineteen ninety three i broke away with another senior person 00:31:44.280 --> 00:31:48.640 from cone pedersen Fox and I started my own firm called John Becker 00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:54.680 Strauss and we got involved with large scale planning efforts 00:31:55.280 --> 00:31:55.760 as well. 00:31:55.760 --> 00:31:59.920 But I was trying to create a practice that was more focused on 00:31:59.920 --> 00:32:03.240 the Northeast because I started raising a family and at Cone 00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:06.800 Pedersen Fox I found myself travelling back and forth to Asia 00:32:06.800 --> 00:32:10.280 every two weeks and I felt that I needed to create something that 00:32:10.280 --> 00:32:11.560 was more locally based. 00:32:12.040 --> 00:32:14.720 So I started get we started getting involved with infrastructure 00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:15.760 and transportation. 00:32:16.040 --> 00:32:19.400 We became the prime architects for the Hudson Bergen Light Rail 00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:23.520 Transit and we got involved with community redevelopment projects 00:32:23.520 --> 00:32:27.200 and as well as the redevelopment of the Buffalo in our harbour. 00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:35.480 That's now complete after a number of years but it it but the at 00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:41.160 the end of the nineteen nineties early two thousand we we found 00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:45.560 ourselves being courted by a number of larger EA firms because 00:32:45.560 --> 00:32:49.560 of our engineering architecture firms because of our involvement 00:32:49.560 --> 00:32:54.240 with transportation and infrastructure And we thought about 00:32:54.320 --> 00:33:00.360 joining a larger firm again and we then decide we really wanted 00:33:00.360 --> 00:33:04.000 to be more part of an architectural practice that had a focus 00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:07.600 on design and not necessarily an engineering culture. 00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:10.320 And we joined forces. 00:33:10.320 --> 00:33:16.560 We merged with a firm at the time called Fox and Fowl, now FX Collaborative, 00:33:17.040 --> 00:33:21.120 and it's a firm that had some core values that we appreciated. 00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:26.080 One was urbanism, the other was sustainability. 00:33:26.360 --> 00:33:30.720 On the right, you see the first green skyscraper built in New 00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:32.080 York, Four Times Square. 00:33:32.080 --> 00:33:37.120 That was their design and they were also very they were very involved 00:33:37.120 --> 00:33:38.520 with technical innovation. 00:33:38.800 --> 00:33:45.240 But the main focus for the firm was design and the firm was also 00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:50.760 involved with with many areas of of focus, residential development, 00:33:50.760 --> 00:33:54.480 office development, interiors, cultural. 00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:59.920 We designed a museum at the Statue of Liberty and then we brought 00:33:59.920 --> 00:34:03.280 the infrastructure and the urban design and planning to the 00:34:03.280 --> 00:34:05.080 firm to round it out. 00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:14.160 In addition to the core values that previously mentioned the 00:34:14.160 --> 00:34:19.360 partners in the firm felt it was a very important for senior people 00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:24.120 at at the time Fox and Fowl to contribute to the community. 00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:29.280 And I got involved, became chair of the planning committee for 00:34:29.280 --> 00:34:32.880 the AIA in New York with Americans of Architects, the New York 00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:38.120 chapter and then became Vice President for public Outreach 00:34:38.560 --> 00:34:43.840 just as nine eleven occurred in new york And I was asked as the 00:34:44.080 --> 00:34:48.720 as the Vice President I was asked to help put together a group 00:34:48.720 --> 00:34:53.880 to not only help in the immediate rebuilding process in lower 00:34:53.880 --> 00:34:59.240 Manhattan after the World Trade Center was bombed, but to also 00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:01.320 think about a long term vision. 00:35:01.800 --> 00:35:07.880 So we created a group called New York New Visions that provided 00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:10.920 the principles for rebuilding lower Manhattan. 00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:16.160 And we had basically twenty one different organizations, the 00:35:16.640 --> 00:35:20.560 American Planning Association of New York, the Regional Plan 00:35:20.560 --> 00:35:23.520 Authority, graphic designers, Engineer. 