    About this ebook

    In 'The Evolving European City', renowned urban planner and architect Giuseppe Marinoni and eminent photographer Giovanni Chiaramonte assemble a breathtaking presentation of cities that have undergone profound change in order to combat congestion, pollution, and the unsightliness of industrial wastelands. Marinoni conveys a profound belief that unified urban plans under the direction of one creative vision can bring an enhanced quality of life to city dwellers, provide them with the means to move easily to and from home, work, and at the same time ensure environmental sustainability. Chiaramonte, through his exquisite photographs of sites in the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, France, Portugal, Italy, and the United Kingdom, offers readers visual evidence of the architectural and infrastructure accomplishments of European urban projects over the last two decades. Beautifully presented in eye-opening detail, The Evolving European City is a timely representation of environmental sustainability and social progress in the modern age.

      The Evolving European City - Amsterdam Zuidas - Giuseppe Marinoni

      Amsterdam

      Zuidas

      Location on the map

      Zuidas, a section of the Southern Axis – the expansion plane along the highways between Amsterdam South and Schiphol airport – marks the turning point in the building processes of the Netherlands’ cities and anticipates the developments in city building in Europe. During the 1980s, in the restoration of the existing city, density and infrastructure development was the core of the urban renewal program. Production upheavals and infrastructure reforms demanded a reorganization of disused (brownfield) sites and the waterfront.

      A different set of circumstances greets the Zuidas project. The radical change in urban policies, initiated by neoliberal orientations, puts pressure on the urban design metamorphosis, raises fundamental questions, and leaves its mark on future developments. Overturning the previous tendency towards centralization, new expansions and forms of centrality outside the city are anticipated. The emphasis is placed on the economic optimization of the urban construction operations, satisfying the expectations of the current forms of real estate financialization. The infrastructures, interpreted in neo-Keynesian optics, call for a driving force in the relaunch of investments: if the issue of urban reform first occurred in association with the infrastructure reorganization,
