A NEW URBAN WAVE - THE PARK CITY

Doina Mira Dascalu

Abstract


Despite multiple meetings and declarations on the need to assure an ecological projection to the science of urbanism, it must be agreed that we seem unable to reach an agreement on the requirements of such projection.
Today, there are some new urban waves which seem to take into consideration a noticeable need of a true ecological consciousness among urbanists and architects.
An urban area that some scientist call “diffuse city†needs to be ensure with adequate levels of urban comfort, suitability and safety.
The basic idea of the park city is to allow nature to penetrate into the diffuse city and give it form. The difficulties of these areas offers a huge opportunity to implement advanced technologies for building a safe and sane environment, for working on environmental healing, protection and conservation.
For the architecture and urbanism, the respect for the nature remain the most important factor which will cure and prevent all the disasters created by human beings ignorance and materialism. Looking closely to the history urban examples, it seems to be very clear the fact that the town is substantial dependent of the nature.
The future will show us the results of the application of this new urban wave of park-cities.
