WEBVTT

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:19.000
I was asked to be here on the stage because of the camera and I would

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:23.760
like then those who will answer the question from the auditorium

00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:27.960
to follow me here on the stage.

00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:36.600
Today afternoon, we will again travel around the world, collecting

00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:43.960
the experiences from the practices in the implementation of

00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:48.560
different approaches and measures, the urban transformation.

00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:56.680
We will start in London and finish on the other side of the Europe,

00:00:57.040 --> 00:01:01.320
in Turkey, in Turkey now.

00:01:02.120 --> 00:01:08.240
So please, we will start with the first presentation with this,

00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:13.000
which is about climate change and social cohesion is catalyzed

00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:16.480
for changes in development plans and special order.

00:01:17.360 --> 00:01:21.600
And this voice will be from London, been presented in person

00:01:21.880 --> 00:01:24.640
here by the colleague Anushka Zimnitska.

00:01:25.160 --> 00:01:26.560
So please, the floor is yours.

00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:27.640
Can you hear me?

00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:31.400
Good afternoon.

00:01:31.440 --> 00:01:36.680
I'm Anushka Zimnitska and I came to you from London.

00:01:42.530 --> 00:01:48.410
I work at the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and my responsibility

00:01:48.410 --> 00:01:53.170
and capacities there is that show manager.

00:01:53.450 --> 00:01:59.410
But owing to the invitation of our colleagues from here, I also

00:01:59.410 --> 00:02:05.120
teach at the Glance University of Technology at the Faculty

00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.960
of Architecture, and I would like to guide you through the topic

00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:14.040
of climate change and first and foremost, its impact on social

00:02:14.040 --> 00:02:14.600
cohesion.

00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:22.200
I will illustrate it with my neighborhood that is Tower Hamlets.

00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:29.000
This is the plan of London Borough of Tower Hamlets, and you can

00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.520
see it in the middle that's been adopted in twenty twenty one

00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:37.480
You can see the growth areas, those colorful ones, mostly going

00:02:37.480 --> 00:02:40.760
along the transportation corridors.

00:02:40.760 --> 00:02:43.520
And they are of course related to infrastructural projects

00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:45.040
that are in the pipeline.

00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:51.760
And I'm going to boast because a few months ago the biggest infrastructural

00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:56.840
investment of the last decade in London came to a successful

00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:57.480
fruition.

00:02:57.480 --> 00:03:01.600
That's the so called elizabeth 's line that is a railway line

00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:10.040
that cuts through london and that connects also the adjacent

00:03:10.040 --> 00:03:17.480
neighbourhoods on both sides This investment was initiated

00:03:17.760 --> 00:03:21.320
in terms of its physical, physical.

00:03:21.320 --> 00:03:22.720
It's a starting point.

00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:26.640
It started in Tower Hamlets within the new station at Canary

00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:27.920
Wharf was built.

00:03:27.920 --> 00:03:29.960
You can see the image of it on the right hand side.

00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:33.760
That's a new station, multifunctional one not just with a commercial

00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:37.120
function but also with the one of a public park.

00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:44.680
And this investment, it used to be called Crossrail, contributed

00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:51.920
to the changes in the structure of central London infrastructure.

00:03:51.920 --> 00:03:56.400
Mostly because forty two kilometers of this line are situated

00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:02.520
underground, ten new stations were built, but also old stations

00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:04.120
underwent modernizing.

00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:09.280
For example, Tottenham Court Road is in an instance here an example.

00:04:09.600 --> 00:04:13.080
It's was endowed with a new image.

00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.040
It has become far more ergonomic.

00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:20.440
But also this investment was connected with the regeneration

00:04:20.440 --> 00:04:23.720
and RE construction of the whole neighborhood of the station

00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:25.480
Hamlets.

00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:31.880
Hamlets is a lucky owner now of three such stations of this

00:04:32.840 --> 00:04:36.400
railway that is highly efficient.

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:43.560
In the Liverpool Street you've got one such stations.

00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.280
There are two other locations where Chapel and Canary Wharf.

00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:52.240
This is why we have the three stations that play a major role related

00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:59.600
to social integration and building the the social inequalities.

00:04:59.880 --> 00:05:04.160
Now at the top left and corner you can see White Chapel station

00:05:04.960 --> 00:05:07.600
in the social and economic infrastructure.

00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:13.480
We are dealing here with a patchwork area area in which affluent

00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.720
areas interwoven into the Tashia.

00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:25.360
Very poor ones, very often, they knew replaces the traditional

00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:31.400
for example, the market, white Chapel, the local community,

00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:37.520
mostly coming from Bangladesh, trades and everything.

00:05:37.840 --> 00:05:42.520
That's one of the most colourful spots on the map of London.

00:05:42.520 --> 00:05:46.480
On the other hand, we've got the Canary Wharf station.

00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:54.120
It is located in the northern part of this district and as you

00:05:54.120 --> 00:06:02.280
can see, there is a chance for investment activities after Elizabeth

00:06:02.280 --> 00:06:09.000
Lyon has been completed to bring about positive changes that

00:06:09.080 --> 00:06:13.400
the inhabitants of the northern part can benefit from South.

00:06:14.440 --> 00:06:19.240
These differences are not just the differences between poverty,

00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:25.240
new opportunities and the rich ones, but it's also about actually

00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:26.280
ability to survive.

00:06:26.280 --> 00:06:29.680
What you can see here is a juxtaposition of the map poverty.

00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:35.280
The darker the colour, the more issues a given area suffers.

00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:43.600
And the right hand side map shows the deaths I need to the COVID

00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:44.240
pandemic.

00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:48.960
So it's not just about well being but it's also about the ability

00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:56.120
to survive In what way can this kind of an investment be tarnished

00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:00.160
and returned into something really beneficial?

00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:06.040
When the spatial restructuring took place around the stations.

00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:09.160
Also, a number of new public spaces were created, available

00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:09.960
to everybody.

00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:15.840
They also enrich the urban developments around it.

00:07:15.840 --> 00:07:20.600
You can see the Exchange Square next to Liverpool Street, but

00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:25.680
even more importantly, owing to those fast rail connections

00:07:26.440 --> 00:07:31.360
with various parts of the city, the neighborhood, that White

00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:39.160
Chapel district itself also got a bank investment bust.

00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.480
We as the office changed our seat.

00:07:43.280 --> 00:07:51.320
We are now located in a renovated hospital from the nineteenth

00:07:51.320 --> 00:07:51.920
century.

00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:58.400
We carry out a number of tasks whose goal is to improve the public

00:07:58.400 --> 00:07:58.920
space.

00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:04.200
There is a medical cluster of the hospital that I mentioned and

00:08:04.200 --> 00:08:08.640
also medical and research faculty of the Queen Mary University

00:08:08.640 --> 00:08:09.400
at Whitechapel.

00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:19.400
And on this basis the Center of Life Sciences is now being built.

00:08:19.400 --> 00:08:25.720
What is also planned and actually the first common stone was

00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:31.760
already placed in the ground for further developments around

00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:37.160
so as to increase the educational opportunities and giving

00:08:38.520 --> 00:08:43.400
access to the opportunities and education to the children of

00:08:43.400 --> 00:08:44.440
the migrants.

00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.520
They can now be hopeful of having an easy life of their parents.

00:08:48.920 --> 00:08:52.800
So this is Elizabeth line actually all the investors around

00:08:52.800 --> 00:08:54.240
London chipped in.

00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.160
There was a financing instrument that was called Community

00:08:58.160 --> 00:08:59.120
Infrastructure Levy.

00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:05.600
The Mayor of London taxed all the investments everyday.

00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:11.480
Local tax and it's height depended on the location, so on how

00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:16.760
far away you are from Crosswale impact, so from Elizabeth Lane.

00:09:16.760 --> 00:09:22.840
But also the tax depended on on the size, the curvature of those

00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:24.720
new investments is how they're going to be used.

00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:29.120
Another example is a different infrastructure investment,

00:09:30.680 --> 00:09:37.640
one that was completed two years ago and it was an extension of

00:09:37.640 --> 00:09:40.520
the Northern Line underground line.

00:09:41.160 --> 00:09:42.600
two new stations were added.

00:09:43.560 --> 00:09:48.520
These stations were American Embassy is located at one of them

00:09:48.520 --> 00:09:55.640
and also the very famous Battersea Palace station building

00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.280
was also renovated.

00:09:58.280 --> 00:10:03.280
So they became the drivers for the regeneration of post industrial

00:10:03.280 --> 00:10:13.080
areas in Vauxhall, Nanos and Battersea areas due to the high

00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:17.880
costs of rejuvenation of historic buildings and over two hundred

00:10:17.880 --> 00:10:22.800
and fifty million of developers contribution into the extension

00:10:22.800 --> 00:10:32.880
of the new underground line The entire area and it's magnitude

00:10:32.880 --> 00:10:37.160
of twenty thousand new residential spacious twenty thousand

00:10:37.160 --> 00:10:43.240
new jobs and new cultural centres and so on and so forth ensures

00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:48.120
now just nine percent of the so called accessible flats So those

00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:51.520
potentially accessible to an average Londoner.

00:10:52.800 --> 00:10:57.960
So they come together with their sold or leased out in the market

00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:00.800
at the price that is lower than the market one and that's owing

00:11:00.800 --> 00:11:02.080
to the governmental grants.

00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:06.920
nine percent is relatively little very little which makes this

00:11:06.920 --> 00:11:15.240
area a rather posh one as is exclusive And you can see that, well,

00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:18.160
it can be painfully exclusive.

