in such non traditional days for yourself
I have never had this format before
there was a lecture that would not even lecture
such a personal statement that would
showed exactly my practice of how I
I understand the city that is how I came
to understanding the topic of urbanism as me
St. Petersburg influenced and why do I
doing
so I wanted my report at the very
actually tell you why you should still
love the city why the city is people and on
actually if you continue the city it
people they are walls yes that is very important
talk about what is in people
cities are built on a stone but very
important moment when we talk about the city
basically
I think about people in St. Petersburg
more value of stones they are people before
you Vyacheslav Leonidovich eyes
such a person who is not now
there is such i’m not afraid of it
words are great Russian scientists exactly
he influenced me first
when I started thinking about the city on the very
I actually studied at architects studied at
college at architect
further engaged in urban design
Wednesday and in general, I read different books and
one of them is design as it is up
who wrote the Glazychev back in
seventieth year influenced my
ideas about what design is
in general, yes, how does the objective world change our
consciousness
but actually farther than himself
developed and thought always burba not stick
Yes, that is exactly he can say
the first brought to Russia the concept
urban studies for example he translated
seventieth year such a famous book
life and death of american cities a
who wrote a jane jacobs but we
about this book only learned during
conditionally speaking Cypriot urbanism yes in
time arrows that is literally there 5-7
years ago and he did it in the seventies
year I mean that
in russia, they understand very long
valuable that not even
and very and immediately comes the understanding of
that people this is important in general when I
I came to Petersburg and I myself am not
Petersburg, it was still obtained years
15 ago already own a number of occupation
city and urban studies
it was the city itself that encouraged me
it seemed to me that it is very such
interesting subject in space in
of time
created in the likeness of the generals
complicated circuit plans really
unique city created from scratch and me
seemed why did not do it too
why not to change the city and in general
inspired by his creations
on Wednesday I was inspired by myself but
I had such a little bit vadsky
call that is it was interesting to me to think
about the city as a place where you can
do whatever you want but, in general, and the first
My entry into the city theme was connected
directly with different
artistic activist practitioners
then I also started to get involved in various
left literature like lefevre but yeah
so kind of a social look at
the city and together we are still an artist
industrial academy in flies with
by artists
engaged in various practices
interventions in urban space well
that’s how for example here yes why am i
This picture is now shown because
that period when i was doing it
Petersburg was very active no it is not
I did not thank God because
I probably would not speak here now
but no less wanted to show this
The picture does not explain what it is and who I am
I will not do refrain here at all price
people who there anyway had to
this relationship but it is very important to show
that the period when this whole movement
started with urbanism in petersburg and in
Russia in general, but in St. Petersburg I repeat
urbanism she is always more left yes then
there is she always more about people
so more complicated is it because
Moscow due to the large resources and
means it quickly turns into
institute and yes and fast institutes
are starting
from his money and here as if possible
everything was and even here it is yes now it is
it is extremely difficult to imagine that at all
maybe in petersburg but let’s say this
project along with others like
construction of a skyscraper near Ohta
center or recreating something on the bridge
it was possible until that moment
it was all in their heads
but in general, in my head, too, I
many cases of projects in the group tris 3 plus
1 here by the way the guy who is
such a white sweater
this is none other than the artist Pavlensky
up to which now is also enough in
such an ambiguous situation in prison
sits in France well, and this was how it was
there was such a party in petersburg
people who dealt with issues
cities and then actually everything is very
watched positively including he i
Why precisely on him sharpened attention
because it seems to me that potential
which people need
keep in the city yes what people
who want some positive doing
changes they were in one way or another
reasons are not detained in the city before or
somehow transformed more into
engaged practice that is
initially a positive decision is possible
realize in some interesting
projects, but you’re here and this
biased logic working with
Art Group 3 Article 3 plus 1 on
I really understood that art is
important and art is a tool
transformation of the city that is the moment
I was not called urbanista
Yes, and the artist did not just called me
