The thesis represents an empirical study of a public space related to a case of Heavenly Hundred Garden initiative in Kyiv, embedded in historical and theoretical context of post socialist urban development. Through the narration of its creation and its story, marked by the events of Euromaidan as well as by the socialist legacy, it gives an overview of the current development in the city, which seems to be trapped between its past and global trends.

Twenty-five years after the Soviet era, Kyiv is continued to be built based on Soviet timeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official norms and documents, using the legacy and methods of pressure and redemption. (..) Paired with the lack of competent specialists in area of urban planing who are able to bring changes into the structure and function of the city and the absence of clear regulations, it intensifies negative conditions, inhibiting a sustainable development.

One of the most important changes that emerged after the Euromaidan are the number of new bottom-up public initiatives that are facing the consequences of the investment-orientated urbanism and fighting against them. This social activity is actually a forced and reactive activity, focusing on finding some balance within the city. The Heavenly Hundred Garden is one of the first examples in this process. It embrace a new concept of a public space, influenced by global trends and triggered by the Revolution of Dignity. This concept consists of several layers: the symbolic the educational and the informational one, addressing a variety ofnneeds of a pluralistic city

Retail trade and its role in urban development What is retail trade, how it had been developing during the history and what impact it had and is still having on the development of a city, how urban changes shaped the retail trade and vice versa? Bringing Zürich into focus of our project, Jaroslav Jakovlev and me tried to answer these and other questions. This research was conducted on behalf of Department for Urban Development Zürich (Stadtentwicklung Zürich).

CITY AS AN EGG To generalize the urban development we can imagine it as an egg, cooked in 3 ways. In the ancient time a city could be imagined as a boiled egg: yolk would represent the city center, egg white -- the suburbs, both surrounded by the city wall (a shell). Later in 17-19 centuries the city begins to sprawl into the suburban areas as the population increases and the walls are no longer limit its grow, although the city center reminds where it used to be before. Now it looks more like a fried egg. In the modern times one city center is not enough any longer as city continues to grow. Hence, there is a tendency to polycentric city, with several well-connected sub centers.

TRADING HISTORY History of the trade is closely connected to urban development. They influenced each other mutualy through the centuries, formed the appearance, shaped the supply and demand, changed spaces and consument habits. Here we try to sum up the main episodes of this relationship.

RETAIL TRADE TYPOLOGY

“Tante Emma” Laden - a little shop in the quarter where you find most important daily products, usually meets neighbors and talk for a while with the owner

Supermarket - weather independent space with supply of goods of short- and medium-term need, cheaper prices, usually very reduced interaction between the customer and the seller

Market - temporary / permanent, open/closed space where people regularly gather for the purchase and sale of provisions, livestock, and other goods

Kiosk - similar idea, might be less personal interaction

Outlet shop - same idea as supermarket, cheaper prices

Pop-up shop - flash retailing, is a trend of opening short-term sales spaces

Spontaneous trade - often products from own household/garden etc. situated close to the fluxes of persons, ex. metro, bus or stations stops

Chain shop - copy paste places with mostly same range of products, global

Boutique, concept store - a small store that sells stylish clothing, jewelry, or other usually expensive things

Takeaway / food truck - prepared food / beverages to go, no sanitary facilities, any or few tables to sit

Department store (Warenhaus) - big, many-floors, retail trade shop that sells different types of products, also food. Like hardly any other form of retailing, the department stores have managed to provide people with consumer goods from all cultures and thereby emphasize the cultural function of trade.

Flagship store - core store for brand name retailers, larger than their standard outlets and stocking greater inventory, often found in prominent shopping districts, designed by star architects

Craftsman workshop - sells products / services that are produced at the same place, can form clusters

Restaurant - a place, where food and drinks are offered and consumed. They offer a variety of dishes and have separate tables or rooms for their guests

Experience shopping - a “museum” of a brand, where person not only can buy product, but learn, taste, smell – experience something (Museum of Chocolate in Köln, Messmer Forum Tea Museum Hamburg, Unilever House Hamburg)

SOCIETY OF

The number of elderly person in the population is increasing and is becoming one of the most significant social transformations of the current century. “Today, 8.5 percent of people worldwide (617 million) are aged 65 and over. According to a new report, “An Aging World: 2015,” this percentage is projected to jump to nearly 17 percent of the world’s population by 2050 (1.6 billion)” (Cire 2016). This has impact on nearly all sectors of society including labor and financial markets, the demand for goods and services, such as housing, transportation and social protection, as well as family structures and intergenerational ties. There are a utopia and dystopia future scenarios of aging: the new Gold Age vs. stagnation and decreasing of productivity etc. We are used to divide human life in three phases: childhood, adulthood, old age. Now the tendency is towards forth phase: an elderly person who is still fit to work and a person who needs nursing services.