00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:22.560
As I mentioned the luxury and actually excessive luxury.

00:11:22.560 --> 00:11:28.760
You can see a swimming pool suspended between two skyscrapers.

00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:39.360
As for the public areas, this developer is doing a lot to activate

00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.520
them and to make them available to any inhabitant.

00:11:43.520 --> 00:11:47.960
But actually this is an area that is completely new in the structure

00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:54.960
of the city, both in terms of the new buildings and and socially.

00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:59.600
This is an area that is isolated, socially isolated.

00:12:01.800 --> 00:12:06.000
In other words, the properties here belong to millionaires only.

00:12:09.800 --> 00:12:17.520
The areas that London has not recognized as those of intensive

00:12:17.520 --> 00:12:22.760
development are those of modernist housing estates, Of course,

00:12:23.760 --> 00:12:33.080
following the raids of London, or they experienced a housing

00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:33.560
boom.

00:12:33.560 --> 00:12:41.160
And in tan Hamlets we've got one of the biggest, greatest density

00:12:41.160 --> 00:12:45.480
of such housing estates that were built with social residents

00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:46.040
in mind.

00:12:46.040 --> 00:12:48.440
So we've got social flats there.

00:12:49.280 --> 00:12:53.200
Some of them were bought out after Mother Touches revolution

00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:58.080
in the eighties of the twentieth century and these housing estates

00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:01.280
are coming to an end of their existence.

00:13:05.400 --> 00:13:12.400
Of course, activities and measures are taken to modernize the

00:13:12.400 --> 00:13:17.360
infrastructure of some insulation extensions filling the

00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:19.360
the gaps and so on.

00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:25.840
But undoubtedly some of these housing estates are awaiting

00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:32.240
a big decision on them being built anew.

00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:37.040
Actually, there is a painful regeneration lesson and that is

00:13:37.040 --> 00:13:44.960
the one of Hager estate that regeneration was supposed to be

00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:47.440
supported with the invisible hand of the market.

00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:53.160
As a result of that, actually none of the families that had spot

00:13:53.160 --> 00:14:02.280
out their floods found another flat, even in the vicinity of

00:14:02.280 --> 00:14:04.480
the Suffolk district where it all happened.

00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:11.600
As for the tenants or local governments will need to find

00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:16.160
social flats for the inhabitants, but well, so here the situation

00:14:16.160 --> 00:14:17.080
is slightly better.

00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:22.480
But again, I've heard that really there are a few people who moved

00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:24.800
back, so they moved out and never returned.

00:14:24.800 --> 00:14:31.000
And actually this regeneration process wasn't a way, a way to

00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:36.120
actually will gentrify the area and that was a cleansing in a

00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:37.040
in a way.

00:14:37.280 --> 00:14:42.480
And the first stage of this regeneration at the in the area, one

00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:47.840
hundred percent of private flats were sold not for to londoners

00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:55.200
but to those living in the far east So oftentimes the

00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:56.600
completely different continent.

00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:01.080
The first phase, sixteen percent of the flats built were social

00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:07.240
ones That was increased by Suffolk local government that draw

00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:09.920
a lesson from the first phase.

00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:11.800
That was quite a painful lesson.

00:15:12.160 --> 00:15:16.680
So further generation stages were carried out with a greater

00:15:16.680 --> 00:15:18.520
emphasis on social benefits.

00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:25.320
Benefits for social for for local communities and the share

00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:30.240
of accessible flats was increased, now reaching twenty five

00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:35.360
percent That was the very first experience.

00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:39.560
It had a broad coverage and it was pretty shocking for Londoners.

00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:47.960
So town Hamlets definitely drew conclusions, and when we're

00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:56.960
generating the first housing estate, attempts were made to

00:15:57.760 --> 00:15:58.840
have it listed.

00:15:59.040 --> 00:16:02.560
I'm talking about Robin Hood Gardens, the Bridge list monument.

00:16:02.560 --> 00:16:06.640
So to be found, those attempts to have it listed failed.

00:16:06.640 --> 00:16:14.800
So it's visually attractive, but still it did not work as a social

00:16:16.040 --> 00:16:17.240
unit, so to speak.

00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:23.200
And hear the local government decided to run an investment.

00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:34.000
A developer has been appointed and every owner flat owner has

00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:42.880
a right for the value of their apartment to be counted as the

00:16:42.880 --> 00:16:45.720
initial payment for the modernized flat.

00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:51.200
And they get a a bonus for every year of actually staying in the

00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:56.280
flat, which means that after ten years they can become owners.

00:16:56.720 --> 00:17:01.480
And so these conditions are really favourable and any regeneration

00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:10.160
of households is related to an increasing density of the developments.

00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:14.600
There is also a big revolution in approaching regeneration

00:17:14.600 --> 00:17:19.720
of housing estates that resulted from an ordinance of a Mayor

00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:22.840
of London who said that without a referendum covering all the

00:17:22.840 --> 00:17:28.280
inhabitants with owners or tenants of flats in such households,

00:17:28.560 --> 00:17:35.280
and without their consent to such a total regeneration, no measures

00:17:35.280 --> 00:17:38.440
can be taken and first they should be given an offer that they

00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:39.360
could vote on.

00:17:40.600 --> 00:17:44.680
So it became clear that otherwise the such regeneration programmes

00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:47.800
would not be supported from public resources.

00:17:48.080 --> 00:17:52.440
So the Hamlets, unfortunately again the microphone is dead

00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:55.640
as it appears, so we cannot hear the speaker in the booth.

00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:10.680
The mic is on again.

00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:11.400
So we're back.

00:18:15.800 --> 00:18:21.360
Over the last five years we've had five such referendums carried

00:18:21.360 --> 00:18:28.800
out and these requirements are stipulated by the Mayor and his

00:18:28.800 --> 00:18:33.440
ordinance mean that all the examples you can see by the way, all

00:18:33.800 --> 00:18:39.080
being those from Tower Hamlet are related with to Co designing.

00:18:39.080 --> 00:18:42.920
So even prior to the referendum, the inhabitants are invited

00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:49.600
to have their say to say and what they get as an offer is actually

00:18:49.600 --> 00:18:55.280
a result of common work with them that precedes the referendum.

00:18:55.720 --> 00:19:05.880
Those new programs finish on three five or ten fold increase

00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:13.560
in the density so even ten times as many inhabitants live in the

00:19:13.560 --> 00:19:18.160
area which means that of course high story buildings have to

00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:25.080
be erected in our hamlets We've had a longer record of of building

00:19:25.080 --> 00:19:27.320
and living in such buildings.

00:19:28.280 --> 00:19:33.240
So we prepared an additional planning document concerning

00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:39.440
the designing of the residential high raised buildings and

00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:45.640
we've prepared it on the basis of a two year process of exploring

00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:54.400
and serving the opinion of the long term inhabitants of the buildings

00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:55.160
of this kind.

00:19:55.760 --> 00:19:59.040
Another thing, and I'm getting to an end, are publicly available

00:19:59.040 --> 00:19:59.640
spaces.

00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:03.040
Spaces for everybody where people can join and integrate within.

00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:07.600
And the forerunner here was the City of London, that in its plan

00:20:08.760 --> 00:20:14.160
in I believe two thousand and fifteen introduced a requirement

00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:18.280
to all non residential investors and there are the majority

00:20:18.280 --> 00:20:22.560
in the city of london The ground floors and roofs should be open

00:20:22.560 --> 00:20:26.960
to the general public, so they should be made generally available.

00:20:30.360 --> 00:20:35.880
Consume more and more buildings really offer some services

00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:38.360
in the ground, for there are more and more terraces.

00:20:38.360 --> 00:20:41.960
Actually, practically speaking, any new building has a terrace

00:20:42.600 --> 00:20:48.320
that is then made available to anybody and the pandemic has shown

00:20:48.320 --> 00:20:53.280
how important those public spaces were and how important this

00:20:53.280 --> 00:20:55.360
activity our outdoors is.

00:20:56.080 --> 00:21:02.520
So all of a sudden our East End shabby Sheikh, that is this kind

00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:08.880
of artistic chaos related with colour and temporary establishments

00:21:09.120 --> 00:21:11.080
have become commonplace.

00:21:11.080 --> 00:21:13.800
You see there is a drawing lesson outdoors.

00:21:13.800 --> 00:21:20.240
We've got colours closing the streets with with some artifacts

00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:24.080
that are maybe not top dodge but well they're handmade and this

00:21:24.080 --> 00:21:26.480
is something that has spread over London.

00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:31.000
And then finally on climate changes, well obviously in such

00:21:31.040 --> 00:21:38.320
a big city we talk about overheating and we talk about managing

00:21:38.760 --> 00:21:41.640
rainwater, we talk about counteracting floods.

00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:50.720
There are measures envisaged in plans, but our Hamlets is one

00:21:50.800 --> 00:22:03.480
of the pilot districts for integrated programs of water management

00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:06.960
infrastructure extension in the spirit of net zero.

00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:13.440
So how to get to us becoming like carbon neutral commune and regaining

00:22:14.800 --> 00:22:21.440
the areas for nature has become maybe not something that is

00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:24.800
really frequent, but there are some examples where we have a

00:22:24.840 --> 00:22:29.400
river that used to be managed in human control.

00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:33.760
It has become open that resulted in a greater biodiversity.

00:22:33.760 --> 00:22:37.280
It is also possible to retain possible floods.

00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:39.440
And here are Olympic areas.

00:22:40.280 --> 00:22:45.080
This is also partially an area belonging to Tower Hamlets.

00:22:45.080 --> 00:22:46.600
It's also Olympic areas.

