6th biennal
of town and urban planners, june 2005
This international biennal took
place in Copenhagen (Dk). A few days before,
Urban Task Force invited urban planners, artists,
journalists and sociologists to think about "How street
creativity can enrich city living?". We were about 20
to discuss about it, to search for solutions that could help the
inhabitants to take part in the evolution of the public space of
their surrounding (events, changing architectures...). |
Those intensiv times
gave some concrete results that we presented at the end of the biennal.
Two profesionnals were invited to comment our works. One of them
is the official architect of Copenhagen. He was very glad to hear
about our good intentions to involve the inhabitants in urban planners
projects. But quieckly he said that reality was really different.
In fact, it was true that our utopian ideas about town planning
were contrasting with most of the projects presented at the biennal.
He concluded that town planning was more
like "a war to impose your idea". So, Mads Bech Paluszewski,
one of the participants, asked him "who you think your are
pointed your weapon at when you speak about war?"... The debat
stopped here.
The next biennal, in 2007 will take place in... Budapest!