I wanted to do some projects in
public space which would
Do I have this city why I always
I speak this city because in general
this is a story about my becoming understanding
cities through petersburg, that is, he
he is like the place yes where did it happen well
so and means to understand it
very important that the city is so good
the tool I was doing various
practices there have tral painting
since it was such a get-together
artists on mentalists or those who
engaged in public art there we are in general
first projects that appeared on
the Petrograd side and the general painting
firewalls
which is now ambiguous too
this had a direct bearing
and it seemed to me that
and petersburg is really unique
the city in terms of having so much brother
Mauro fda or fire walls he could
become a unique monument too
art in an urban environment because
on the same peter short there are over 500
firewalls have open it would be
zest and
the highlight of Petersburg and this is what could
would trade yes that is this
good marketing would i
I’ll include a small movie now or
turn on help
Petersburg become more colorful
Petrograd district professional
artists with master cial
graffiti painted walls 2 buildings on
Vedenskaya street place was found and in
contemporary historical painting
panorama of Petersburg
about a compromise between a century of history
city and fashionable art material
Natalya sticky behind Michael
rose angel wings young
Petersburg artist a reason to pour
create you with higher powers
after a few minutes he come down
from above to decorate the world around
special paints he hastily
Petersburg images already familiar
urban graphics
just so finally found a compromise
between fashionable youth art and
classic Petersburg down in any
case will write some graphics
eat like a living environment
but what is my yes too on myself with such
some comedy i see how
then I am a master and there now for some
things I began to understand more and now
I’ll tell you how but in general, this idea is like
would such flying angels actually
I was terribly scared to get out there
firewall because no preparation
was not and in general it is such an occupation
say basically paint big
30 meters wall
great
not such an easy task yes because
it’s a huge wall in general to
draw an eye you don’t see how it is
proportions are obtained or not in general
need to somehow feel the wall with the other
hand it still needs to hang on the walls with
paint in general is a feeling of adrenaline
she moved
what is really these practices
transforms seemed to be pushing
and talked about moving
you need to change something that’s interesting now
it is on vedenskaya street generally known
place where skaters hang out there and
as if the idea was not easy to create
firewalls as if contextually
inscribed yes that is for example on these
flying skaters were created with images
specific skaters to which there
dwelled on while there was such a character
named Pushkin skater Petrograd in
general we communicated with them created this
project but what’s interesting and show on
what is it now nout city government
stained up given because firewalls in
Petersburg in no way touch
you can not yes this is the story that
at that time it was possible but now
I repeat not yes and very sorry that these
this resource is not used right now I am not
I will stop now why and how
but in general, time was interesting so that
for me it was important to understand this
period what is really on the one hand
I believed that the artist is ready and can
transform the urban environment but then I
understood that the competence of the artist only
not enough until you need a cola bar
i need to create some projects
more fit into the context was another
the project is interesting and by the way its traces
stayed Petersburg maybe because
that too lazy too someone to clean them but here
a gift about the post Russia yes here
nearby there is a postman so in
as a sticker art until met but we
there was a whole big series of such projects
here is this district it is remarkable what
here was the idea to create the so-called
museum quarter dataset district
unite a lot of museums and would be
the task is to create a whole space and we
would literally like you 5 of those
artists and poets who are here
worked yes there and catchy model there
they are here yes everyone is sitting what they are
very close and but unfortunately people are
not accepted yes there were almost
rally as you then obey
on our walls but we would like
such a memory place further
own understanding of the city of what
the artist himself can not cope with
the complexity of the city led me to
that in general it was important to combine
various disciplines those that were in
Petersburg artists and poets and those who
theater is engaged in what
think and create some such
collaborative project but focused on
the transformation is physical
architectural environment of 2011 my
St. Petersburg has made such a small
country festival which is called
artery than he was remarkable that those
the finds that occurred there in
much somewhere later reproduced
for example the phrase you are not even us
Can you imagine our leftists?
