BJØRVIKA-DEBATTEN SOM FORSVANT
La meg peke på to forhold som bare så vidt er berørt i Bjørvika-sammenheng og derfor nærmest fraværende i reguleringsplanen, nemlig spørsmålene om økologi og sosialitet. Blant norske arkitekter og byplanleggere er spørsmålet om økologi med få unntak fraværende.

KINESISK NEI TIL "EKSOTISK" DESIGN
Den kinesiske staten prøver å dempe iveren for utenlandsk arkitektur. Det kinesiske bygningsdepartementet går til kamp mot «blind» bruk av utenlandske arkitekter i byggingen av større offentlige bygg.

SANDEFJORD - LIKER IKKE HJERTNES-FORSLAGET
Flere representanter i bystyret liker ikke forslaget til ny bebyggelse i Hjertnespromenaden. - Trist og bedrøvelig, sier Fremskrittspartiets Per Erik Monsen om illustrasjonen til bebyggelsen. Han mener utbyggingsplanen er god, men har lite til overs for det han kaller byggeklossestruktur, som kan minne om bygninger han har sett i Øst-Europa.

URBAN STRUCTURE MATTERS
A book about Residential Location, Car Dependence and Travel Behaviour by prof Petter Næss, Aalborg university. With a broader range of statistics than previous studies and conclusions of international relevance, Urban Structure Matters provides well-grounded conclusions for how spatial planning of urban areas can be used to reduce car dependence and achieve a more sustainable development of cities.

PLANNED TOWER SPLITS ST. PETERSBURG
The 1,300-foot skyscraper to be built on the Neva River across from the pastel-blue-and-white Smolny Cathedral will loom over a baroque cityscape famous for the Hermitage art museum and the Peter and Paul Cathedral, among dozens of other historic landmarks.
The project has become a flash point in an angry debate not just about architectural preservation and corporate clout, modernity and the old city, but also power and privilege in today's Russia.
ICOMOS international has also sent a formal protest to Gazproms project.

THE PRINCE OF WALES CALLS FOR NEW HOMES TO BE ECO-FRIENDLY
Eleven developments have been recognised by the Home Builders Federation and The Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment for adopting the Foundation's design principles, helping to improve quality of life for residents and for being energy-efficient.
The other categories on which the developments were judged included more local amenities, alternatives to car dependency, timeless designs and neighbourhoods with context and character.

LET'S KILL OFF THE CUL-DE SAC
Britain's cul-de-sacs, long the butt of metropolitan snobbery, are now being targeted by the Prince of Wales as an environmental menace that foster crime, car dependence and obesity. Prince Charles has persuaded Britain's biggest housebuilders, including Barratt, George Wimpey and Bovis Homes, to halt the postwar spread of suburban closes, a boom reflected by the Channel 4 soap Brookside.
Under new guidelines, they will bring back higher density housing in Victorian-style grids, to encourage people to exercise by placing shops and amenities within walking distance. Research from Dr Richard Jackson, the American public health expert, shows that people in car-based communities weigh on average 6 pounds more than those in traditional towns.

URBAN LAND INSTITUTE - EUROPEAN STUDENT URBAN DESIGN COMPETETION
Each year a large-scale site will be chosen in an urban regeneration area located in Europe. Student teams are invited to be formed at all European universities. We urge students to participate with projects and plans based on New Urbanism. We predict there is a good chance get much attention because many other competitors will come up with car-based and out-of-scale schemes as they have been taught in their architect schools.

KONFERANSE I OSLO OKTOBER 2007 OM KLIMAENDRINGER OG BYPLANLEGGING:
UTFLYTENDE BYER ET STORT PROBLEM.
Den ledende svenske miljøvernorganisasjonen, Svenska Naturskyddsföreningen, offentliggjorde 17.12.06 en rapport som påviser at de utflytende byene med villaområder og kjøpesentre bidrar til å forsterke klimaendringene.
"Glesare städer leder till ökade utsläpp av växthusgaser som påverkar klimatet och att städerna äter upp omkringliggande markområden.
Konferansen arrangeres av C.E.U. - Council for European Urbanism, et tverrfaglig europeisk nettverk for byutvikling.