00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:30.000 And we formed six committees to look at the memorial process, 00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:35.880 improving connections on how to create a more diverse environment, 00:35:36.200 --> 00:35:40.560 how to encourage balanced growth and how to promote Environmental 00:35:40.560 --> 00:35:41.240 Quality. 00:35:41.960 --> 00:35:48.360 And the focus was ninety page document called the principles 00:35:48.360 --> 00:35:52.280 for rebuilding Lower Manhattan that was then adopted by the 00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:56.120 Lower Manhattan Development Corporation as a blueprint for 00:35:56.640 --> 00:35:58.080 the redevelopment that's occurred. 00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:03.800 And and it was really provided a focus for rebuilding lower Manhattan 00:36:03.800 --> 00:36:08.560 better creating a more inclusive planning process honoring 00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:16.400 psyche in place, the whole memorial process and also supporting 00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:17.160 the principles. 00:36:17.160 --> 00:36:21.760 And and basically this basic principles was to bring development 00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:26.560 down to the ground, let the the streets and the pedestrians integrate 00:36:26.560 --> 00:36:31.760 with the city around it and really create a focus for transportation 00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:33.200 and connections as well. 00:36:35.520 --> 00:36:40.360 After my involvement with New York New Visions, I helped to create 00:36:41.000 --> 00:36:46.520 a Center for Architecture and a focus for Public Policy in New 00:36:46.520 --> 00:36:47.000 York. 00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:52.360 And we created on the Center for Architecture in in Greenwich 00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:56.960 Village, not far from NYU and Washington Square Park. 00:36:57.640 --> 00:37:03.280 And every day now there's about three or four events and exhibitions 00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:07.400 dealing with the design and planning process in New York at the 00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:07.800 center. 00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:11.160 And if and if you get to New York, I hope you visit the center. 00:37:12.560 --> 00:37:17.320 And then I was asked to become president of the AIA and and borrowing 00:37:17.320 --> 00:37:22.520 from Jonathan Barnett, I created a theme for my year as instead 00:37:22.520 --> 00:37:24.960 of our urban design is public policy. 00:37:25.200 --> 00:37:28.960 It was architecture as public policy, getting public officials 00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:33.320 to appreciate that good design and good planning matters and 00:37:33.680 --> 00:37:37.800 developed a number of articles on the subject and one entitled 00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:43.520 Listening, learning and Leading, which was all about the fact 00:37:43.520 --> 00:37:46.680 that architects need to appreciate, understand community 00:37:46.680 --> 00:37:51.120 concerns, need to listen and and learn from that. 00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:53.120 And then but they also have to leave. 00:37:53.120 --> 00:37:56.800 It's not just giving back what you heard, but also understanding 00:37:56.800 --> 00:38:01.400 best practices and working with the community to create better 00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:02.040 places. 00:38:03.840 --> 00:38:10.920 At FX Collaborative my I LED an urban design and planning studio 00:38:11.280 --> 00:38:15.440 and we got involved with significant projects related to transit 00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:22.240 oriented development, integration of natural systems sustainability, 00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:26.200 projects that aren't just about environmental sustainability, 00:38:26.440 --> 00:38:29.720 but of course economic and social sustainability as well. 00:38:30.200 --> 00:38:35.120 A big focus of my work has been on redefining suburbia and also 00:38:35.120 --> 00:38:36.640 brownfields redevelopment. 00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:44.240 We also got involved with significant competitions, one of 00:38:44.240 --> 00:38:48.880 which I'll mention we we competed for the North Haven competition 00:38:49.160 --> 00:38:56.080 in Copenhagen where the brief was to it was the former container 00:38:56.080 --> 00:39:00.000 port shipping area adjacent to the city. 00:39:00.520 --> 00:39:03.720 They were moving a container port outside of the city and they 00:39:03.720 --> 00:39:09.640 wanted to find a new mixed use area close to the heart of of copenhagen 00:39:10.040 --> 00:39:13.560 that would accommodate forty thousand residents forty thousand 00:39:13.560 --> 00:39:18.480 jobs and forty thousand bicycles We did not win the competition, 00:39:18.800 --> 00:39:23.760 but we created a plan that for us entering competitions was also 00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:26.000 a way of exploring new ideas. 