00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:52.480
Investments related to the Olympic Games have created an opportunity

00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:57.720
for some of the area to be regained for nature.

00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:00.480
It used to be heavily industrialized.

00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:03.840
You can see those green air, green pictures and well they they

00:23:03.840 --> 00:23:07.600
they show London and there's not provincial London and some

00:23:07.600 --> 00:23:07.800
up.

00:23:07.800 --> 00:23:12.440
I'd say that well a lot is being said about what we've been doing

00:23:13.840 --> 00:23:15.400
in terms of new investments.

00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:24.360
So we are planning what they should be like, but the climatic

00:23:24.360 --> 00:23:27.480
goals cannot be obtained by means of new investments only There,

00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:33.880
there have to be measures that will entice or even force the existing

00:23:34.760 --> 00:23:43.360
owners, property owners, to modernize their properties and

00:23:43.360 --> 00:23:45.960
to reintroduce nature in their areas.

00:23:46.760 --> 00:23:54.560
Now we are trying to implement that terms two thousand and one

00:23:54.560 --> 00:24:01.520
hundred program that focuses on anti flood measures in the

00:24:01.520 --> 00:24:09.320
terms estuary and this is something that is voluntary And as

00:24:09.320 --> 00:24:15.280
you can imagine, we are still not ready to take what the future

00:24:15.280 --> 00:24:16.960
holds in terms of water in the city.

00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:19.440
Thank you very much, Chenko.

00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:24.320
Embarazonishka, thank you very much.

00:24:24.760 --> 00:24:30.080
Ground in London and the second underground in Europe was in Budapest.

00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:35.040
So I am very happy to continue with the second presentation from

00:24:35.040 --> 00:24:37.000
Budapest and Zoltan is here.

00:24:37.280 --> 00:24:42.440
So Tashik Baranchal, thank you very much for being here and I

00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:47.040
am very glad that we have professional friends and professional

00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:48.720
audience here.

00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:56.320
I try to explain few facts and a few stories about Budapest brownfield

00:24:56.360 --> 00:24:56.840
areas.

00:24:57.760 --> 00:25:02.520
Normally we think that the brownfield areas are the gold reserve

00:25:02.600 --> 00:25:04.240
of a city.

00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:10.080
They are the gold reserve of a a strongly built in and densely

00:25:10.080 --> 00:25:14.360
built in area when we are looking for new places.

00:25:16.840 --> 00:25:24.960
Now I have to show the map of Budapest and I have to refer some figures.

00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:30.480
Budapest is was two millions in the eighties now it is one point

00:25:30.520 --> 00:25:35.160
eight millions two hundred thousand people were lost from the

00:25:35.160 --> 00:25:40.720
city from from inside the city but they appeared in the outskirts

00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:46.160
So let's say that the agglomeration of Budapest has a figure

00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:49.000
of two and a half million, and it is a stable one.

00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:54.960
But in the future we are thinking that we have to fight against

00:25:55.040 --> 00:26:02.080
the communication and the and the the everyday congestion on

00:26:02.080 --> 00:26:06.040
the roads and on the trains approaching the city.

00:26:06.560 --> 00:26:15.560
So we try to offer some so called dense structure with

00:26:15.600 --> 00:26:21.200
the provision of new land for developments within the city On

00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:25.840
the picture you see the brownfield areas around that we have

00:26:25.840 --> 00:26:32.720
got from the so called socialism In nineteen ninety a lot of these

00:26:32.760 --> 00:26:38.560
industrial areas and railway areas were run down Not only railway

00:26:38.560 --> 00:26:43.800
but we had two army barrack system, the Hungarian and the Russian,

00:26:45.280 --> 00:26:53.080
that were left after nineteen ninety So we have got a series of

00:26:53.080 --> 00:27:00.440
brownfields, but only those who had better positions.

00:27:00.840 --> 00:27:05.600
For example at the Danube Bank, for example, on the Buddha side

00:27:05.720 --> 00:27:10.920
where we have historically more prestigious residential RS

00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:16.840
They have developed, They had the force, they had the the engine

00:27:17.280 --> 00:27:23.160
to go on and to develop themselves and to provide high quality

00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:29.600
RS For example, this is a a park area in the middle of Buddha.

00:27:30.080 --> 00:27:38.360
This is an office area, but very, very high tech office series

00:27:38.360 --> 00:27:41.080
we had at the gas factory of UDA.

00:27:41.840 --> 00:27:49.080
This is a newly built area and this is a ladder factory renewed

00:27:49.280 --> 00:27:50.840
in the positive way.

00:27:51.320 --> 00:27:54.720
So these are the success stories, but I don't want to speak about

00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:55.040
them.

00:27:56.680 --> 00:28:01.280
I am interested much more about those who are not running, who

00:28:01.280 --> 00:28:05.920
are stalled a little bit and who are or future task.

00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:13.160
For example, one of our gold reserve number one is called Rakash

00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:14.880
and there's a marshalling yard.

00:28:15.280 --> 00:28:20.520
Originally that was a huge marshalling yard for the state railways

00:28:20.840 --> 00:28:21.800
on this area.

00:28:22.520 --> 00:28:24.480
They have already got the tracks.

00:28:24.760 --> 00:28:26.880
We have these tracks but they are empty.

00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:33.440
One track is only working over there or or two tracks and it is

00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:35.240
quite close to the city centre.

00:28:35.520 --> 00:28:42.880
So we hope that it is a very well operable development area.

00:28:43.640 --> 00:28:47.560
At the moment it is in the state, it is in the hand of the state,

00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:51.320
so fortunately it is not privatised yet.

00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:56.040
What we need to have a kind of master plan.

00:28:56.040 --> 00:29:02.440
What we need to have a common knowledge about the future of this era.

00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:04.280
What do we want to do with this?

00:29:05.320 --> 00:29:12.560
First of all, we have to to to develop the public transport system.

00:29:12.600 --> 00:29:20.080
This is the elongation of the second underground underworld,

00:29:21.360 --> 00:29:25.280
this metro number one of Budapest.

00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:30.920
But we have a news railway station over this point which is going

00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:33.000
to be the heart of a new town.

00:29:33.600 --> 00:29:37.400
Whether it will look like this or not, I don't know, because at

00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:41.320
the moment nobody plans it.

00:29:41.360 --> 00:29:48.200
This is a plan of a state agency that owned the area, so it is

00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:49.360
only a proposition.

00:29:49.520 --> 00:29:52.120
The question is who will do what?

00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:58.800
What will be made before the the new railway lines, the new tram

00:29:58.800 --> 00:30:00.760
lines and the new infrastructure?

00:30:01.120 --> 00:30:05.320
Or we shall go ahead with a certain project?

00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:10.720
We have another interesting and very close area to the city centre.

00:30:11.360 --> 00:30:18.640
That's the so called cubano street which is originally a railway

00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:23.840
factory on this area railway workshop on this area and the railway

00:30:23.840 --> 00:30:31.280
station on this area The story is that this part of the site is

00:30:31.280 --> 00:30:33.200
in the hand of the Hungarian state.

00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:39.680
So we can do something with this because because it is quite obviously

00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:45.600
can be used on this area which was the so called gunsmart factory

00:30:45.600 --> 00:30:50.280
Perhaps some of them knows the products on the railway tracks.

00:30:51.280 --> 00:30:57.200
That was a very famous and A and a fantastic factory not working

00:30:57.200 --> 00:30:57.760
today.

00:30:58.160 --> 00:31:04.200
It has more than three hundred owners most of them chinese who

00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:10.480
owns this area and used as a commercial area The railway station

00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:19.520
itself was altered to be a memorial for the Jewish Holocaust.

00:31:19.520 --> 00:31:23.400
So this is a a kind of museum building.

00:31:24.560 --> 00:31:30.320
On this area the state agency proposed a residential area, while

00:31:31.080 --> 00:31:36.480
along the street we have offices and here we have a so called football

00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:40.640
academy which is a very popular thing at the moment in hungary

00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:46.160
Although the result of the education is not always visible on

00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:54.120
the matches, but but that that, that can be a nice final product

00:31:54.120 --> 00:31:55.080
of the development.

00:31:57.360 --> 00:32:02.120
Perhaps we we don't like this green colouring because it is only

00:32:02.120 --> 00:32:08.040
plastic so it has no biological value this area, but in general

00:32:08.360 --> 00:32:16.960
that can be a good future vision for the area if we want it is

00:32:17.120 --> 00:32:22.360
it is this master plan is designed with blue and green infrastructure

00:32:22.760 --> 00:32:29.240
and I think that they are on a high level what we have already done

00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:33.960
and it is on the other part of the of the road at the railway workshop.

00:32:34.360 --> 00:32:42.560
This is one of the original buildings kept as a cultural centre,

00:32:43.040 --> 00:32:47.760
so called workshop house of the national opera with some stage

00:32:47.760 --> 00:32:55.480
and and auditorium with workshops for for ropes and sceneries

00:32:55.480 --> 00:32:59.320
and everything that is needed in the opera and even even with

00:32:59.320 --> 00:33:05.440
some remembrance of the of the railway industry But in the neighbourhood

00:33:05.760 --> 00:33:07.800
it is a new proposition.

00:33:08.040 --> 00:33:13.400
The so called diesel hall which can be seen here will be the new

00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:18.120
place for the museum of transport because the museum of transport

00:33:18.120 --> 00:33:24.200
was a small one in a in the city park and we are very happy that it

00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:30.320
wants to come over here There was an international competition

00:33:30.600 --> 00:33:35.840
won by the New York Builders, Scofidio and Renfro Company and

00:33:35.840 --> 00:33:36.320
Davis.

