Lecture: Revitalization as an urban strategy

If the city is an organism, the new expansions are as vital as the existing parts and the state of constant change is in their nature. Existing and new tissue will always strive to redefine a part of its identity and program, with the need to expand or contract. Growth and urban well-being cannot be conceived without urban revitalization. Urban revitalization, in addition to plans to condense or improve consolidated public spaces, includes a discussion of unclassified urban facts - such as informal production zones or passive interspaces awaiting adoption by individuals and groups of people in need of productive, cultural and recreational activities that they could not find. its place in the existing protocols of urban management, etc.

Following this reflection, the lecture intends to discuss examples of initiatives that strengthen quality urban conditions based on a careful reading of individual urban socio-urban dynamics as a whole, while creating a vision of its physical environment.

Lecture and discussion in English and Serbian.
