Social sciences Sociology Urban planning Science and society Positivism Urban history Biographical studies 19th century 20th century, early Geddes, Patrick

Che ci fa un biologo scozzese tra i fondatori dell’urbanistica? A Patrick Geddes e al suo libro, Cities in Evolution (1915), si riconosce l’ideazione dell’indagine del territorio in funzione della sua pianificazione. Ma la sua civics, una sorta di sociologia concreta e attiva, pretende di essere molto di più: è conoscenza simultanea di geografia, storia e società (place, work, folks); è educazione dei cittadini alla responsabilità attiva come condizione per la trasformazione dei luoghi; è progetto per l’evoluzione delle città. Sono questi i cardini del suo agire: l’insegnamento basato sull’esperienza; la comunicazione, di cui il laboratorio-museo interno all’Outlook Tower a Edimburgo e la mostra itinerante Cities and Town Plannig Exhibition sono esempi eloquenti; la conservazione della città storica a partire da Edimburgo; i piani per lo sviluppo di Tel Aviv, in Palestina, e di Indore, in India. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… What is a Scottish biologist doing among the founders of urban planning? Patrick Geddes and his book, Cities in Evolution (1915), are recognized as having conceived the investigation of the territory as a function of its planning. But his civics, a sort of concrete and active sociology, claims to be much more: it is simultaneous knowledge of geography, history and society (place, work, folks); it is educating citizens towards active responsibility as a condition for the transformation of places; it is a project for the evolution of cities. These are the cornerstones of his action: teaching based on experience; communication, of which the laboratory-museum inside the Outlook Tower in Edinburgh and the traveling exhibition Cities and Town Plannig Exhibition are eloquent examples; the preservation of the historic city starting with Edinburgh; plans for the development of Tel Aviv, Palestine, and Indore, India.]
