transition from the industrial to the infor-
mation society calls for a new kind of learning.
outstanding potentials for this exist in
urban communities, where there is a concentration of both formal
and informal educational facilities for children, youths, and adults;
these must be developed. Urban space and the architecture of educational
institutions can create inviting, encouraging, and inspiring
settings in which to learn.
the international building exhibition Hamburg adopts such contexts
as a working emphasis within the framework of its key theme CoS-
mopoliS. volume 3 in the metropoliS: series enquires after the new
city of the information society and its need for innovative “pedagogic
architecture,” and also presents examples of reformative intervention
for discussion.

Metropolis: Metrozones
desiGns for the future of the metropolis
iba HambUrg (ed.)
WWW.ibA-hAMburg.De
in the midst of our cities, on waste ground
between city and landscape, streets of traffic
and port or industrial areas, there are
some exciting urban spaces: metrozones,
the most important potentials for sustainable
development. Here, the inner city is
suddenly cut off, and the full dynamics of the metropolis and its
streams of people and goods can develop—in a unique language of
functioning, provision, and distribution.
at present, entirely new fields of possibility are opening up in such
places, giving rise to innovative, sustainable strategies of urban development:
projects that solve the conflicts burdening such districts
and generate a new quality of urban space—not suburban idylls, but
powerful, lively areas that create a new part of the city within the
city. volume 4 of the metropoliS: series illuminates strategies and
shows visions for the urban transformation of metrozones in the 21st
century.