00:39:26.320 --> 00:39:33.080 And we defined our our project as city, regenerative connect, Extend. 00:39:33.080 --> 00:39:38.000 Weave was about connecting urban infrastructure, extending 00:39:38.320 --> 00:39:42.720 the waterways through the project, making it a part of Copenhagen 00:39:42.720 --> 00:39:46.120 as a whole and then weaving open space. 00:39:46.600 --> 00:39:51.200 In that context, many of you are probably familiar with the finger 00:39:51.200 --> 00:39:55.240 plan for redevelopment of of Copenhagen after World War two 00:39:55.240 --> 00:39:58.480 where the idea that development would occur on the fingers where 00:39:58.480 --> 00:39:59.720 infrastructure occurred. 00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:05.880 And to keep open space between those elements and undeveloped. 00:40:06.200 --> 00:40:10.240 And so we looked at that plan as a as a metaphor and we wanted to 00:40:10.240 --> 00:40:14.400 create fingers of green space that would integrate itself with 00:40:14.520 --> 00:40:18.440 each neighbourhood, that would then connect to a large park 00:40:18.720 --> 00:40:20.680 that would open out to the aristot. 00:40:24.160 --> 00:40:25.120 This was. 00:40:25.160 --> 00:40:25.520 It was. 00:40:25.600 --> 00:40:30.200 There were also very many ways that we looked at how to really 00:40:30.200 --> 00:40:34.320 create a sustainable city for the twenty first century and we 00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:40.120 focused on not only greenways but also sustainable agriculture 00:40:40.120 --> 00:40:47.720 and and different ways of of dealing with producing energy Although 00:40:47.720 --> 00:40:53.400 we didn't win the competition in Copenhagen, the World Architecture 00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:59.040 News called this project the best Urban Design project of two 00:40:59.040 --> 00:41:02.680 thousand nine So we're very proud of some of the ideas that we 00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:03.760 generated. 00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:09.920 Getting back to the work in New York, most of our work involved 00:41:12.400 --> 00:41:16.560 working in the Northeast, New York, but also what we call the 00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:18.240 Amtrak corridor. 00:41:18.240 --> 00:41:22.920 We were working a lot in Boston and down in Philadelphia as well 00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:28.560 as Washington, DC where the rail connections occur in urban 00:41:28.560 --> 00:41:29.240 places. 00:41:29.600 --> 00:41:33.160 And one of the first projects that we got involved with with the 00:41:33.160 --> 00:41:37.920 redevelopment of downtown Jamaica, which became a railroad. 00:41:38.200 --> 00:41:41.920 It was a railroad hub for the Long Island Railroad that extended 00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:46.360 out into the east of Long Island, Nassau and Suffolk Counties. 00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:53.800 And as part of that effort, we looked at also the fact that they 00:41:53.800 --> 00:41:59.080 were building a air train connection from JFK Airport to Jamaica. 00:41:59.480 --> 00:42:04.360 And we wanted to explore how to redefine downtown Jamaica as 00:42:04.360 --> 00:42:06.320 an airport related business center. 00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:11.080 So we we looked at soft sites, redevelopment sites around the 00:42:11.080 --> 00:42:16.320 transportation center and we looked at how we can create a not 00:42:16.320 --> 00:42:20.960 just a plan for development, but a plan for open space where you 00:42:20.960 --> 00:42:24.560 could create public spaces that would become the forefront 00:42:25.600 --> 00:42:27.240 for these development sites. 00:42:29.120 --> 00:42:34.720 This is a rendering that was created for it and and with including 00:42:34.720 --> 00:42:38.080 a major public space at the transportation center. 00:42:38.960 --> 00:42:43.080 And we also developed development guidelines for each of the 00:42:43.080 --> 00:42:46.600 individual sites that were then incorporated by the City of 00:42:46.600 --> 00:42:48.920 New York in the rezoning that occurred. 00:42:49.280 --> 00:42:52.400 And we've been involved with a numerous redevelopment projects 00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:56.480 in this area, including one that's now complete in the lower 00:42:56.480 --> 00:42:56.960 right. 00:42:59.760 --> 00:43:05.920 Another big effort in New York was the master planning of an area 00:43:05.920 --> 00:43:13.720 that's called Hunters Point south It was about a sixty acre former 00:43:13.720 --> 00:43:17.560 industrial site on the East River in Queens. 