Title: The metropolitan region: from concepts to indicators of urban sustainability 
Abstract:
	      The metropolitan region is regarded as the most appropriate
 unit to address sustainable urbanism. However, the metropolitan region's
 building blocks, from region to city to neighborhood to building site, are
 rarely invoked in recent discussions of urban sustainability. This paper
 broadens the discourse by defining sustainability as having the enduring
 qualities of built and natural environments, highlighting the connection
 of each scale to the sustainability of the metropolitan region as a whole.
 In addition, I review the implications for indicators and standards that
 operationally benchmark sustainability in cities and regions. The paper
 concludes with a discussion that draws on regionalism's better known
 holistic connotations of urban sustainability, with an emphasis on form,
 function and the limits of regionalism.

Title: Integration of sustainability in planning and design programs in higher education: evaluating learning outcomes 
Abstract:
	      Although sustainability has a growing presence in the
 planning and design professions, little guidance is available on how to
 incorporate sustainability into planning and design education programs.
 Sustainability can be covered in most planning or design courses to some
 degree; however, we demonstrate a purposeful application of sustainability
 through a variety of courses, some specialized, others broad-based and
 interdisciplinary. We provide a step-wise rationale for incorporating
 sustainability into programs by examining the objectives, content,
 experiences and outcomes that have integrated sustainability into planning
 and design courses. We discuss our observations of incorporating
 sustainability concepts and methods, finding that the adoption of
 sustainability can act as a catalyst leading to strengthening outcomes in
 planning and design pedagogy.

Title: Green growth machines, LEED ratings and value free development: the case of the Philadelphia property tax abatement 
Abstract:
	      In this paper we examine an attempt in Philadelphia in 2009
 to alter a popular and longstanding city property tax abatement program by
 connecting it to LEED building standards. We argue that the attempt to
 change the property tax abatement was an attempt by an insurgent growth
 coalition - what we call a 'green growth machine' - to capture a greater
 proportion of the returns from land investment from the city's traditional
 growth machine. LEED was an important tool in the green growth machine's
 strategy, because the rating system has become a means by which growth
 machines have established green building as a component of the ideology of
 value free development. The attempt to alter the property tax abatement
 limited the extent to which LEED could be used as a tool in the
 construction of an ideology of value free development, which suggests both
 the limits to the power of that ideology, and how components of that
 ideology might be used to challenge a traditional growth machine.

Title: Pathways and artifacts: neighborhood design for physical activity 
Abstract:
	      Both informal observation and systematic studies reveal that,
 especially among car-owning households, pedestrian travel occurs less for
 utilitarian purposes such as shopping, and more as therapeutic physical
 activity, meant for health and recreation. In response, this study
 proposes a new model for residential neighborhood design. Wide 'pathways',
 many resembling medians in residential thoroughfares, link streets,
 neighborhoods and open space in networks rich with recreational
 opportunities, while maintaining the advantages of accessibility and
 orientation that grid patterns provide. 'Artifacts' in the landscape lend
 sensory and experiential interest to a walker's or jogger's encounter with
 the environment. Taken together, pathways and artifacts provide
 pedestrians with more opportunities for engaging with the built and
 natural environments and thereby generate the comings and goings that make
 for vital neighborhoods.

Title: History and prospects of the rail station 
Abstract:
	      Rail stations are a major element of the overall journey
 experience, and are essentially the 'face' of public transport. A review
 of historic currents in station design reveals a number of periods in
 which station architecture was taken very seriously. This paper outlines
 the history of rail station design - for the benefit of practitioners and
 researchers from diverse backgrounds in the urban disciplines. A review of
 the established literature is cross-referenced to a 5-year programme of
 observational fieldwork around international station exemplars. In doing
 so, the paper synthesises the state of advanced practice and built form
 outcomes in station design. The paper also summarises technical aspects of
 station design that practitioners from across the urban disciplines need
 to understand in order to work effectively in station-related projects.
 This advanced understanding of the transport-based performance of stations
 connects with broader moves toward integrated planning.

Title: Emergent Urbanism: structural change and urban planning and design 
Abstract:
 In response to the structural changes of recent decades, many European
 cities and towns have invested in production, consumption and
 transportation infrastructures, marketing and branding measures, and urban
 design schemes, in order to manage and stimulate urban regeneration. This
 paper contributes to a discussion of urban planning and design in the
 context of structural change, emphasizing the consequences that such
 change has had for urban heritage and the sense of place. The paper
 addresses two cases from Swedish infrastructure planning practice to
 construct a conceptual framework for the discussion and analysis of
 contemporary theory and practice in urban planning and design. Throughout
 this paper, we argue that the urban landscape should not be seen as solely
 resulting from deliberate planning and design measures. Rather,
 understanding the regeneration of that landscape requires a deeper
 consideration of decisions related to infrastructure planning, as well as
 emergent processes of economic, social and spatial processes of structural
 change. We put forward the term Emergent Urbanism to describe this
 expanded understanding.

Title: A typology of New Urbanism neighborhoods 
Abstract:
 This paper describes a framework for understanding the diversity of New
 Urbanism (NU) in practice in the United States. The framework is based on
 a nationally representative survey of NU developers that inventories
 characteristics of NU projects' built environments across categories of
 urban design, land use, street configuration, and size. Using cluster
 analysis, the paper resolves the diversity of NU in practice into three
 types: Mainstream Urbanism, Dense Urbanism, and Hybrid Urbanism. The paper
 elaborates on each type, including geographic and temporal aspects of
 constituent projects. It also considers the ways in which the framework
 contributes to scholarly understanding of NU and advances the discussion
 of NU in practice.

Title: Brasília and Putrajaya: using urban morphology to represent identity and power in national capitals 
Abstract:
 Brasília, the national capital of Brazil, and Putrajaya, the new
 administrative capital of Malaysia, were created generations apart and on
 different continents. Brasília was created as an icon of Modernist
 architecture, while Putrajaya represents the emergence of new symbolic
 relationships between government and economic prowess. Like most new towns
 built in the twentieth century, they were made possible by government
 backing. This paper explores the ideological basis for the production of
 urban space in the development of seats of national governments. The
 analysis of Brasília and Putrajaya confirms that governments use urban
 design in national capitals to represent power.

Title: Delta urbanism: planning and design in urbanized deltas - comparing the Dutch delta with the Mississippi River delta 
Abstract:
 Planning and design approaches in urbanized deltas are in a process of
 fundamental reconsideration. For a new approach, it is fruitful to
 consider the urbanized delta area as a complex, layered system, based upon
 complex-systems theories and layer-based methods. With this theoretical
 point of view, we can distinguish several development periods of urbanized
 deltas like the Mississippi River delta and the Dutch Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt
 delta. In the current period, both deltas find themselves in a transition
 between the regime of the recent past and the new regime. In this
 transition process, the planning and design of the infrastructural system
 will be crucial. In order to find the most effective approach to
 infrastructure as a condition for urban development and water management,
 it will be important to develop a method of research by design, based upon
 strong collaboration between different disciplines such as urban design
 and planning, hydraulic engineering, landscape architecture, and
 environmental sciences.

Title: The paradox of urban preservation: balancing permanence and changeability in old Muslim cities 
Abstract:
 Preservation policies, generally based on the intervention of the state,
 protective regulations, and the freezing of permissible building
 alterations, often stand in contradiction to the incremental process that
 generates cities and buildings. Considering the urban dynamics that
 characterise Muslim cities, including population growth, rural migration,
 urban poverty, and the informal economy, such preservation policies are
 becoming increasingly obsolete. This article aims at presenting a
 compromise approach to urban preservation that is based on a balance
 between the two opposite, yet complementary terms: permanence and
 changeability. A classification of urban components into permanent and
 changeable would enable policymakers to establish action plans for urban
 preservation according to priorities and the availability of funds, thus
 helping to ensure urban sustainability.

Title: The impacts of alternative patterns of urbanization on greenhouse gas emissions in an agricultural county 
Abstract:
 Different patterns of urban development may have widely varying long-term
 effects on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To investigate such effects, we
 used UPlan geographic information system-based software to model three
 2050 urban-growth scenarios for Yolo County, a predominantly agricultural
 area near Sacramento, California. Two scenarios correspond to the
 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's A2 and B1 storylines. We also
 added a third, infill-only scenario called AB32-Plus that assumes
 continued strong climate change policy in California and highly compact
 urban development. Results show dramatically different levels of GHG
 emissions from transportation and residential-building energy use in the
 three scenarios, especially when compact urban development is combined
 with strong assumptions about energy efficiency and population. The
 preservation of farmland is also an important climate mitigation and
 adaptation benefit of the compact-development alternative.

