Painting the Town Orange Omelchenko immediately rejected the use of force to disperse the growing throngs of demonstrators and protestors. The mayor went further, paying back Kuchma for the president’s various attempts to drive him from office, by literally keeping the lights on in the Maydan. City officials kept the subways and busses running, the sound stage volume turned up high, the enormous stadium-sized television screens switched on. City officials spurred on revolution merely by operating as if all were normal. Omelchenko chose, in the end, to treat the presence of well over a million protestors as if it were just a particularly large turn out for the annual City Day celebrations held each fall. The city streets of a once totalitarian city better known for its Stalinist architecture have become symbols of democratic national rebirth and the Ukrainian word for plaza, maydan, has now become synonymous with democracy. | 17 |
CHAPTER 2 THE HISTORIC CENTER AS AN OBJECT OF DESIRE FERNANDO CARRIÓN M. INTRODUCTION In this chapter, I present several hypotheses about the relationship between historic centers, public space, and large urban projects, with the understanding that the historic center is the public space par excellence. This proposal will be developed in an optimistic context that views the city as a solution and considers the historic center an object of desire. It is necessary to overcome the stigma and pessimism often associated with the city. This pessimism is two-fold. On one hand, the city is often seen as a source of anomie and chaos expressed, for example, in the idea of a cement jungle. This neo-Malthusianist view of the city is of something that creates violence and poverty. On the other hand, the city has been periodically declared dead. 1 From these negative conceptions of the city came the notion that the process of rural to urban migration had to be stopped to halt the growth of cities and, consequently, halt the growth of urban problems. However, we now see after a period of accelerated urbanization in Latin America 2 that poverty is greatly reduced in cities. 3 1. “Has the city died Now it is globalization that kills it. Before, it was the metropolization that developed with the Industrial Revolution. And before it was the baroque city, which extended outside medieval boundaries. Periodically, when historic change appears to accelerate and is perceptible in the expansive forms of urban development, the death of the city is declared” (Borja 2003: 23). 2. “Taking note of the high degree of urbanization reaching the region, the Regional Action Plan proposed the challenge of making this characteristic an advantage, instead of continuing to consider it a problem as had been the usual discourse in the previous decade” (Mac Donald and Simioni 1999: 7). 3. “In all countries, poverty tends to be greater in rural areas than in urban areas, and it tends to be lesser in the larger cities than in the intermediate and small cities…. On the contrary, in the majority of countries urban concentration has not been a negative factor, since it has allowed for access to goods and services to a greater measure than what prevailed in the time of rural dominance” (Jordan and Simioni 2002: 15). | 19 |