00:43:18.840 --> 00:43:24.560 In the sixties and seventies the state controlled the property 00:43:24.920 --> 00:43:29.920 and and developed an original plan for the entire waterfront 00:43:29.920 --> 00:43:32.440 area that they called Queens West. 00:43:32.880 --> 00:43:39.680 And in the early two thousands the city of new york took the project 00:43:39.760 --> 00:43:45.560 over on everything basically to the south in the in this plan 00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:50.800 And we were asked to help create a new master plan for that area 00:43:51.120 --> 00:43:55.240 that focused on creating five thousand units of housing where 00:43:55.240 --> 00:43:59.200 seventy five percent of them would be affordable And because 00:43:59.200 --> 00:44:02.720 the city was controlling the properties, they were able to give 00:44:02.720 --> 00:44:06.800 incentives to develop developers to create affordable housing. 00:44:07.080 --> 00:44:11.880 And we looked at how to redefine this area to create a larger open 00:44:11.880 --> 00:44:16.280 space and park on the water 's edge how to organize the sites how 00:44:16.280 --> 00:44:20.640 to create green connections and and specifically a lot of the 00:44:22.200 --> 00:44:26.000 the view corridors were focused on a view of the empire state 00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:29.520 building in manhattan that was directly visible from this site 00:44:31.480 --> 00:44:36.440 Again we we defined the plan, created opportunities for residential 00:44:36.440 --> 00:44:40.800 buildings as well as schools and library and and other amenities 00:44:41.400 --> 00:44:45.480 and we created design guidelines that were then incorporated 00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:51.320 into the zoning for New York City that were and which were were 00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:55.640 given to developers as they bid on the individual parcels. 00:44:56.000 --> 00:45:00.520 And today the project is about seventy five percent complete 00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:03.280 This is the overall rendering that we put together. 00:45:03.600 --> 00:45:07.240 It's not much different when we if we look at a photograph of of 00:45:07.240 --> 00:45:12.640 what's been built today, another big area of of our focus and 00:45:12.640 --> 00:45:16.760 my focus has been redefining suburbia. 00:45:17.240 --> 00:45:22.080 Tom Swazi was a former congressman at the time in the early two 00:45:22.080 --> 00:45:25.680 thousands was County Executive in Nassau County. 00:45:25.960 --> 00:45:32.760 And Nassau is the county immediately to the east of New York City 00:45:33.240 --> 00:45:34.480 on Long Island. 00:45:35.160 --> 00:45:42.440 And here you can see the county in the yellow between Suffolk 00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:43.840 and New York City. 00:45:44.320 --> 00:45:49.800 And there's an area in in the middle which was a a a very large area, 00:45:49.800 --> 00:45:53.680 almost number of square miles. 00:45:54.120 --> 00:45:59.800 And it it was an area that was a former military base that was decommissioned 00:46:01.240 --> 00:46:05.960 in the in the sixties and seventies And when it was decommissioned, 00:46:08.240 --> 00:46:12.040 some of the property was given to a sports arena, some of it was 00:46:12.040 --> 00:46:18.160 given to build a major shopping mall, some of it was given to a 00:46:18.560 --> 00:46:19.720 Community College. 00:46:21.960 --> 00:46:24.880 But there was nothing that bounded together. 00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:29.200 There were large areas of single land uses under utilized open 00:46:29.200 --> 00:46:34.280 space, lot of surface parking, no pedestrian connections and 00:46:34.280 --> 00:46:38.000 the existing railroad stations that didn't run through like 00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:40.680 Nassau County and Long Island is well served by rail. 00:46:40.920 --> 00:46:44.360 But because this was a military base, the rail didn't run through it. 00:46:44.640 --> 00:46:48.840 So it was all disconnected to the the railroad infrastructure. 00:46:49.600 --> 00:46:55.320 So we looked at ways to think about this area where we described 00:46:55.320 --> 00:46:59.080 a golden thread, how we connect commercial areas and create 00:46:59.080 --> 00:47:02.560 a new boulevard that would become a spine within this development 00:47:02.800 --> 00:47:08.360 that could organize itself to connect to existing office areas 00:47:08.640 --> 00:47:10.160 as well as new spaces. 00:47:10.720 --> 00:47:14.720 Then we looked at what we called the emerald ribbon, borrowing 00:47:14.720 --> 00:47:19.560 from Olmsted who created the the emerald necklace concept in 00:47:19.560 --> 00:47:20.160 Boston. 00:47:20.560 --> 00:47:24.640 We looked at where open space exist in Nassau County and we looked 00:47:24.640 --> 00:47:30.520 at how to create a open space network that linked to existing 00:47:30.520 --> 00:47:32.920 spaces that ran through the project. 