Long lasting quality – the city as complex structure

Long lasting quility – time, the city that breathes

Long lasting quality – organic structuralism

Long lasting quality – what went wrong after WWII?

Undercurrents

Crisis?

• Each crisis leaves behind its lasting tracks, but it comes and goes

• Deeper lying transitions

1. From “Making the City” to “Being the City”” 2. Megapolisation

• The urban development motor since WWII

• The crisis as a role model?

Megapolisation, new urban cosmopolitans

Undercurrents: megapolisation, glocal economy

Undercurrents: megapolisation, new housing issues

Undercurrents: megapolisation, shrinking & growth

Undercurrents: from ‘Making a City’ to ‘Being a City’

Three new layers of complexity:

• Inter-disciplinary

• Explosion of partnerships

• Fluid development processes

Consequences: market trends

Immense changes in different markets:

• Shopping > internet, experience – shopping environments

• Working > Co-working, crafts, knowledge / creative economy, footloose/megapolisation, experience – working environments

• Dwelling > singles, silver market, energy, quality, shrinkage, footfall, experience – housing environments

• Social > care and education as new motors, new partnerships, integrated concepts, experience – interaction environments

From end-visions to catalysing

From project to programme

From complicated to complex

Complicated• Mechanic thinking• Acting on• World that consists of

predictable outcomes and results

• Moon landing: many steps with a lot of detail and the possibility of erros, but we know how it works if we stick to the plan

• Cutting up larger problems into smaller ones

Complex• Relational thinking• Acting with• World that

acknowledges and adresses uncertainty

• Raising a child: learning and adapting on a day-to-day experience. We co-evolve in our relationship with the evolving object.

• Addressing the complex as a whole, intuition and sensing

From “Order” to “Chaos & Order & Chaos & …”

Complexity: new management concepts

Issues have become ‘untamable’: organic systems(But also a very human longing for ‘tamability’)

New management concepts:1. Steering by variation and selection: no pushing or forcing,

but folllowing and adding energy to initiatives that match your ambitions

2. Synchronicity: development by co-evolution, the inter-action of subsystems

3. Self-organisation: no more top-down but energy that comes from within systems

Complexity: new management concepts

New methods:

• Double think• Heterogenous networks• Network leadership in stead of focus leadership• Attractors, ‘dot on the horizon’• Creative competition• „Wer begeistern will, muss auch selbst begeistert sein“

Urban development after the crisis

Some misconceptions

• Urban development ≠ Construction

• Shrinkage ≠ Standstill / demolition

• Urban regeneration ≠ Demolition - construction

Urban development after the crisis

New fundaments

1. Developmental maintenance & management

2. The Natural Frequency

3. The well-understood interest

4. New Social Business cases

Urban development after the crisis

New professionals

Old skills