St. Petersburg poets during rallies in
Moscow did was born here
yes i mean it is from foam in people in
general cut out these figures that is here
this was an interesting get-together for
weeks where representatives of different
disciplines tried to understand and create
some interesting forms already on
the intersection of the disciplines that is here from some
so complicated
artistic objects yes that is to us
it was important to unite people who
new architectural forms works with
nonlinear surfaces to create
some complicated materials combine
artists who are new to copper
work here for example even with us
spoke already now known there
director maxim didenko yes it is a theater
practice but here they have such such
interesting was hell dante up shown in
In general, this was an interesting exercise.
combining different disciplines too
it turned out not enough we in general
appeared some such critical already
about the scientific view of what is needed
somehow think about the city already in such
project pledge that you need to understand that
the city has a public space
in which people live but need somehow
comprehend these public spaces
that the city can be reassigned and in
overall there was a series of such shares whether shares
Tallinn shares but generally who remembers
Petersburg was a street university when
for the first time still closed the European
University is now finally
shut down but at that moment is the first time
such meetings were closed and
and teachers of scientists in various
places mostly it’s on salt
the lane was happening and here we come up
with an artist group what to do with
Petersburg poets to arrange such a series
discussions about public space in
various public places until which
in our opinion it is necessary there a
transform or where are some
troubled places were either there demolished
park up to either do something next
stage that is here it was very important
that such a left view of the city he, too
not always right yes and that is rude
speaking only biased practice
also will not lead to good
and here came the thought and idea that
in principle, the city if the city is people then
This specific some people who
make small urban changes and in
that moment was created a few
formats for example such as open
laboratory city and where were already
united and sociologists architects and how
now it is fashionable to say different there
interdisciplinary practice but there
such was the idea to create
it was also in 2011 when
Petersburg only changed the governor and
there was an idea of exactly that again this
governor’s program I’m some
such a correct story to promote
for example create an open city
a strategy called one
percent and why one percent because
we thought that there was certainly in the city
each city has one percent of people
who is able to change this city and
the main task of city managers and
those who make these changes find themselves
like and find this one percent
who is able to change the city
but in fact date
faced with a number of system there
difficulties of problems for example when we
somewhere came to offer a strategy
spoke but you can’t do anything there
you need some kind of education
special get we also have
various city council there and various
there are other tips but in general it is a whole
system
let’s say add-ons to which it was necessary
go through so how would this story be she
hung yes did not go anywhere though
there were many interesting things around her
professionals and people
created further interest would arise again
the fact that well, if there are different
people with different disciplines
what was the problem then the problem was
key and understandable i am already at that time
this weak involvement of citizens
urban changes that people themselves are not
are willing to make these changes therefore in
Moscow and in St. Petersburg we are with Moscow
the guys then there was such a wave
and eco activism and let’s say it was like
the organization of garbage is created more
No, and some other practices in general
a lot of people have come into being
wanted to change their city and in general we
created such a festival
city action marathon do it yourself
which was intended to
engage people yes i have chosen
any adverse in our opinion
territory in St. Petersburg where were held
some artistic action
interventions so that people can
show that each person has his own
the place is able to change something
that is, such a Protestant ethic then
there is if you do well then for sure
well will be around exactly what you need
most do something we even
developed such leaflets like guides
how can any of the henchmen
items change the world around there and what
interesting on the gunon island is
such a depressed one is considered
areas of Petersburg although there are many in it
local interesting things there
always flush logs from ships
fall and in general there is a gulf but it was
the idea is there to create such small
crocodile art objects and here
such leaflets were distributed to people like this
can be done but what’s interesting is that
This practice has shown that when people like
would come to them from the outside are not very ready
to these changes and even more
perceive
in you as there are barbarians yes as some
a foreign element that is people who
they themselves have not done something in general
some stories do not perceive
for example, this mosaic
broken glass was
inlaid on the entrance here is such a stela
was about stopping at cannon’s
island which we decided to equip
up to convert here is such a mosaic
but unfortunately then this thing
destroyed yes somewhere in two days and on
place and and what a strange object
have installed which still stands there
But to call that she was not here
accomplishment and as if alien
element and this is very correct
history in general
fiddling with these stories in the city with
people up to the understanding that
not enough competence to need
some kind of solid
look at the city and really need
