Description



Book Synopsis



Viele beliebte Gebirgsorte entwickeln sich seit Jahrzehnten weitgehend unkontrolliert durch Multiplikation archetypischer Chalets. Damit geht zumeist die Erschließung durch den privaten Autoverkehr einher.

Um die umgebenden Tourismus- und Naturgebiete vor weiterer Zersiedelung zu schützen, untersucht die Autorin so unterschiedliche Ortsstrukturen wie Andermatt, Avoriaz, Verbier und Zermatt sowie Whistler-Blackomb in Kanada. Aus detaillierten grafischen Analysen entwickelt sie wegweisende Strategien zur städtebaulichen Verdichtung und zu einer angepassten Mobilität, die sich auf andere Tourismusregionen übertragen lassen.



Review Quotes




"The challenges society faces from urbanisation have been increasingly well documented, as have the benefits of building at higher densities. Indeed, the need for places to continue to adapt whilst giving more space to people walking and reducing our reliance on cars is widely accepted; the question now is how best to achieve this. Urbanizing the Alps picks up on this, framing the conversation directly around the unique challenges facing Alpine towns, giving the discussion another angle that is both interesting and informative. A research-led study, the book dives into the complexities and growth of Alpine communities, taking into account the unique climate, topography and seasonal tourism associated with them."
Jack Pritchard in: urban Design 151 (2019), 48
