• Summary:If the 1800 was the century of the Empires, the 1900 was the one of the Nations, it seems that the 2000 is the century of the Cities. However, this book portraits the time of the Neighborhood, where urban dwellers, formerly only clients of urban development, are taking ownership of their urban surroundings. Bottom-up initiatives are raising in several urban environments, while institutions, governmental offices and developers sometimes find themselves inadequately organized to enable this trend. In the project We Own The City we acknowledge that this international trend deserves a broader perspective of analysis. Through five cases in five cities this book analyzes different dynamics and intensities of citizen-driven urban redevelopment process in Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Moscow, New York and Taipei. Our quest started by wondering how these traditional top-down cities are adapting and approaching the civil society, with the aim to provide new recommendations based on the need to carefully construct our cities through interactive processes that respond to community needs and people's aspirations.