people who could do it
transform and the idea of creating
form on initiatives yes i mean i
came to itmo university and offered
Rector to create a program program on
aimed at bringing up this
generations of urbanist of she was second in
Russia 1 in St. Petersburg and what it is
It is remarkable that here in the early years it
it was what is called rock and roll yes
that is, it was completely incomprehensible
what to do yes because it ‘s for everyone
new that is it looks very simple
that you need to unite different people and
everything will turn out that is not only that
it was necessary at the level of teachers to
combine interesting people and give
still comes out and interesting complex
knowledge we invited for this program
and foreign colleagues up to in particular here
marcus appenzeller dutch urbanist
from the company is a small plus and what is interesting
was for me this experience yes what he showed
what really has a lot of potential
there are people in the city with burning eyes
students who are able to change
it is but getting into the city like
reality city life there
there are always some problems and yes
initiatives are not being implemented although here
some kind of learning principles that i and
still consider very important
report to here they were then already
articulate
what it should be some kind of practice
practical training should be once
disciplinary joint planning
designing processes they form yes then
there is
communicating with people some kind of social and
economic issues we arranged
various interesting lecture discussions
there between sociologists including here
let’s say this was before how when two
sociologist communicated
what is hipster urbanism yes
what is his phenomenon where he came from and so
next we actually here I am personally
did there all these steps up to
some years such what is called and
doing gospel activities
I tried to show and prove that
the city is important they need to deal with
involving in this process the people People
got involved and it’s interesting for me how
would be the most useful and valuable thing that’s how
the students then reacted yes and
energetically
passed here this feeling back
yes, that is really a lot of it
helped
then we created a spatial forum
development in order to discuss these
questions in the city yes that is very important
was run place up in town in
which could be discussed
various projects
there was just another task
talk about having such a pad
inform the city authorities what
really
there is a change there is an initiative from below
but initiatives from below are not enough
up to what you need to integrate including with
different actors with actors with
business with the city and then everything is possible
it will turn out I just talked about exactly
practical experience before me
I saw the city and that he did not discover you but
in fact, we understand that
Worldwide, there are changes and understandable
what a person becomes like in the head
angle so that there’s
From this diagram you can see how I have changed here.
changing urban planning approach
how did the theory change and why is it all
led but to the fact that he for example
today various practices
activism up various ways
city transformations combined with
technological capabilities give one
potential that was previously impossible
Cedric Price said that technology
is the answer but what was the question
but there is really important in the first
turn to ask questions and then
technology will become a tool that is very
it’s important to talk when we talk about
smart city that is why i am now to
The topic of the smart city has moved that creating
program at the university we realized that
today there are tools at the junction
information technology and various
practical actions that allow
change the city and it needs to be used
these are the five tips that are really
I have learned for myself from my own
such developmental activities
cities but first and foremost that urban
life is always more complicated than administrative
scheme
that is, no matter how much we do
how many strategies would not create any
then the documents of the general plans of the city
always harder and have no idea
urbanista yes because rather urbanist
it’s just a man who wants
some urban changes and if we
talking about urban studies as a science then she
called urban sains or sainses yes then
there is this set of various urban sciences
which aims to work with with this
urban complexity therefore need
more involved in the city to learn it
Here are these complex cobwebs second
important thesis is that the will of one person
able to transform the life of the city
and even more so if it is the governor yes then
there is but even if it is not the governor
cities are still possible and everyone can
in its place and do some
small changes and at every stage and
my development and understanding of this topic i
met people who are in their place
made very serious changes from
the development there of roof gardens to
Khrushchev’s sleeping areas to
converting some urban parts
before involving people in these processes
lack of resources is not a reason
for discourage inactivity that is always
you can find resources and first of all
resource is people people with competencies
can always help can always be done
more complex product than you can
do yourself need to develop the art of living
in cities it actually seems to me
the main topic and problem and the main
a conclusion that generally can be made from
of all this that if the city is people with
people need to work that is while we
talking about our cities actually
they are not up to the city yes that is all
Russian cities formed in
mainly near industrial areas
it’s like factory freedoms and in
In general, this is for you whom she thinks
still present in the greater mass
yes that is necessary to work with people I did
he himself is also a representative there roughly speaking
I lived in a residential area about how I understand
affects this medium on the brain to