00:47:33.560 --> 00:47:37.200 And then we looked at how to connect to transit that we could introduce 00:47:37.240 --> 00:47:42.040 either a new light rail system or bus rapid transit that we connect 00:47:42.040 --> 00:47:46.880 the center to, to transit the transit network. 00:47:47.200 --> 00:47:51.040 And where it all came together, we called it Nassau Crossing. 00:47:51.800 --> 00:47:56.760 Now this is how we we looked at transit alternatives and we looked 00:47:56.760 --> 00:48:00.480 at redevelopment opportunities around each new station that 00:48:00.480 --> 00:48:05.400 would create and the city got a the county got a grant to take it 00:48:05.400 --> 00:48:08.480 a little further with an environmental impact statement. 00:48:08.960 --> 00:48:13.240 But it it it got stalled in with local politics. 00:48:13.680 --> 00:48:18.040 The County Executive went on to Congress, the new executive. 00:48:18.600 --> 00:48:19.960 This wasn't his baby. 00:48:19.960 --> 00:48:22.480 So it it never got any traction. 00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:26.480 Although today there's a lot of interest in some of these sites 00:48:26.480 --> 00:48:31.840 in terms of creating a more urban dense environment here. 00:48:35.320 --> 00:48:38.480 The the major redevelopment effort that we've been involved 00:48:38.480 --> 00:48:44.400 with in recent years in a similar way is in tyson 's corner in washington 00:48:44.440 --> 00:48:51.720 DC where we were instrumental in creating a a a plan for reconsidering 00:48:53.000 --> 00:49:00.360 tyson 's as an as an urban center and and this context the rail 00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:08.440 was happening regardless of our plan that the the lamada washington 00:49:08.440 --> 00:49:12.640 area metropolitan transportation authority decided they 00:49:12.640 --> 00:49:16.920 were going to extend the existing metro in in washington to dulles 00:49:16.920 --> 00:49:21.480 airport and running through tyson 's corner And tyson 's is an 00:49:21.480 --> 00:49:27.080 area that has been written about significantly since the sixties 00:49:27.080 --> 00:49:32.240 as in books about edge cities that are developing But it was really 00:49:32.240 --> 00:49:39.960 developing it much more as a in the suburban way with isolated 00:49:39.960 --> 00:49:46.560 offices isolated commercial malls and even the residential 00:49:46.560 --> 00:49:49.360 buildings that really weren't connected with one another. 00:49:49.720 --> 00:49:54.280 And the county Fairfield County Fairfax County decided that 00:49:55.040 --> 00:50:01.720 when the railroad connection was there they would impose restrictions 00:50:02.080 --> 00:50:05.360 to try to create a much more dense urban place. 00:50:05.720 --> 00:50:10.280 So we were asked to look at an area that was adjacent to what they 00:50:10.280 --> 00:50:13.000 call the Greensboro transit stop. 00:50:13.320 --> 00:50:17.040 And we're asked it's nearly twenty acres and we were asked to 00:50:17.040 --> 00:50:21.640 explore how to create a mixed use center here that could be integrated 00:50:21.720 --> 00:50:29.240 with the community especially as it that redefined So we developed 00:50:29.240 --> 00:50:33.880 a plan that introduced the Central green, looked for areas where 00:50:33.880 --> 00:50:38.240 we could create living environments that were connected with 00:50:38.240 --> 00:50:43.000 ground floor retail to create a new walkable retail street We 00:50:43.000 --> 00:50:47.440 looked at creating new office buildings that it could be immediately 00:50:47.440 --> 00:50:51.680 connected to the commuters commuter station and also looking 00:50:51.680 --> 00:50:55.280 at hotels and recreation centers that really would create a 00:50:55.280 --> 00:51:01.280 vibrant live work play environment. 00:51:03.800 --> 00:51:07.960 This is the final rendering much of the residential development 00:51:08.080 --> 00:51:12.200 has been built and and some of the office buildings and this is 00:51:12.200 --> 00:51:17.520 about seventy five percent complete today What was most interesting 00:51:17.520 --> 00:51:21.800 about it in terms of how we connected the existing office buildings 00:51:21.800 --> 00:51:25.880 which we preserved, a couple of them had a podium at an upper level 00:51:26.120 --> 00:51:30.560 that was at the same level as where the metro connected and where 00:51:30.560 --> 00:51:35.240 a bridge was coming across the street to connect to the site. 00:51:35.560 --> 00:51:40.360 So we introduced the idea of opening up this upper level and bring 00:51:40.640 --> 00:51:46.320 bring pedestrians through the office environment that would 00:51:46.320 --> 00:51:50.400 then link at the second level to the Newtown Square. 00:51:50.680 --> 00:51:54.240 But was interesting is the topography on the site was such that 00:51:54.240 --> 00:51:59.000 the site rose up towards the middle of the site. 00:51:59.240 --> 00:52:02.800 So that by the time the pedestrians were at the Newtown Green 00:52:02.800 --> 00:52:06.760 that we created, this was actually at grade. 