00:33:36.320 --> 00:33:44.680
The Hungarian team have made projects for the new place, but

00:33:45.040 --> 00:33:50.040
on the other side that I have shown you about the railway factory,

00:33:50.560 --> 00:33:53.560
we have still these conditions.

00:33:55.080 --> 00:33:59.880
You can imagine this was made in the years two thousand which

00:33:59.880 --> 00:34:01.880
is quite a strange picture.

00:34:02.320 --> 00:34:07.360
There's the Chinese market on the street, Chinese market everywhere

00:34:07.360 --> 00:34:13.720
in the in the buildings and the white truck is the the phenomenon

00:34:13.720 --> 00:34:17.680
that there's no, no signage, no inscription.

00:34:17.680 --> 00:34:18.480
What is this?

00:34:18.760 --> 00:34:22.720
They are bringing and taking different goods.

00:34:23.240 --> 00:34:26.040
You can buy everything and everything a lot.

00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:31.240
So if you have buy two pairs of socks, it is a lot and it is it is cheaper.

00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:39.000
The third very interesting and positive area is at the South

00:34:39.720 --> 00:34:41.000
gate of the city.

00:34:41.920 --> 00:34:47.320
This is Chapel Island and this is a branch of the Danube which

00:34:47.320 --> 00:34:55.680
is fortunately logged by guarded by two locks here and on the

00:34:55.680 --> 00:34:56.000
South.

00:34:56.560 --> 00:35:01.960
So this water level doesn't take the the tide and the and the flood

00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:02.800
of the Danube.

00:35:03.320 --> 00:35:12.520
So quite a new so called students district can be constructed

00:35:12.520 --> 00:35:17.200
here And this was made the master plan by Snohatad in Norwegian

00:35:17.200 --> 00:35:21.080
Austrian company together with Hungarian France.

00:35:21.600 --> 00:35:27.400
And I think that at the very moment this is one of the most contemporary

00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:33.400
and and the best ideal urban pattern which is planned to Budapest.

00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:39.040
But I have to tell you that I don't know who will work on here because

00:35:39.040 --> 00:35:42.680
it was once again a state project and the state project at the

00:35:42.680 --> 00:35:48.080
very moment is abandoned because because of lack of of financial

00:35:48.080 --> 00:35:48.840
sources.

00:35:50.720 --> 00:35:55.560
We were just discussing about the fracturing of the government

00:35:55.560 --> 00:35:58.480
levels in Budapest.

00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:03.040
It works like this that I am responsible for the Budapest structural

00:36:03.040 --> 00:36:03.560
plan.

00:36:03.880 --> 00:36:06.680
This is the general plan for the whole city.

00:36:07.240 --> 00:36:11.960
I have twenty three colleagues in the district who are responsible

00:36:11.960 --> 00:36:14.840
for the district building code, absolutely independent from

00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:15.240
me.

00:36:15.600 --> 00:36:21.320
But of course they have to to be in the framework of the general

00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:22.120
structural plan.

00:36:22.560 --> 00:36:28.000
So what I feel that it is quite a good system that the top down ideas

00:36:28.360 --> 00:36:32.120
are coming from the central municipality of Budapest, but they

00:36:32.120 --> 00:36:37.680
are always filled up with bottom up ideas and bottom up opportunities

00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:41.400
and the presence of the colleagues on the field.

00:36:42.040 --> 00:36:46.200
Unfortunately, sometimes we have exceptional decrees.

00:36:46.200 --> 00:36:53.960
The government decrease is is born in in two days and you read

00:36:53.960 --> 00:37:00.560
in the in the official paper that it is not necessary to take into

00:37:00.560 --> 00:37:06.480
consideration the the local governments plans and development

00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:13.080
ideas because it will work on a on a special road So that's why

00:37:13.080 --> 00:37:17.920
we are afraid a little bit to lose our beloved city scape into

00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:20.000
something different.

00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:26.840
But there is a lot to speak about all the system and that's why

00:37:26.840 --> 00:37:32.520
I was interested in the morning to hear about the fragmentation

00:37:32.520 --> 00:37:33.880
of Europe or not.

00:37:35.200 --> 00:37:39.680
What we have that we have the new stadium for the that was the athletic

00:37:40.080 --> 00:37:42.720
World championship in the summer, the Budapest.

00:37:42.720 --> 00:37:50.120
So that's what what has has been made on the side of the Brownfield

00:37:50.120 --> 00:37:54.480
RS Thank you very much for your attention.

00:37:55.040 --> 00:37:59.880
I simply wanted to summarise a little bit the possibilities

00:37:59.880 --> 00:38:04.280
of these areas and to show out that they are in the pipeline.

00:38:04.520 --> 00:38:13.320
But we still need ideas and still need important decisions to

00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:16.040
have a proper approach towards them.

00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:17.200
Thank you very much.

00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:46.280
Thank you very much, Sultan.

00:38:51.560 --> 00:38:52.240
Call a nega.

00:38:52.240 --> 00:39:07.840
Move to Edmond Manajasa.

00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:23.640
Edmond Manajasa, Professor lorenzo 's the presenter Vanya

00:39:23.640 --> 00:39:44.000
Visi doctor Novel And then

00:39:44.760 --> 00:39:49.320
too much the the proposed it's your Money Stitch next to the bullet

00:39:49.320 --> 00:39:55.320
to me Fina over me that the two were on the pulos Nego Boulevardo.

00:39:55.320 --> 00:40:10.960
He then another record Tirano and then Jimin for months he ask to.

00:40:14.040 --> 00:40:32.080
Part of the name that's Justine.

00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:43.320
Context.

00:41:11.040 --> 00:41:11.600
Boulevard.

00:41:23.000 --> 00:41:34.880
National Boulevard toys post socialist Boulevard rosebud

00:41:36.600 --> 00:41:43.680
we dodge need control of our name and turbo and this is how this

00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:45.040
news.

00:41:49.160 --> 00:41:57.040
I go yeah 'cause via wish master price poster

00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:12.080
series station which is a nearby bostonian Chevy to

00:42:12.120 --> 00:42:15.040
trust a quad a yes in.

00:42:43.120 --> 00:42:43.200
I.

00:42:56.840 --> 00:43:06.880
Because we looked at some examples of how competitions

00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:09.680
are organized this is one example from.

00:43:11.600 --> 00:43:16.160
Union of international architects and practically there are

00:43:16.160 --> 00:43:22.520
two main basis or grounds where one is about the essential principles

00:43:22.520 --> 00:43:25.400
and the other one is the guidelines there are different models

00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:32.000
another model is from manus and Ron again architectural quality

00:43:32.120 --> 00:43:35.240
is highly relying on design criterias.

00:43:35.880 --> 00:43:40.880
But different models develop different parameters emphasizing

00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:51.240
their role another model was the model of Anderson and others

00:43:51.640 --> 00:43:56.280
following here for example the role of the client becomes quintessential

00:43:58.600 --> 00:44:04.440
but also putting forwards architectural grammar as a new parameter

00:44:04.440 --> 00:44:04.840
like.

00:44:06.120 --> 00:44:10.600
Providing the concept of authenticity or readability or materiality

00:44:10.600 --> 00:44:16.640
and time and other things another model again here client requirements

00:44:16.640 --> 00:44:22.840
are also important in fact we provide also another model which

00:44:22.840 --> 00:44:28.400
is Chopin ET al but practically we operationalized a bit so we

00:44:28.760 --> 00:44:32.920
looked a bit at our context and we said OK let us establish one

00:44:32.920 --> 00:44:33.600
model in our.

00:44:34.360 --> 00:44:40.000
Not on our own practically but we try to utilize those elements

00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:47.320
that would be that we could use so certain elements which would

00:44:47.320 --> 00:44:50.640
be very important for us would be design context econicities

00:44:50.640 --> 00:44:53.840
surprise experience feasibility and sustainability in both

00:44:53.840 --> 00:44:58.400
physical and social aspects but on the other side elements especially

00:44:58.400 --> 00:45:00.400
regarding the budget are also important.

00:45:01.200 --> 00:45:05.400
In fact turning back to our context this competition culture

00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:08.520
in Albania is pretty new because in the socialist.

00:45:08.520 --> 00:45:13.240
period like many countries so but probably we are the most radical

00:45:13.240 --> 00:45:18.280
one we are highly centralized governed countries so everything

00:45:18.280 --> 00:45:22.920
was decided by the politburo members architects in fact were

00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:25.920
actually run by the architects were controlled very strictly

00:45:25.920 --> 00:45:29.680
by them But starting from two thousand and three there were a

00:45:29.680 --> 00:45:34.880
series of we have to say competitions starting from the city

00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:39.600
standard master plan in tirana and it continues like that we

00:45:39.600 --> 00:45:46.320
are going to actually focus on northern boulevard a special

00:45:46.320 --> 00:45:50.680
menu of this actually buildings in fact are consequences of

00:45:50.680 --> 00:45:55.840
two thousand and three plan which in fact foresaw by french studio

00:45:55.880 --> 00:46:02.760
it foresaw Emphasizing of main square of Tirana with high rise

00:46:02.880 --> 00:46:07.200
towers and also the main Boulevard of the city spine similarly

00:46:07.200 --> 00:46:14.360
in fact they also so this is actually their vision and this is

00:46:14.360 --> 00:46:17.120
the north Boulevard practically and the the river there are

00:46:17.120 --> 00:46:20.680
two rivers in fact in Tehran this is Lana river or probably a sort

00:46:20.680 --> 00:46:24.080
of Creek and this is Tirana river and.

