Urban mutations - periodization, scale and mobility Niels Albertsen, Tom Nielsen, Peter Hemmersam

DRAMATIC CHANGES HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN EUROPEAN CITIES AND SOCIETIES DURING THE LAST 50 YEARS. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE WELFARE STATE AND THE PARTIALLY REALIZED UTOPIAS OF MODERN URBAN PLANNING HAVE HAD EXTENSIVE CONSEQUENCES FOR THE URBAN LANDSCAPE, MANY OF THEM UNINTENDED. TODAY, THIS PROCESS APPEARS AS A LINE OF MUTATIONS, OF HOW THE PLANNED WAS TRANSFORMED INTO THE UNPLANNED AND UNEXPECTED.

THESE URBAN MUTATIONS REPRESENT A NEW CHALLENGE FOR ALL PROFESSIONS INVOLVED IN FORMING THE FUTURE OF EUROPEAN CITIES. IN THIS BOOK THEY ARE ADDRESSED FROM BOTH A THEORETICAL AND A PRACTICAL PERSPECTIVE, FOCUSING ON THREE CENTRAL NOTIONS:

PERIODIZATION - WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO PERIODIZE, WHY AND HOW DO MUTATIONS OCCUR?

SCALE-CHANGE OF SCALE IN URBAN AREAS IS A DEFINING ELEMENT IN THE PERCEPTION OF BUILDINGS, INFRASTRUCTURES AND GEOGRAPHIES.

MOBILITY-OR ACCESS TO MEANS OF TRANSPORT HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY ESSENTIAL FOR CONTEMPORARY URBAN LIFE.

Sammendrag: Dramatiske ændringer har fundet sted i europæiske byer og samfund de sidste 50 år. Udviklingen af velfærdsstaten og de delvist realiserede utopier inden for moderne byplanlægning har haft omfattende konsekvenser for det urbane landskab, mange af dem uudtalte. I dag fremstår denne proces som en række mutationer, af hvordan det planlagte blev omdannet til det uplanlagte og uventede. Disse urban mutationer repræsenterer en ny udfordring for alle erhverv involveret i formningen af fremtidens europæiske byer. I denne bog behandles de fra både en teoretisk og en praktisk synsvinkel, med fokus på tre centrale begreber: periodisering, skala og mobilitet.
