Contemporary Communities

At a time of unprecedented urban migration with an estimated 1.5 million people per week (!) moving to urban centers, it is imperative to analyze what makes communities thrive. The people who decide how and where new cities are built and how they function impact millions if not billions of peoples’ lives in fundamental ways. Urban planners sometimes seem to forget that cities are not just stagnant physical objects, but are rather complex, evolving, living systems. It must be remembered that a city equals a community of people not a bunch of buildings. This should not be forgotten in the rush to get buildings built to earn a quick buck. There is no point in planners behaving like demi-gods, looking down from an elevated vantage point with grand idealistic projects that end up being uninviting and soulless. We need to remember the dire failures of the so-called urban renewal projects that took place in cities all over America, starting in New York and spreading like a cancer to Detroit, Denver and dozens of other cities in the 1950s and 1960s only to be torn down a decade later. They were literally so unloved, indeed detested by those who lived there, that they crumbled. Shiny utopian dreams turned to depressing dystopian nightmares—a tragic and shameful waste of peoples’ lives and public resources.

On the roof of communities

Sociologist Richard Sennett argues that the main tension in modern cities lays in the simultaneous desire for individual freedom and communal bonds, the predecessor of such a phenomenon to be found in the dichotomy economy/religion as propagated in medieval cities. It is exactly in the gap left by the fall of the Roman Empire that an idea of community was shaped as a place of exemplary and sometimes contrasting moral reference for the whole society; it was firstly incubated in the countryside – in the walled Christian monasteries and abbeys dotting the rural realm – to then flourish in the heart of the reborn European city. ... ... The formation of the national states in the XIX century was coupled with the birth of new laic institutions, whose absolute end was to shape the modern subject on the basis of enlightened bourgeois values. The Museum, the Theatre, the Hospital, the Library, and the Prison became the elements of a taxonomy made popular by Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand. ... ... written by Sabrina Puddu
