    A city of multiple hearts: historic squares of Budapest from the 19th century to the present.
    (2019)
    Budapest is one of those European cities which do have a historic centre but do not possessone dominant main square today. The article traces the evolution of Budapest as amulti-focal city, concentrating on the network of its historic squares and seeking explanationsfor the city's polycentric character. Among the explanations, historical discontinuities will be featured alongside radical inner-city reconstruction projects, carried out at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries; that was the time when the original town hall and town hall square of the Pest side disappeared, together with much of the Pest inner city's premodern urban tissue. Subsequent sections emphasize further, unrealized plans of grandiose inner-city reconstruction in various phases of the city's history, including the failed attempts of establishing a new central "forum" in the interwar period, the cancelled plans of communist governments to refashion the inner city in the spirit of "socialist" architecture, and the never-completed project of erecting a new, central City Hall throughout the 20th and early 21st century. The article pays special attention to the functional diversity of historic squares, highlighting various types of squares which have augmented each other since the time of their construction and which all carry some functions of single-centre towns' traditional main squares. As far as the present physiology of Budapest is concerned, today's municipal government structure and the extensive autonomy of the individual districts will also be identified among the reasons for the city's multi-focal nature.

    Das Herz Hamburgs? Der Rathausmarkt im Widerstreit von lokaler Politik und medialer Öffentlichkeit in den 1970er und 1980er Jahren.
    (2019)
    Hamburg's town hall square as a central open square in front of the town hall is rhetorically characterized as the "heart of the city", but whether it has actually been a reference point of identity for the citizens since its construction in the late 1840s is an open question. Against this background, the article focuses on the public debate between 1977 and 1982 about its redesign. While it was initially welcomed in the mid-1970s under the impression of changes in urban planning models, the concrete measures and the costs of the rebuilding were soon scandalized by the political opposition and parts of the local media. When the conversion was completed in 1982, the redesigned square met with broad approval among the residents. Although the traffic function, which had been dominant since the inter-war period, was reduced, the square is still considered uncomfortable and attracts larger crowds only for commercial events.

    Un incitamento alla rivolta - Plätze des Protests in Venedig. Kontroversen um den Ausverkauf der Stadt.
    (2019)
    The article focuses on selected examples of protest in the public urban space of Venice. The city's imbalanced situation in terms of economy, society and culture has driven its inhabitants to the streets and squares in increasing numbers over the last two decades. The town hall is one of the meeting points for demonstrations, but there is no clearly defined place of encounter. Political manifestations take place at various symbolic and strategic locations in the city, and not only for topographical reasons. The example of the lagoon city illustrates how urban topography and architecture shape the communication processes of the inhabitants, influence their appropriation of places of political relevance, and lead the actors to create new physical and virtual spaces of action.

    Was geschieht mit unseren Stadtplätzen?
    (1985)
    Die großen Stadtplätze haben ihr Erscheinungsbild und ihre Funktion im Laufe der Geschichte immer wieder verändert. So wurde der einstige "Schmuckplatz" vielfach zum "Verkehrsplatz". Beispiele aus Berlin verdeutlichen diese Veränderungen. Anlässlich einer Ausstellung des BDA Berlin mit dem Thema "Berliner Plätze - Gestaltungsaufgabe oder Verwaltungsakt?" wird die Frage einer zukünftigen Rolle des Stadtplatzes aufgeworfen. Dabei wird deutlich, dass es hinsichtlich des Erscheinungsbilds und Nutzens der öffentlichen Stadtplätze keine Patenvorschläge gibt. hez