Title: Neighbourhood type and walkshed size 
Abstract:
 Neighbourhood block pattern has been hypothesized to be a major factor in
 providing residents with the potential for walking. However, without an
 accurate tool to measure walksheds, this was not verifiable. Recent
 research, a portion of the EcoEUFORIA (Economic Evaluation of Urban Form
 to Increase Activity) project, provided techniques for accurately
 measuring walksheds, and allowed statistical analysis of a large data-set
 representing all the neighbourhoods in Calgary, Canada. This research
 demonstrates that walkshed size varies among neighbourhood types, with the
 grid block pattern being the most walkable, and the curvilinear pattern
 the least. Despite the growing body of knowledge regarding walkability,
 the prevailing practice is to continue to develop the less walkable
 curvilinear forms. This research has the potential to influence the
 development of planning policies that promote more walkable neighbourhood
 design, in that it illustrates clearly, and using a large data-set, the
 relationships between neighbourhood form and walkability.

Title: Learning from students: geodesign lessons from the regional design studio 
Abstract:
 This paper explores potential issues in the emerging field of geodesign by
 examining key lessons learned through design studios. Presenting three
 distinct projects as examples from regional design studios in an
 undergraduate landscape architecture program, this paper points out common
 learning experiences that repeat despite very different contexts.
 Recurring issues that can be observed from these examples include
 difficulty in addressing scale, difficulties in dealing with the volumes
 of data and information available and complications due to perceptions of
 the false dichotomy between science and design. With the potential to
 reshape urban planning and design, the need for geodesign to openly
 embrace a grand vision of itself is evident. However, for these changes to
 be meaningful, serious changes need to be undertaken in our educational
 processes developing a generation of urban and regional geodesigners who
 are better equipped to think scientifically while shaping landscapes and
 places responsibly and creatively.

Title: Geodesign meets curriculum design: integrating geodesign approaches into undergraduate programs 
Abstract:
 The recent emergence of geodesign elicits broad questions about what to
 teach our students, and how to teach it. Geodesign bridges the geospatial
 sciences and geographical information system (GIS)-related techniques with
 the design professions to inform better land-use decisions. With its
 emphasis on real-world applications, information technologies, and
 cross-disciplinary problem-solving, geodesign lends itself to a variety of
 experiential, active learning strategies collectively known as
 learner-centered education (LCE). This paper explores how LCE, outcomes
 assessment, and curriculum design can together support geodesign-oriented
 undergraduate programs. Looking specifically at a new degree program at
 Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, the authors view geodesign
 education as a platform for promoting learner-centered approaches that at
 once transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries and are becoming
 increasingly important for employment opportunities. The example discussed
 herein illustrates how promising practices in curriculum design and LCE
 can inform geodesign education, thereby enabling other faculties to
 discover their own educational opportunities in geodesign.

Title: A new type of urban form? Possible futures for fabric structures in urban contexts 
Abstract:
 This article explores possibilities for future uses of inflatable and
 fabric architecture in urban contexts. Such uses may serve regeneration or
 homeless sheltering purposes, drawing from the Bedouin and Traveller
 traditions. They may also build on the much more recent Western precedents
 offered by the "Occupy" movement and pop-up buildings, and arguably follow
 in the footsteps of Situationism.

Title: Understanding factors affecting people's attitudes toward living in compact and mixed-use environments: a case study of a New Urbanist project in Eugene, Oregon, USA 
Abstract:
 This paper examines factors affecting people's attitudes toward living in
 a compact and mixed-use environment. It reports a case study of a new
 compact and mixed-use project in Eugene, Oregon. Based on a survey of and
 interviews with residents living in close proximity to this project, and
 interviews with local planners and developers, this research shows that
 people's attitudes toward compact living are associated with their
 awareness of the environmental and social consequences related to
 different land-use patterns and their residential preference for and
 perceptions of environmental qualities of compact neighborhoods, as well
 as their impression of the new project nearby.

Title: Walking in the shoes of another: assessing the boundaries of an environmental justice community and cumulative risk exposure through collaborative research 
Abstract:
 This project examines a methodology for collaboration to identify
 potential sources of cumulative exposures for community members during
 their routine weekly travels. While many sources of exposures require
 registration with state or federal regulatory systems, other small-scale
 sites may go unnoticed except by everyday occupants of the area. Residents
 who have few financial resources may call home those environments where
 exposures to multiple contaminants coexist with psychosocial stress and
 occur either simultaneously or sequentially to create synergistic effects
 on individual health. We conducted a "nested" model of community-based
 collaborative research with community organizations and individuals
 employing interviews, cognitive mapping, and geographic information
 systems to characterize a proposed environmental justice community in
 Yonkers in New York state, USA. The ability to tap into local knowledge
 and obtain a more comprehensive assessment of potential contaminants
 presents opportunities for more thorough assessment of cumulative
 exposures, calling for context-relevant forms of participation.

Title: Paradigm of mediocrity: poverty and risk accumulation in urban Africa - the case of Korle Gonno, Accra 
Abstract:
 This paper examines how poverty has developed in Korle Gonno, an
 indigenous Ga community in Accra, Ghana, as a concrete challenge. This
 challenge has gone unnoticed until recently, though several informal
 studies exist in Ghana. By problematizing vulnerability, the literature is
 examined within Accra's development dynamics. Through extensive fieldwork,
 the results show a socially stratified and highly dependent community
 experiencing vulnerabilities and the residents' diverse coping strategies.
 Drawing upon the empirical data, it is argued that the lack of recognition
 of urban poverty (i.e., the raison d'&ecirc;tre of slum) means many
 continue to be exposed to health risks. The paper concedes that the
 problem demands a multifaceted solution that includes more subjective
 issues like vulnerability and social exclusion, and objective ones like
 good urban governance and power relations. Failure to do so can lead to a
 downward spiral into extreme poverty that can affect the entire society.

Title: Sustainable urban qualities in the emerging city of Doha 
Abstract:
 Various urban qualities are required for sustainable urban development,
 which is a particular challenge in the case of emerging cities such as
 Qatar's capital, Doha. Therefore, this paper seeks to introduce a
 framework concerning how to investigate urban qualities and their
 production in space in order to clarify the challenges and limitations of
 planning for sustainability. The paper is based on analyses and
 evaluations of GIS data as well as a series of interviews with 10 planning
 experts at the Ministry of Municipalities and Urban Planning and a series
 of questionnaires received from 350 inhabitants. After introducing the
 basic framework as a model, the three dimensions of sustainability -
 ecological efficiency, economic growth and social equity - are analysed in
 relation to the urban qualities needed for producing them. In conclusion
 the general challenges in establishing sustainable urban development
 mechanisms in Doha are discussed.

Title: On place-making, participation and public art: the Gorbals, Glasgow 
Abstract:
 Public art has become part of the rhetoric of regeneration and within this
 participation has come to play an increasingly significant role. Public
 art, through its aesthetic and process, is perceived as integral to
 place-making within regeneration practice, affording cohesion to otherwise
 disaffected and disillusioned communities and distinctiveness to reformed
 places. Based on the example of a regenerated inner-city neighbourhood in
 Glasgow, the Gorbals, this paper questions the role of public
 participation in the installation of public art. How the regeneration of
 the neighbourhood unfolded was heavily influenced by new urbanist ideals
 in which place-making techniques were instrumental in repositioning the
 perception of the neighbourhood for its residents as well as externally.
 We argue that within a complex process of regeneration there are limits to
 how public participation can be built into the process of installing
 public art, reflecting in turn the different routes through which places
 become meaningful.

Title: Hidden in plain sight: design approaches to Midwestern Mexican-American landscapes 
Abstract:
 While increasing numbers of new immigrants from Mexico, recruited for
 meatpacking, food-processing, and light-manufacturing jobs, have been
 joining Mexican-origin people resident in the Midwest since the early
 twentieth century, both established and new Mexican-American communities
 remain virtually invisible to those shaping the built environment. To
 learn to "see" these Latina/o communities and make appropriate decisions
 regarding them, designers require information. This article provides
 descriptions of Mexican-American landscape types found in small cities
 across the region and discusses their landscape characteristics,
 constraints, and opportunities in various land uses, as well as their
 implications for work beyond these small Midwestern cities.

