“The tendency to think that a city can build itself out of decline is an example of the edifice error, the tendency to think that abundant new buildings leads to urban success. Successful cities typically do build, because economic vitality makes people willing to pay for space and builders are happy to accommodate. But building is the result, not the cause of success…” -Edward Glaeser
Just Enough for the City
Friday, October 15th, 2010The Syracuse University School of Architecture (SoA) celebrated city life this week at the Formerly Urban (Projecting Rust Belt Futures) Symposium. Speakers from Syracuse, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Toronto and Paris discussed depopulation, prairie urbanism, redefining district identities, and new structures to activate urban life.
SoA Dean Mark Robbins said architects should harness the drive of commerce for the betterment of our cities and create incentives to do better (design, planning) work.
