Title: Fine Grain, Global City: Jan Gehl, Public Space and Commercial Culture in Central Sydney
Abstract:
There is growing awareness among many city councils that
their downtowns or central business districts have become bland or devoid
of sufficient cultural activity to attract the highly skilled, creative
workforce that is seen as a prerequisite for competitive success. This
paper examines a recent set of policy initiatives to have emerged from the
City of Sydney Council that has explicitly sought to mitigate the negative
design outcomes of earlier phases of modernist office development through
the promotion of a 'finer grain' urbanism, based around support for small
shops and services, civic spaces oriented towards pedestrians and the
reinvigoration of intra-block laneways enlivened by small bars and cafes.
The noted Danish urban designer Jan Gehl was an important agent in the
development of these strategies, along with the success of similar
policies in Melbourne, illustrating the significance of globally operative
design professionals and inter-city learning. However, these policies have
not gone uncontested, and the paper examines the political context that
surrounds their implementation in central Sydney.

Title: Brave New City: Three Problems in Chinese Urban Public Space since the 1980s
Abstract:
After three decades of urban renewal in China, public spaces
used by average residents have not been improved proportionally and, in
some cases, have even deteriorated. Three problems can be identified.
'Window-dressing' prevails in government-developed squares and parks.
Their locations and monumentality have made residents less willing to use
these spaces. 'Privatization' describes how private developers maximize
profits at the cost of public life in the urban environment surrounding
their projects. 'Gentrification', different from its meaning in the West,
refers to the tendency to ignore the needs of mid- and low-income
residents in public facilities. Not entirely a repetition of the 1950s
Western urban renewal, the Chinese cases reflect a society changing from a
socialist system to a capitalist one.

Title: Shaping Lujiazui: The Formation and Building of the CBD in Pudong, Shanghai
Abstract:
Acknowledging the globalization of Chinese cities, this paper
studies its influence on the formation of a newly-built Central Business
District in China. Used as a case study, the Lujiazui Financial District
of Shanghai Pudong is a commendable achievement in urban development
during the past 19 years. This paper reviews the background to the
planning of Lujjiazui and comments on the international design competition
that exhibited different planning approaches to the district. By reviewing
the various plans and comparing them with the adopted project by the local
institute, the authors reveal the reasons for the way Lujiazui was planned
and built and discover a new type of Chinese city which was shaped by both
global and market forces.

Title: Visual Exposure and Visual Openness: An Integrated Approach and Comparative Evaluation
Abstract:
This paper reports on the development of an integrated model
analyzing Visual Exposure and Visual Openness in the urban environment.
The authors propose a measurable morphological approach that could
contribute to the planning and design process. High permeability to a view
is one of the main objectives in the development of dense urban areas. It
can influence a resident's satisfaction and the real estate value. In
addition, Visual Exposure, referring to privacy, is also a major aspect
influencing quality of the human environment. Combining these two
important factors and being able to measure and evaluate both of them in
one model is of a great importance and can support a sustainable urban
environment.

Title: From Dichotomy to Dialectic: Practising Theory in Urban Design
Abstract:
A conventional assumption about theory and practice is that
they represent a dichotomy in which theory represents abstract thinking to
explain observations, while practice depends on a more instrumental
conception of knowledge to help accomplish tasks. The paper examines this
dichotomy under the premise that urban design is primarily an intellectual
activity, and that the theory/practice relationship can take a number of
mutually beneficial forms, especially dialectical ones. Furthermore, the
paper suggests that since urban design is a complex and multifaceted
field, the most useful theories are ones that are integrative (i.e. that
incorporate function, form and process) rather than singular (e.g. based
almost exclusively on ideas of green design, technology or historicism).
These ideas were tested in an experimental urban design studio for
graduate students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2009.
The paper introduces the theory being applied, Kevin Lynch's book Good
City Form, describes the pedagogical process as an investigation of the
theory/practice relationship, and concludes with insights for professional
practice.

Title: Echoes of the 'Berkeley School': An Italian Experience of Urban Planning
Abstract:
Beyond the specificity of each country it is possible to
recognize some common and durable theories, practices and techniques for
planning and design in Europe and in the US. It is useful to observe how
they are renewing themselves in order to accept the challenge of the deep
changes in the patterns and lifestyles of contemporary settlements.
According to this point of view a recent Italian experience will be
considered, beginning with the three + six modes presented by Kevin Lynch
more than 25 years ago when he wrote The Immature Arts of City
Design.

Title: The Burdens of Place: A Socio-economic and Ethnic/Racial Exploration into Urban Form, Accessibility and Travel Behaviour in the Lansing Capital Region, Michigan
Abstract:
The paper examines the relationship between urban form,
socio-economic status, ethnicity, accessibility and pedestrian activity in
the Lansing Capital Region, Michigan. This research explores the burdens
of urban environments through a study of accessibility and travel
behaviour in an urban region characterized by rapid suburbanization and
urban decline. Specifically, the study seeks to answer how socio-economic
and ethnic status affect accessibility and travel behaviour in urban
environments that have traditionally been viewed as promoting walking;
built environments characterized by higher densities, mixed land uses and
greater connectivity. The research shows that the traditional relationship
between higher densities, mixed land uses, higher connectivity, greater
accessibility and pedestrian activity is not as strong in declining inner
cities.

Title: Green-Networks: Integrating Alternative Circulation Systems into Post-industrial Cities
Abstract:
Many post-industrial cities
are infused with ready-made spaces for non-vehicular circulation in the
form of webs of linear voids that often result from industrial era
infrastructure. There have been many successful conversions of individual
linear easements into greenways, although attempting to craft continuous
green-networks from these residual spaces is often problematic. This paper
considers how designers and planners might start to reconcile the
aspirations of the green-network as a model and an idea with the actual
opportunities on the ground as typically found in post-industrial cities.
Central to the discussion is an extension of Robert Searns' greenway
generational rubric, whereby the present generation of greenways is
described as complete webs to rival the grey infrastructure of the
incumbent city fabric. Within this framework, the paper elaborates on a
number of themes: (1) how effective green-networks are at influencing
urban form; (2) the green-network as a counterbalance to the city; (3)
speed versus slowness; (4) issues of intersection and grade separation;
(5) the concept of interwoven green/grey space; and (6) the greenway
network model versus the standalone circuit. The paper concludes with a
call for expanding the greenway nomenclature to reflect the actual
diversity of the genre.

Title: Nonconformity and Street Design in West Hollywood, California
Abstract:
Nonconforming people and activities challenge municipal
governments. Using the US city of West Hollywood, California, as a case
study, this paper argues planning tools such as design interventions for
commercial streets cannot intentionally include nonconforming people or
activities. West Hollywood drew national attention when it incorporated in
1984 as a progressive city with unique demographics, most notably a high
percentage of gay residents. In the subsequent decades, it became a more
exclusive city of leisure and entertainment. This case study helps explain
why the redesign of its commercial streets became more exclusive despite
the city's continued progressive politics and commitment to diversity.

Title: The Attitudes, Perceptions and Concerns of Pedestrians and Vulnerable Road Users to Shared Space: A Case Study from the UK
Abstract:
The concept of shared space is increasingly being
incorporated into urban areas in the UK, promoting a major change in the
way streets are designed. Shared space is a design feature that aims to
encourage pedestrians, cyclists and drivers to share the same deregulated
space. However, there is a lack of evidence underpinning shared space, in
terms of attitudes and usability, particularly for vulnerable road users
including blind and partially sighted, elderly and wheelchair users. This
research used street accessibility audits and focus groups with vulnerable
pedestrians and 100 completed on-street questionnaires to investigate
attitudes and behaviour towards a shared space scheme in Hereford, UK. The
findings have shown that despite being very positive towards the scheme,
particularly in terms of aesthetics, pedestrians and vulnerable road users
had a number of issues and concerns with the design and usability of
Widemarsh Street, in particular with nuances of design including the kerbs
and vehicular access to the street.

Title: Understanding Urban Practitioners' Perspectives on Social-Mix Policies in Amsterdam: The Importance of Design and Social Space
Abstract:
Throughout recent decades, socially-mixed neighbourhoods have
become a key element of urban policy and debate. This paper argues, with
Amsterdam as an empirical case, that the design, layout and everyday use
of social space-including public and private space-is of key importance in
understanding the experiences and perspectives of social-mix policies
amongst 'urban practitioners', such as planners, architects and management
personnel. While the promotion of 'liveability', through the management of
social problems, is often highlighted as a key element of social-mix
policies, the findings presented indicate the degree to which the mixing
of different groups according to ethnicity, race and social class presents
a number of new challenges for liveability and management within both
public and private space. Furthermore, it is argued that these challenges
play a significant role in dictating the scale at which social mixing
takes place, from the urban block to the street and at the neighbourhood
level. It is concluded that a greater amount of attention is needed to
such factors in understanding the dynamics of social interaction in public
and private communal space when seeking to understand the everyday
realities of socially-mixed neighbourhoods.

Title: The Quandary of Post-Public Space: New Urbanism, Melrose Arch and the Rebuilding of Johannesburg after Apartheid
Abstract:
As city builders in post-apartheid Johannesburg have
struggled to attach themselves to a new identity as an African
'world-class' city, they point with pride to what leading local architects
and design specialists have glowingly hailed as a novel experiment with
New Urbanism called Melrose Arch. With its stress on mixed-use facilities,
its pedestrian-friendly streetscapes and its 'small town' atmosphere,
Melrose Arch represents a real-life variant of a 'utopia in miniature', a
signature place offering the type of authentic community lacking in the
sprawling residential suburbs. Yet despite its outward appearance as an
exemplar of New Urbanist principles, Melrose Arch actually falls far short
of the philosophical ideals embodied in the Charter for New Urbanism. As a
self-contained urban enclave disconnected from the surrounding cityscape
and accessible only by automobile, this affluent, mixed-used precinct has
reinforced the trend toward up-market, stand-alone commercial retail
environments for all those who can afford it, regardless of race,
ethnicity or national origin. Seen through the wide-angle lens of spatial
restructuring of the greater Johannesburg metropolitan region after the
end of apartheid, upscale themed entertainment sites such as Melrose Arch
have contributed to the increased fragmentation of the urban landscape.

Title: Planning and Sense of Place in a 'Dying' Downtown: Articulating Memories and Visions in Middletown, Ohio
Abstract:
Integrating place perceptions in context-sensitive
development remains a challenge for planners and designers, particularly
in de-industrialized cities desperate for downtown revitalization.
Writings abound on sense of place and participatory planning, but often
underestimate the challenges of linking them in practice. This study
explores methods of gauging downtown sense of place by gathering 'downtown
stories' and conducting semi-structured interviews in the post-industrial
city of Middletown Ohio, which a national magazine named as one of
'America's Fastest Dying Towns'. Through public forums it also begins
articulating 'downtown visions'-place perceptions and hopes for
revitalization-in the language of planning and design. While the study
suggests gauging such perceptions is essential for any meaningful
framework for community participation, doing so is fraught with
difficulties that urban designers must confront.

Title: Zoning For and Against Sprawl: The Case for Form-Based Codes
Abstract:
Despite widespread recognition of the dual problems of sprawl
and conventional zoning, the specific nature of the relationship between
sprawl and zoning is not well specified. In part this is because aggregate
and economic analyses of sprawl and zoning miss the larger point that
zoning has a significant detrimental impact on urban pattern and form at
the local scale. In addition, little systematic research has been done on
the contrast between conventional zoning and coding reform efforts such as
form-based codes. This paper uses a localized analysis of the relationship
between zoning and sprawl to answer two main questions: how does zoning
contribute to sprawl, and how do form-based codes attempt to mitigate it?
The paper also includes a descriptive analysis of the current status of
form-based code efforts in the US.

Title: Whatever Happened to "Urbanism"? A Comparison of Premodern, Modernist, and HOPE VI Morphology in Three American Cities
Abstract:
In the United States, urban form and design changed
tremendously during the twentieth century. From the early twentieth
century, a time when small-scale, highly diverse city blocks or what
Douglas Rae called "urbanism" predominated, urban redevelopment came to be
dominated by large-scale modernist superblocks, often promoted by federal
policy. In the last two decades of the century, some urban designers
argued for recapturing the physical qualities of the premodern city, while
others argued that large-scale, autonomous city areas were both inevitable
and ideal. This study undertakes a morphological investigation of three
"twice-cleared" urban sites in three American cities-Boston, Chicago, and
New Orleans-to measure the changes occurring in eight morphological
variables. The study examines three eras: 1910, when all three sites were
dominated by small-scale buildings and city blocks, or premodern
development; 1950, when all three sites had been redeveloped for
Modernism-inspired public housing; and 2010, when all three sites had
again been redeveloped under the federal, historicist-inspired HOPE VI
public housing improvement program. The study found that HOPE VI was able
to recover only some of the "urbanism" that Modernism eradicated in the
mid 20th century. The study concludes that urban design is influenced by
seemingly unalterable forces like technology and economy, but that
purposeful design ideals can also have substantial effects.

Title: That "Monster House" Is My Home: The Social and Cultural Politics of Design Reviews and Regulations
Abstract:
Globalization and immigration have changed American suburbs
both socially and spatially. In Fremont, California, a suburb of Silicon
Valley, neighbourhoods that were once primarily the domain of
single-family tract homes and white, middle- and upper-middle-class
residents have given way to high-income Asian immigrant families and
custom-built "McMansions". While most scholars advocate strict regulation
of these properties, this paper questions the seeming mechanistic
neutrality of the design reviews, guidelines, and development standards
used to regulate large-home development. In an analysis of Fremont's pro-
and anti-McMansion debates and McMansion policies, this paper argues that
design guidelines and development standards often employ dominant social
and cultural norms about "good" and "appropriate" design. Planning and
design professionals, public processes, and policies tended to privilege
established, white residents' values and meanings for their homes and
neighbourhoods, while marginalizing those of many middle- and
upper-middle-class Chinese immigrants. The paper shows how dominant social
and cultural norms regarding the proper use and design of suburban space
are often reinforced through planning, design, and public policy, and
shape the built environment as well as non-white residents' sense of place
and belonging in it, even for those of means.

Title: The Influence of Urban Morphology on the Resilience of Cities Following an Earthquake
Abstract:
This paper proposes a conceptual theory of resilience in
urbanism and demonstrates its application through a case study. The
theory's underpinnings are the attributes of resilience that have been
developed in ecological sciences, but have clear parallels in urbanism.
They suggest that it may be possible to enhance the resilience of a city
through the design of its urban morphology. The paper explores these ideas
by examining the relationship between the community's adaptive behaviour
and the spaces of the city of Concepción after its 2010 earthquake. This
empirical evidence suggests that the role of the urban designer in
earthquake-prone cities is perhaps more critical before an earthquake
happens and that the more the idea of a resilient urban morphology is
embedded as part of daily life, the more effective it is likely to be in
the aftermath of a major earthquake.

Title: Conserving Dirty Concrete: The Decline and Rise of Pasmore's Apollo Pavilion, Peterlee
Abstract:
The Apollo Pavilion, Peterlee, is a large sculpture built to
the designs of artist Victor Pasmore. Always controversial, the pavilion
has been under threat for much of its life. However, it is recently
restored and in December 2011 it was granted Grade II* listing. This might
be seen as a story of an artwork and monument rescued from ruin by an
artistic and cultural elite similar to the one which created it, as part
of a wider "authorized heritage discourse" that has sought to revalorize
avant-garde modernist structures despite public hostility. However, the
paper argues that the pavilion also needs to be understood in other ways.
First, the impetus for creating a positive future for the pavilion has
been generated locally. Second, there is a need to understand it in the
wider context of the landscape in which it sits; as the visual culmination
of an ambitious collaboration between artist and architect. Third, the
pavilion should be seen as a monument embodying progressive values, as
part of the post-war settlement that strove to create better living
environments for all. Fourth, it is argued, it is an object that will
continue to provoke, rather than becoming part of a warm, comforting
blanket of heritage.

Title: Trips to Strips: Walking and Site Design in Suburban Multifamily Housing
Abstract:
With over nine million units in the country, suburban
multifamily housing is a widespread and overlooked example of density
located within walking distance of commercial development in suburbia.
This paper reports on resident demographics, attitudes, and perceptions as
they relate to mode choice in 14 suburban multifamily sites in Eugene,
Oregon. Through site analysis and resident surveys, this study shows that
residents of well-connected suburban multifamily housing developments walk
or bike for nearly half of their trips to the local commercial area (LCA).
In addition, residents of well-connected multifamily developments reported
walking to their LCA 60% more (one more trip per week) than residents of
less-connected developments who took a similar number of total trips.
Quantifying the degree to which site design, and specifically
connectivity, makes a difference in residents' mode choice is a first step
towards increasing the amount of active transportation in these areas. The
results of this research provide planners and designers a basis for
re-evaluating suburban multifamily site design and zoning codes.

Title: Up in the Air: Urban Design for Light Rail Transit Stations in Highway Medians
Abstract:
Good urban design is essential if transit stations are to
successfully connect to the communities that surround them. Increasingly,
transit agencies in the US are constructing light rail systems in and
above freeway medians to reduce land acquisition costs, minimize traffic
conflicts and increase train speeds. Elevated stations, however, are
difficult to physically link to surrounding communities, resulting in lost
opportunities for transit-oriented development (TOD). This study examines
all 14 elevated and freeway-median light rail stations along the Green and
Gold lines in Los Angeles and documents the challenges of integrating them
to the surrounding urban fabric. It suggests remedies based on a review of
good urban design practices and interventions for different contexts that
have been successful in improving station access. The study tests some of
these interventions using as case studies four elevated Green Line
stations.

Title: The Neighbourhood Unit Concept and the Shaping of Land Planning in the United States 1912-1968
Abstract:
Although one of the more well-known concepts in planning,
both planning scholars and professional communities such as the New
Urbanism have neglected the neighbourhood unit concept's historic
influence in shaping suburban land planning norms. This paper analyzes
contemporaneous professional and governmental literature in order to
understand the context of land planning and development during the time
that the neighbourhood unit became a leading idea. Between 1912 and 1968
the neighbourhood unit concept bridged planning, design, development and
policy-making communities to improve standards in the construction of
residential environments by shifting the scale of development to an area
as a whole. In this time period the neighbourhood unit concept shaped land
planning norms, facilitated execution of policies, framed new
institutions, and became associated with the changes that it helped to
bring about.

Title: The Influence of Urban Form and Family Decision Making on Children's Travel to School
Abstract:
Since Western lifestyles can foster obesity and other
problems, attention is turning to active travel (AT) as a means of
increasing physical activity for both adults and children. Children's
routines regularly focus on trips to and from school which can admit
walking and other AT. Yet promoting such an approach encounters a problem
around the relative influence on AT of urban form and family decision
making. To address it, this study applies the recently-constructed Model
of Children's Active Travel (M-CAT). Via its formulations, two field sites
in Queensland, Australia, were selected based on objective physical
characteristics, determined as supportive and not supportive of children's
AT. Parents of 206 children aged 9 to 12 years were surveyed. While 43%
reported that their children used AT, a significant difference was
observed among children dwelling in areas identified as having high as
opposed to low support. Behind this clear result, objective attributes of
the physical environment, parents' perceptions and evaluations of urban
form and child and family characteristics link in intricate ways to
determine children's level of engagement. The inquiry argues for an
interdisciplinary approach involving urban designers, planners and health
care professionals to address a complex physical and social interaction.

Title: Place-Temporality and Urban Place-Rhythms in Urban Analysis and Design: An Aesthetic Akin to Music
Abstract:
Places are temporal milieus, and the tempo of a place is
inherently rhythmical. In an urban place, the patterns of people's
movements, encounters, and rest, recurrently negotiating with natural
cycles and architectural patterns, merge into expressive bundles of
rhythms which give a place its temporal distinctiveness. This paper
investigates the aesthetics of place-temporality, focusing on its
expression and representation; it explores its principal attributes,
experience, and significance. And, building on an analogy with musical
aesthetics, the paper brings forward a conceptual framework for the
understanding and analysis of temporality in urban space, with a focus on
place-rhythms and the triad of place-temporal performance, place-tonality,
and sense of time. These are the principal aesthetic processes through
which place-temporality expresses and represents itself in urban space.

Title: Social Processes in the Production of Public Spaces: Structuring Forces and Actors in the Renewal of a Deprived Neighbourhood in Barcelona
Abstract:
Within urban design there is increasing interest in the close
relationship between social, economic and political processes and the
production of public spaces. This relationship, however, often remains
abstract and is rarely illustrated in empirical studies. This paper
introduces an institutionalist understanding to the production of public
spaces, whereby emphasis is placed on the analysis of structuring forces
and actors as a way to apprehend the complexity of the social processes
guiding and influencing the planning, design and management of public
spaces. The institutionalist understanding is illustrated in the case
study of an urban renewal project in Barcelona. The results of the case
study show the contrasts and tensions between the structuring forces and
the different actors operating in the project, how structuring forces
favoured the interest and claims of some actors over those of others, and
the potential risks and challenges that this has for the use and value of
the public spaces produced by the project.

Title: Challenging the 'End of Public Space': A Comparative Analysis of Publicness in British and Dutch Urban Spaces
Abstract:
The increasing involvement of the private sector in the
design and management of urban public space has prompted some critical
scholars to predict the 'end of public space'. This study reassesses the
implications of private sector involvement through a comparative analysis
of British and Dutch urban spaces, based on a threefold critique of the
existing literature on the privatization of public space. The analysis is
governed by a new model of pseudo-public space that consists of four
dimensions of 'publicness': ownership, management, accessibility and
inclusiveness (OMAI). The findings suggest that, while there are
significant differences between the British and the Dutch cases, neither
context supports the notion of a possible 'end of public space' in any
literal sense.

Title: Smart Parcelization and Place Diversity: Reconciling Real Estate and Urban Design Priorities
Abstract:
This paper examines the meaning and significance of place
diversity and explores how its achievement may well depend on specific
institutional relations between different actors in the real estate
development process. It calls for master developers to engage in the
'smart parcelization' of large development sites through design-sensitive
subdivision, reflected in conditions attached to plot sales or leases. By
looking at practical examples, it explores how this concept could
refashion speculative housebuilding in the UK. The paper highlights the
potential and limitations of 'smart parcelization', while emphasizing the
need to link development and design considerations in future policy and
research agendas.

Title: Recreation and Amenity Values of Urban Stream Corridors: Implications for Green Infrastructure
Abstract:
'Green infrastructure' is a term used to describe systems of
parks, greenways, open spaces and other natural landscape elements that
provide community benefits. Although we have some understanding of how
people use parks and developed greenways, little has been documented about
use of the undesignated public and private spaces along green
infrastructure features such as stream corridors. The purpose of this
research was to examine characteristics that may influence people's use of
undesignated open spaces along the stream corridors that form the skeleton
of many green infrastructure systems. Data were obtained from a
Recreational Use Attainability Analysis (RUAA), an evaluation performed
for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The RUAA was conducted
for 85 survey sites along 243 km (151 miles) of streams in Houston's
Buffalo Bayou watershed. Results indicate that the proximity of stream
corridors to local residents, the level of pedestrian access available and
tree cover were the best predictors of recreational use while the presence
of water, fish or other wildlife were not significant predictors.
Observations also indicated that urban and suburban stream corridors
afford a variety of recreational and aesthetic values to residents.
Implications for policy, planning and design of green infrastructure are
discussed.

Title: Affordances, Young People, Parks and Alcohol Consumption
Abstract:
This paper is drawn from a larger research project exploring
young people, leisure activities and alcohol consumption. The study draws
on the concept of affordances from environmental psychology as a way of
framing the debate of what young people need in neighbourhood parks. Parks
are important to this age group since they provide a setting for physical
activity, relaxation and social interaction. However, human development at
this life stage also includes indulging in experimental and/or deviant
behaviour. In the eyes of the young people involved, however, their
behaviour is mostly benign, even if/when it causes conflict with other
users. Furthermore, they often take particular measures to avoid other age
groups (defined in environmental psychology as 'retreat') and while often
voluntary, it may also be enforced. The research suggests that while the
park is the most important place for this age group to socialise outside
the home, young people themselves often feel poorly provided for and
unwelcome. The fact that they adopt what they find in parks to suit their
needs is motivated by interconnecting aspirations, perceptions and needs.
Developing a more sophisticated understanding of these issues may lead to
more appropriate and satisfactory design for all users.

Title: Urban Design Plans for Downtown San Francisco: A Paradigm Shift?
Abstract:
This paper aims to provide a holistic understanding of the
urban design plans for downtown San Francisco, in particular, of their
pioneering roles in urban design history. There is a critical discourse
analysis of two urban design plans - the Urban Design Plan 1972 and the
Downtown Plan 1985. A Kuhnian framework of 'paradigm' is applied to
evaluating the innovative practices of the plans. It is argued that the
innovations, reflected in the urban design plans for downtown San
Francisco, represent a paradigm shift in urban design history.

Title: Whose Waste Is It Anyway?
Abstract:
This paper argues that the ideas of self, waste and space are
interconnected and that they influence each other in a society's everyday
life. It addresses the issues of belonging and identity to explain how the
connection among self, waste and space could determine waste disposal
practice. A study in a low-income urban neighbourhood in Jakarta,
Indonesia, illustrates how the waste disposal practice in everyday life
could be understood in terms of how they are connected to the actors and
to the space. The connection among self, waste and space is illustrated
through various waste disposal practices in spaces with various degrees of
ownership. Waste disposal practices in shared spaces are particularly
problematic since these practices occur in the spaces with unclear
ownership and unclear boundaries. The findings suggest the need to take
into account the understanding of ownership towards waste ('whose waste?')
as a key aspect in comprehending waste disposal practice in the urban
context.

Title: Favela Upgrade in Brazil: A Reverse of Participatory Processes
Abstract:
This paper looks at three different Brazilian cities: Rio de
Janeiro, São Paulo and Belo Horizonte to understand the different
models of favela upgrade, the opportunities and the challenges that each
model entails. The recent 'left-turn' on Latin American politics created
several opportunities for architects to help improve the informal sector
that comprises a significant portion of every major city in the continent.
In Brazil, the Lula government invested billions in the infrastructure
upgrade of the infamous favelas. This paper will argue that the two
traditional contractual models, the construction bidding (by metrics and
values) and the commission by 'reputation' (opaque political process of
choice), are not sufficient. A third model based on popular participation
was tested in the early 2000s but it was gradually marginalized as the
country speeded up investment in preparation for the FIFA World Cup in
2014 and the Summer Olympics in 2016.

Title: Small Changes - Big Gains: Transforming the Public and Communal Open Spaces in Rundown Neighbourhoods
Abstract:
Rundown neighbourhoods and social housing estates may not be
visible to the majority of the population but they have an impact on
society as a whole and not just those who live in them. This paper
explains the concepts, processes and methods applied in the
transformational change of public and communal open spaces in EC1, south
Islington in London, and highlights the benefits of the change to their
everyday users. The paper brings together a body of urban design theories
and urban design collaborative approaches on open space transformational
change.

Title: The Central-Mid-levels Escalator as Urban Regenerator in Hong Kong
Abstract:
This paper examines the form and activity transformations in
a built-up urban area, following the development of a pedestrian facility.
The particular implementation of the Central to Mid-levels Escalator
(1993) facilitated the re-use of street- and upper-floor space, while also
attracting real estate investments. The low-impact insertion of the
pedestrian facilities supported a distinctive spatial setting on a steep
slope, where new leisure and entertainment venues clustered, assuming
their own local and collective identities. A close connection between the
facility and the streets supported development beneath and on adjacent
streets where there had been few shops and restaurants. Recent
developments exploit the resulting unique spatial relationships between
Escalator and environment to augment the space available for circulation
or public gathering, connecting the new space directly to the movement
system. This case provides a working example of how to implement a
facility for pedestrian movement to generate a transformation in the built
form and in the activity structure of a substantial urban area. The
lessons of the Escalator project could assist in the design of other
facilities for pedestrian movement in built-up urban areas.

Title: The Place-shaping Continuum: A Theory of Urban Design Process
Abstract:
Drawing on empirical research in London, this paper examines how public
spaces in the contemporary city are shaped. Together, the 'contexts',
'processes' and 'power relationships' that are revealed represent an
integrated framework in the form of a journey through time during which
contemporary public space-exemplified in this paper through the case of
public space in London-is moulded. Extrapolating to the larger field of
urban design, the discussion advances a theory of the urban design process
as a place-shaping continuum. This urban design (or place-shaping)
process, in all its complexity and variety, has the potential to anchor
the field of urban design, offering a core for intellectual enquiry and
policy/practice innovation. To situate this, the paper begins with a brief
examination of urban design as a subject for investigation.

Title: Evaluating Public Space
Abstract:
Public space plays an important role in sustaining the public realm. There
is a renewed interest in public space with a growing belief that while
modern societies no longer depend on the town square or the piazza for
basic needs, good public space is required for the social and
psychological health of modern communities. New public spaces are emerging
around the world and old public space typologies are being retrofitted to
contemporary needs. Good public space is responsive, democratic and
meaningful. However, few comprehensive instruments exist to measure the
quality of public space. Based on an extensive review of literature and
empirical work, this paper creates a public space index
to assess the quality of public space by empirically evaluating its
inclusiveness, meaningfulness, safety, comfort and pleasurability. Four
public spaces in downtown Tampa, Florida, are examined using the index and
several applications for public space planners, designers and managers are
suggested.

Title: Citizen Participation, Design Competition and the Product in Urban Design: Insights from the Orange County Great Park
Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to determine the contribution of citizen
participation and urban design competitions to the quality and outcomes of
urban design projects. Urban design projects sometimes involve citizen
participation and a design competition before a proposal is accepted for
implementation. Although there is considerable literature on citizen
participation and on design competitions, there is scant empirical
research on the implications of the process for the product. A case study
approach was used, in which the author evaluated data collected from a
multi-phase citizen participation process and an international design
competition for the design of the Great Park in Irvine, California. The
design elements proposed by citizens during the citizen participation
process and those proposed by the professionals in their competition
entries were analyzed for their contribution to the quality of design of
the project. The research reveals that, while these processes consume
considerable financial and non-financial resources, the citizen
participation by itself contributes commonplace ideas and
is inadequate for achieving excellence in urban design projects. The paper
concludes with recommendations to make the process more effective to
achieve optimal results for the product.

Title: The 'My Mission Viejo' Project. Investigating the Potential of Photovoice Methods in Place Identity and Attachment Research
Abstract:
In 2008, the City of Mission Viejo enlisted residents to photograph places
and events that best illustrated the city's place identity. Inspired by
the notion that pictures act as simulacra of reality, the
research team content-analyzed them for evidence of the city's place
identity: its social imageability, its emotional values, its imageability
and satisfaction. The bond between residents and their neighborhood places
is key to the creation of stronger, more democratic and sustainable
communities, and decisions made during their planning stage become
critical in shaping the future of a community. 'My Mission Viejo'
illustrates how planning and design affected the community's place
identity, people's attachment and its livelihood. The project offers a
methodological precedent for future research aimed at creating more
sustainable and imageable communities.

Title: Design for Healthy Communities: The Potential of Form-Based Codes to Create Walkable Urban Streets
Abstract:
Form-Based codes are promoted, although not proven, as a means to create
walkable streets because they regulate built features on the street. In
this study an audit survey developed to measure the physical features of
streets related to walkability was used to evaluate streets built from
Form-Based codes. The survey considered the urban design qualities of
imageability, complexity human scale, transparency, and enclosure. The
street survey and an analysis of Form-Based codes revealed features
regulated by codes created streets similar to historic walkable streets.
Results also showed codes have the potential to create walkable streets if
they regulate a high number of features, control the frequency of features
and regulate features primarily linked to the urban design qualities of
imageability, complexity, and human scale.

Title: Design Quality Preferences for Walking in Youth in a Rural Setting
Abstract:
Studies demonstrate a relationship between built environment features and
walking among youth. However, most research has focused on measuring
objective features of the built environment, and fewer studies have looked
at the more subjective features such as design quality that may influence
how youth experience walking. Furthermore, many instruments that measure
design quality are based on expert approaches; few incorporate user-based
(youth) feedback. In this pilot study, the authors used focus group
methods with a youth panel (2 groups with 16 total participants) to
investigate user-based opinion of design quality variables of the built
environment that impact the walking behaviour of youth. Findings indicate
that youth preference for design features is linked to walking motivation
and preferred walking context.

Title: Urban Form and Memory Discourses: Spatial Practices in Contested Cities
Abstract:
Cities are central to ethno-national conflicts, where tailored myths and
memories are used to lay claim to the rightful ownership of certain sites.
In this context, spatial practices that harness memory become a critical
part of a purposive reconstruction of the past, and memory discourses
become a major constitutive facet of contested cities. This paper explores
the relationship between current memory discourses and urban design and
spatial practices in contested and divided cities, examining building
projects and planning practices. The execution of official policies of
erasure is also explored through the destruction of buildings and the
continuing effect of transmitted memories on individuals' use of the city.
This paper aims to illustrate how several aspects of memory, which are of
increased significance in conflict situations, affect the city as spaces
are designed to project certain meanings, to reflect mythologies related
to official historical narratives, and to embed certain images into the
fabric of the city and into the imaginations of its residents.

Title: Streets as Public Spaces in Southeast Asia: Case Studies of Thai Pedestrian Streets
Abstract:
This paper explores the pedestrian streets in Thailand and the idea of the
street as public space in Southeast Asia. Based on pilot studies in 15
pedestrian streets and detailed fieldwork in four case studies in
Thailand, this paper reveals an informal manner of street use for
socio-economic functions and the multivariate roles of the street in
Southeast Asian cities. Providing a comparative worldview about the street
as public space, this paper expands the scope of public space studies and
contributes to the understanding of street markets and street use as
public space in Southeast Asia, a topic that is rarely discussed in the
world's urban design agenda.

Title: Ethnicity, Culture and Park Design: Case Studies of Urban Parks in American Chinatowns
Abstract:
This paper examines the role of ethnicity and culture in the making of
urban parks. It focuses on neighbourhood parks in three Chinatowns to
explore how park design that addresses the social and cultural needs of
the user groups affects park uses. The study employs a combination of
field observation, personal interviews, and archival research to examine
how the park is used by the ethnic community, uses which adapt or subvert
the dominant forms of public space and public life. While the case studies
reveal the unique cultural practices of the Chinese as an ethnic group,
the analysis also provides general insight into the association between
park design and the level of integration of park space into the everyday
life of ethnic minorities.

Title: Drawing and Thinking: Representing Place in the Practice of Place-making
Abstract:
Socio-semiotic theory is suggested as a basis for exploring, empirically,
how drawings and models are used in place-based design work. This is done
to encourage more self-awareness amongst designers in how they produce
images as well as reflection on how they might be interpreted in different
settings. This builds from existing thinking on visual methodologies and
multi-modality in social science and cultural studies research, and
applies it to the design setting. The links between modes of
representation and the reflective nature of professional practice are
emphasized. There is a discussion about how the process of professional
problem definition can direct the production of images, and how this
process might be moderated by relationships established by people
participating in the particular development process or planning systems. A
framework for thinking about the production of images in place-making
settings is introduced and explained.

Title: Built Narratives
Abstract:
Recognizing how stories connect us with the built environment is a
critical component in understanding how our socio-cultural identities are
contextualized. In this paper, narrative is proposed as a conceptual link
between wide-ranging typologies of contemporary urban design and planning
literature. The link between communities and their built environment is
elaborated. A way forward in place-making efforts is proposed in which the
narrative content of our cities is given particular attention.

Title: Designerly Ways of Not Knowing: What Designers Can Learn about Space from People Who are Blind
Abstract:
This paper sets out to demonstrate that architects' and other designers'
visual ways of knowing may come with a considerable risk. They risk
favouring visual qualities over non-visual qualities, but also cognition
over embodiment in how space is understood and conceived. Their designerly
ways of knowing thus may as well be viewed as designerly ways of
not knowing-of disregarding the bodily experience of the
built environment. This disregard becomes especially clear when
considering the spatial experience of persons who are blind, as they are
able to appreciate sounds, smells or haptic qualities designers may not be
attuned to. Although the paper focuses on design in architecture, it
points out that the underlying rationale may be relevant for other design
domains as well, including urban design.

Title: Kit/set/tlements: Camps and Hydrotowns in New Zealand 1840-1985
Abstract:
This paper will investigate the settlements associated with hydroelectric
power projects in New Zealand between 1925, and 1985. A review of public
works settlements will be undertaken to understand the progressive
development of these communities, with respect to their urban planning,
transportability, sequencing and redeployment on new sites. The paper will
also identify the evolution of domestic dwellings from the work camp tent
to the project village state house. The case will be made that hydrotowns
are 'kit-sets' of re-locatable dwelling types and repeating settlement
patterns encompassing selective and changing aspects of the camp and the
suburb.

Title: The Boston Greenway: Form and Process Issues at Stake
Abstract:
The Boston Greenway is an imposing urban regeneration programme in the
centre of Boston, which is now free from the heavy road infrastucture of
the early 1960s, and is considered against the backdrop of the planning
system in the US. The paper focuses on the regulatory framework set forth
by the Boston Zoning Code and the Greenway Guidelines in order to manage
the process at its different stages, stressing relevant issues related to
policy making and community involvement throughout. Despite general
regulations and specific morphological rules, form and density issues
prove unstable under market pressure, which is ultimately the engine
shaping the Greenway. Discretion and transparency inflect the strategic
approach in an original way in comparison to the European case.

Title: Measuring Walkability: A Note on Auditing Methods
Abstract:
This study contributes to the literature on walkability measurement by
proposing a hybrid auditing method that combines the efficiency of a
GIS-based approach with the pedestrian perspective possible with Google
Street View. The paper first reviews the various in-person and secondary
source auditing methods that have been developed over the past decade. It
then tests the feasibility of a GIS/Google Street View hybrid method
against an in-person auditing method. The approach here is based on the
Irvine-Minnesota Inventory (IMI), selecting 94 objectively measured items
that were available and accessible using a combination of GIS and Google
Street View. The goal was to test the degree to which some of the measures
employed in IMI could be streamlined using GIS and Google Street View as
data sources. It is concluded that the combination of information from
Google Street View and updated GIS layers can be an effective way of
obtaining physical environment data that is very comparable to in-person
observation.

Title: Beyond Design and Participation: The 'Thought for Food' Project in Flanders, Belgium
Abstract:
The goal of this paper is to contribute to the development of methods of
social innovation in participatory urban design. Based on the 'Synoikos
scenario Workshop', an adapted methodology was applied to and evaluated
within the (participatory action) research context of the European
'Thought for Food' (T4F) landscape enhancement project concerning the
agro-industrial area surrounding Roeselare in West-Flanders, Belgium.
Within this complex spatial and social context, design-based scenarios
served as a tool for stimulating participants to discuss their discordant
views and to understand the consequences of their activities for others.

Title: The Fragmentation Bias in Valuing and Qualifying Open Space
Abstract:
As urbanization progresses, open space becomes structured as units of
progressively smaller sizes and with more pronounced physical and
functional boundaries. This paper analyzes these Open Space Units (OSUs)
in Flanders, and seeks how size of open space units, hence also spatial
fragmentation, affects the evaluation of these units. The results clearly
confirm a 'fragmentation bias', meaning a lower valuation of smaller
units, which leads to a strategic gap and land use uncertainty concerning
large stretches of area with high degree of fragmentation. This valuation
is confronted with the contrasting and positive values expressed in a
strategic open space project by local stakeholders about a typical
peri-urban remnant open space unit. Overcoming the 'fragmentation bias' in
open space valuation is a continuing challenge in planning and open space
policies, especially in highly urbanized environments.