Title: The entrepreneurial city of Kelapa Gading, Jakarta 
Abstract:
 This article examines chronologically how Summarecon Company has
 transformed vast, unproductive lands into a satellite city of Kelapa
 Gading (300,000 population). The study was based on an exploration of the
 process through which the township was created and represented as a new
 city. Soetjipto Nagaria, the founding father of Kelapa Gading City, exerts
 his leadership as a coherent approach to account properly for the growth,
 development, and morphology of the city. The company's achievement in
 generating profitability and sustaining Kelapa Gading's growth rate is
 based on a paradoxical dualism between economic incentives and continual
 innovation. The company must adhere to the rigid formulas that govern the
 city's profitability, but at the same time it needs to generate continual
 innovation in order to stay at the forefront of the constantly changing
 'state of the art' development for an entrepreneurial city.

Title: 3D spatial-temporal GIS modeling of urban environments to support design and planning processes 
Abstract:
 Visualization methods have been used by planners for many years,
 especially in the form of 3D visualization in design and 2D GIS in
 visualization and spatial analysis. The existing range of visualization
 methods, however, focuses primarily on the static state: it provides a
 representation of the urban environment at one particular point in time,
 usually using the most recent data-set available. This study attempts to
 build a 3D spatial-temporal GIS model of an urban environment to help
 study changes in the physical form of cities. The model treats time and
 space as mutually constitutive factors, thus allowing us to visualize the
 dynamic transition of an urban landscape: the way an urban area evolves
 over a period of time, including the growth and changes of street
 patterns, the sizes and shapes of buildings, and area density, as well as
 the general life cycle of a city as a whole.

Title: Integration of GIS and perception assessment in the creation of needs-based urban parks in Ramallah, Palestine 
Abstract:
 In Palestinian cities, urban parks are rare and their size is limited,
 comprising roughly 0.5 m2 per person in Palestine's fastest growing city,
 Ramallah. Prior studies indicate that conventional planning, zoning, and
 standards-based approaches do not fully meet people's needs for parks in
 urban settings. Hence, a needs-based approach was implemented in this
 study. A survey instrument was administered to a representative stratified
 sample composed of planners, professionals, and academics. The
 questionnaire was successfully administered to more than six hundred
 respondents (n= 650) and the results divulged a number of important points
 that will aid in future park and green space location, creation, and park
 utility. These findings included (a) overwhelming (perceived) need for
 more parks provided with facilities like playgrounds, water features, and
 relaxing areas; (b) a perception of uneven distribution of parks and
 facilities in urban settings; and (c) an increase in accessibility via
 roads and walking paths.

Title: Honouring young children's voices to enhance inclusive communities 
Abstract:
 Children's environments and their ability to interact with them have
 impacts upon their well-being and sense of identity. Creation of
 participatory methodologies for children of all ages and particularly for
 children under five years of age is a step towards understanding what is
 necessary to create inclusivity and towards addressing the inequity faced
 by young children in their environments. This article will draw on data
 from a research project with an inner-urban local government body in
 Victoria, Australia, that aimed to support young children's participation
 within the local government and the community. These data demonstrate how
 participatory methods can be used with children under five outside of
 typical early-childhood institutions; the article also analyses the data
 in terms of the specific experiences of dependent young children in an
 urban environment and the related effects on their well-being and
 mobility.

Title: The family house and its territories in contemporary Italy: present conditions and future perspectives 
Abstract:
 Family houses are the principal material of the dispersed settlements that
 have marked the Italian urban landscape since the 1970s. From the Po Plain
 to the Adriatic coast and Apennine valleys, and all the way down to the
 Mezzogiorno, these buildings have created a built environment in which
 distinct features interweave with more standard formats. Today, a large
 part of this housing stock is facing a crisis, unable to provide the
 qualities demanded by its inhabitants, whose changing needs it is unsuited
 to address. The old-style family houses are showing signs of under-use,
 while new building formats are being developed on former farmland. Given
 this critical scenario, we outline three reform strategies intended to
 redirect the urban fabric of the <italic>città diffusa</italic> towards
 social, environmental and economic sustainability. These strategies favour
 the adaptation of existing family houses, to channel the dynamics for
 change, which are already underway, towards these sustainability goals.

Title: Sustainability and suburban housing in the Toronto region: the case of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan 
Abstract:
 This article focuses on the relationship between housing and sustainable
 development in the suburban portion of the Toronto-centered region.
 Interviews with key stakeholders were completed to examine the
 implementation of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan by the Canadian
 province of Ontario as a response to the negative impacts associated with
 single-family detached housing development. Representatives from
 government, real estate development, and the non-profit sector were asked
 to identify the housing characteristics they considered relevant for
 achieving sustainable development objectives. The responses indicate that
 achieving a consensus among stakeholders requires addressing a diverse set
 of perspectives related to environmental, economic, land-use planning, and
 social issues. A final section discusses the impacts of Ontario's
 Greenbelt Act and the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe on the
 link between housing and sustainability.

Title: Single-family housing and changing social profiles in former working-class areas: Madrid's south-western suburban ring as case study 
Abstract:
 In recent decades the development of the Madrid metropolitan region has
 been marked by a significant increase in urbanised land, which has
 expanded more than the effective population growth and demand. The
 traditional monocentric metropolitan model, which concentrated all the
 main activities in the capital city, has transformed and evolved towards a
 more deconcentrated pattern. Within this process, Madrid's south-western
 suburban ring represents a notable example of these transformations.
 Formerly characterised by lower-class dormitory towns, its social fabric
 and land uses now reflect a new post-suburban reality in which
 single-family housing is included as an emerging dwelling type
 representative of the upscale imagery of a part of the middle class.

Title: Demography-driven suburban decline? At the crossroads: mature single-family housing estates in Germany 
Abstract:
 Germany is one of the Western countries in which the impact of the second
 demographic transition is most apparent. Among many other effects on
 socioeconomic systems, demographic shrinkage will seriously challenge the
 housing market. Recent studies hypothesize that a demography-induced fall
 in demand could hit not only multi-storey residential buildings but also
 single-family housing estates. As yet, these claims are not based on
 convincing empirical evidence. Against this background, this paper aims to
 address the future perspectives of single-family homes based on 29 case
 studies and a mixed-methods quantitative and qualitative design. Although
 the analysed housing estates are still fully occupied, several local
 policy-makers and real estate experts report on market changes, with
 pressures on housing prices and a long-term risk of housing vacancies.
 Finally, the paper presents a framework of strategic action, comprising a
 range of measures that local authorities can take.

Title: Hidden density in single-family neighborhoods: backyard cottages as an equitable smart growth strategy 
Abstract:
 Secondary units, or separate small dwellings embedded within single-family
 residential properties, constitute a frequently overlooked strategy for
 urban infill in high-cost metropolitan areas in the United States. This
 study, which is situated within California's San Francisco Bay Area, draws
 upon data collected from a homeowners' survey and a Rental Market Analysis
 to provide evidence that a scaled-up strategy emphasizing one type of
 secondary unit - the backyard cottage - could yield substantial infill
 growth with minimal public subsidy. In addition, it is found that this
 strategy compares favorably in terms of affordability with infill of the
 sort traditionally favored in the 'smart growth' literature, i.e. the
 construction of dense multifamily housing developments.

Title: No more waiting for Superman: teaching DIY urbanism and reflexive practice 
Abstract:
 Self-made urbanity is not a new phenomenon. However, decades of economic
 restructuring and a neoliberalization of the city and state have made the
 public realm vulnerable to changes in the economic winds. Increasingly,
 such an environment poses limits to what can be done via formal planning
 and urban design processes while do-it-yourself (DIY) activities challenge
 basic assumptions of who and how spaces may be produced. We (the authors)
 have recognized this challenge and have worked to bring this awareness
 into our classroom. Through this paper, we illustrate how DIY approaches
 have been integrated into our interdisciplinary course, the Community
 Planning Workshop. We describe how the classroom environment can foster an
 appreciation for DIY approaches, how DIY practices bring the social and
 the physical into focus, and how grassroots' strategies have
 transformational impacts upon students and their understanding of the
 roles of design and planning professions.

