How to build people-friendly cities | Sebastian Schulze | TEDxMagdeburg


let’s catch it in the last one almost

100 years we have texts and

city ​​planner is unlearning philanthropic

cities to plan we have the use

Live work and relax separately

urban space optimized for the car and

forgotten from the view of a pedestrian

watch

the supposedly beautiful picture from above

So from the helicopter

that it looks good to us more important

as for the needs of the people

to be there

this is what we find in the example of magdeburg

do it to change that

but only have a short

look back in history

and at the time of

industrialization beginning of

nineteenth century to this

time it came to a strong

Rural escape ie the people are in the

City moved to find work there

and it came to a strong

population explosion the people

had to be partly inhumane

living conditions mean that it stinks

it was loud hygienic conditions

was catastrophic families usually had

live in a room together and

Families back then was not as small as

today that then ten people

and that’s why architects and

City planner in good thought how can

we the living conditions of the people

improve and have the beginning of the

twentieth century the settlement

developed the new bauen ie

they tried the technical

possibilities by the

industrialization

also to implement for the living

an example of this is one

Settlement will be the two settlement but

also the core i settlement or the

settlement in krakow another

but one also thought that step

one the disturbances of the individual use

must minimize each other that is

that we work that and that we live

disconnect and this was in the

charter of athens as ideal picture of the

isolated city

enshrined

in the further course of the story came

in addition to being said that that

car so the car-friendly city

another ideal picture is that means that

also the function of urban space

separates each other and that the car

take the most important part

should

due to extensive destruction

of the second world war we see here

a photo of magdeburg at the height of

Jakobstrasse after the wedding there was the

ideal ways to do this

ideal of car-friendly and functions

to separate city can implement

we only look 20 years and see

here the blocks of flats and the big ones

cities

Now I want to briefly a map

explain how that is

that means we have the city here

just from magdeburg with the elbe as

big flag river we have in

the west is essentially residential

Port with the founder time

but we northern irish open to

or wörthersee the production is

the work is on the

city ​​borders in the north and the south

the city

that means with red lake or too

with salbke and that recover

Interestingly, almost exclusively

in the east of the city that’s us

need to go over the vine with the city park

with the pollen park but also

other leisure activities with the

theater of the city had my or mine

also in the football stadium and portland

had caused very very wide

roads and these roads

we can not do that anymore with the

foot on foot and almost not at all

to cover the bike that is it

now there is a compulsory mobility and

we depend on the car

as a result the streets always became

further expanded

we see here the big diesdorfer str

we have little room for pedestrians

and only the car dominates

Last year we got through the

city ​​of magdeburg the possibility

get for this quarter so for

stadtwerke chef determined that

business road management for the

great to take the hofer road

and the first question we asked

how can we improve that?

So how can we help people?

give back street space and how

We may even have a seat

as an identification point for the

create people in the district

this year we have the

Road junction great this road

corner maxim gorki street selected and

have as a temporary action one

space locked for a weekend

and the response was overwhelming

People have this place

Assuming there was no car driving there

different ways like

appropriations we had a bobbycar

parcours

There were possibilities now

could drink a coffee or something

food and the people did not want

out more

the success was so overwhelming

even the traffic club germany

we approached it that’s as project

sample project now on your home page

presented on the internet but there were

also vote against

You can not put that down now either

Drop the table from traders

The fear was that if you if you

no more with the car through the

Magdeburger Straße can drive

that their customers stay away from you

gave evil hostility with unfortunately only

anonymous

I do not know what you saw

but I have a lot of potential

Scouting seen in the square

schönebeck is even a step

gone on the old market place of

Schöneberg I do not know who

one was reminded by a

big national road parts in the

last year this place became too

a so-called shared space

that means the rededicated

Functional separation was lifted

all road users have the

same rights there are no boarders

and one demarcation takes place

only the city furniture or

through trees and similar that has to

led the residents their place

accept again and not anymore

only as a traffic artery were these

Both shown examples work

so good because they are in one

founder time portier and to the other

uniform structure has been made

that means there is already a certain

Usage mixture available and also one

certain density but what do we do

the quartier of the modern the so

beautifully relaxed and green here

Here we see as an example

The Froebelstrasse

here there is only one and only

Function of living and there is also

much green

unfortunately we are allowed to do this

do not use green areas and they

Become a little inviting in part

they even shut off yes there are none

no no banks and is for

daily on quality

But I also see great potential

and export as you can see it is

a line farmers how would it be if you

Imagine that these lines

closes the head and thus closes

creates a private help and a

differentiation between the private

clear and the outside spaces and that

not just this closure

again with other apartments fills

but also with commercial offices or

maybe business documents

so could such private yards

they will become usable again

through the crowd

and on the other hand also public ones

Exterior spaces for everyone

Participants of the city are there last

greatest potential for magdeburg see

i but the theme of the connections we

have in the middle of downtown

a huge barrier and that the

railway tracks and the magdeburg ring

These two parts of our city

in two parts and there are only very

few possibilities to cut them

can last for a length of three

kilometers of two kilometers only

three points

this square at the hasselbachplatz am

station and also above is now

not on the map to see the

portastraße all crossings are not

really attractive for pedestrians or

for cyclists they only

are designed for the motorist

here’s a picture of the tracks

uses how would that be now

Imagination if we have another one

create clarity

the only one of the foot and

cyclist is there and the central location

is very close by

cultural-historical museum a bridge

that’s so wide you can not

more than bridge grasps the green

is similar to a green bridge

the one about which one as animal bridge

on the highway and you do not know

more the feeling has on a bridge

to stand

in the further step then arises

a possibility this railway systems

to be used again because there was

That’s why eleven years ago

There was a study of the German railway

which track systems are still there

needed

so far, the balance square me

believe it is not accurate anymore

it may 60 60 meter the

needed

that means we could do a new one here

Quartier arise what again

Usage is mixed and ways

shorten at the same time

as a last point

you could ring the magdeburg in

a partial area also about lids

that means that the keeper of

is very loud these days and through

exhausts is exempted

and the park back to the city wall

approaching, this creates an alternative

recreational opportunity for the residents

and we do not have to go back all the time

in the city park in front

if there is now doubt the the

are not that something like that

I would like to work for you

conclusion three examples show for

First, there is an old new york

freight train line in 2006

until 2014 was used to a park

before that there was no green and now

is an attractive for the residents

living space

a short time ago we recommended one

former autobrücke to one

pedestrian and cyclist bridge

reshuffled the humans

in the first place the possibility

have about it

about the lanes of the cars and

to come over the track

previously did not work at all but

we do not have to go that far

it is enough if you look after

Germany, for example, is slowing down

aschaffenburg

there is a ring road around said

Old Town leads around and the

many years ago

so-called green bridges

be bridged around the age comes

here with the surrounding with the

To connect to quarters they see the

There are potentials there

Examples that work now belongs

here is courage to implement this
