Alternate Spaces in the City.  A Slow Down City

Abstract

The housing environment and public space of the contemporary city , as the everyday life itself is put under pressure of speed; the acceleration from digitalized society where communication is everything, and where an individual who stops for a while risk to be left outside the main stream. It is visible in the way how public spaces in the cities are shaped. Public spaces is seen there as just another product which competes to get users attention. Slowing down which is attributed to small town space builds one of the aspects which allows the preservation of the cultural and environmental heritage allowing to unfold the alternate space composition rules based on the ideas of ecological philosophy. A reflection based on analysis of the possibilities to balance the needs and to build the rules for shaping of the different alternate urban spaces.
