Creative Cities - Science topic

Dear Dr.Taher,

People today expect cities to be livable, cultural hubs with sustainable lifestyles. Interest in urban planning and development is growing in this setting. This curiosity has given rise to a new perspective on the goals and operations of cities. Cities should be enjoyed more as "culture havens" than as just places to live. To fulfill these desires, cities can be developed and renewed through cultural planning. Cultural planning has been a concept for more than 30 years, and many city planners are familiar with it. The goal is to involve locals in the planning process of how they want their cities to be, rather than just creating spaces where people can display art or host other cultural activities. Speaking with residents of the city or region where cultural planning will begin will help with this. In order to better understand the local cultural environment, this fosters cooperation between local residents and communities. Urban social innovation strategies, among other things. Interactions between citizens and cities are at the heart of everything. All members of a community will participate in the development of their city under this model, but the process will mostly be cultural rather than political. In order to improve living conditions, people from various political perspectives can come together. This actually occurs, and individuals have come together at the local level in their desire to better people's quality of life.

Dear Leila,

Yes, I agree with your thesis that the development of smart cities will significantly improve people's quality of life, because modern infrastructure and amenities mean fewer development, system and infrastructural constraints. In my opinion, the development of smart cities should take into account the implementation of the principles of environmental policy, sustainable development goals and the green circular economy. Therefore, the development of modern cities should follow the model of sustainable, pro-environmental smart cities.

Thank you very much,

Best wishes,

Dariusz

In Europe, temporary use as planning tool is best represented by two architectural practices: aaa and KARO Architekten. Some articles: http://www.urbantactics.org/publications/publications.html