Title: Iconic eyesores: exploring do-it-yourself preservation and civic improvement at abandoned train stations in Buffalo and Detroit 
Abstract:
 This inquiry documents two citizen-driven campaigns to reclaim iconic
 train stations and their adjacent landscapes, assessing their
 effectiveness as agents of preservation and civic improvement, and
 potential as catalysts for local development. Examining grassroots efforts
 to conserve and reuse Buffalo's Central Terminal and Detroit's Michigan
 Central Station and the adjacent Roosevelt Park, it considers a unique
 form of preservation practice - one devoid of significant public sector
 funding <italic>and</italic> the conventional market-based adaptive reuse
 strategies that are ineffective in declining settings. Driven by
 idiosyncratic collectives of residents, business owners, cultural
 entrepreneurs, artists, designers, and planners, these groups coalesce
 around a shared desire to conserve local landmarks and play an active role
 in the physical rebuilding of their cities. Their incremental and
 incomplete transformations are driven by an ethic that transcends both
 typical market-oriented targets (private sector profits or
 "pays-for-itself") and the "fully restored" end states that are the goals
 of conventional projects. While these acts of reclamation are far from
 complete, they have the potential to inform similar locally driven efforts
 in settings of decline.

Title: DIY urbanism: implications for cities 
Abstract:
 A burgeoning do-it-yourself (DIY) urbanism movement is gaining notice in
 American and global cities as amateur designers create and implement
 small-scale interventions in urban public spaces. While tactics vary
 widely and may have some benefits for certain users, they nonetheless have
 the potential to complicate careful and considered long-term planning and
 urban design strategies. This article describes the historical and recent
 precedents upon which the current DIY urbanism movement is built and
 evaluates DIY interventions in light of their implications for cities,
 particularly how cities might engage with DIY projects in ways that
 maximize their potential for positive change while meeting objectives such
 as public safety, equity, and adherence to long-range visions.

Title: 'We work it out': Roma settlements in Rome and the limits of do-it-yourself 
Abstract:
 This article examines forms of do-it-yourself (DIY) urbanism practised by
 two Roma communities in Rome. The groups live in self-made camps that
 exist in a legal limbo determined by municipal policies that fluctuate
 between 'tolerating' and threatening to demolish them. We argue that it is
 the simultaneous solidity and temporaneity of residents' DIY interventions
 that have delayed their eviction. We analyse how residents have sought to
 create dignified conditions through the informal architecture of their
 homes, to access water and electricity, and to create areas of beauty and
 safety around themselves. In doing so, they practice a form of tactical
 urbanism, generating environments for sociality and forging public spaces
 in apparent 'non-places': on a highway exchange and in a parking lot.
 Their DIY is accepted by the authorities as long as it is 'light', does
 not engage urban infrastructure and remains within abject locations.

Title: "Do it yourself" as an informal mode of space production: conceptualizing informality 
Abstract:
 The recently resurrected theories of the "right to the city" represent new
 paths for scholars in planning, urban, and social disciplines who are
 seeking to construct a new critical urban theory and to address the
 injustices, insecurity, poverty, and inequalities of contemporary cities.
 However, few studies have been conducted to determine whether the ideal of
 the right to the city can be achieved in practice or to identify the
 principal factors that limit and hinder its real achievement. This article
 considers the concept of urban self-determination, which addresses the
 urban problematic and strives to restructure the city using a normative,
 rights-based approach.

Title: Public/private urban interfaces: type, adaptation, assemblage 
Abstract:
 The public/private interface has long been recognized as a key issue in
 urban design theory. This article presents a typology for the mapping and
 analysis of urban interfaces - the typical ways in which private
 territories plug into public networks. Drawing on mappings of the mixed
 morphology of the Australian inner city, a simple typology of five primary
 interface types is articulated according to criteria of access, setback,
 transparency and mode of access. The interface is construed as a
 socio-spatial assemblage wherein types are diagrams of connectivity that
 enable the creation, production and reproduction of ideas, goods, services
 and identities. In the second part of the article we explore the complex
 dynamics of adaptation and transformation from one type to another. The
 article raises questions about the methodology and ontology of
 micro-spatial analysis in urban research, as well as the importance of
 interface connections to urban production, exchange and innovation.

Title: Assessing Baghdad universities: informative framework for relevant development plans 
Abstract:
 Alongside the destruction of most of Iraq's infrastructure, the country's
 education system has been severely damaged by war, sanctions and
 terrorism. To help effect the rebuilding of Baghdad's universities, the
 preliminary aim of this research is to assess their current status, and
 then to propose a comprehensive plan. To tackle the research problem,
 three universities were selected for the research setting. Data were
 gathered from written 'grey' material, and the research methodology was
 twofold: a descriptive method to assess environmental sustainability and
 an analytical method depending on 'space syntax' to assess urban
 structure. The comprehensive plan was divided into the core and the
 properties. The results revealed that Baghdad universities face an
 unbalanced urban structure and environmental obstacles, showing that their
 sites are both isolated from their urban surroundings and below
 environmental standards. The study concludes that an informative framework
 can improve understanding of the nature of these accumulative problems.

Title: Placemaking and disaster recovery: targeting place for recovery in post-Katrina New Orleans 
Abstract:
 One of the central strategies employed by the City of New Orleans to
 address the challenge of disaster recovery after Hurricane Katrina was a
 place-based strategy of targeted investments. This strategy sought to
 address the twin challenges of the punctuated disaster from Katrina and
 the slow-motion disaster of economic decline that pre-dated the storm. We
 analyze the key components of the geographic targeting program in New
 Orleans through a case study of a particular target in the Gentilly
 planning district of the city. The goal of the process was to utilize
 reinvigorated places to both encourage community reinvestment and deal
 with the underlying challenge of rebuilding in a more resilient manner.
 Target-area resources were never fully translated into dedicated resources
 for project implementation. We find that weak implementation and
 management capacity significantly limited the effectiveness of the
 targeting program in meeting place-based goals.

Title: The continuous expansion of Brazilian cities: the case of the city of Belo Horizonte 
Abstract:
 Large Brazilian cities present similar urban forms and development
 processes, despite the fact that some were implemented through different
 comprehensive plans, while still others were founded to serve a wide range
 of purposes. Apart from these differences, Brazilian cities have currently
 been experiencing considerable growth and territorial expansion. Planning
 processes have been put forward but have seldom been effectively
 implemented to form legal cities. This paper presents the characteristics
 of one Brazilian city, Belo Horizonte, which was designed 115 years ago to
 be the capital of the state of Minas Gerais and which is experiencing a
 similar process within its boundaries. However, the city's spacialization
 and administrative body are similar to all other Brazilian cities, by
 comparing results from applied norms. This allows Belo Horizonte to be
 selected as a symbol of these urban policies and products.

Title: Shifting the spotlight: suggesting a pragmatic approach to studying the Polish LGBT community 
Abstract:
 This research, based on a pilot survey distributed among representatives
 of the LGBT community in Poland, is aimed at initiating an academic debate
 on the future of the Polish LGBT population in the urban setting; gaining
 insight into perceptions of LGBT survey respondents about potential
 clustering preferences of the Polish LGBT population; and thus suggesting
 a framework for LGBT inclusion in the Polish urban economic and
 developmental plans, using Poznan, Poland, as an example. The pilot
 survey, distributed among a small sample group of LGBT individuals mostly
 from the city of Poznan, provides insight into attitudes that Polish LGBT
 individuals may have towards forming a dedicated LGBT district in a major
 city in Poland, and potential consumer preferences in housing arrangements
 and services that such a district should provide. More importantly, this
 research aims to spark further research into the relationship between
 urban environments and the LGBT community in Poland.

Title: Learning from new millennium science fiction cities 
Abstract:
 Fiction, and particularly current science fiction, (1) reflects, gives
 voice to, and may shape popular images of the city; (b) provides models of
 'world building' whose methods may complement and critique other methods
 of informing the design of cities; and (3) plays out poetically rich
 thought experiments - cities of feeling - that can help designers
 understand nuances of current urban design and architectural theory. This
 paper examines the urban landscapes of three 21st-century award-winning
 science fiction novels. These cities of the fictive imagination can inform
 the creation of cities of the design imagination.

Title: Smart growth and goods movement: emerging research agendas 
Abstract:
 While recent urban planning efforts have focused on the management of
 growth into developed areas, the research community has not examined the
 impacts of these development patterns on urban goods movement. Successful
 implementation of growth strategies has multiple environmental and social
 benefits but also raises the demand for intra-urban goods movement,
 potentially increasing conflicts between modes of travel and worsening air
 quality. Because urban goods movement is critical for economic vitality,
 understanding the relation between smart growth and goods movement is
 necessary in the development of appropriate policies.This paper reviews
 the academic literature and summarizes the results of six focus groups to
 identify gaps in the state of knowledge and suggest important future
 research topics in five sub-areas of smart growth related to goods
 movement: (1) access, parking, and loading zones; (2) road channelization
 and bicycle and pedestrian facilities; (3) land use; (4) logistics; and
 (5) network system management.

