CIUDAD CITY Territorio para la Innovación

PUBLICATIONS

CiudadCity develops specific publishing projects for public and private customers. Mainly within the environments of the city, architecture and design, such as the biannual catalogues for The Basque/Navarran Official Architect College Architecture Awards.

Our company develops its own line of publications under the concept known as EdiciónCiudad. It is a collection in which we have already published many volumes on the cities of Havana, Miami Beach and Panama City, and in which EdiciónesCiudad are being prepared for Bilbao and San Juan in Puerto Rico.

The institutions which are promoting these publications view the results obtained from their distribution as very positive and are already identifying new potential projects, not only to promote the image of their cities but also for to attract external resources and projects and create permanent platforms for reflection and debate on their possible urban futures.

· Monograph on Old Havana + Traditional Seafront facade. 1999

· EdiciónCiudad 1, Miami Beach, with Ocean Drive facade. 2000.

· EdiciónCiudad 2, Panama City Old Town, with walled edge facade. 2001.

For a city or a region which wants to use our digital management Navigator, the publication of an EdiciónCiudad can be very interesting due, mainly, to two reasons:

· The important institutional synergies which a publishing product with these characteristics can cause with a view to attracting interest and commitment for the following phases.

· The publishing work is aimed mainly at collecting together information and contents which are necessary for the future applications of the CiudadCity Navigators.

· It is a product whose marketing can start to generate financing for the digital tools of CiudadCity, with a view to providing economic autonomy for initiatives which, in many occasions, need the initial impulse of international organisms such as the United Nations.

Furthermore, EdiciónesCiudad has the vocation to publish annually or biannually and aspire to being the register and the ?thermometer? for the conflicts and opportunities which may arise in their cities.

Maybe the elements which make the CiudadCity publishing products stand out from the rest are the architectural and photographic promotion of the urban facades of the most representative spaces in a city, as they are the key graphic elements which interrelate and unify the publications with the CiudadCity Navigators.

In this way, these elements have two graphic options:

· The digital option, such as information channels for CiudadCity Navigators.

· The other in the press, in posters, CityBoxes... and in the central publishing product of CiudadCity: the EdiciónesCiudad.