Title: Unpacking and Challenging Habitus: An Approach to Temporary Urbanism as a Socially Engaged Practice
Abstract:
Temporary urbanism is attracting worldwide attention and has been praised
for its capacity to transform socio-political and physical spaces, while
at the same time it has been criticized for its tacit instrumentality as
vehicle for the progressive gentrification of the urban environment. A
closer look at temporary urbanism reveals a myriad of practices, initiated
by a great variety of actors with diverse ways of operating and taking
place in a wide range of environments. Rooted in assemblage theory, we
situate our design practice in the specificity of an underused space
surrounding social housing blocks in Gateshead, explore manifestations of
habitus and the capacity of temporary urbanism to reveal and engage with
socio-spatial struggles.

Title: The Median Picnic: Street Design, Urban Informality and Public Space Enforcement
Abstract:
Medians or central reservations have received scant attention in the vast
literature on the history, morphology and design of streets, and are
rarely considered as places where people can gather. They are mostly
conceived as safety barriers, traffic-calming elements or visual features
on multi-way streets. However, by focusing on a case study from Berkeley,
California, this paper demonstrates how medians transform into active,
informal gathering places despite the presence of prominent prohibitory
signage and apparent safety risks. The paper explains how the 'unlawful'
activity of sitting on the median, or 'picnicking' in this instance, is
selectively condoned by the City of Berkeley to suit its own liberal
image, and because of the commercial interests at stake, underscoring the
political dimension in the production of public space. The paper thus
engages a discussion of the concepts and practices related to street
design, urban informality and public space enforcement, for which the
'median picnic' stands as a striking example.

Title: A Theoretical Perspective on How Bicycle Commuters Might Experience Aesthetic Features of Urban Space
Abstract:
Limited attention has been paid to the value of the aesthetic dimension of
the urban environment in altering the character of commuting by bicycle.
The positive impact of aesthetics on cycling is primarily related to
emotional reactions of an individual. For cyclists, aesthetic experience
is a multisensory phenomenon influenced by various motivational factors.
The purpose of this paper is to lay out a conceptual framework for studies
of the aesthetic experience of commuting bicyclists. Three theoretical
approaches were considered for interpretation of information: (1)
phenomenology of sensory perception and experience; (2) urban design
theory; and (3) environmental aesthetics. Together the three theoretical
fields complement each other and explain different viewpoints on this
complex subject. Relating earlier studies on bicycling to these theories
may elucidate the ways in which bicycling affects how the senses work and
how perception of the environment can be interpreted in terms of aesthetic
meaning. In particular, speed affects this perception. The importance of
aesthetic features has a strong relation to expectations and attitude
towards the trip.

Title: Olympics and Urban Legacy in Sydney: Urban Transformations and Real Estate a Decade after the Games
Abstract:
The Olympic Games (OG) are an opportunity for cities to display themselves
on the world stage. Cities from developed and developing countries present
themselves to hold the Games, always with a double intention: to promote
itself in the global arena and use this opportunity to stimulate urban
changes. However, there are very few studies that analyze the urban legacy
of the OG for the host cities, probably because it takes years for an
urban legacy to become established, and when the time is right to analyze
this legacy other OG are on the agenda. The aim of this paper is to
analyze the urban legacy left by the 2000 OG in Sydney. Sydney has been
chosen for this analysis because, as there have been no other major
development projects for the Homebush Bay region since the 2000 OG, the
impact of the Games can be measured, specifically regarding physical
transformations, discussing what their real urban legacy is.

Title: Design by Competition and the Potential for Public Participation: Assessing an Urban Design Competition on Toronto's Waterfront
Abstract:
Design competitions are often used to select design teams for high profile
development projects, yet have received scant attention in the literature.
Seeking to redress this imbalance, this paper presents a competition model
that was employed on Toronto's waterfront in 2006 for a large public realm
project and describes how it was structured around an iterative public
consultation process. Although subject to a number of implementation
delays, the competition sponsors built a constituency of support for the
redevelopment project by engaging lay people in the decision-making
process. The paper argues that the competition struck a balance between
lay input and professional knowledge and contends that future research
efforts should continue to explore means by which public participation can
be integrated into design competitions.

Title: Charting a Changing Waterfront: A Review of Key Schemes for Perth's Foreshore
Abstract:
Twenty-one years have elapsed between an international design competition
held for the redesign of Perth's Swan River foreshore and the commencement
of construction of a small, but significant, section of the this river's
edge. This extended period of design proposition allows an opportunity to
reflect on trends in waterfront design in Perth, and shifting notions of
what Perth is, and could be, as expressed by the proposals. Trends
identified include a growing appreciation of urban values, increasing
aspirations to produce symbolic capital, increasing production of stylized
urban imagery and the corresponding dominance of the architectural
discipline. Perth's foreshore has been until recently a vast expanse of
typically unoccupied, turfed parkland. Analogous to a scaled-up suburban
'front yard', its role has been typically symbolic rather than functional.
As such, schemes for the redesign of this foreshore, and subsequent public
reactions, also tend to reveal aspects of Perth's collective identity.
While the 1991 competition-winning scheme recreated a naturalistic
landscape on the foreshore, later state government-endorsed schemes in
2008 and 2011 proposed the urbanization of the foreshore at significant
densities. These recent schemes reflect, and have forged, a growing desire
for urbanity in Perth.

Title: The Emergence of Suburban Terracing on Coastal Dunes: Case Studies along the Perth Northern Corridor, Western Australia, 1930-2010
Abstract:
In the rapidly expanding suburban periphery of Perth in Western Australia,
highly malleable coastal dunes are substituted with expansive artificial
topographies of level lots terraced with retaining walls. Although
efficient for facilitating current engineering, construction and real
estate standards, large-scale terracing significantly impacts ecological
systems and place-making processes. The article explicates the emergence
of terracing in Perth through analysis of topographic transformation in
suburban developments since the 1930s. Understanding the design,
engineering and cultural factors that drove increased topographic
manipulation over this timeframe provides an important foundation for
establishing more topographically sensitive urban design practices in
coastal settings.

Title: Four Imperatives for Preventing Demolition by Neglect
Abstract:
Population and land-use relocation in the United States contributes to the
generation of many functionless, unmaintained historic structures. Many
once-vital buildings have been removed, while others have simply been
abandoned and left to decay or 'demolished through neglect'. The National
Trust for Historic Preservation in 2008 suggests that more than 500
communities are experiencing significant numbers of teardowns, but there
is a lack of research on both the exact number of heritage structures that
have fallen into neglect and the provisions necessary to prevent neglect.
In response to growing concerns about the climbing rate of these
structures, this paper assesses both the rationale behind the neglect of
historic structures and current preventative techniques and policies. The
purpose is to distil the requirements necessary for prevention of
demolition by neglect into imperatives to guide future preservation
policy.

Title: Grid Plan New Towns in the Brazilian Coffee Frontier
Abstract:
The choice of the grid as a support for urban form composition is a
strategy that has been applied in many situations throughout the world.
Similarly, the meanings assigned to these orthogonal urban plans have
featured distinct and often conflicting positions. This article explores
the creative use of the grid in almost 100 new towns in the last Brazilian
coffee frontier in the early twentieth century, and also contributes to a
discussion about its potential in urban design. By assuming infinite
configurations, the grid plan is an example of human inventiveness
sometimes neglected for economic reasons and prejudices.

Title: Design Aspects of Urban Wetlands in an Earthquake-Prone Environment
Abstract:
Open-space networks in cities in disaster-prone environments can be
designed to facilitate recovery. This study explores residents'
perceptions of urban wetlands in earthquake-prone Concepción, Chile. Two
scenarios were posed, one representing everyday life and a second
representing life after an earthquake, in which wetlands were perceived in
terms of their utility. Multivariate data analysis revealed the residents'
cognitive structure underlying perception of the wetlands in each
scenario. The cognitive structures, comprising objective biophysical
attributes related to subjective utilitarian attributes, varied with
context. These findings can inform the design of open space in
disaster-prone cities to ensure their resilience.

Title: Ernst Plischke and the Design of Urban New Zealand, 1939-47
Abstract:
Viennese architect Ernst Plischke arrived in Wellington, New Zealand, in
1939 as a refugee from Nazi Europe. His long career began and ended in his
native Austria, but he spent 24 influential years in New Zealand, first in
government service and then in private practice. This paper will focus on
the first nine years of Plischke's time there when he worked for the
Department of Housing and Construction and was involved in the design of
multi-unit housing projects, community centres, state housing subdivisions
and hydrotowns. Using examples at a range of scales, this paper will
demonstrate how Plischke adapted his work in response to the opportunities
and constraints present in the alien urban environment he encountered in
his adopted country, and evaluate the appropriateness of the strategies he
devised in the formation of an urban place, where the dominant context was
the suburb and single-industry town.

Title: Fences and Profanations: Questioning the Sacredness of Urban Design
Abstract:
Adopting an impure and contingent conception of urban design as a
biopolitical apparatus, along the theme of urban informal
squatter-occupied spatialities, this paper searches for an alternative
narrative of urban design. It presents a theoretical and analytical
framework developed around Michel Foucault's and Giorgio Agamben's spatial
ontology and political aesthetics as an aggregate source toward
recalibrating the approach to urban design research, pedagogy and
practice, integrating the debate around the dispositif
and its profanation. Critically engaging with the complexity and
contradictions of the current neoliberal urban design
practice--articulated as a complex urban apparatus instrumental to regimes
of security and control--the paper explores the conceptual tool of
profanation as a potential antidote to the sacred production of the
neoliberal city. The act of profaning the urban realm, of 'returning it to
the free use of men', is approached through the lens of a design research
initiative in a squatter-occupied space in Rome, Italy. The narrative that
emerges from this theoretically inspired action research points to an
alternative practice that can be read as a site of resistance in
reclaiming the intellectual productivity of urban design theory and
research.

Title: Walking as a Planned Activity: Elevated Pedestrian Network and Urban Design Regulation in Hong Kong
Abstract:
This paper sets the elevated pedestrian systems of Hong Kong in the
context of planning regulation and land finance. Pedestrian networks have
enhanced the internal circulation of major catchment areas around activity
centres and transportation interchanges. They have become an
administratively and economically successful model in the absence of a
democratic urban design process. By tracking the evolving concept of the
grade-separated pedestrian networks in Hong Kong, the paper examines the
evolution and institutionalization of such a spatial system. It argues
that quantitative terms in urban design control cannot tackle environment
quality as a complicated human experience and cultural phenomenon. The
discussion further raises a concern about increasing public facilities
manipulated by private enterprises and the city government as an active
mediator in distributing spatial resources.

Title: Urban Design and Adapting to Flood Risk: The Role of Green Infrastructure
Abstract:
This Practice Paper identifies and critically examines three alternative
approaches and associated design philosophies in response to the problem
of urban flooding. It traces the reasons why these three approaches have
emerged and discusses the attributes of each. Following this, it examines
the potential of the green infrastructure approach as a means to realize
'evolutionary resilience' in designing urban environments for enhanced
drainage management. The paper then contrasts the three alternative
approaches to flood risk management and identifies some implications of
advancing the green infrastructure concept in urban design activities.

Title: Culture-led Regeneration in the Post-industrial Built Environment: Complements and Contradictions in Victory Square, Vancouver
Abstract:
A nuanced discourse on the mix of factors shaping the urban cultural
economy includes investigations of the saliency of the built environment,
and particularly the positionality of heritage buildings, in culture-led
urban regeneration programmes. To this enterprise, this paper contributes
an assessment of cultural regeneration in Victory Square, an historically
rich and socially-contested site at the intersection of Vancouver's
Downtown Eastside (DTES) and the Central Business District (CBD), with its
long history of marginalization and contemporary trajectory of social
upgrading, and the insistently revalorized inner city of new high-rise
residential communities. Both the conflictual past and dislocations of the
'active present' insert multiple narratives into the regeneration
storyline, underscoring the complexity of social relations played out
within the post-industrial landscapes of the city.

Title: Urban Design, Public Space and the Dynamics of Creative Milieux: A Photographic Approach to Bairro Alto (Lisbon), Gràcia (Barcelona) and Vila Madalena (São Paulo)
Abstract:
Drawing on some results of a broader research project, this paper aims to
discuss the relation between urban design and creative dynamics in
cultural districts. Appropriation and production of public spaces in three
'creative quarters' are analyzed, through a photographic approach,
covering material aspects, human appropriation and symbolic dimensions in
these areas. Discussing the boundaries of public spaces and their
relevance for creative activity (through the conviviality and sociability
they promote), it is argued that urban design characteristics and specific
place morphologies significantly influence the appropriation of these
areas and the development of specific creative dynamics.

Title: Creative Multiplicities: Urban Morphologies of Creative Clustering
Abstract:
While the geography of 'creative cities' is widely explored, the urban
morphology of creative clustering within cities is relatively ignored.
This paper excavates the morphological properties and capacities of
creative clustering through Australian case studies with a series of
mappings informed by assemblage theory. Such clusters are characterized by
synergies that emerge from a 'mix of mixes'-a mixed morphology linked to a
multiplicity of functions (production, exchange, reproduction, recreation)
and socio-economic mix. The 'buzz' or 'atmosphere' of a creative cluster
is the emergent effect produced through an intensive co-functioning of
people, practices, identities, spaces and built forms.

Title: Creative Milieux of Fashion and Reuse in Tokyo, Bangkok and Singapore
Abstract:
This paper explores bottom-up urban regeneration in Tokyo, Bangkok and
Singapore. It looks at the contribution of specific local creativities
which, in association with an increasingly popular practice of the reuse
of existing urban artefacts, provides a critical contribution to local
urban culture. These synergies between reuse and local creativities seem
to be capable of generating alternatives to the dominant development
trends. Those alternatives promote the local, the ordinary and the banal
to the benefit of urban quality. A specific focus of the paper is on
requalification of existing places by bottom-up fashion-related
activities.

Title: The Extended Workplace in a Creative Cluster: Exploring Space(s) of Digital Work in Silicon Roundabout
Abstract:
This paper examines the relationship between space and the digital
industries through everyday work practices in Shoreditch, London. Drawing
on interviews with digital workers, the paper examines how work unfolds in
multiple settings and how the built environment supports these work
patterns. Digital work extends from the office or the residence (the base)
to multiple settings (ancillary spaces) in what can be defined as an
extended workplace. The study identifies micro and macro scale
characteristics of the built environment that are relevant (spatial
characteristics of semi-public and public spaces, access and control,
location, and attributes of the neighbourhood) expanding the understanding
of why and how place matters for these industries. A typology of ancillary
spaces and some reflections on policy implications are advanced.

Title: Analyzing the Quality of Place: Creative Clusters in Soho and Beyoğlu
Abstract:
This paper analyzes the spatial characteristics of some parts of cities
where the creative types (i.e. companies and people) involved in creative
production are densely located. It aims to identify those socio-spatial
factors that attract and retain creatives. In particular, it focuses on
the film industry-based inner-city creative clusters, i.e. Soho in London
and Beyoğlu in İstanbul. This exploratory, cross-national,
multiple case study applies the qualitative research techniques of
interviews, observations, cognitive and cluster mapping. The paper
concludes with the Analysis Framework for the Quality of Place which
reveals the integrity of physical, socio-cultural, perceptual and visual
characteristics of place. In particular, it discusses the key performance
criteria and the scale of place which provides an inspiring and productive
environment such as walkability, spatial proximity, and the public realm.

Title: Towards an Integrated Urban Space Framework for Emerging Urban Conditions in a High-density Context
Abstract:
In the dense and hybrid urban conditions emerging globally, urban space is
seen not only as a precious and contested commodity, but also as one of
the key vehicles for achieving socially, environmentally and economically
sustainable urban living. Therefore, the conventional ways of designing,
utilizing and managing public spaces need to be revisited and
re-conceptualized, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Drawing from
contemporary theories and concepts addressing the quality of public
spaces, this paper outlines the discourse analysis used to develop an
integrated Urban Space Framework to systematically classify, assess,
analyze and guide the design of urban spaces in high-density contexts.

Title: Intensity without Density
Abstract:
Urban density has often been considered one of the main conditions for the
emergence of urban intensity, here understood as the potential for endless
random and unpredictable interactions between heterogeneous individuals
and activities. However, within the expanded territory of the contemporary
metropolis, the rise of mobility and communication technology has brought
about new possibilities for informal interaction and exchange beyond the
traditional relationship of proximity. By combining a multi-scale approach
with an understanding of everyday rhythms, the present paper explores: (1)
how this unprecedented space-time condition enables the emergence of
intensity across low density areas; and (2) the spatial conditions
involved in this potential. Empirical research undertaken in a low density
Italian area, situated 50 km South of Milan, provides material for
illustrating the argument.

Title: Water Infrastructure and Community Building: The Case of Marvin Gaye Park
Abstract:
The contemporary redefinition of infrastructure as landscape proposes to
address functional issues together with ecological, aesthetic and social
concerns. Despite its claim to provide an integrative model, this
discourse emphasizes ecological over social benefit. It is argued here
that the underlying principles of this model-decentralization,
site-specificity and multifunctionality-also have significant
socio-cultural implications that relate to building community and
enhancing place attachment. This paper will assess the social impact of
the landscape infrastructure model by examining the relationship of water
infrastructure to the social and cultural dynamics of urban communities
through the case of Marvin Gaye Park, a stream valley park in Washington,
DC.

Title: Walk or Drive between Stores? Designing Neighbourhood Shopping Districts for Pedestrian Activity
Abstract:
What design features are associated with people choosing to walk vs. drive
between activities within shopping districts? This exploratory study used
mixed-logit discrete choice modelling to analyze survey responses from 286
retail pharmacy store customers who travelled by personal automobile to
one of 20 San Francisco Bay Area shopping districts, and then visited at
least two activity locations within the district. The 91 customers who
walked rather than drove within the shopping district tended to travel
shorter distances and have several other common personal characteristics.
After controlling for these factors, respondents were significantly more
likely to walk when the main commercial roadway had fewer driveway
crossings and a lower speed limit.

Title: Mixing Public and Private Uses in the Same Building: Opportunities and Barriers
Abstract:
This paper examines the opportunities and barriers to developing buildings
that mix large-scale public, private and non-profit land uses within the
same facility. Drawing on three case study projects from the City of
Toronto, the paper shows how joint development buildings provide an
opportunity to raise new money to deliver critical public use social
infrastructure, are designed specifically to avoid conflicts between the
partners, and involve partnerships structured to transfer construction and
permitting risks between the partners. Despite the opportunities, the key
barrier to the more widespread application of large-scale mixed-use
buildings are the complex and lengthy planning and construction period for
such projects, as well as the challenge finding ideal sites and partners
with shared interests.

Title: The Detriments and Benefits of the Fall of Planning: The Evolution of Public Space in a Balkan Post-socialist Capital
Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to trace the evolution of the concept and
role of public spaces in the capital of Albania, Tirana, since the fall of
communism almost a quarter of a century ago. During this time, public
spaces have undergone a complete transformation, which is examined through
a theoretical framework based on under- and over-management critiques of
public space. Processes of public space under- and over-management are
ongoing in Tirana, with neglect, car invasion and space privatization
being the most problematic issues. However, the authors argue that both
under-management and over-management have had benefits as well as harm, in
terms of urban diversity (economic and visual) and security.

Title: Memories Come to the Surface: Pavement Memorials in Urban Public Spaces
Abstract:
Memorials installed within public pavements are a recent, distinctive
genre in terms of their forms, subjects, audiences and custodianship.
Through international examples, this paper examines their varied materials
and designs, and their differing placement in relation to the pavement
surface, the location of the events commemorated and the wider cityscape.
It analyzes the particular visual and tactile encounters they frame for
the passing public. These commemorative installations sit in tension with
the complex ownership, regulation, use and maintenance of the public
right-of-way. They also engage with specific physical and representational
opportunities that the public pavement presents for commemoration.

Title: Finding Common Ground Between New Urbanism and Landscape Urbanism
Abstract:
The urban design movements of New Urbanism and Landscape Urbanism are
widely regarded as fundamentally opposed, but this paper argues that while
their differences are indeed substantial, they possess key similarities
that are overlooked. Both movements focus primarily on the context of
suburban sprawl, which they regard as the crucial challenge for
contemporary urban design. Furthermore, they share an interest in the role
of regulations, codes and infrastructures in shaping urbanism, and view
such factors as design tools to be actively used. The potential exists for
fruitful collaboration and synthesis between the two sides, if they are
able to perceive this common ground.

Title: Future Directions in Urban Design as Public Policy: Reassessing Best Practice Principles for Design Review and Development Management
Abstract:
This paper reassesses John Punter's 'Best Practice Principles for Design
Review and Development Management' that were published in this journal in
2007. Placing a focused lens on British and North American practice, the
paper argues that design control and review has been profoundly reshaped
since 2007 by three contributing factors: the challenges associated with
climate change, the growing role that communities can play in local
decision making, and the impacts of the global economic crisis upon public
sector finances and property development. In light of these trends, the
paper uses a review of recent literature and design practices to argue for
a series of amendments to the best practice principles. These focus on:
(1) the potential for design control and review to be more fully informed
by ecological design theory and practice; (2) the need for more rigorous
multi-stakeholder collaboration in the design decision-making process; and
(3) the opportunity for urban designers to become more competent 'market
actors' with the necessary abilities to confidently shape property
development decisions.

Title: Green Place-making in Practice: From Temporary Spaces to Permanent Places
Abstract:
Current spatial planning and sustainability approaches attempt to create
competitive, lively and sustainable cities. This paper argues that
place-making approaches and green-planning approaches can assist in this
regard as these approaches focus on creating qualitative, socially viable
and environmentally friendly spaces. These approaches furthermore assist
in transforming temporary spaces to permanent places by introducing
green-initiatives as captured from pilot studies included in this paper,
namely city-trees, green roofs, green graffiti, green walking routes and
green impulses. The objective as captured in this paper is to transform
public space and reclaim public space for public use, by means of
green-planning initiatives.

Title: Graphic Objects and their Contribution to the Image of the City
Abstract:
This paper explores the relationship between graphic objects and urban
environments by adopting a critical stance towards the notion of image in
the image of the city. It challenges the emphasis on image as a
multi-sensory mental construct by revealing it to have different meanings
in diverse disciplinary contexts. In exposing how a miscellaneous range of
objects cited in the literature lacks cohesion and sense of function, the
urban graphic object is introduced and illustrated as a
pervasive epistemic phenomenon. Understanding urban graphic objects
expands established ideas about legibility and how urban objects have
intended and unintended graphic properties. Through considering the
function of graphic communication within the function of cities and urban
places, the paper introduces a framework for considering graphic design as
urban design and graphic objects as urban objects.

Title: Do Better Urban Design Qualities Lead to More Walking in Salt Lake City, Utah?
Abstract:
Urban designers recognize the importance of perceptual qualities to an
active street life but have had little empirical evidence to support the
claim. Recent research has developed measurement protocols for urban
design qualities related to walkability. A subsequent study conducted in
New York City confirmed the explanatory powers of the measures. However,
New York City is exceptionally walkable. This study seeks to validate
urban design qualities in terms of walkability in Salt Lake City, Utah.
This research validates specific micro-urban design measures of
walkability while controlling for spatial autocorrelation, finding that
imageability, in addition to transparency, adds significantly to
walkability.

Title: Kids in the City: Children's Use and Experiences of Urban Neighbourhoods in Auckland, New Zealand
Abstract:
Cities are largely designed for adults and cars, not children. Auckland
City's new 'children first' approach signals a shift in policy focus to
consider the needs of children. The authors' 'Kids in the City' research
is helping inform this approach by providing policy-relevant information
about children's use and experiences of nine Auckland neighbourhoods,
suburban and inner-city, using trip diaries, child-led walk-along
interviews and discussion groups. The children were neighbourhood key
informants and co-producers of knowledge who reported on their
environments, discussed what they liked and disliked, their safety
concerns and their limited mobility, and made suggestions for more
'child-friendly' neighbourhoods.

Title: The Safe and Fun Children's Play Spaces: Evidence from Tokyo, Japan, and Bandung, Indonesia
Abstract:
This paper presents findings from a research project aimed at
understanding children's perceptions of play spaces, with an emphasis on
safety and fun. Six places that were considered by the respondents of the
first-stage research as having both attributes of safety and fun were
observed. The findings show that these spaces are generally separated from
motor vehicles and the child and adult users of these spaces show socially
acceptable behaviours and a positive response toward children's outdoor
play. Nevertheless, the findings also point out the significant
differences in the characteristics of the safe and fun play spaces in
Tokyo, Japan, and Bandung, Indonesia, in terms of their user behaviour,
space availability, play affordances and availability of natural elements.

Title: What Makes a Good City in Pre-schoolers' Eyes? Findings from Participatory Planning Projects in Australia and New Zealand
Abstract:
Pre-schooler's voices are absent in urban planning and design. With the
possible exception of playgrounds, there is limited knowledge about their
experiences in and expectations for urban environments. This paper
discusses pre-schoolers' aspirations and desires for aesthetic and
accessible green spaces as well as social and physical connectedness.
Although this age range has so far been limited in its ability to inform
policy and decision-makers, it is argued that pre-schoolers have the
capacity and capability of making valuable contributions to design. In the
eyes of pre-schoolers, creating a good city means to live in a safe place
full of diverse destinations in which they can become streetwise and
socialize as part of society.

Title: Making Children Matter in Slum Transformations: Lessons from India's National Urban Renewal Mission
Abstract:
This paper looks at two successful slum redevelopment projects under
India's flagship urban renewal mission, which mandate citizen
participation and inclusive planning to create planned equitable cities.
It examines how children's concerns are addressed and children's
well-being is affected in the best of projects. The two case studies
represent different design and planning approaches to
in-situ redevelopment: (1) replacing the slum with flats;
and (2) selective infill houses. The paper, in discussing the planning and
design process adopted by the two projects, seeks to answer the question:
what can urban design learn from children's use and activities in the
urban space of slums to provide qualitatively superior local areas, and
from children's perceptions of slum upgrading and redevelopment?

Title: Children's Changing Urban Lives: A Comparative New Zealand-Pacific Perspective
Abstract:
Pacific Island countries are undergoing processes of urbanization and
globalization. This paper asks what these processes mean for children's
lived realities and for urban planning in the Pacific. It reports on
findings from a study undertaken with children aged 9-13 years in schools
in Suva, Fiji, and Dunedin, New Zealand, that looked at children's travel,
safety, neighbourhood relationships and how they use their local urban
environment. This research presents information and understandings that
can inform the development of urban areas and enable planners to respond
more effectively to meeting the needs of children living in a rapidly
urbanizing Pacific.

Title: Is 'Citizen Kid' an Independent Kid? The Relationship between Children's Independent Mobility and Active Citizenship
Abstract:
Children want to engage with their city and have freedom to explore and
learn. CATCH (Children, Active Travel, Connectedness and Health) is a
three-year research project investigating local environment influences on
children's independent mobility, social connectedness and health in four
Australian cities. In this project, 'active citizenship' as well as
children's ability to articulate local environmental preferences through
photo collages correlated with higher levels of independent mobility.
Taking a social constructivist perspective, these results are analyzed to
explain how children's active citizenship might be grounded in experiences
of local neighbourhood and what this might mean for children and cities.

Title: Putting Carmona's Place-shaping Continuum to use in research practice
Abstract:
This paper critically considers Carmona's Place-shaping Continuum in the
context of Cairns in tropical north Australia to explore the model's
applicability across different cultures and contexts. Drawing from context
analysis and interviews with knowing and
unknowing urban designers, this research uses a critical
policy lens to consider how the process of designing the city
for use might apply in Cairns, a regional, tropical city
quite different from where Carmona's model of urban design was developed
from. Results indicate that in Cairns, the geopolitical, economic,
environmental and cultural contexts continue to influence how things are
done in the city; there is little to distinguish knowing
and unknowing urban designers from one another; and that
whilst urban designers consider themselves to have a role in the urban
design process, few assume ownership of the process. The paper concludes
that Carmona's context elements of place, polity and
power are fundamentally important in the application of
the model in research practice.

Title: Urban design quality and real estate value: in search of a methodological framework
Abstract:
This paper presents a critical interdisciplinary examination of the
interface between the urban design and real estate disciplines and
provides a modus operandi for estimating different aspects of quality
design. The purpose of this paper is to provide a framework for further
developing hedonic modelling of real estate markets to value urban design
quality. It achieves this by investigating in detail the concepts of urban
design quality and real estate value, and by advocating the need for an
overarching conceptual approach through the application of utility theory
that provides the theoretical underpinnings of the framework.

Title: Urban planning and design as verbal and visual rhetoric
Abstract:
This paper explores planning and design processes through a verbal and
visual rhetoric approach by examining three case studies of train station
area redevelopments in the Netherlands. The paper illustrates how these
case study projects were conceived, constructed, transformed and
communicated to the stakeholders through stories and pictures. Three
threads are discerned, which run through the verbal and visual narratives
employed in the case study projects. The first is a longing for identity
and a return to the past. The second is a desire to project an image of
progress and success. The third is a shift from grand to piecemeal
planning. The three threads are overlapping but also contradictory. While
some of the rhetoric appears to be post-rationalization, its employment
had a strong ethical basis because, by densifying and revitalizing the
areas in the vicinity of main train stations, the three projects sought to
advance the public interest. While visually diverse and controversial, all
three case study areas represented a response to contemporary problems,
such as urban economic decline or automobile dependence.

Title: Memorial planning in London
Abstract:
Three London jurisdictions - Westminster, the Royal Parks and the City -
employ different policies, decision-making processes and criteria to shape
the siting, design and subjects of new memorial proposals, in relation to
different stakeholder interests, existing memorials and ongoing urban
development. Across these jurisdictions, some new memorials fit well into
existing physical, functional and symbolic contexts. Non-traditional
'spatial' memorials are often placed opportunistically wherever they can
obtain approval. Other memorials are incorporated into existing
commemorative precincts, despite dissonance in form or subject. Varying
systems, a densely-developed urban fabric, political influence and
compromise all lead to very diverse commemorative outcomes.

Title: Mathematics and geometry in Lisbon's Baixa district: checking influences from Valletta. A study on the street widths
Abstract:
The rebuilding of Lisbon after the earthquake of 1755 is one of the most
important urban developments in eighteenth-century Western Europe. The
reconstruction of the city gave the Marquis of Pombal the opportunity to
impose political ideas that affirmed enlightened rationalism. Strongly
influenced by the humanism of preceding centuries, the Reconstruction Plan
presents complex geometries in which mathematics and urban design go
hand-in-hand. This paper raises the hypothesis that the layout of Baixa
Pombalina was based on the application of mathematical algorithms that
were also identified by Jäger in the plans for Valletta, built 200 years
previously, thus restating the humanist feeling of Lisbon's
reconstruction. Establishing the existence of a mathematic rule in the
urban grid of the Baixa Pombalina proves its humanistic sense and
ascertains that the plan searches for the accomplishment of a humanistic
ideal world.

Title: Really public? Evaluating the publicness of public spaces in Istanbul by means of fuzzy logic modelling
Abstract:
This paper draws upon a model of the publicness of publicly owned and
managed spaces by means of fuzzy logic modelling. The value of this
approach is that it is practical in simplifying and emphasizing both the
interdependent nature of the concept of publicness and its complexity. The
proposed model aims to effectively evaluate and compare the publicness of
public space. The paper highlights different methodologies in
understanding this publicness by considering various conceptual approaches
at the heart of the debate about public space. In doing so, the paper is
organized into four main parts. The first part considers the complex and
fuzzy nature of the concept. The second presents the proposed model of
publicness based on management, access and user dimensions by analyzing
the leading discourse and previous models of publicness. The third part
draws upon research methodology and fuzzy logic modelling, and the fourth
part explains the findings of the case study in Istanbul.

Title: Construction and reconstruction of ethnicity in retail landscapes: case studies in the Toronto area
Abstract:
The ethnic retail phenomenon is a highly recognizable symbol of Canada's
multiculturalism. However, very little research has examined how
'ethnicity' is reflected through physical retail spaces or how a
neighbourhood's ethnic identity is constructed and reconstructed through
ethnic retail spaces. Interviews and surveys with key informants in four
ethnic retail neighbourhoods in Toronto, Canada, revealed the dynamics of
changing ethnic retail landscapes, how ethnicity may be physically
manifested, and the complex meanings behind architectural or structural
changes. The results can inform municipalities about the importance of
appropriate public policies in the areas of urban design, neighbourhood
identity and economic development to help enhance the flourishing ethnic
landscapes.

Title: Sustainable urban design -- a (draft) framework
Abstract:
This paper provides a roadmap or guide to help urban designers and
researchers understand the elements and topics in urban design that should
be considered when addressing sustainability. It describes ‒ within
the realm of urban design ‒ what is to be sustained, the metrics
for this and the urban design elements that contribute to those metrics. A
matrix organizes the urban design elements by topic and scale to help
urban designers and researchers relate these disparate aspects, identify
areas of synergy and serve as a basis for comparison when trade-offs are
present.

Title: Biodiversity offsetting and net positive design
Abstract:
Biodiversity offsetting is used in both urban development and regional
resource consent processes to compensate for unavoidable environmental
impacts. Using North American, Australian and New Zealand examples, the
limitations, opportunities and contradictions of the conventional approach
in biodiversity offsetting schemes relevant to the built urban environment
were reviewed. It was found that there is not adequate accounting for
incremental and cumulative effects over time and space, especially given
ecological uncertainty. Benchmarking against current conditions has
sanctioned a gradual loss of ecological carrying capacity and
biodiversity. Net biodiversity gains are possible, but this will require
shifts in frameworks for assessing both buildings and biodiversity offsets
towards net positive planning and design.

Title: ‘This place feels authentic’: exploring experiences of authenticity of place in relation to the urban built environment in the Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham
Abstract:
Discourses about authenticity of place have gained relevance in recent
years and are of increasing importance for urban designers. The paper
discusses notions and experiences of authenticity of place in relation to
the urban built environment and analyzes concepts of
‘experiential’ authenticity in the form of three key
dimensions: the experience of origins, the experience of continuity, and
the experience of potentiality and actuality. Drawing on qualitative
informant interviews in the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham (UK), the
paper examines how business representatives experienced authenticity of
place in relation to architecture and urban design, with a particular
focus on individual identity constructions.

Title: Shaping pedestrian movement through playful interventions in security planning: what do field surveys suggest?
Abstract:
The control and shaping of pedestrian movement recurs as an aspect of
security planning for crowded spaces. Using the concepts of
triangulation, performance and
flow, this paper presents a series of experiments
designed to shape pedestrian movement patterns in public spaces in
different spatial and operation contexts, by eliciting noticeable
behaviours and disrupting routine use of space. The hypothesis
investigated is that playful, non-obstructive interventions foster a
positive social experience yet can be used to shape pedestrian movement.
The interventions examined were around the themes of floor marking and
mirrors. Analysis demonstrated that the interventions were able to create
zones of attraction and exclusion, engage people’s curiosity and
elicit playful actions. Habituation, goal-directed behaviour and the
influence of increased cognitive load at personal level were all important
factors responsible for reducing the level of engagement with an
intervention. The results suggest that increased understanding between
environmental and interpersonal stimuli and behavioural responses can
provide guidance in using socially acceptable design interventions to
influence use of space in different operational contexts, contributing to
sustainable security.

Title: Learning from lost landscapes: a role for local history in suburban infill strategies
Abstract:
Infill development in inner suburbs is key to achieving greater urban
sustainability. Where developers see opportunities in inner suburbs, there
is the challenge of integrating denser construction into landscapes valued
for their distinctness from central cities. This paper argues that
planners and designers can create strategies for achieving
context-sensitive infill by studying the historic form of older suburban
downtowns. It considers a historically inspired approach to infill
development in the Watertown Square area of Watertown, Massachusetts. It
also discusses the area’s evolution through a review of Sanborn
maps and historical planning documents, and proposes a design strategy for
infill there.

Title: ‘Fourth places’: the contemporary public settings for informal social interaction among strangers
Abstract:
This paper introduces ‘fourth places’ as an additional
category of informal social settings alongside ‘third
places’. Through extensive empirical fieldwork on where and how
social interaction among strangers occurs in the public and semi-public
spaces of a contemporary masterplanned neighbourhood, this paper reveals
that ‘fourth places’ are closely related to ‘third
places’ in terms of social and behavioural characteristics,
involving a radical departure from the routines of home and work,
inclusivity and social comfort. However, the activities, users, locations
and spatial conditions that support them are very different. They are
characterized by ‘in-betweenness’ in terms of spaces,
activities, time and management, as well as a great sense of publicness.
This paper will demonstrate that the latter conditions are effective in
breaking the ‘placelessness’ and ‘fortress’
designs of newly designed urban public spaces and that, by doing so, they
make ‘fourth places’ sociologically more open in order to
bring strangers together. The recognition of these findings problematizes
well-established urban design theories and redefines several spatial
concepts for designing public space. Ultimately, the findings also bring
optimism to urban design practice, offering new insights into how to
design more lively and inclusive public spaces.

Title: Public space and recovery: learning from post-earthquake Christchurch
Abstract:
How might the urban structure and public space of Christchurch change as a
result of the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes? This paper will look at council
and community led post-earthquake urban space projects in Christchurch,
New Zealand, to investigate the potential reconfiguration of urban public
space and structure and the balance of top-down and bottom-up design
processes for the delivery of these projects. This will be achieved by
comparing the performance of the urban public space and structure of the
city during the post-earthquake emergency and recovery phases, with a view
to understanding the contribution that these elements can make to the
resilience of Christchurch. The paper will argue that
Christchurch’s nineteenth century urban structure served the
population well during the emergency phases of the disaster and that
post-earthquake community-led initiatives model innovative capabilities
which may enhance urban design practice in the future.

Title: Toledo Tomorrow: reading Norman Bel Geddes' vision for the future in a shrinking Midwestern City
Abstract:
This paper examines Norman Bel Geddes’ 1945 Toledo
Tomorrow plan, his only proposal for a specific city, and its
stamp on the morphology of today's Toledo. The paper surveys
retrospectively the changes in the morphology of the city and critically
analyzes the impact of the Toledo Tomorrow Plan. Today's
Toledo, a shrinking rustbelt city, reflects Geddes' legacy of neglecting
the historic core, focusing on highway infrastructure, that has since
worked in tandem with the forces of decentralization and suburbanization,
and the city's weak relationship with its natural features and larger
region.

Title: On the verge: re-thinking street reserves in relation to suburban densification
Abstract:
This paper proposes an alternative strategy for delivering urban infill
development in suburban contexts. The paper contends that the combination
of upgraded streetscapes and residential densification could result in
positive synergies. These include the supply of open space amenity as an
incentive for resident groups to support infill development that achieves
greater than usual residential densities. The capacity of this approach is
tested in a research by design exercise in an Australian greyfield suburb
that has high infill development targets and expansive yet typically
poorly utilized street reserves.

Title: Applying urban morphology theory to design practice
Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between research
and design through an applied example of how architects can approach the
design for a building guided by data derived from morphological research.
An Expert Focus Group consisting of nine leading architects and urban
designers from Brisbane, Australia, was given the task of testing this
proposition. Analysis of the workshop outcomes are examined, and the
design drawings of each participant are assessed to determine the relative
congruence of the design proposals within the morphological commodity of
the specific context. In addition, qualitative data, captured through
verbal and written feedback is assessed highlighting the
participants’ observations and experiences of the workshop. This
paper makes a contribution to the current debate within the field on the
opportunities of integrating research with practice.