Title: Urban freight transport policies in Rome: lessons learned and the road ahead 
Abstract:
 Given that few studies have investigated the effects of implementing city
 logistics measures, this paper focuses on actions implemented in the inner
 area of Rome in the last 10 years in order to improve both livability and
 freight distribution, providing insights into the effectiveness of such
 measures. The analysis covers the famous inner area of the city where the
 main tourist monuments are located and includes several pedestrianized
 shopping streets. Evaluation is based on data collected in 1999 and 2008
 consisting of traffic counts and interviews with retailers and truck
 drivers. The implemented measures provided effective in abating
 through-traffic, in reducing the share of transport on own-account and in
 increasing the use of less polluting vehicles. Further, the increase in
 the number of stops per tour, in the average quantity delivered and hence
 in the average loading factor was revealed. Although all these changes
 improved the freight transport within the city, some critical issues
 remain and further measures have to be implemented.

Title: Understanding the impacts of integrating New Urbanist neighborhood and street design ideals with conventional traffic engineering standards: the case of Stapleton 
Abstract:
 This research considers the implications of building places that possess
 many of the qualities that make New Urbanism so desirable but also
 marginalizing them with other qualities that prioritize automobility to
 meet the demands of conventional traffic engineering standards. By
 examining the existing built environment of Stapleton - a New Urbanist
 development in Denver, Colorado - in terms of street network
 characteristics, street designs, and intersection designs, I investigate
 the inconsistencies of the resulting built environment with respect to the
 latest research and state-of-the-practice New Urbanism design ideals. The
 outcomes are then considered in terms of how people actually use the
 transportation system by way of vehicle speed studies and travel diaries.
 The trends suggest that mixing New Urbanist neighborhood and street design
 characteristics with conventional traffic engineering standards results in
 travel behaviors more consistent with conventional auto-oriented
 developments.

Title: Neighborhood formation in semi-urban settlements 
Abstract:
 Semi-urban settlements are places where large numbers of people come
 together, whether forcibly or voluntarily, in special-purpose settlements
 that lack many of the features characteristic of cities. This exploratory
 study examines 11 different types of semi-urban settlement from the
 present and the past and finds that neighborhoods are present as important
 social and spatial units in 10 of the types. This finding supports the
 notion that neighborhoods are fundamental and perhaps universal features
 of cities and semi-urban settlements. The following social drivers for
 neighborhood creation are identified in both formal and informal
 semi-urban settlements: defense, group preservation, sociality,
 convenience, administration, and control/surveillance. The results have
 implications for understanding urban and neighborhood dynamics in a wide
 range of cities and other settlements.

Title: The "neighborhood unit" on trial: a case study in the impacts of urban morphology 
Abstract:
 The organization of modern city planning into "neighborhood units" - most
 commonly associated with the Clarence Perry proposal of 1929 - has been
 enormously influential in the evolution of modern city form, and at the
 same time has also been the subject of intense controversy and debate that
 continues to the present day. New issues under debate include social and
 economic diversity, maintenance of viable pedestrian and public transit
 modes, viability of internalized community service hubs, and efficient use
 of energy and natural resources, including greenhouse gas emissions. We
 trace the history of this controversy up to the present day, and we
 discuss new developments that may point the way to needed reforms of best
 practice.

Title: Urban resilience: two diverging interpretations 
Abstract:
 This paper uses two diverging interpretations of resilience to review and
 assess current UK policies and guidelines for urban resilience, a term
 generally associated with the strength of key systems and cities and their
 capability to maintain functionality in the face of external shocks. Both
 developed in scientific studies, the first interpretation (engineering
 resilience) is based on a mechanistic model of systems that can recover
 their original state aftershocks, and the second (ecological resilience)
 is based on an evolutionary model enabling adaptation to disturbances.
 Through a literature review, practical applications to planning are
 discussed for each model in terms of long-term efficacy. The contribution
 of this paper to an understanding of urban resilience is therefore
 twofold. First, an identification of the long-term consequences on the
 built environment of the policies associated with each model is provided,
 with the mechanical model ultimately hindering, and the ecological model
 favouring, adaptation. Second, some approaches to generate effective
 responses to environmental and societal change are identified, together
 with enabling tools. Ultimately, this paper emphasizes that the idea of a
 resilient city is fit for this age characterized by uncertainty, although
 it requires the recognition within planning practice that urban adaptation
 cannot be attained with current methodologies, and that much can be
 learned from theories on the resilience of ecosystems.

Title: The metrics of street network connectivity: their inconsistencies 
Abstract:
 The concept of street connectivity has been gaining increasing appeal
 among researchers, planners, and planning authorities. In response, many
 connectivity metrics have been developed in an effort to understand better
 street network connectivity. This paper will study the effectiveness and
 consistency of three mainstream metrics - the Connectivity Index,
 Intersection Density, and Street Density - with respect to differences in
 study area and geometry. While these metrics are intended to be applied
 incrementally, this paper reveals that the metrics often fail to do this
 successfully. By controlling for many variables - including block size,
 block geometry, right-of-way size, network size, and network geometry -
 actual behaviors of these metrics deviate substantially from their
 intended behaviors. The metrics are non-linear functions of both study
 area and geometry and are ultimately inconsistent and unpredictable. In
 other words, each metric will yield inconsistent readings based upon the
 amount of area studied or the arrangement of the study boundary drawn.
 This has two major consequences: (1) the metrics will not produce the
 results desired as they are applied to incremental development; and (2)
 the metrics can be easily gamed by a developer privy to the information
 found within this paper. Neither of these outcomes is desirable in helping
 to better understand and potentially regulate street connectivity.

Title: Refining the grain: using resident-based walkability audits to better understand walkable urban form 
Abstract:
 Researchers use measures of street connectivity to assess neighborhood
 walkability, and many studies show a relationship between neighborhood
 design and walking activity. Yet, the core connectivity measures are based
 on constructs designed for analyzing automobile mobility - the street
 network - not pedestrian movement. This article examines the effect of a
 finer-grained characterization of street connectivity and illustrates the
 idea using parent ratings of street and intersection walkability for
 children throughout a suburban school district in Oregon. Several policy
 and practice recommendations are presented, including a discussion that
 extends Michael Southworth's foundational representation of streets and
 the walkable city using a refined, more pedestrian-centered approach to
 visualizing connectivity and walkable urban form.

Title: Retrofitting suburbia through second units: lessons from the Phoenix region 
Abstract:
 Planners are encouraging suburban homeowners to build second units to
 enable housing affordability, walkability, and aging in place. Yet, little
 is known about the viability of this approach for different types of
 suburbs. Based on planner interviews and zoning ordinance reviews in the
 Phoenix region, this article constructs a typology for identifying suburbs
 potentially amenable to using second units as a tool. Barriers that limit
 rezoning to allow for second units across the types include restrictive
 site requirements and fear of rental units. Arguments for aging in place
 may be more influential than those for housing affordability in leading
 suburbs in Phoenix and elsewhere to liberalize their regulations.

Title: Towards a sustainable transformation of the detached houses in peri-urban Flanders, Belgium 
Abstract:
 The housing stock in Flanders contains a significant share of detached
 dwellings. Recent demographical, economic and ecological developments,
 however, have induced a large demand for other housing types. This paper
 addresses the resulting issue of whether the adaptation of existing
 low-density neighbourhoods is possible, and hypothesizes that the presence
 of a certain NIMBY (not in my back yard) attitude among current residents
 might complicate any planning efforts that would bring about fundamentally
 different spatial patterns. The paper offers an analysis of the existing
 residential patterns, focusing on the presence of underused housing. This
 analytical part is complemented by qualitative research into the
 acceptability of different possible scenarios at the neighbourhood level.
 Three distinct strategies have been elaborated for discussion with
 homeowners. The paper concludes that a top-down projection of
 transformative strategies needs to be brought into balance with interests
 of residents, thus capitalizing on an 'overarching interest', bringing
 into play an alliance of different tendencies.

