Kobe Reconstruction: Community Planning, Design and Construction Practices

*9632508日本神户地震后的重建工作是这个项目的重点。这场灾难的规模如此之大，重建过程极其复杂，在地震应对、恢复和重建的几乎每一个方面都有许多教训需要吸取。这项研究将从多学科的角度(城市规划、建筑和城市设计以及工程)主要关注物理重建，并将神户重建的经验与美国最近的经验和做法进行比较和对比。我们会研究三个基本层面的重建工作：(1)更换同一幅土地上的个别建筑物；(2)在现有的一般街道模式(住宅区)内，更换同一幅土地上的一组建筑物；及(3)重新规划和更换社区，包括更改街道走线和创造不同的空间布局(新市镇综合大楼)。*

*** 9632508 Preuss This project focuses on reconstruction following the January 17, 1995 earthquake that struck Kobe, Japan. The magnitude of this disaster was such that the reconstruction process is extremely complex, and there are many lessons to be learned in almost every aspect of earthquake response, recovery and reconstruction. The study will give primary attention to physical reconstruction from a multi-disciplinary perspective (urban planning, architecture and urban design, and engineering) and will compare and contrast the Kobe reconstruction experience with recent experience and practice in the United States. Three basic levels of reconstruction will be investigated: (1) replacement of individual buildings on the same site, (2) replacement of groups of buildings on the same site within the existing general street pattern (residential tracts), and (3) replanning and replacement of neighborhoods involving changes in street alignment and creation of different spatial layouts (new town complexes).***
