Next Forum event 'Horizontal
or Vertical'
6.30pm at the Maddermarket Theatre 01.02.2012
Notes
from a recent visit to the Orient: Barry Price
will open a discussion on questions of urban
density.
In Tong Chen, an
evolving solution seeks to avoid urban sprawl and
acute traffic congestion for a new 1/2 million
population. This emergent city adjoins Hong
Kong and is to serve the old city and the
adjacent airport. It anticipates few cars,
lots of cycles, and incorporates positive green
space. Excellent public transport is seen
as key.
Whilst
perhaps some of the housing forms may be
considered inappropriate for our society, there
are ideas a plenty that are worth a discussion.