00:46:24.920 --> 00:46:29.760
The focus of this presentation that we will see in fact in these

00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:36.240
two zones so as a consequence of this French plan we have a lot

00:46:36.240 --> 00:46:41.040
of skyscrapers which in fact emphasize in brackets the city

00:46:41.040 --> 00:46:48.240
line of the main Boulevard and also you can also see these renders.

00:46:51.680 --> 00:46:56.400
It is it have been subject of a lot of discussions debates criticism

00:46:56.400 --> 00:47:00.320
I've also written some papers about issues of identity and etcetera

00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:03.720
in Tirana however it will take a lot of time so I need to turn back

00:47:03.720 --> 00:47:10.120
to our main discussion but practically the project or the competition

00:47:10.120 --> 00:47:13.200
area is this zone here already this part is foreseen from the

00:47:13.200 --> 00:47:18.360
French plan but this is the north Boulevard extension beyond

00:47:18.360 --> 00:47:20.960
the LA tiana river and this is the river.

00:47:21.640 --> 00:47:28.400
So in fact Tirana in the peripheral zones is highly actually

00:47:28.400 --> 00:47:32.920
characterized by informal developments from one of the hidden

00:47:32.920 --> 00:47:38.200
in fact intentions of this project was also formalization of

00:47:38.200 --> 00:47:43.840
the zones by providing and sending new functions which actually

00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:48.440
would be both at local but also national level.

00:47:49.160 --> 00:47:52.280
So practically we have the north Boulevard extension beyond

00:47:52.280 --> 00:47:57.080
the river and the revitalization and regeneration of the potentials

00:47:57.080 --> 00:48:06.080
of Tirana river here all competition briefing requirements

00:48:06.080 --> 00:48:11.440
are are given in a detailed way but very in broad aspects innovative

00:48:11.440 --> 00:48:15.040
and sustainable solutions regenerations of certain areas

00:48:15.040 --> 00:48:17.080
in development of intervention zones.

00:48:17.560 --> 00:48:20.160
So to create a new urban plan that would improve the lifestyle

00:48:20.160 --> 00:48:23.520
of Tirana citizens sustainable growth of the neighbourhoods

00:48:24.120 --> 00:48:27.160
produce working and living spaces that seed would benefit in

00:48:27.160 --> 00:48:31.080
long term the connection between southern and northern part

00:48:31.080 --> 00:48:37.280
but also between two rivers this was quite serious area fourteen

00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:42.800
kilometres which is quite one fourth fourth of the city size

00:48:43.480 --> 00:48:50.480
fourteen kilometres square and It this project would foresee

00:48:50.480 --> 00:48:54.640
a new downtown area with the cultural and public units and also

00:48:54.640 --> 00:48:59.440
it could work as a generator for a modern city new national buildings

00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:03.160
like National Library concert told modern art Galleria convention

00:49:03.160 --> 00:49:09.440
centres palace of justice new City Hall were foreseen on the

00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:13.560
other side it could also give ground for.

00:49:14.040 --> 00:49:18.840
New infrastructure road construction landscape and also they

00:49:18.840 --> 00:49:23.840
had some sort of budgetary limitations like it should not exceed

00:49:23.840 --> 00:49:27.240
the cost of one hundred one hundred thirty euro meter square

00:49:27.240 --> 00:49:29.800
according to the albanian standards of the period there were

00:49:29.800 --> 00:49:35.320
a lot of actually companies international companies who entered

00:49:35.320 --> 00:49:40.320
in the competition however they were selected as finalists

00:49:40.320 --> 00:49:46.640
only dar which was Company which was based in Lebanon and another

00:49:46.640 --> 00:49:52.880
and Grimshaw which is a well known international English company

00:49:52.880 --> 00:49:58.160
so I'm just going to very briefly explain because I know the presentation

00:49:58.160 --> 00:50:01.880
is very long I am limited in terms of time although I'm not very

00:50:02.360 --> 00:50:07.000
bad so far as much as I can realize but it's subjective so this

00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:12.240
is actually the final alternative of dar so.

00:50:13.960 --> 00:50:21.240
It's called dar El handasa the the company their headquarters

00:50:21.240 --> 00:50:29.000
in Beirut in Lebanon so they provide in fact a linear Boulevard

00:50:29.000 --> 00:50:32.800
practically but in fact they want this part of the city to work

00:50:32.800 --> 00:50:37.280
as a new economy for the city so they would develop mixed use units

00:50:37.280 --> 00:50:40.280
and creation of sixteen thousand new homes and twenty thousand

00:50:40.280 --> 00:50:48.520
new jobs They also recognized or they actually put give a name

00:50:48.520 --> 00:50:56.040
to this park called Tirana PLA park plus and they foresee different

00:50:56.040 --> 00:50:59.040
civic and recreational activities and mixed use units at the

00:50:59.040 --> 00:51:06.200
same time and practically this would work as a sort of culture

00:51:06.200 --> 00:51:10.440
heart of the tirana and also connection between two lakes in

00:51:10.440 --> 00:51:14.800
south and north So this is actually the extension so this is the

00:51:14.880 --> 00:51:19.480
existing Boulevard that means the from the city center and this

00:51:19.480 --> 00:51:25.960
is their vision about so as you see in fact it strongly aims also

00:51:25.960 --> 00:51:34.840
to formalize quite informal zones of the city providing dynamic

00:51:34.840 --> 00:51:39.000
geometric paths and also.

00:51:40.160 --> 00:51:44.120
On the other side if you look at the Tirana river it also try to

00:51:45.120 --> 00:51:51.040
revitalize the river and provide new actually recreational

00:51:51.560 --> 00:52:04.400
qualities added to the zone so they also focus especially

00:52:04.400 --> 00:52:08.760
in the the youth and especially the.

00:52:09.280 --> 00:52:14.360
Role of young people because we have a young population as well

00:52:14.360 --> 00:52:21.000
and especially they foresaw proposals which actually could

00:52:21.960 --> 00:52:26.240
prevent at some extent they also undertook some sort of social

00:52:26.240 --> 00:52:30.920
responsibility by because we have also high level of migration

00:52:30.920 --> 00:52:35.640
to Western Europe so they could combine.

00:52:36.120 --> 00:52:40.800
Certain solutions which would have close to new university

00:52:40.800 --> 00:52:45.640
campus functions or new jobs which actually could work together

00:52:46.320 --> 00:52:51.600
and in some extent providing some contributions to the economy

00:52:55.880 --> 00:53:00.720
so they also foresaw different creative economy retail economy.

00:53:03.880 --> 00:53:10.520
About the transport and road network in fact they in majority

00:53:10.520 --> 00:53:15.760
focus on sustainable solutions like usage of public transport

00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:20.360
and cycling and pedestrian paths also the other project aim

00:53:20.360 --> 00:53:23.800
to limit the usage of private automobiles.

00:53:27.800 --> 00:53:34.920
Here you see their proposal for the river in fact they try to fragment

00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:40.800
yet in different functions and areas the whole river and also

00:53:41.120 --> 00:53:45.200
the most interesting part is also the connection between the

00:53:45.200 --> 00:53:52.640
river and the sorry and the and the Boulevard where they provide

00:53:52.640 --> 00:53:56.240
this campus which at the same time would provide.

00:53:56.800 --> 00:54:04.360
Would give role to the new generations and different hubs I would

00:54:04.360 --> 00:54:09.600
say recreation park technologies terraces campus already

00:54:09.600 --> 00:54:15.240
technopol so a lot of proposals are relying on research and innovation

00:54:15.800 --> 00:54:21.320
potentials ecology park also benefiting?

00:54:21.800 --> 00:54:26.520
From the river they propose also as recreational functions

00:54:26.600 --> 00:54:35.000
some pools here we see in an analysis actually which see different

00:54:35.840 --> 00:54:43.000
functions which are combined with one so you see retail functions

00:54:43.000 --> 00:54:46.440
civic functions park and they are all combined in the Boulevard.

00:54:50.240 --> 00:54:59.920
And also this extension at the same time is also foresee in five

00:55:02.040 --> 00:55:09.200
we can say hubs so the campus the stage the gardens each of these

00:55:09.200 --> 00:55:17.280
hubs provide this potentials and try to.

00:55:17.800 --> 00:55:22.440
Elaborate and emphasize the role of gathering and public spaces

00:55:22.440 --> 00:55:26.440
and this mixed use functions on the other side they also try to

00:55:26.440 --> 00:55:30.280
provide solutions for this national scale buildings like town

00:55:30.280 --> 00:55:38.120
hall or we had the main train stations for our palace of justice

00:55:40.560 --> 00:55:47.760
Here we see also primary movement corridors including tram

00:55:47.960 --> 00:55:51.920
road pedestrian streets vehicular road principal landscape

00:55:51.920 --> 00:55:59.000
features with linear tree lines important especially this

00:55:59.000 --> 00:56:06.760
City Hall building which work as a sort of iconic building and

00:56:06.760 --> 00:56:08.280
also other.

00:56:10.120 --> 00:56:17.400
Different land use proposals in the upper levels these are some

00:56:18.000 --> 00:56:32.770
section perspective we passed faster to Grimshaw so so Grimshaw

00:56:32.850 --> 00:56:38.410
actually focused their presentation because they were strike

00:56:38.410 --> 00:56:41.210
from the high level of sense of community and the.

