Agenda4ZG urbanism: listen to EWB and respond JIT

How to protect life in the city  and life of the city?

Urbanism is all about art of customization i.e. how to deal with people in cities, how to tame present  structures to future needs having in mind life in general not only bare human standards or instincts. 
The aim is to ensure city to prosper with minimal ecological footprint and at the same time to be steady hotbed for technological advancement.

1.step -  knowing what it is all about:

It is all about:
extensive updated knowledge base and 
professional  "esoteric" tips and tricks base 
common sense - concerning  dialectic of transgression 
l'astuce to respond favorably
and that ensures: gentle positive approach

2. Affirmative  urban approach - as result of an educated guess
3. so you may expect volte face to happen 

This is small contribution  or a tip to 
set rules affectionades that makes Laws and Order

use this remedy:  COMPASSION for  life tragedy en general
for your sake too 

Agenda for any city, Zagreb included

lore as result of practical approach in harsh environment: learning from Old Trnje 

1. protect peculiarities: 
a. local: local people local material  local prospect
b. macro: health  cultural context  site 
c. micro:  protect details - life styles
2. spread particular knowledge expertise
3. foster common sense astuteness4. instigate positive change
5. re-envision regulary 
6. make use of strategic leverage
7. give personal touch
8. consider city as media per se 
9. consider city as part of holon structure

Kada togsa nema jer tko bi gubio vrijeme za druge evo primjera o dva nepomirljiva životna stava:

1. razumljiv,  ali smisleno plošan, često na granici kiča te stručno prezren: trial and error approach 

lest to play;  on Flower square,  district Center

2. ezoteričan, kojem puk pokušava dati smisao kojeg nema a mogao je ga je imati  da  je bio prihvaćen izazov višestukog kodiranja

A form or The Symbol with ample structural connotations from Ra to balls
Singularity may advocate fixed rule policy too?

Zaključno ili bolje za praksu početno je :

Tema urbanizma je život  u gradu, a to demantira krute stavove o tome što i kada treba djelovati.
I u urbanizmu postoji pravilo: JIT
just in time
djelovati odmah ali kao gradski urbanist.

Obično više mislimo kad su jedine prihvatljive opcije da više ne mislimo:
 "ne bi se štela mešati"
"evo ti 2", ili
 "dao bog da te voda odnijela " .


A coda: What are EARLY WARNING BIRDS and who is entitled to hear these  bad omens and respond favorably in time.
Bureaucrats never, they turn blind eye deliberately

mere playground for future possibilities or challenge for connoisseur

1. what does it mean "urban - architectural concept design" with no context

Is it we don't know what to do with the block or pretext for we want to make use of this area for opportunistic goals

2. need for programs that include systems approach

step by step guide: 

1. involve only a dash of history

2004 blok Badel sazetak

There is only one Man_orientated street in Zagreb CBD  left if so.
Marticeva street is leading from The Main square to Block Badel

there are separated treas inside and outside the block
New alleys may induce new activities and tie up

Urban clues for Zagreb as Blitzableiter

 OMG, reconsider rights and duties of Zagreb
as
the Blitzlight of Croatia


FTF
upside-down strategy

  invest in rails,
build settlements next to the rails
by making use of plans and programs

by preserving urban standards even hoist them radically if in these bad times butbe aware that
there are no shortcuts, only steady hard work for
black swans are eager on you if you are
a bottom line managers

A clue: bottom-up strategy
 percentage play
 a bit of common sense and
retrofitting strategy
be JIT
act immediately  -  re-use

engage empathy too
you want viable cities, poignant streets - biz life

learn panoptic picture

  

adopt scientific approach for

comparative and statistical analysis only

Learning from Borovje

Zagreb district  Borovje

pedestrian lanes still missing gentile horticultural touch, please plant trees

through the building where are shrubs, pots with flowers, more private initiative

linking settlements with vast void space
- something is missing on the both sides of the bridge
 to say hallo

cheapskates in action:
missing trees at least robinia, and curb side parking  

enclosures   with taste and style  separating denizens

  pretty traditional taste

well equipped villages will provide pedestrian lanes with a strip of flower beds, shrubs next to the fence

cosy  gardens on the ground level, elevated or depreciated;  yet not on roof -  leider

that looks comme il faut   like a nice start with personal charm

but white aggressive  zigzag fence is  introducing private parking
strange but far more interesting than

a pavement like this obviously instigating car drivers only 

nobody want to live with view on the street 

At the end - the bright example a fence treated 

as playing ground:  green stuff dotted with children  

really do you  miss some color in wintertime
 are we dulled by abundance of grayish cheep asphalt

but talking about  the color and style

komunalci gdje je taj osjećaj za ljepotu življenja
ljepota je u metodi pokušaja i promašaja i trenutnom ispravljanju pogrešaka
što se traži
openness, clarity and  sensitivity, 
when path and fruit are taken as union

and not to point out an iconographic building
chained by neighboring grayish  buildings that are to close
please use colors 
Bunt is beautiful
but plant more trees 

these buildings are not smiling 

they expect the ante gardens and 

appropriate focal point:
