Excerto de The Heart of the City: Continuity and Complexity of an urban design concept

"All three actors represent a particular and precise facet of the heart theme. Indeed the Urban Design Conference and Victor Gruen, represent the invention and the renewal of the city in America through the concept of the Heart; the CIAM Summer school in Venice represents the increasing importance of the tradition, of the Ernesto Nathan Rogers` continuity, of the recognized role of history and context within the modern project; finally Bakema represents the physical interpretation of the philosophical current of the Relationalism (see Enzo Paci), putting the relationships between the urban factors as the main issue for the sociological and physical structure of the city.
However, the three actors might be all compared through their grades of relationships.
We note indeed that the first is addressed to the centrality of the city, the second to relationship between one building and its surrounding, while the third as a total relationship between different scales of urban structures.
Moreover in all three actors, especially in the first and in the last one, there is a similar intention to consider the design of the city with a vertical integration of functions, into a three-dimensional space: in this sense the heart of the city becomes a counterforce of the zoning method of planning, of the four functions` divisions (dwelling, work, recreation, and transport), rather than its mere fifth element as criticized for instance by Team 10."