00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:08.840 The town Green was at grade. 00:52:09.080 --> 00:52:13.440 This is a viewing center above the recreation space and then 00:52:13.440 --> 00:52:17.960 you can see down the street with the new retail street where they 00:52:17.960 --> 00:52:22.000 actually built a new the largest Whole Foods in the Northeast, 00:52:22.440 --> 00:52:27.120 A a market and and other retail that's really activated on the 00:52:27.120 --> 00:52:27.760 street. 00:52:29.400 --> 00:52:31.320 And this has gotten a lot of press. 00:52:31.960 --> 00:52:34.320 It's in the Washington Post. 00:52:34.320 --> 00:52:39.040 It's been called the first truly urban authentic development 00:52:39.360 --> 00:52:44.040 in tyson 's and there's been a number of articles about tyson 00:52:44.040 --> 00:52:48.680 's and other of these kind of suburban areas that are are being 00:52:48.680 --> 00:52:52.040 redefined where where there's been discussion of what does 00:52:52.280 --> 00:52:56.080 young people millennials young people what do they want and 00:52:56.080 --> 00:53:00.480 for the future and did they want to be in cities or suburbia And 00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:05.800 it's not so clear that I mean they they want some the the the findings 00:53:05.800 --> 00:53:11.080 are that they want some of what the urban cities provide but they 00:53:11.080 --> 00:53:14.440 also appreciative of some aspects of suburbia. 00:53:14.960 --> 00:53:24.600 So, So what we found is that that young people people in general 00:53:24.800 --> 00:53:26.520 want walkable environments. 00:53:26.960 --> 00:53:30.320 They want a sense of community. 00:53:31.720 --> 00:53:33.680 They want areas to be green. 00:53:34.400 --> 00:53:40.120 They want lively places and they want to be connected. 00:53:40.680 --> 00:53:47.160 And and so in our concept, it's not just about urban context, 00:53:47.440 --> 00:53:51.120 it's also about how to make those kinds of environments happen 00:53:51.120 --> 00:53:52.520 within the suburban realm. 00:53:53.040 --> 00:53:56.880 And that's been the focus in in tyson 's and also a number of our 00:53:56.880 --> 00:54:03.160 other projects throughout the northeast Now talk a little bit 00:54:03.160 --> 00:54:07.360 about how we approach planning and urban design. 00:54:08.560 --> 00:54:12.320 Most of you are probably not familiar with Yogi Berra, who is 00:54:12.320 --> 00:54:14.800 a famous baseball manager in New York. 00:54:14.800 --> 00:54:19.880 But he was also known for his his, his quips. 00:54:21.160 --> 00:54:25.320 And I call him baseball manager and urban theorist because he 00:54:25.320 --> 00:54:27.880 said you got to be careful if you don't know where you're going 00:54:28.160 --> 00:54:29.760 because you may not get there. 00:54:30.120 --> 00:54:34.760 And for me it's it's understanding, not the final project, but 00:54:34.760 --> 00:54:35.760 what do you need? 00:54:35.760 --> 00:54:37.360 Who do you need on your team? 00:54:38.040 --> 00:54:38.600 What? 00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:44.040 What's the focus that one would want in order to achieve positive 00:54:44.040 --> 00:54:47.240 results and that's often a starting point for me. 00:54:48.800 --> 00:54:55.600 We also the essence of our planning process is first of all how 00:54:56.000 --> 00:55:01.640 in in terms of under understanding the place is to start with 00:55:01.640 --> 00:55:06.680 a a sketch process to work in a interactively to define opportunities 00:55:06.680 --> 00:55:10.480 and constraints with regard to development and land use objectives, 00:55:10.800 --> 00:55:15.360 transportation systems, activity, nodes, open space and pedestrian 00:55:15.360 --> 00:55:19.320 linkages, connections and of course sustainability. 00:55:20.160 --> 00:55:24.640 And then it's not coming up with just one approach but to create 00:55:24.640 --> 00:55:30.160 a series of alternatives each with a different focus so that 00:55:30.160 --> 00:55:34.720 we can we can examine and and and talk about what each of these 00:55:34.760 --> 00:55:35.520 provides. 00:55:35.720 --> 00:55:39.760 And then often times we we bring them together as a in a single 00:55:39.760 --> 00:55:45.320 concept so that we're we're connecting the surroundings. 00:55:45.320 --> 00:55:49.240 And it's also key that we're responding to the three LS that I 00:55:49.240 --> 00:55:52.400 talked about earlier, listening, learning and leading. 00:55:53.560 --> 00:56:02.760 And then in the end, our plans are really about how to how to create 00:56:02.760 --> 00:56:06.480 plans, where the development objectives are defined, which 00:56:06.480 --> 00:56:11.560 respond to a vision of what should happen, but an appreciation 00:56:11.560 --> 00:56:15.440 that we're not necessarily going to be the design of every project 00:56:15.440 --> 00:56:17.600 in when you're the master planners. 