man that is to be carried out
constant practice to communicate with people and
give hope to them yes that is
otherwise no change is
there is this art of living in the city before
creating a city dweller this is the main
the challenge but the townspeople by themselves don’t
will arise otherwise all attempts
the transformation of the city will endure
fail both in terms of strategy because
for the strategy the necessary resources in the form
people any beautiful idea she won’t
implemented if there is no this motivation
to implement up to some simple things
transformations take out exit sweep
front door and do well there to each other
and his neighbors and active position
always implies optimism that is
when it was and what does not so that’s necessary
you will always be happy yes because in
Generally you do what you want
do and in the end
changes may not be right
but in any case it happens on the very
In fact, the experience that is already in Russia
Yes, and in St. Petersburg in Moscow and in others
cities it all began urban
activism
then the institute emerged now
city federal programs
city change but here there is a big
the danger that happened too sharp
jump already in such in socialization yes
there are people began to think less about people before
more what time about public
spaces precisely as to the physical
but I’ll probably complete my
the performance is such a character miller
called and I’m also glad that as her
along with the eyes of what am I a miller to us
managed to meet this person in person
too which is me in some things
inspired this is the mayor of the kuritiba the former he
there was once even in petersburg this
a man who is generally in 25 years
came to power in the city before became mayor
and could change a lot yes that is, he
made from such a hard enough
Latin American cities where
flourished and the drug trade and
various problem stories up
related to urbanization was able to do in
in general, a thriving city and he
also the main motive which he is always in
his lectures says that you need to be
optimistic he does not believe a pessimist gives
because with this nothing happens in
In general, completing my story, yes, I’m like
would summarize it for me
cities the city is definitely people and very
specific people for this entire period
which is now such a say
me urban happened next
with me there were different people who me
were charging
from the super left there on the far right
no matter what all the people want
somehow change the city
I believed them there and they helped me too
to develop and it is very important that the city
held such people because all those
who did i talk to anyone about
not even in St. Petersburg such as clouds
who developed
thirty three plus one yes he left
This would like to make a program in
the city of development there is an art to study
some big change
them that is the city during this time too
so many talented people lost
so do not just think about the people and
First enable the implementation
be realized to people on the one hand and with
the other side find your kind in
in general, and no matter what
engage in urban change
thanks for listening to me

proportions are obtained or not in general
need to somehow feel the wall with the other
hand it still needs to hang on the walls with
paint in general is a feeling of adrenaline
she moved
what is really these practices
transforms seemed to be pushing
and talked about moving
you need to change something that’s interesting now
it is on vedenskaya street generally known
place where skaters hang out there and
as if the idea was not easy to create
firewalls as if contextually
inscribed yes that is for example on these
flying skaters were created with images
specific skaters to which there
dwelled on while there was such a character
named Pushkin skater Petrograd in
general we communicated with them created this
project but what’s interesting and show on
what is it now nout city government
stained up given because firewalls in
Petersburg in no way touch
you can not yes this is the story that
at that time it was possible but now
I repeat not yes and very sorry that these
this resource is not used right now I am not
I will stop now why and how
but in general, time was interesting so that
for me it was important to understand this
period what is really on the one hand
I believed that the artist is ready and can
transform the urban environment but then I
understood that the competence of the artist only
not enough until you need a cola bar
i need to create some projects
more fit into the context was another
the project is interesting and by the way its traces
stayed Petersburg maybe because
that too lazy too someone to clean them but here
a gift about the post Russia yes here
nearby there is a postman so in
as a sticker art until met but we
there was a whole big series of such projects
here is this district it is remarkable what
here was the idea to create the so-called
museum quarter dataset district
unite a lot of museums and would be
the task is to create a whole space and we
would literally like you 5 of those
artists and poets who are here
worked yes there and catchy model there
they are here yes everyone is sitting what they are
very close and but unfortunately people are
not accepted yes there were almost
rally as you then obey
on our walls but we would like
such a memory place further
own understanding of the city of what
the artist himself can not cope with
the complexity of the city led me to
that in general it was important to combine
various disciplines those that were in
Petersburg artists and poets and those who
theater is engaged in what
think and create some such
collaborative project but focused on
the transformation is physical
architectural environment of 2011 my
St. Petersburg has made such a small
country festival which is called
artery than he was remarkable that those
the finds that occurred there in
much somewhere later reproduced
for example the phrase you are not even us
Can you imagine our leftists?
