Vacant City shuttles between the issue of vacant structures in today's cities, the role of culture in urban planning, and the changing significance of the museum. It also inaugurates an innovative planning process which submits to the cultural event Brussels 2000, European City of Culture, a research programme on city development models. It offers a fascinating insight into the particular problems and history of Brussels' Mont des Arts as urban site. The research methods used in the project are urban analysis and urban history, architectured theory and cultural philosophy, but above all design and programming. Internationally renowned architects like Atelier Seraji, João Luis Carrilho Da Graça, Design + Urbanism, Max. 1 & Crimson, and Riken Yamamoto & Field Shop, and cultural critics and philosophers such as Catherine David, Isabelle Graw, Hilton Judin and Bart Verschaffel produced at the behest of Brussels 2000 spatial as well as development concepts for the Mont des Arts, which are extensively documented and analysed in this publication.

"The management of industrial heritage sites requires rethinking in the context of urban change, and the issue of how to balance protection, preservation/conservation, and development becomes all the more crucial as industrial heritage sites grow in number. This brings into play new challenges--not only through the known conflicts between monument preservation and contemporary architecture, but also with the increasing demand for economic urban development by reusing the built heritage of former industrial sites. This book explores the conservation and change of industrial heritage sites in transformation, presenting and examining ten European and Asian case studies. The interdisciplinary approach of the book connects a diversity of rationales and discourses, including monument protection, World Heritage conventions, urban regeneration, urban planning and design, architecture, and politics. This is the first book to deepen the understanding of industrial heritage site management as a networked, multi-dimensional task involving diverse social agents and societal discourses. "--

"The Scottish urbanist and biologist Patrick Geddes (1854-1932) is perhaps best known for introducing the concept of the "region" to architecture and planning. At the turn of the twentieth century, he was one of the strongest advocates of town planning and an active participant in debates about the future of the city. He was arguably the first planner to recognize the importance of historic city centers, and his renewal work in Edinburgh's Old Town is visible and impressive to this day." "Geddes's famous analytical triad - place, work, and folk, corresponding to the geographical, historical, and spiritual aspects of the city - provides the basic structure of this examination of his urban theory. Volker Welter examines Geddes's ideas in the light of nineteenth-century biology - in which Geddes received his academic training - showing Geddes's use of biological concepts to be far more sophisticated than popular images of the city as an organic entity. His urbanism was informed by his lifelong interest in the theory of evolution and in ecology, cutting-edge areas in the late nineteenth century. Balancing Geddes's biological thought is his interest in the historical Greek concept of the polis, usually translated as city-state but implying a view of the city as a cultural and spiritual phenomenon." "Although Geddes's work was far-ranging, the city provided the unifying focus of nearly all of his theoretical and practical work. Throughout the book, Welter relates Geddes's theory of the city to contemporary European debates about architecture and urbanism."--Jacket.
