Shared Space – the Creation of the City as Dialogue III
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: October 20, 2014, 19:00 – 21:00
A series of popularising evenings focused on the main paradigms in the creation of cities in the 21st century.
A moderated interview with distinctive figures selected according to the principle of complementary opposites. Two different fields, two different perspectives on the city, both relevant and important for the creation of the city. The third evening in the series will be given over to a dialogue between an architect and a developer.
New construction is a necessary condition for the development of every city. However, under what conditions should this occur? Do we need rules and regulations, or should everybody who possesses the necessary finance be allowed to build? Where does the investor’s responsibility end and that of the relevant municipal authority begin? How difficult is it to create original architecture in the context of the urban environment?
The evening is taking place in cooperation with the Prague Institute of Planning and Development.
