 can teach and PROVE
         THAT
A PARADIGM
 IS NEEDED
A PARADIGM
       IS AN OPEN MODEL

1. It has been alive during centuries in
   europe and america as a reference
   for the foundations of new cities
2. Was part of the collective thought
Chinese cities need to DEAL with
    some additional and very
        complex issues
BUT
CITIZENS NOT ALWAYS LIKE TO LIVE IN
COMPACT CITIES WITH VERY HIGH
SKYSCRAPERS, AWAY FROM THE
 LAND,
FRIENDS AND FAMILIES.
CHINESE Heritage and
history, provide the answers for future
challenges
1. The city is NOT an architecture
   project neither an environmental
   experiment.

          CITIES

   ARE  a political and sociological
   paradigm which should focus
   onpeople .
2. A paradigm should be defined
   based on basic principles and
   leading to a frame legislation.
3. World Heritage cities, as well as
   historic cities, could serve as
   reference
4. The cultural DNA and identity
   should be identified and promoted.

   By thisthe compromise and
   participation of the citizens will be
   reinforced.
5. The city should be designed
   developing the neighbourhood
   concept: common areas, local
   markets, multipurpose spaces
   where people can gather.
6. All citizens should be entitled to the
   same rights.
7. A regular non speculative housing
   market needs to be organized.
8. The state should provide entry
   level finance for people with the
   least resources.
Manhattan s solutions are not right for
China s society
Chinese citizens have deep family
roots and values
Manhattan s solutions are not that of
China s society
And a strong sense of community
The street is a common and vibrant
area where live takes place
Trade and houses have an intimate
relationship
And Chinese society has a special
liking to make life in society
And it has been like this as long as
China s milenary history
These are all part of an intangible
value to be preserved
非常感谢
                  Thank you
