HERITAGE AND HISTORYcan teach and PROVE
THAT
A PARADIGMIS NEEDED
A PARADIGM
1. It has been alive during centuries in europe and america as a reference for the foundations of new cities
2. Was part of the collective thought
IS AN OPEN MODEL
Chinese cities need to DEAL with some additional and
very complex issues
SIZE
DENSITY&
SOIL
BUT
CITIZENS NOT ALWAYS LIKE TO LIVE IN
COMPACT CITIES WITH VERY HIGH SKYSCRAPERS, AWAY FROM THE
LAND,FRIENDS AND FAMILIES.
CHINESE Heritage and history, provide the answers for future challenges
1. The city is NOT an architecture project neither an environmental experiment.
CITIES
ARE a political and sociological paradigm which should focus on people .
2. A paradigm should be defined based on basic principles and leading to a frame legislation.
3. World Heritage cities, as well as historic cities, could serve as reference
4. The cultural DNA and identity should be identified and promoted.
By this the compromise and participation of the citizens will be reinforced.
5. The city should be designed developing the neighbourhood concept: common areas, local markets, multipurpose spaces where people can gather.
6. All citizens should be entitled to the same rights.
7. A regular non speculative housing market needs to be organized.
8. The state should provide entry level finance for people with the least resources.
Manhattan´s solutions are not right for China´s society
Chinese citizens have deep family roots and values
Manhattan´s solutions are not that of China´s societyAnd a strong sense of community
The street is a common and vibrant area where live takes place
Trade and houses have an intimate relationship
And Chinese society has a special liking to make life in society
And it has been like this as long as China´s milenary history
These are all part of an intangible value to be preserved
