Place or Nonplace: The City as Domain or as Field<\/strong><\/h1>\n

In the early 1960s, faculty members at UC Berkeley developed rival theories of urban and architectural design and their relationship to place. Charles Moore and three other Berkeley architecture faculty wrote a manifesto, \u201cToward Making Places,\u201d that was published in J.B. Jackson\u2019s journal Landscape (1962). Moore and his co-authors valorized a geographic notion of place and called on architects to recover the symbolic function of design and create orderly, human-centric spaces. Contemporaneously, faculty in City and Regional Planning and East Coast planners challenged geographic concepts of place in Explorations into Urban Structure (1964) and proposed new models concerned with the pattern, structure, and dynamics of the metropolitan complex. Melvin Webber\u2019s contribution, \u201cThe Urban Place and the Nonplace Urban Realm,\u201d boldly asserted the primacy of \u201cnonplace\u201d community over geographic place in the modern city. Positing \u201ccommunity without propinquity,\u201d Webber emphasized the importance of deracinated networks of human interaction to the modern city, anticipating later theories of networked urbanism. Comparing these two theories, I contextualize the concepts relative to postwar theories of ecology, mobility and landscape.<\/p>\n