00:56:43.480 --> 00:56:49.000
I I'll finalize thank you so of Tirana citizens and they actually

00:56:49.000 --> 00:56:54.120
propose certain neighbourhoods which would be provided functions

00:56:54.120 --> 00:57:05.680
within a distance of six hundred meters like this diagram they

00:57:05.680 --> 00:57:11.120
also in the boulevard provided Those that they called urban

00:57:11.120 --> 00:57:14.400
living rooms which were retail justice civic governance and

00:57:14.400 --> 00:57:22.400
culture and especially one of their intention because as you

00:57:22.400 --> 00:57:27.680
see their proposal is highly formalistic so they tend to formalize

00:57:27.920 --> 00:57:34.160
this informal zone of Tirana especially through densification

00:57:34.160 --> 00:57:37.120
and provision of new recreational spaces.

00:57:40.280 --> 00:57:45.440
Similarly also for the trans transport the net net transport

00:57:45.440 --> 00:57:50.280
solution they also try to benefit from the large ring of the the

00:57:50.320 --> 00:57:56.000
crater ring of the city and also this sorry communication with

00:57:56.000 --> 00:57:57.680
this between these two lakes.

00:57:59.840 --> 00:58:04.800
And also they propose at the same time new light rail tramways

00:58:04.880 --> 00:58:11.000
and but these are already foreseen in previous National Transportation

00:58:11.000 --> 00:58:17.160
master plans I guess and also probably this is the strongest

00:58:17.320 --> 00:58:21.720
image that we need to so you see that also they put a lot of emphasis

00:58:21.720 --> 00:58:26.680
especially in the river competition and they consider it as.

00:58:27.200 --> 00:58:30.880
four hubs it's also highly liberated at the same time so this

00:58:30.880 --> 00:58:41.200
is Expo and technology hub sport and recreation hub so it foresee

00:58:41.280 --> 00:58:46.960
a national Olympic centre with separate and elaborated different

00:58:47.280 --> 00:58:53.080
sportive facilities like new national stadium and et cetera.

00:58:53.840 --> 00:59:00.000
And also they try to formalize all this highly informal zone

00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:06.080
of Tirana and also at the same time provide a scenario how to develop

00:59:06.360 --> 00:59:14.720
especially this we I have to say the valley of the river by providing

00:59:14.720 --> 00:59:20.680
different green and greenery solutions and also the extension

00:59:20.680 --> 00:59:21.920
of the Boulevard is.

00:59:23.560 --> 00:59:28.960
Considered through density as a major component for example

00:59:29.440 --> 00:59:34.400
here there are commercial civic and cultural creational spaces

00:59:35.000 --> 00:59:39.000
and this is the golden tower the iconic building according to

00:59:39.000 --> 00:59:46.440
them in the city core in the CTH the density yes I'm I'm finalizing

00:59:46.440 --> 00:59:51.280
yes OK sorry sorry it looks that I'm speaking for myself.

00:59:53.480 --> 00:59:56.640
And in the city edge as you see the building heights are lower.

01:00:00.120 --> 01:00:11.480
Practically, they also are very concerned, especially on inclusion

01:00:11.480 --> 01:00:22.040
and participation of people in not only the planning processes,

01:00:22.040 --> 01:00:25.680
but at the same time by providing buildings which would give

01:00:25.680 --> 01:00:28.080
this kind of feature.

01:00:29.040 --> 01:00:33.080
So this is actually sort of very fast comparison, but I don't

01:00:33.080 --> 01:00:34.280
think that we have time for that.

01:00:34.280 --> 01:00:37.760
So this is DAR and this is actually Grimshaw.

01:00:40.880 --> 01:00:47.120
So from the economicity point of view, this is the Gateway tower,

01:00:47.400 --> 01:00:55.240
which is proposed by DAR and also regional Expo buildings and

01:00:55.240 --> 01:00:56.680
also new national building.

01:00:57.000 --> 01:00:57.920
This is from Grimshaw.

01:01:01.000 --> 01:01:03.880
Grimshaw proposals also Tower of Knowledge, which works also

01:01:03.880 --> 01:01:07.360
a sort of iconic building.

01:01:10.240 --> 01:01:15.640
Gateway Tower from DAR providing this surprise effect because

01:01:15.640 --> 01:01:21.760
it in fact divide the boulevard and you cannot see what happens

01:01:21.880 --> 01:01:22.360
beyond.

01:01:24.160 --> 01:01:27.520
Yes, yes, I'm finishing, I know it.

01:01:28.760 --> 01:01:30.120
So I'm going very fast.

01:01:30.120 --> 01:01:37.640
But we generated also sort of comparative table by the end, but

01:01:38.520 --> 01:01:41.400
and probably I will not have time to explain one by one.

01:01:41.400 --> 01:01:49.560
But as a result, we can say that in the proposal of DAR, we conducted

01:01:50.120 --> 01:01:54.520
one, we concluded that that's high qualitative build environment

01:01:54.520 --> 01:01:56.920
and good ratio between green and built.

01:01:58.160 --> 01:02:04.840
On the other side in the case of Grimshaw, it's, it's lower the

01:02:04.840 --> 01:02:09.240
expense from the implementation, but DAR was more expensive

01:02:09.880 --> 01:02:14.240
and practically Grimshaw was a little bit more economic.

01:02:14.600 --> 01:02:17.440
Now there are a lot of details that we have to go, but I don't think

01:02:17.440 --> 01:02:18.520
that we have time for that.

01:02:19.520 --> 01:02:22.920
I leave the floor to you to make a comparison, but if somebody

01:02:22.960 --> 01:02:26.120
would request also the presentation, they could go through

01:02:26.120 --> 01:02:27.320
the presentation and see.

01:02:28.120 --> 01:02:36.400
Thank you for your thank you very much.

01:02:37.920 --> 01:02:43.480
I hope that as well the last presenter who will lead us to Sunny

01:02:43.480 --> 01:02:50.040
Turkey will be disciplined and then we will have some minutes

01:02:50.040 --> 01:02:54.080
to come back to the presentation with our question and comments.

01:02:54.680 --> 01:03:02.680
And this Sunny is bringing Sedal, it was from Amashiya University

01:03:02.680 --> 01:03:03.680
from Turkia.

01:03:04.120 --> 01:03:10.720
Please the floor reserves be close to the microphone because of.

01:03:10.720 --> 01:03:19.320
OK so, OK Hello, hello everyone.

01:03:20.480 --> 01:03:21.400
I'm from Turkey.

01:03:21.600 --> 01:03:28.280
I'm a young planner and I will I will share this presentation

01:03:29.200 --> 01:03:33.040
about for local development and strategic plan.

01:03:35.160 --> 01:03:41.760
And Tokat is located in the central Black Sea region and total

01:03:41.760 --> 01:03:51.120
land area about ten thousand square kilometres and Vision vision

01:03:51.360 --> 01:03:55.840
tokat were sustainable development is achieved by effectively

01:03:58.120 --> 01:04:04.240
authorizing local resources and striving to meet their own

01:04:04.240 --> 01:04:09.480
needs The purpose achieve sustainable development throughout

01:04:09.520 --> 01:04:16.800
the realization of development both quantitatively and quantitatively

01:04:16.800 --> 01:04:22.480
throughout central local collaboration, social, economic

01:04:22.520 --> 01:04:24.280
and cultural means.

01:04:25.200 --> 01:04:28.960
The mobilizing local resources throughout Public private

01:04:28.960 --> 01:04:36.200
sector and collaboration and civil social organization to

01:04:36.200 --> 01:04:45.160
enable social party participation and here planning principles

01:04:45.240 --> 01:04:50.920
and this first one balance distribution and second one equality

01:04:51.240 --> 01:04:55.520
source one Cooperation and last one sustainability.

01:04:58.120 --> 01:04:58.400
Sorry.

01:04:59.920 --> 01:05:05.600
And this table is showing to us population projects of Tokat.

01:05:05.960 --> 01:05:12.280
And this the first map twenty twenty twenty two years about for

01:05:12.600 --> 01:05:18.680
population and second one so twenty fifteen years about population

01:05:19.640 --> 01:05:26.000
and current population now about six hundred K so natural population

01:05:26.000 --> 01:05:35.200
incurs a negative about sixty sixty seven K but current and and

01:05:35.640 --> 01:05:41.760
employment and created employment For this I'm going agriculture,

01:05:41.880 --> 01:05:47.280
industry and services sectoral and total population brought

01:05:47.280 --> 01:05:55.920
by employment is sixty five K so population the change actually

01:05:56.320 --> 01:06:01.240
twenty twenty two years and twenty fifteen years after employment

01:06:01.480 --> 01:06:10.120
just just negative about three three thousand And the strategic

01:06:10.120 --> 01:06:14.080
plan has some goal and strategic.

01:06:14.560 --> 01:06:20.200
This natural environment the the use and creation of renewable

01:06:20.240 --> 01:06:21.320
energy sources.

01:06:21.800 --> 01:06:28.080
The strategy strategy solar energy power plant will will be

01:06:29.680 --> 01:06:35.920
established taking into account protected this area and social

01:06:35.920 --> 01:06:41.000
environment meeting the needs of the community in the context

01:06:41.000 --> 01:06:50.360
of Commission the migration and strategy increasing employment,

01:06:50.440 --> 01:06:56.840
employment activists for migration, population and unemployment

01:06:56.840 --> 01:07:06.080
and creating new employment so opportunities this economic

01:07:06.080 --> 01:07:13.680
environment balancing balancing rural, rural and Urban Development.

01:07:13.880 --> 01:07:21.840
So strategy by addressing transportation and infrastructure

01:07:23.560 --> 01:07:30.480
deficiencies is rural areas so increasing in investment and

01:07:30.480 --> 01:07:35.400
truly areas so physical environment, physical environment

01:07:37.400 --> 01:07:43.640
addressing in for a structure for a structure the deficient

01:07:43.720 --> 01:07:50.760
sense they provide a cool services and reduce the pressure on

01:07:50.760 --> 01:07:53.760
rural areas in settlements.

