The City at Eye Level – Second and Extended version

English
Public space quality is the backbone of a sustainable city. Great streets, places where you intuitively want to stay longer, human scale interaction between buildings and streets, ownership by users, placemaking and good plinths (active ground floors) and a people-centred approach based on the user’s experience - that is what The City at Eye Level is all about. It is a book, an open source learning network, and a programme for improving cities, streets and places all over the world. The second edition was written by over 80 co-authors, edited by Stipo and put together in partnership with UN Habitat, Future of Places, Gehl Architects, PPS Project for Public Spaces, the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of PUCRS - Porto Alegre, and Copenhagenize. With the knowledge as fundament, we help cities and their partners to develop strategies to create and improve their own great City at Eye Level. With our local and worldwide network partners, we
  • set up rules and strategies for new city development;
  • help change existing streets and districts;
  • set up place and plinth games to co-create with the local network;
  • set up street coalitions and place management;
  • give public lectures and organize training programmes and master classes.

The City at Eye Level in the Netherlands

English
The quality of public space is the backbone of a sustainable city. Great streets, places where you intuitively want to stay longer, interaction between buildings and streets on a human scale, ownership by users, placemaking and good plinths (active ground floors) and a people-centred approach based on the user’s experience – that’s what The City at Eye Level is all about. It’s a book, an open-source learning network and a programme for improving cities, streets and places all over the world. This edition focuses on recent examples in the Netherlands. This book consists of close to 40 stories. It was written in cooperation with cities, developers and other practitioners. Using the knowledge we gathered for our book and in our other projects as foundation, we help cities and their partners to develop strategies to create or improve their own great city at eye level. In addition to being part of the worldwide and European open-source learning network, we have also started a dedicated Dutch network focusing on developments in the Netherlands.

De stad op ooghoogte in Nederland

De stad op ooghoogte in Nederland

Nederlands
De kwaliteit van de publieke ruimte is de basis voor een duurzame stad. Duurzame steden hebben plekken waar je graag langer wilt verblijven. Menselijke maat, prettige publieke ruimte, goede plinten en interactie tussen gebouwen en straten zijn belangrijk.  Duurzame steden zijn plekken waar mensen willen wonen maar waar mensen ook een eigen bijdrage aan kunnen leveren. Dit zijn de zaken waar het bij de stad op ooghoogte om draait. De stad op ooghoogte is een boek, een open-source kennisnetwerk en een programma voor het verbeteren van steden, straten en plekken over de hele wereld. Met als aanleiding Placemaking Week Amsterdam verzamelden we bijna 40 verhalen van academici, steden, ontwikkelaars, ‘zealous nuts’ en anderen over hoe Nederlandse partijen werken aan het creëren van betere steden en goede publieke ruimtes. Wij gebruiken de gegaarde kennis door middel van ons boek als basis van onze projecten, wij helpen steden en zijn partners bij het maken van strategieën voor het ontwikkelen of verbeteren van hun eigen goede stad op ooghoogte. The City at Eye Level is een Europees en wereldwijd open-source kennis netwerk, maar recentelijk spenderen wij weer meer aandacht aan het Nederlandse netwerk, gericht op de ontwikkelingen in Nederland.

De Stoep: ontmoeting tussen huis en straat

De Stoep: ontmoeting tussen huis en straat

Nederlands
De stoep is waar een prettige en gezonde stad begint. De stoep is een overgangsgebied tussen huis en straat waar sociale contacten tussen bewoners plaatsvinden en de uitstraling van de straat voor een belangrijk deel wordt bepaald. Een succesvolle stoep ontstaat echter niet zomaar. Vooral niet nu overheden en woningcorporaties zich bezinnen op hun taken en meer en meer wordt gevraagd van andere partijen en bewoners. De stoep laat zien dat deze ontwikkelingen juist voor de overgangsgebieden in de stad nieuwe kansen bieden. Aan de hand van interviews, casestudies in binnen- en buitenland, essays en een analyse van ruim 6.000 Rotterdamse straten beschrijft dit boek de drijfveren van mensen om van de stoep een eigen plek te maken. Het toont de invloed ervan op het sociale contact en de privacy en de gevolgen voor het straatbeeld.

OUR CITY? Countering Exclusion in Public Space

OUR CITY? Countering Exclusion in Public Space

English
It’s no secret that cities are booming. They continue to attract the world’s top talent, stimulate the economy, act as hubs of innovation, and remain the cultural melting pots of all nations. Yet, we must ask the question, do the inhabitants of our ever-popular cities really feel at home in them? Furthermore, are the public places within a city really even, ours? How can we ensure that public spaces truly represent and serve the people who live near them and use them? In this book we feature a range of cases that explore how exclusion in public space is being countered across Europe. We present research insights, local stories, tools, and actions, from a variety of dierent voices, to provide you with a clear understanding of what is needed to maintain a sense of belonging in our cities’ public places. We also show how actively working with the local community, from engagement through to design, can change the way urban spaces are created and activated, particularly by reaching out to and encouraging participation from those voices that often go unheard. "OUR CITY? Countering Exclusion in Public Space" is the first Placemaking Europe publication, by STIPO Publishing.