Title: Towards topographically sensitive urbanism: re-envisioning earthwork terracing in suburban development 
Abstract:
 The expanding peripheries of many cities in Australia and North America
 increasingly encroach into steep terrain. Prevailing 20th-century urban
 models have exerted a negligible influence in this environment where
 large-scale earthmoving techniques facilitate flat-land suburban
 morphologies irrespective of the site. In steeper terrain this practice
 results in engineered 'benched' landscapes comprising flat building pads
 interspersed with high retaining walls or embankments. Given the currently
 disparate nature of research on this practice, the article establishes a
 framework for incorporating greater topographical sensitivity into the
 sustainable design and planning of suburban landscapes. Drawing on
 examples from the Bay Area (California) and Perth (Western Australia), the
 paper: (1) overviews the root causes of suburban topographic benching, (2)
 outlines key negative ecological and psychological consequences of this
 practice, and (3) discusses mechanisms for fostering more topographically
 responsive design at the three scales of architectural typology, diversity
 of lot size, and street layout.

Title: Landscape (and) urbanism? Engaging Nolli 
Abstract:
 Landscape urbanism is articulated against the purported failures of
 traditional urban design practices to conceptualize adequately the
 transience, adaptability, and ecological complexity demanded by
 contemporary urbanism. This paper engages Giambattista Nolli's 1748 map of
 Rome, a seminal example of the figure ground representational method, to
 highlight some contradictions in landscape urbanism's texts and projects.
 Whereas the figure ground is often reduced to a binary black and white
 image, Nolli's map illustrates the intertwining of public and private
 spaces, through rendering detailed attributes of site, infrastructure,
 history, and architecture. Also considered is the assertive restructuring
 of disciplinary influence within what Linda Pollak identifies as
 'constructed ground.' This reclamation constitutes a re-territorializing
 of landscape architecture through re-engagement of the urban fabric, as
 well as the more aspirational and necessary re-territorializing of design
 through intentional consideration of ecological complexity in the making
 of public urban spaces.

Title: Re-theorising contemporary public space: a new narrative and a new normative 
Abstract:
 The global public spaces literature has been critical of contemporary
 manifestations of public space on a number of grounds. This article
 reports on a research project that attempted to gauge the validity of
 these critiques through an examination of new and regenerated public
 spaces in London. The article introduces the dominant critiques around
 public space before outlining the mixed-methods approach used to
 interrogate them. The key findings from this work are summarised before
 the nature of contemporary public space is re-theorised in a more avowedly
 positive and pragmatic manner than is often the case, one that celebrates
 a return of a public spaces paradigm through tentatively advancing a new
 narrative and set of normative principles for public space generation. The
 work concludes that a more balanced view of public space is required, one
 that recognises the multiple complex types, roles and audiences for public
 spaces in cities today.

Title: Temporary urbanism and urban sustainability after a natural disaster: transitional community-initiated open spaces in Christchurch, New Zealand 
Abstract:
 Temporary uses of vacant urban spaces are usually not foreseen in
 conventional urban planning and have often been linked to economic or
 political disturbances. In New Zealand, Christchurch's vacant spaces came
 into existence after the city was hit by several devastating earthquakes
 in 2010 and 2011. Parallel to the 'official' rebuild discourse, temporary
 uses have emerged on vacant post-earthquake sites including community
 gardens, urban agriculture, art installations, event venues, eateries and
 cafés, and pocket parks. Based on the review and analysis of exemplary
 transitional community-initiated open spaces and correlated literature,
 the paper looks at how the post-disaster urban context in Christchurch has
 influenced particular aspects of temporary urbanism in comparison with
 case studies in non-disaster environments. By focusing on the anticipated
 benefits of community-initiated open spaces, the paper discusses the
 relevance of temporary uses of vacant urban spaces for urban
 sustainability in relationship to concepts of community resilience and
 raises questions about possible long-term values.

Title: How brownfield sites kill places and people: an examination of neighborhood housing values, foreclosures, and lifespan 
Abstract:
 This study examines the effects of Environmental Protection Agency
 brownfield sites on housing values, foreclosures, and premature deaths in
 Louisville, Kentucky, between 2000 and 2008. While previous research has
 focused on the impacts of brownfield sites on neighborhood housing values,
 little research has been done on the impact of these hazardous sites on
 foreclosures and premature deaths. We utilize ordinary least squares
 regression to analyze the net impact of brownfield sites on neighborhoods.
 We find a significant association between brownfield sites and lower
 neighborhood property values, and increased foreclosures and premature
 deaths. Furthermore, using a case study of Louisville&#x2019;s East
 Russell neighborhood, we demonstrate the possible benefits of a brownfield
 site remediation. Based upon the findings from the regression and the case
 study, we offer policy prescriptions that help address the fiscal and
 social costs of brownfield sites.

Title: Complexity in urban agriculture: the role of landscape typologies in promoting urban agriculture&#x2019;s growth 
Abstract:
 This research identifies the potential shortcomings of local initiatives
 to encourage urban agriculture projects by comparing citywide efforts with
 existing community projects. It investigates how more effectual policy
 might be developed to accommodate a fuller range of urban agriculture
 projects, and how urban agriculture stakeholders might use clearer
 promotion processes to meet stated goals. It hypothesizes the important
 role of clear urban agriculture definitions, typologies, and links to
 associated benefits towards meeting the stated goals of policy-makers.
 Utilizing San Francisco in California as a case study, this paper
 investigates recent efforts at citywide urban agriculture promotion.

Title: Clandestine urbanization: reconstituting urban space in the margins of the Phoenix metropolitan area 
Abstract:
 This paper illustrates everyday practices of a marginalized population in
 areas of interrupted urbanization. These practices arise from the
 coincidence of an urban form produced and reproduced according to a
 Fordist logic of mass production for mass consumption and a Post-Fordist
 society with diverse needs. The paper focuses on practices that, while
 reconstituting needed urban elements, remain nevertheless unsanctioned
 because of a rigid imaginary of how urban space ought to be lived. These
 practices exemplify how residents respond to existing material and
 institutional restrictions by adopting hidden and clandestine forms of
 urbanization that allow them to reconstitute their urban space. The
 Phoenix metropolitan region is used to illustrate these responses. The
 paper concludes with a call for a form of urban planning that is more
 adaptive and responsive to residents&#x2019; needs, aspirations, and
 desires.

Title: Improving walkability for seniors through accessibility to food stores: a study of three areas of Greater Montreal 
Abstract:
 The aging of suburbs requires that pedestrian accessibility be favored in
 this type of environment, because walking is a key element in the quality
 of life of seniors. This article analyzes the potential for accessibility
 by foot in three inner suburbs of the Greater Montreal Area. Accessibility
 was calculated using walking distances throughout the street network. This
 analysis was complemented by an observation of physical-spatial
 characteristics likely to affect walking among seniors. Pedestrian
 accessibility is influenced not only by long travel distances but also by
 various obstacles that result from land-use decisions in favor of
 motorized travel on a regional scale. This article reveals the necessity
 for urban planners to find a balance between local accessibility by foot
 and public transit, and regional accessibility by motorized transport.

Title: Polycentrism as a sustainable development strategy: empirical analysis from the state of Maryland 
Abstract:
 We present in this paper an analysis of economic centers and their role in
 shaping employment development patterns and travel behavior in the state
 of Maryland. We begin by identifying 23 economic centers in the
 Baltimore-Washington region. We then examine these centers first in their
 role as centers of economic activity and then in their role as nodes in
 the state&#x2019;s transportation system. Finally, we identify the commute
 sheds of each center, for multiple modes of travel and travel times, and
 examine jobs--housing balance within these various commute sheds. We find
 that Maryland&#x2019;s economic centers not only promote agglomerative
 economies and thus facilitate economic growth; they also generate a
 disproportionate number of trips and promote transit ridership. These
 results provide empirical support for policies that promote polycentric
 urban development, and especially policies that promote polycentric
 <italic>employment</italic> development. Further, they suggest that
 polycentrism as a sustainable development strategy requires careful
 coordination of regional transportation systems designed to balance jobs
 and housing within a center&#x2019;s transit commute shed. Based on these
 findings we recommend that the Maryland state development plan, and
 regional sustainable communities plans across the nation, encourage the
 concentration of employment within economic centers and encourage housing
 development within the transit commute sheds of those centers.

Title: Delai Sam: social activism as contemporary art in the emerging discourse of DIY urbanism in Russia 
Abstract:
 <italic>Delai sam</italic> (do it yourself) is a deeply rooted phenomenon
 in Russian life. However, as a form of contemporary art, this phenomenon
 has taken on an activist tenor in post-socialist urban Russia. Founded in
 2010, the Delai Sam Festival of Urban Actions represents a politicized
 approach to DIY urbanism in today&#x2019;s Russia, in which artists,
 designers, activists and scholars are joining together to develop
 alternatives to official visions for the design and planning of their
 cities. This article critically examines the discourse of the first few
 Delai Sam festivals in Moscow and Saint Petersburg, and related urban
 interventions, to understand how these actions are both situated within
 their local context, and linked discursively to global trends in art and
 urban activism. DIY actions like Delai Sam open windows into the
 convergence of art and social activism, the aesthetic and the political,
 currently taking shape within the global city.

