Happy City
• Connected communities are happier, more resilient in hard
times and better equipped to handle economic challenges;
• Cities can help to facilitate these positive social connections.
• Architecture, urban design, public spaces and transportation
systems together alter the way we think, feel and treat other
people in ways most of us never realise.
People have reported being happiest in cities where they
expressed the highest levels of trust for their neighbours.

Unhappy cities
• Post-war cities are mostly designed around private cars, where
homes, workplaces, shops and recreation areas are
segregated into distinct zones.
• People living in these segregated neighbourhoods feel less
trust for their neighbours compared to people living in walkable
mixed areas.
• The more time people spend on commuting, the less likely
they are able to play team sports, hang out with friends, etc.
• Residential towers suffer from the same issues: less trust for
neighbours, more feeling lonely (while being packed closely to
others).

Some lessons
• Limit the amount of people in any particular residential cluster;
• Pay attention to soft zones between public and private space (3.25m!);
• Even small amounts of green make a huge difference;
• Facades matter: permeable facades cause people to walk slower and
pause more often, turning empty spaces into lively places;
• People who cycle to work report feeling more joy and less fear, rage and
sadness than drivers of transit systems.

deze realiseren door het ontwerpen en produceren van artefacten.
De stad is een grootschalig en collectief artefact.

The city game: the area of the future city
• The paper represents the possible
area of the future city;
• There are two existing elements:
1.The sea on the south-side
2.Train-station in the centre, and the
rail from the North.

The city game: building blocks
• Blocks represent buildings;
• You’re free to place the blocks;
• Everyone gets 7 buildings;
• We play 7 rounds;
• Each round takes maximum 1
minute.

The city game: rules
• RULE 1: the minimum distance between buildings is 1 cm;
• RULE 2: buildings cannot be placed in the sea, on the trainstation or train-track.
• RULE 3: all places are accessible by (imaginary) roads.

What are complexity theories?
• An umbrella name to a set of theories about open
and complex systems that interact with their
surroundings/environment, that achieve their order
spontaneously = by means of self-organisation.
• Complexity theories are about material, organic and
human systems.
• All theories/methodologies of complexity have been
applied to cities with the implication that we now
have a family of Complexity Theories of Cities.

19
What is self-organisation?
Self-Organisation is a property of open and complex systems
… it is an umbrella name to several theories about systems that
achieve high level of organisation spontaneously, without
external planning/design and control.

Key-concepts from Synergetics.
• Out of the local (bottom-up) interaction of parts a global order emerges;
• This global order starts to act as a top-down force, enslaving the parts;
• The local parts obey the global order, which strengthens the global order;
• This process is called ‘circular causality’, which is the key to self-organisation;
• This continues until bottom-up forces give rise to another global order, which
replaces the existing global order.

Singularly complex (organic) system:
Complexity is a property of the global system but not of the local parts
Adaptation is a slow moving process
Hence: the complexity of the parts can be ignored
Local
The bird is a
complex, adaptive,
self organizing
system by virtue of
the fact that it is
subject to the slow
process of biological
evolution
Global
Self-organised collective
behaviour: because
biological evolution is slow,
the feedback impact of the
flock on the single bird can
be ignored. The focus is
on the global system.

Dually complex (human) systems:
Complexity is a property of both the global emerging system and its local parts
Adaptation is a fast moving process
Hence: the complexity of the parts cannot be ignored

The home sapience sapience (HSS)
(the homo faber - Bergson) is subject
to two evolutionary self-organizing
processes: the slow process of

materials; is it an artefact?

N.a.v. de presentaties: ‘collectief’?
Er zijn verschillende soorten groepen te benoemen die grofweg ingedeeld kunnen
worden naar omvang en bestaansduur.
1. Primaire groepen zijn relatief kleine, lange termijn groepen met een hoge mate
van sociale cohesie, solidariteit, en zijn vrij gesloten van aard.
2. Sociale groepen zijn kleine groepen van een beperkte duur die worden
gekenmerkt door een gemiddeld niveau van interacte tussen de leden gedurende
een langere tijd, waarbij veelal een gedeeld doel wordt nagestreefd.
3. Collectieven zijn verzamelingen van individuen die spontaan tot stand komen,
deze zijn veelal van korte duur zijn zeer open voor inmenging van buitenaf.
4. Een vierde type groep zijn categorieën van verzamelingen van individuen die op
een of andere manier aan elkaar gelijk zijn, zoals in geslacht, etniciteit, religie of
nationaliteit.

Answer: according to Construal Level Theory
(CLT), yes!
“People experience themselves in the here and now, but consider,
evaluate and plan situations that are in many respects far away. These
situations require a mental construct to bridge this distance.” Trope and
Liberman 2010
Construal Level Theory describes the relation between the psychological
distance and the extent to which people’s thinking is abstract or concrete.
