THEME Clear city ideas for Kyiv
PROBLEM
Our society is unsound:
Crucial human values were substituted with consumer instincts having their roots in fear.
Fear underlies cynicism which turned into a norm of social relations.
Under such conditions there is no demand for humane social concepts, including the city ones.
Documents regulating city development are originally lacking ideas. Their absence is concealed with pseudo-scientific highbrow texts, definitions and sophisticated diagrams declaring about enigmatic exclusivity of ‘professionals’, and many things have the status of being secret. Unlike a general plan of London which is accessible and understandable to any housewife.
IDEA
For the last decades, density of the world population has grown considerably, thus making it more integrated. It is much easier now to borrow the best ideas and to develop at the same time our own decent and unique things.
We lack simple ideas!
GOALS
- to generate simple ideas of the City
- to distribute such ideas
- to get a little closer to healthier society with such ideas
PRINCIPLE
Sustainability, careful attitude to the Nature, do no harm
