Name: THE FUTURE SUSTAINABLE CITY: ARCHITECTURE, URBANISM, NATURE AND SOCIETY: ARCHITECTURE AND SOCIOLOGY IN DIALOGUE
by Richard Levine & Heidi Dumreicher

Place: Union of Architects of Armenia
Date: 11th of October (thursday)
Time: 19:00
Entrance: free
Seats: limited
Language: english
Details: This presentation will deal with the quality of the city and of urban life and of how urban sustainability can emerge at the intersection of society, architecture, urbanism, the environment, the economy and a new concept of urban governance. The as yet unanswered challenge of the current generation is to solve the dilemma of how to manage and live in cities in a way that can continue into the future within the carrying capacity of the natural environment. There are many modern patterns that have developed in our existing cities, which work against that possibility. Drawing from history and the best of modern theory and practice, a visionary approach to the future sustainable city is presented. Starting with a set of theses about the social quality of towns together with an operational definition of sustainability, it will be shown how sustainability oriented life in the town develops from a combined effort of architecture, social, economic and ecological aspects, through a stakeholder participation process in order to complement more conventional governance processes.