00:56:17.920 --> 00:56:21.560 So there has to be an appreciation of how quality development 00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:25.920 can be made to happen and where. 00:56:25.920 --> 00:56:29.960 It's where the plan is immediately understood and understandable, 00:56:30.280 --> 00:56:36.840 and guidelines help developers create good environments that 00:56:36.840 --> 00:56:39.680 interact with one another in these plans. 00:56:40.640 --> 00:56:44.000 And then, as as far as my planning influences are concerned, 00:56:44.680 --> 00:56:50.880 in addition to Yogi Berra, one of them the key influences was 00:56:52.640 --> 00:56:59.440 Lewis Mumford, who in the book The City in History said that even 00:56:59.440 --> 00:57:03.440 before a city is a place of fixed residence, it begins as a meeting 00:57:03.440 --> 00:57:06.200 place to which people periodically return. 00:57:06.560 --> 00:57:10.120 The magnet comes before the containers and I would say that a 00:57:10.120 --> 00:57:16.120 lot of architects and designers don't appreciate or forget 00:57:16.120 --> 00:57:18.640 what are the magnets that are bringing people to a place. 00:57:18.640 --> 00:57:22.280 What is the main focus from an economic point of view and from 00:57:22.280 --> 00:57:23.840 a social point of view. 00:57:24.120 --> 00:57:28.400 And so for us, understanding those magnets is extremely important. 00:57:29.480 --> 00:57:34.760 Secondly, I know that Robert Moses deservedly has gotten a bad 00:57:34.760 --> 00:57:37.240 rapping in the last fifty years. 00:57:37.240 --> 00:57:43.840 But but for me it's it's important for designers and planners 00:57:44.160 --> 00:57:49.080 to to think big and and not to fear change. 00:57:49.400 --> 00:57:52.040 But it has to be balanced and it has to be balanced. 00:57:52.040 --> 00:57:54.280 This is him with Jane Jacobs. 00:57:54.600 --> 00:57:59.320 It has to be balanced by appreciation or understanding of community 00:57:59.320 --> 00:58:00.120 concerns. 00:58:02.200 --> 00:58:10.040 And finally, when I speak to my class at NYU who are aspiring 00:58:10.040 --> 00:58:15.520 developers, I, I, I, I use another quote from George Bernard 00:58:15.520 --> 00:58:16.040 Shaw. 00:58:16.480 --> 00:58:22.160 And he said you see things and say why, but I dreamed things that 00:58:22.160 --> 00:58:23.960 never were and say why not? 00:58:24.360 --> 00:58:30.960 And I talk about some of the developers going back hundreds of 00:58:30.960 --> 00:58:35.320 years in in the United States who had a vision for what a place 00:58:35.320 --> 00:58:40.680 could be from Rockefeller Center with JD Rockefeller with James 00:58:40.680 --> 00:58:45.880 Rouse at Faneuil Hall and other of the festival marketplaces, 00:58:46.720 --> 00:58:50.760 Robert Simon with Reston Town Center and William Zeckendorf, 00:58:51.040 --> 00:58:54.640 who would bring IM Pay into many of his development projects 00:58:54.640 --> 00:58:59.400 to create redevelopment, to redevelop many of the cities around 00:59:00.080 --> 00:59:01.040 North America. 00:59:01.360 --> 00:59:06.560 And then they're also developers today, Edgar Edgar Perry, 00:59:06.880 --> 00:59:10.200 who's been active in Atlanta looking at redevelopment sites 00:59:10.200 --> 00:59:15.680 about around rail tracks and and and rail stations and former 00:59:15.680 --> 00:59:16.880 industrial areas. 00:59:17.200 --> 00:59:21.840 And then you have in New York Mary Ann Kilmartin, who led the redevelopment 00:59:21.880 --> 00:59:24.320 of of Atlantic Yards. 00:59:24.640 --> 00:59:28.800 And I tell them that they need to have a vision themselves. 00:59:28.800 --> 00:59:32.960 They need to put a team together to help put forward those visions, 00:59:33.280 --> 00:59:35.200 but they can't be afraid to dream. 00:59:35.520 --> 00:59:40.680 And I think that's important in terms of making a future that 00:59:40.680 --> 00:59:42.400 will be better for all of us. 00:59:43.040 --> 00:59:59.860 So with that, thank you and gentlemen. 01:00:00.040 --> 01:00:05.520 To thank Professor Mark Strauss for this very interesting inspirational 01:00:05.760 --> 01:00:06.360 presentation. 01:00:06.360 --> 01:00:10.320 It's hard to say which one was more significant and interesting. 01:00:10.320 --> 01:00:16.360 I I believe we can we can say that both of them were equally important 01:00:16.640 --> 01:00:17.680 and inspirational. 01:00:17.680 --> 01:00:20.440 We still have some time before the coffee break. 01:00:20.680 --> 01:00:24.680 We'd like to thank speakers for sticking to time limits, but 01:00:24.680 --> 01:00:28.880 if you have any questions or comments today into these two presentations, 01:00:28.880 --> 01:00:31.800 I believe that we have those two minutes to go. 01:00:31.880 --> 01:00:33.280 So are there any questions or comments? 01:00:33.280 --> 01:00:34.920 Ladies and gentlemen, of course. 01:00:35.240 --> 01:00:38.480 Go ahead please. 01:00:38.600 --> 01:00:41.240 If you could introduce yourself and use the microphone. 