01:07:53.760 --> 01:08:02.840
Strategy increasing and employment social and cultural infrastructure

01:08:03.680 --> 01:08:12.920
facialities particularly particularly in distribute here

01:08:13.720 --> 01:08:20.320
sub approach for natural environment sub approach here we are

01:08:20.320 --> 01:08:23.160
seeing two maps, so two different maps.

01:08:23.200 --> 01:08:32.240
The first one we know we know the Turkey as an earthquake country

01:08:32.560 --> 01:08:38.960
and also in Tokat this light red line active fault line.

01:08:39.280 --> 01:08:45.680
So for about tokat has a special after strategy plan has this

01:08:45.680 --> 01:08:53.680
master plan so about air kick and also for this area special has

01:08:54.160 --> 01:09:02.680
protected this building system and the soil pollution, water

01:09:02.680 --> 01:09:06.480
pollution and ground pollution, ground pollution.

01:09:06.800 --> 01:09:15.400
So it's coming to actually from agriculture and this, this Polish

01:09:16.320 --> 01:09:25.560
agriculture and this strategic plant sink protected to area

01:09:25.760 --> 01:09:31.520
especially natural park forest and also the farm area.

01:09:31.520 --> 01:09:39.840
So that's why we this project sink this product also from pollution.

01:09:40.480 --> 01:09:45.880
And second one, second one, the renewable energy.

01:09:46.080 --> 01:09:51.120
There is important renewable energy and solar, solar energy,

01:09:51.360 --> 01:09:54.320
wind energy and biogas energy.

01:09:54.720 --> 01:10:06.720
But this biogas energy will be more just a livestock district.

01:10:11.520 --> 01:10:16.000
Yes, this physical physical approach.

01:10:17.440 --> 01:10:25.560
There is again two two maps, the first one proposed and second

01:10:25.560 --> 01:10:36.360
one available for current maps and this especially here.

01:10:36.360 --> 01:10:41.680
So train train road is going just for for the street and after

01:10:42.000 --> 01:10:50.240
after this strategic plan it will go, it will go city centre and

01:10:50.240 --> 01:11:01.490
also logistic area, a social approach.

01:11:02.290 --> 01:11:07.570
The social approach has healthy healthy services and social

01:11:07.570 --> 01:11:13.130
services, cultural services, services and will develop before,

01:11:13.130 --> 01:11:19.650
before just this developed just in city centre but rural areas,

01:11:19.880 --> 01:11:27.080
so not much, not much develop that's why before that's why so

01:11:27.080 --> 01:11:32.720
suburbia area will have to, will have some services, social

01:11:32.720 --> 01:11:38.800
services and will stop migration and economic, economic approach.

01:11:39.440 --> 01:11:44.000
Agriculture and industry side will balance and will balance

01:11:44.000 --> 01:11:52.200
and so they will use resources, resources and also there is and

01:11:52.640 --> 01:11:53.960
and resources.

01:11:54.160 --> 01:11:57.480
This is ecotourism and thermal tourism.

01:11:57.480 --> 01:12:03.080
It will be more using and will develop and also for economics,

01:12:03.200 --> 01:12:10.400
economic approach before nothing and after plan will be logistics

01:12:10.400 --> 01:12:12.720
centre and focus area.

01:12:16.360 --> 01:12:21.600
The main approach here important thing so sectoral corridor

01:12:21.600 --> 01:12:30.160
and so sectoral corridor and especially here agriculture and

01:12:30.200 --> 01:12:35.560
industry will be will be will will continue together so about

01:12:35.560 --> 01:12:40.800
this corridor and cope with cooperation and some cooperation

01:12:40.840 --> 01:12:47.360
about social, education and cultural like with with some community

01:12:50.720 --> 01:12:51.920
and strategic plan.

01:12:52.600 --> 01:12:59.040
The last one is important to relieve the city centre and it will

01:12:59.040 --> 01:13:05.920
reduce traffic and quality of life increase will go up So with

01:13:05.920 --> 01:13:13.160
balanced rural area, suburbia area and city central and especially

01:13:13.200 --> 01:13:15.800
for young people better quality of life.

01:13:16.200 --> 01:13:21.560
So rural area with cultural, social and economic standard will go up.

01:13:22.040 --> 01:13:27.960
So by meeting its own needs sustainable will continue.

01:13:29.280 --> 01:13:29.640
Thank you.

01:13:39.080 --> 01:13:39.560
Thank you.

01:13:39.560 --> 01:13:45.760
So with with this presentation we we finished the program concerning

01:13:45.760 --> 01:13:50.560
the presentation, but we want some ten minutes for the questions.

01:13:50.880 --> 01:13:57.200
So I I will step here on the side because I cannot see you are welcome

01:13:57.200 --> 01:14:01.960
to formulate your remarks or questions to the presenters.

01:14:02.400 --> 01:14:07.200
Please, we have, we have microphones by it.

01:14:07.400 --> 01:14:12.680
But I was asked that everyone who is speaking should should come here.

01:14:17.080 --> 01:14:19.560
Well, I have a question or you can say comment.

01:14:19.920 --> 01:14:22.800
I have a question for my Albania colleague.

01:14:23.720 --> 01:14:25.280
I had an honour to meet with you.

01:14:26.080 --> 01:14:28.840
Yeah, you can until the time the question is going on.

01:14:28.840 --> 01:14:34.800
So you can let's go together there.

01:14:36.000 --> 01:14:37.160
I'm not important.

01:14:37.160 --> 01:14:38.440
So I mean I'm.

01:14:38.880 --> 01:14:40.640
I'm always behind the camera.

01:14:41.000 --> 01:14:42.360
We can make a compromise.

01:14:42.560 --> 01:14:43.120
Yeah, I'm good.

01:14:43.120 --> 01:14:48.200
I think it's easier to be on the camera.

01:14:48.240 --> 01:14:49.800
It's harder to be here.

01:14:49.800 --> 01:14:53.040
Well, since you mentioned about behind, I mean on the camera

01:14:53.040 --> 01:14:57.960
or behind camera, I curated one TV show with your Prime Minister

01:14:57.960 --> 01:15:03.520
Adi Rama and there we had an interaction and he's a very good painter,

01:15:05.480 --> 01:15:08.640
which which he claims I'm not sure about.

01:15:09.160 --> 01:15:13.760
So he was saying and and he was also mayor, three time mayor of

01:15:13.760 --> 01:15:14.200
Tirana.

01:15:14.200 --> 01:15:14.560
Yes.

01:15:15.160 --> 01:15:18.040
So he mentioned that, you know, maybe because of, you know, the

01:15:18.040 --> 01:15:22.200
bringing the life in the city of Tirana, he painted the whole

01:15:22.200 --> 01:15:22.640
city.

01:15:22.640 --> 01:15:25.960
You you're speaking about the lecture that he had at Tate Modern?

01:15:26.080 --> 01:15:26.400
No, no.

01:15:26.400 --> 01:15:28.600
I had my personal interaction with him.

01:15:28.880 --> 01:15:30.320
So he had this lecture.

01:15:30.320 --> 01:15:30.520
Solid.

01:15:32.840 --> 01:15:33.400
Tate Modern, Yes.

01:15:33.400 --> 01:15:35.880
But we have this light and it's very highly disturbing.

01:15:36.280 --> 01:15:36.400
Yes.

01:15:36.400 --> 01:15:42.520
So how it was taken by public I just wanted to know this is in fact

01:15:42.520 --> 01:15:45.480
one hundred million dollar question author you're asking so

01:15:45.520 --> 01:15:51.960
practically but he have been as you explained for three mandates

01:15:52.080 --> 01:15:58.440
as mayor of tirana and now is at the same time should be his third

01:15:58.440 --> 01:16:01.400
mandate as prime minister So he's guy.

01:16:01.680 --> 01:16:05.160
He has a lot of power practically because it have been gaining

01:16:05.160 --> 01:16:06.320
power time by time.

01:16:06.760 --> 01:16:12.160
He's very good in public communication, you can say very good,

01:16:12.160 --> 01:16:13.800
also public manipulation.

01:16:14.280 --> 01:16:18.920
So but he's also a very colourful guy.

01:16:19.360 --> 01:16:25.400
That means that he's able to transmit artistical tools and means

01:16:25.520 --> 01:16:30.960
in the public and I find him quite successful in this aspect.

01:16:32.080 --> 01:16:35.880
Initially this initiative that he had at the beginning, it was

01:16:35.880 --> 01:16:36.360
called it.

01:16:36.360 --> 01:16:41.200
In fact it's the commencement or department point For my PHD thesis.

01:16:42.360 --> 01:16:46.400
I wrote a P H D C thesis on the issue of urban identity of tirana

01:16:46.960 --> 01:16:51.480
because i felt as an architect that the realm of architecture

01:16:51.480 --> 01:16:57.520
was stolen by artists Artists started to paint our facades and

01:16:57.520 --> 01:16:58.320
etcetera, etcetera.

01:16:58.320 --> 01:17:04.760
And and actually the medium of architects is tectonics is not,

01:17:05.080 --> 01:17:06.720
is not colored practically.

01:17:07.000 --> 01:17:12.280
So there was a little bit of difference that it was in some aspect

01:17:12.280 --> 01:17:18.360
it was positive, the initial, the initial or the initiative

01:17:18.360 --> 01:17:23.720
of the beginning to paint the building facades, because it brought

01:17:23.720 --> 01:17:25.480
a sort of sense of hope.