St. Petersburg poets during rallies in
Moscow did was born here
yes i mean it is from foam in people in
general cut out these figures that is here
this was an interesting get-together for
weeks where representatives of different
disciplines tried to understand and create
some interesting forms already on
the intersection of the disciplines that is here from some
so complicated
artistic objects yes that is to us
it was important to unite people who
new architectural forms works with
nonlinear surfaces to create
some complicated materials combine
artists who are new to copper
work here for example even with us
spoke already now known there
director maxim didenko yes it is a theater
practice but here they have such such
interesting was hell dante up shown in
In general, this was an interesting exercise.
combining different disciplines too
it turned out not enough we in general
appeared some such critical already
about the scientific view of what is needed
somehow think about the city already in such
project pledge that you need to understand that
the city has a public space
in which people live but need somehow
comprehend these public spaces
that the city can be reassigned and in
overall there was a series of such shares whether shares
Tallinn shares but generally who remembers
Petersburg was a street university when
for the first time still closed the European
University is now finally
shut down but at that moment is the first time
such meetings were closed and
and teachers of scientists in various
places mostly it’s on salt
the lane was happening and here we come up
with an artist group what to do with
Petersburg poets to arrange such a series
discussions about public space in
various public places until which
in our opinion it is necessary there a
transform or where are some
troubled places were either there demolished
park up to either do something next
stage that is here it was very important
that such a left view of the city he, too
not always right yes and that is rude
speaking only biased practice
also will not lead to good
and here came the thought and idea that
in principle, the city if the city is people then
This specific some people who
make small urban changes and in
that moment was created a few
formats for example such as open
laboratory city and where were already
united and sociologists architects and how
now it is fashionable to say different there
interdisciplinary practice but there
such was the idea to create
it was also in 2011 when
Petersburg only changed the governor and
there was an idea of exactly that again this
governor’s program I’m some
such a correct story to promote
for example create an open city
a strategy called one
percent and why one percent because
we thought that there was certainly in the city
each city has one percent of people
who is able to change this city and
the main task of city managers and
those who make these changes find themselves
like and find this one percent
who is able to change the city
but in fact date
faced with a number of system there
difficulties of problems for example when we
somewhere came to offer a strategy
spoke but you can’t do anything there
you need some kind of education
special get we also have
various city council there and various
there are other tips but in general it is a whole
system
let’s say add-ons to which it was necessary
go through so how would this story be she
hung yes did not go anywhere though
there were many interesting things around her
professionals and people
created further interest would arise again
the fact that well, if there are different
people with different disciplines
what was the problem then the problem was
key and understandable i am already at that time
this weak involvement of citizens
urban changes that people themselves are not
are willing to make these changes therefore in
Moscow and in St. Petersburg we are with Moscow
the guys then there was such a wave
and eco activism and let’s say it was like
the organization of garbage is created more
No, and some other practices in general
a lot of people have come into being
wanted to change their city and in general we
created such a festival
city action marathon do it yourself
which was intended to
engage people yes i have chosen
any adverse in our opinion
territory in St. Petersburg where were held
some artistic action
interventions so that people can
show that each person has his own
the place is able to change something
that is, such a Protestant ethic then
there is if you do well then for sure
