Abstract

CO2, energy and resource issues urge us to reuse and transform the existing city instead of expanding it and delving into new construction. The micro-transformation approach featured in this book introduces an urban scale of circularity aimed at recycling space and buildings, not recycling waste materials. For the case study of the Karlín and Holešovice neighbourhoods in Prague, intervention sites are selected in order to play out experimental ways of densifying the city - as a maxim for climate neutrality - not only spatially, but also socially and culturally. The focus is on the enrichment of housing through new typologies, organisational and spatial forms of work, community and culture, in the field of tension between responding to different actors, initiatives and movements in the city and concepts of robustness and adaptability.
