The town is an organism created and driven by people. The complexity of the problems arising from it poses a challenge to those in positions of responsibility. Oswald and Baccini seek to bring clarity to the web of urban phenomena. They present a highly original model which draws together the two separate fields of architecture and science by considering architecture and urban planning from the scientific perspective. In four main chapters, topics such as new urbanism, the net city, designing with the net-city method, sustainability, renovation, conversion, and responsibility are explored in detail. The examples presented all derive from Switzerland, but the analyses and methodology is valid for any region or country. The theory is complemented by attractive visual material. Franz Oswald is Professor of Architecture and Design, Peter Baccini is Professor of Resource and Waste Management (both at Zurich ETH).

The world's burgeoning cities are a critical fact of the 21st Century - and represent one of the greatest challenges to the future. By the year 2050 cities with populations over three million will more than double from 70 today to over 150. The authors in this book claim that contrary to conventional wisdom, that cities distort natural processes, just the opposite is true. Cities are far more than the sinks of energy, vast drains of natural resources, and obstacles to sustainable development. Properly managed, they claim, cities can be transformative arenas in which raw materials may be rationally and economically developed to support people decently, and whole regions sustainably. This volume provides new ideas for managing the mega-cities of our future. The editors' goal is to shape a new way of thinking about mega-cities - one that promotes their function in modern societies as engines of the ideas, technologies, and loci of political will needed to build a new regime of global sustainability.

Transdisciplinary Research (TR) is an emerging field in the knowledge society for relating science and policy in addressing issues such as new technologies, migration, and public health. This handbook provides a structured overview of the manifold experiences gained in these fields. In the first part, 21 projects from all over the world present their research approaches. In the second part, cross-cutting challenges of TR are discussed in reference to the same projects.

"The post-industrial disintegration of urban form caused consternation during the latter half of the 20th century. The spatial organisation of the city seemed to be splintering into confusion. From this viewpoint, the breaking up of the hierarchy decentralisation appeared as a weakness and failure of regulation. The immediate reaction, in accordance with prevailing doctrines, was to increase regulation. When it materialised that there had been irrefutable changes in urban development, there were attemps to describe the new urban reality with various loose metaphors, such as collage, mosaic, archipelago, chaos, etc. In their own way these metaphors made it easier to perceive the new urban reality, although they were not able to explain development. Explanations of greater operational value arrived in the 1990s when new interpretations began to arise simultaneously from many different sources. In this book two such ways of explaining the urban reality are discussed in detail, the concept of Zwischenstadt by Thomas Sieverts and Netzstadt by Franz Oswald and Peter Baccini. The discussion is framed firstly by the question of how metaphors are substantiated in both the philosophy of science and hermeneutics, and secondly by the historic model of the Garden City, which still today is often defended as an ideal in urban planning."--P. 4 cover.

An overview of the cultural evolution of material flows and stocks with an emphasis on the design of metabolic processes in urban systems. Over the last several thousand years of human life on Earth, agricultural settlements became urban cores, and these regional settlements became tightly connected through infrastructures transporting people, materials, and information. This global network of urban systems, including ecosystems, is the anthroposphere; the physical flows and stocks of matter and energy within it form its metabolism. This book offers an overview of the metabolism of the anthroposphere, with an emphasis on the design of metabolic systems. It takes a cultural historical perspective, supported with methodology from the natural sciences and engineering. The book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners in the fields of regional development, environmental protection, and material management. It will also be a resource for undergraduate and graduate students in industrial ecology, environmental engineering, and resource management. The authors describe the characteristics of material stocks and flows of human settlements in space and time; introduce the method of material flow analysis (MFA) for metabolic studies; analyze regional metabolism and the material systems generated by basic activities; and offer four case studies of optimal metabolic system design: phosphorus management, urban mining, waste management, and mobility. This second edition of an extremely influential book has been substantially revised and greatly expanded. Its new emphasis on design and resource utilization reflects recent debates and scholarship on sustainable development and climate change.

Die "Stadt Schweiz" ist zum raumplanerischen Postulat geworden. Gleichzeitig ist sie Realität: Rund 70% der Bevölkerung leben in mehr oder weniger eng verbundenen städtischen Gebieten. Dabei ist das Verhältnis zur Stadt in der Schweiz durchaus ambivalent. Globale Verstädterungsprozesse überlagern die für unser Land typischen Formen der Urbanisierung. Diese Spannungsfelder auszuleuchten und zukunftsweisende planerische Handlungsfelder zu ergründen ist die Absicht dieses Buches. Über 60 Autorinnen und Autoren aus Praxis, Lehre und Forschung beziehen aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln Stellung. Sie äussern sich zu den Entwicklungsetappen der "Stadt Schweiz", zur Stadt in den verschiedenen Kulturräumen des Landes, zu Bedingungen der Stadt-Werdung, zur Frage nach neuen Stadt-Bildern und neuen Synergien von Stadt und Landschaft sowie zur Politik von Städtebau und Stadtentwicklung. Rezepte werden nicht angeboten, aber zahlreiche Anregungen für den Ausbau und die Entwicklung der Städte sowie ihre Vernetzung gegeben. Dabei wird es auf die Kooperation verschiedenster Disziplinen und Akteure ankommen. Das Buch wendet sich als aktuelles Lese-Buch an alle Stadt- und Planungsinteressierten.

Landbahnhöfe förderten Modernisierung, Beschleunigung und Mobilität. Sie galten als Eingangstore von Orten und fungierten als Zugang zur Welt, kurz: Sie waren Schnittstellen zwischen Stadt und Land. Gegenwärtig kämpfen viele ländliche Regionen mit Abwanderung, mangelnder Versorgung und dem Rückbau von Infrastrukturen. Die Situation der Landbahnhöfe steht hier paradigmatisch für repräsentative Gebäude, die leer stehen und verfallen. In einer zunehmend vernetzten Gesellschaft bilden sie ungenutzte Ressourcen. Anhand einer Neufokussierung und Neuaneignung ihrer architektonischen, räumlichen und strukturellen Potenziale entwickelt Maria Frölich-Kulik Umnutzungsstrategien, die eine nachhaltige Landschaftsentwicklung fördern.
