Oslo, Trondheim and Zurich:

Urban Nodes, Tansition Areas, Knowledge Territories, and City Landscapes constitute contemporary urban phenomena and
typologies.
They form characteristic districts (Lynch 1960), cities in the city (Ungers 1977), green archipelago (Koolhaas 1977), or situations
(Christiaanse 2005) in urban regions.
As urban design typologies, they are characterized by commonalities in regard to criteria such as history, context, topography,
concept, morphology, density, urbanity, scale, building typology, programme, and atmosphere.
However, these typologies don’t constitute clear classifications, but instead thematically overlap.
As a model for eco-heritage-led urbanism, they ideally form a polycentric Net City (Oswald, Baccini 1998/2003) of diverse urban
quarters and neighborhoods.
As characteristic districts, they are embedded in their cultural and natural environment, and connected by a blue-green public space
network, mobility and infrastructure system.

„... is substantiated in the image of Berlin as a city-archipelago. The urban islands will have an identity in keeping with their history,
social structure and environmental characteristics. The city as a whole will be a federation of all these single towns with different
structures developed in a deliberately antithetic manner. ...
Comment
The first step ... pick out and select those districts of the city that possess clearly identifiable features likely to justify their
preservation and accentuation.
The second step towards a redevelopment is the completion of fragments to be preserved which ... must receive their architectural
and definitive urban planned form.
... In quarters having a high building density the existing bulk of building ought to be diminished through the creation of free
spaces, as city parks, public gardens and squares; whilst districts having a low density... could be intensified by the integration of
residential centres. ...
... Each part of the city taken in itself will receive an identity of its own that will diversify it from that of the others. ...
Conclusions
The pluralistic project for a city within the city is in this respect in antithesis to the current planning theory which stems from a
definition of the city as a single whole. This corresponds to the contemporary structure of society which is developed more as a
society of individuality with different demands, desires and conceptions.
The project also involves an individualization of the city and therefore a moving away from typization and standardization. ...
The project for the city in the city ... is completed antithetically, by the surfaces in between the islands-in-the-city. ...
the structures here ... ought to be allowed to be gradually retransformed into natural zones and pastures, without any rebuilding. ...
These islands-in-the-city would ... be divided from each other by strips of green, thus defining the framework of the city in the city
and thereby explaining the metaphor of the city as a green archipelago.
Comment
The green interspaces form a system of modified nature ...that range from suburban zones to parks and to wooded areas up to the
urban developed zones or those for agricultural use ...
The surfaces earmarked for agriculture could penetrate all parts of the city and ... create an additional source of industry and
employment ...
The natural grid ... should embrace a motorway extended network to link up the islands-within-the-city to one another ...
Next to suburban zones with a different density, wooded areas, shooting preserves, natural parks, gardens, family allotments, ur-
ban agriculture and infrastructural services ... it should also be possible to rely on green zones for „parking“ temporary mobile facili-
ties. ...
Conclusions
In the open zones between the blocks projects should be realised to improve urban characteristics, viz:
- the building of areas for detached dwellings with a low density ...
- the building of zones for temporary inhabitation with mobile homes to replace living in the city centre and as an alternative to
living in green areas and to a certain way of experiencing leisure time
- the building of sports facilities, recreation and free time facilities, beginning with park and play areas and extending to
shooting preserves and to artificial landscapes, and to amusement zones ...
- the setting aside of production areas in the „industrial parks“ ...
