A City as Resilient Machine
Abstract
Public spaces are modelled by a dominant paradigm in a specific local milieu.
Contemporary theories, like collaborative ones, define a framework for a profession
to make improvements in everyday practice. However, power relations are sometimes
strictly defined and cannot be remodelled in the same tempo as the need for
investment realisation. We can say that participatory urban design needs time to
redesign power relations to implement consensual solutions. Furthermore, there is a
noticeable trend of places being designed more by power-over than power-to
(Dovey,1999). This is the case in Serbia nowadays. The profession is seeking to find
adequate methods that can substitute participatory ones to achieve sustainable places
that are greener, more sociable and more profitable. Having this in mind, the main
question of the research arises: Can the methods of space syntax theory replace
participatory methods in the regeneration of open public spaces? The hypothesis is
that the me...thods of space syntax need participatory ones to create more sustainable
places. The main thesis is that a city is a resilient machine. The aims of the research
are to prove that space can be a resilient machine if it is modelled with both space
syntax and participatory methods and to show that space syntax methods in place
creation can replace or support participatory ones when participation cannot be
realised. This research will use the methodology of theory comparison as well as case
study.
