2 Urban development in a nutshell Enormous growth: Population, economy, spatial expansion Growth and structural change without any significant influence of urban planning (until very recently) Main factors or drivers : Accessibility (public providers), plus Land Development (private sector) Economic structural change in the extended metropolitan area: Manufacturing >> Services Spatial changes: Several CBDs, leapfrogging, land fragmentation Models : Tokyo, Los Angeles, Asian Mega City Bangkok as one of the patterns of urbanization in Asia (but there are many fine differences among cities!) 2
3 Assumptions (1972) Reality (2002) (Bangkok Transportation Study, completed in 1975) Explicitly: Wrong! Still rather poor.. Urban planning exists and functions well (experts, 1970) National pop n growth slowly down Much from faster, > 3% down ( ) to < 1% Projected growth (Greater Bangkok Area, 1990) Correct 8 million estimate Implicitly: Long-term projection of economic Dynamics growth impossible and structural to imagine change for the whole country More important than assumed Role of the private sector as a driving force Linkages with and impacts of Much the global stronger economy than anticipated Changes of public awareness Much of environmental more than ever issues assumed 3

Some Bangkok Projects can be added to The Great Planning Disasters (Sir Peter Hall, 1982) The Chaos Principle is on the decline Notions of a System are increasingly noticeable The Vitality / Resilience is simply amazing Progress in Urban Management (including environmental management and action) Prognosis: Cautiously optimistic, but obstacles and risks must be recognized realistically 19
