The American Institute of Architects (AIA) ha preparado un buen informe
sobre diferentes proyectos urbanos que demuestran cómo el diseño puede
favorecer procesos de innovación en la ciudad a través del urbanismo, la
participación ciudadana o la promoción económica.
Cities as a Lab: Designing the Innovation Economy demonstrates how design can foster innovative
approaches to the changing needs of American cities. The
world is increasingly urbanizing and cities and their wider metropolitan areas
are asserting themselves as a fundamental unit of the global economy. Cities
can thrive by building transformational places that incubate creativity and
adapt to future challenges and opportunities. Cities as a Lab explores the
design and policy choices now creating the great places of the future: urban
design interventions, visionary planning efforts, and public-private
partnerships. The fabric of the city, with its people, buildings, commerce, and
transportation networks, promotes relationship formation, business creation,
and game-changing ideas.
Cities as a
Lab: Designing the Innovation Economy shows how innovative
design is helping to strengthen the economy and spur invention in cities across
America. From district scale solutions that build the relationship
infrastructure to colocation that creates eco-systems for relationships to
germinate, design is transforming places and fostering connections in
imaginative new ways. City streets are being re-imagined and temporary
architecture is helping to revitalize dormant urban places, all while parklets
and alleyways are creating new public gathering spaces. People are learning
from one another in exciting new spaces, from robotic libraries to makerspaces
that spark inventions. Walls are being torn down as offices and houses are
reconfigured to meet future needs and realities. Ideas and energy are flowing,
because cities are the place to be, and great design serves as the critical
linchpin. Read Cities as a Lab to learn more.
