Charles Landry Quotes

• La creatividad no puede regularse realmente, pero puede fomentarse. La reurbanización o revitalización de una ciudad es un arte. Depende de los puntos fuertes individuales de un lugar y de la voluntad de los dirigentes para provocar el cambio. El objetivo es crear una infraestructura cultural.

• As far as population size goes, big is no longer important, and it can even be a drawback. In fact, the future belongs more to second-tier cities. Any place can become a world-class center today by finding an area in which it outperforms others, by thinking for the long term, by expanding its competitive abilities and by operating globally.

• All cities have one key resource: the special abilities of the people who live in them. You just have to find out what they are. In the Australian city of Adelaide, for example, which is overshadowed by Sydney and Melbourne, I discovered a number of experts in the penal system. I advised them to work with these special skills.

• Contradictions, most of all, a balance between chaos and order. It needs neighborhoods vibrating with energy just as much as cozy little corners and parks; well-tended, middle-class sections as well as an alternative scene; technology centers for innovative youth and social facilities for older people.

• A medida que las industrias emigran hacia Extremo Oriente, el futuro de muchas ciudades occidentales ya no residirá en la fabricación de productos, sino de ideas y patentes. Las élites jóvenes y móviles pueden elegir dónde quieren vivir y mudarse con facilidad, lo que significa que las ciudades están inmersas en una acalorada competencia por atraer a los mejores. Sólo las ciudades más atractivas pueden beneficiarse de esta evolución.

• Hamburg will have a new and important attraction with which it can distinguish itself from other cities. But the important thing is that activities should not just be limited to the building, but that the concert hall should symbolize a general mood of creative rejuvenation.

• Some remain great cities, but they shouldn't stand still. They should move in the direction of a knowledge-oriented society. Most cities have to do something to draw attention to themselves and make their particular assets visible on the international radar. I'm not talking about developing countries, but about the United States and Europe.

• I like what Barcelona is doing. This city almost perfectly combines its natural advantages with cultural attractions, IT parks and first-rate educational opportunities. The same applies for Dublin, which manages to achieve a blend of complexity, tolerance and artistry and makes a point of not devoting every part of the city to the tourism industry. Sometimes creativity also means forgoing short-term profits and simply saying no.

• En una ciudad como Londres, el hecho de que las culturas convivan y se crucen es algo hermoso y natural. Las muchas culturas de Ámsterdam contribuyen al alto nivel de locura de la ciudad, algo que toda ciudad interesante debería ofrecer. Pero a veces los inmigrantes pueden vivir en mundos paralelos que excluyen a los demás y no resultan muy atractivos.

• Hamburgo adquiere un nuevo símbolo con la nueva sala de conciertos de la Filarmónica del Elba. Un edificio arquitectónicamente tan impresionante se construye en algún lugar del mundo una vez cada cinco años, con suerte.

• Another thing I like about German cities - and it's an advantage which they haven't sufficiently exploited yet - is that they are pioneers when it comes to environmental technologies. And green solutions are becoming more and more important.

• The Germans are often too bureaucratic, too fixated on rules and not risk-oriented enough. And some of their officials have the feeling that they need to make everything in the cityscape look nice and pretty as quickly as possible. That was particularly apparent in the former East Germany after reunification. Then cities sometimes get a bit too neat and tidy.