Title: Community-based adaptation through ecological design: lessons from Negril, Jamaica
Abstract:
This paper identifies the conceptual similarities between ecological
designs and ecosystem-based adaptations to climate change. The former
includes approaches grounded in expert knowledge, such as landscape
ecological urbanism, while the latter is rooted in local experiential
knowledge and relies on community-based adaptations. This paper bridges
these expert and experiential knowledge forms through a transactive
planning model by deploying design charrettes in the context of Negril,
Jamaica. The findings reveal that local people are aware of ecosystems and
prefer ecologically sensitive adaptation interventions. This study
concludes with planning and design recommendations for climate change
adaptation in Negril.

Title: Perceived urban design qualities and affective experiences of walking
Abstract:
This study investigates associations between perceived micro-level urban
design qualities, the affective experience of walking, and intention to
walk specific routes in the neighbourhood. A total of 106 residents
assessed on-site three routes planned for walking in semi-central
neighbourhoods. In the prediction of the residents’ intention to
choose to walk and intention to avoid walking the route, perceived urban
design qualities were mediated by the affective experience of valence of
the walk. The perceived complexity and aesthetic quality, upkeep and
order, and the presence of well-maintained greenery, were identified as
important. These perceived urban design qualities and affective
experiences varied between the three routes, but also within the routes.
It is proposed that understanding of site-specific affective experience of
walking environments could serve as guidance for urban design practices.

Title: A current inventory of vacant urban land in America
Abstract:
Vacant land is a significant issue in virtually every country across the
globe. This study presents a current inventory of vacant land and
structural abandonment in the urban United States. Using survey data, it
analyses vacant land trends by region and city type. Nationally, an
average 16.7% of large US cities’ land area is considered vacant,
with approximately 4% of city addresses unoccupied. The ratio of vacant
land to city size has increased by 1.3 percentage points since 1998 but
decreased by 3 percentage points since 1963. Regional variations exist in
both the amount and kind of vacant land, suggesting that any ameliorative
actions should be designed to fit specific conditions. Cities also
reported that most vacant parcels are small, odd shaped, and disconnected,
making them difficult to regenerate. Disinvestment, suburbanization and
annexation are the primary causes of increases in vacant land supply while
growing local economies, population in-migration, and city policies tend
to help reduce the amount of vacant land.

Title: Community planning and urban design in contested places. Some insights from Belfast
Abstract:
Although social conflict due to the presence of different groups divided
by cultural, religious or ethnic issues plagues many contemporary cities,
community and participatory planning methods still pay little attention to
segregation in contested spaces as a specific matter of
concern. This paper aims to contribute to filling this gap through the
development of a novel tool to be implemented during community planning
processes in contested cities, particularly in (visual) mapping processes.
The pilot area for developing the lexicon has been selected within the
city of Belfast, which has been struggling for years with problems related
to inter-religious sectarian conflicts. The material
effects on the urban structure of the long process of defensive planning
during the so-called Troubles and within the
post-conflicts peace programmes have been investigated by analysing urban
artefacts including edges, borders, barriers, doors, visual
control points. The paper suggests that a simple, recognizable
lexicon may contribute to honing community planning methods in contested
places by integrating the traditional methodology of visual mapping with a
tailored taxonomy of elements of urban conflict, which may be used at many
stages of the planning process, including developing a visual map, design
and planning, and developing and implementing an action plan.

Title: Infrastructures for disorder. Applying Sennett’s notion of disorder to the public space of social housing neighbourhoods
Abstract:
This paper contributes to the debate on whether introducing too much order
into urban regeneration processes hinders social life and interaction in
the public space. It engages with Sennett’s call for introducing
certain kinds of disorder into city life. While this debate has been
addressed in urban literature, many urban regeneration processes in social
housing neighbourhoods have attempted to remove all kinds of disorder from
the city, thus removing urban life from the streets. This paper proposes
‘infrastructures for disorder’: strategies for intervention
that create conditions for the unplanned use of the public realm in social
housing estates.

Title: Post-rational planning and the shifting role of planning imagery
Abstract:
This paper discusses how visual representations contained in urban plans
change during periods of rapid social, economic and political transition.
It investigates the consequences of these transitions, focusing on the
situation in Albania immediately after the fall of socialism. In doing so,
the paper contributes to the academic literature on the implications of
liberalization for planning, particularly in terms of the way in which
plans are formulated, presented and employed. The authors contend that the
visual representations and the written word both express and validate the
perspectives of power holders and the dominating planning doctrines. Maps
often contain hidden or subtle messages and agendas that are not
immediately apparent to text readers. To fully understand the evolution of
planning thought and practice in any place, texts and maps must be
analysed in conjunction with each other.

Title: The blight of beautification: Bangkok and the pursuit of class-based urban purity
Abstract:
‘Beautification’ is often invoked as a justification for forms of urban reorganization that threaten existing ways of life and ignore the aesthetic values and social needs of poorer residents. The case of Bangkok, dramatically exemplified by the official campaign to evict the community of Pom Mahakan, shows how little attention is paid either to the social problems that such modernist uses of ‘tradition’ are likely to cause or to the vernacular architecture that is being destroyed in the name of ‘development’ and of a harshly selective conservation regime. The future of Bangkok’s vernacular past looks decidedly bleak.

Title: Grand designs down under: utopias and urban projects in mid-nineteenth century New Zealand
Abstract:
Identified by utopian writers from the seventeenth until the nineteenth centuries as one of the last territories on Earth capable of being a potential paradise, the islands of New Zealand became the setting for a number of utopian schemes subsequent to their European discovery. The European colonization of the country in the mid-nineteenth century embodied many of the progressive ideals expressed in post-Enlightenment utopian texts, but followed an expedient capitalist settlement process honed during 300 years of British colonization practice. Late Victorian utopian writers challenged colonial reality with alternative ideas on land tenure systems, technological progress, governance and urban planning models. This paper will explore the dialogue between the utopian text and the planted community, to better understand the utopian influences on the design of colonial cities in nineteenth century New Zealand.

Title: Dialectic of design, rhetoric of representation
Abstract:
This paper examines the role of representation in mediating contentious developments. To the extent that contentions over form may arise from concerns about future development, design-based communication may minimize conflict. This paper argues the design process itself is mediation. Design arguments entail a rhetorical act since all arguments require rhetorical postures. From discourse analyses of three twenty-plus-year-old and two contemporary Southern Californian developments that include interpretation of compositional contents of graphic representations, this paper posits the rhetorical purpose of design representations and how their styles, modes and technologies were utilized to mediate development disputes presented in these case studies.

Title: Evaluating the local socio-economic impact of redevelopments using shift-share analysis: a case study of destination redevelopments in Las Vegas (1990–2010)
Abstract:
Monitoring neighbourhood change associated with a redevelopment is important for policy-makers, business leaders and residents. It helps evaluate public policy and changes in the needs of residents and businesses. However, using raw data (e.g. census data) to track such changes can be problematic. It does not allow one to distinguish between trends attributable to macro- and micro-scale processes. This paper demonstrates how a novel neighbourhood-level, GIS-based spatial approach using shift-share analysis can help resolve this issue. To illustrate its utility, this technique is used to examine the local socio-economic impact of destination redevelopments in Las Vegas between 1990 and 2010.

Title: The practice of tree worship and the territorial production of urban space in the Indian neighbourhood
Abstract:
In India, there are religious practices intersecting with the process of urbanization at various levels. This paper looks at the practice of tree worship which continues to be a part of everyday life here. Specifically, it looks at how the Peepul tree (Ficus Religiosa) shrine with its serpent stones and the raised platform around it (katte) contributes to the territorial production of urban space in the city of Bangalore. Based on a study of 10 kattes in the city, it finds that these urban spaces belong either to a process of territorialization by the local community or its deterritorialization by the government. The paper builds a theoretical argument for how the katte as a ‘human activity node’ contributes to an ‘urban web’ which is categorized here as the physical layer. It finds that the Peepul tree could enable a ‘network of relations’, termed as the social layer. It suggests that the information fields generated within these layers influences collective memory of the people. Finally, the paper argues that the two layers acting together can help formulate an urban design model that can minimize deterritorialization.

Title: Transit-oriented street design in Beijing
Abstract:
Using Beijing as a case study, this paper seeks to contribute to academic and professional debates about how general Transit-Oriented design principles can be translated into the Chinese context. It focuses on TOD designs of commercial streets adjacent to transit nodes (rather than residential neighbourhoods or other developments). The evidence presented in the paper suggests that while the Chinese public agrees with many of the basic TOD tenets laid out in the international literature, views about specific design aspects are closely linked to national cultural views and practices. Chinese urbanites are as desirous for human activities, pedestrian safety and comfort, visual variety, natural elements (trees and water) and complexity in outdoor spaces as Western publics. At the same time, in line with China’s pre-socialist and socialist style of urbanism, support for cycling and bus lanes, as well as mixed uses and commerce (including street vending) in TOD streets, is much higher than in Western countries. Personal security is less of a concern while the acceptable development scale is much higher than in the West.

Title: A lone light? A critical assessment of the outcomes of the Rundle Convergence Project in Adelaide, South Australia
Abstract:
Flagship urban design projects are increasingly employed by governments to achieve global recognition. Despite the political value placed upon and significant economic investment in flagship urban design projects, measuring their success and failure is extremely subjective. This research engages with this challenge though a critical analysis of the Rundle Convergence Project. Initiated by the City of Adelaide in 2006, this project sought to reinvigorate a drab intersection in the heart of Adelaide, South Australia. Touted alternatively as Adelaide’s Piccadilly Circus or Times Square, the Rundle Convergence Project promised much. However, arguably little has been realized in the intervening decade. Drawing on textual analysis of policy documents, landscape analysis and semi-structured interviews with key professionals and local government elected members involved with the Rundle Convergence Project, this research explores the successful and unsuccessful elements of flagship urban design projects in determining project outcomes. Tracing the Rundle Convergence Project’s conceptualization and development highlights the importance of appropriate contextualization and reveals the influence that individual vision, personal/political agendas and political cycles hold for the success or otherwise of flagship urban design projects. The paper concludes with a series of proposals in order to avoid the pitfalls and issues that bedevilled the Rundle Convergence Project.

Title: Design governance: theorizing an urban design sub-field
Abstract:
This paper introduces and theorizes the practices of design governance: the process of state-sanctioned intervention in the means and processes of designing the built environment in order to shape both processes and outcomes in a defined public interest. The paper is in three parts. The first briefly addresses ‘why’ the public sector should seek to intervene in design, in other words the motivations behind design governance. The second and third parts address respectively the ‘what’ and ‘how’ questions; what is design governance and how does it occur? They do this by dissecting the concept and investigating a number of recurring debates in the literature that reveal key conceptual threads and problematics running through these practices. The result, and the key contribution of this paper, is a new set of concepts through which to understand the governance of design as a distinct and important sub-field of urban design.

Title: The social poetics of urban design: rethinking urban design through Louis Kahn’s vision for Central Philadelphia (1939–1962)
Abstract:
The architect Louis Kahn is known for the simple yet poetic composition of his words. Through some of the unique features of his unbuilt master plan for the urban centre in Central Philadelphia, this paper argues that we can understand the true quality of Kahn’s design only when we look at his proposals through the lens of linguistics and semiotics. The appeal of Kahn’s design lies in what semioticists and linguists would call ‘poetic quality’, or the production of inventive understandings of both the conventions and new inventions of the shared social milieu. It is precisely because the poetic function in language is humanistic, that Kahn’s use of social poetics has brought the abstract ideas of urban planners down to earth in a way that everyone can appreciate.

Title: Desert New Urbanism: testing for comfort in downtown Tempe, Arizona
Abstract:
Outdoor human comfort is determined for the remodelled downtown of Tempe, Arizona, USA, an acclaimed example of New Urbanist infill. The authors desired to know whether changes were accompanied by more comfortable conditions, especially in hot, dry summer months. The physiological equivalent temperature provided an assessment of year-round outdoor human comfort. Building compactness and tree shade that became part of the changes in the downtown provided more overall daytime human comfort than open nearby streets; however some downtown sites were less comfortable at night, but below 40°C, a threshold for human comfort in this desert environment.

Title: Diversity of new uses in post-industrial landscapes: diverging ideals and outcomes in the post-industrial landscapes of Lowell, Massachusetts and Norrköping, Sweden
Abstract:
This paper presents an inventory and an analytical model regarding the diversity of current uses found in the post-industrial landscapes of the former textile cities of Lowell, Massachusetts and Norrköping, Sweden. The model relates the diversity of current uses found in these regenerated, post-industrial landscapes to the priorities emphasized in their redevelopment process, which is relevant because opposing ideals such as regeneration and diversity may collide with those of preservation and conservation. Empirical data gathered primarily by observations and theories relating to the importance of diversity/multi-functionality in urban settings form the basis of the paper’s analysis.

Title: Canal oriented development as waterfront place-making: an analysis of the built form
Abstract:
Place-making, as a thoughtful planning, design and management approach to creating communities, is critical not only to designers of the built environment, but also to developers and municipal officials who look to build and/or regenerate urban spaces that translate into vibrant successful places. Using criteria established in the Project for Public Places ‘What Makes a Successful Place?’ matrix, this paper applies onsite ethnographic research in analyzing three US canal oriented developments (CODs) to determine whether each place-based development has created a ‘successful’ place and used its canal feature as a development component in spurring urban growth and regeneration. More specifically, these canal-oriented CODs are assessed on the basis of how successful each is at (1) embracing the canal in its design and development, (2) intermingling the space with the greater urban form, and (3) connecting private and public spaces.

Title: ‘A cloud burst erupts’: visual rhetoric and Los Angeles’ Grand Intervention
Abstract:
This paper critically examines proposals for a new park in downtown Los Angeles in light of emerging theories of visual rhetoric. It asks what narratives emerged from a public and unauthorized design competition and the implication of these stories for the future of public space in Los Angeles. As a group, the submissions introduced three visions for the future of the park: it is a place for solitude, a place for digital engagement and a place that celebrates a voyeuristic type of display.

Title: Smooth flows, unhurried stays: everyday organizing in a downtown commercial centre
Abstract:
This study explores local actors’ participation in everyday organizing and thereby in the production and maintenance of social space in the urban milieu of a downtown commercial centre. By local actors, the study refers to retailers and maintenance workers such as security guards, cleaners and facility managers. The study is based on extensive empirical research being conducted in the Kamppi Centre, located in the heart of the city of Helsinki, Finland. The Kamppi Centre consists of a complex of commercial shops, offices, residential housing and public transportation terminals. It is a hectic urban milieu in a Finnish context and operates 24/7. The study identifies critical locations in the Kamppi Centre, particularly entrances, as well as the central indoor shopping plaza and the corridors where local actors are constantly negotiating the social space with the public. These places provide endless challenges to local actors’ everyday dealings with people and to the material flows and stopovers at the site. The study elaborates on local actors’ careful management of those places and on the organization of both people and material flows and visits as a way of producing and maintaining social space in a complex urban environment.

Title: Transforming spaces into lively public open places: case studies of practical interventions
Abstract:
Urban public open spaces are an important part of the urban environment, creating the framework for public life. The transformation of open space into successful public places is crucial in this regard. In the context of target-driven performance it is essential to identify the value of successful public open places, along with characteristics that define them. This research evaluated three case studies in Belgium (Namur, Wavre and La Louviere) which successfully transformed spaces into lively public open places. The transformation was captured by means of before-and-after imagery and analyses, and evaluated in terms of space-usage prior to, and after redesign, along with the experience and added value that the redesign brought to the area.

Title: Innovative street design in a city without freeways: the case of Vancouver
Abstract:
Vancouver has no freeways and is considered highly walkable. To move traffic on streets but retain pedestrian friendliness, the city uses pedestrian activated half signals where minor streets intersect arterials, involving signal lights for the arterials and stop signs for the minor streets. Having both controls at an intersection is discouraged by widely adopted traffic engineering standards because of the complexity it creates. Inspired by ‘safety in complexity’ literature, this paper presents research exploring how these ‘multi-controlled’ intersections are deployed and work in practice, and their safety records. Findings suggest they are not unsafe and users adapt to their complexity.

Title: Is there such a thing as a ‘fair’ distribution of road space?
Abstract:
In recent years, various reports and studies have provided quantified estimates of the distribution of road space among different transport modes in various cities worldwide. In doing so, and inspired by broader discussions on transport and urban justice, they have sought to point out the unfairness of existing patterns of road space distribution. Although intuitively tempting, this paper argues that appeals in favour of a ‘fair’ distribution of road space are inherently problematic. In order to illustrate this point, the distribution of road space in Amsterdam is measured using GIS cartography and discussed in relation to various transport-related indicators.

Title: Mapping neighbourhood outdoor activities: space, time, gender and age
Abstract:
This paper investigates spatial, temporal, age and gender patterns of outdoor social activities in urban neighbourhoods and their correlation with properties of urban form. Informed by theories and mapping techniques in urban sociology, urban design and behavioural research, the paper develops a methodology for mapping outdoor social activities and applies it to four case studies in London and Berlin. Findings demonstrate how different types of activities are spatially distributed, reflecting socio-spatial characteristics of the given neighbourhood. The paper elaborates the contribution of the research to ongoing debates such as gendered space and age-friendly communities and suggests methodological improvements for future research.

Title: Suburbia reimagined: Asian immigration and the form and function of faith-based institutions in Silicon Valley
Abstract:
Rapid immigration has caused dramatic social and spatial reconfigurations of American suburbs. This study examines how Asian immigrants reshaped the form and function of one Silicon Valley suburb through the building of faith-based institutions. It shows how immigrant faith-based institutions challenge scholarly understandings of suburbia as space of immigrant assimilation, and instead underscore their role in facilitating immigrant integration, community building and place-making. These institutions connect immigrants with social services and networks that help them adapt to new communities, promote intra- and interfaith alliances among diverse ethnic and national groups, and help immigrants stay connected with their countries of origin.

Title: Shaping Seoul’s memories: the co-evolution of memorials, national identity, democracy and urban space in South Korea’s capital city
Abstract:
This paper examines the evolving subjects, forms, symbolism, and spatial constellation of the diverse memorials erected in Seoul since 1953. It explores how these memorials have expressed shifts in national identity towards democracy since the end of dictatorship in 1987. It illustrates how commemorative intentions in this massive, rapidly-changing metropolis have intersected with other urban design aims and pressures. The analysis reveals an evolutionary progression in memorial themes, from heroic statues that re-establish roots of Korean national identity and independence, to marginal grassroots memorials and wider themed precincts that present more inclusive, democratic, complex narratives of identity and history.

Title: Everyday heritage concept as an approach to place-making process in the urban landscape
Abstract:
Urban design needs to respond to urban landscapes with historical contexts, while actively engaging with the place-making process, where the old and new components of a city merge to create new meanings for users. Unlocking the potential of heritage in its everyday context will enhance place identity, and spatial and historic connectivity of the urban landscape. The concept of everyday heritage can be understood as a place and people-led approach towards urban heritage and place-making. This paper examines this approach through a spatial analysis of historic fortification systems in everyday urban landscapes, and suggests that everyday heritage plays an important role in unfolding a place’s potential, which positively influences place-making within urban design.

Title: Towards complex and integrated urban design in pre-crisis Spain: the case of the Padre Querbes urban project in Huesca
Abstract:
Between 1990 and 2006 in Spain, municipalities with more than 10,000 inhabitants expanded by 58.28% in land area as a result of the housing bubble. This expansion provided the opportunity for an evolution in urban design practice, integrating a variety of theories about the city that had evolved separately during the previous decades related to urban morphology, housing typology, density and attention to open space. The paper assesses these factors in an exemplar of this trend towards integration, which is the last major urban intervention that took place in Huesca before the financial crisis affected Spain: Padre Querbes neighbourhood.

Title: Urban design, central London and the ‘crisis’ 2007–2013: business as usual?
Abstract:
London is changing, to a breathtaking extent. Beneath this fast paced activity, new patterns are forming and divisions that had been relatively unremarked before are now becoming increasingly visible. The ‘square mile’ of the City of London, which is now identified by some dramatically tall buildings, forms a contrast to the traditional urbanism of the City of Westminster, the majority of which is covered by conservation area legislation. This paper will consider this contrast from the perspective of urban design, examining both the wider development context for these changes and the separate design policies of these two historic organizations of local government. One of the key questions to be investigated is how these changes have impacted on the character of central London as a place. Moving on from the well-rehearsed debates about London’s skyline, the paper considers the significance of urban design in the context of a global urban spatial economy. It suggests that central London faces severe dilemmas about its future if the growth scenario continues.

Title: Toxic high streets
Abstract:
People in deprived neighbourhoods live shorter and unhealthier lives than those in less deprived ones. Socio-economic status alone does not explain the difference and there is increasing evidence that the physical environments in which people spend their lives are implicated in health disparities. Traditional shopping streets in the UK have changed out of all recognition in the last few decades. This paper explores the evidence around exposure to unhealthy shops and services and how this may impact on communities. The work underlines the need to consider these potentially unhealthy areas more holistically. The research concludes that while restrictive planning policies to prevent proliferation of some of these uses may have some currency, more proactively urban designers need to fundamentally rethink these places and what they offer to the people they serve.

Title: Temporary intervention and long-term legacy: lessons from London case studies
Abstract:
The paper explores the issue of temporary projects on vacant land, focusing on London in the 2007–2012 downturn. Using a case study approach, a link has been identified between the success of temporary projects and a longer-term vision, as well as a move towards better integration between temporary occupants and developer/landowner. Within this paradox the whole idea of temporariness is put under question, as is the traditional mainstream depiction of bottom-up in opposition to top-down action. These trends are contextualized within the dynamics of recession that has triggered new types of creative conversations between parties traditionally considered in opposition, and may contribute to reframing urban development as an incremental, organic and collaborative process.

Title: Exploring urban resilience in practice: a century of vacant sites mapping in Dublin, Edinburgh and Philadelphia
Abstract:
Urban resilience can be understood as the application of social-ecological systems thinking to the city in order to build adaptive capacity to change in urban systems. Vacant sites can become the focus of explorations into how to adapt and do things differently, for example in response to a housing crisis or recession. This paper explores the mapping of vacant sites as an example of urban resilience in practice using two approaches: the re-examination of historical precedents of vacant sites mapping in Edinburgh and Dublin influenced by Patrick Geddes (1854–1932), and related engagement with vacant sites in Philadelphia; and investigation of case studies of the contemporary practice in these same three cities in the context of Geddesian thinking and the contemporary discourse on urban resilience. Geddes is considered of particular relevance to urban resilience as his theories and practice also applied an understanding of social-ecological systems to the city.

Title: Mapping the gendered city: investigating the socio-cultural influence on the practice of walking and the meaning of walkscapes among young Saudi adults in Riyadh
Abstract:
Walking is a mode of perceiving the city which also contributes to health and social benefits. This paper studies the influence of the socio-cultural aspects on the practice of walking and the meaning of walkscapes in Riyadh, one of the most auto-dependent and gender-segregated cities on the Arab Peninsula, where socio-cultural values and restrictions regulate men and women’s use and access to public spaces. The methodology used is a combination of movement tracking data using GPS technology and map-based workshops where participants can reflect on their walking behaviour and spatial preferences. The results of mapping where the respondents walk show a city consisting of gender-specific walkscapes. Indoor environments, such as shopping malls, function as ‘urban shelters’ for women, so they use such spaces for walking. On the other hand, young men mainly walk in urban streets, which provide greater opportunities for gender interaction. However, streets are socially conceived as men’s walkscapes, which limits women’s presence, especially at certain times of the day. This paper reveals how walking experience, tempo-rhythm, sense of place and range of walkscapes are not only determined by ‘universal’ spatial qualities but also influenced by socio-cultural settings.

Title: Post-suburban revitalization? Redevelopment of suburban business centres in the Frankfurt/Rhine-Main region
Abstract:
This paper focuses on urban revitalization strategies and regeneration of suburban business parks in the Frankfurt/Rhine-Main region in Germany. Due to the polycentric city region’s strong economic development in the past decades, suburban business centres have been developed outside the traditional city cores. Back offices of large banks, foreign companies’ German headquarters and corporate services are often located here. Because these locations have diverse planning and realization periods they show a differentiated picture in terms of building structure, mix of uses or quality of public space. In order to get an overview of specific characteristics of suburban business locations, the paper analyzes these sites in terms of their quality of place and identifies two specific types. This classification is illustrated with two case studies located in Frankfurt and Eschborn.

Title: Do food trucks and pedestrians conflict on urban streets?
Abstract:
In the late 2000s, food trucks became common in US cities and municipalities debated controversial food truck regulations. When they justify the regulations, municipalities raise safety, health and general welfare concerns, including potential pedestrian congestion. This paper uses the insights from pedestrian behaviour research to determine whether food trucks interfered with pedestrian flow. Based on direct observation of food truck customers and customer-pedestrian interactions in and near the Chicago Loop, the findings show that food trucks served customers most often without interrupting pedestrian flow. In part, this was due to the street furniture zone, including trash cans, bike racks and utility poles that created waiting space along the kerb. During periods of crowding, pedestrians adeptly manoeuvred through lines of food trucks. Food truck customers were also responsive to pedestrian flow and the lines moved in ways that reduced impact.

Title: Space syntax investigation of Lubbock, a grid-like American city and some insights into isotropic layouts
Abstract:
This paper describes an in-depth study of a grid-like American city using traditional and recent space syntax analytical methods. The case study is Lubbock, located in west Texas, and is characterized by its ‘almost’ ideal grid layout ‒ one that is perhaps prototypical of American conditions west of the Mississippi River. After extensively describing the city, it is examined by using topological, angular and metric radii of space syntax analysis. From these, comments are made on factors influencing its layout and functional distribution, their relationships to syntactic understandings and some recent development trends. Through this process, the paper addresses the debate regarding the appropriateness of space syntax in investigating grid conditions, and responds to an emerging syntax theorem: local structure is metric and global structure is topo-geometric. In addition, the historical development of grid-like cities in the US is described, an implicit comparison of three syntax methods is provided, and a renewed case of syntax applicability to grid-like cities is made.

Title: Combining multi-criteria and space syntax analysis to assess a pedestrian network: the case of Oporto
Abstract:
This paper describes a GIS-based integrated approach to assess a pedestrian network by combining multi-criteria and space syntax. The analysis combines pedestrian attributes with street connectivity and both factors were evaluated by a group of experts. The approach was adopted in the city of Oporto. Results show that the city centre offers various conditions; however, overall they are poor for pedestrians. Moreover, the streets which scored best are not integrated into the network. The described approach can potentially be replicated in other cities in terms of improving the walkability and promoting sustainable urban mobility.

Title: Urban evolution as a spatio-functional interaction process: the case of central Shanghai
Abstract:
Precisely identifying the shifting urban spatial structures produced by urban forms and functions contributes to an advanced understanding of morphological dynamics and related planning practices. By reconceptualizing urban evolution as a centrality process in which spatial and functional centrality processes co-evolve, this paper explores the transformation of urban centrality structures of Shanghai, as captured by the shifting interdependence between spatial centrality indices and delivered urban function connectivity metrics, generated in tandem by spatial network and land-use patterns. Four snapshots of street networks and Points-of-Interest (POIs) in history are selected as a spatio-temporal description of the urban transformation of Central Shanghai. The results demonstrate that the centrality structures hidden behind the spatial networks and land-use distributions have affected each other dynamically and the characteristics of urban developments at various stages can be distinguished according to modes of spatio-functional interaction at multi-scales. The findings also indicate that shifting complex interrelationships between the spatial network and land-use patterns are the major determinants of the (re)formation of the urban function regions. The proposed framework offers valuable insights into the morphological evolution process of cities as indicated by the configurational interplay between form and function, thereby representing a novel way to identify urban change explicitly.

Title: Quality-of-service: toward a standardized rating tool for pedestrian quality of urban streets
Abstract:
This paper presents research to develop a quality-of service rating system for assessing the pedestrian-oriented characteristics and functions of streets that can be used easily and quickly by practitioners. Most existing methods of assessing pedestrian quality fail to take into account micro-scale landscape and urban design elements that significantly enhance the pedestrian experience, and those few that do are difficult and time-consuming to use. The proposed rating system is (a) context-sensitive, (b) capacity-sensitive, (c) takes into account micro-scale design factors, (d) is feasible to use in a professional planning practice setting, and (e) has built-in flexibility.

Title: The emergence of comprehensive urban design planning in the United States: the case of the San Francisco Urban Design Plan
Abstract:
The research question addressed in this paper is as follows: how can planners create municipal-scale urban design plans? The authors analyze the San Francisco Urban Design Plan, the first comprehensive urban design plan for a major American city, as a case study to answer this question. Adopted in 1971, the plan focused on design objectives for the city and the social roles of urban design in people’s lives. It was a policy document, and included implementation techniques, but no guidance on architectural design. It was a departure from urban design planning practice at the time, which focused more on guidance for architecture and large-scale master plan models.

Title: The mirage of the metropolis: city imaging in the age of digital chorography
Abstract:
Even as cities evolved geographically, the basis of city imaging (as codified by Kevin Lynch) remained relatively stable for over half a century. More recently, digitally driven transformations in urban life challenge the continued relevance of established city-imaging paradigms. Although digital navigation and mapping devices are readily at hand to neutralize any disorienting predicaments, the ability to image cognitively the wider urban environment remains integral to the construction of a meaningful sense of place. Towards the objective of reconciling city imaging with the place-making challenges of the contemporary metropolis, this paper explores the potential for innovating modes of urban mapping and representation. Specifically, the digital re-envisioning of the historical mapping practice of ‘chorography’ is positioned within Fredric Jameson’s challenge for a new aesthetic of cognitive mapping that enables the situational representation of the individual within the vaster totality. In doing so, the paper contributes to the wider adaptation of urban discourse to digitally propelled shifts in urban life.

Title: Barriers to the pedestrianization of city centres: perspectives from the Global North and the Global South
Abstract:
Drawing on personal interviews with local planners, this paper examines barriers to the pedestrianization of city centres in two contrasting settings, one in a Global North city (Brisbane, Australia) and the other in a Global South city (Kathmandu, Nepal). These cases are illuminating because Brisbane already contains a popular three-block pedestrian mall in its CBD (Central Business District), but proposals to expand it have not met with support, whereas Kathmandu’s plans to pedestrianize its busy historic centre have failed so far. While the cultural and economic circumstances of Brisbane and Kathmandu vary significantly, there are similarities as well as differences in their barriers to pedestrianization. The barriers include: (1) opposition from residents and motorists; (2) opposition from local merchants; (3) cost recovery; (4) access of delivery vehicles; (5) management of alternative transport and parking; (6) enforcement; and (7) institutional and political support. These types of barriers are certainly not unique to these two cities. It is very probable that similar issues are encountered in other Global North and Global South cities. It is clear that political, institutional and social barriers are more significant than technical and financial barriers. A dominating car culture is responsible for the general lack of commitment to pedestrianization.

Title: New (Sub)Urbanism and Old Inequalities in Brazilian Gated Communities
Abstract: In the last decade there has been a noticeable growth of suburban developments in Brazil, mostly gated communities, to the point that it has become a trend in the country's architecture and urbanism. These communities can be perceived as a loud response to urban violence, but are also increasingly anchored in a certain nostalgia that has gained space in the imagination of the Brazilian upper classes. In such an exclusionary climate, this study questions the future of Brazilian cities—should gated communities continue to be presented as the main solution to urban problems? The paper discusses these issues based upon the growth of gated communities in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and their questionable affiliation with New Urbanism, using the Alphaville Lagoa dos Ingleses project as a case study.

Title: Shedding New Light on Adelaide? Intersections between Urban Design Projects and City Marketing
Abstract: Cities are increasingly locked in transnational networks, thus prompting the need for competitive urban identities. Governments and policy makers are increasingly looking towards city marketing to gain a competitive advantage. Urban design projects have emerged as a key strategy in this pursuit. Policy makers often assume that physical interventions in place will assist in the creation of a more globally competitive urban identity. However, such an assumption may be overly simplistic, denying the complexities inherent in place. This paper critiques the relationship between urban design and urban identity through a South Australian case study. Investigating the Rundle Lantern, an urban design project aimed at activating a prominent Adelaide intersection and assisting to re-orient the city's image, the paper evaluates the capacity of urban design to create emblematic places that seek to communicate a more progressive and vibrant urban identity. Drawing upon a multi-method approach, the paper demonstrates the opportunities for and limitations of major urban design projects to achieve the place-making outcomes which they are purported to deliver.

Title: Defining Singapore Public Space: From Sanitization to Corporatization
Abstract: Singapore's built environment history demonstrates three areas worthy of consideration in the defining of public space within the island state—one of contesting space through dominant (colonial or state)/subservient (local community) power relationships in colonial and post-colonial Singapore; one of the reclamation and re-colonization of space; and finally the privatization of public space and the relationship between corporation and civil society. The homogenous, correspondent approach to design that sought to keep things apart in colonial and post-colonial Singapore has given way to an increasingly non-correspondent approach to design that attracts spatial and transpatial groupings in the state's drive to put things together. Paradoxically, however, the increasingly heterogeneous city is being served and interlinked by a continuum of privatized public space that is being controlled by dominant corporate powers with explicit rules of exclusion and usage, socially sanitizing space for more themed civil appropriation.

Title: The Rise of the Postmodern Metropolis: Spatial Evolution of the Sacramento Metropolitan Region
Abstract: This paper examines Sacramento, CA, as a case study of urban form in the evolving postmodern metropolis. Data were integrated from historical maps, aerial photographs and on-the-ground observation into a GIS database for the region, and historic and current built form were analyzed. Main findings include (1) the rapid spatial expansion and proliferation of built landscape forms within the postmodern region; (2) the rise of rural sprawl as a landscape type; (3) the peak in ex-urban land subdivision in the 1970s and 1980s; (4) the changing public sector role in driving urban expansion; and (5) the limited achievements thus far of growth management efforts and the New Urbanism.

Title: Relationships between ‘Wellness Centre’ Use, the Surrounding Built Environment and Obesogenic Behaviours, Sunderland, UK
Abstract: A growing body of evidence suggests that the built environment influences people's propensity to lead (un)healthy lifestyles. Researchers have suggested that some environments may promote sedentary lifestyles, while providing access to large amounts of energy dense foods and as such these have been labelled ‘obesogenic’. Further, the concept of ‘environmental justice’ has been used to explain the disproportionate exposure to harmful environments by poorer communities. The complex dynamics of how individuals interact with the built environment, in terms of physical activity and eating behaviours, however, is still little understood. This paper is based on a pilot study which explored the use and location of six ‘Wellness Centres’ in Sunderland—a post-industrial city in the North East of England with high deprivation rates and a poor health profile. Although a small study, the research suggests that there were links between the type of neighbourhood and the life styles displayed by the Centre users. It proposes that the seemingly more active lifestyles of the inner-city residents accompanied by lower mean BMIs, suggests that some neighbourhoods are more supportive of known aspects of healthy lifestyles than others and, furthermore, these relationships are not directly related to socio-economic status.

Title: Lost in Translation? Some Issues Encountered in Transferring Village Design Statements from England to Ireland
Abstract: The erosion of the distinctive character of smaller rural settlements in England has been addressed with some success through the preparation of Village Design Statements (VDS) by local communities. Adopting a more or less unmodified version of the English VDS model, the Heritage Council introduced a VDS programme in Ireland in 2000. This paper reports on an evaluation of that programme and indicates that VDSs in Ireland have had very limited success to date in terms of their stated objectives. The paper reflects on some of the difficulties experienced in transferring an established community-led initiative from one cultural, political and institutional context to another, and concludes that aspects of that context need to be addressed before VDSs are likely to redress the loss of distinctiveness in villages in Ireland or elsewhere. Further, it concludes that in many situations a community-led instrument embracing broader social, economic and environmental matters might be more appropriate than a VDS.

Title: Façade Colour and Judgements about Building Size and Congruity
Abstract: Façade colour is frequently mentioned in planning policy with regard to environmental evaluation, and assumptions embedded within planning policy tend to reflect the notion that ‘harmonious’ colours are more congruous than ‘contrasting’ colours. However, the literature relating to colour theory includes diverse meanings of ‘harmonious’ and ‘contrasting’, with some theorists suggesting that harmonious colours reflect hue similarity, while other theorists suggest that contrasting colours are complementary and a necessary foundation for colour harmony. Given the diversity in meanings of colour harmony and the relative dearth of empirical evidence relating to façade colour and environmental evaluation in general, a research project was undertaken to investigate the relationship between façade colour and judgements of building congruity and size. The investigation, which involved an experimental research design, incorporated a semantic differential rating scale in conjunction with visual stimuli presented to 288 participants using the Latin-Square technique. The findings indicate that judgements about building congruity and size vary in relation to changes in façade colour, and this may have relevance for buildings labelled ‘eyesores’ and large, industrial structures.

Title: Can art breach boundaries? Segregation and hierarchy at a fringe theatre festival in the Israeli mixed city of Acre
Abstract:
This study explores the relationship between art and urban boundaries using the case study of a fringe theatre festival in the Israeli mixed-city of Acre. While mixed cities today are understood as agglomerations of enclaves, maintained and reinforced by boundaries, urban designers and artists have used art as a culture-led regeneration strategy through which these boundaries may be breached. This study undermines the shared assumption of both fields: that art has the power to breach boundaries, by juxtaposing a city’s artistic activity with its segregation patterns and boundaries. Using super-positioning, the findings of two research methods have been integrated: urban research and ethnographic field work. The article shows that although the artistic activity in question is rooted in an avant-garde radical desire to subvert socioeconomic structures, it actually produces new versions and interpretations of the same segregations and boundaries in both space and society.

Title: The logic of design: its role in understanding the antecedents of urban informality
Abstract:
The everyday life of a city can generate informality in urban space, particularly in emerging economies. Using the grounded theory approach, this paper looks at how urban space in a market precinct is negotiated through tactics of street vendors and strategies of the government. It draws upon Herbert Simon’s work on decision making to show how a vendor moves from an existing situation to a preferred situation and terms this as situation satisfaction. It suggests a theoretical framework to understand the relation between the logic, decision and action of stakeholders to resolve the conflict between planning criteria and ground reality.

Title: Beauty in the eye of the design reviewer: the contested nature of UK design review
Abstract:
Design review is an independent expert-led mechanism, employed to evaluate the design quality of proposed developments. It claims an objective and transparent approach, yet has limited guidance on how, or what, reviewers should evaluate. Few studies focus on these reviewers or their attitudes and perceptions to the process. This research, using interviews and Q-Methodology, reveals key differences in how reviewers conceptualize and evaluate design quality within review. The paper argues design review is a contested mechanism, where subjective appraisal plays out alongside more objective approaches. Four competing reviewer priorities on the process are presented: sustainability; people/public; function; and visual aesthetics.

Title: Beyond design review: collaborating to create well-designed places in Scotland
Abstract:
This practice paper reflects on the national design advice service in Scotland that has been operated by Architecture & Design Scotland (A&DS) since 2005. Placed in the context of research on design review practice, the paper describes how design review in Scotland has evolved from a traditional panel model operating alongside a range of training and skills development functions into a more holistic and dynamic design advice service. The paper argues that the evolution of design review in Scotland signifies an innovative shift away from the often combative setting of a design panel, where the force of an argument frequently wins the day, towards a more measured, iterative and collaborative process of nurturing and enabling well-designed buildings and places.

Title: Better quality built environments: design review panels as applied in Cambridge, England
Abstract:
This paper describes how design review panels operate in England, focusing on three panels operating in Cambridge. It considers two questions: whether design review panels contribute to improving the quality of the built environment, and whether they are an important element of the design process. The analysis focuses on the quality and process of urban design, based on face-to-face qualitative interviews with planners, developers and panel members. In conclusion, despite the several shortcomings, the paper argues that the panels contribute to better dialogue between the different actors of the process, and hence can improve the quality of built environments.