well will be around exactly what you need
most do something we even
developed such leaflets like guides
how can any of the henchmen
items change the world around there and what
interesting on the gunon island is
such a depressed one is considered
areas of Petersburg although there are many in it
local interesting things there
always flush logs from ships
fall and in general there is a gulf but it was
the idea is there to create such small
crocodile art objects and here
such leaflets were distributed to people like this
can be done but what’s interesting is that
This practice has shown that when people like
would come to them from the outside are not very ready
to these changes and even more
perceive
in you as there are barbarians yes as some
a foreign element that is people who
they themselves have not done something in general
some stories do not perceive
for example, this mosaic
broken glass was
inlaid on the entrance here is such a stela
was about stopping at cannon’s
island which we decided to equip
up to convert here is such a mosaic
but unfortunately then this thing
destroyed yes somewhere in two days and on
place and and what a strange object
have installed which still stands there
But to call that she was not here
accomplishment and as if alien
element and this is very correct
history in general
fiddling with these stories in the city with
people up to the understanding that
not enough competence to need
some kind of solid
look at the city and really need
people who could do it
transform and the idea of creating
form on initiatives yes i mean i
came to itmo university and offered
Rector to create a program program on
aimed at bringing up this
generations of urbanist of she was second in
Russia 1 in St. Petersburg and what it is
It is remarkable that here in the early years it
it was what is called rock and roll yes
that is, it was completely incomprehensible
what to do yes because it ‘s for everyone
new that is it looks very simple
that you need to unite different people and
everything will turn out that is not only that
it was necessary at the level of teachers to
combine interesting people and give
still comes out and interesting complex
knowledge we invited for this program
and foreign colleagues up to in particular here
marcus appenzeller dutch urbanist
from the company is a small plus and what is interesting
was for me this experience yes what he showed
what really has a lot of potential
there are people in the city with burning eyes
students who are able to change
it is but getting into the city like
reality city life there
there are always some problems and yes
initiatives are not being implemented although here
some kind of learning principles that i and
still consider very important
report to here they were then already
articulate
what it should be some kind of practice
practical training should be once
disciplinary joint planning
designing processes they form yes then
there is
communicating with people some kind of social and
economic issues we arranged
various interesting lecture discussions
there between sociologists including here
let’s say this was before how when two
sociologist communicated
what is hipster urbanism yes
what is his phenomenon where he came from and so
next we actually here I am personally
did there all these steps up to
some years such what is called and
doing gospel activities
I tried to show and prove that
the city is important they need to deal with
involving in this process the people People
got involved and it’s interesting for me how
would be the most useful and valuable thing that’s how
the students then reacted yes and
energetically
passed here this feeling back
yes, that is really a lot of it
helped
then we created a spatial forum
development in order to discuss these
questions in the city yes that is very important
was run place up in town in
which could be discussed
various projects
there was just another task
talk about having such a pad
inform the city authorities what
really
there is a change there is an initiative from below
but initiatives from below are not enough
up to what you need to integrate including with
different actors with actors with
business with the city and then everything is possible
it will turn out I just talked about exactly
practical experience before me
I saw the city and that he did not discover you but
in fact, we understand that
Worldwide, there are changes and understandable
what a person becomes like in the head
angle so that there’s
From this diagram you can see how I have changed here.
