Sehr geehrte Lesende
Die urbane Resilienz beschäftigt uns dermassen, dass wir Ihnen gleich sieben Artikel zumuten. Wählen Sie zwischen Verkehrsgleichgewicht durch Home office, Zürichs urbanen Codes, Verdichtungs-Akzeptanz, Transport-Infrastruktur-Planung, wie Antigone antifragil Verkehrsüberlastungen verhindert sowie homogenen urbanen Landschaften. Was auch immer Sie lesen, schauen Sie sich am Ende die Bilder an im spannenden Artikel zum Landschaftsarchitekten Günther Vogt.
Wir wünschen viel interessantes Lesevergnügen.
Sanna Kattenbeck | History and Theory of Urban Design, Prof. Dr. Tom Avermaete
The city of Zurich is a testament to the incredible power of urban codes and their influence on urban form. From the mid-nineteenth onwards, these codes, such as building laws, norms, standards, or even municipal constitutions, shaped and reshaped the city into what it is today. The research project ’City of Codes’ explores how these urban codes, though often highly technical in nature, can be understood as a ‘hidden project’ for the city.

Johann S. Schuur & Yves M. Räth | Planning of Landscapes and Urban Systems (PLUS), Prof. Dr. Adrienne Grêt-Regamey
Look around you – what do you see? Unique urban landscapes with specific characteristics, identities, and landmarks? Or homogenous urban landscapes repeating similar shapes, materials, colours, and functions? Currently, homogeneity dominates the day-to-day realities of the European population, of which 74% already lives in urban landscapes. Homogeneity is the result of urban development pathways that are resilient to change and lead to the same – undesired – outcomes over and over. Hence, resiliency is not solely a positive concept when it locks us into unsustainable urban development preventing the transformation to more desirable urban realities.