01:17:25.960 --> 01:17:27.760
But they were very superficial.

01:17:27.760 --> 01:17:30.840
So they did not consider holistic approach.

01:17:30.840 --> 01:17:34.080
So they did not consider thermal comfort.

01:17:34.320 --> 01:17:37.560
They did not consider other aspects of considering, I don't

01:17:37.560 --> 01:17:41.560
know, common outdoor spaces or greeners.

01:17:41.560 --> 01:17:45.480
And it said it was just a sort of makeup, a superficial intervention

01:17:45.680 --> 01:17:51.320
which in my opinion in majority aimed political attention.

01:17:52.360 --> 01:17:57.760
But as the time have passed and he have been in power for approximately

01:17:58.400 --> 01:18:01.800
twenty more than twenty years and he have more and more in his

01:18:01.800 --> 01:18:03.040
sense to to do.

01:18:04.360 --> 01:18:08.440
But one thing is positive, which I evaluate is that he brought

01:18:08.440 --> 01:18:14.480
Albania into the centre of probably European debates and discussions

01:18:14.480 --> 01:18:19.160
even with this kind of controversial ideas about the subject

01:18:19.160 --> 01:18:21.560
of urban regeneration, renovations and etcetera.

01:18:21.560 --> 01:18:25.280
And maybe sometimes it's a sort of, you know, Marcel Duchamp.

01:18:25.280 --> 01:18:29.240
So the Fontaine thing with Dada and the dais and groups and etcetera,

01:18:29.400 --> 01:18:34.760
everything that if you are able to provoke actually you, you

01:18:34.760 --> 01:18:39.280
take attention even what you promote and propose is not the best.

01:18:40.240 --> 01:18:45.000
So that would be probably a sort of reaction, replies some at

01:18:45.000 --> 01:18:46.320
some some extent, I think.

01:18:47.400 --> 01:18:53.800
Thank you very much some some some other questions to the presenters.

01:18:53.800 --> 01:18:56.920
I can see the auditorium over there.

01:18:56.920 --> 01:18:59.440
Please share the microphone.

01:18:59.960 --> 01:19:02.880
And then queer name Petania and Thomas Dorakovsky and Petania

01:19:02.920 --> 01:19:04.640
the Thomas Dorakovsky.

01:19:04.640 --> 01:19:07.640
I have a question to the London part of the presentation.

01:19:07.640 --> 01:19:08.200
If I may.

01:19:11.000 --> 01:19:14.760
I wanted to focus on the London part and in particular the one

01:19:14.760 --> 01:19:17.920
in which you describe the process, which I think is far from being

01:19:17.920 --> 01:19:18.480
but now.

01:19:18.640 --> 01:19:20.600
And it concerns London.

01:19:21.000 --> 01:19:28.280
But not only London, probably many cities that have desired

01:19:28.840 --> 01:19:30.600
expensive areas in them.

01:19:31.400 --> 01:19:36.200
You describe the process that starts off with a substance back

01:19:36.200 --> 01:19:39.440
in the fifties Then there is certain evaluation of whether there

01:19:39.440 --> 01:19:45.640
is well it has worn out aesthetically or economically or maybe

01:19:45.640 --> 01:19:48.320
in thermal terms, I'm not sure.

01:19:48.560 --> 01:19:49.960
Or maybe socially.

01:19:49.960 --> 01:19:53.760
It's been used up because the social group that inhibits this

01:19:53.760 --> 01:19:57.440
part does is not liked by by by by others.

01:19:57.440 --> 01:19:58.160
I'm not sure.

01:19:58.160 --> 01:20:01.160
Or what kind of how is this evaluation performed?

01:20:01.160 --> 01:20:03.720
I need an answer to this question, but I'm more interested in

01:20:03.720 --> 01:20:05.800
the motto itself if we have a hectare.

01:20:06.200 --> 01:20:12.760
Of of of an area of ground with one thousand flats there And

01:20:12.760 --> 01:20:17.240
then a decision is made to replace this structure with something

01:20:17.240 --> 01:20:19.080
that is twice as dense.

01:20:19.080 --> 01:20:21.280
Well, at least three times or even better.

01:20:21.280 --> 01:20:23.240
OK let's stick to three times as dense.

01:20:23.240 --> 01:20:26.480
So we had one thousand We are supposed to have three thousand flats.

01:20:27.960 --> 01:20:29.240
This one hectare.

01:20:29.360 --> 01:20:33.240
Regardless of the rationality of the ratio, let's say that this

01:20:33.440 --> 01:20:38.880
community that lives there, well, it has to, it has to move right

01:20:38.880 --> 01:20:42.040
or it has to be made less dense.

01:20:42.040 --> 01:20:45.000
I suppose that their economic power is poor.

01:20:45.240 --> 01:20:49.720
They make ends, meet, ends meet, because over those forty or

01:20:49.720 --> 01:20:53.560
sixty years, the process has been intense enough.

01:20:53.560 --> 01:20:58.800
So the let's say the value of the ground has exceeded their expectations

01:20:58.800 --> 01:20:59.520
and assumptions.

01:20:59.520 --> 01:21:01.440
I'm talking here about the planning aspect.

01:21:01.880 --> 01:21:05.160
Let's stick to twenty five percent not nine percent But let's

01:21:05.160 --> 01:21:11.800
say the twenty five percent is supposed to be the social flat

01:21:11.800 --> 01:21:14.560
So we have a new structure.

01:21:15.600 --> 01:21:18.160
If we have three times and then twenty five south twenty five

01:21:18.160 --> 01:21:23.720
percent of the inhabitants will actually had to leave right

01:21:23.720 --> 01:21:31.800
So it all boils down to the community being well decimated in

01:21:31.840 --> 01:21:32.280
a way.

01:21:32.280 --> 01:21:34.680
So who Who gains who?

01:21:35.080 --> 01:21:37.440
Whose benefit are we talking about here?

01:21:37.440 --> 01:21:42.880
Well, as you can imagine, the answer is going to be complex.

01:21:42.880 --> 01:21:50.560
First of all, it is not a city that is responsible for the execution

01:21:50.560 --> 01:21:53.520
of that, but a giving housing cooperative.

01:21:53.520 --> 01:21:56.040
It can belong to the city on or not.

01:21:56.040 --> 01:21:56.600
It can be.

01:21:56.600 --> 01:21:58.400
It can be independent of the city.

01:21:58.400 --> 01:21:59.240
That's one thing.

01:21:59.960 --> 01:22:05.440
Secondly, the ratio is at least thirty five percent to fifty

01:22:05.440 --> 01:22:11.560
percent In the case of investments, it's public ground.

01:22:11.560 --> 01:22:16.120
So those that were obtained from the public resources.

01:22:16.120 --> 01:22:21.600
Now those ratio thirty five to fifty that concerns the surplus,

01:22:21.600 --> 01:22:26.920
which means that it is an obligation of a given housing cooperative

01:22:27.680 --> 01:22:30.960
that usually gets in touch with the developer to first of all

01:22:31.040 --> 01:22:38.480
recreate the number of flats that are available

01:22:39.480 --> 01:22:44.760
at present and then on top of that additionally provide thirty

01:22:44.760 --> 01:22:49.600
five percent more So that means that this well this community

01:22:49.600 --> 01:22:51.160
is in the minority.

01:22:51.280 --> 01:22:56.080
But via referendum each of them has a chance to have a say and each

01:22:56.080 --> 01:23:02.640
of them gets an offer from the housing cooperative.

01:23:03.360 --> 01:23:05.480
And they have a choice.

01:23:05.880 --> 01:23:07.560
They can either stay.

01:23:08.600 --> 01:23:12.120
When there is a referendum, clear conditions are defined.

01:23:14.480 --> 01:23:20.040
Every housing cooperative tries now to guarantee a minor, only

01:23:20.040 --> 01:23:26.800
a minor increase in the rent costs, the basic rent and

01:23:27.960 --> 01:23:33.560
quite favorable conditions for the inhabitants that already

01:23:33.720 --> 01:23:34.320
live there.

01:23:34.320 --> 01:23:36.880
So they get an incentive to stay.

01:23:39.360 --> 01:23:43.320
But as a result of this heightened density, of course, this original

01:23:43.320 --> 01:23:46.000
community then turns into a minority.

01:23:54.000 --> 01:23:57.520
These kinds of endeavours are carried out by housing cooperatives,

01:23:57.520 --> 01:24:01.480
so by the units that not only are developers, but that also later

01:24:01.480 --> 01:24:03.280
manage those housing estates.

01:24:04.280 --> 01:24:13.680
And so it is in their interest to ensure the coexistence

01:24:13.680 --> 01:24:17.480
of the old and the new community and their cooperation.

01:24:18.400 --> 01:24:23.760
Well, the assumption is that there is always an influx of the

01:24:23.760 --> 01:24:31.000
new community that is the non privileged one and that

01:24:31.000 --> 01:24:32.440
inhibits the new flats.

01:24:32.440 --> 01:24:36.920
Of course this is very difficult but well we've we've been struggling

01:24:36.920 --> 01:24:38.080
to to make it happen.

01:24:42.280 --> 01:24:49.280
The our time was already very useful spent for this session

01:24:49.760 --> 01:24:55.120
and we can continue our discussions during the break, the coffee

01:24:55.120 --> 01:24:55.560
break.

01:24:55.560 --> 01:25:01.920
So please be disciplined and return back at four o'clock Thank

01:25:01.920 --> 01:25:03.240
you very much for your attention.
