Towards Redundancy in Urban Landscapes: Enhancing Adaptive Capacity Through Design

摘要: While many are convinced striving for resilient cities is worth pursuing, the majority of research in this field focuses on risks and vulnerabilities or social resilience. The attention spatial necessities to create that able accommodate impacts climate change rare. core objective paper learn from urban precedents so design beyond disaster can be practiced. This article therefore inclusion redundancy urbanism. It uses example Western Sydney, where future approximately 800,000 new inhabitants will live, illustrate how certain space kept free developments, other words remains available (changed, unexpected) use. use could well temporary, case impacts, such as floods fires. A total eight neighborhoods have been analyzed ecological urbanism densities. principles derived these subsequently deconstructed reconstructed Master Plan plans at level. Out process, five emerge determinants redundancy: temporarily it used differently when needed, full integration rural landscape (water) systems; developing fluid densities city densified required future; see an amenity being residents they need; accessible communal spaces shared purposes.