This paper explores the marketization of design review in England, a tool of design governance that prior to 2011 had almost exclusively been within the purview of the state. This is no longer the case, but neither is it the case that the involvement of the market in the delivery of such services has inevitably undermined their public interest raison d’etre. The processes revealed in this paper, and its structure, draws evidence from three discrete research projects involving extensive stakeholder interviews (notably in London), ‘reunion’ workshops and a national survey of local planning authorities. It offers insight into a rare, and, according to those involved, ultimately successful example of marketization in design governance services, albeit one with potentially limited application unless the right conditions for such a market occur.

Title: Design review in Wales: the role of the Design Commission for Wales
Abstract:
The Design Commission for Wales was established by the Welsh Government in 2002 to champion high standards of design and sustainability in Wales, and to promote social inclusion. It introduced its Design Review Service in 2003 to promote good design in the full range of development proposals, and has a large multi-disciplinary team of professionals who give their services for free, and who provide advice to designers, developers and local authority planners on how to improve the design quality of their planning applications. Monthly reviews are non-confrontational and collaborative, and focused upon providing constructive design advice. The Commission works closely with the Welsh Government’s Planning Directorate to formulate design advice on the full range of planning and design matters. It has developed a network of young designers and programmes of events to facilitate design awareness and capability, and to ensure the future of design review.

Title: Extending urban stories through artistic research: the case of Jetty Street
Abstract:
This paper focuses on extending the narrative potential of urban design and public art through artistic research. It is a creative extension of a project from the author’s professional urban design practice. Supported by photographs and contextual descriptions, the central focus is an original watercolour that explores the project’s reclamation and generation of site-specific stories beyond conventional limits. Fragments of place embed themselves in the imaginations of those who create – and, later, experience – that place, influencing the continuous two-way people-place exchange. Urban design efforts could benefit from further research on possible impacts generated from such imaginative reflections within this exchange.

Title: Design review in Northern Ireland: the MAG process
Abstract:
This practice note examines the conduct of design review in Northern Ireland. Design Review has been conducted at the national level by the Ministerial Advisory Group, and the note explores the evolution of its practices and some of the challenges currently faced. Design review as a tool has proven to be an effective means to engage in and articulate a public perspective as part of the ongoing design conversation, but has not been high on the political agenda. A new push is required to raise awareness of the value of design and of design review to help secure it.

Title: The kind of art urban design is
Abstract:
Advancing the art of urban design invites scrutiny of ‘the kind of art urban design is’. Accordingly, this paper first discusses urban design as art, then uses Fokt’s framework for defining art and Lalo’s classification of arts to suggest fresh interpretations of urban design as an art. The paper then relates urban design to other arts, drawing attention to urban design’s affinity with architecture, landscape architecture, interior and garden design. The paper suggests that urban design can be richer for being an art, without neglecting the possibility for it to be functional or participatory. Advancing urban design as an art implies attention towards suitable means of distilling and instilling collective urban meaning.

Title: Cognitive affordances in sustainable urbanism: contributions of space syntax and spatial cognition
Abstract:
Post-industrial societies impose new ecological challenges on urbanism. However, it is argued here that most approaches to sustainable urbanism still share the conception of the humans-environment relations that characterized modernism. The paper finds support in recent knowledge developments in social-ecological sustainability, spatial analysis and cognitive science to initiate a dialogue for an alternative framework. Urban form engages humans not only through physical activities, but also mentally through opportunities for learning and creation of meaning, thereby both reinforcing and impeding behaviours on a cognitive level. Against this background, it is proposed that what in cognition studies is termed ‘cognitive affordances’ could form the core of a new epistemological framework of the human-environment relation in sustainable urbanism.

Title: Environmental stressors, urban design and planning: implications for human behaviour and health
Abstract:
Urban and neighbourhood design can moderate the effects of building design on human behaviour and well-being, and vice versa. The interdependence between built environments across scales is critical yet is often poorly understood. This paper overviews several psychological processes linking human behaviour to environmental design, both inside and out. In particular, the paper focuses on two environmental stressors ‒ crowding and noise ‒ in four daily indoor environments: residential, school, work and commuting. These two stressors are often linked and can adversely impact people if improperly designed. Moreover, urban and neighbourhood design can mitigate such negative effects. Key suggestions for practitioners and policy makers include proper acoustic design, easily accessible semi-public or outdoor places and walkable streets. Some illustrations of the nexus between neighbourhood and building design show that the tendency of research traditions in environment and behaviour to focus on one scale of environmental design probably misses important human-environment transactions.

Title: Urban design and planning influences on the share of trips taken by cycling
Abstract:
This study examines the effect of different street pattern, road infrastructure and other physical attributes on the share of bicycle trips in a community area. Using the 2011 census data and the road infrastructure data of Calgary city, the study finds that different street patterns have significant effects on bicycle usage and thus, should be considered in the development of new communities for promoting active transport. Also, increases in the percentage of green space (agricultural and park areas) and semi-detached houses are associated with greater bicycle use, whereas an increase in the number and/or size (area) of road intersections is associated with reduced bicycle use relative to other modes of transport.

Title: Walls, enclaves and the (counter) politics of design
Abstract:
This paper focuses on the political role of urban design in the transformation of urban and rural, central and peripheral, formal and informal landscapes in Israel. Based on design anthropology methodology, the political role of urban design in the production of aesthetic objects and landscapes that signify the control over individuals and communities will be explored. As this paper suggests, such a new form of political influence is hidden beneath an aesthetic and user-oriented façade, making it even more dangerous than previous more direct actions, such as gated communities separated from public space by stone walls. The paper’s interdisciplinary approach that is rooted in anthropology, design, architecture and politics will also point out some similarities between specific sites that are often considered different, namely Tel Aviv’s global and privatized gated communities on the one hand and the unrecognized Bedouin villages in the peripheral Negev region on the other. It will be argued that these similarities are the product of the politics of militarization, privatization and social fragmentation that are translated into urban design practices from ‘above’ via state and municipal planning policy as well as formal design, and from ‘below’ through informal and often unauthorized construction initiated by marginalized communities.

Title: Anatomy of a successful high street shopping centre
Abstract:
High street shopping centres are at the core of cities. The continuing design challenge is to adapt a built environment inheritance to meet the present commercial needs of retailers, maximize the potential of the physical environment and address the social amenities that are expected from a city/town centre public realm. This paper addresses the question of what makes a successful high street shopping centre and seeks to understand the relationship between property values, location, physical characteristics, diversity of retailing and use, and social vitality in two successful city centre retailing environments. The research also demonstrates the blurring between commercial and public space, and supports Carmona’s argument that successful social space also creates economic value.

Title: Urban river design and aesthetics: a river restoration case study from the UK
Abstract:
This paper analyses the restoration of an urbanized section of the River Skerne where it flows through a suburb of Darlington, England; a project which was one of the first comprehensive urban river restorations undertaken in the UK. It is shown how aesthetic values were central to the identification of the River Skerne as a site for restoration, the production of restoration objectives, and a design vision of urban river renewal via restoration. Secondly, the means by which these aesthetic values were realized through the design and implementation of restoration techniques and management operations are described. Finally, it is demonstrated how the resulting aesthetic qualities and overall landscape character were intended to accomplish a set of interrelated policy goals.

Title: Architecture competitions in an urban planning context
Abstract:
This paper analyzes discussions and controversy surrounding the architecture competitions that have been part of a large-scale waterfront redevelopment plan called the Fjord City plan in Oslo, Norway. Particular attention is given to the architectural competition for the new Edvard Munch Museum. The Fjord City waterfront development plan is organized through an entrepreneurial mode of planning and with clear neoliberal underpinnings. The paper looks at how architectural competitions are used and how they function within the context of contemporary planning.

Title: The impacts of mandatory design competitions on urban design quality in Sydney, Australia
Abstract:
The pursuit of high-quality urban design through the planning process is made challenging by two key problematics. First, control over the decisions that produce or alter the built environment is differentially distributed across numerous public and private agents. Second, there is little agreement about what ‘good’ urban design is and how it is best pursued. Recognizing this, the focus in this paper is on how these two problematics are being tackled through a unique design control initiative in Sydney, Australia. This initiative requires that all major property developments are subject to a design competition before they can be approved. The paper reports the findings of 41 stakeholder interviews and appraisals of 25 projects completed under these provisions. These findings indicate that mandated design competitions have helped force a general raising of urban design quality by re-distributing decision-making control and enabling a broad but non-prescriptive approach to the regulation of design excellence.

Title: Crowdsourced and crowd-pleasing: the new architectural awards and the city
Abstract:
A new system of architectural recognition, rooted in web-based design awards, is poised to impact city branding by redefining what constitutes popular architecture. This paper uses a qualitative discourse analysis of crowdsourced architecture awards, such as ArchDaily’s Building of the Year, to show how hierarchies of recognition are flattening, becoming more transnational and increasingly democratic. The production and consumption of recognition are tied to place branding by the idea of symbolic capital. It is argued that a shift is taking place in the fame that architects leverage to become the sought-after designers of our cities.

Title: Responsive cohesion in the art and artfulness of urban design: some case studies in Helsinki
Abstract:
The term ‘responsive cohesion’ combines the adjective ‘responsive’ (reacting, receptive, answering, sensitive) with the noun ‘cohesion’ (forming a unit, holding together). The paper first describes the character of responsive cohesion and examines its relation to the literature on preferences in urban aesthetics. The body of the paper critically examines how responsive cohesion is evident in five urban sites in the city of Helsinki, Finland. These sites range from mixed-use developments to individual buildings inserted into the urban fabric. The paper shows how a quality of responsive cohesion crosses boundaries of aesthetic value, functional value and ethics.

Title: The challenge of urban design in securing post-event legacies of Olympic Parks
Abstract:
Olympic Parks demand a very distinctive built environment in order to function for their primary purpose, namely to host major sporting competitions. These spaces, however, require substantial reconfiguration in the post-event mode to ensure viable, mixed use and liveable places. This paper evaluates the challenges of transforming Olympic Parks, using evidence from four past hosts: Munich (1972), Sydney (2000), London (2012) and Rio de Janeiro (2016). The discussion raises questions about retaining the ceremonial focus of the Olympic Park and whether a more decentralised model might make the associated urban design and planning legacies more deliverable for future host cities.

Title: One icon, two audiences: how the Denver Art Museum used their new building to both brand the city and bolster civic pride
Abstract:
Iconic architecture can draw global attention while simultaneously speaking to local audiences. In 2006, the Denver Art Museum opened an iconic new wing that help brand the city as a cultural city for both external and internal audiences. Based on analysis of interviews with stakeholders and archival documents, this paper demonstrates that the Hamilton Building project was used both to brand the city for potential tourists and to engender civic pride in Denver residents. This research provides a complex understanding of what roles iconic architecture plays in a city.

Title: Repositioning cities through star architecture: how does it work?
Abstract:
Public authorities’ declared rationale for the commission of star architects is based on the hypothesis that due to their specific capacities, buildings designed by star architects can have significant effects on the economic and social performances of their respective cities. With a conceptual impact model on hand, this paper illustrates the specific offerings of star architectural projects and the underlying hypotheses that link these offerings to intended and effective impacts. The investigation of three case studies shows that different rationales guided the development of these ‘special’ projects. The application of the impact model assists in identifying these differences.

Title: Local politics and planning over transnational initiatives: the case of Guggenheim Helsinki
Abstract:
There has been a tendency to portray municipalities as prone recipients of transnational growth-oriented development initiatives. The processes of transferring transnational urban development models are increasingly depicted as progressively de-politicized, with an emphasis on ‘strategic projects’ over long-term general planning. This study investigating the Guggenheim Helsinki museum initiative (2011–2016) provides one counter-example to highlight the relevance of local politics and planning. In Helsinki, the mayor-driven attempt at de-politicization was quickly rejected by the city council, which instead kept the initiative under political control, supported by a rich public debate highlighting crucial weaknesses and risks in the proposals. The municipality tried negotiating a better deal and adapting the initiative to the local context, including the museum design being shaped by Helsinki’s planning ideals and guidelines. However, the initiative was eventually rejected after a negative risk assessment showing too much dependence on public funding. The study shows that, instead of acting as prone recipients, cities may invest in public debate, improve their ability to assess projects, and avoid bypassing regulations, planning procedures or democratic decision making as if this was required by generic forces of globalization.

Title: The formal and informal tools of design governance
Abstract:
This paper takes a typological exploration of the ‘tools’ of ‘design governance’. It begins by exploring the generic literature that focuses on the range of instruments, approaches and actions ‒ the tools ‒ that policy makers deploy in order to steer public and private actors towards particular policy outcomes. Subsequently, how the notion of tools relates to practices of design governance is examined: first, encompassing three ‘formal’ categories of design governance tools ‒ guidance, incentive and control ‒ and second, by drawing on the work of the former Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) in England to introduce five categories of ‘informal’ design governance tools ‒ evidence, knowledge, promotion, evaluation and assistance. The result, and the key contribution of this paper, is a new and comprehensive (albeit evolving), design governance toolbox that extends from formal to informal tools and far beyond that which most policy makers recognize or use.

Title: Residents’ preferences for walkable neighbourhoods
Abstract:
The ‘walkable neighbourhood’ is promoted by planners and designers as a normative goal yet resident responses to this environment, the ultimate occupants of these settings, remain unclear. Completing focus groups with 11 diverse residents’ groups, a critically understudied politically engaged population which often seeks to shape planning practice, this paper unpacks residents’ environmental preferences and examines their relationship to neighbourhood attributes commonly associated with walking. Five dominant preferences relating to local amenities, social interaction, noise, greenspace and density were identified. Positive interactions between these and the considered attributes suggest that groups might find much to like in the walkable neighbourhood. The implications for delivering walkable neighbourhoods are considered.

Title: Does walkability undermine neighbourhood safety?
Abstract:
While the public health and environmental benefits of walkable neighbourhoods have been widely studied, the safety effect of walkability is still unclear. Using a three-year crime incident dataset in the City of Portland, Oregon, this study tests the link between walkability and neighbourhood safety. It finds that after controlling for many other variables, walkability is significantly and positively associated with burglary rates, but its effect on robbery rates is not statistically significant. Everything else equal, residents in the bottom 25% of Portland neighbourhoods with the lowest levels of street walkability are safer from burglary than those in other neighbourhoods. However, once street walkability reaches a medium-low level, the association between street walkability and burglary incidence turns statistically insignificant. After controlling for walkability and other variables, compact neighbourhoods tend to have lower burglary and robbery rates. Neighbourhoods with more retail space, restaurants and public transit service are associated with higher robbery rates. While previous studies show that public housing, particularly high-rise public housing projects, are associated with high crime rates, this study does not find any significant effects of them on burglary and robbery rates, after controlling for other variables.

Title: A design framework for small parks in ultra-urban, metropolitan, suburban and small town settings
Abstract:
Public parks contribute to neighbourhood quality of life, promote a more public daily life, serve as important focal points for neighbourhoods, and provide access to nearby nature as part of the built environment. Parks have a special role in the range of public space as a part of sustainable land use planning and development. Good design helps position them for relevant cultural and ecological roles. This research identified design principles that good, small urban parks share – including accessibility, specificity, authenticity, functionality, and adaptability – applicable in smaller cities, towns, and lower density areas. The framework was subsequently tested using interviews, remote and observational analysis in locations representing this variety of settings in the Southeastern, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeastern United States.

Title: Modelling 3D spatial enclosure of urban open spaces
Abstract:
Existing urban open space typologies within dense urban fabrics cannot meet society’s open space requirements in developing countries’ metropolitan cities, such as Istanbul. Because of high building densities, it is a challenging task to create new open spaces within urban cores. Developing new tools that work with the existing built environment is crucial to reveal ‘opportunity spaces’ that can act as breathing points within dense urban fabrics. In this research, a new model is developed to evaluate the 3D spatial enclosure of open spaces using basic geometrical properties and geographic information system (GIS) tools. As a case study, Istanbul’s changing spatial organization is analyzed using this model.

Title: Private-public space in a Nordic context: the Tjuvholmen waterfront development in Oslo
Abstract:
Based primarily on an observational study, this paper addresses privately owned and managed public space at the Tjuvholmen waterfront development in Oslo. To date, no other research has been published internationally on external private-public space in a Nordic context. The four factors or processes dealt with are planning and development, design, management and, in particular, use. The main finding is that Tjuvholmen’s public spaces are characterized by ‘tightness’ and reduced publicness. As such, they share key characteristics with private-public spaces described in the literature from the US and the UK, while in some other respects they also deviate from these.

Title: Responding to informality through urban design studio pedagogy
Abstract:
Recent scholarship suggests that the urban design profession is flourishing with many newly created urban design departments, programmes and certificates. Within this context, this paper suggests that urban design education should explore how urban designers can acquire a deeper understanding of the larger socio-economic processes which have an impact on urban form and different groups in the city. More specifically, it posits that urban designers should take notice of the informal urbanism that is burgeoning in many cities of the Global North. For this to happen, urban design pedagogy should prepare future urban designers to better understand and positively intervene in informal urban landscapes, and the urban design studio is an appropriate venue where this can happen. The paper articulates a four-tier framework of responding to informal urbanism through urban design that concentrates on the scope, context, process and practice of urban design. It details a graduate urban design studio that followed this framework to offer spatial solutions and accommodation of street vending in one Los Angeles inner city neighbourhood.

Title: Teaching collaborative and interdisciplinary service-based urban design and planning studios
Abstract:
This paper describes a collaborative interdisciplinary studio approach to teaching practice. These studios have engaged students, faculty and, in most cases, clients in real-world problem solving activities ranging from an integrated plan-design-build urban redevelopment projects to regional scale analyses and plans. It was found that integrated service-based learning projects were of benefit to students and communities alike if a specified set of criteria were met at the outset. Lessons for future pedagogy and research are derived from the findings.

Title: Citizenship in action: participatory urban visualization in contested urban space
Abstract:
This paper derives from the experience of a community-based university course that uses visualization and on-site methods to explore participatory imagination and imaging of urban spaces. Participatory urban visualization is a platform for discourse. It allows local residents to become involved in thinking the future of their locality, thereby activating their urban citizenship. The paper starts with a discussion of urban space and citizenship, and explores the potential of urban visualization and participation. The second part of the paper explains the context of Haifa, the ethno-nationally contested city in which the course is held, and presents two case studies. It identifies collaborative professional methodologies and techniques, and stresses participatory visualization as a vehicle for promoting communal sense of place and urban identity.

Title: Embracing the conceptual shift on new ways of experiencing the city and learning urban design: pedagogical methods and digital technologies
Abstract:
The innovations of the twenty-first century in digital technology and media have had major influences in the way young urbanites and future city designers think as well as experience places. In embracing this conceptual shift of how new communication technologies are changing people’s perceptions, experiences and ways of knowing the city, Oxford Brookes University continues to develop pedagogical methods which use new media in the teaching, learning and production of contemporary urban design.These methods are examined in this paper in the context of three undergraduate modules:•Taking the urban design learning experience out of the classroom and into the field using mobile lectures;•Using digital media in research and engaging with oral, visual and sensory experiences;•Developing design communication skills using video, animation, interactive PDFs and website design;•Bringing new perspectives to classic theoretical concepts by engaging with different media: Cullen’s Townscape from serial experiences in drawing to animated photographs and videos.These pedagogical innovations in experiencing, researching, designing and analyzing cityscapes have had a dramatic effect on the ability of students to transform themselves into design-aware and creative emerging practitioners. These are assessed for understanding the way students learn and the relevance of these skills for future practice.

Title: Using parametric methods to understand place in urban design courses
Abstract:
Today, many urban design studios begin with the data collected and analyzed by others and their abstraction is experientially distant from the place itself. New digital parametric methods of urban design education today support the inclusion of everyday experience of phenomena through (1) the systematic comparison of urban characteristics; (2) the inclusion of experience as phenomena over time; and (3) open formulation of urban characteristics by each student. This paper describes the methodology of three courses taught in Eugene in Oregon, Barcelona in Spain and Portland in Oregon. Each course integrated urban design principles and table-based geospatial information (GI) computing techniques that included phenomena of place. Unlike GI planning software such as ESRI ArcGIS and City Engine, the parametric software Rhino Grasshopper, with open plugins for CSV tables and OpenStreetMaps (Coast 2004) and custom scripting, allowed students to formulate their own open tools to understand people and place. This codification of time-based phenomena is especially relevant for the current generation of urban design students, but faces new challenges as tools of both analysis and design.

Title: An alternative pedagogic model for doctoral research in urban design
Abstract:
This essay presents an alternative to the traditional pedagogic model for urban design doctoral education where, as found in the humanities, individual students work solo, advised by a small faculty committee. Derived from the sciences, the alternative model integrates the student into a collaborative, multidisciplinary research laboratory setting, which provides access to the now extensive geospatial data on the built environment and on a range of behaviors. After apprenticing in spatial data analysis, individual students advance selected aspects of on-going lab research projects. The alternative model expands urban design thinking to research on salient issues faced by today’s cities.

Title: How is urbanism socially constructed? An examination of Japan’s post stations
Abstract:
This research explores the spatial and historical origins of urbanism typical during Japan’s Tokugawa period (1603–1868). Urbanism will be shown through three overarching thematic categories: natural features, built form, and the uses and activities of Tōkaidō’s post stations. Post stations (or shukuba) were towns and villages established at regular intervals for the convenience of travellers who often journeyed along the Tōkaidō great road. The intent of the research method is to act as a ‘prism’ to reveal the way of life, seen through the eyes of Ando Hiroshige’s Tōkaidō series of woodblock prints (ukiyo-e or the ‘floating world’). The results of the content analysis reveal the fundamental role of transportation/movement networks in sustaining the social and cultural vitality of the post stations and the alignment of this urban model with Green Urbanism, Transit-Oriented Urbanism and Urban Spectacle theories in contemporary urban design and planning.

Title: What can the urban designer do for children? Normative principles of child–friendly communities for responsive third places
Abstract:
This study explores the idea that all public urban places should be planned and designed keeping children in mind. Children from urban places are exposed to different types of urban and social problems. While many Western cities address the needs of children and young people, Egyptian cities overlook children’s needs and behaviours, especially in architectural terms. This study attempts to place Egyptian children at the centre of the urban agenda based on universal laws that secure children. The contribution provides procedures and design principles. A survey in Cairo was conducted through interviews with children and their parents. The results indicate that a child-friendly community can be created for positive social interaction between children, families and the built environment. The result also suggests that a third place will be the most appropriate area where a child-friendly community can be created. Such places are crucial for learning how children interact as they grow up because they are places where informal activities take place. The research concludes that for an improved built environment, it is important to focus on children’s lives in third places and what designers provide or hinder with normative design principles through the process of creating child-friendly cities.

Title: Hanoi as an assemblage of façades and the Deleuzean diagonal cut
Abstract:
As Vietnam began to enjoy a modicum of affluence in the post-1986 reform era, households sought housing improvements that were variously low-cost, self-help, often improvised, disordered, illegal and, in their effect, informalizing the previously formal. In Hanoi, the ‘tube houses’ of the ancient city were extended vertically and randomly, often exuberantly decorated; the Soviet-gifted, walk-up, concrete blocks of workers housing were typically extended horizontally and randomly with precarious extensions from previously bland façades. These architectural forms are especially linked to the present identity of Hanoi space and enter variously into the artistic imagination of the city. The paper invokes insights from Gilles Deleuze to account for these effusions, notably the idea of the fold and the baroque moment, and the place of the ‘diagonal cut’ through the assemblages of history-memory that constitute nation, city and place.

Title: What happened to Abu Dhabi’s urbanism? The question of regional integration
Abstract:
Neighbourhoods designed for Emirati citizens form more than 50% of Abu Dhabi’s urbanized land. As a result of planning strategies that neglect regionalism, these percentages are likely to grow in an unsustainable manner. This study traces these neighbourhoods’ morphological evolution towards the goal of identifying urban attributes that encourage cohesive growth. The analysis identifies three periods in Abu Dhabi’s neighbourhood morphology: the Inception Period (1967–1975), characterized by diversity, close-knit neighbourhoods, environmentally sensitive planning and integration with adjacent neighbourhoods and the city fabric; the Dispersion Period (1975–2007), characterized by fragmentation, massive expansion, parcel inflation and restricted integration with existing fabrics; and the Redemption Period (2007–present), characterized by nostalgic historicism, densification, parcel deflation and sparse regional integration. Neighbourhood typologies developed after the 1980s failed to conceive of physical planning at different scales. This failure led to a lack of environmental stewardship in efforts to meet citizens’ housing needs. Future development must take into account both cultural affinities and environmental effects and create effective compromises between these two priorities. Instead of relying on foreign experts, Abu Dhabi must involve local planners and academics in the construction of a new policy agenda that promotes the integration of different planning scales.

Title: The layered city: pedestrian networks in downtown Santiago and their impact on urban vitality
Abstract:
A distinctive feature of downtown Santiago is its three-layered pedestrian network, consisting of streets, pedestrian zones and commercial galleries. This research shows that an important part of the vitality of downtown Santiago is because of its physical and configurational structure of streets, pedestrian zones and commercial galleries. This three-layered pedestrian network has been able to introduce a progressive differentiation of pedestrian flows into the urban block, thereby allowing for lower rents and the diversification of retail, which in turn facilitates the social diversity of service providers and users in the historic centre of Santiago.

Title: Exploring the ‘Just City principles’ within two European sustainable neighbourhoods
Abstract:
The objective of this paper is to analyse and compare in detail the social structure of the two most acclaimed European sustainable neighbourhoods, which have had a completely different implementation approach: bottom-up urban development in Vauban (Freiburg) and top-down urban development in Western Harbour (Malmö). The goal is to uncover the unrevealed urban elements that determine social sustainability. The paper uses an innovative methodological framework - the Fainstein’s ‘Just City’ concept, which encompass several social determinants within three main pillars/principles: democracy, equity and diversity. The ‘Just City’ principles and its determinants add a new perspective to social urban manifestation encompassing ‘social justice’ and ‘local governance’ dimensions. These dimensions represent innovative research approaches in exploring urban social sustainability. Through the Just City framework, the social structure of the two representative case studies is dissected to establish the level of urban social sustainability in each urban area. The aim of the paper is to answer to the question: “Do the most acclaimed leading sustainable neighbourhoods embody democratic values, assure equality and respect (allow) diversity?”

Title: The role of urban atmosphere for non-work activity locations
Abstract:
Urban atmospheres as emotionally perceived quality of a situation, have received limited attention in empirically based studies so far. This study applies the concept of urban atmosphere to explore what, whether and how atmospheric characteristics of different locations, mainly downtown areas but also neighbourhood centres and non-central areas, influence and are of importance for residents’ perceived quality of life. The results stem from 33 qualitative in-depth interviews conducted in the metropolitan areas of Oslo and Stavanger. Nine themes of atmospheres were identified in the interviews, referring to several common groups of both positive and negative characteristics.

Title: Changing neighbourhood character in Melbourne: point Cook a case study
Abstract:
In the past two decades, Melbourne has been subjected to diverse pressures due to its changing scale and function within the global system of cities. Among many other features of the new phase in Melbourne’s urban transformation are its new suburbs which have proliferated in large numbers at the city’s urban fringe. Characteristic of these suburbs is a new urban character which has evolved as a by-product of a pre-defined and controlled mechanism in planning, design and implementation of housing developments. The objective of this paper is to investigate the process that determines the evolution of this new character; examining the role of local planning authorities and developers in shaping the built environment. Firstly, the paper discusses the definition of neighbourhood character and its interpretation among academics, policy makers, planners, urban designers, developers and real estate agents. Then in a three-step process the nature, quality and style of neighbourhood character in Point Cook are investigated through analysis of Council policies and through review of developer statements on character building and place-making. Lastly to understand how the idea of character is constructed and enacted by local residents of Point Cook, a survey was administered for the residents.

Title: The influence of urban design theories in the transformation of urban morphology: Montreal from 1956 to 2018
Abstract:
Research on Canadian urban design, despite some notable exceptions, is relatively limited. This paper explains from an urban form perspective the practice of urban design in Montreal, Canada, by studying three representative projects built during the past six decades. Through the analysis of these projects, the principal aim is to understand how urban design approaches have evolved over time and how they have influenced the morphology of the city. The main findings of the research show that the schools of thought that have nurtured urban design practices over time have especially influenced the link between planned built environments and city forms.

Title: Skateparks as hybrid elements of the city
Abstract:
This research argues that the spaces of skateboarding are hybrid. This is evidenced by not only the construction of numerous skateparks throughout the world, and their incorporation of design elements from the city, but the exclusion of skateboarders from urban spaces through hostile architecture. More specficially, skateparks, which are unique among sport facilities, are shown to be evolving hybrid places in a continuing dialogue with the city under which they are geographically and politically contained.

Title: A tale of the last two film row districts: historic preservation and urban design in Kansas City and Oklahoma City
Abstract:
Film rows existed in 32 North American cities to distribute movies across the continent. This paper examines the diverging outcomes of the last two remaining film row districts in Kansas City and Oklahoma City. After a period of decline, these former warehouse districts have been remade and revalorized as creative spaces in the post-industrial city. Kansas City has no formal recognition of its district and development pressures threaten to erode it further, while Oklahoma City’s has formal historic designation, branding and design review for construction. This paper considers the challenges for historic preservation and urban design for these similar places.

Title: Pokémon Go-ing or staying: exploring the effect of age and gender on augmented reality game player experiences in public spaces
Abstract:
While the benefits of play and discovery in cities have been widely discussed, the impact of augmented reality games, such as Pokémon Go, induced urban discovery on different demographics and their impact on perceptions of public spaces is yet to be studied. This paper examines the perceptions and usage of public spaces by different demographics of augmented reality gamers. The study finds that there are several statistically significant differences between the experiences of men and women, and players of different ages playing Pokémon Go in public spaces in Australia, particularly in their mobility, sense of marginalization and sense of place.

Title: Aesthetical cognitive perceptions of urban street form. Pedestrian preferences towards straight or curvy route shapes
Abstract:
Human perception of space is not purely metric. Route angularity and complexity-minimizing paths suggest that pedestrians, consciously or not, tend to reduce the number and the angle of turns when selecting routes. Decisions involving route selection are different when the main criterion is not the orientation but the aesthetics of urban forms. This paper indicates that 80% of a stratified random sample of 102 people stated to prefer, ceteris paribus and for continuous/legible routes, to walk throughout curvy paths instead of straight and felt the former as shorter too, to generically walk through a route, and to reach a destination.

Title: The effect of park renovation on civic trust: a survey experiment approach
Abstract:
While urban planners often cite public park revitalization as a means of improving community civic trust, there is limited research that verifies this practice. To address this gap, this study utilizes a survey experiment with Miami-Dade County residents living near a park undergoing renovation. The study finds that informing people about the renovation can increase civic trust relative to not informing them. The benefits of this research are twofold: the survey experiment methodology serves as a cost-effective means of comparing design elements while the findings confirm and extend conventional wisdom regarding the effect of park revitalization on civic trust.

Title: The influence of organic urban morphologies on opportunities for home-based businesses within inner-city districts in Hanoi, Vietnam
Abstract:
To a typical family in Hanoi, their house is not solely their home, but a valuable basis for their livelihood: a home-based business. This paper investigates the spatial impact of the city’s dominant built form characterized by organic urban morphology and building typology on home-based economic activities. Space Syntax is adopted to examine the proximity from these homes to the local main streets, which provides a pool of customers. Findings show that home-based economic opportunities are spatially distributed and sorted. The paper provides an evidence-based understanding of the economic performance of informal urbanism, and the potential impacts of urban design and planning decisions on individuals’ and cities’ economic well-being.

Title: From Place to NonPlace: A Case Study of Social Media and Contemporary Food Trucks
Abstract: Street food has contributed to the vitality of urban life across cultures for centuries; however, in recent years, major US cities are witnessing its transformation into a highly mobile service that benefits from online social media platforms. Place, social media and mobility in this food truck phenomenon are the basis for a methodological approach that aims to uncover new social dynamics occurring in cities. The first investigation departs from a social factors analysis of public space in order to reveal the cognitive and behavioural differences among various actors in relation to their direct experience of the environment specifically focusing on users of social media and non-users. The study then addresses the social processes of electronic communication and mobility among food trucks that transcend place. This research approach employs a ‘nonplace’ theoretical framework to visualize a temporal and malleable network of interconnected social and spatial processes. These investigations offer the field of urban design an analytical basis for cities confronted with emerging social processes of electronic communication and a framework to rethink the relational meaning, use, and relevance of contemporary urban place.

Title: A Site from Seen to Contextualized: Urban Place in Busan, South Korea
Abstract: Many contemporary urban landscapes influenced by anonymous commercialization and urban development are faced with the problem of spatial homogeneity and featurelessness. While this paper is grounded on the critical reading of contemporary landscapes, it proposes that such characterizations entail a particular epistemological approach in which landscapes are gazed upon at a distance by a third person observer. This approach is problematic as it does not take into account the role of human agency and socio-cultural contexts. This paper argues that personal experiences and socio-cultural contexts play a critical role in shaping place meanings of South Korea urban landscape as the landscape has evolved over massive social changes influenced by colonialism, war and rapid modernization. Taking hyper consumptive landscapes of Gwangbok-dong and Nampo-dong in Busan as examples, this research analyzes residents' landscape memories and narratives and provides an alternative reading of the seemingly anonymous and featureless consumptive landscape. Contextualized by unique historic events, socio-cultural contexts, and personal experiences, the landscape of Gwangbok-dong and Nampo-dong is reconstructed as a centre place.

Title: Reframing Practice: Identifying a Framework for Social Impact Design
Abstract: Increasingly, the urban landscape is being influenced by people creating or remaking spaces, revealing new uses and opportunities to designers trained to shape the city. As a result, they are also shaping how designers practice, what they design and who they design for. With the professional design community increasingly tackling projects within these environments, a growing challenge has been to define this work: its theory of change, its activities, and its outcomes. This paper explores possibilities of definition through articulating a working framework of a deliberate process. It examines three projects that have recently emerged in this area of design practice. In particular, the paper focuses on four common strategy areas (process, milieu, boundaries, practice) consistently deployed in all three projects.

Title: Unpacking Walkability: Testing the Influence of Urban Design Features on Perceptions of Walking Environment Attractiveness
Abstract: The potential environmental and health benefits of active transportation modes (e.g. walking and cycling) have led to considerable research on the influence of the built environment on travel. This paper presents the findings of a study combining environmental audits and a survey-based respondent mapping tool to test the influence of micro-scale built environment characteristics, including ‘green street’ storm water management features, on resident perceptions of walking environment attractiveness. Results suggest that this method is sensitive enough to unpack a concept like walkability into individual component characteristics. Findings from an ordinary least squares (OLS) regression model indicate that in a predominantly single-family residential context well-designed green street facilities, as well as other features such as parks, separation from vehicle traffic, and pedestrian network connectivity can significantly contribute to walking environment attractiveness.

Title: The 1922 ‘Symphony of Sirens’ in Baku, Azerbaijan
Abstract: In 1922, a ‘Symphony of Sirens’ was performed by the sounds and movements of human crowds, machine guns, cannons, factory sirens, airplanes, hydroplanes, trains, battleships and a steam-whistle machine across the spaces of Baku, Azerbaijan. Conceived well beyond the conventions of revolutionary festivals, the Symphony manifested 1920s avant-garde aspirations for a radical unity of the arts, technology and urban space. Furthermore, the location of the Symphony was notable: Baku was a city on the edge of the former Russian empire, and Azerbaijan had only two years prior been incorporated as a Soviet Socialist Republic. Connecting with several core tenets of the Soviet socialist and avant-garde movements, the 1922 ‘Symphony of Sirens’ can be interpreted as an avant-garde expansion of Soviet internationalism. The ways in which the Azerbaijani metropolis activated this bricolage of art, space and politics is significant, not least because the spectacle condensed a wide range of practices and ideas from Taylorism, proletarian politics, the artistic avant-garde and Azerbaijani culture. The spectacle's composition and location also had an outward impact, manifesting a geographical imagination that shaped the region's cultural and political identity and extended the possibilities of design practice.

Title: Moving Bodies: Open Gyms and Physical Activity in Santiago
Abstract: This paper analyzes the functioning of four recently installed open gyms—gyms installed on squares and green spaces that can be used free of charge by anyone—located in Providencia, a residential and commercial district of Santiago, Chile. Specifically, this research seeks to understand, among other questions, who uses these facilities, how often and for how long, as well as whether users were habitual exercisers prior to the installation of the gyms. The methodology used was twofold. The first study technique was to systematically observe the exercise areas between 7:00 am and 11:00 pm on four days (Wednesday and Saturday) in the months of December and August, corresponding respectively to summer and wintertime in the southern hemisphere. In addition, a survey was distributed to the 166 gym users asking, among other questions, how often they visited the gyms, for how long, if they did any other type of physical activity, and whether they were regular exercisers before the installation of these premises. The results showed that the gyms were very successful in prompting people to embrace physical activity, even those who were not regular exercisers. Moreover, the exercise facilities are contributing to the revitalization of the public spaces in which they are located.

Title: Addressing the Challenges of Urban Landscapes: Normative Goals for Urban Design
Abstract: Despite the flourishing of the urban design field over the last quarter of a century, many of the issues and problems haunting urban environments have not been resolved. Forces such as globalization, immigration, the explosion of digital technologies, and the rise of a service economy centred on consumption have important spatial and design implications, while how we design our cities may have repercussions on a variety of concerns ranging from climate change to the epidemic of obesity. The paper traces some of the spatial implications of socio-economic shifts during the last decades, and explores the role and responsibility of urban design in addressing the outlined challenges.

Title: Living suburbs for Living Streams: how urban design strategies can enhance the amenity provided by Living Stream orientated Public Open Space
Abstract:
Perth, the capital city of Western Australia, is a city which is urbanizing into seasonally waterlogged land on two major development fronts. One result of this is that many new greenfield developments are adopting Living Stream orientated Public Open Space systems to cope with the related drainage issues. With respect to this situation this paper scopes the twin research questions, to what degree can Perth Living Stream reserves be considered high amenity Public Open Space, and how can Living Streams be optimized, from an urban design perspective, to provide greater amenity?’ These questions are explored in relation to a taxonomy of recently constructed greenfield Living Stream projects in Perth. The paper concludes that a number of urban design strategies could be deployed in relation to urban density and structure, which could increase the amenity Living Streams provide.

Title: Mimicry in design: the urban form of development
Abstract:
This paper investigates the diffusion of Western-like built environments in rapidly urbanizing regions. It draws from Marshall Berman’s seminal treatise on modernity, which uses Goethe’s Faust as a metaphor. In the Chinese context, Berman’s analogy understands Faust as the consumer who craves the Western city. A further structural approach is suggested, in which Faust is also the State that encourages mimicry by pursuing fast development and creating artificial market dynamics. The Faustian metaphor thus explains the spread of simulacrascapes, which limits local inventiveness, participation and expertise. The conclusions of this paper recommend an endogenous approach to the design of urban form.

Title: Towards a genealogy of urban shopping: types, adaptations and resilience
Abstract:
This typological account of the urban morphology of shopping presents a diagrammatic genealogy of urban retail types from traditional markets, streets and plazas through various adaptations and mutations into the contemporary shopping mall and power centre. This genealogy shows an increased car-dependency, privatized and centralized control, and disintegration from urban life. Many cities have been transformed by contemporary retail types that are less walkable, equitable, productive and resilient than those from which they were derived. The challenge lies in the invention of new retail types with potential for re-integration into more resilient forms of urban development.

Title: The forest and the city: interpretative mapping as an aid to urban practice in sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract:
Many African cities remain predatory centres of consumption lacking the infrastructure that makes cities work elsewhere. Research in Freetown, Sierra Leone, indicates that latent, local topographical and institutional resources can strengthen civic infrastructure in the process of place-making and thereby build confidence in city scale institutions. The paper asks what part cultural memory, embedded in the forested topography, contributed to the foundation and resilience of three urban settlements and whether this contribution can be sustained in the face of urban infrastructure developments such as rapidly expanding road networks. It describes how place-based resources are used by local residents to mediate the impact of city-scale initiatives. However, they are fragile, hidden from a wider view and often ignored by city-scale practitioners. The paper concludes that in order to provoke a more fine-grained debate about civic infrastructure provision, urban practitioners should employ local survey and interpretive drawing techniques to explore place-based memory in support of a more inclusive and interconnected, non-predatory African city.

Title: Let’s meet at Citicorp: can privately owned public spaces be inclusive?
Abstract:
In US cities ‘privately owned public spaces’ (POPS) are spaces, indoors or outdoors, that are owned and managed by the private sector and by law are accessible to the public without payment. In exchange for providing these ‘bonus’ spaces, developers are permitted to build larger buildings than would otherwise be permitted under local zoning ordinances. In actuality, POPS are not always easily accessible to the public and are often criticized for their exclusive character. Researchers have studied the variation in the design, management and use of POPS but without the benefit of an explicit operational definition of exclusivity. Nor, in recent studies, have they differentiated between the observed use of the space and features of its location, design and management. The study reported in this paper addresses these concerns. It outlines a series of empirical questions to measure exclusivity and presents findings from field observations of interior bonus spaces in Manhattan and from interviews with managers of these spaces. Levels of diversity of users and activities were higher than expected, resulting from particular design features and management practices. The observed group activities indicate that virtual communication, rather than detracting from face-to-face communication in public space, can support and enhance it.

Title: Master plans and urban change: the case of Sheffield city centre
Abstract:
This paper critically examines the character, development and implementation of master plans as vehicles of urban change. The case of Sheffield’s city centre master planning is used to analyze how the city was reimagined from the early 1990s to the mid-2010s, and how the economic, cultural, social and political dimensions of urban regeneration were addressed. The paper argues that, in comparison to the post-war, welfare-state master plans, the master plans of the neoliberal period had a narrower spatial and thematic focus, linking place qualities to economic considerations, to be delivered through real estate investment. As such, social considerations were marginalized and, when a major economic crisis occurred, the new generation master plans’ lack of flexibility and vulnerability to economic fluctuations became apparent, much the same as their predecessors. This shows how master plans can be effective instruments for mobilizing investment and coordinating development around a selective spatial vision in periods of economic growth, but their utility is severely curtailed in economic downturns, when their coordinative potential is much diminished. They run the risk of becoming top-down technical devices to coordinate speculative real estate investment, without durable connections to the local economic and social capacities and needs.

Title: Articulating a social-ecological resilience agenda for urban design
Abstract:
In an era of change and uncertainty, the need for resilience is high on urban agendas. To date, multiple resilience concepts have been adopted into urban design with minimal substantiation. Resilience theory can potentially improve practice by rebalancing contemporary discourses in order to better value procedural aspects of urban design. The paper establishes theoretical links between urban design and resilience, where the integration of social and ecological systems, and the ability to enable adaptability and transformability, are key. In pursuit of shared principles between the two fields, a literature review identifies cross-cutting themes of diversity, social capital, innovation and learning.

Title: Street use and design: daily rhythms on four streets that differ in rated walkability
Abstract:
Few studies have correlated counts of street users to walkability features or tested for temporal variations in use across the day. Trained observers counted street users for four streets that differed in walkability according to the Irvine-Minnesota audit. From 7 am to 7 pm weekdays, across four 2-hour observation periods, all four streets had significant quadratic trends of increasing then decreasing use. Furthermore, the two most walkable streets also showed significant linear increases in users across the day. Part of a street’s identity is its temporal activity rhythm, and both walkability and rhythms can inform urban design and renewal.

Title: Place value: place quality and its impact on health, social, economic and environmental outcomes
Abstract:
This paper explores the link between the quality of the built environment and its value, in health, social, economic and environmental terms. This is theorized as ‘place value’ which, alongside ‘place quality’, is conceptualized as existing within a virtuous loop in which quality dictates value and value defines quality. To test this, a systematic review brought together wide-ranging international research evidence. The work confirmed a range of definitive associations between the quality of place and its place derived value. It also makes a clear link back from the evidence on place value to the sorts of qualities that enhance or detract from that value. These, in turn, define the constituent elements of place quality.

Title: Design strategies to respond to the challenges of shrinking city
Abstract:
Urban design decisions for shrinking cities need to take into account the quality of daily life of the community alongside with the built environment characteristics. However, little is known about why certain urban design strategies should be adopted in response to shrinkage. This paper examines approaches to influencing shrinkage through design, such as building a visible safety net for vulnerable populations, creating place-based social networks and reconfiguring the city’s stigmatized image. Based on the effects of each, four strategies are suggested for design practitioners and policy makers to choose and adopt during the plan-making processes.

Title: Does the classic American main street still exist? An exploratory look
Abstract:
The classic American main street ‒ walkable, well-serviced and supportive of mom and pop stores ‒ has been struggling for decades. This paper attempts to quantify the degree to which the American main street, or some aspects of it, still hangs on. It presents an exploratory, large sample look at the degree to which the blocks of one US city, Chicago, actually conform to idealized main street principles. The paper offers both an empirical and a methodological contribution: what metrics might be used to capture main street principles, and how does a large city like Chicago stack up to these stated norms? Eight variables are operationalized at the block level. While the metrics here do not reflect absolute consensus about what is important in an urban neighbourhood’s commercial core, they do cover three dominant narratives: servicing, opportunity and quality. The paper finds that the overlap in these three dimensions is weak.

Title: Measuring the robustness of neighbourhood business districts
Abstract:
A key component of vibrant urban neighbourhoods is the neighbourhood business district (NBD) – the place for amenities, shopping, social engagement and recreation. In order to provide these advantages and be competitive with big box and online retailers, the NBD must be easily accessible and provide a basic range of goods and services. Yet few tools exist that measure both the access and completeness of amenities on NBDs. This paper presents a systematic analysis and provides cities with a tool to assess NBDs and create policies and programmes to support more complete, robust and useful neighbourhood business districts.

Title: Evaluating the quality of mid-sized city parks: a replication and extension of the Public Space Index
Abstract:
The current study evaluates the quality of 60 city parks in Northwest Florida, using the Public Space Index developed by Vikas Mehta. This index combines the following five dimensions of public space: inclusiveness, safety, comfort, pleasurability and meaningful activities. It uses 40 variables to score public spaces across these five dimensions. The analysis serves as a replication and extension of the PSI in a mid-sized city environment. The findings attest to the utility of this methodological tool for the study of public space across urban environments, on a larger scale, and across disciplines. However, the discussion and implications suggest the limitations of the PSI for use in smaller cities and less urban environments. The study concludes with specific suggestions for adapting the measures of the PSI to more appropriately capture the quality of public space in these settings.

Title: From water sensitive to floodable: defining for water resilient cities
Abstract:
In growing urban areas, populations are increasingly exposed to the effects of climate change. Rainwater has been identified as a primary risk, although it is also an opportunity to pursue resilient and equitable cities while regenerating the urban ecosystem. Both urban design and landscape ecology have attempted to define effective responses to urban flooding and their synergy supports novel transdisciplinary approaches. The translation of adaptive management theories to the design process suggests working with rainwater rather than defending against it, combining science and practice. This paper retraces the evolution of design for flooding approaches and outlines the basis of an adaptive urban design for rainwater management.

Title: Room at the Top—The Roof as an Alternative Habitable / Social Space in the Singapore Context
Abstract: Rooftops have been both forgotten spaces for the underprivileged as well as celebrated spaces of the affluent. However, the rooftop as an alternative means of development has become increasingly explored as a means of densifying the city, replenishing open space for social interaction in an increasingly depleted public realm. This paper considers the practicalities of top up densification and, in the context of Singapore, their use as alternative social spaces. It argues that they should be included alongside the conventional urban spaces of the street and square (public) or alternative social spaces of the mall, arcade, court or hotel lobby (semi-public) in the broader open space infrastructure for civil society's appropriation. It further argues that in their current guise, they are semi-public domains. For their transformation into public spaces, a re-investigation into existing social boundaries and a greater symbiosis between public–private interests are needed to be able to create more civic rooftop environments.

Abstract: The Tang-Song period in China not only witnessed a drastic transformation of the urban fabric, but also registered the origin and formation of the traditional Chinese street, which continuously dominated the Chinese townscape until the urban upheaval of modern times. This paper examines how the medieval Chinese streetscape arose as a result of people's instinctive reaction to a variety of social, political and economic forces. In particular the paper focuses on random human factors as being a major driving force in the development of Chinese townscape defying precise measurement, standards and even guidelines. Rather than a product of wholly professional and political agendas, the successful street was a social product, experientially forged through the practice of daily life, in an optimum response to its context. The key to the success of the traditional Chinese street probably lies in its unique socio-physical nature, that is, a structured indeterminacy, in which social coherence and individual variety can coexist, and can be constantly defined and mutually refined.

Title: Urban Street Pattern and Pedestrian Traffic Safety
Abstract: This study examined the effect of different urban street patterns on vehicle-pedestrian crash severity. Pedestrian crash data for the City of Calgary for the years 2003–2005 were used to estimate a partially constrained generalized ordered logit model. Besides street pattern, many variables related to drivers, road, environment and traffic characteristics were used as control variables. The results indicated that currently popular urban street patterns, like loops and lollipops design, were found to be associated with higher pedestrian crash severity, when compared to the traditional gridiron pattern.

Title: Cultural Diversity and Spatial Structure in the Indian Urban Context
Abstract: Cities around the world have marked differences in spatial form and structure. To some extent this can be attributed to cultural differences. However, the impact spatial form has on the interactions within and between residents of different neighbourhoods is unclear. This paper calls on empirical evidence collected in the Walled City of Ahmedabad, India, home to Hindu and Muslim residents in distinct neighbourhoods for centuries. Employing Space Syntax method, this paper reveals significant differences in how public spaces are spatially laid out by these two communities. Muslim neighbourhoods have a spatial structure typical of a naturally evolved settlement, where the most integrated spaces are clustered centrally. In contrast, Hindu neighbourhoods have an ‘inside-out’ pattern, with the most integrated spaces located at the neighbourhood edge. The cultural significance of these distinct forms is discussed alongside the relationship between the neighbourhoods and the rest of the city. These findings on spatial structure could have an important role in Ahmedabad’s urban planning . A better understanding of how public space relates to lifestyle and culture could contribute to improved community relations. It could also contribute to dealing successfully with communal conflict, economic development, social sustainability as part of Ahmedabad’s future urban planning strategies.

Title: The Accidental Youth Club: Skateboarding in Newcastle-Gateshead
Abstract: Skateboarders re-invent and interrogate the physical structure of cityscapes as they use spaces, buildings and objects for skating. However, skaters are routinely regarded by the civic and business interests who dominate city centre planning and regeneration as, at best, a nuisance and at worst an unruly and dangerous blight. This paper reports findings from a research project involving skaters which begins to unpick this stereotype. A participatory methodology combining mapping, interviews and observation was used to identify spots used by skaters in Newcastle and Gateshead (North East England). The key spots were characterized using four criteria: trickability, accessibility, sociability and compatibility. Findings reveal that two further factors temporal and relational dimensions are crucial to the journeys skaters embark on. Sociability was the one constant factor defining favoured spots. The study revealed a sociable, entrepreneurial, creative skate scene. Far from being a problem the skaters add to the social capital of the cityscape. The findings suggest that rather than designing out skaters from the city the civic authorities should work with skaters to sustain their scene as a positive benefit to city regeneration.

Title: Public Perceptions of Compact Suburbia in Progressive, Burgeoning Communities
Abstract: Northwest Arkansas has a burgeoning population, and its suburbs need to become denser to accommodate in-migration sustainably. A sample of the region's public responded to housing development at 10 units per acre, as demonstrated by a physical model. Only around a quarter reacted favourably but, at the same time, the respondents were uniformly supportive of regional sustainability objectives that require greater suburban density. Recognition of the link between greater suburban density and regional sustainability tended to be associated with support for compaction, and acceptance of the spatial characteristics of denser suburbs was strongly associated with support for its implementation. Public support for denser suburbs in this region, and burgeoning areas elsewhere, could be improved if the link to regional sustainability is clarified and exemplars are used to demonstrate liveable, high quality precedents.

Title: Beyond Regulation: Special Improvement Districts, Design Review and Place-making in New Jersey
Abstract: Business improvement districts have become increasingly involved in shaping urban policy. In New Jersey, localities are showing interest in legislation that allows the delegation of design review to BIDs. Examining delegations in Bayonne and Maplewood, the paper illustrates the issues that arise when BIDs are proactively involved in both the development of review guidelines and the design of project proposals in addition to their regulatory role. Specifically, it is argued that this raises risks of the capture of the legislative process, bias and conflicts of interest. The paper concludes by offering practical suggestions to improve accountability and fairness in such innovative arrangements.

Title: The evolving metropolis after three decades: a study of community, neighbourhood and street form at the urban edge
Abstract:
In a highly cited paper, Southworth and Owens (1993) studied eight suburban areas in the San Francisco Bay area at the scales of community, neighbourhood and of street and house lot, and observed their changing morphological characters over time. Using USGS and Google Earth data and census data, a more robust analysis of the same areas was performed to identify changes during the last three decades and to re-test the validity of the authors’ original findings. Findings support and amplify previously observed morphological characters. Taken together, they reveal only minor changes to the overall pre-existing morphological patterns. Community street and land use patterns show minor changes but reveal additional complexity. Community urban patterns show densification through small-scale developments. Neighbourhood street patterns reveal previously unidentified differences between and within study areas. New residential developments also reveal previously unidentified types. Despite only minor morphological changes, significant socio-economic changes are observed in the study areas showing improvements in living standards during the study period. These changes are characterized by an increase in per capita income, density and diversity. Therefore, it is concluded that positive socio-economic changes can occur in suburban areas at city edges, even when these areas resist any significant physical changes.

Title: Knowing your audience: the contingency of landscape design interpretations
Abstract:
To address visual communication issues in landscape planning and design processes, an analytical framework that enables the study and possible anticipation of the interpretation of visual design representations is presented here. This framework consists of a hybrid theory of Peircean social semiotics and Laclaudian post-foundational discourse analysis (PDA). The semiotics of Peirce, through the concept of the interpretant, enable the conceptualization of the discourses that make up the socio-political contexts of design projects as so-called ‘interpretive habits’. This framework is demonstrated by partly reconstructing the socio-political context of Rebuild by Design, a design competition organized in the wake of hurricane Sandy in New York. It is suggested through this demonstration that the sign systems and discursive networks that influence the interpretations of design images by different stakeholders can be partially uncovered during the design process itself. By recognizing these interpretive habits during specific phases of the design process, planners and designers could potentially better anticipate the productive and counter-productive interpretations of their design representations.

Title: Perception of density by pedestrians on urban paths: an experiment in virtual reality
Abstract:
This paper presents a virtual reality experiment in a controlled visualization laboratory. The study explores the impact of morphology on the perceived density by participants along pedestrian paths. The issue addressed is the intensification of existing urban centres, where over-crowding may diminish their viability. The basic hypothesis is that increased visibility in a given urban space will be evaluated with a lower perceived density, and in some cases, a preferred view will decrease the participant’s perceived density. This research can contribute to future research and practice for the planning and design of sustainable urban environments for the benefit of pedestrian users.

Title: Attributes of successful place-making in knowledge and innovation spaces: evidence from Brisbane’s Diamantina knowledge precinct
Abstract:
Place-making in knowledge and innovation spaces is a challenging task for planners and designers due to the lack of competent conceptual frameworks and design guidelines. To address this issue, this study adopts a qualitative methodological approach to carry out an empirical investigation in a case study from Brisbane, Australia, i.e., Diamantina Knowledge Precinct. This investigation is guided by a conceptual framework derived from the interdisciplinary literature review. Interviews, supported with various data sources, are conducted among a range of key stakeholders. The findings reveal the key design attributes and considerations for successful place-making in knowledge and innovation spaces.

Title: Around Madrid: the continuing influence of historical urban development plans on today’s periphery
Abstract:
This paper describes the peripheral development that has occurred in Madrid over the last 16 years (2000–2016), a period split by the economic crash that occurred in 2008. The paper argues that the relationship between economic development and infrastructure corridors witnessed in this peripheral development is intrinsically connected to the nineteenth and twentieth-century plans for urban growth. While these corridors have some similarities to the Strip model for an automobile city discussed by Robert Venturi and Denise Scott-Brown in their seminal book Learning from Las Vegas, the Madrid peripheries enjoy a long genealogy that complicates any easy link to the Strip, particularly around issues of economic speculation, typology and image-making or imagining, which will be introduced using the work of Michael Neuman and others. The research design adopted examines the treatment of the periphery in a number of historical plans, particularly their attitudes towards infrastructure and economic development, in order to establish connections between those historical plans and the city’s planned and (partially) realized peripheral development today.

Title: Urbanizing villages: informal morphologies in Shenzhen’s urban periphery
Abstract:
The phenomenon of urban villages in China has received much scholarly attention in recent years, mostly about their socio-economic aspects and its role in accommodating rural migrants. While the link between the socio-economic functioning and the morphology of urban villages has been recognized, detailed spatial research, and morphological research in particular, is limited. Morphological research has generally focused on either rural villages or centrally located urban villages and much of the peri-urbanity that constitutes the majority of informal development in China remains under-researched. This paper explores the morphologies of urbanizing villages in Shenzhen’s urban periphery, with a particular focus on the distinctions between the old village core and newly built expansions. The paper opens up a series of questions about the morphology and morphogenetic processes of these villages and establishes a framework for future enquiry. How do we understand the informalized planning mechanisms in urban villages? How do we explain the morphological variation of urban villages? Are the processes that characterize urban villages restricted to the Chinese context or is there scope for regional comparison?

Title: ‘Urban acupuncture’ to alleviate stress in informal settlements in Mexico
Abstract:
This paper explores whether smaller-scale physical space interventions (‘urban acupuncture’) have the power to alleviate the stress, social pathologies and political disengagement experienced by the residents of informal settlements. The case study is Tepito, a barrio in Mexico City. The results, based on 20 qualitative interviews with local residents, support the idea that an ‘urban acupuncture’ approach has a high potential in this respect. In view of these findings, the authors argue that an indirect approach, focused on physical space, might, at least in the short term, be more productive in empowering of informal settlement dwellers than direct efforts at political organization. Physical, economic and political spaces are intrinsically linked. Little political engagement can be expected if people live in poor physical environments. While certainly not a panacea, acupunctural interventions might trigger much broader changes than initially intended.

Title: Schools and skills of critical thinking for urban design
Abstract:
This paper explores possible ways in which urban design can engage with critical thinking and critical theory. After a brief explanation of the terms, with particular attention to the Frankfurt School of thought, it provides various answers to the question as to whether urban design is critical or not. One categorization applied to planning critical theory is then used to explain the potential for employing critical theories in urban design. Critical thinking skills are then argued to be helpful for enriching the literature of urban design in order to achieve better practice. The conclusion is that urban design can benefit from critical creativity, which is an embodiment of critical thinking within the limits imposed onto creativity. In this paper, the ways in which urban design can engage with both critical theory and with critical thinking are explored in order to achieve better critical creativity in the field.

Title: Participatory design, temporary structures and the appropriation of urban space by marginalized youth: the problem of the Odd Triangle
Abstract:
This paper discusses the design and construction of a temporary structure in a neglected urban space. Researchers consulted and worked with members of a youth club in a deprived area of an English city to try to enable spatial appropriation through participatory design. It was found that age- and class-based relationships greatly constrained participants’ sense of appropriation. Participants did, however, appropriate the co-design process in enthusiastic ways centred on the transgression of adult norms. The paper concludes with reflections on how constraints on marginalized youth agency can inhibit participatory approaches.

Title: Harmonious spaces: the influence of Feng Shui on urban form and design
Abstract:
This paper examines the influence of Feng Shui on urban form and spatial design at multiple levels, from the domestic spaces of the home, through commercial development projects, to the planning and building of cities. It contrasts the ancient power of China’s emperors to directly plan cities according to Feng Shui principles with its indirect influence today, underpinned by cultural and commercial drivers rather than the direct influence of regulation. Although ‘official’ adherence to Feng Shui seems less explicit than it once was, there are signs that it retains a place in the decision-making environment. The paper concludes by advancing a research agenda around the embeddedness of Feng Shui within the cultures of planning regulation and decision making.

Title: ‘Clubification’ of urban public spaces? The withdrawal or the re-definition of the role of local government in the management of public spaces
Abstract:
This paper reports on a case study on the forms of urban public spaces governance that are emerging in the UK out of a rearrangement of governance responsibilities between local government, communities and private interests. Based on cases of public spaces in London under a variety of different governance arrangements, the paper critiques the dominant explanations of those processes, and suggests a far more complex picture in which empowerment and disempowerment of stakeholders of various types happen at the same time, along complex lines defined by geography, strength of stake and representation of that stake in a formalized governance transfer contract. As the paper suggests, the resulting ‘localization’ of governance, the devolution of governance responsibilities to those local actors with the stronger stake in them, does not intrinsically reduce the publicness dimension of public space, but it reshapes that notion towards one with a variety of ‘publicnesses’, with their own governance dynamics and positive and negative consequences.

Title: Redesigning China’s superblock neighbourhoods: policies, opportunities and challenges
Abstract:
In February 2016, China’s State Council released a set of guidelines representing a change in the country’s approach toward neighbourhood design: to move away from superblock neighbourhoods and create a finer network of urban blocks and streets. The paper traces the circumstances that prompted this change, drawing on a comparative review of international literature and practice, and explores the opportunities and challenges for urban design. While modifications of the superblock are somewhat overdue, this current mode of organization should not be entirely abandoned. The suggestions and overall blueprint warrant a more circumspect approach and should be adopted with discretion.

Title: Urban green space for health and well-being: developing an ‘affordances’ framework for planning and design
Abstract:
A vast literature exploring environmental influences on human health and well-being has provided renewed interest in connecting planning for the built environment with health initiatives. In response, planners and urban designers have been tasked with translating this knowledge into spatial planning and design schemes. This paper responds to an identified need for a conceptually-informed framework for green space planning and design for health and well-being that moves beyond attribute-descriptive studies. The notion of an ‘affordances star’ is proposed as a means to maximize the functionality and inclusivity of green space for health and well-being.

Title: Plan pedestrian friendly environments around subway stations: lessons from Shanghai, China
Abstract:
This research investigated pedestrians’ route directness, waiting time and satisfaction around subway stations in Shanghai, China. Twelve stations were selected from three different zones of the city. Six hundred questionnaires on people’s walking activities were collected. Results showed stations in the old city-centre had the best pedestrian route directness value and lowest waiting time followed by stations in the mid-ring and outer suburbs. Mid-ring stations had the best overall pedestrian satisfaction followed by stations in the old city centre and outer suburbs, which indicated there were other factors affecting pedestrians’ overall satisfaction other than walking directness and waiting time.

Title: Is New Urbanism changing the suburban development pattern? A case study of the Toronto region
Abstract:
This paper includes a detailed comparison of the design features and urban form characteristics of 10 urban fringe neighbourhoods in the Toronto (Canada) region, and examines the extent to which a new suburban development pattern has been created under the influence of the New Urbanism movement. Results suggest that although considerable variations exist in implementations of New Urbanist design, a new suburban development pattern has been created. This pattern is characterized by increased net density, improved internal street-connectivity, and walkable distances to parks, schools and transit stops. Through a close examination of the varied design outcomes, this paper highlights the trade-offs inherent in implementing New Urbanist design.

Title: A comparative analysis of cyclists’ paths through shared space and non-shared intersections in Coventry, England
Abstract:
This paper investigates the impact that road design may have on how cyclists ride through intersections. Using video observations of two intersections in Coventry, England, one shared and one non-treatment, an analysis of the paths taken by cyclists examines the variation in the paths ridden through the non-treatment intersection as compared to the shared space intersection. The results of this comparative analysis indicate that a significant proportion of observed cyclists ride similarly through both shared and non-treatment intersections. These findings indicate that shared space designs may not influence cyclists as the design theory itself states.

Title: Zoning reform for advancing sustainability: insights from Denver’s form-based code
Abstract:
Many municipalities are adopting form-based codes (FBCs) for advancing the sustainability of development and for facilitating sustainable design criteria that are difficult to achieve under conventional zoning codes (CZCs). The City of Denver recently adopted a citywide FBC. A case-study method was used to examine the extent to which Denver’s FBC differs from the CZC in integrating sustainable design criteria included in the LEED-ND rating system. The results indicate that Denver’s FBC addresses most LEED-ND criteria more strongly than does the CZC; however, some criteria deserve more attention. The paper concludes with recommendations for Denver’s FBC and for other municipalities that are considering zoning reform.

Title: Can we ‘Catch ‘em All’? An exploration of the nexus between augmented reality games, urban planning and urban design
Abstract:
Urban planners and designers have spent the last 50 years trying to activate unused public spaces, create walkable cities and encourage sociability through urban design. Pokémon Go has succeeded, almost overnight, to entice people of all demographics into the streets of cities around the world. In fact, many previously underutilized public spaces have suddenly become hot spots for all demographics, playing Pokémon Go and other similar augmented reality games (ARGs). While anecdotally it seems that ARGs activate public spaces, increase community interactions and facilitate exploration of urban spaces, little study has been done on the influence of ARGs on sense of place, or the way in which these games are influencing player engagement with the public spaces they are playing within. This paper reports the findings of a survey of 994 Australian players. The paper explores whether ARGs affect user needs being met in public spaces, and the implications of these findings for urban practitioners.

Title: Urban Design and the English Urban Renaissance 1999–2009: A Review and Preliminary Evaluation
Abstract: This paper reviews the urban design dimension of the English urban renaissance of the last decade. It focuses on the recommendations made in the Urban Task Force report in 1999, largely adopted by the New Labour Government, and follows through its implementation in planning, housing and regeneration practice to evaluate the design outcomes thus far. The focus is on four areas of reform: the pursuit of design excellence; housing supply and quality; public realm and urban environmental quality; and local governance, the latter providing the frame for the implementation of renaissance objectives. The paper draws on a very wide range of academic, professional and governmental literature as well as a collective academic study of the renaissance experience in each of the major British cities. It concludes with a discussion of the successes and failures of renaissance policy and the challenges to inclusiveness and sustainability that lie ahead.

Title: ‘Living Green’: The Promise and Pitfalls of New Sustainable Communities
Abstract: Until 2008, there was no comprehensive system to measure the sustainability of new community developments. Many new community projects, however, have won accolades for their design. This study examines 29 of these projects, in light of efforts to create indicators to measure sustainability dimensions of new developments. The study finds that the marketing websites of award-winning projects tend to focus on features that increase community attractiveness to potential buyers, but do not incorporate a full range of attributes to enhance environmental and socio-economic sustainability. This suggests the importance of more systematic rating systems and highlights the complexities of designing, building and evaluating communities.

Title: The Debasing of Myth: The Privatization of Titanic Memory in Designing the ‘Post-conflict’ City
Abstract: This article argues that the newly relaunched ‘Belfast Titanic story’ puts too much emphasis on extravagant claims for the real ship Titanic and thereby overly commercializes design and other public space issues in Belfast such that the Titanic of representation and its profound mythic status in western culture is debased. This reality in a ‘post-conflict’ city, where an ethnic war of attrition between competing identity claims forecloses mature cultural dialogue, is regretted.

Title: Chandler's Hotel San Marcos: The Resort Impact on a Rural Town
Abstract: This paper looks at the role of the elite and ambitiously designed San Marcos Hotel in the small farming town of Chandler, 25 miles south east of Phoenix, Arizona. The study traces the hotel's impact on the town's 2000 or less white farmers, and the sizeable population of Mexican migrant workers, questioning how a real city can thrive amidst a landscape dedicated to recreation and luxury. What is the impact of high-style design in a pioneering town, how can local people find their identity in a resort milieu, and what might be the tourist impact on the high immigrant populations common to many resort areas at the time? Using reports from the local Chandler Arizonan since 1912, oral histories and miscellaneous archival materials, the paper traces an evolving identity during the town's early decades. The paper responds to a call for locally based histories of rural towns, shedding light on a key period in North American town making, while contributing to a growing research about resort environments.

Title: Civic Art in an Age of Cultural Relativism: The Aesthetic Origins of Kevin Lynch's
Abstract: Kevin Lynch's seminal work of 1960, The Image of the City, continues to be a standard reference book for urban designers and social scientists alike. Nevertheless, the historical context through which this text emerged has remained relatively unexplored. The obscurity of the book's intellectual genesis has been compounded by Lynch's own bibliographic omissions. By revealing Lynch's full range of sources in the often contradictory theories and debates of the early 1950s, this paper illuminates an overlooked moment in the intellectual genealogy of 20th century urban design. The paper argues that Lynch effectively combined but also transformed contradictory strands of early 20th century urban aesthetic theory into a contemporary model of ‘urban design’. Rather than presenting some unified, ‘organic’ order, integrating both social and urban forms within some universal idea of ‘modern man’, Lynch's work suggested a way in which a pluralistic urban society, characterized by multiplicity and difference, might nevertheless share a common urban space.

Title: The Geospatial Dimension in Urban Design
Abstract: There is a growing interest in the creative merger of geography and urban design. This is driven, in part, by a renewed openness to connecting design to social, environmental and other related goals via geospatial analysis. This paper explains how the design-geospatial connection is made and what it means for the achievement of social and other goals. Through five examples, the paper shows how the geospatial dimension—the analysis of what is where—can be an essential part of the urban design process. The five examples provide practical applications of how these linkages could be appropriately structured.

Title: Ariel Sharon Park and the Emergence of Israel's Environmentalism
Abstract: This paper examines the planning of Ariel Sharon Park, Israel's largest metropolitan park, in light of the emergence of environmentalism in Israel. It identifies four periods of significance in the park's planning. First, during the first half century of statehood (1948–1998), and in accordance with the state's general environmental oversight, the area served as a derelict backyard for the evolving metropolis of Tel Aviv, with the Hiriya landfill as its focus. The second period started with the closure of the landfill in 1998. It followed the emergence of an environmental paradigm that emphasizes preservation of open spaces for recreation and human use, and resulted in the planning of the area as a ‘green lung’ or a recreational area. Following international trends, the third period (mid-1990s) is characterized by ecological planning, perceiving the park as a locus for various environmental services such as soil and water purification. Currently, the planning process refines the social and spatial connections between the park and the adjacent urban fabric, in accordance with the current discourse on social/ecological sustainability. Discussing Ariel Sharon Park as a case study, the paper traces the broad and general connections between planning and environmentalism within the unique social, political and ideological setting of Israel, and questions the limits of the current social sustainability discourse.

Title: Street Design and Street Use: Comparing Traffic Calmed and Streets
Abstract: This research compares the street activity in two very comparable streets over exactly the same period using time lapse cameras. The aim of the research has been to assess which approaches to street design might encourage the street life and activity most envisioned in the UK's national residential street guidance Manual for Streets. The two streets are directly comparable apart from their design qualities. One has been traffic calmed and the other has had home zone features applied to one section. This work found that residents stayed in the home zoned section of the street for relatively long periods, engaging in optional activities and also socializing. This is in contrast to the traffic calmed street which has emerged through a public involvement process, and where the resulting street did not show any significant change in the way that the street was being used.

Title: What Place is this Time? Semiotics and the Analysis of Historical Reference in Landscape Architecture
Abstract: This paper revisits the potential contribution of semiotic analysis to heritage design. A case study analyzes lay interpretations of a number of urban landscape designs, displaying different ways to refer to the invisible (archaeological) past. A total of 12 draft designs were produced referring to the past of three sites on the fringe of the Dutch city of Almere, and the various design options were discussed during in-depth interviews. A semiotic framework made it possible to grasp the structure and process of interpretation of the plans and their embedded historical references. It is demonstrated that categories of place routinely override categories of time in the interpretation of a historical reference and that designs (and therefore references) steeped in design tradition, or, more broadly, artistic tradition, are rarely understood by the potential users. Further, the study shows that the interplay of spatial, temporal and cultural context does not allow for an ideal strategy of historical reference, a design strategy that would work in every setting. Designing with heritage cannot be decoupled from context.

Title: From Urban Concept to Urban Engineering: The Contribution of Distributed Collaborative Design to the Management of Urban Projects
Abstract: The complexity of urban systems is an increasingly common topic in academic literature. Following in the footsteps of the industrial sector, which has understood this issue for many years, urban engineering must also tackle the challenges created by complex systems. Industrial engineering has provided a number of responses to this challenge, including design technologies, which are notably collaborative. It seems possible, at least in theory, to transfer a number of best practice methods and adapt these to the conceptualization of urban development projects (in the initial phase) in order to encourage their global management (in terms of strategic decision making) and their social acceptability. The challenge is then to formulate new methodological models, as well as to create an environment dedicated to their application.

Title: Design Blindness in Sustainable Development: From Closed to Open Systems Design Thinking
Abstract: The fields of urban ecology, ecological design and environmental ethics are essential elements of sustainable urbanism. Thus far, however, these fields really only contemplate eco-restoration, regeneration and resilience. To achieve sustainability, urban areas must be retrofitted to be net positive; that is, to expand future options, diversity and ecology relative to pre-industrial conditions. It is contended that the failure to do so is because the methods and metrics of sustainable urbanism were influenced by decision theory. Decision theory is ‘bounded’ systems thinking as it is designed to choose among alternatives or pathways. The resulting analyses and tools are negative as, for example, they allow social gains to balance out ecological losses. Design, in the sense of ‘open’ systems thinking, is needed to increase future options and add multiple benefits across many dimensions and scales. Key sustainability strategies in urban ecology, ecological design and environmental ethics, such as eco-efficiency, interest balancing and closing resource loops, reflect closed systems thinking. ‘Positive Development’ would require eco-positive design as well as eco-efficiency, an eco-positive ethic as well as procedural fairness or equity, and open systems thinking as well as closed loop systems. A tool is provided to illustrate how eco-positive design can be assessed.

Title: “There's Something about Subi”: Defending and Creating Neighbourhood Character in Perth, Australia
Abstract: Planning policy in Australian cities currently favours a more compact urban form, but proposals for higher-density development are frequently resisted by residents who argue that the ‘character’ of a place would be damaged or destroyed. This paper explores the factors underlying this resistance and assesses the extent to which character can be designed for. The paper relates a case study of the Perth suburb of Subiaco, where the design of a major redevelopment project was shaped by the form of surrounding areas, but where long-standing residents claim that it is ‘out of character’ nonetheless. Reflecting on the case through theories of place, urban design and ‘affordances’, it is suggested that this rejection of the project owes much to the way that urban designers focused on replicating certain physical features of Subiaco's character, while neglecting a host of everyday social and experiential meanings that were of equal significance to residents.

Title: The spatial dimensions of neighbourhood: how older people define it
Abstract:
This paper seeks to develop our understanding of neighbourhood boundaries, as defined by older people. Using interview and mapping methods, research revealed the significance of three factors ‒ built-form pattern, spatial distribution of the social networks and personal attributes ‒ as contributing to how older people define their neighbourhood boundaries. Research findings highlighted discrepancies between residents’ perceived neighbourhood boundaries and the statistical unit used as the neighbourhood proxy in most neighbourhood-related research. The findings suggested that the statistical information about the neighbourhood effects on older people does not necessarily reflect the lived experience of older people in their perceived neighbourhood.

Title: Innovation districts and urban heterogeneity: 3D mapping of industry mix in downtown Sydney
Abstract:
Economic heterogeneity is an intrinsic characteristic of cities, but it varies greatly within and between urban areas. The economic relationships and specific mix of service industries are important keys to the management and design of innovative urban districts that support the knowledge economy. Although heterogeneity is accepted as a general ‘good’ within urban design, the concept has not been approached systematically with specific physical relationships between industries, uses and the spaces they occupy generalized as ‘mixed-use zones’. This paper critically reviews the concept of mixed-use and investigates the concept of 3D heterogeneity using a fine-grained geographical information system (GIS) dataset to scrutinize spatial and economic characteristics of a commercial downtown ‘innovation district’ in global Sydney.

Title: Exploring how urban design has sought to inspire confidence and longevity in Western Australia’s Pilbara region
Abstract:
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, architecture in mining settlements often acted as a measure of wealth, as if to arouse confidence and longevity in places with an infamously brief lifespan. Arguably, recent planning for upgraded town centres in the Pilbara region of Western Australia has similarly employed urban form to provide reassurance to current and potential future residents of these settlements. Using Karratha, the largest urban centre in the Pilbara, as a case study, this paper explores the ways in which urban form has been used to further a narrative of longevity through references to traditional cities characterized by urban density, spatial delineation and economic diversification. While only six years has elapsed since the launch of a plan to guide Karratha’s transformation from a town into a city, the current mining downturn highlights the limits of urban design interventions in relation to broader issues facing the mining industry. The paper concludes by pointing to the implications of such urban design efforts for the development of cities in Northern Australia.

Title: New high-density intensified housing developments in Asia: qualities, potential and challenges
Abstract:
In the context of urban development intensification, public space often faces typological and programmatic contest and negotiations among the increasing number of diverse users, resulting in the emergence of new urban space typologies. This paper highlights the key considerations and trends in the development of new urban spaces in the context of high-density, high-intensity residential urban environments in Asia. It employs a comparative analysis of critical parameters and challenges of urban space design in three exemplary case studies from Singapore, Beijing and Tokyo, assessing their capacity to become models for quality-intensified housing development in future high-density environments.

Title: The traditional shopping street in Tokyo as a culturally sustainable and ageing-friendly community
Abstract:
This paper reviews the cultural sustainability discourse and discusses how community culture, community cultural capital and the elderly play a key role in helping communities sustain themselves over time. It argues that the elderly are resources, transmitters and multipliers of culture and a key driver in promoting ‘ageing-friendly’ cities. In particular, it investigates how creative, bottom-up urban design and place-making initiatives by the elderly take shape in diverse urban contexts. It takes two traditional shopping streets (shotengai) in Tokyo as case studies and seeks to clarify in the highly-developed, high-density, high-rise, large-scale urban context, how the two low-rise, small-scale shotengai have been sustainable and thriving over centuries; and how community culture and the elderly have played a role in developing and sustaining them. Through urban historical study, site surveys and street interviews, the paper addresses these enquiries and suggests ways to achieve a more ageing-friendly community in an Asian context aiming towards social and cultural sustainability.

Title: Multiple expectations: assessing the assumed roles of theory in relation to urban design
Abstract:
Designers take different approaches when dealing with urban problems. Some find solutions in existing theories, some rely on their creativity, and many take a middle way. The questions here are what they expect from theory and how they follow their expectations. This paper examines the ways in which theory is being applied within the field of urban design following on from recent discussions on this topic. The paper then identifies four models for employing theory within urban design: as servant of innovation, as scientific formulation, as a means to control wicked problems, and finally as the subject for critique. In a comparison, these four models are assessed in relation to their use within both design and research contexts. The final part of this paper examines how urban design professionals employ theory in their work within practice and academia. The paper concludes by examining the advantages and disadvantages of each model, and adds that being confined to one model of employing theory would exacerbate urban problems. Reflecting on the interviews, the paper advocates multiple models be used, specifically chosen according to the problem in hand.

