# Creative City
Why a creative city is more sustainable city?
-

Quick adapt
New ideas (how to use the city)
Blend new ideas with the city design

# Creativity
-

Not only new but also interesting;


Hard to be described;
Artistic and Scientific;
New combination of an old idea;
Creativity is related to value

# Creativity Experience
-

Something you feel intensively

# What makes a city creative?


-

Not only class, milieu but also its local creativity.

The professor showed a few examples of creative city and


my favorite one was a road in San Francisco, USA where
there were many rainbow flags.

# Why creative city is more sustainable?


-

The reuse, recycling and redefinition makes a more


sustainable city
Second hand culture
Reuse
Creativity and consumption

#Theory of place
Space is transformed into place as it acquires definition and
meaning.

Urban Regeneration
#Regeneration: Recreate damage tissue
-

Urban Tissue: Damages after war or industrialization.


*Damage: Population lost, buildings, etc.

# Renewal Redevelopment
- Areas are rebuilt to improve the physical environment
# Conservation
- Keep a building or a place so as to retain its aesthetics,
cultura, historic or scientific.
# Urban Conservation
- Authenticity
- New wood? New bricks? Does it make it conserved or a new
version?
- Conservation/restoration/innovation
# Benefits of Reuse of Buildings
- Gentrification: The area is being improved by people that
lives there.
- As an example the area in the movie Nothing Hill in
London.
- New york The loft
- Paris New concepts stores
Embodied Energy: The energy to build a building.
#Concept of European City
-

Wall around wall: City grows around wall, wall stays center.
Many small streats/lanes: No sunlight, bad air, unhealthy.
Health issue in the city: city needs fresh air, sunlight and
sanitary system.
Paris splits into 20 areas.
Old railway roads are reused and get a new social use.

TOD
-

Benefits of TOD (high environmental performance, reduces


greenhouse effets)
Mixed income TOD (relieves gentrification)

# 3 Principles of TOD
- Growth guided by expansion of transit and more compact
urban form
- Discard singles zoning uses and replace with mixed-use
- Walkable neighborhoods
# Principles of transit-oriented development
- Walkability
- Mixed use/ mixed house
- Quality architecture and urban design
- Density
- Sustainability
- Vernacular architecture
# Living
-

in a communal area
Many families close to each other, helping each other.
Japan: High roof, protect against cold and heat.
Ice glue: Temperature inside and outside differs in about 30
C (inside 15 C). Human inside warm up with body
temperature and ice inside melts a little bit so it sticks
together.
Santorini: White building, small window, thick walls.
Thailand: Houses on sticks, expecting flood.

# Guide for bioclimatic design


- Select the side according to microclimatic criteria
- Control solar radiation
- Regulate air circulation
* Nowadays these points are a bit forgotten and people use air
conditioning, which is not good for the environmental.
# Settlement planning
- Topography, orientation (sun and wind impact), wind
(required ventilation), hazards (safety).

Case Study Melbourne, The most livable city


Livable City: Human scale, work +live.
Melbourne: In the last 20 years it was all made livable, before it was
a bad place to live. 605411 people moved to Melbourne in the last 9
years.
How did they achieve this?
- CBD empty at night: What to do? Bring people to move inside the
grid, creat more apartment and floors, increase density.
- 2 universities in the city center: Students are active, use space,
create life, open campus all over the city.
- Improve sheets: Space design, parks, gardens, river.
- Make people connect to parks and gardens.
- Create art, small lanes (caf, restaurants).
- Lanes in Melbourne changed in 20 years, from service lanes to
creative ones.
- 39% increase of public life day and 98% increase during the night.

Sustainable City
#Footprint
- How many earths we need if we lived like USA: 4,1 planets.
- If we keep living like we are right now we would need 1,5
planets!
- My footprint in Japan was 1,9 planets, my footprint in Brazil
was 1,2 planets.
# Sustainable Development
(Enviromental + Social + Economic)
-> Act local Think Global
#Dimension of Urban Sustainability
-

Land use (urban design)


Transportation
Urban ecology and Restoration
Energy and Material Usage
Enviromental justive and social equity
Economic development
Green architecture and building

The compact city:


- Distribution of densities to allow economically viable mass
transport Systems
- Accessible, efficiant, affortable transport systems
- Sufficient mix of uses in every node to allow easy access to jobs
and facilities
- Sustainable designed nodes
