There is a task for planners and designers to develop
new design tools and methods as a need for effective design
in practices and processes of multi stakeholder alliances.
Urban design and building typology
must allow

statement 2010 Rotterdam
Changing perspectives
Urban design in general has been accepted as key to a better urban
environment. However as we move on, urban design should evolve to create
public space and design to accommodate urban living of
greater sustainability.
Urban design and building typology
must allow
definition of
space ownership and building ownership
in much more flexible ways.

In new scenarios created by complex interactions between stakeholders, Rotterdam
2010
Changing perspectives
public space is the result of complex negotiations that need to be
managed using tools such as:
a. Concept plans and formulas for urban area.
b. System designs for sustainability.
c. Strategic Master plans and definition of Strategic Projects
d. Prototypes of building/ program concepts
And so on..
It is common sense that all parties need each other to realise sustainable
urban space for sustainable urban life of people together.
This ambition is an exciting one meanwhile a never-ending story, the
ever ongoing story of the shared desire that is the vital power for
successful future value.
Urban APPs and ArchAPPs do organise people’s freedom to participate in
the planning and designing of New Urban Forms
while realizing projects together without having to share everything?
How will this be relevant for further practical experiment as well as for
theoretical study?

60. DELTA CITY OF THE FUTURE
International Design Competition
statement 2010 Rotterdam
Changing perspectives
It is the actual need for more sustainable solutions of spatial
problems that raises the ultimate new urban question.
And still, the need for more sustainable solutions of spatial problems
is primarily a fundamental social economical problem
to be reflected on by urban planners and designers
when (re)shaping cities and when calculating urban projects
for the metropolitan.
We notice that urban design culture is shifting
towards a culture of
designing for smart urban life,
eventually..