Title: Forming post-socialist urban identities through small-scale heritage-based regeneration: a role for intangibles?
Abstract:
While the issue of socialist heritage in Central and Eastern Europe has been extensively researched by scholars, this paper addresses an existing gap in theory and practice ‒ how safeguarding socialist cultural heritage (tangible and intangible) can be used in post-socialist towns that have little emblematic resources available today to pursue urban progress and prosperity. The paper focuses on the city of Velenje in Slovenia and its collectivist means of original production. Attention is drawn to both the importance of this aspect of its intangible cultural heritage, and the problematic nature of appealing to it, to underpin citizens’ engagement in a small-scale urban regeneration project. The paper offers insights about how using cultural heritage can be called upon to motivate citizens to participate in urban development and reform their urban identity, drawing on the recent past and living memory, through volunteered labour.

Title: Clustering cities through urban metrics analysis
Abstract:
This paper describes a process for measuring and characterizing urban morphological zones. These urban zones are delineated for the entire area of Spain, independently of administrative boundaries and excluding demographic data, using a high resolution land-use dataset. Given the rich information available on land cover and subsequently assigned population data, it is possible to calculate a set of urban spatial metrics to classify these urban zones into homogenous morphological groups. Four types of urban agglomerations are identified in Spain by working with these urban metrics and applying a final cluster analysis. Although these groups have a general complex monocentric typology, each has its own specific characteristics. Finally, a picture of patterns and trends of urbanization for the main urban agglomerations in Spain is provided, offering some perspectives on the urban sprawl phenomenon.

Title: Objective possibility as urban possibility: reading Max Weber in the city
Abstract:
By employing Max Weber’s concept of objective possibility, this paper offers a theoretical conceptualization of a methodological approach to studying roads not taken in diversified cities. The paper incorporates Weber’s insight from the viewpoint of socio-historical analysis into an analysis of urban environments. In search of ‘other’ possibilities of planning, the paper presents a case study of the informal synagogues set up in Israel by members of Judeo-Arab communities. In this case, the possibility that was not actualized is ‘intimate publicness’, which encompasses new forms of organizing the relationship between private and public spaces.

Title: Urban public open space in the mental image of users: the elements connecting urban public open spaces in a spatial network
Abstract:
This paper discusses how the structure of urban public open space is created and interpreted in the mental image of its users in the case of Ljubljana, Slovenia. It reveals how spatially continuous urban open space is physically interconnected into the overall spatial structure of the city and how it is defined by a variety of the built form components. The question is how such space is present in the mental image of users and whether and how such space is structured into sub-units by its users. The paper aims to establish what its dimensions are, how it is divided into separate units at a mental level, and what the perceived hierarchical relations between such units are, in terms of spatial, functional and intangible characteristics of space that conditions this perception. It is argued that both the overall spatial structure of the city and its constituent components play an important role in how users conceptualize urban open public space.

Title: Public life, immigrant amenities and socio-cultural inclusion: the presence and changes of Turkish amenities in Amsterdam
Abstract:
Immigrant amenities contribute to the public life of the street by supporting its diversity and vitality, which is crucial for the socio-cultural inclusion of immigrants into mainstream society. However, immigrant amenities change within urban transformation processes, many times in the context of urban renewal. These changes influence their contribution to the public life of the street. How do these changes in immigrant amenities relate to the socio-cultural inclusion of immigrants? This study focuses on the changes of Turkish amenities in Amsterdam at street and city levels. It concludes that the decline of immigrant amenities contradicts policy aimed at supporting the socio-cultural inclusion of immigrants.

Title: Reconnecting public space and housing research through affective practice
Abstract:
In autumn 2015, activists and refugees in Vienna appropriated train stations for shelter. This paper explores their affective practices in order to reflect on their agency to transform predominant ways of understanding and inhabiting public space. At the place of arrival they made their private domain of everyday struggles a part of public space. In so doing they have produced a powerful means for confronting socio-spatial inequalities. Affective practice can therefore be interpreted as the spatialized critique of alienated conditions of everyday life.

Title: The campus and the city: a design revolution explained
Abstract:
This contribution to design history considers a recent shift in the approach to the architecture and landscape of urban universities. Based on secondary literature and published campus master plans, the paper contrasts the mid-twentieth century concern for separation with a contemporary search for integration. Although it draws primarily on European and American examples, its topic is generic. The campus design revolution is explored and explained at three scales, first viz-à-viz the university’s urban context, then its internal layout and landscape, and finally its buildings and their use. Each scale finds a design factor to the pursuit of knowledge.

Title: A methodological framework for defining ‘typological process’: the transformation of the residential environment in Ankara, Turkey
Abstract:
This paper investigates ‘typological process’, a key term in urban morphology due to its benefit to culturally-responsive urban design and place-making. The empirical identification of typological process is problematic because of researchers’ subjectivity in identifying changes, and the randomness of their selection of spatial characteristics in defining types. The paper demonstrates a method for defining and analyzing typological process in the transformation process of the residential environment in Ankara since the late nineteenth century. Three degrees of transformation are identified: continuity, partial continuity and mutation. The proposed method improves consistency and objectivity in the empirical validation of typological process.

Title: Measuring the differences of neighbourhood environment and physical activity in gated and non-gated neighbourhoods in Karachi, Pakistan
Abstract:
Neighbourhood environment (NE) is important for physical activity (PA); however, no studies have compared the NE and PA in gated neighbourhoods, especially in developing countries. Therefore, the objective of this study is to compare NE and PA between gated and non-gated neighbourhoods. Objective and subjective (n = 1042) methods and independent sample t-tests were used. Results show that all the indicators are significantly different except housing density. Vigorous Physical Activity (VPA) is higher in gated but walking is higher in non-gated neighbourhoods. Therefore, it can be concluded that gating can reduce walking habits of people living in gated neighbourhoods in developing countries.

Title: The image of the water city
Abstract:
Kevin Lynch’s theory of imageability was used to examine the contributions of imageability elements (landmarks, paths, nodes, edges and districts) and components (structure, identity and meaning) to the image of the water city. Through conducting cognitive mapping, photovoice and non-visual protocols in eight cities, waterscape mappability, identifiability and attachment were measured as water-based structure, identity and meaning. To generate measures for the image of the water city, independent raters evaluated the identifiability of sketch maps. Regression analyses suggest that only canal mappability (the structure of water-based paths) significantly contributed to all measures for the image of the water city.

Title: Measuring experiential qualities of urban public spaces: users’ perspective
Abstract:
This paper presents an index for measuring experiential qualities (EQs) of urban public spaces through users’ perspective. The index is underpinned by interrelated qualities of comfort, diversity and vitality, inclusiveness, and image and likeability. It is then applied to two public spaces in the Australian city of Brisbane: Queen Street Mall and South Bank Parklands. The index extends the user-centred measuring tools and can be used by practitioners, authorities and scholars to highlight users’ needs and concerns. Findings from case spaces revealed deficiencies and provided a deeper insight into EQs through integrating urban design qualities, perception and management measuring items.

Title: Ensuring park equity: a California case study
Abstract:
What determines park use by minority groups, and how can park equity be increased? To answer these questions, the study reviews the literature on the equitable use of parks, and analyzes the outreach strategies of 11 exemplary open space organizations with success in increasing park use by underprivileged groups. It finds that park suppliers can increase park use by making parks more accessible and welcoming, and incorporating the preferences of underprivileged groups in park design and programming. It suggests that the tripartite framework of distribution, accessibility and fit may be employed to plan for a more equitable use of parks.

Title: Changing use and performance of industrial estates from 1965 onward: the case of the Parkstad conurbation, the Netherlands
Abstract:
In the wake of deindustrialization and economic shifts, industrial estates in the Western world have faced strong changes in programmatic demands. While strategically situated urban brownfields have held a central position in contemporary urban design practice and discourses in the past, industrial estates, developed since the 1960s in suburban peripheries, have become central to these practices and discourses only recently. Drawing on a case study of the productive landscape of the Dutch Parkstad conurbation, this paper offers a novel research agenda for urban design in relation to industrial estates that developed under conditions of dispersal.

Title: Introducing body-language methods into urban design to research the social and interactional potential of public space
Abstract:
Since the 1960s the urban design discipline has experienced a remarkable turn towards the psychological, social and cultural dimensions of place. This is visible in its expanded body of knowledge to include a wide range of social science disciplines and in its investment in qualitative and cross-disciplinary methodologies in public space research to understand the different user’s needs and experiences. Comparatively, little research has been done on the social and interactional potential of public spaces. To fill this knowledge gap, this paper employs original empirical material from one case study with a view to focus on the bodily socio-spatial mechanics of social interactions among strangers in public space and to examine the potential applicability of body-language methods to study them.

Title: Assessing the long-term performance of the urban cores in four New Urbanist communities
Abstract:
This research assesses the business composition and morphological characteristics of four mature cores in suburban developments following the principles of New Urbanism. All contain a few stores offering basic convenience goods but lack a full array of retail options. Professional services fill many of the spaces, especially healthcare and finance. Census data indicate that local populations are insufficient to support much retail activity if customers are expected to come from the surrounding residential neighbourhoods. The results demonstrate the need to better integrate commercial cores with the surrounding urban fabric and to consider contemporary retail conditions when planning New Urbanist developments.

Title: Las Vegas in digital times
Abstract:
In his brief Commentary in this issue of the Journal of Urban Design, Jonathan Barnett recalls the communities of architects and planners’ excitement about the Scott/Venturi book Learning from Las Vegas, and asks what could be learnt from the city in the Mogave Desert today, 50 years later. He is observing a gradual change of the strip and the transition of the entertainment city into a normal American community that is threatened by a shortage of water. This brief Commentary is a response to his observations. It reminds the reader that entertainment habits are changing, that travelling to Las Vegas has lost its appeal, as Las Vegas is all over in the digital world of the twenty-first century.

Title: How Do the ’Peace Gardens’ Make You Feel? Public Space and Personal Wellbeing in City Centre Sheffield
Abstract: This paper reports on a pilot project to examine the concept of wellbeing as expressed locally by public reaction to the Peace Gardens refurbishment in the city centre of Sheffield completed in 1999. It was immediately popular with the public, but the aim was to find out what benefit people felt they derived from using the space. The study was conducted via a questionnaire delivered on site to pedestrian traffic over three weeks one summer. Over a thousand users of the space were asked one very simple question: How do the Peace Gardens make you feel? The authors' interpretation of the responses indicates a very high level of approval. Users of the space reported high satisfaction across four themes: wellbeing, safety, community and respite. While these findings largely accord with the literature, further planned city-centre development threatens the success of the Peace Gardens. The paper considers whether the planning of such spaces is designed to empower users to meet others on their own terms, or whether planners recognize that social needs require to be more controlled in busy urban environments.

Title: Accounting for the Needs of Blind and Visually Impaired People in Public Realm Design
Abstract: Public realm schemes are being introduced in urban areas without the usual delineation between the footway and carriageway provided by kerb edges. Concern has been expressed about the resulting spaces on behalf of the approximately two million people in the UK who are blind or visually impaired. This paper questions these concerns and presents the results from a questionnaire and in-depth interviews, and observational studies of blind and visually impaired people navigating in urban streets and spaces with and without shared surfaces. They show that blind and visually impaired people can identify many different surface types and delineators, and they use these, along with other features of the urban environment, in creative ways to identify their location and guide themselves. Shared Space schemes need to preserve a safe area for pedestrians, they need to provide a rich physical environment of contrasts in terms of surface tactility, colour contrast, and the enhancement of sound and other sensory clues.

Title: A Glamorous Gentrification: Public Art and Urban Redevelopment in Hollywood, California
Abstract: This paper will discuss the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority's Art programme. In particular, it will examine Gilbert ‘Magu’ Lujan's design for the subway station at the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street and how it has been mobilized to serve the city's renewal. Often referred to by the title ‘Hooray for Hollywood’ (1999), Lujan's design is an example of a public art project used to brand urban space by reinforcing the city's historical connection to the film industry. It constructs a material dimension to the association between the streets of Hollywood and the concept of glamour. However, as will be argued, a glamorized Hollywood threatens to displace those communities and individuals that exist along the neighbourhood's social periphery. In other words, glamour promises to efface those very extremes that have long characterized the urban space in Hollywood.

Title: Beyond Aesthetics: Assessing the Value of Strip Mall Retail in Toronto
Abstract: Many city planners are increasingly focusing on urban design guidelines to shape future growth. However, the social implications of this type of planning rarely appear in city plans. Toronto's new planning policies are shown to establish a polarized view of the city, focusing on aesthetic concerns rather than the use and users of spaces. Interviews with small business owners and local planners were used to establish the benefits of, and threats to, strip malls. The findings reveal that strip malls provide affordable retail space for small businesses not available elsewhere and the spaces are seen as highly desirable by many ethnic business owners. This paper highlights some of the problems associated with design-centric planning.

Title: Placing Graffiti: Creating and Contesting Character in Inner-city Melbourne
Abstract: Debates over definitions of urban graffiti as either ‘street art’ or ‘vandalism’ tend to focus on either contributions to the field of artistic practice or violations of a legal code. This paper explores the place of graffiti as an urban spatial practice—why is graffiti where it is and what is its role in the constructions and experiences of place? Through interviews and mapping in inner-city Melbourne, the paper explores the ways that potential for different types of graffiti is mediated by the micro-morphology of the city and becomes embodied into the urban habitus and field of symbolic capital. From a framework of Deleuzian assemblage theory graffiti negotiates ambiguous territories between public/private, visible/invisible, street/laneway and art/advertising. Graffiti is produced from intersecting and often conflicting desires to create or protect urban character and place identity. It is concluded that desires to write and to erase graffiti are productive urban forces, while desires to promote or protect it are problematic.

Title: Enclosing Paradise: The Design of Gated Communities in Barbados
Abstract: The nature of the physical boundaries of residential developments may reflect urban history, vernacular traditions and social conditions. This paper examines the urban design characteristics of gated enclaves in Barbados. The analysis illustrates that the quality and opacity of boundary treatments varies with the income level of neighbouring residential areas. Gating in Barbados reflects a development process complicit in transforming traditional urban forms into globalized neo-colonial urban design.

Title: Embracing Sea and Land: Ceremonial Tides in Lisbon's Waterfront Squares 1600–1800
Abstract: After a devastating earthquake, tsunami and fire in 1755, Lisbon's Terreiro do Paço, or Palace Square, was transformed by the Marquis of Pombal into a state of the art 18th century urban space called Praça do Comércio. This paper looks at the configuration and use of this space from the 16th to the 18th centuries, tracing customary, ceremonial and institutional events, with particular reference to the role the space had in connecting the city to the river and the wider maritime landscape. An analysis of the paintings in Lisbon's Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino (Navy Archives) and Museu da Cidade de Lisboa (City Museum of Lisbon) shows the space transitioned over two centuries from a high-tide condition fully engaging the water space of the Tagus to a low-tide condition that captured the space and engaged it with the reconstructed city quarter behind.

Title: The Problem with Thinking about or for Urban Design
Abstract: This paper is concerned with the interface between urban design as a practical, applied and ultimately creative activity, and the nature of the knowledge produced to support urban designers in their work. A distinction is being drawn between thinking about urban design and its resulting urban forms and normative thinking for urban design. The paper argues that thinking about urban design might usefully be informed by social science methods, but that the conclusions from such work must be in some ways limited to the applied field. Thinking for urban design, however, must embrace the wicked nature of urban design problems, and the interpretive and political nature of how we come to judge built form solutions. Research for urban design might therefore embrace methods and practices employed in the arts and humanities just as legitimately as those adopted in the social sciences. Similarly, assessments of research outputs produced within a tradition of urban design must adequately account for the nature of the field and its practices.

Title: Engaging Places: Localizing Urban Design and Development Planning
Abstract: The value of well-designed and people-friendly places is well recognized and there are many exemplars. However, often the qualities of quite ordinary but pleasant places are being gradually diminished, not as a result of deliberate intent but from a progressive erosion or degradation arising from many small acts or omissions. This does not seem to be because there is no shared perception of what qualities are desirable, but more from the difficulty of integrating actions in practice. In this paper the challenges of integration between the diverse interests at work at different spatial and temporal scales are discussed and these are related to the quite different instruments and approaches that are used in practice. It is concluded that more effective processes of analysis and appraisal, through public engagement and multi-disciplinary work, could provide a knowledge base which would foster more integrated strategic development planning and place-making inherently. The renewed focus upon Localism, not just in the UK, presents an opportunity for further innovation and initiative in urban design and the paper reflects upon key opportunities that are emerging for this.

Title: Use of a Systematic Observational Measure to Assess and Compare Walkability for Older Adults in Vancouver, British Columbia and Portland, Oregon Neighbourhoods
Abstract: This study assessed neighbourhood walkability for older adults in eight neighbourhoods of Vancouver, British Columbia and Portland Oregon, utilizing the newly developed environmental audit tool ‘SWEAT-R’. The discrete variable based data are complemented with qualitative observation data. Findings indicate that the audit tool has a 95% or higher inter-rater reliability for more than 80% of the items. Neighbourhood environmental data suggest that neighbourhoods in Vancouver region have more urban design features supportive of walking behaviour. Sidewalk and street life environmental features were relatively similar across all four Portland neighbourhoods, however, there were notable differences in sidewalk characteristics among the four Vancouver neighbourhoods. The audit tool is useful in documenting walkable features in urban and suburban neighbourhoods with particular relevance to older adults’ needs.

Title: Planning for Quality? Assessing the Role of Quality of Place in Current Dutch Planning Practice
Abstract: In recent years, an attractive urban environment has increasingly been recognized as a factor of local competitiveness in a globalizing world. Notably, Richard Florida and Charles Landry have stressed the importance of the concept of quality of place. The implications of their often criticized, but nevertheless widely adhered ideas for current planning practices are, however, not unequivocally clear, especially with regard to large-scale redevelopment areas where notions of quality of place may clash with short-term profits goals. This paper assesses the role of quality of place in current planning practices by examining two projects, the Zuidas in Amsterdam and the Central Station area in Rotterdam. It analyses public and private actors' perceptions of quality of place, the role of quality of place in the complex arenas of decision making, and the respective responsibilities of public and private actors based on an examination of the plans and on a series of interviews with key actors involved in these projects. The expectation that public actors would be crucial, if not alone, in aiming at quality of place issues turns out to be too simple; private sector developers also tend to rely on a long-term perspective that stresses quality of place.

Title: Don't Skate Here: Exclusion of Skateboarders from Urban Civic Spaces in Three Northern Cities in England
Abstract: Skateboarders, who are predominantly young people, inhabit the fabric of urban conurbations in a way that no other group of open space users do. They have been identified as challenging capital norms, cultural forms and having a unique physical relationship with urban form. In city centres they choose to use specific civic spaces which provide opportunities for tricks. In some city centres skateboarders are excluded from using specific civic spaces by a series of social, legal and physical controls. This paper explores these issues in the context of three northern cities in England in order to develop a deeper understanding of the design approaches used to exclude skateboarders. Finally, the paper discusses the relationship between social, legal and physical controls to exclude skateboarders from specific civic spaces in these city centres.

Title: Skate-Park Builds, Teenaphobia and the Adolescent Need for Hang-Out Spaces: The Social Utility and Functionality of Urban Skate Parks
Abstract: This paper details perspectives of skateboarders on the utility and functionality of skate-parks in Western Australia. To this end, skateboarder interview data and skate-park audit data are triangulated in a mixed-method research design. The study's findings reveal that skateboarders believe adults view them as being anti-social deviant youth and their leisure pursuit of skateboarding as an undesirable pastime that requires regulation. Skateboarders also contend that as urban skate-parks double up as youth hang-out spaces, vocal adult opponents of skate-park builds often petition for them to be situated in places that do not offend public sensibilities. It is hypothesized that this social marginalization of skateboarders within the community underpins the current poor provisioning of skateboarding facilities.

Title: Urban Design: Is there a Distinctive View from the Bicycle?
Abstract: Would urban design considerations and practices be different if the experience of bicycling was given a more central place? Drawing on a review of international literature and practice, this paper compares the characteristics of cyclists with those of pedestrians and motorists, showing that cyclists have a substantial number of unique characteristics that warrant further investigation in terms of a special urban design response. Focusing on four issues—community layout, cycling facilities, analysis and design processes, and detailed design—the paper offers a framework and central considerations for cycling-oriented urban design. It concludes with a call to take the experience of cycling seriously in urban design. This involves moving beyond a concern with safe and convenient facilities and complete networks to a more substantial interest in the experience of the environment from a cyclist's point of view.

Title: Historic conservation in rapid urbanization: a case study of the Hankow historic concession area
Abstract:
In rapidly changing Chinese cities, the conflict between conservation and redevelopment appears acute and complex. This paper uses the Hankow historic concession area as case study to examine the evolution in ideology, mechanisms, policy and planning of historic conservation in Wuhan. The findings are based on multiple field visits, semi-structured interviews and a literature review. It explores the roles of various participants who brought these changes, such as local and central governments, state-owned and private enterprises and the public, to provide experiences and lessons for the sustainable development of heritage sites in the future. It argues that historic conservation in China bears significant top-down characteristics. Implementation of laws and regulations regarding historic conservation at the national level, especially the conservation system of historic cities, has played a key role. In this context, local laws, regulations and management systems have been gradually established by local governments who seek the rapid development of the metropolitan areas. However, such a top-down approach has hitherto failed to fully consider the will of local people, and has led to difficulties in implementing historic conservation plans. Meanwhile, excessive government intervention has suppressed the market’s role, thus preventing the full potential of historic conservation and revitalization of historic urban areas.

Title: Conservation and revitalization of historic streets in China: Pingjiang Street, Suzhou
Abstract:
The late twentieth and early twenty-first century has witnessed the unfortunate plight of demolition or irreparable damage for thousands of historic streets across China as a result of urbanization and redevelopment. A core of committed practitioners, academics and enlightened local governments have begun to recognize the important historical legacy of these streets and are undertaking conservation and revitalization projects. In Suzhou, approximately 100 km west of Shanghai, Pingjiang Street/district is an historical urban area that has recently undergone sensitive conservation and become one of the ‘must-see’ places in the city. This paper presents a historical account of the development, demise and resurrection of the houses, streets and waterways of Pingjiang district. The area’s long history can be broadly structured into two critical and dialectical phases: the period of growth and incremental change during the Imperial period, and the pressures for change and development during the twentieth century. The paper will compare the socio-cultural factors that have shaped the layout of houses, streets and waterways and thus the whole street/district during these contrasting periods. These periods of transition will be followed by a critical review and assessment of urban conservation and revitalization of the area under the banner of ‘heritage’.

Title: The artisan economy and post-industrial regeneration in the US
Abstract:
The 2009 Great Recession adversely impacted the post-industrial built landscape in the US. Globalization and international wage inequality also led to the closure and abandonment of numerous historic industrial districts. However, another more positive outcome came from the last economic crisis ‒ the rise of the artisan-based economy, which values highly crafted specialized goods and blends old manufacturing techniques with new digital technologies. Small companies producing high quality products are providing an alternative to American consumption based culture. This paper will present the current state of post-industrial regeneration in the US and discuss how the artisan-based economy is regenerating American post-industrial urban districts.

Title: Multiple approaches to heritage in urban regeneration: the case of City Gate, Valletta
Abstract:
Using heritage resources within local urban regeneration is rarely a simple matter of preserving some structures or relating some historical events and presuming that this will make some contribution to the contemporary objectives of regeneration. Buildings, spaces and historic narratives are not in themselves heritage but they can become it. This paper examines a single case seeking answers to the question, ‘how does heritage happen?’ and specifically explores the variety of ways in which built environmental forms in particular can be treated in order to use heritage to achieve contemporary regeneration objectives.

Title: Revalorizing colonial era architecture and townscape legacies: memory, identity and place-making in Irish towns
Abstract:
Within place-making, heritage is framed not only by professional priorities, but by wider societal values. In contentious political contexts, this is manifested in the way in which townscape is represented in the collected memories that underpin identity conflicts. This paper seeks to contribute to an understanding of these relationships in post-colonial contexts through discourse analysis of interviews in three small towns in Ireland. The paper concludes that although a cultural ambivalence to colonial architectural legacies remains, attitudes have become predominantly inclusive. This shift is substantially underpinned by local collected memories connected with place identity, and has implications for place-making processes.

Title: ‘Evolving’ or ‘lost’ identity of a historic public space? The tale of Gençlik Park in Ankara
Abstract:
This research, focusing on the issue of place identity in historic landscapes of contemporary cities, explores the current identity problem of a historic urban park in Ankara, Gençlik Park, within contextual and evolutionary perspectives. After setting a theoretical framework on the identity of urban space, it analyses systemically the historically specific intersections between Gençlik Park’s identity and the spatial, political, economic and historical contexts of Turkey and Ankara over the past 90 years. It depicts how the Park’s identity has been (re)configured (or has evolved) through different temporalities looking at three metrics of urban identity. It shows that place identity is evolutionary and contextual in character within a space-time continuum.

Title: Design with (human) nature: recovering the creative instrumentality of social data in urban design
Abstract:
In the mid-twentieth century, environmental psychology emerged as a field of significant potential that aimed to methodically decipher the influence of environments on human behaviour. However, by the 1980s innovation slowed, due in part to the limitations of the analogue technologies and techniques of the day that curtailed the field’s wider application to urban design and planning. Across a similar timeframe, ecologically based methods for organizing the urban landscape also waned. However, unlike environmental psychology, ecological planning underwent considerable renewal in the late 1990s. Technology played a significant role, with access to ubiquitous high-resolution satellite imagery and advances in GIS applications ultimately catalyzing the urban design paradigm of landscape urbanism. Although useful, the ecological design framework that came to define landscape urbanism offered only a partial account of urban design. To address this imbalance, this paper considers how a technologically stimulated revitalization of the social side of urban design might mirror the renewal of ecological planning that occurred through digital satellite mapping. After canvassing the role of neuroscience and spatially aware devices in contemporary environmental psychology, the potential influence of drone mapping technology on urban design practice and theory is explored in depth.

Title: Place-making and the London estates: land ownership and the built environment
Abstract:
In inner London many real estate companies own and manage ownership clusters ‒ spatially concentrated property portfolios or landed estates. The literature has framed this feature of the London property market as the renewed interest in the estate model of development. Drawing on empirical research in London, this research examines ownership clusters, exploring their investment and management strategies. Research findings suggest that cluster managers employ a curatorial form of place-making in their relevant neighbourhoods, selecting the mix of uses and users, unit placement, and investing in public space in order to increase footfall, consumer circulation, dwell time and spending to maximize real estate returns.

Title: Bringing design back: resetting liveability of a ‘near but not in the city’ housing environment in Sydney
Abstract:
Using an inner urban area of Sydney city as a case study, the paper puts forward that overall residential satisfaction is related to three sets of factors: objective characteristics of environment, objective characteristics of residents and their subjective perception. Three hypothesized models by regression are tested to empirically examine which of the attributes of the residential environment and of the individual have either a direct or no relationship with overall residential satisfaction. Findings suggest that perceptual response to dwelling design aspects and neighbourhood features along with neighbourliness and objective indicator of age are among the strongest predictors. The discussion contributes to an understanding of the importance of ‘good design’ which to some extent may help to attenuate the potentially adverse effects of higher density living.

Title: Designing multiple urban space: an actor-network theory analysis on multiplicity and stability of public space
Abstract:
This paper suggests an empirical tool to examine the multiple and ever-changing aspects of public space. As an overarching theoretical framework, Actor-Network Theory was applied to identify the different ways of generating multiple user activities in a single built environment. Data on user behaviour were gathered by observations, short interviews and questionnaires from Fortune Street Park and Kingston Ancient Market Place, both in London. The empirical process recognized the constant but discursive performance of public space through the multiple activity networks, and verified that the public spaces have different network strategies to be stabilized according to their own urban context.

Title: Towards evaluation design for smart city development
Abstract:
Smart city developments integrate digital, human and physical systems in the built environment. With growing urbanization and widespread developments, identifying suitable evaluation methodologies is important. Case-study research across five UK cities ‒ Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Milton Keynes and Peterborough ‒ revealed that city evaluation approaches were principally project-focused with city-level evaluation plans at early stages. Key challenges centred on selecting suitable evaluation methodologies to evidence urban value and outcomes, addressing city authority requirements. Recommendations for evaluation design draw on urban studies and measurement frameworks, capitalizing on big data opportunities and developing appropriate, valid, credible integrative approaches across projects, programmes and city-level developments.

Title: The place of public space in the lives of Middle Eastern women migrants in Australia
Abstract:
For Middle Eastern migrants to Australia, the process of acculturation is compounded by Islamophobia, which is on the rise, with many incidents occurring in public spaces and targeting women. Through in-depth interviews, this paper examines how women migrants from the Middle East, especially Muslim ones, are affected. The study finds that Middle Eastern women migrants have a different perspective on public space compared to local populations, and this difference stems from their cultural, political and religious backgrounds. These findings can help cities create inclusive and culturally-sensitive public spaces, which catalyze a ‘sense of belonging’ and ‘sense of place’ among migrants.

Title: Temporary urban intervention in the vertical city: a place-making project to re-activate the public spaces in Hong Kong
Abstract:
This paper describes the effects of Seating for Socializing (SOS), a place-making project designed to revitalize open public spaces in Hong Kong which suffer from a lack of urban life. The study was conducted by combining quantitative and qualitative methods in order to understand the impact of this temporary urban design intervention in different spatial contexts. The results suggest that the use of bottom-up approaches and tactical design actions can be a valuable tool for promoting new social relations among the citizens as well as rethinking existing weaknesses in the conditions of the city’s public spaces.

Title: Automotive retrofits in historic city centres and their potential effects on their walkability: a comparison of San Luis Obispo, CA, USA and Bath, England, UK
Abstract:
Historic districts often contain retrofits to accommodate automotive infrastructure, primarily parking, that can negatively impact walkability. This research examines how various approaches to historic preservation and parking retrofits in two historic central districts (Bath and San Luis Obispo) impact walkability. Case study analysis, planning and historic conservation literature reviews, and walkability indicator observations were conducted for both sites. Results indicate that Bath limits surface parking in its historic core whereas San Luis Obispo has a greater degree of parking retrofits that reduces walkability. Walkability factors were lower for streets containing surface parking that disrupts the relationship between buildings and walkways.

Title: What is urban design? A proposal for a common understanding
Abstract:
The lack of a common understanding of what urban design is about is an issue that needs to be resolved. This paper analyzes some relevant contemporary definitions of urban design. Based on this analysis, it first identifies certain general features of this discipline. Then, it provides a general definition, and finally, it clarifies potential misunderstandings. In this paper, any discussion of what makes good urban design is avoided. The main goal is to provide a reasonable definition that can help to navigate the longstanding indeterminacy of this field.

Title: Unearthing the political: differences, conflicts and power in participatory urban design
Abstract:
This paper aims to advance the development of participation in urban design from a substantive standpoint. It departs from a prevailing focus on ideals of participation and describing participatory methods and processes. Instead, the paper stresses the need to acknowledge ‘the political’ nature of public spaces and how this challenges participatory urban design processes. This leads to a substantive exploration of differences, conflicts and power in the planning and design of public spaces, i.e., unearthing the political. The case of a participatory process in a neighbourhgood of Barcelona illustrates the theoretical discussion. This helps bring forward a much-needed critical and reflective, rather than idealistic, theorization and practice of participation in urban design.

Title: Superkilen: exploring the human–nonhuman relations of intercultural encounter
Abstract:
Superkilen is a much-lauded contemporary urban public space that has been widely photographed and the subject of public talks, articles, interviews, short films, books and awards, including the prestigious Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 2016. Although it was designed to improve social cohesion in the multi-ethnic neighbourhood of Nørrebro, it remains largely unresearched in how well its built form contributes to this goal. This paper provides an empirical examination of how the built form of Superkilen enables and constrains intercultural encounter. The paper begins with an exploration of literature on encounter in public spaces, and the agency of built form in mediating such interactions. The paper then presents three key findings based on ethnographic fieldwork using actor-network theory. This paper is critical of the design concept behind Superkilen, claiming that it privileged spatial representation above spatial practice. However, the findings also show how such encounters can be triangulated, shaped and programmed. It is hoped these findings will better inform urban designers in shaping public space for intercultural encounters in Western cities.

Title: A physical effort-based model for pedestrian movement in topographic urban environments
Abstract:
This paper presents a topography-sensitive cognitive model for analysis and prediction of pedestrian movement in urban settings. Topography affects visibility and therefore the spatial awareness of pedestrians. It also accentuates the role of physical effort during travel and route selection. The existing models fall short in their reference to these issues. A thorough description of the proposed model is followed by a validation - the model was tested against two existing models in three case studies in Haifa and Jerusalem, Israel. The proposed model outperformed the others in the steeper parts of the case studies. Future model development is discussed.

Title: Socializing in the suburbs: relationships between neighbourhood design and social interaction in low-density housing contexts
Abstract:
This study investigates interrelationships between correlates of social interaction, levels of social activity and common neighbourhood design characteristics of low-density suburbs. Qualitative and quantitative methods were combined. Analysis of 247 surveys of residents in three low-density Australian suburbs confirmed interrelationships between levels of social activity, social interaction correlates and five groups of physical characteristics: (1) street layout, (2) pedestrian environment, (3) neighbourhood connectivity, (4) public space provision and (5) dwelling form. After allowing for the effect of socio-demographic and social proclivity selection factors, street type, tree coverage and provision of open space were found to significantly predict Neighbourhood Contentment.

Title: Urban design and public transportation – public spaces, visual proximity and Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)
Abstract:
Walking distances conventionally define service areas for public transportation and urban growth boundaries for Transit-Oriented Development (TOD). Urban designers accordingly draw rings around transit stops and arrange transit-supportive land uses within 10-minute walksheds. This approach to TOD neglects processes of creating public spaces in visual proximity of transit stops. This paper proposes a methodology to analyze public spaces and looks at how commercialization and public space patterns unfold through viewsheds around transit stops. The results reveal amoebic TOD patterns of public spaces that are much smaller than conventional walking radii. This alternative viewshed approach can be helpful in designing TODs.

Title: Urban design quality and walkability: an audit of suburban high streets in an Australian city
Abstract:
If well planned and designed, suburban high streets can fulfil important economic functions and carry social significance, in addition to allowing for the passage of traffic. However, in newer cities which have been built around the automobile, suburban high streets have struggled to attract and retain customers. This study quantitatively assesses the design quality of suburban high streets in Brisbane, Australia, employing an existing framework. The results suggest that a lack of vitality and walkability in Brisbane’s suburban high streets is due to their low urban design quality.

Title: What is a healthy place? Models for cities and neighbourhoods
Abstract:
What is a healthy place? Focusing on the scale of the neighbourhood and city, this paper outlines six overlapping types of environments that chart the range of current thinking: healthy built environments, collaborative healthy cities, age-friendly/all-age communities, child-friendly communities, healthcare industrial cities, and smart health environments. The first three are based on a public health perspective and the fourth on child development concepts, with a comprehensive view. The last two deal mainly with the economy, personal information, and behaviour. If combined with the others, however, they might increase public interest and aid health monitoring and evaluation.

Title: Validating a comprehensive plan scoring system for healthy community design in League City, Texas
Abstract:
Comprehensive plans provide an overall vision for a city’s land use and development and influence community health conditions. As part of a community-engaged research project, a Healthy Living and Active Design Scorecard was applied to the comprehensive plan of League City, Texas, to identify health-promoting design and planning strategies. Although the plan scored similarly to published examples, several areas of improvement aligned with priorities from a community health assessment were identified, including improving public transportation and access to exercise and recreation. Future revisions of the plans and neighbourhood scaled designs targeting these issues could improve the health of the community.

Title: The effects of New Urbanism on public health
Abstract:
This paper investigates how the 10 New Urbanism principles produce outcomes that affect public health. The outcomes include: (1) higher usage of non-motorized and public transit modes, which results in more physical activity; (2) lower usage of private automobiles, which results in less air pollution; (3) safer streets, which results in fewer traffic accidents; and (4) complete community planning for residents, regardless of income, age or ideas, which results in better access to health resources. These results improve public health. This study also applies several walkability and connectivity indicators and suggests their use in cities to maximally accrue public-health benefits.

Title: Suburban shopping malls as spaces for community health and human flourishing: an Aotearoa New Zealand case study
Abstract:
This paper examines the role of semi-public spaces (in this case shopping malls) in Aotearoa New Zealand suburbs as potential sites of health and human flourishing. It evaluates two declining malls in Wellington – Johnsonville and Wainuiomata – through interviews and focus groups. The research found that these malls had played, and continue to play, an important role as spaces for social engagement in ad-hoc, but significant ways. Despite this, the community felt unable to participate in design decisions due to their being in private ownership. This paper critiques dominant conceptualizations of public and private spaces and articulate implications for urban design decision-making in support of vital suburban community space.

Title: Challenging the visual: learning from the mobility narratives of visually impaired persons
Abstract:
Urban designers and place-makers must question their understanding of universal design and its role in supporting UK citizens living with sight loss. The mobility narratives of visually impaired (VI) adults are used to unpack their strategies for navigating the urban realm, from recognition of shared issues and confidence to familiarity with routes and services. In conclusion, place-makers can adopt three practices: being more willing and reflexive practitioners – gaining from first-hand experiences; understanding the role of planning and design education; and considering the interface between the mobility needs of visually impaired people and new city strategies promoting green travel.

Title: Well-being age and space
Abstract:
Well-being is related not only to physical health but also to many other factors about our living environments. Most of these factors change during our lifespan. Although most research about general well-being and age discuss that our level of well-being does not change significantly during our lifespan, we cannot neglect the changes in our physical and mental relation to space with ageing. This study aims to explore the relationship between subjective well-being, age, culture and living environments through case studies conducted in two different cultural contexts, Italy and Turkey.

Title: Generating applicable urban design knowledge
Abstract:
This article explores how the combination of research approaches in Research Through Design (RTD) can contribute to generating applicable urban design knowledge. The article is based on learnings from the ‘Really cooling water bodies in cities’ project, a pragmatist RTD combining post-positivist, constructivist and transformative/participatory approaches along six design iterations. The results indicate that the combination of research approaches in RTD can contribute to generating applicable urban design knowledge when the approaches are carefully chosen and combined as to provide feedback on each other, based on a coherent rationale driven by clear research questions and goals.

Title: Encounters with a future past: navigating the shifting urban atmospheres of place
Abstract:
There has been recent concern about the destabilizing influence of individuals’ everyday encounters with managed atmospheres. This paper draws on autoethnographic data, information relating to the physical fabric, and narratives from stakeholders involved with the design and management of the Eastside area of Birmingham, UK, to demonstrate how urban atmospheres are also shaped by shifting temporal dynamics, the area’s historical, cultural and regulatory context, and the prior experiences individuals bring to spaces undergoing regeneration. The paper concludes by suggesting that this analysis has much to offer to designers, educators and stakeholders involved with improving the design and management of place.

Title: Assessing a simplified procedure to reconcile distributed renewable and interactive energy systems and urban patterns. The case study of school buildings in Rome
Abstract:
Distributed, Renewable and Interactive energy Systems (DRIs) are revolutionizing the concept of infrastructure by introducing a set of new properties. The implications of the new system properties in the realm of Urban Design are often neglected. This paper proposes a procedure to reconcile DRIs and urban patterns. This procedure is tested on 23 school buildings in four urban regions of the Ostiense district in Rome. Findings suggest that the identification of existing buildings as active, neutral and passive nodes in DRIs can make a contribution to Urban Design decisions to exploit the renewable energy production capacity inherent in urban patterns.

