6 In new scenarios created by complex interactions between stakeholders, public space is the result of complex negotiations that need to be managed using tools such as: a. Concept plans and formulas for urban area. b. System designs for sustainability. c. Strategic Master plans and definition of Strategic Projects d. Prototypes of building/ program concepts And so on.. It is common sense that all parties need each other to realise sustainable urban space for sustainable urban life of people together. This ambition is an exciting one meanwhile a never-ending story, the ever ongoing story of the shared desire that is the vital power for successful sustainability. The new urban question of how to organise people s freedom to participate in the planning and designing of New Urban Forms while realizing projects together without having to share everything? How will this still be relevant for further practical experiment as well as for theoretical study? 6

We needed strategies to make the border between public and private more flexible, to facilitate collective space for collective program. These strategies are often based on the creative interpretation of value development of both private real estate and of public space surrounding private buildings.

30 shared desire Design for value of public life Freedom! New Urban Form is about modifying urban context to new social economical and cultural circumstances. Germaine Sanders & Robin Houterman 30

31 statement It is the actual need for more sustainable solutions of spatial problems that raises the ultimate new urban question. And still, the need for more sustainable solutions of spatial problems is primarily a fundamental social economical problem to be reflected on by urban planners and designers when (re)shaping cities and when calculating urban projects for the metropolitan. We notice that urban design culture is shifting towards a culture of designing for smart urban life, eventually.. Germaine Sanders & Robin Houterman 31

41 Design for value of urban space Germaine Sanders & Robin Houterman 41

42 statement There is a task for planners and designers to develop new design tools and methods as a need for effective design in practices and processes of multi stakeholder alliances. Urban design in general has been accepted as key to a better urban environment. However as we move on, urban design should evolve to create public space and design to accommodate urban living of greater sustainability. Urban design and building typology must allow definition of space ownership and building ownership in much more flexible ways. Germaine Sanders & Robin Houterman 42

43 Design for value of shared desire Germaine Sanders & Robin Houterman 43

44 statement Planners and designers are confronted by an increasing variety of stakeholders, individual people and organisations of people with shared desire. Planners and designers need to analyse what these stakeholders value and why they would be interested to participate in the local spatial agenda on the search of Sustainable Urban Form. Germaine Sanders & Robin Houterman 44

46 The 4th International Conference of the International Forum on Urbanism (IFoU) 2009 Amsterdam/Delft The New Urban Question Urbanism beyond Neo-Liberalism New urban questions: To match these economical strategies with programmes for design we need to investigate questions like: who values and when? or: how do we value sustainable projects?
