Adaptable cities and chrono-urbanism

Résumé

The paper proposes to make use of the "key of time" and develop a chronotopic approach to reflection on the "post carbon city". The challenges and issues facing the post-Kyoto metropolis require gaining awareness of the concept of resource and a shift from purely economic consideration to a societal assessment. And three given dimensions are going to evolve significantly in the course of this century: energy, space and time. The local levers that can be operated to act on the energy dimension are relatively weak, but technologies evolve and awareness increases at different levels. Space resources are increasingly limited. There is much talk of "developing cities on existing ones" and of reducing travel, but the fact is that our cities continue to expand and to consume natural and rural land. There, therefore, remains the time resource, which can be combined with the other two, and places man at the heart of the reflection. It can be combined with the fundamental energy and space resources in such a way as to lead to new spatial and functional organization of cities, to a chrono-urbanism that makes it possible to envisage new ways of regulating now adaptable cities. Through the versatility and modularity of public spaces, buildings and city districts, communication brings forward the ecology of time, which makes it possible to set the right tempo for the post-carbon city. The temporal approach also implies a flexible morphology, multiservice buildings, the invention of adaptable urban design, the development of a new type of ergonomics, of an information and signalling systems that can be adapted according to the different times and usages of public space. This also requires new professionals and new technical tools for managing an "augmented city".