Title: Designing the Latina landscape: graphic images of Italian Fascism
Abstract:
The Latina Province in Italy is synonymous with Italian Fascism. This connection is manifest in the different design perspectives that contributed to the formation of the region’s visual character during the 21 years of Fascist rule between 1922–43. Corporativist urbanism framed how Fascism’s stories, myths and fables were told through numerous graphic objects that embellished new towns during the region’s reclamation. Through the lens of graphic design as urban design, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of how the Latina landscape was conceived, planned and made at the macro, meso and micro scale.

Title: An approach to perception mapping: using maps to investigate local user perceptions of urban quality in Hillevåg, Norway
Abstract:
Spatial analyses map physical, geographic, demographic and functional characteristics of a place, while socio-cultural analyses investigate local social constructs. While the first might lack information on social, cultural and personal perceptions, the latter rarely relates needs or perceptions to the physical environment. This paper discusses the theoretical and methodological aspects of using subjective maps to collect user input and its value for further development. Map-based semi-structured interviews with local users were conducted in a mixed-use neighbourhood in Stavanger, Norway. The maps geo-reference points of strength, weakness, paths, barriers and representative space. The results were coherent with findings from other methods.

Title: Hidden in the most visible place: measuring visual accessibility and social performance of urban kiosks
Abstract:
How do street kiosks, a prominent example of ‘human-scale urban form’, generate new public space and encourage social encounters? To answer this question, this study applies an integrative methodology, combining (1) quantitative visibility analysis with (2) qualitative ethnographic fieldwork. Analyzing kiosks’ visibility allows distinguishing between the effect of search in familiar and in novel environments. The modes in which kiosks are used are traced, revealing that both commercial and non-commercial modes are maximized in places with higher visual integration. Further, the study unexpectedly discovers frequent illegitimate uses in places with a higher degree of visibility, despite higher surveillance and supervision.

Title: Indigenous placemaking and the built environment: toward transformative urban design
Abstract:
This paper examines how the design and programming of the built environment of settler cities have contributed to the invisibility of Indigenous peoples and minimizing their cultural influence. It seeks to address gaps in the academic literature on Indigenous placemaking and urban design. Indigenous placemaking has the capacity to create positive symbolic capital associated with Indigenous peoples, empowering urban inhabitants in their cultural representation, and advancing the project of truth and reconciliation. To transcend beyond tokenism, Indigenous cultures projected in built form should not be subordinated by settler mainstream decision-making frameworks.

Title: Why cities need to take road space from cars - and how this could be done
Abstract:
Cities need to become more liveable. Urban transport systems have great importance in achieving this goal. Currently, cities are dominated by individual motorized transport with associated problems of air pollution, congestion, noise and traffic injuries. This paper argues that the redistribution of space is key in achieving modal split change and the greening of urban environments. It holds that taking road space from cars is justified from social, health, environmental and economic viewpoints. Yet, any change in urban transport cultures has to consider the automobile, which has instrumental as well as symbolic and affective functions. City planners are advised never to argue against the car, and to frame change in ways that reduces resistance by drivers and automotive lobbies.

Title: The art of inclusion: phenomenology, placemaking and the role of the arts
Abstract:
This paper extends emerging research on the role of the arts in placemaking by introducing readers to the theories of Hannah Arendt. Specifically, it outlines the value of an Arendtian phenomenological framework for conceiving why, how and in what ways ‘inclusion’ could and should operate in placemaking. The paper first presents an outline of Arendt’s phenomenological approach. An exploratory case study of arts activities in a rural Irish town is then employed to illustrate the explanatory potential of this approach. The paper closes by reflecting on how an Arendtian approach suggests important lessons for placemaking research and practice.

Title: Quantifying Jacobs’ notion of ‘eyes upon the street’ in 3-dimensions
Abstract:
This study used georeferenced data and technologies to develop a technique for quantifying natural surveillance characteristics of building openings in 3-dimensions. The natural surveillance model accounted for the specification of observer and target points (occupant and road surveillability), architectural and landscape features, and eyewitness identification distance. Occupant and road surveillability measured surveillability of building openings as seen by neighbours and from roads, respectively. Yard vegetation had a significant impact on reducing occupant surveillability. Solid fencing had a significant effect on the reduction of road surveillability. This technique may be used to expand the study of natural surveillance in urban environments.

Title: Assessment of pedestrians’ travel experience at the religious city of Puri using structural equation modelling
Abstract:
Puri, one of the most sacred sites for Hindus in India, is visited by millions of tourists every year. This paper evaluates the travel experience of pedestrians in Puri. A total of 500 respondents were asked to rate different microscale factors on a five-point Likert scale (1 = very poor and 5 = very good). Received data were analysed using structural equation modelling, which formed four latent constructs such as accessibility, safety, comfort and aesthetics. The results show that pedestrians in Puri are most dissatisfied with the factors related to the comfort construct, followed by accessibility, safety and aesthetics, respectively.

Title: The challenge of opening up gated communities in Shanghai
Abstract:
The Chinese government has recently issued a directive that calls for an end to gated communities. The aim is to halt the construction of new gated communities, and gradually open existing gated communities to the public. This paper examines the challenges of implementing the new directive in Shanghai, where more than 80% of residential communities are gated. The study reveals five types of challenges: (1) site redesign; (2) urban governance; (3) social frictions; (4) legal status; and (5) financial burden. While redesign is a more straightforward, albeit onerous, task, smoothing governance, social, legal, and financial tensions is a greater challenge.

Title: Rethinking design studios as an integrative multi-layered collaboration environment
Abstract:
This paper discusses experimental studios within an incremental collaboration framework to better understand the opportunities of peer‐to‐peer learning and student collaboration. Using qualitative methods including observation, interviews, peer-evaluations, and descriptive assessments of student work, the study revealed that collaboration can lead to both progression and regression in overall learning processes depending on the approach (mandatory/self-directed), group composition, and how students arrive at common decisions. The findings suggest that a strategically designed studio structure combined with multiple, diversified collaboration strategies are essential to give students successful learning experiences in both explicit and tacit forms.

Title: Urban opportunities and conflicts around street musicians: the relationship between the configuration of public space and outdoor acoustics in Ciutat Vella, Barcelona
Abstract:
The practice of busking and street music performance is becoming key to the identity of cities. However, although the spatial configuration and acoustics of historic city centres are interrelated, few rigorous studies have been undertaken on this area. The paper presents the results of a quantitative and comparative analysis of the space syntax configuration and on-site sound recordings in four main open environments within the inner core of Barcelona. The aim of this work is to highlight the conflict points between outdoor acoustics and movement flows in order to inform future designs and management of those public spaces.

Title: Traffic-derived noise, air pollution and urban park design
Abstract:
Parks provide a range of ecosystem services and make major contributions to urban life. Improved environmental quality was observed in urban parks as pollutants and noise disperse. Numerical models were used to assess the role of various design elements in air pollution and noise attenuation in parks. The walls reduced pollutants and sound noticeably in its shadow. Dense conifers can trap pollutants in park borders and lower concentrations in interiors, but less efficient in noise reduction. A study of a design for a small urban park suggests principles for achieving lower user exposure to pollution and healthier park environment.

Title: Listening to Japanese gardens II: expanding the soundscape action design tool
Abstract:
Tools for soundscape design have tended to focus on noise-exposed situations like urban parks and squares. Less attention has been given to multisensory interaction, movement, and other phenomenological aspects. This paper addresses the gap by studying the Japanese garden tradition, where such issues have been given high priority. The paper is the second of two reporting on autoethnographic field studies carried out in 88 Japanese gardens. Ten new Soundscape Actions are introduced and discussed in relation to previous research. Conclusively, the paper addresses the potential for future applications and developments of the tool.

Title: On the relationship between land use and sound sources in the urban environment
Abstract:
The purpose of this case study was to explore the relationship between land use and sound sources and how to characterize urban environments in this respect. To this end, binaural recordings and 360° videos were used in a listening experiment, where 20 university students assessed the dominance of sound sources coupled with the appropriateness of land use variables and variables of social and recreational activities. Principal Components Analysis showed that the activity-based environment can be explained by two main components related to the degree of manmade features and the density of people. These components are closely associated with sounds.

Title: Sounds in the city: bridging the gaps from research to practice through soundscape workshops
Abstract:
Sound has been relatively underrepresented in urban design considerations, especially the positive aspects of sound. Yet, a vast body of academic literature on urban soundscape could inform professionals. We report on workshops with iterative improvements, designed to bring soundscape research to practice. The two workshops were conducted as part of the Sounds in the City partnership, in collaboration with the City of Montreal. Different workshop formats are compared, and recommendations are furnished both in terms of promoting awareness of the role of urban sound and with the intent of informing similar knowledge mobilization activities for researchers in related environmental fields.

Title: The new proxemics: COVID-19, social distancing, and sociable space
Abstract:
Social distancing measures during COVID-19 have altered the use of space. With the closure of places of work, learning, leisure, consumption, and more, the pandemic has limited our territories and public life. Yet, residents living in mid- to low-density places are experiencing their neighbourhoods differently. They are repurposing residential streets, sidewalks, parking lots, and other spaces and transforming neighbourhood space for active living, play, and sociability. In many neighbourhoods, social distancing is generating a new sociable space. Can we build on our ingenuity to reclaim neighbourhood spaces for public life, and the physical and psychological health of our communities?

Title: Implementing the Supermanzana approach in Barcelona. Critical issues at local and urban level
Abstract:
To improve neighbourhood liveability and urban sustainability, Barcelona is seeking to re-organize its urban structure into superblocks, designed to discourage cut-through traffic and promote multiple uses of street space. Despite its potential, this approach is not without its limits, that should be properly taken into account. The implementation of the Supermanzana model in the Poblenou neighbourhood is explored in this paper to analyse its potentialities and constraints. Temporal synchronization between the urban level and the neighbourhood level turns out to be particularly important to reduce conflicts and criticalities.

Title: Diversity in urban design and neighbourhood resilience in response to the Great Recession
Abstract:
This research explores how the lack of diversity in newly constructed, mass produced, cookie-cutter type neighbourhoods affected trajectories in response to the Great Recession. Results suggest that design characteristics influenced home sales prices over time and post-Recession, but not when initially sold. Homes in more resilient neighbourhoods have greater façade variation, access to nearby amenities, and open spaces than the non-resilient, but much less proximity to transit. The building in, i.e. what developers are providing and what municipalities are approving, of diversity in design of homes and neighbourhoods through better zoning codes contributed to positive outcomes and increased neighbourhood resilience.

Title: Do perceptions of neighbourhood change match objective reality?
Abstract:
This study analyses neighbourhood change, its impact on the character of Soho, and to what extent perceptions of change match objective reality. Focusing on three streets (Berwick, Old Compton and Wardour Streets), the research (2008–2018) compares objective evidence of ground floor uses with the perceptions of people living and working in Soho. There was a close match between perceptions and objective measures of change on 4 out of 7 indicators: type of use, business name, locality and business ethnicity. The paper discusses these changes in terms of commercial gentrification that threatens Soho’s character.

Title: Reading the urban socio-spatial network through space syntax and geo-tagged Twitter data
Abstract:
This research examines the predictability of geo-tagged Twitter data via space syntax integration measurement using geographic information system (GIS). Mobile networking mediums are an emergent part of everyday life in the city. In light of this, research on cities needs to take into account these new data sources. The study was conducted in two Cypriot cities, Famagusta and Kyrenia, and the result shows the significance of local accessibility in predicting Twitter data in both cases. The outcome also suggests the critical importance of investigating the outliers in the dataset because they might clarify hidden potentials of urban spaces.

Title: Emergence of sub-optimal land utilization patterns in Indian cities
Abstract:
This paper examines the urban morphology of Ahmedabad, a large and rapidly growing Indian city, to determine land utilization efficiency. It provides a nuanced understanding of land consumption patterns in public and private domains, and how sub-optimal land development patterns emerge. Urban form parameters analysed include public streets, building footprints, and public and private open spaces. The results show that land utilization is sub-optimal, with less land available under public domain and more land consumed as private open spaces (especially as margins and setbacks) leading to excessive fragmentation. Indian cities should rationalize their development regulations to improve land utilization outcomes.

Title: Territorial implications of criminality and religiosity in Caracas’s barrios
Abstract:
In Caracas’s barrios, criminal and religious activities accompanied by flexible community dynamics influence residents’ social construction of their territory. This article presents how these activities continuously reshape conceptualizations: the public, private, community and spatial boundaries of barrios. By applying a qualitative approach to interpreting participants’ perspectives, the relationship between criminality and religiosity, and their link to territory are analysed. The study shows that criminal gangs privatize barrio public spaces, and that through Catholic processions those spaces become public again, thus demonstrating the temporality and flexibility of the public-private and territorial conceptions.

Title: Landscape urbanism and informal space-making: insights from a guerrilla gardening case in Montreal, Canada
Abstract:
The present article follows the inception and the development of an unauthorized community garden that emerged out of a re-appropriated composting site in a municipal park in Montreal, Canada. The article identifies the principal reasons and mechanisms that account for how the guerrilla garden was able to remain in a high-profile location for a period of time. The article explores the intertwined combination of the guerrilla garden and the spaces it affected vis-à-vis landscape urbanism and its pursuit of a new urban development paradigm.

Title: The design of Lincoln Center: from forbidding to inviting
Abstract:
In 1956 Lincoln Center became the centrepiece of a large urban renewal project in New York City. In its original design, this cultural complex resembled a fortress, being disconnected from the surrounding neighbourhood and offering people few reasons to spend time in its spacious outdoor public space. In the 2000s, its site plan was changed, making it a more inviting place. This paper presents the history of Lincoln Center and reveals similarities with the design trajectories of five other cultural or governmental complexes in the U.S. Information is taken from archival sources, interviews with administrators from Lincoln Center, and observations.

The work argues that one way to deploy urban design projects that consider the fears of displacement in gentrifying neighbourhoods is to integrate what aspects of the neighbourhood existing community actors value and promote advocacy for a future that these participants envision. The project accomplished these goals through ‘communication asset mapping’, an application centring on communicative spaces that are of value to existing communities and help to create the capacity for positive social change in the built environment.

Title: The spatial impact of train stations on small and medium-sized European cities and their contemporary urban design challenges
Abstract:
After a decade marked by the renewal of grand European high-speed railway stations, today, a second wave of station renewal is at hand. This paper argues the importance of the train station in the historical development of smaller cities. Based on comparative research of recent best practices, the contemporary urban design challenges of smaller and medium-sized stations are explored. The paper concludes that the station is no longer shaped as a monolithic, architectural cathedral, as for the grand stations, but interweaves the world of the passer-by with that of the local inhabitant as a system of public infrastructure and facilities.

Title: Supplemental safety? Exploring experienced safety in relation to other qualities of successful public spaces
Abstract:
Combining insights from the urban design and criminological literature, this paper explores the degree to which conviviality, feeling welcome, and feeling at home are related to peoples’ experiences of safety. A questionnaire was distributed on four squares in the city of Utrecht, the Netherlands. While participants valued the positive qualities of the squares differently, feeling safe was connected to a wider, positive evaluation of the quality of space and especially to feeling at home. By investing primarily in public spaces that are ‘homely’ or ‘domesticated’, a ‘supplemental safety’ might therefore be nurtured. This poses important insights for safety management.

Title: Design guidelines for wieldier discretionary review: evidence from Portland
Abstract:
The use of design guidelines in development control continues to be popular, especially when regulators seek to limit the scope of discretionary latitude. However, the question of how a guidelines framework can be designed to suit the time-constrained and deliberative nature of review hearings remains unaddressed. Using evidence from Portland, this study concludes that boards and staff work around these difficulties by using guidelines in combination, and in so doing almost always undermine their intent. The paper suggests how predefined roadmaps to articulate and combine guideline use can make the process wieldier.

Title: The transformative role of rivers in the evolution of urban landscapes: a case study from urban rivers of Chelmsford in Essex
Abstract:
Urban rivers across Europe have a long history of anthropogenic intervention and active use that make up a key part of our cultural landscapes. This article focuses on the morphological transformation processes of urban rivers in Europe. It approaches the topic through a review of the function, meaning and identity of rivers within the urban context. This is illustrated here using the case study of the urban sections of the rivers Chelmer and Can in Chelmsford, Essex, tracing the formation and transformation of their urban character and identifying the determinants of the development of Chelmsford’s urban form over time.

Title: Crafting a planning issue with citizens in the context of planning competition: a case of ‘Nordic Superblock’
Abstract:
This paper describes the formation of the planning issue ‘Nordic Superblock’ through the early planning phase of the Hiedanranta area in Tampere, Finland. The workshops with citizens and professionals as participants, held after a planning competition, were an important part of the area’s initial planning. The paper argues that the superblock issue emerged because the institutional context differed from the traditional zoning process. Furthermore, the issue itself challenged the traditional planning process and the current urban development regime. The case is a promising example of the outcome of expert–citizen interaction; however, it also reveals some bottlenecks in the planning process.

Title: Shared mobility and urban form impacts: a case study of peer-to-peer (P2P) carsharing in the US
Abstract:
This paper advances the understanding of peer-to-peer (P2P) carsharing within the broader context of shared mobility and its connection to the built environment in the US through a survey conducted in 2014 (n = 1,151). Eleven per cent of respondents used carpooling/ridesharing more, and 19% avoided a vehicle purchase due to P2P vehicle access in urban areas. Nevertheless, P2P carsharing has the potential to operate in a range of land-use environments and could be an important strategy to further deemphasize car ownership. Additionally, as the deployment of automated vehicles (AVs) is examined, sharing of privately owned AVs could mirror current P2P carsharing dynamics in important ways.

Title: What’s in store: prospects and challenges for American street-level commerce
Abstract:
This paper surveys dynamics and trends that have influenced and continue to influence the three key tenants of American urban storefronts: retailers, food services, and personal services. By connecting academic literature, economic statistics, and real estate and marketing industry reports, the article outlines what these three street-level industries can expect in the foreseeable future. E-commerce, the experience economy, the Maker Economy, and regulatory, cultural and demographic shifts will have a profound impact on American urban storefronts – but certainly not always a negative one. Urban designers have a key role in ensuring vibrant, inclusive and resilient commercial streets.

Title: Commentary: what are the implications of autonomous vehicles for urban design practice?
Abstract:
The widespread deployment of autonomous vehicles over the coming decades will create challenges and opportunities for the urban design profession. The secondary impacts of this disruptive new technology will be positive, negative, or both, depending upon variables such as power source (electric vs. fossil fuel), ownership (fleet vs. private), and ridership (shared vs. individual). Urban design practitioners should develop and test new approaches and prototypes to address effects on the physical environment, work with allied professionals and decision-makers to advance policies that will produce better built form outcomes, and consider the impacts of urban design decisions on larger societal issues.

Title: The urban development and heritage conundrum: the challenges of heritage conservation in the hill-station of Darjeeling
Abstract:
The colonial hill station of Darjeeling, in the post-independence scenario, has experienced immense urban transformation due to explosive population growth and increased tourism activities, damaging the urban character and built heritage of the town. Adaptation and implementation of the Heritage Urban Landscape approach are hindered by the town’s peculiar socio-political complications and economic limitations. The paper examines the case by analysing the narratives of 50 residents. The findings emphasize the need to manage urban development through a Master Plan, highlight the socio-cultural and economic significance of built heritage and suggests a coordinated approach to capitalize heritage for its sustained protection.

Title: The importance of place-based narrative in suburban forest planning
Abstract:
Urban forests provide numerous benefits to human health and wellbeing, the local urban environment and biodiversity. Despite this, many suburban areas are experiencing declining urban forests due to urban consolidation. In response, this paper proposes scenarios for improving canopy coverage using an Australian middle ring suburb as a case study. The paper employs a Delphi method assessment of the scenarios regarding their benefits and feasibility. The paper concludes that while experts focus on the technical dimensions of urban forest planning, planners should ensure that urban forest plans embody a place-based narrative that captures the public imagination and engenders stewardship.

Title: Employing Participatory Risk Mapping (PRM) as a land-use planning method: the case of a derelict former hospital in Laredo, Texas, USA
Abstract:
Participatory methods that are structured, equitably collected, and produce analysable data offer improvement to the often predetermined and hierarchical land-use planning process. Participatory Risk Mapping (PRM), was used to garner feedback on potential land uses and current concerns regarding an abandoned hospital property in Laredo, Texas, USA by interviewing 496 participants who live within view of the former hospital. Overall, PRM is an efficient and systematic approach to including key stakeholders into sustainable and equitable urban land-use planning.

Title: Mapping the ‘beat’: the urban morphologies of Melbourne’s evolving live music clusters
Abstract:
This paper explores how morphological conditions have mediated the evolution of live music venues in Melbourne. Three inner-city creative milieus have been selected in which the frequency of live music gigs shows different patterns of change: emergence, resilience and decline. The urban DMA—density, mix, access—of the study areas was mapped, as the synergies between these attributes have been linked to the emerging ‘atmosphere’ of creative places. The findings indicate that low residential density pockets within higher density neighbourhoods, mix of public–private interfaces including blank walls, fine grain, functional mix and permeability are key enablers of music clusters.

Title: Before-and-after analysis of property value around SunRail stations in Orlando, FL
Abstract:
This study explored the changes in housing values before-and-after the several stages of transit investments of SunRail stations in Orlando, FL by using a pre-post and intervention-control design. During the construction period, most of the stations showed no statistically significant differences in housing value changes. For the operation period, houses in the 1-mile buffers around stations displayed lower value increases than those in the adjacent 1-2-mile areas by $9,254, $4,034, and $9,009, respectively. These economic effects have informed urban and transportation planners to consider the locational contexts of transit stations and formulate relevant policies to stabilize the real estate market.

Title: Revealing distinguishing factors between Space and Place in urban design literature
Abstract:
This article reviewed the normative distinguishing factors of ‘space’ and ‘place’ when associated with particular descriptions. A content analysis of 23 books revealed several distinguishing factors, and a systematic review of the SciVal and SCImago databases identified nine relevant journals. A scoping review of 26 articles in these journals found three disciplines that distinguished ‘place’ from ‘space’; however, when there were descriptive words before either of them, the distinguishing factors were equivocal. The article argues that a focused effort on urban studies is required, and urban toolkits are relevant resources in that effort.

Title: Rethinking legibility in the era of digital mobile maps: an empirical study
Abstract:
This paper examines the role of environmental legibility in an era where digital mobile maps guide many everyday journeys. This paper presents data from a real-world navigational experiment, where participants followed urban routes either by using digital maps, or information in the world around them. They then completed an in-field task that probed recognition for environmental features along the routes. As predicted, participants in the digital map group demonstrated poorer memory for elements that underlie legibility, across landmarks, paths, and nodes. However, recognition in this group was moderated by individual characteristics of these elements, suggesting a role for legibility in memory. The paper discusses the implications of these results for the design of urban environments that can militate against varied navigational experiences.

Title: Multiple functions of drawings
Abstract:
In the twentieth century, the functions of written or spoken language were extensively studied. The functions of drawings were studied less. This was largely due to a kind of ‘verbal-centrism’ that dominated the general discussions on the mechanisms of interaction and communication. This article explores the various possible functions of drawings, focusing on architecture, urban design and planning. It initially attempts to build a typology of the different functions of drawing and, later, to discuss relevant aspects such as the relationship of each function with reality. The article concludes by dwelling on the theoretical and practical importance of this approach.

Title: Connectivity of public open space: its meaning for different functions
Abstract:
Melbourne, Australia’s fastest growing city, developed more rapidly to its south and east than to the north and west. This presents planning challenges where differences in the meaning of connectivity have emerged. To the north and west, there are demands to subdivide undeveloped land for housing, but there are also demands for connected public open space (POS). This paper defines connectivity in relation to its function and measured unimpeded connected POS for travel by foot, wheelchair, skateboard, scooter, rollerblades or bicycle. Distances ranged from 0.5 to 20 km. Connectivity was measured as distance travelled without retracing the course in the same direction.

Title: Project Ashdod: exhibition structure as a reflection of urban environment
Abstract:
Informed by pioneering urban sociologist Robert Park, this study proposes a new layer of investigation of urban practices: the analysis of art projects. The unique story of Ashdod, a coastal city in Israel’s southern periphery, made it a fascinating case study for Project Ashdod, a multiscale art intervention. Ashdod, Israel’s first planned city, was moulded as an immigrant’s city, leading to its current segregated structure, with districts differing along ethnic and socioeconomic lines. Combining urban spatial methods with art content analysis, the article explores the different ways in which Project Ashdod reflects its titular city according to Park’s terminology.

Title: Nationalism and urban design: the parliament houses of Canberra and Bangkok
Abstract:
Both Canberra and Bangkok have in recent times invoked design competitions to initiate new Parliament buildings. The Canberra case was in a tradition of open international competition, that of Bangkok limited to Thai architects, with both bringing ‘the nation’ into deliberation. In each, the design needed to negotiate an established urban landscape: in Canberra an urban design of axial set-pieces, formal and geometric, of largely US derivation; in Bangkok, a less ordered urban landscape, organically evolved over centuries. The resulting urban design complexes raise questions of how the idea of the nation is to be represented in urban space.

Title: The complete path effect model of the three-dimensional street environment on street usage time
Abstract:
Related studies evaluate street vitality by the number of pedestrians. However, street vitality has various forms of manifestation. It is difficult to achieve accurate quantification with a single index, and it is unable to refine the complete impact path of environmental factors. In order to solve the problem, this paper introduces a new street vitality standard (street usage time). Through a structural equation model, the complete path-impact model was built around three-dimensional street environmental elements, four pedestrian activities and street usage time. The model determines the specific and continuous influence path, direction and value among the three aspects.

Title: Delivering medium-density infill development through promoting the benefits and limiting background infill
Abstract:
Australian cities rarely meet their targets for infill development and experience a ‘missing middle’ in terms of urban density. This paper surveys the barriers to medium-density projects on infill sites in the Western Australian city of Perth and subsequently ventures strategies to alleviate these impediments. The findings indicate that the principal barriers to medium-density infill derive from poor quality low-density infill development, which alienates communities and dissipates the impetus developers require to deliver medium-density projects. The paper concludes that spatial planners should improve strategies for promoting the benefits of density, as well as set minimum residential densities, and site areas, for infill development.

Title: Placelessness of urban design and industrial branding in small town planning
Abstract:
The paper analyses placemaking in a small Finnish single-industry town through two architectural projects: the municipality’s downtown rejuvenation plan and the new visitor centre of a transnational corporation. It deploys Relph’s concept of placelessness interpreting it relationally with the concept of assemblage, and analyses how the two projects resonate with the place’s material and expressive elements. They represent high-quality architecture but embody placelessness: the visitor centre is physically detached from the town, and the downtown plan neglects industrial heritage. This is a missed opportunity for attractive place-making, and shows an urge for novel public-private collaboration in small town urban design.

Title: The role of residential suburbs in the knowledge economy: insights from a design charrette into nomadic and remote work practices
Abstract:
New digital and remote work practices challenge city planning and urban design as they move economic activities from city centres to residential suburbs. Little is known about the spatial impact of these new work patterns on suburbia. This paper addresses this knowledge gap through a design charrette conducted in the City of Gold Coast, Australia. Despite often working individually, remote workers favour design interventions that facilitate a transformation of suburbia towards multi-use. Urban design strategies supporting new work practices in residential neighbourhoods can enable better collaboration and innovation, create new opportunities for third spaces, and unlock a city’s competitive advantage.

Title: Mapping as a strategic tool for evidencing social values and supporting joined-up decision making in Reading, England
Abstract:
Social value is high on policy agendas in the UK but there is little agreement on the definition of social value in the context of the built environment or on how the gathering of social value data might be spatialized. This paper gives an account of a project at the University of Reading, the aim of which was to develop a pragmatic methodology for collecting social value data with local communities. In response to rich information collected through workshops, a practice-based approach was taken, whereby 14 handmade community maps were drawn digitally, following a consistent set of drawing rules. The resultant multi-layered vector maps gathered and collated different interpretations of value and converted them into an accessible visual format. This supported dissemination, feedback and visual analysis with both participants and the Local Authority. In turn, the research sought to position mapping as a strategic tool for revealing common values and communicating potential in the built environment, with the aim of developing value-based knowledge particularly useful to early design, and decision-making, processes around strategic land management.

Title: Ugly and uglier: defining value and politics in architecture
Abstract:
This article seeks to broaden theoretical and methodological approaches to urban aesthetics by introducing the sociology of (e)valuation and Q-sort methodology. In explaining which elements of urban design matter and to whom, existing research deploys concepts such as cultural capital and taste. The article proposes an alternative perspective, which focuses on individuals’ critical capacities to judge and qualify the built environment. The analysis shifts focus from studying taste to studying valuation. The findings expand the idea of aesthetic value as something not divorced from social order, but rather reflective of its complexity.

Title: Democratizing design: possibilities for Detroit’s community benefits ordinance
Abstract:
The scholarship on participatory design has indicated continued struggles to develop processes that genuinely include citizen feedback in an inclusive manner. This paper explores whether Detroit’s Community Benefits Ordinance, that has allowed for residents to negotiate community benefits like parks, public spaces and streetscape improvements is a possible avenue for improved participatory design. This research shows that the Ordinance allowed for citizens to negotiate benefits related to the built environment, accounting for about one third of benefits won. However, there are significant barriers towards the Ordinance providing a transparent, non-elitist, and non-tokenistic environment for citizen participation in urban design.

Title: Analysing the relationship between POI density and stimulus complexity in the urban environment
Abstract:
The complexity of an environment is an important factor related to the quality of urban life, as it affects perception. Existing methods for estimating complexity from images or field visits are helpful but difficult to apply when the area of interest is large. This study identifies alternative ways of estimating the complexity of an environment, by analysing the density of Points of Interest (POI) of an area and using it as an indicator of mixed land use. Two case studies are explored, and spatial regression models are employed to test the association between POI density and complexity, and its predictors.

Title: Privatized public space in Johannesburg and Nairobi: unexpected opportunities for sociability in highly segregated cities
Abstract:
Public spaces in the historic cores of Johannesburg and Nairobi are currently being reshaped by informality, neoliberal spatial practices, and fear. Historically, colonialism and apartheid denied the ‘publicness’ of such spaces. Critics lament that post-democratization privatization exacerbates urban fragmentation. Others highlight the failures of government to provide and maintain public space. This study reveals a tangled spectrum of user perceptions which this article captures through visualizing the ‘urban motif’. The findings suggest that the pluralization of public space management offers unexpected opportunities to foster arenas for multifarious forms of sociability in otherwise highly segregated cities.

Title: Decolonizing Public Space in South Africa: from conceptualization to actualization
Abstract:
Cities and public spaces are changing. Many movements such as ‘Black Lives Matter’ are questioning the meaning of public space in post-colonial contexts. This paper focusses on the decolonization of public space in South Africa as a strategy to achieve spatial transformation. Drawing from seven years of in-depth research, the discussion explores the concept of decolonization and proposes a 3-stage process for decolonizing public space, supported by examples and implications for spatial practice. The paper shows that although fundamental spatial transformation necessitates radical mental transition, decolonization should move beyond the decoloniality of the mind towards physical intervention in public space.

Title: A post-occupancy playground study: relation between user behaviour and design parameters
Abstract:
This post-occupancy study is targeted to provide guidelines for future playground design in Southeast Asia. It quantifies users’ behaviour and physical activity levels across the playground by behaviour mapping and assesses this against different design parameters, such as challenge level, area size, affordances, and construction costs. The study found that 1) users had a strong preference for challenging play settings with greater height and speed, 2) the effectiveness of a play setting in facilitating physical activity was a function of usage level, physical activity afforded, and capacity, and 3) multiple affordances could multiply the play setting usage.

Title: Rethinking suburban design: streets v/s alleys in improving network connectivity
Abstract:
The notion of an urban-suburban dichotomy is deep-rooted in the literature, which regularly denigrates suburbs and nostalgically g lorifies urban centres. Meanwhile, suburbs have continued to dominate the urbanization process in many regions. This paper does not reject suburbs as an undesirable phenomenon but instead investigates how suburbs can be improved. Taking Abu Dhabi and Dubai as case studies, the article studies the connectivity efficiency of 32 suburban samples. Results reveal that not all suburbs have inefficient connectivity, but there is a room for improvement. Reclaiming alleys could enhance connectivity by 31% in some areas.

Title: A real options framework for adaptive urban design
Abstract:
Urban designs, and in particular urban masterplans, must deal with an inherently uncertain future. However, in practice, many urban masterplans still seem to underestimate or even ignore uncertainty. Some scholars have proposed design flexibility and adaptivity as a way to deal with uncertainties, but a formal framework has been lacking in urban design theory. Drawing upon theories of real options in finance and economics, a framework for design under conditions of uncertainty is developed. Five generic design strategies are identified, offering different flexibility options to urban design. Although such design options are currently used in practice in an intuitive way, the real options framework allows designers to cope with uncertainties in a more structured way and offers the possibility to quantify the added value of flexibility options.

Title: Design studio performance in complex spatial projects: lessons from The Netherlands
Abstract:
The Netherlands has a strong design tradition in planning for the built environment. After a period of neglect, attention for the role of design studios has resurged, particularly for addressing complex spatial projects. These area-based projects have impacts that cut across local to regional scales, so setting up a design process that addresses these scales and engages a wide range of relevant parties proves helpful for formulating design briefs and identifying potential spatial outcomes. This paper discusses the role of the design studio in the Dutch practice, exploring to what extent it helps in identifying the integrated outcomes desired.

Title: Consideration of human centred emotional design and cultural strategy in urban regeneration in China
Abstract:
Many renovations of former industrial sites in China have failed to respond to the different contexts of location within their design. Resulting from an international funded research project, this paper considers Human-Centred Emotional Design and cultural strategy as urban renovation tools that can attract capital, mark the city as a distinctive brand and encourage interaction and sensual engagement from citizens. This paper pinpoints the project’s initial discoveries and captures a range of personal narratives reflecting the real experiences of Chinese people. The findings unlock potential opportunities for culturally coherent regeneration strategies.

Title: Keeping young families in the centre: a pathways approach to child-friendly urban design
Abstract:
This paper outlines the importance of pathway design in creating ‘child-friendly’ cities. There is concern that central parts of major cities have excluded households with children through the process of youthification. The importance of parks in creating child-friendly neighbourhoods is widely accepted, but the quality of the pathways connecting parks to residential areas has received less attention. This study develops a design assessment approach and compares the quality of pathways in youthified and family-oriented neighbourhoods in Portland, Oregon. A stronger focus on informal play opportunities along pathways and a systematic design assessment is recommended to advance child-friendly planning.

Title: The existential crisis of traditional shopping streets: the sun model and the place attraction paradigm
Abstract:
This paper explores the crisis in our traditional shopping streets driven by the rapid move to shopping online. The paper examines the nature of traditional shopping streets; why physical and local shopping is important; conceptualizes the distinguishing characteristics of traditional forms of retail and online shopping alongside the factors that determine shopping choices; and explores different approaches to shaping the future of traditional shopping streets. Ultimately, it asks, what are the key place-based intervention factors that can help to guarantee a future for traditional shopping streets?

Title: Reconnecting waterfronts and central neighbourhoods: the lessons to be learned from user behaviour for the redesign of public spaces
Abstract:
Waterfront redevelopment is one of the main categories of urban project in major cities since the 1980s. However, waterfronts are faced with issues of fragmented land ownership and a lack of integration with other central neighbourhoods. Using Montreal’s waterfront as a case study, this paper shows how the governance framework of urban design may undermine their integration. The observation of user behaviour within public spaces offers a new perspective for the redesign of these links between neighbourhoods, and seeks to contribute to a vision of waterfront precincts beyond the limits imposed by administrative constraints.

Title: Towards a systemic understanding of compact city qualities
Abstract:
The compact city concept remains a key policy response to multiple societal challenges. Based on theoretical and empirical research, this article seeks to a) develop a systemic understanding of compact city qualities; b) map alleged compact city qualities from the literature onto this framework; c) map qualities mentioned by stakeholders in two European cities onto the same framework; and d) apply the developed framework to analyse how compounded compact city qualities relate to policy challenges, such as carbon neutrality, poverty alleviation, neighbourhood revitalization, or community engagement. It is based on literature reviews and interviews with stakeholders in Barcelona and Rotterdam.

Title: The influence of public spaces on emotional states
Abstract:
Although various studies have highlighted the importance of public spaces for human well-being, most of these have been based on qualitative factors. The present research provides a more objective approach, based on quantitative (heart rate variability). The data reveal how different emotions are generated in different public spaces. These differences appear to derive from both the characteristics of the user (and particularly their gender) and from the morphology of the space (including its illumination and built environment). Identifying key factors may help us to improve the design of public spaces and to make them more accessible and inclusive.

Title: The impact of the built environment on creativity in public spaces of Dutch university campuses and science parks
Abstract:
Studies on university campuses public spaces have recognized that there is a significant relationship between the built environment and people’s perceptions of creativity. There is, however, little empirical evidence to support this claim. This research quantifies and measures this relationship, defined as ‘spatial affordances for creativity’, using two types of Dutch university campuses as case studies: inner-city campuses and science parks (SPs). This study found statistical associations that locations of built environment features influenced creativity between people. Moreover, spatial affordances for creativity must be considered in the planning and design of campuses, as a suite of spatial and perceptual conditions.

Title: Urban space of recognition: design for ethno-cultural diversity in the German Colony, Haifa
Abstract:
This paper examines urban design from the socio-political concept of recognition and formulates a framework of urban space of recognition. It aims to illuminate principles of urban design that enhance the recognition of misrecognized groups in public space. Based on an analysis of a public space shared by Arabs and Jews in the mixed city of Haifa, Israel, it proposes that the framework of urban space of recognition rests upon the visual display of multiple cultures and histories as well as designing for opportunities for cross-culture learning and interaction.

Title: Playful experience design: reactivating public space in Cyprus, a case study perspective
Abstract:
Social segregation, limited opportunities for interaction and increasing semi-private public spaces, largely contribute to underused public areas of the city. This paper argues that playful design experiences achieve more than aesthetic outcomes. Implemented as ‘tools’ for personal, social and spatial enhancement, they allow user engagement in exciting and responsive environments. A case study on Cyprus’ capital, Nicosia, demonstrates an event which acted as a catalyst for improved spatial usage, increased sociability, and lasting changes. Playful designs therefore have the potential to change user opinions and create new links between users and places, allowing positive experiences within previously underutilized public spaces.

Title: Multi-functional urban design approaches to manage floods: examples from Dutch cities
Abstract:
This practice paper identifies and examines four multi-functional urban design approaches dealing with urban flooding. These combine flood protection measures such as levees and water reservoirs with parking, retail, plazas, and parks. This paper explains the emergence of these multi-purpose solutions to flood management in the Netherlands. It then examines the characteristics of four types, including inland multi-purpose levees, coastal multi-purpose levees, water plazas, and integrated carparks and water reservoirs. It discusses the challenges of these approaches compared to mono-functional flood strategies. Finally, it identifies their potential applicability for urban design activities elsewhere.

