In the book 'Bouwen in Nederland 600-2000', edited by prof. dr. Koos Bosma, prof. dr. Aart Mekkering, prof. dr. Koen Ottenheym and prof. dr. Auke van der Woud, published in 2007, a chapter with the title 'Groene stedebouwkunde', written by dr. G.M. Andela and prof. dr. J.E. Bosma, can be read ( in Dutch). In this chapter, on page 582, a definition of urbanism is given: De stedebouwkunde is een denk - en handelswijze die bestuurlijk handelen, procedures en vormconcepten ontwikkelt voor de exploitatie en inrichting van de aardbodem.
I translate: Urbanism is a way of thinking and acting, while developing boarding, procedures and shapeconcepts, for the exploitation and 'furnituring' the surface of planet Earth.
This is a definition, thought of and written down, after studying 20st century urban action, material and policies.
Now, in the 21 st century, in 2015, I showed in my previous blogs that thinking is acting. Thinking is a quite invisiblele action. It can be visualised by writing texts and by making drawings and by talking. If I combine this with my workexperience as an urban designer in the period 2001-2007, working together with politicians, urban planners and other urban designers. I can counter, complete and introduce nuances the definition given.
For my phd study with the title 'Plants, cities, the professional, Europe', I shall work with the following definition:
Urbanism is a thinking, drawing, writing, talking, learning and enjoying profession, where a diversity of professionals and civilians cooperate and which takes place in and around cities, especially in Europe.
