The way we look at cities is changing! For years cars have been one of the dominant actors in city planning and design. This resulted in some unwanted side effects like: unpleasant, non-human-scale design of streets and squares, reduced life quality and congested and polluting transport planning. Contrary a focus on designing for people and sustainable- active mobility raised the opportunity to cycle and walk what makes cities more vibrant, accessible, safer and with less noise and pollution.

Temporarily closing roads to motorised traffic is the same as opening them to people. The existing space is considerably expanded, space is used in a new way and often conquered in a playful way. The quality of life for city residents increases, the streets become a space for movement and living rooms. Temporary interventions in public space offer various possibilities to bring colorful life to streets and squares. There are no limits to the creative freedom. The number of interactions between people increases and the cohesion in the neighbourhood is strengthened.

 

20 gute Gründe für die Transformation von Straßen in Nachbarschaften

Graz, Austria
Tue 17.03.2020 15:00

In den letzten 60 Jahre war die Stadtplanung auf Autos fokusiert. Der Stadtraum als Bewegungs- und Aufenthaltsraum ist zu einem Verkehrsraum geworden. Bei diesem Übergang wurden die Kinder verdrängt; wie alles andere, was den motorisierten Verkehr behinderte. Stattdessen wurden spezielle Orte für Kinder errichtet: Spielplätze! Denn Spielen und Verweilen in ihrem Wohnumfeld war nicht mehr möglich. Die Straße war zu einem Raum voller Gefahren geworden, und sie ist es bis heute. Kinder werden heute darin geschult, wie sie in dieser Umgebung überleben können. Wir nennen das: Verkehrserziehung!

20 good reasons for street transformation in neighbourhoods

Graz, Austria
Thu 06.02.2020 10:00

Over the last 60 years the city planning was car focused. The human city space has become a room full of combustion-energy machines. In this transition, children were left behind; like everything else that interfered with the free flow of motorised traffic, they were cleared out of the way. Instead, special reservations for children were built. We call them playgrounds! Because playing and lingering in their living environment was no longer possible. The street had become a hostile space, full of fear and danger, and it still is today.
