Spremembe so stalnica
Podnebne spremembe, demografske spremembe, spremembe 
zakonodaje …, skoraj vsak dan slišimo ali beremo o njih in 
se nam ne zdijo nič novega. So pa še druge, tudi bolj osebne, 
lahko bi jim rekli življenjske spremembe. Nanje se odzivamo 
vsak po svoje in odvisno od okoliščin, se jih navadimo ali pa 
se jim postavimo po robu. Ni pa res, da samo spremembe vpli-
vajo na nas, tudi mi lahko vplivamo na spremembe. Vplivamo 
kot posamezniki in kot del skupnosti, da bo svet boljši za vse. 
Spreminjajoče se podnebje, starajoče se prebivalstvo in stalna 
urbana rast so vzporedni procesi, ki so spodbudili raziskavo 
učinka mestnega toplotnega otoka na zdravje ljudi v Rotter-
damu. Izsledki te raziskave so predstavljeni v prvem članku 
tokratne številke Urbanega izziva. Sledi članek o nasprotujo-
čih si pristopih francoske urbanistične politike za spodbujanje 
gradnje socialnih stanovanj, ki temelji na zagotavljanju pravice 
do stanovanja za vsakogar in doseganju socialne raznolikosti 
v soseskah. V naslednjem članku je predstavljena primerjava 
preobrazbe degradiranih območij v Barceloni in Seulu, s po-
udarkom na družbenih vidikih tega procesa. Četrti članek se 
osredotoča na vsebino in splošno razumevanje pojmov javno 
dobro, skupni viri in skupno dobro ter na slovenskem primeru 
izpostavi pomen ustreznega upravljanja in ohranjanja omeje-
nih naravnih virov. Vsebino revije zaokroža predstavitev knjige 
o Plečnikovih študentih v Le Corbusierovem ateljeju. V knjigi 
so opisani njihove življenjske poti in dosežki, ki so jih s šir-
jenjem obzorja prispevali k slovenski moderni arhitekturi in 
urbanizmu. 
Želim vam prijetno branje!

Change is a constant
Climate changes, demographic changes, changes in legislation 
– we hear and read about them almost every day, and we sim-
ply take them for granted. But there are also other changes, 
including those of a more personal nature, which may also be 
referred to as life changes. Everyone responds to them in his or 
her own way and, depending on the circumstances, we either 
get used to them or resist them. True, changes influence us, 
but we can also influence them – as individuals and as part 
of the community in order to create a better world for all.
A changing climate, an aging population, and ongoing urban 
growth are parallel processes that inspired the research on the 
urban heat island effect on people’s health in Rotterdam, pre-
sented in the first article of this latest issue of Urbani izziv. 
This is followed by an article on the opposing approaches of 
the French urban planning policy for promoting the develop-
ment of social housing, which is based on ensuring the right 
to housing for everyone and achieving social diversity in neigh-
bourhoods. The third article compares the transformation of 
deprived urban areas in Barcelona and Seoul, focusing on the 
social aspects of this process. The fourth article discusses the 
meaning and general understanding of the terms public good, 
common-pool resources, and the commons, using the case of 
Slovenia to highlight the importance of proper governance 
and preservation of subtractable natural resources. This issue 
is rounded off by a review of a book on Jože Plečnik’s students 
that worked in Le Corbusier’s studio in Paris. The work de-
scribes their lives and the achievements they contributed to 
modern Slovenian architecture and urban planning by broad-
ening their horizons.
I wish you pleasant reading.
