Talking about cities, starting with an essential building block --the neighborhood!
It seems that increasingly we are devoting more and more attention to studying cities. I am particularly heartened that old ways of talking about planning, typologies, and separate disciplines or "verticals" are giving way to broader, Intergrated views of the city, and delving deeper into their unique characteristics. Thus, this book from the perspective of neighborhoods. I am happy to be among the 35 authors of the publication and to have reflected, with colleagues from near and far, about the role, opportunities and characteristics of neighborhoods to contribute to the livability of cities.
Our book 'Mission Neighbourhood – (Re)forming Communities' is here!
With 35 contributions from acclaimed architects, academics, civil servants and developers from the Nordics and beyond, the publication, explores the urgent urban issues of our time – from social infrastructure, nature and biodiversity, to mobility and urban governance – in a neighbourhood perspective.