changing urban planning approach
how did the theory change and why is it all
led but to the fact that he for example
today various practices
activism up various ways
city transformations combined with
technological capabilities give one
potential that was previously impossible
Cedric Price said that technology
is the answer but what was the question
but there is really important in the first
turn to ask questions and then
technology will become a tool that is very
it’s important to talk when we talk about
smart city that is why i am now to
The topic of the smart city has moved that creating
program at the university we realized that
today there are tools at the junction
information technology and various
practical actions that allow
change the city and it needs to be used
these are the five tips that are really
I have learned for myself from my own
such developmental activities
cities but first and foremost that urban
life is always more complicated than administrative
scheme
that is, no matter how much we do
how many strategies would not create any
then the documents of the general plans of the city
always harder and have no idea
urbanista yes because rather urbanist
it’s just a man who wants
some urban changes and if we
talking about urban studies as a science then she
called urban sains or sainses yes then
there is this set of various urban sciences
which aims to work with with this
urban complexity therefore need
more involved in the city to learn it
Here are these complex cobwebs second
important thesis is that the will of one person
able to transform the life of the city
and even more so if it is the governor yes then
there is but even if it is not the governor
cities are still possible and everyone can
in its place and do some
small changes and at every stage and
my development and understanding of this topic i
met people who are in their place
made very serious changes from
the development there of roof gardens to
Khrushchev’s sleeping areas to
converting some urban parts
before involving people in these processes
lack of resources is not a reason
for discourage inactivity that is always
you can find resources and first of all
resource is people people with competencies
can always help can always be done
more complex product than you can
do yourself need to develop the art of living
in cities it actually seems to me
the main topic and problem and the main
a conclusion that generally can be made from
of all this that if the city is people with
people need to work that is while we
talking about our cities actually
they are not up to the city yes that is all
Russian cities formed in
mainly near industrial areas
it’s like factory freedoms and in
In general, this is for you whom she thinks
still present in the greater mass
yes that is necessary to work with people I did
he himself is also a representative there roughly speaking
I lived in a residential area about how I understand
affects this medium on the brain to
man that is to be carried out
constant practice to communicate with people and
give hope to them yes that is
otherwise no change is
there is this art of living in the city before
creating a city dweller this is the main
the challenge but the townspeople by themselves don’t
will arise otherwise all attempts
the transformation of the city will endure
fail both in terms of strategy because
for the strategy the necessary resources in the form
people any beautiful idea she won’t
implemented if there is no this motivation
to implement up to some simple things
transformations take out exit sweep
front door and do well there to each other
and his neighbors and active position
always implies optimism that is
when it was and what does not so that’s necessary
you will always be happy yes because in
Generally you do what you want
do and in the end
changes may not be right
but in any case it happens on the very
In fact, the experience that is already in Russia
Yes, and in St. Petersburg in Moscow and in others
cities it all began urban
activism
then the institute emerged now
city federal programs
city change but here there is a big
the danger that happened too sharp
jump already in such in socialization yes
there are people began to think less about people before
more what time about public
spaces precisely as to the physical
but I’ll probably complete my
the performance is such a character miller
called and I’m also glad that as her
along with the eyes of what am I a miller to us
managed to meet this person in person
too which is me in some things
inspired this is the mayor of the kuritiba the former he
there was once even in petersburg this
a man who is generally in 25 years
came to power in the city before became mayor
and could change a lot yes that is, he
made from such a hard enough
Latin American cities where
flourished and the drug trade and
various problem stories up
related to urbanization was able to do in
in general, a thriving city and he
also the main motive which he is always in
his lectures says that you need to be
optimistic he does not believe a pessimist gives
because with this nothing happens in
In general, completing my story, yes, I’m like
would summarize it for me
cities the city is definitely people and very
specific people for this entire period
which is now such a say
me urban happened next
with me there were different people who me
were charging
from the super left there on the far right
no matter what all the people want
somehow change the city
I believed them there and they helped me too
to develop and it is very important that the city
held such people because all those
who did i talk to anyone about
not even in St. Petersburg such as clouds
who developed
thirty three plus one yes he left
This would like to make a program in
the city of development there is an art to study
some big change
them that is the city during this time too
so many talented people lost
so do not just think about the people and
First enable the implementation
be realized to people on the one hand and with
the other side find your kind in
in general, and no matter what
engage in urban change
thanks for listening to me
