ABSTRACT

This paper explores how local culture may curb the homogenizing forces of globalization in the diffusion of planning ideas. Given that the built environment is constructed both physically and culturally, this paper draws a comparative case study of territorial planning and the creation of new towns in Israel and Brazil in the mid-twentieth century. The private colonization scheme in northern Paraná state, in Brazil, and the Physical Planning in Israel were both based on widely influential ideas collected in the Greater London Plan 1944. Although the resulting regional strategies were similar, their urban forms differed largely due to their unique modes of being-in-the-world. While the Israeli new towns acclimatized the physical aspects of garden cities for ideological reasons, the Brazilian new cities stuck to a more practical gridiron layout. As a conclusion, this study illustrates how culturally sensitive projects gave local form to ideas and models that had been diffused through global interconnectivity.

摘要

本文探讨了地方文化如何在规划理念的传播中抑制全球化的同质化力量。鉴于建筑环境是在物理和文化上构建的，本文对 20 世纪中叶以色列和巴西的领土规划和新城镇的创建进行了比较案例研究。巴西巴拉那州北部的私人殖民计划和以色列的物理规划均基于1944 年大伦敦计划中收集的具有广泛影响力的想法. 尽管由此产生的区域战略相似，但它们的城市形态在很大程度上是由于其独特的在世模式而不同。虽然以色列的新城镇出于意识形态的原因适应了花园城市的物理方面，但巴西的新城市坚持更实用的网格布局。作为结论，这项研究说明了文化敏感项目如何将通过全球互联传播的想法和模式赋予当地形式。