Title: Using suitability analysis, informed by Co-Design, to assess contextually appropriate urban growth models in Gulu, Uganda
Abstract:
Uganda has one of Africa’s fastest urban growth rates, compounding urban challenges, including urban sprawl, the proliferation of informal settlements, decrepit housing, and the privatization of urban development without providing public open space and transport connectivity. In response, this paper tests generic models of urbanization that could be applied in Uganda. This evaluation is conducted through a suitability analysis, informed through Co-Design activities, of the city of Gulu in Northern Uganda. The paper concludes that a corridor model is most responsive to existing environmental, transportation and land-use conditions and residents’ aspirations.

Title: Creativity-driven urban regeneration in the post-socialist context - The case of Csepel Works, Budapest
Abstract:
The complex institutional, economic, and societal trends that have characterized the post-socialist transition in Central and Eastern European countries have drastically reshaped urban development. The case of Budapest shows that three decades of nearly exclusive market-driven urban policies have resulted in a variety of social, spatial and environmental deficiencies. This paper presents the paradigm of creativity-driven urban regeneration and proposes an approach to implement this paradigm, with a key role for urban design interventions, to successfully address these challenges, specifically, the regeneration of industrial brownfields, in an integrated manner and to create more inclusive, just, and sustainable cities.

Title: Re-thinking public spaces at night through the plurality of nocturnal experience: a case study of Liberdade Square, Brazil
Abstract:
This paper discusses public spaces at night, analysing how urban lighting and its gradations of light and darkness affect experience. Urban lighting has been questioned in relation to sustainable and perceptual aspects of the night. Drawing on a methodology that explores the singularities of the nocturnal experience, this paper traces relationships between the practices of subjects and aspects of lighting identified in the Liberdade Square in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The findings suggest perspectives for designing public spaces at night, regarding the plurality of the experience, revealing deviations from the usual practices in Brazil regarding the lights of the city.

Title: Code as urban vision: a critique of the Buffalo Green Code
Abstract:
Adopted in 2017, the Buffalo Green Code was lauded as a comprehensive urban vision for Buffalo, New York. This form-based code would simplify Buffalo’s land use regulations by prescribing what could be built and where, and provide a unified framework for its future. Yet, despite the claims of comprehensiveness, the code left two pressing challenges of the city unaddressed: urban integration of vacant lots and lack of affordable housing. The paper argues that, given these omissions, the code fails to provide a grounded vision, while universalizing reductive fabric-making notions unsuitable for much of the city.

Title: More than 300 teardowns later: patterns in architecture and location among teardowns in Naperville, Illinois, 2008-2017
Abstract:
Analyzing before and after images of 349 teardowns between 2008 and 2017 in the wealthy and sprawling suburb of Naperville, Illinois, shows patterns in aesthetic choices and their fit in older neighbourhoods. First, the teardowns are significantly larger and have different features including larger garages and more windows. Second, over 60% of the teardowns feature Victorian styling. Third, the teardowns are often next to other teardowns in desirable neighbourhoods near the suburb’s vibrant downtown. These visual findings show how teardowns that add to the housing stock often imitate common architectural styles yet exhibit disparate features compared to older neighbouring homes.

Title: Road – gate – enclosure: elite securityscapes in London and Mexico City
Abstract:
The demand for security by urban elites has driven the subtle transformation of their neighbourhoods – and the wider city – with a more closed and fragmented public realm, ‘anti-disorder’ design strategies and increasing control. This article explores signature elements of securityscapes in affluent domains of Mexico City and London, two very different cities yet with similarly fragmenting and inhibiting modes of urban design. Extensive immersion, systematic observation and visual matrixes are used to counterpose key design elements and atmospheric qualities of the securityscape: securitization, privacy and fortification, transforming the ‘path-portal-place’ elements of the city into a logic around ‘road-gate-enclosure’.

Title: Prioritization of influential factors for the pedestrian facility improvement in Indian cities
Abstract:
The improvement of pedestrian facilities is complex and it needs more in-depth study. For the improvement, it is required to prioritize the sidewalks first. Prioritization of sidewalks depends on many factors that are not yet consolidated according to their influence. A combined Delphi–analytic hierarchy process (AHP) methodology was applied to identify and rank the factors which influence the prioritization of sidewalks for pedestrian facility improvement in Indian cities. The results indicate that ‘Lighting’, ‘Maintenance and Cleanliness’ and ‘Crossing Facilities’ are the highest-ranked influential factors. The result will assist the planners in focusing on the critical aspects of pedestrian facilities improvement.

Title: Walkability analyses of Delft city centre by Go-Along walks and testing of different design scenarios for a more walkable environment
Abstract:
This study seeks answers to the research question ‘How can walkability of urban spaces be analysed with a multidimensional approach by using mobile methods?’ The research consists of a literature review, a field study in the city centre of Delft conducted as Go-Along walks, which provide better insight in capturing the experience of walking in situ, and evaluation of design scenarios that were developed according to the outcomes of the field study. As a result, the study emphasizes the strong inter-relations between metrics for a walkable place and the necessity to discuss walkability multi-dimensionally.

Title: Smart city place-based outcomes in India: bubble urbanism and socio-spatial fragmentation
Abstract:
Despite the bourgeoning of smart city initiatives across the Global South, their implementation and place-based outcomes remain understudied. This paper presents empirical studies in three Indian cities of Bhubaneswar, Pune and Chennai; three of the first 20 smart cities prioritized for implementation in the Smart Cities Mission. It investigates the place-based outcomes utilized to create smart cities under three categories of mega-, placemaking, and lighthouse projects. The results show varying levels of urban interventions contributing to ‘bubble urbanism’ – a fragmented combination of large-scale mega-projects and small-scale revitalization projects – with complex socio-spatial implications for smart city development in India.

Title: The role of planners in public open space production in contemporary African cities: a reinjection of the social agenda in planning practice
Abstract:
African cities face challenges of delivering quality public open spaces within set time frames, under constrained budgets, varying levels of political will and professional capacity. These challenges in conjunction with the ‘emotional’ conundrum faced by planners, continue to define the roles of planners and prohibit them from confronting the status quo. This paper argues that the planning profession needs to acknowledge that; to respond to the challenges of contemporary African public open space, an intentional deliberate paradigm is required. This paradigm requires a spatial imagination to reconcile the disjuncture between the static place of planners and the active space of citizens.

Title: Urban co-creation taxonomy
Abstract:
Participation processes first emerged in the twentieth century and are becoming more common in democratic urban planning processes. In resilient, inclusive urban regeneration, the inhabitants are involved in transforming cities. Today, these processes are evolving and new creative tools are emerging. The aim of this research is to understand facets of what is known as urban co-creation by analysing experiments and classifying into a taxonomy their tools, the type of urban space involved, the duration, and the purposes. The use of the taxonomy in case studies shows how participation can be synthesized using a relatively simple code of pattern combinations.

Title: Analysing the influence of a farmers’ market on spatial behaviour in shared spaces
Abstract:
Temporary street activities influence pedestrian movement in public spaces, yet there is no evidence of their influence in shared space environments. Therefore, this paper presents a comparative analysis of the spatial behaviour of pedestrians, cyclists, and motor vehicles in two different shared space schemes in Germany. Their trajectories were extracted from video recordings to evaluate the use of space and speed. The results indicate that a farmers’ market could be considered an influential factor in extending pedestrian movement in the circulation zone and potentially increasing their dominance in the shared space while reducing the speed of all road users.

Title: A history of New York City’s bonus incentive programme and the changing role of the planning department from 1961 to 2019
Abstract:
In 1961, New York City’s Department of City Planning adopted a bonus incentive programme, allowing developers to build larger buildings if they provided public space. Via a series of zoning amendments, changes to the programme have resulted in a series of changes in the design and use of the spaces. Information for the article was drawn from: archival materials, observations of the use and users of the spaces, and interviews with planners. The history of the David Rubenstein Atrium is presented in detail to answer the question of how the role of the DCP changed over time.

Title: Do welfare states need privately owned public spaces? The relevance of and need for such spaces in German cities
Abstract:
Privately owned public space (POPS) are a new type of public space that was first introduced in New York City in the 1960s. POPS have been thoroughly studied in the Anglo-American world; however, little examination has been conducted in welfare states. This paper examines to what extent this type of space is relevant and needed for German cities where the private sector involvement is limited. Survey findings, document analysis, and in-depth interviews indicate that private stakeholders are important partners in the provision of public spaces, and co-produced public spaces like POPS are already part of the urban reality in Germany.

Title: Pluralist production of urban form: towards a parametric development control for unity in diversity
Abstract:
The contemporary city is (re)produced in fragments through numerous typological variations. However, the current practice of spatial planning has yet to suggest effective control mechanisms to steer the piecemeal (trans)formation of cities. This paper argues for parametric modelling as a method of guiding fragmentary developments towards the pluralist production of coherent urban fabrics. Following the parametric definition of the basic morphological codes, the paper discusses the computational capacity of parametric modelling to simulate multiple variations in local fabrics and their consecutive integration within a larger context. The proposed model is tested in the context of Istanbul, Turkey.

Title: Baltimore and the Neighborhood Design Center. Participatory approaches to urban design under conditions of urban shrinkage (1968–2000)
Abstract:
In the fall of 1968, as the city of Baltimore endured urban shrinkage, a group of architects founded the Neighborhood Design Center, a non-profit organization providing design services for disadvantaged communities, still active today. This paper, framed theoretically against the backdrop of participation models developed in the social sciences and the field of community design, argues that the NDC’s approach to urban planning and design constitutes a successful example of participatory methodology but presents important shortcomings when evaluating the impacts of their projects in the current urban environment, with little to nonexistent traces of them.

Title: Livable streets for schoolchildren: a human-centred understanding of the cognitive benefits of Safe Routes to School
Abstract:
While most studies focus on the environmental and physical activity benefits of providing safe and livable streets for children, this paper provides a unique before-and-after experiment using cognitive (or image) mapping exercises employing innovative comparison methods. This work demonstrates how exposure to heavy traffic negatively affects children’s perceptions of their environment, and how improving the pedestrian environment (building walkways and improving a crosswalk) can improve those perceptions. This shift may not only encourage more physical activity and strengthen the connection with their communities but also help children in their cognitive development of spatial knowledge.

Title: Pedestrian access to transit in evolution: unfolding the spatialization of rapid-transit planning
Abstract:
This article retraces the impact of evolving hegemonic rapid transit planning and design strategies on pedestrian integration between stations and neighbourhoods, using Hong Kong as a longitudinal case. Mixed-methods research, triangulating documentary analysis, spatial analysis, and in-depth interviews, identified six typologies across three historical phases. The findings demonstrate that pedestrian access to transit is spatially heterogeneous, shaping the evolution of the station area from a connecting structure into an interconnecting infrastructure. Unfolding the historical interplay of hegemonic forces in the production of pedestrian spaces, this study innovatively bridges the research gap between planning policies and fine-grained urban design features.

Title: ‘Creation of a better urban environment’: Sydney’s Civic Design Society 1962–1984
Abstract:
The increasing acceptance of urban design as an important planning and development framework from the 1960s was mediated through different institutional and place-based circumstances. In Sydney, Australia, a now largely forgotten body, the Civic Design Society, made a significant contribution as ‘a central rallying point for all persons and organizations concerned with fighting ugliness and with making our towns and cities better and more beautiful’. This paper recounts the origins, activities, contributions and legacy of what began as a university club and became an inclusive forum for community and professional engagement in planning, urban renewal, heritage conservation and design issues.

Title: Research through design in urban and landscape design practice
Abstract:
This study takes stock on how research through design (RTD) is interpreted in urban and landscape design practice in relation to the scholarly meaning of RTD. The results indicate that the term ‘RTD’ in Dutch practice largely refers to the typical procedures and resources of a practical design process. This interpretation differs from definitions of scholarly RTD which have more focus on the rigid testing of design alternatives. Such a scholarly RTD approach is advisable to ensure the validity and robustness of design products. This study recommends that this approach to RTD is adopted in urban and landscape design practice.

Title: The form of social life: seeing beyond informality in emergent design qualities, the case of Yüksel Street in Ankara
Abstract:
The general tendency of most socio-spatial research is to separate the theory of lived space from everyday realities. On the contrary, this article aims to connect urban design and everyday life sociology. It follows a spatial ethnography method with data collected during two-year fieldwork in Yüksel Street, a central public space in Ankara, Turkey. As such, the article contains three lines of discussion: locality, everyday life and spatiality. Locality identifies Turkish cities in a fashion that renders vague the formal/informal and the South/North divides. Everyday life refers to the social activities and their physical imprints. Spatiality helps identify these local spatial characteristics as emergent design values by users. Based on the results, the study discusses a new terminology beyond informality capable of studying urban streets as spaces accommodating spontaneity and diversity.

Title: Street design preference: an on-line survey
Abstract:
This paper is a methodological and empirical contribution that reports on the results of an innovative on-line survey of streetscape preference. The ratings of experts and non-experts were compared to gauge the reliability of preference for views about streetscape quality. The goal was to evaluate the degree to which a set of streetscape design characteristics were similar among experts and non-experts and what dimensions of streetscape quality had the most agreement. Results show relatively high correlation between measures of streetscape quality and respondent preference, although there were some differences as well. Interestingly, among the six streetscape qualities studied, the quality of ‘walkability’ showed the least agreement among respondents.

Title: Myths and imaginaries in architectural competitions
Abstract:
This paper presents an analysis of computer renderings of urban spaces created for architectural competitions to promote the Fjord City redevelopment plan for the waterfront in downtown Oslo, Norway. The renderings are assessed with compositional and semiotic analyses. Drawing from Lefebvre's theory of the production of space and literature on landscape, this paper argues that the renderings submitted to architectural competitions promote the ‘myth of the attractive city’, which is one way of viewing urban spaces. The conclusion highlights the relevance of the analysis and findings to urban theory and practitioners.

Title: Design-led solution for curbing crime: the case study of a major entertainment precinct in Perth, Western Australia
Abstract:
This research is built around extant theories on crime prevention through environmental design. An extensive observational appraisal of Northbridge, Perth’s premier entertainment precinct was undertaken, using an adaptation of Jan Gehl’s Quality Criteria research methodology. This involves an assessment matrix for evaluating urban space for protection, comfort and enjoyment. Moreover, the research employed an iterative design-led process, embedding affordance and surveillance principles into an urban design proposition for the case study precinct. Features of the proposed solution include design elements that were identified to dissuade impact, frequency and severity of criminal activities.

Title: Designing thermally sensitive public spaces: an analysis through urban design media
Abstract:
Urban designers face the challenge of preserving urban life by creating public spaces that are resilient to rising temperatures. This paper studies the dissemination of urban designs specific to summer (‘urban coolspots’) throughout urban design media. First, the study of an inventory of urban coolspots (182 references) delineates their urban context, the main actors and principal cooling techniques. Second, a typological analysis of the projects’ spatio-climatic set-ups highlights four trends as presented in the media. Finally, this article discusses the contributions of the media to an emerging urban design field and establishing an aesthetic of freshness in public space.

Title: Which architectural style makes an attractive street scape? Aesthetic preferences among city centre managers
Abstract:
Rational design based on aesthetic principles from the 1930s dominates contemporary architecture and property development, contributing to a homogenous urban landscape. The aim of this paper is to examine how professionals involved in city centre development value different architectural styles. Based on a sample of 109 respondents, measuring the architectural preferences of city centre managers, this study indicates that city centre managers view classical architecture in terms of being better for city centres than modernist. The paper suggests that city centre managers can successfully be involved in the design process of attractive streetscapes.

Title: Typological index of alleyways: mapping the pattern of a forgotten urban form element
Abstract:
Alleys have been neglected in the definition of urban form even though they have existed since antiquity and have served a variety of purposes. This paper identifies alleys as a critical space, especially at the neighbourhood scale. Neighbourhood samples belonging to different growth phases in Abu Dhabi and Dubai are taken as case studies to document the changing morphologies of alleys. Morphological mapping identified ten typologies of alleys. Findings indicate that sometimes alleys are equivalent to streets in terms of occupied land, pattern, density, and length, and in rare occasions, their physical attributes even surpass those of neighbourhood streets.

Title: Mapping the importance of specific physical elements in urban space for blind and visually impaired people
Abstract:
This paper is based on a questionnaire of all Danish Orientation & Mobility instructors, assessing the importance of 34 physical elements as clues in the pedestrian environment to support blind and visually impaired people (BVIP)’s orientation. The aim is to contribute to a body of knowledge about why the design of physical elements is so crucial for (BVIP)’s orientation, accounting for the perceptual sight function and using other senses to compensate for the impaired vision. The study shows that all elements were generally assessed as being very important. Furthermore, the paper discusses how to plan urban space in the future.

Title: Travellers’ perspectives on historic squares and railway stations in Italian heritage cities revealed through sentiment analysis
Abstract:
This study undertakes sentiment analysis of online reviews of public exterior spaces – historic squares and railway stations – in popular destinations in Italy, with the aim of offering new perspectives of community engagement in urban design analysis. The experience of walking through urban spaces in Italian heritage cities is evaluated under indicators of place quality and connectivity, i.e., aesthetic perception, social interaction, body mobility, facilities and amenities, sense of safety, and destination loyalty. Such advanced analysis can reshape the way we interpret the thoughts and emotions of wider communities so that these are included in local place-focused development strategies.

Title: The big squeeze: maintaining the green infrastructure role of estuarine foreshores while adapting to sea-level rise
Abstract:
A global challenge concerns reconciling population growth and increasing built infrastructure with foreshore ecosystems that are ‘squeezed’ against a rising sea levels, hampering their ability to deliver life-sustaining ecosystem services. This paper tests established sea-level rise strategies – fortification, accommodation, and retreat – using a city-centre adjacent estuarine case study in Western Australia to understand the implications for foreshore ecosystem service provision. The results indicate that some retreat of urban areas will be required, combined with the migration of the foreshore reserves landward, to maintain ecosystem service functions over the longer term.

Title: Increasing physical activity and active transportation in an arid city: Slow Streets and the COVID-19 pandemic
Abstract:
Slow Streets promote walkability and provide safe spaces for active travel and recreation by minimizing vehicle traffic on roads. Their effectiveness was tested when the City of Tucson implemented Slow Streets by temporarily closing certain neighbourhood streets to all but local traffic, giving people more space to safely walk, run, and bicycle. Using a quasi-experimental research design, it was possible to measure differences in walking and bicycling between Slow Streets and control streets. Results show Slow Streets are effective in increasing the number of people walking and bicycling on neighbourhood streets, especially while the temporary traffic barriers were in place.

Title: Illustrating shared features of students’ cognitive image of a university campus
Abstract:
Sketch maps reveal important features that reflect people’s understanding of the environment. This study presents how the different types of sketch maps highlighted shared spatial knowledge through a theory-based approach to skeletal map development. Sketch maps collected from 123 university students demonstrated that the information drawn combined sequential (streets) and spatial elements highly dominated by landmarks. Students’ cognitive image of the campus is influenced by open spaces as structuring regional features. The paper illustrated a quick visualization of the spatial layout and how the shared features are described in the route instructions that may be useful during wayfinding.

Title: Public art in cities: what makes it engaging and interactive?
Abstract:
In public art, the paradigm is shifting from ‘look but don’t touch’ towards interactive displays and creations that involve visitors. Accordingly, this study examined some of the factors that lead audiences to interact and engage with public art. Systematic observations of the ‘users’ of 11 public sculptures were conducted in Brisbane, Australia. The investigation revealed that the design features of public art are key to encouraging or deterring visitors. Interaction levels are higher on weekends than on weekdays whereas factors such as the time of day and the location of artworks (parkland, CBD, or neighbourhood) are less influential.

Title: Insights into wayfinding: urban design exploration through the use of algorithmic eye-tracking software
Abstract:
This paper seeks to use eye-tracking emulation software to understand and forecast the human responses to signage and directional cues in Massachusetts, USA. Using eye-tracking emulation software, this study measured the unconscious visual responses people are projected to have to designs and layouts in new built environments, focusing on what makes streets most walkable. The study found differences between the way the brain takes in conventional automobile-oriented residential developments versus new urbanist layouts, with the former lacking key fixation points. The study’s discoveries explain why new urbanist layouts promote walking effortlessly and conventional automobile-oriented residential developments cannot.

Title: Dreamcatching: introducing a reflexive tool to facilitate situated complexity in urban co-design practices
Abstract:
The co-design of urban places and the role of professional urban designers entails facilitating multidimensional processes to capture people’s dreams of attractive and inclusive future living environments. Nevertheless, many urban designers tend to focus on the material factors rather than the social and cultural ones. Based on findings from a case study and conceptual analysis, a systemic reflexive tool is offered to help scholars and practitioners to comprise the complexities of urban design. The Dreamcatcher tool highlights four perspectives of situated complexity and the synergies between them: place and setting; people and participation; vision and scope; and tools and methods.

Title: Park access affects physical activity: new evidence from geolocated Twitter data analysis
Abstract:
This study analysed the association between park access and physical activity in an urban context by extracting tweets from the social media platform Twitter. The results show that areas within a 0.5-mile distance to a park correlate with more physical activity than areas farther than that. Park type might be an essential mediator for the correlation between park size and physical activity. This study suggests that geolocated Twitter data are a viable source of information for researchers inquiring about factors related to urban open space that can contribute to public health.

Title: Gender-bias in the built environment: how young women’s experiences in public space are understood and addressed in London
Abstract:
Although young women have an equal right to public space, socio-cultural influences both manifested in and sustained by the built environment contribute to their exclusion. Using mixed qualitative methodologies, this research explores the spatial and non-spatial causes of this injustice, and examines solutions presented by Key Independent Organizations addressing the issue in London. The analysis problematizes how inequitable social conditions may constrain young women’s design preferences, potentially leading to solutions that perpetuate gendered behaviours with detrimental outcomes. This study provides a point of reference for future initiatives addressing the problem and adds to the growing discourse surrounding inequality in public space.

Title: Design of virtual laneway infrastructure: community activation through augmented reality in underutilized spaces in cities pressured to densify
Abstract:
This study undertook literature studies, site and precinct analyses, and observations of 34 laneways in Perth, Western Australia. Ownership, proximity to residential, and mass transit public transport, critical node linkages, proportions, surface ‘canvas’ area, and development restrictions were assessed eliciting a suitable location to develop an Augmented Reality architectural placemaking ‘projection’ proposition. The ideation presents iterative design process visualizations within a vernacular ‘place’ setting with localized spatial linkages and functionalities, and does not draw to a definitive solution, but a novel, cost-effective, adaptable, and ‘agile’ method of activating ‘lost spaces’ without permanent structural alteration while retaining their original utility.

Title: Forms and patterns of mixticity in compact cities. Mixed-use synergies in the Sagrada Familia neighbourhood of Barcelona
Abstract:
This article explores empirical and objective approaches to combinations of non-residential activities in contemporary urban settings. The research measures the mix of uses in compact cities through the analysis of an urban fragment of Barcelona with high population density that is strolled around daily by thousands of tourists and intensified by a unique combination of daily services, commercial uses and productive activities. The resulting cartography offers a parametric interpretation at the scale of plots, blocks and streets, and establishes some tools to better understand the spatial relations of urban functional mix and proximity.

Title: Implementation of the sustainable urbanization strategy in Malmö and Ostrava
Abstract:
The aim of this article is to compare two European cities, Malmö and Ostrava, in terms of the implementation of the assumptions of sustainable urbanization with particular emphasis on environmental management. The research was carried out using the two techniques of field research and content analysis of these cities’ websites. Results of the research show that when implementing the strategy of sustainable urbanization in Malmö and Ostrava, city authorities adopt two different approaches. In Malmö the dominant activities are those which support the environment, in Ostrava, however, preference is given to more ‘passive’ initiatives.

Title: The significance of public space governance in enhancing the quality of public space delivery and management in South Africa
Abstract:
The role of public space governance in delivering and managing qualitative public space in South African cities is inadequately documented from a municipal governance perspective. The article focuses on the governance of public space delivery and management in the Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality to unlock the best urban design practices concerning creating and sustaining high-quality public space as an essential element of urban infrastructure. The paper argues that the delivery and management of high-quality public spaces in South African cities are underpinned by several essential governance prerequisites that influence the significance, nature and role of public space within these cities.

Title: Cities on the edge: how Bat Yam challenges the common social implications of urban regeneration
Abstract:
Numerous studies have discussed urban regeneration from the perspective of the displacement of long-time residents in disadvantaged communities. However, under certain circumstances, urban regeneration occurring on the outskirts of high-demand areas can enable middle-class and lower-class apartment owners to leverage their apartments as financial assets using various strategies. Relying on a qualitative study (n = 50) conducted in Bat Yam, a suburban city in Israel’s Tel Aviv metropolitan area, this article proposes conceiving of the social impact of urban regeneration as a new inequality in which the ownership structure and the approach to real estate constitute a major link.

Title: Retracing reconstruction. An assessment method for urban metamorphoses following extreme events
Abstract:
Numerous research projects have faced the problem of the interpretation of post-disaster reconstructions. Several contributions have approached the problem in terms of identifying urban-setting reconstruction models, some attempting a systemization on a historiographic basis. To date, however, there has been no comprehensive work aimed at developing a quantitative method for evaluating and comparing reconstruction experiences. This article proposes a reproducible method for the systematic classification of post-disaster reconstructions, based on critical redrawing and data analysis. In the paper, the method is applied to 30 cases of reconstruction after the Second World War.

Title: Building Dodger Stadium: Walter O’Malley’s search for nature and modernism in Los Angeles
Abstract:
In the mid twentieth century, a time in which modernist principles of planning and design were influential, the Brooklyn Dodgers sought a new stadium in Southern California. Increased emphasis on an auto-dominant built form aligned with the construction of freeways that would provide access for the growing suburban fan base. In addition, finding a site in an ever-expanding metropolitan region with topographic variability, required significant engineering prowess. Once acquired, the site design emphasized access, comfort, and efficiency. The modern stadium served as a window to the surrounding rugged terrain, while simultaneously meeting the expectations of a suburban populace.

Title: Urban decline to green paradigm: learning from Dessau
Abstract:
Following reunification after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the eastern German city of Dessau lost population and entire industrial sectors to the more dynamic economies of western Germany, leaving behind a glut of vacant and derelict properties. Dessau’s planners proscribed their demolition, replacing them with a greenway surrounding neighbourhoods as water does an archipelago that has substantially increased biodiversity but has failed, despite the city’s encouragement, to attract community support. This paper explores what adjustments might be necessary for the archipelago model to be more readily adopted by other shrinking cities and new urban developments worldwide.

Title: Victor Gruen versus Jan Gehl – and the contemporary model of pedestrianization
Abstract:
Some cities are currently proposing pedestrianization strategies, while others are debating removing their post-war pedestrian malls. To engage these seemingly conflicting actions, this research questions how ideas of pedestrianization evolved between the post-war and contemporary eras, and extracts lessons to inform contemporary pedestrianization. By examining Victor Gruen’s and Jan Gehl’s ideas about pedestrianization, this research articulates how the concept has evolved from the post-war to now. Arguably, despite claims that contemporary pedestrian strategies are new ideas, this research demonstrates how they represent an evolution from earlier post-war modernist ideas. Understanding these connections offers lessons for contemporary pedestrianization strategies.

Title: The typological making of retail streets. Santa Ifigenia Street in São Paulo: origin 1850 – 1931
Abstract:
This article reconstructs the building transformations of Santa Ifigenia Street, São Paulo, to determine the formative process of a retail street. The work establishes the sequence of incremental changes using official building files between 1850 and 1931. The results reveal that retail specialization derives from the adaptation of mostly residential to retail uses, where the transformative process requires long periods of several decades to occur and it is mainly self-organized. Planning regulations must take into account these considerations for a proper management of retail areas.

Title: Informal extension of public housing estates in Nairobi – an appraisal of historical typologies and emergent spatial patterns
Abstract:
Nairobi has historically been a laboratory for a diverse range of public housing estate typologies. Through a morphological approach, this paper analyses how Nairobi’s estates have been transformed by resident’s informal extensions and what impact the erstwhile typology had on their pattern of extensions. Using the concept of building culture, it identifies five socio-spatial logics used by the residents, namely disguising, enclosing, disclosing, embedding, and replacing. Nairobi’s housing estates have a future if the accumulated lessons of over six decades of public housing estates can be applied and when the existing building logics are harnessed.

Title: Bridging the design / finance divide: adding ‘design strings’ to the finance of urban development
Abstract:
Professional, policy and conceptual divides continue to throw up barriers to a shared understanding between the domains of urban design and development finance. Drawing on cross-Europe analysis, this paper explores the relationship between mechanisms of finance and tools of urban design governance, asking how they can work together to enhance urban quality. Practices were conceptualized and compared and those that combined tools were identified and evaluated. The results fed into an evolving typology of urban design governance and helped to establish clear principles for the effective combination of finance and design: adding ‘design strings’ to the finance of urban development.

Title: Towards a movement-friendly city: lessons from activity scans of five neighbourhoods in Antwerp, Belgium
Abstract:
This paper describes the results of a research project in Antwerp, Belgium, aimed at developing a spatial analysis approach (‘activity scan’) assessing how the urban fabric on a neighbourhood scale can encourage physical activity and active transport. By outlining a set of recurring spatial challenges and describing the developed innovative toolkit, the research responds to the necessity for design-oriented insights on how to promote active travel and instigate concrete interventions. By critically analysing this co-creative research trajectory, this article emphasizes the need for an interdisciplinary dialogue on what contributes to a movement-friendly urban environment.

Title: Data and discourse: an assessment of Taksim urban design competition in terms of populism and participation
Abstract:
This research presents perspectives on urban design competitions from both professionals and the general public by utilizing two sets of data: a review of professional discussions and social media commentaries on the competition. The international urban design competition for Taksim Square, held during the global pandemic lockdowns, generated a substantial record of the process, offering a rare opportunity to revisit existing literature and gain new insights into urban design competitions. The findings are evaluated through the framework of participation and populism.

Title: Urban humanities as a framework for the study of public space during the pandemic
Abstract:
COVID-19 has revealed limitations in traditional public space research methods. There is a need for new approaches to study and intervene during times of crisis. Interdisciplinary urban humanities approaches can help researchers respond to pandemic public space dynamics. This article develops a framework linking urban humanities practices – thick mapping, filmic sensing, and digital storytelling – to the production of space at multiple scales. A case study is presented of a course that employed these methods and proposed speculative design interventions to accommodate street vending, skateboarding, and unhoused people in the Westlake neighbourhood of Los Angeles.

Title: Comprehensive evaluation approach in the assessment of play value of playgrounds: case of Balçova, İzmir
Abstract:
Urban children prefer playgrounds near home spaces due to physical and parental limitations on outdoor play. To increase the play value and use of playgrounds, it is essential to take a comprehensive design approach that considers the playground’s design and surrounding environment. Using the play value calculation tool designed by Woolley and Lowe, and making site location analyses, this study aims to evaluate the relationship between physical and environmental characteristics of playgrounds with land use decisions through an analysis of the numbers of users and play value of playgrounds in neighbourhood parks in Balçova, İzmir (Turkey).

Title: The notion of the node: disentangling and conceptualizing infrastructure nodes in the Eurometropolis Lille-Kortrijk-Tournai
Abstract:
The Eurometropolis Lille-Kortrijk-Tournai is a dispersed territory increasingly confronted with challenges related to its indispensable infrastructure networks. This article establishes a theoretical-conceptual base for the notion of the infrastructure node and states its strategic importance to reimagine dispersed territories. Literature and case study research resulted in four types of nodes: crossings, generators, nexuses, and cluster. This article concludes that there is a distinct difference between nodes in dispersed territories and compact cities and that therefore a shift is needed from form to process design, dealing with complex systems of flows that come together in multi-layered nodes.

Title: The ethics of co-design
Abstract:
There is a lack of definition in policy of the term co-design, and yet local authorities and developers are increasingly using it. To avoid that this term becomes meaningless, it is essential to define how to run co-design processes ethically. Building on case studies, professional experience, collaborations with communities, and a Participatory Action Research approach, this paper defines a set of principles on how to run a co-design process ethically and genuinely including communities in decision-making. Departing from the legal Principles for Fair Consultation in England and Wales, the paper expands them and results into ten ethical principles for co-design.

Title: Feel the atmosphere: a qualitative study on spatial experiences in contemporary Muße architecture
Abstract:
In an ever-accelerating world, experiences free of outcome expectancy and time pressure for the pursuit of intrinsic activities are increasingly rare. Such moments are described by the German term ‘Muße’. This qualitative study focused on prototypical objects of contemporary Muße architecture. The aim was to investigate empirically how individuals experience such spaces via their ambient atmosphere using semi-structured interviews. By Grounded Theory Methodology, a typology of spatial experiences was developed. The analysis revealed specific and general experience patterns, as well as conducive architectural means. The results are interpreted in terms of theories of Muße, restoration, aesthetic absorption and time experience.

Title: The imperatives of TOD regulations: facilitating sustainability and predictability of built-form
Abstract:
Many U.S. cities are adopting form-based codes (FBCs) instead of conventional zoning codes (CZCs) to encourage sustainability and predictability of built-form outcomes in transit-oriented developments (TODs). This research used a multiple-case study method to examine the extent to which FBCs adopted for TODs differ from CZCs in facilitating sustainable design and in delineating the envisioned built-form. The results reveal that, although there is variation, FBCs adopted for TODs facilitate sustainable design to a greater extent and more effectively delineate the envisioned built-form than do CZCs. The study concludes with recommendations for emphasizing sustainability and predictability of built-form in TOD regulations.

Title: Refining urban design governance: an investigation of the urban design assessment processes in Aotearoa New Zealand
Abstract:
This article investigates the urban design decision-making processes within Aotearoa New Zealand. It analyses the documents and terminologies in urban design assessments of residential developments and maps the professions that prepare them. It draws data from four cities: Auckland, Tauranga, Wellington, and Christchurch. The findings reveal a core of referenced documentation but uncertainty regarding supplementary documents, a variety of terminologies, and a range of expertise and qualifications of those preparing the assessments. These findings suggest that further guidance and prescribed professional standards are desirable to refine the governance of the urban design sector in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Title: Children’s and parents’ perceptions on safe routes to schools: a mixed-methods study investigating factors influencing active school travel
Abstract:
The proportion of children walking or riding to school is dwindling in Australia, while pedestrian injuries are among children’s leading causes of death. A mixed-methods survey was conducted on children and parents of two schools in Australia to understand travel behaviours and attitudes towards active transport to school (ATS). Results showed that road safety perceptions predicted ATS, unlike distance to school and stranger danger. The design of the routes to school was found to be crucial in facilitating ATS, to address the fear of road danger. Practical implications include the need for more controlled pedestrian crossings and protected bike paths.

Title: Iterative urban design and transport simulation using Sketch MATSim
Abstract:
New transport technologies have historically influenced how cities are shaped, while urban form is known to influence travel behaviour. But this reciprocal relationship is seldom operationalized in practice due to the disciplinary gap between urban design and transport planning. The two are often linked through a ‘predict and provide’ workflow, which is problematic in the context of emerging technologies such as AVs. This paper argues for a more iterative design and transport simulation workflow, through design experiments. One design experiment is illustrated using Sketch MATSim, to investigate the impact of network design on the performance of shared automated vehicles.

Title: Playful, portable, pliable interventions into street spaces: deploying a ‘playful parklet’ across Melbourne’s suburbs
Abstract:
A parklet is a small, relocatable public space installed onto kerb-side car-parking spaces. This article examines the evolving design, programming, approval process and reception of a ‘playful parklet’, available for free public use, which was transformed and relocated between four urban contexts in Melbourne. It demonstrated a creative, collaborative placemaking approach involving artists, game-makers, researchers, residents and local governments. Through analysis of its playful, portable and pliable design, the article highlights three areas of innovation: testing new post-COVID governance and engagement possibilities; incorporating adaptability and incremental adjustment into parklet design; and serving as a platform for new modes of social and spatial play.

Title: The effects of small Water Cool(ing) Islands on body temperature
Abstract:
Water Cool(ing) Island (WCI) literature has paid little attention to smaller waterscapes in developed areas that are most vulnerable to the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. To fill this gap, this study investigated participants’ changes in body temperature and stress level associated with the visual, auditory, and thermal properties of small waterscapes. The results of this study demonstrated that smaller waterscapes can provide effective cooling for predominantly hardscaped urban settings prone to the effects of UHI. This approach offers low-income residents without air-conditioning outdoor alternatives to indoor cooling centres in a post-pandemic era with more frequent and severe heat waves.

Title: The ‘cooling urban water environments’ concept: potential for application in practice
Abstract:
Research indicates that water in small water bodies has negligible cooling effects, but also that its surrounding environment can be designed to become cooler by applying the ‘cooling urban water environments’ concept. However, this concept was created for generic urban environments and not tested in practice. This study applies this concept to a specific urban environment, tests its micrometeorological performance and surveys how urban designers and landscape architects regard its usability. The results indicate that the ‘cooling urban water environments’ concept can lead to site-specific cooling effects and that there is willingness amongst practitioners to apply this concept.

Title: Exploring criteria for reallocating road space dynamically: lessons from a workshop with experts
Abstract:
There is a potential to allocate road space dynamically over time when demands are complementary or disputed. A workshop with experts was performed to discuss the practicability of implementing dynamic solutions in urban areas. The workshop aimed to identify possible dynamic solutions, select streets for intervention, and systematize and rank street-level criteria for different dynamic road space allocation solutions. The results suggest that street-level site selection criteria can be classified into three typologies (functional, geometric, and layout) and vary across solutions.

Title: Is public transit meeting the needs of women? A gender audit of two Asian metro systems
Abstract:
In this novel study, a gender audit was conducted to assess how the Seoul (Metro) and Jakarta (MRT) subway systems respond to women’s needs. The audit revealed that both Seoul Metro and MRT Jakarta have made significant efforts to accommodate the needs of all passengers, including women. This is commendable because a public transit system that works well for women works better for everyone. With some improvements, both subways could achieve Universal Design standards. The audit protocol developed can be employed to periodically monitor other subway systems in Asia and measure progress towards gender mainstreaming.

Title: Attract or repel: how street features shape pedestrians’ leisure walks in cities
Abstract:
The paper presents a field study analysing how pedestrians walked for leisure purposes in a familiar urban area, and why they walked as they did. Using mobile-based GPS, the walking trajectories of 44 participants were recorded, followed by the administration of a post-walk survey. Results show that participants gravitated towards five distinct paths that were similar in length (three shorter and two longer paths), yet observably different with respect to specific street features. Correspondingly, participants rated street features associated with these differences as factors that either attracted them towards, or repelled them away, from walking in specific streets.

Title: Unravelling retail diversity through its spatial relationship with social vulnerability and tourism pressures in Barcelona
Abstract:
Diversity in retail and facilities is essential for creating proximity environments. Most analyses have focused on either built environment predictors or the balance between diversity and social vulnerability and tourism, but little is known of their interrelationship. Using georeferenced data of retail and facilities in Barcelona (Spain), the study shows that diversity is positively associated with compact and dense environments, but negatively related to social vulnerability and tourist accommodation. Five clusters were studied based on retail diversity, urban vulnerability, and tourist intensity. Some areas may be endangered by the overrepresentation of specific activities. These insights can inform activity diversification policies.

Title: ‘I will stay here’: public space and social inequality during the COVID-19 pandemic
Abstract:
The implementation of city lockdowns in response to the COVID-19 pandemic exposed some social inequalities in Mexico. The paper evaluates the effects of the closure of the Alameda Central, a public park in the Historic Centre of Mexico City. It examines how its closure affected some vulnerable populations, including homeless people, beggars, street vendors, buskers, and male sex workers, to the extent that they resisted leaving or found ways to return to public space. The research shows how Mexican COVID-19 policies tended to overlook the diversity of populations making use of public space, and their various necessities.
