smart city, related to urban vitality and social capital
DESCRIPTION
Understanding the physical preconditions for urban vitality, smart urban development and social capital to make cities sustainTRANSCRIPT

explaining whyTo know the path is to rule the system
Urban Vitality
is based on
an effective inter-relation between
spatial, economical and social urban systems

whyUrban Vitality
derives from the capacity of cities
to maintain their spatial conditions for urban quality
throughout a constant process of conscious re-validation
for societal innovation
spatial transition and flexibility in time
the worldGlobal threats local impacts
Extreme diaspora to Urban areas specifically harbour city’s
6.5 milliard now, 9 milliard in the near future
2% of surface is urban, needing 75% of all sources
300.000 people a day coming to cities
Extreme unbalance and concentration of people
More people inside this circle than outside
Extreme geographical flow’s, production is footloose
Knowledge is sustain
Extreme youth -15 | 24- unemployment up to 23,5%
Drain of social kapital
Extreme differences in democratic & economic systems
(Un) Predictable players
Extreme unbalance in access to food, water and minerals
There is a BIG slow war going on in 25 area’s, political powers using religion as leverage
The Netherlands second biggest export of vegetables in the world
Global treats for world peace
Extreme differences in human rights and emancipation
Secularisation versus democracy
Extreme differences in perception about income and wealth
1% has 40% of wealth
what we consider ideal what we think the truth
Extreme spatial separation & social-economic segregation
Income differences, 1 to 400……… the gap between the elite and the common people
Need reflection & actualisation of the concept of:
liberté - égalité - fraternité
Extreme waste of natural resources, related to extended land use
The paradigm of individualism, collectivism and totalitarianism
the cityGlobal paradigms, local impacts
Extreme urban expansion & physical fragmentation
Physical en functional divisions, socio economic fragmentation
Extreme loss of socio-economic support basis in public domain
The price for adapting a non-generic urban planning doctrine
New centre of Saint-Dié based on CIAM rules and historical centre of Parma
Extreme decrease of value of public space and private property

Diminishing economic support basis in daily urban system
Extreme loss of local values due to global financial derivatives
Financial perversion on derivatives 550.000 billion SWAPS yearly, 550.000.000.000.000400 billion SWAPS per day, 400.000.000.000
Perversion of our liberal society

195020182008
rise and fall of collective governance
transitionThe assignment for a vital society in the 21th century
is urgent on three levels of interest
The balance between individualism en collectivism:
About learning to live with uncertaintyAbout interactions between our virtual, mental en physical worldAbout less ownership and more sharingAbout more the bottom up and less top down
Need to focus on:
Individual development | consciousnessMaking choices | giving place | connecting | quality of the city Societal awareness | participation | local societyLocal collectivism | sharing power | ownership
The assignment for a vital society 3.0
2013 Based on Prof. Jan Rotmans
The importance of, sustainable value capturing;
About co-creation and circular processAbout community based business en social cost benefits
Need to focud on:
Bounding and bridging of values in time and space | transparency | political consensusLocale coordination of investments | making value creation physical
The assignment for a vital society 3.0
The quest for, Quality of life:
About the value of lifeAbout trust in society and here leadersAbout room for individual identity and ideasAbout freedom of being
Need to focus on:
Personal reflection | mindfulness | daily urban system | locale identityEmpowerment | re-democratization | transparencies | citizenshipIntegration | validation | community building | empowermentCommunity | safety | being in charge
The assignment for a vital society 3.0
Resume:
Guarding the quality of:
The liberal democracyThe sharing welfare and ideasThe societal participation and social capitalThe inter-connection of virtual, mental en physical content of lifeThe implementation of circular economyThe integration of smart and clean technology
The assignment for a effective and vital society 3.0
whyUrban Vitality
is a precondition
for socio-economic value capturing
essential for
social capital, socio economic benefits & good citizenship
smart cityTo know the path is to rule the system
whySmart cities, urban vitality
statementUrbanVitality is an essential precondition
for the socio-economic existence of the smart city
Smart economy is about
The innovation of society
Smart flows and places for the daily urban system
Smart Cities are key elements in world economy
They derive from multiple flows of values
facilitated through concentrated networks of smart people
through socio-economic coincidence & confrontation
through economic synergy & creative thinking
Smart people make Vital Cities
Smart people like and need smart Cities

whatSpatial urban rules are about
our ‘daily urban system’, the ‘time-space’ budget
Its about context
knowing where you are

Its about motive
understanding why

whatParameters for urban vitality
Parallel urban networks for variation of flows
providing socio-economic coincidence & support on urban places
Parallel contra Serial urban networks
Serial URBAN system by planning like New Towns
Weak support basis
Parallel URBAN system by organic developmentlike Amsterdam

Parallel contra Serial urban networks
Facilitating the overlap for socioeconomic encounter and social cost benefits
Connecting the top –global- and the bottom –local- urban network by aINTRA net, connecting supply & demand
Supporting socio-economic demands byphysical connections, immediate context and precondition for FLOWS & PLACES
Smart technology for urban life and quality of vital cities
Variation of places, anchor points- shopping streets and malls, - parks,- squares, - harbours - sport facilities etc
Support basis - multifunctional densities on private domain and- intense use on public domain
Condensed spatial conditions on the parallel system
Variation of flows- streets, - alleys, - boulevards - (park) lanes, - canals etc
Variation of flows in a parallel urban network

In The Hague these destinations comprise: (1) the coastal area; (2) the beach and the pier of Scheveningen; and (3) the city centre with the Parliament buildings, the city squares and shopping area, the tram tunnel, the City Hall and the theatre area.
In Delft these are: (4) the connection across the highway to IKEA, the recreation area of the "Delftse Hout" and the connection to the dwelling areas of Pijnacker. Further along the line lies the landscape area of "Midden Delfand" (Central Delfland)
And eventually in Rotterdam there can be found: (5)Aeroport, "Blijdorp" Zoo; (6) the City Hall with a number of squares including the cultural area around the "Doelen"; (7) the new "Koopgoot" shopping area; (8) the river fronts, the "Maasbrug" (Meuse Bridge) and "Maasboulevard" Meuse Boulevard) and the recentdevelopments on the "Kop van Zuid" pensinsula; (9) the "Zuidplein" (South Square) as centre of Rotterdam South; and eventually (10) the landscape area south of Rotterdam.
