Abstract

The author's intention in the paper is to underline the essential role that must be played by the people affected by any ecological project for this to be considered in any way successful. The paper in itself is divided up into three parts, beginning with a schematic overview of the history of cities and architecture over the last two hundred years, the author next goes on to consider three cases in which the in-dwellers activities and ideas have been the governing factors behind the stability on an on-going process. In the final section, the author attempts to draw some conclussions as to the nature of the interaction between technical instruments and the popular will in the light of an ecological designing and administrating of both cities and buildings as communities. This third part makes use of a degree of mathematical material which, the author hopes, will not be too off-putting.