Title: The formalities of informal improvement: technical and scholarly knowledge at work in do-it-yourself urban design 
Abstract:
 Unauthorized yet functional and civic-minded &#x201c;do-it-yourself urban
 design&#x201d; contributions have seen growing interest in recent years.
 Authorities and community members alike rightfully wonder about the
 meanings of these actions and the questions they raise about rights,
 responsibilities, contexts, and consequences. Building from a multi-year
 study of DIY urban design across 17 cities, this paper focuses on the
 backgrounds and methods of these would-be local improvers. In particular,
 it demonstrates that many are informed by sophisticated knowledge of
 scholarly urban theory and official planning and design standards.
 Referencing debates on informality and formality in urbanism, I show that
 highly technical, academic, and formalized elements pervade these informal
 efforts, suggesting a gray area in our normative assumptions about
 official versus unauthorized placemaking. I argue that this knowledge
 enables and inspires many do-it-yourselfers&#x2019; actions and produces a
 complex and potentially problematic reflexivity around their place in the
 city and their potential impacts.

Title: Large-scale tactical urbanism: the Denver bike share system 
Abstract:
 How did one of the most historically automobile-dependent US cities end up
 with the first large-scale modern US bike-sharing system? The story
 reveals that it is less about transportation demand planning and
 engineering and more about the principles of what has been termed
 <italic>tactical urbanism</italic>. The tactical urbanism movement
 revolves around the idea that temporary interventions can help one
 understand what interventions might work in a particular context and lay
 the foundation for more permanent ones. That the first large-scale
 bike-sharing system in the US began as such an intervention is quite
 remarkable and illustrative of the potential of this strategy to build
 public aspiration and political will via temporary, short-term empirical
 success. Beginning with preparations for the 2008 Democratic National
 Convention (DNC) in Denver, Colorado, this paper details what went into
 creating the temporary Freewheel!n bike-share system and how that was able
 to be leveraged into a permanent bike-sharing system, Denver B-Cycle, two
 years later. Consistent with the characteristics of tactical urbanism, the
 partnerships formed with the temporary DNC implementation served as a
 catalyst. The paper then identifies lessons that other cities can learn
 and apply in similar large-scale tactical urbanism interventions.

Title: Trial-and-error urbanism: addressing obduracy, uncertainty and complexity in urban planning and design 
Abstract:
 This article argues that sustainable and communal neighborhoods could be
 significantly more common in North America if development practices
 addressed the barriers posed by sociotechnical obduracy and the inevitable
 limitations of expertise through expanded opportunities for
 experimentation. In reconceptualizing the problems faced by alternative
 urbanisms through the lens of science and technology studies, I explore
 how the intelligent trial-and-error (ITE) framework for governing emerging
 technologies could be extended to partially address the barriers of
 obduracy, uncertainty and complexity when pursuing alternative urban
 designs. An examination of how <italic>Baugruppen</italic> (cooperative
 building groups) were integrated into the planning process of Quartier
 Vauban, Freiburg, is used to illustrate both the potentials and a concrete
 application of an ITE-like approach. I then discuss some of the barriers
 to an ITE model of urban planning in North America and recommend further
 research at the intersection of urban studies and science and technology
 studies.

Title: Claiming participation -- a comparative analysis of DIY urbanism in Denmark 
Abstract:
 The article discuss the conflicts, potentials and possible alliances of
 do-it-yourself (DIY) urbanism when it takes the form of spontaneous place
 appropriations, when it is performed as participatory urban design and
 when it is integrated strategically in planning. DIY urbanism and
 experimentation with participation are currently strong influential
 factors in Danish planning. The article explores the use of participatory
 DIY urban design in two cases: the relocation of beer drinkers in Enghave
 Square and the Carlsberg City development in Copenhagen, Denmark.
 Carlsberg City is the most thorough Danish example of how DIY urban design
 is employed as an investment and planning tool. It discusses the
 implications of DIY urbanism in terms of how it can be understood in the
 context of the struggles over &#x2018;the right to the city&#x2019;, how
 it applies different activist tactics for the appropriation of space, and
 how it is integrated in planning and the development logic.

Title: Against a de-politicized DIY urbanism: Food Not Bombs and the struggle over public space 
Abstract:
 Cultivated by non-professionals, do-it-yourself (DIY) interventions in
 urban space are gaining serious credibility in the professional design
 fields. But as these professionals take up the flag of small-scale and
 social justice-inspired action in design handbooks and art exhibits, what
 happens to the struggles that informed the tactics? This article presents
 the DIY urban tactics of Food Not Bombs as a counter case study that
 problematizes the recent professional attention given to DIY, tactical or
 spontaneous urbanism. Forged in a struggle against the structural violence
 of capitalism, and based in the use of public space for community meals,
 Food Not Bombs challenges de-politicized notions of tactical or DIY
 urbanism.

Title: Sense of place: inquiry and application 
Abstract:
 &#x2018;Sense of place&#x2019; is a fundamental, yet presumptive concept
 within the planning and design disciplines. Professional theories have
 largely remained focused on the physical aspects of place, as this is
 their primary mode of production. However, the academic literature
 suggests that sense of place is a multidimensional concept that extends
 beyond the physical attributes of a given location. A thorough literature
 review reveals that sense of place is influenced by four primary
 dimensions. It is argued that this theoretical perspective can better
 inform the transformation of space into place by linking each dimension
 with specific design processes.

Title: Unveiling Vegas: urbanism at the nexus of private profit and public policy 
Abstract:
 In the capitalist economy of the United States, the material city is
 largely built by the private sector, especially investors, developers, and
 builders. How does public policy interface with this private dynamic of
 the contemporary American city? The purpose of this article is to craft an
 empirical analysis of the private/public interface of one of the most
 high-profile projects of the early 21st century: CityCenter in Las Vegas,
 Nevada. Based on site visits, visual documentation, interviews, and
 analysis of government documents and other reports, the article
 demonstrates how the role of public policy is in fact shaped by private
 initiatives, corporate discourse, and profit motives at the cost of public
 benefits. The article concludes with insights into the process of
 urbanism, including how intertwined the private and public realms actually
 are, and ways in which the benefits of urban projects are unevenly
 distributed through this private profit/public policy nexus.

Title: Affordable housing in National Register districts: recognizing the advantages of historic urban neighborhoods in Louisville and Covington, Kentucky, USA 
Abstract:
 This paper draws attention to the public policy opportunities created by
 the spatial characteristics of urban historic districts. Using the
 Kentucky cities of Louisville and Covington as case studies, the research
 uses geographic information systems (GIS) to demonstrate that Low Income
 Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) units developed in historic districts listed on
 the National Register of Historic Places are closer to libraries, transit
 stops, parks, and schools than are LIHTC units developed in

 particularly relevant for policy-makers adopting a neighborhood-oriented
 approach to improving the quality of affordable housing, and for those
 seeking strategies for bringing new life to declining urban areas.

Title: Informal settlement upgrading policies in Egypt: towards improvement in the upgrading process 
Abstract:
 The problem of informal settlements in Egypt is one of the most serious
 problems due to its economic, social and security impacts which influence
 the safety and stability of the Egyptian society. Due to inadequacies in
 planning, management and provision of basic urban infrastructure and
 services, the urbanization process is taking place in a haphazard manner
 with no control and regulation. The growth of informal areas has become a
 natural indicator of the process of the country&#x2019;s urbanization. It
 is essential that at least 40% of the urban population lives in informal
 areas. This paper aims to evaluate the urban upgrading process in Egypt by
 taking the policy issue of upgrading the informal settlements as an
 instance in order to provide some practical actions and strategies that
 could help to advance effectively urban upgrading process towards
 achieving more improvements in the upgrading process.

