WHAT IS URBAN?

What is like the city built from scratch by the original design of single architect? How accurate does the concept predict the way city will develop in the future, and what kind of strategy do the local authorities establish in order to control this development?

PIMP MY CITY




contemporary cities are losing their initial individualities and characteristics. they are becoming similar and faceless. 

the layers of traditional cities are multiplied by major transport interchanges, the skylines are raised up to the level of skyscrapers, new neighborhoods are built, where the size of a single dwelling is similar to the size of slum district around the corner. 

we often feel as strangers in our cities, no longer getting along with its scale and appearance

architecture is a tool, which has all the potentiality to control the development of the city to a direction of preserving and upgrading the specificity of the city.
