Social Strategies in European Neighborhood Planning

What is it that defines our wellbeing? It is mostly our financial situation and our social values and structures. The quality of urban living is jeopardized by the impact of globalization and major role of economy on urban system. The cities are in urgent need to get release from dominance of business and economy - which plays their share of importance; furthermore an ethical approach with attention to individuals needs to be elemental again. Human scale has been forgotten in the process of building of bigger and larger spaces. This is creating a significant difference between something very big, thus impersonal, and something smaller, thus intimate. Our sensory development is closely tight to landscape. That is why it is vital to redefine balance between city and nature, where the environment is of primary care, and allows to citizens a life of shared experience.