AGI NG

TRENDS EVOLUTION

TI B A NIZ A

For the first time in history of the more than a half of global population inhabits cities: 3.7 billion a number that will double by 2050. This shift implies profound challenges including food, water, and energy consumption. “Urban growth presents an opportunity to connect more people to water and electricity, making them healthier and more productive. It also presents the risk of overwhelming various public goods, including power, infrastructure, health, and education as these systems adjust to increased demand. Urbanization can be a positive, but if poorly managed will only amplify existing challenges” (Runde 2015).

It is a process of multinational interaction and integration among the people, companies and governments, driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. It is an old phenomenon that was speeded up in the last decades due to international policy liberating the national and international trade and technological development. Best way to illustrate it can be following quote that went viral on social media: “Your car is Japanese. Your pizza is Italian. Your beer is German. Your wine is Spanish. Your democracy is Greek. Your coffee is Brazilian. Your tea is Chinese. Your watch is Swiss. Your fashion is French. Your shirt is Indian. Your shoes are Thai. Your radio is Korean. Your vodka is Russian”. Yet, as an antipode to the globalization it looks like the future will be local, from food to politics. As we are depending on the scares recourses that will end soon, we will need to turn back and adopted more local way of life.

I G I TA I Z AT L

More and more processes are taking part online. Internet enables worldwide trade with a unique transparency of prices and creates virtual public spaces, at the same time putting the suppliers under great pressure. Also, it can be said that internet is making us immortal: statistic proclaims in 2060 there will be more dead people on facebook that alive. The classical mechanisms of sale can no longer be applied, as the new consumer is fully mobile, and could buy almost anything anywhere and at anytime. Social media is emerging as a bourgeoning marketplace or old and new goods. Consumers are turning into active co-creators of the supply and demand. This process is requiring new business models and approaches.

IN A B

Sustainability has been becoming a trend since few decades as a reaction to the growing concern over environmental degradation and its consequences. An increasing global population demands protection of natural resources among them the food and water supply in order to guarantee sustainable and worldwide provisions. It also implies shift of consumer attitude towards goods and more conscious consumption.

Globalization stands for commodification and homogenization that in turn creates the counter trend of personalization since people started to react against standard issue products. Having the product itself is not as important as obtain experiences it can promise.

GRAPHICS Can different types of retail trade be compared? Due to which features? We try an attempt to compare them and create different variables such as time one spend in the shop, the place it occupies, the products it sells. This subjective attempts are based on our experience and hence. They can give a user an idea of our perception of the trade and the way it impacts the city.

The exhibition Port City Talks / Istanbul-Antwerp focuses on the decisive role played by the water in Istanbulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development through centuries to date, highlighting certain points it has in common with Antwerp. An international student workshop was organised as one of the events of the finissage of the exhibition. The workshop focused on developing and exploring an understanding of the dynamics of Antwerp, Istanbul and Hamburg as contemporary and future harbour cities. This four-day workshop is organised by the curator of the exhibition: architect M. Tabanlioglu, one of the leading architects of Turkey. The results designerly reflect on the spatial, historical and cultural system of harbour transformation sites.

The exposition is a result of cooperation between students and professors of the faculties of Urban Design (M.Sc) and Culture of Metropolis (B.A.) and the Hamburg Museum. The one-year project was initiated by research project “Low-Budget-Urbanity” that was realized at HafenCity University, Helmut-Schmidt University and Hamburg Museum at 20122014. During the first part of the project the students elaborated research documentation about eight different saving methods of city of Hamburg under the question: “How does the city of Hamburg save and which space consequences it has on the city?” The research was based on four basic elements of saving: money, time, space and resources.

The main task of the second part was to translate the obtained results into visual contents and objects that explain the research theme. Moreover we wanted to answer the question â&#x20AC;&#x153;How measurable the different saving experiences are?â&#x20AC;? and so designed a research point where we gathered the memories and ideas of saving experiences of Hamburg. My main area during the creation of exposition was Communication and PR. In a small team we were responsible for communication and ideas exchange between

students, professors and museumÂ´s stuff Moreover we designed the exhibition campaign and promoted it in different social media, like blog, Facebook and Twitter.

Another task was to organize the Vernissage opening and weekly expert monitoring program for the visitor of exposition.

Atelier Ensaios Urbanos aimed to structure the dialogue between universities and the government in the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil, in view of the participatory process of reviewing the new allotment law, that implies the use and occupation of the ground in the city. The objective of the contest was exploration of concepts and urban regulation ideas from tests produced by architects and planners. Particularly the rules of use and occupation proposed in new Master Plan were tested and applied.

In our work we analized the area of Inajar Street in the North of Sao Paulo, which is characterized by geological risk and and self-constructed high-dencity housing and developed a proporsal for its reurbanization.