01:00:41.600 --> 01:00:44.480 Everything is being recorded, so we would like to make it possible 01:00:44.480 --> 01:00:45.840 to identify the speakers. 01:00:46.240 --> 01:00:51.240 Take it easy and just wait before you start speaking and the mic 01:00:51.240 --> 01:00:52.120 gets activated. 01:00:54.400 --> 01:00:58.000 Thank you very much, Carlotta at ambush architectural faculty, 01:00:58.000 --> 01:00:59.200 that's University of Technology. 01:00:59.200 --> 01:01:04.640 I would like to thank both of the speakers I've known you because 01:01:04.640 --> 01:01:09.920 we've met within certain working sessions and we could see two 01:01:09.920 --> 01:01:13.560 different scales and approaches to shaping the environment 01:01:14.320 --> 01:01:14.960 in the city. 01:01:14.960 --> 01:01:21.800 And I would like to ask Deputy Mayor of the City of Nashville, 01:01:22.240 --> 01:01:28.280 like how would you comment to listening to those two presentations? 01:01:28.280 --> 01:01:32.880 Because the discussion about scale is very much present in our 01:01:32.880 --> 01:01:37.960 city and I rarely hear deputy Mayor. 01:01:37.960 --> 01:01:41.200 So I would like to invite you, David to mayor, if you could answer 01:01:42.040 --> 01:01:44.600 like Deputy Mayor of the City of nance could you please take the 01:01:44.600 --> 01:01:51.720 floor Now I think that we do have multiple opportunities to speak 01:01:51.800 --> 01:01:56.000 today at five thirty we are talking about the strategy of the 01:01:56.000 --> 01:01:59.760 city and about developmental strategies until twenty thirty 01:02:00.040 --> 01:02:03.120 Within this discussion, we will be sharing new priorities of 01:02:03.120 --> 01:02:03.840 the city. 01:02:04.200 --> 01:02:09.080 First and foremost, an important priority is greenery, and 01:02:10.560 --> 01:02:14.360 green productivity is a also part of the plan. 01:02:14.360 --> 01:02:16.880 So I'd like to invite you to join the meeting, Professor. 01:02:16.880 --> 01:02:22.080 But I believe that one quotation from the Bremen presentation 01:02:22.080 --> 01:02:23.680 is something to stay with us. 01:02:23.800 --> 01:02:31.600 We should never be afraid to rethink a new our approach and it 01:02:31.600 --> 01:02:35.760 is this very approach that we try to display here in the city. 01:02:36.040 --> 01:02:39.480 The discussion about urban planning, discussion about architecture 01:02:39.480 --> 01:02:42.040 is a never ending process. 01:02:42.040 --> 01:02:49.000 And as some values are also changing in our surroundings, 01:02:49.480 --> 01:02:55.560 there always has to be a discussion that starts with deciding 01:02:55.560 --> 01:02:59.680 on the core values that we will abide by. 01:02:59.680 --> 01:03:03.440 And I think that and hope that this conference will also be about 01:03:03.440 --> 01:03:07.200 of those values and about the directions in which our cities 01:03:07.680 --> 01:03:08.800 should develop. 01:03:08.800 --> 01:03:13.200 Of course, depending on geopolitical conditions, depending 01:03:13.200 --> 01:03:18.560 on the world specificity of a given place, we will develop the 01:03:18.560 --> 01:03:21.200 values and then we will shave. 01:03:21.200 --> 01:03:25.680 The city 's designing is on you urban planners Thank you very much. 01:03:28.280 --> 01:03:30.000 Thank you very much, mister Ma. 01:03:30.000 --> 01:03:34.840 And now ladies and gentlemen, I think that you've touched upon 01:03:34.840 --> 01:03:40.040 the defining values in planning and I believe that it is extremely 01:03:40.040 --> 01:03:40.920 significant. 01:03:41.680 --> 01:03:45.240 I think that we discuss on the values in late modernism and then 01:03:45.240 --> 01:03:51.720 we lived in the time where actually a planning act would focus 01:03:51.720 --> 01:03:56.560 mostly on procedural aspects but not so much on values. 01:03:56.560 --> 01:04:00.320 Now we are returning to discussing values and as mister Mayor 01:04:00.320 --> 01:04:04.000 mentioned is both at the level of the city strategy and planning 01:04:04.000 --> 01:04:04.600 documents. 01:04:04.600 --> 01:04:09.880 I'm very happy that this is the case and I believe that from both 01:04:09.880 --> 01:04:14.000 of these presentations in the context not just Daisk but also 01:04:14.000 --> 01:04:16.880 representatives of other cities represented here in the room, 01:04:16.880 --> 01:04:18.920 we will be able to to benefit. 01:04:19.440 --> 01:04:24.600 It's eleven sharp so I would like to invite you to take a coffee 01:04:24.600 --> 01:04:25.120 break. 01:04:25.440 --> 01:04:31.200 I would like to encourage you to look at the the plans and to walk 01:04:31.200 --> 01:04:31.920 about the building. 01:04:31.920 --> 01:04:37.720 It is also possible to get our albums on Lance Architecture over 01:04:37.720 --> 01:04:39.000 the last five years. 01:04:39.360 --> 01:04:40.800 They are there for you. 01:04:41.200 --> 01:04:45.040 You can take the albums and thank you very much. 01:04:45.200 --> 01:04:46.440 Enjoy the coffee break.
