A Study on the Diversity of urban Qualities in the cities
Centuriatio
Diversity of urban Qualities in European Cities
Humans have built cities, and many cities have disappeared over the centuries, but many remain. Research on the sustainability of cities today should probably begin with these existing cities. Namely, it is necessary to study what kind of urban Qualities make the city sustainable. Many European cities of today have continuously formed and developed urban spaces and structures through various methods since the ancient Greek and Roman times, and have created their urban Qualities. This was not achieved just through a spontaneous technological development or a impulsively concept, but was formed through the overlapping of numerous efforts and plans for centuries. Centuriatio in ancient Rome, Ideal city planning in the Renaissance, French gardens in the 17th century, transformation to an Industrial city in the 19th century, modern urban planning in the 20th century, and studies on various urban Qualities in the 1960s and 1970s. Through the various planning, research, and experiences, European cities today are pursuing to achieve the diversity of their urban Qualities, which will ensure their sustainability of cities in the Future.
Berlin-Brandenburg 2070
Urban Qualities in the European Metropolis Unlike other big cities in Europe, Berlin, the capital of Germany, was formed from the 14th century, and its essential urban structure and space were formed in the 19th and 20th centuries, in a short period. In particular, the massive expansion of the city with the name Gross-Berlin in 1920 brought it into what it is today. Because the city expanded abruptly without sufficient preparation at that time, it had many problems and possibilities, and such points persist even to this day. In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Gross-Berlin in 2020, a competition was held in Berlin for a proposal for an urban concept for Berlin-Brandenburg in 2070. Through this, various possibilities and urban Qualities of Berlin today were evaluated. Among them, what is particularly noteworthy is that, in conceptualizing of future urban space and structure, not only Berlin, but also the surrounding state of Brandenburg was considered together. It shows well that a sustainability of a city is not a problem only within the city, but must be made in the establishment of a relationship with the environment surrounding it. In addition, the sustainability of the future Berlin and its various urban Qualities were presented through five urban concept proposals selected from the presented proposals: urban development along the railroad line, and green zones in between, which are flowed into the City Centre, various urban boundaries, and clear definitions of urban outlines through the urban blocks, abundant forests and lakes around Berlin, and urban islands in the cities.
Kulturlandschaft as urban Qualities
Urban Qualities in the small European Cities In today's small European cities, various problems such as population decline, urban sprawl and tourist development are being caused. To strengthen their sustainability, Kulturlandschaft (cultural landscape) as an urban Quality should be pursued. As an example I would like to show a project, which was conducted in the RWTH Aachen University, Germany:
Zu Fußen der Villa. The Project for the Art Academy between the City and La Rotonda, Vicenza
