Between 1945 and 1989 some tens or even some hundreds new projects of the new metropolitan Wroclaw were drawn up - for the center, for individual districts, as well as comprehensive plans of the city. Post-war projects discussed by the author were not carried out mainly because of economic restrictions - there was first of all need to built houses, not 'a city of the future'. Today those, not carried out and perhaps a bit utopian, visions provide knowledge about the architects and urbanists who wanted to create the new Wroclaw - a place full of sun light and glass, where inhabitants could walk in the green belts and streets full of high speed cars. The purpose of those projects was also to integrate particular parts of the city, creating the urban area in places where it disappeared as the result of the War. This comprehensive thinking about the urban space is the most important value of the forgotten projects, because not only skyscrapers are the evidence of the metropolitan character of the city, but just the ability to join architecture and town planning and to compose buildings, streets and squares in a harmonious way.

This paper describes the general concepts of Arnold Berleant's urban metaphors (garden city, forest city, asphalt jungle, wilderness) in order to use them as a background for presenting a different perspective on the aesthetics of engagement through the prism of contemporary dance strategies and design practices in architecture and urban planning.

The article was intended to reconsider Riga city plans as well as projects to follow the ideas, inspirations, proposals and conditions that became the basis of the city planning in the second half of the 19th century. The chronological frame of the period under scrutiny is set up by the Riga plans prepared in 1843 and 1864. The situation in urban planning changed significantly over twenty years but some restrictions remained in place. On 2 March 1856 the Riga City Council got an official permission from St. Petersburg to pull down Riga fortifications. The Organising Commission of Fortification Removal worked out a theoretical programme oriented towards fostering of commerce, trade increase in the port and transformation of the fortification moat into a canal with free-standing public buildings. This strategy is examined in the context of European urban planning solutions. Historical plans and archival materials testify to an orientation towards Northern German experience. Riga city architect Johann Daniel Felsko with his assistant, civil engineer Otto Dietze worked out the technical project till 4 January 1857. It envisaged a glass-covered shopping passage by the River Daugava, as well as public buildings in the place of former bastions and ravelins opposite the St. Petersburg suburb but a district of trade and warehouses of regular layout was to be built in the South-East of the city (opposite the Moscow suburb) behind the canal, standing between the Railway Station and the River Daugava. Felsko and Dietze expected six years and 1,5 million roubles being necessary to realise these works. Because of bureaucratic formalities and scarcity of financial resources still other projects were designed (1858, 1860, 1862) that clearly manifested a wish to reduce costs, carry out just the most indispensable removal of fortifications and retain as much as possible the existing embankment line of the fortification moat. Most ardent discussions and opinion shifts were related to the layout of port basin near the warehouse district that finally did not appear in the initially planned volume. Riga city fortifications were abolished from 15 November 1857 till 31 December 1863.

In this contribution, I discuss the potential inclusion of the third gender in future city projects. Drawing on Braidotti’s post-human context, which opens up new ways of reinterpreting the evolution of our species, I focus on the concept of ‘other’ understood as ‘extra-terrestrial’. To do this, I use two structural paradigms: Richard Shusterman’s somaesthetics, in which body and gender are seen as identifying with each other, and the third gender, which allows the body to detach from its usual subjugation to gender. Paul B. Preciado’s book Can the Monster Speak?, published only one year ago, opened a conversation about the epistemological deconstruction of bodies. Preciado tells us that we “we are all in transition”, which means we must consider how to welcome others and adapt public and private spaces for a new way of being in the world. To propose a possible answer to the question of living, in particular, I refer to two case studies from the contemporary history of urban planning: the Vienna Women Work City and Petra Doan’s theory about the tyranny of gender in public spaces.

In the article the attention is paid to one of the scientific fields which contributed to the mature discipline of urban planning in the Polish territories. Theoreticians (and practitioners as well) of public hygiene were much aware of the urban problems, which were conspicuous especially in the cities of the so called Russian Poland, misruled in many respects by the Tsarist authorities. More and more detailed proposals and instructions how to improve the sanitary condition in e.g. Warsaw, Lviv, Cracow and Poznan, cities belonging to Russian, Austria-Hungary and Germany at that time, made by physicians and sanitary engineers, paved the way to a new scientific field in its own right. Some conclusions made in these public debates were later adopted by other professionals who dealt with the urban spatial development (like urban planners), what helped to establish the Polish school of urban planning after 1916.

The principles of modern urban planning began to be applied in the Kingdom of Hungary in the second half of the 19th century. In most cases, the first regulation plans appeared around 1900, when these cities were experiencing dynamic growth. The ideas generated in the first plans for regulation and long-term development pre-determined the development of these cities and has determined their form until today. The study considers the principles and approaches applied in modern planning at the turn of the century. Using the example of two cities – Bratislava and Nový Sad – it analyses the key terms applied in expert discussion at the time, their use in territorial planning practice and the contribution of the notable Hungarian city planning expert Antal Palóczi to this discussion.

Even if in terms of the highest intensity of construction and development of the modern military barracks, we may consider the period of dualist Austria-Hungary as the breakthrough period. The army played an important role in the process of formation of the common state of the Czechs and Slovaks as well. The military design office operating under the Territorial Military Building Directorate and established during the First Czechoslovak Republic had taken over the spatial and layout regulations from the monarchy era, however, due to the territorial repartitioning, it had to build a lot of new military structures in the newly originated border areas. Thus, several large barrack areas grew all around the country, often influencing the material structure of the cities and its subsequent construction development in a substantial way. Therefore (as a follow-up to the contribution published in the previous issue of the Vojenská história journal 4/2017), the study clarifies the architectural, historical and social development of the barracks after 1918 and analyses the impact of military architecture on the appearance of the selected Slovak cities. The text characteristics of individual settlements and barracks are accompanied by the graphic map schemes marking the spatial effect of the military buildings.
