THE HOLLOW CITY : A RING AS AN URBAN UTOPIA OR AS A MODEL FOR SUSTAINABLE URBANIZATION ?

Résumé

Nor compact, nor sprawled, the hollow city is built exclusively in the immédiate vicinity of a tramway line designed as a ring. It therefore looks like a succession of dense and functionnaly mixed districts —sort of delocalised linear city centre— surrounding a vast green area. This city grows not in a « surfacic way » —by sprawling—, but in a « linear way »— by weaving additional meshes. In this paper, the principles of the hollow city are first presented. The relevance of this urban model as an alternative for future urban designing and landscape planning is then discussed, especially in terms of its sustainability : a quantitative assessment thus shows that such a city would be highly efficient, in terms of energy saving as well as ground saving. The question of feasibility of a hollow city implementation is at last brought up through some case studies.
