- W1845758521 abstract "Metropolitan Landscapes: Attitudes, Research and Practice Thomas Sieverts Today two-thirds of the German population lives and works in an urbanized landscape of “cities without cities.” Nevertheless, governments, schools of architec- ture and planning, practitioners, and the media still cling to the image of the compact “old European city.” Start- ing with the European Heritage Year in 1975, this image of an idealized, compact town has blurred the reality of our metropolitan landscape for a generation. Recently, a new discussion has emerged about the transformation of European cities into urbanized regions. In Italy this city of regional dimensions is a focus of work by Bernardo Secchi. In France it is the subject of Francois Ascher’s “Metapolis.” And in Germany I have offered the idea of “Zwischenstadt”—now translated into English as “Cities Without Cities,” and French as “Entre Ville.” The present discussion coincides with a new demo- graphic phenomenon: for the first time since the Thirty Years War and the pestilence-epidemics of the Middle Ages, the population of European cities is shrinking. This fact poses new challenges. Urban planning up to now has predominantly been geared toward managing growth. Today, considerable uncertainty exists about how to handle the new phenomenon of shrinkage. Two contrasting attitudes dominate the discus- sion. For some, the undetermined future appears as a dark room full of fear about further destruction of the compact European city and the old cultural landscapes that surrounded it. This attitude is incorporated in a movement longing for a “timeless classicism,” whose goal is to urbanize the new metropolitan landscape with traditional forms. I called this the “backwards-oriented avant-garde.” Others believe that the uncertainty of the situation can be understood more optimistically, like a landscape filled with “bright mist,” announcing the promise of a glorious day. Indeed, if one leaves the old prejudices behind, the metropolitan landscape can be seen as a field of opportu- nities. Such an open-ended view imagines a “terra incog- nita,” in need of fresh views and new creativity. Sieverts / Attitudes, Research and Practice" @default.
