Berlin, Brussels, Florence, London, Toronto, Zurich - fascinating western metropolises which are all sophisticated icons of international commerce, finance, tourism, though in very different ways. Striking appearances and successful structures are, however, only one side of the reality. On the shadow side, there are the insidious changes which have come about primarily for reasons of quick profit and consumerism; social and ethnic ghettos are on the increase. Yet in all these cities there are forces which are facing up to these supposedly irreversible developments and which must be taken seriously. INURA - an International Network for Urban Research and Action - published Possible Urban Worlds in 1998 to draw attention to contemporary urban renewal. Now they are publishing Contested Metropolis which looks at these six cities, presenting the most important critics and alternative urban projects.
Berlin, Brüssel, Florenz, London, Paris, Toronto, Zürich – faszinierende westliche Metropolen, die in je unterschiedlicher Weise urbane Ikonen des internationalen Handels, der Finanzwelt oder des Tourismus darstellen. Die glanzvollen Erscheinungen und erfolgreichen Strukturen sind freilich nur die eine Seite der Wirklichkeit. Die Verönderung der Stadt primär zugunsten des schnellen Profits, des individualistischen Konsums und steigender sozialer und ethnischer Ghettoisierung sind die Schattenseiten. Es gibt in all diesen Städten ernst zu nehmende Kräfte, die eine konträre Haltung gegenüber einer vermeintlich nicht umkehrbaren Entwicklung einnehmen. Die von INURA – einem international tätogen Netzwerk mit dem Ziel der Stadterneuerung – herausgegebene aktuelle Dokumentation TheContested Metropolis stellt die wichtigsten kritischen Akteure und alternativen urbanen Projekte aus diesen sieben Städten vor. Die aus präziser Kenntnis der lokalen Gegebenheiten verfassten Einzelberichte führen in Text und Bild vor, wie der Alltagsraum dieser Städte neu belebt und so genutzt werden kann, dass er den realen Bedürfnissen ihrer Bewohner besser entspricht. Diese Beispiele liefern somit Erkenntnisse und Erfahrungen, die für viele andere fruchtbar werden können.