Title: Challenges and opportunities for participatory planning approaches within Dubai&#x2019;s urban context 
Abstract:
 Dubai has been in the midst of a profound physical transformation,
 radically affecting the lives of residents and newcomers. Within US and
 European models of planning, the rapid change Dubai is experiencing calls
 for public involvement in charting the city&#x2019;s future. However,
 Dubai&#x2019;s neo-patrimonial governance concentrates planning decisions
 into the hands of trusted elites, lacking public participation. How might
 a participatory approach to planning be successfully implemented in Dubai?
 First, this article applies Delphi to obtain experts&#x2019; knowledge
 about the feasibility of implementing a participatory planning approach in
 Dubai. Second, the first author interviewed government officials to
 identify constraints for implementing strategies intended to widen public
 participation. Last, recommendations for the implementation of a more
 transparent approach to planning are provided. The article concludes with
 questions that explore the challenges associated with participation in
 planning decision-making specifically for neo-patrimonial systems.

Title: A typological approach to planning
Abstract: 
 The concept of typological processes has been used to study the course of urban form change. Despite increasing research interest in its theory and practice, it has been slow to receive clear empirical support and its application in planning remains limited. Major cities in New Zealand are under great pressure for change. This paper illustrates a typological investigation of the spatial structure of urban areas in Auckland. It reveals that the forms created in one period are different from those created in another. Stratified over time, similar types thereby generate distinct urban tissues. Traditionally, the dominant urban-tissue types in a new period of urban development are conceived from the dominant types of an earlier period. The research findings are used to support an alternative planning strategy that aims to achieve built environments that can adapt to changing demands in the future whilst retaining much-valued established character.

Title: New housing patterns and spatial fragmentation in Gulf cities
Abstract: 
 In recent years, the rapid growth of Gulf cities has led to a transformation of local settlement structures. The key objective of this paper is to deliver an overview of new housing patterns and how they impact spatial fragmentation. To identify the spatial distribution of new housing typologies and to explore the recent transformation of urban fabrics, GIS analyses were carried out and Space Syntax models were developed in the case of Qatar’s capital, Doha. This is coupled with an analysis of the travel routes of 130 residents which were assessed to investigate key aspects related to fragmentation. The outcomes include both new insights into the understanding of urban development tendencies in Gulf cities and the introduction of a methodological approach to establish responsive strategies in fast-growing and car-dependent cities.

Title: An historico-geographical theory of urban form
Abstract: 
 Urban morphology is the study of the physical form of cities and of the agents and processes shaping its transformation over time. One of the most prominent approaches in the urban morphological debate is the historico-geographical approach. While the core of this approach is based on the seminal work that MRG Conzen developed after the late 1950s, it was JWR Whitehand who, mainly after the late 1970s, started structuring an innovative school of urban morphological thought grounded on that invaluable basis. Over the last decades, Whitehand has been a key contributor to the definition of urban morphology as a field of knowledge and, within it, to the establishment of the historico-geographical approach, proposing and refining a number of morphological theories, concepts and methods.

Title: Inventing what Millennials want downtown: housing the urban generation in low-density metropolitan regions
Abstract: 
 Evidence is growing that a large subset of U.S. Millennials prefers to live in walkable communities near amenities. Yet, we know relatively little about how developers are translating Millennial preferences into “sticks and bricks.” This research helps fill the gap by exploring how real estate developers are cementing Millennial preferences into housing developments located downtown in the low-density metropolitan regions of Phoenix and Houston. Using data from the U.S. Census, regional media, and expert interviews, we find that developers perceive Millennials as needing housing that is authentic, flexible, socially conscious, and provides an inside/out, constantly connected lifestyle. These developers have incorporated these perceptions into new downtown projects through innovative building design and site selection, which has generated more urban housing options in the Phoenix and Houston regions, while also raising concerns about regulatory threats, Millennials’ ability (and desire) to age in place, and social equity.

Title: Walkability vs. walking: assessing outcomes of walkability at Southeast False Creek, Vancouver, Canada
Abstract: 
 If a neighbourhood is designed and built according to best practices for walkable neighbourhood design, will people respond and walk in the public realm? This was a narrowly focused case study of a brownfield redevelopment in Vancouver, Canada, intentionally designed to be highly walkable. Methods included a Walk Score® analysis, both in-person and video observational studies of people using three public spaces over a nine-month period, supplemented with questionnaires. Observational studies and questionnaires revealed high numbers of people using the public spaces for walking and active mobility throughout the year in all weather conditions, validating a very high Walk Score®. However, the study also uncovered unexpected patterns of walking and motivations for walking, which reveals the value of post-occupancy observational and survey studies to fully understand how specific attributes of the neighbourhood landscape may significantly change what people value and how they use the public realm.

Title: Determinants of perceived insecurity in a low-income neighborhood in Accra, Ghana
Abstract: 
 This study examines perception of safety and security, factors that influence this perception and the consequences of feeling insecure within Nima, a low-income neighborhood in Accra, Ghana. The study is important because previous studies on crime and insecurity in urban areas in Ghana have concentrated on inter-urban analysis, with limited attention given to the safety and security dynamics within a particular neighborhood. Our study thus provides an insider perspective on security and safety issues in the Nima neighborhood. A mixed-methods approach was used in both the data collection and analysis of the results. The study found that a majority of the respondents perceived Nima to be safe, which is contrary to outsiders’ perception and media reports about the neighborhood. For those who had some safety concerns, it was revealed that their safety concerns were largely accounted for by neighborhood-level factors such as availability of street lights and social cohesion and these contributed to behavioral and psychological reactions to feelings of insecurity among some respondents. We argue that addressing safety concerns of individuals will be more effective if broader structural issues are addressed in the neighborhood.

Title: Serendipitous conservation: faith-to-faith conversion of historic churches in Buffalo
Abstract: 
 US cities with shrinking populations have faced tremendous challenges in conserving their built heritage. Often, conservation work involves adaptively reusing existing buildings. Most reuse activity is fuelled by the developer and market-driven rehabilitation of historic properties through tax credits and other incentives. Places of worship like churches, however, are difficult to rehabilitate, and cities lose this urban heritage after years of vacancy and neglect, and eventual demolition. In many shrinking cities, particularly those now welcoming new immigrants and refugees, serendipitous conservation of vacant churches through faith-to-faith conversion can be an asset to local planners and preservationists in their fight to save urban heritage from demolition. This paper examines two former Roman Catholic Churches in the City of Buffalo: one converted into an Islamic mosque, and another into a Buddhist temple, to argue that faith-to-faith conversions can be a viable tool for other US cities experiencing similar threats to their urban heritage.

Title: Home touring as hospitable urbanism
Abstract: 
 This paper twins theories of urbanism and feminist hospitality in exploring the practice of historic home touring as demonstrative of hospitable urbanism, an ethical opening of self and neighborhood to strangers. In Phoenix, Arizona, the quintessential “ahistorical” sprawling metropolis, historic home touring is particularly evocative. With 35 residential historic districts covering much of the central city, Phoenix boasts an entire home tour season each spring. I consider the opening of private homes to the public a gesture of urban welcome critical in tempering the exclusionary tendencies of historic districts. Such seemingly minor practices are increasingly perceived as consequential in generating (or foreclosing) lived community amid difference (gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, migration status, religion, etc.). Without striving toward openness, vulnerability, and inclusion, urban communities risk becoming shuttered, sterile, and disconnected from public life. However brief or atmospheric, a gesture of urban welcome requires the consideration of strangers in the first place.

Title: How participatory processes impact children and contribute to planning: a case study of neighborhood design from Boulder, Colorado, USA
Abstract: 
 Young people have much to offer urban planning, yet are not often included in such processes. A unique partnership in Boulder, Colorado, provides a venue for young people’s participation in city planning. Boulder is in many ways a learning laboratory with progressive ideals and sustainability thinking. As the city began planning for its Comprehensive Housing Strategy, tensions about the future of density within the city emerged. Participatory planning can have significant impacts on children and can also contribute new ideas to planning processes. In this study, young people demonstrated attitudinal changes toward government, increased recognition of diverse needs within a city, and integration of social and environmental sustainability into their recommendations for neighborhood planning.

Title: Mapping urban assemblages: the production of spatial knowledge
Abstract: 
 This paper engages with the ontology and epistemology of urban mapping. While geographical information system (GIS) and other digital technologies have long transformed the capacities for representation of urban data, this paper explores the capacity of mapping to produce new ways of seeing, understanding, planning and designing the city. With a primary focus on urban morphology, distinctions and overlaps between mapping, diagramming, planning and designing are articulated within a framework of assemblage thinking. Through cases drawn from urban design research, we analyse the mapping of political conflict, transport flows, functional mix and informal settlement. It is argued that urban mapping is a form of spatial knowledge production that is often diagrammatic, embodying a spatial logic that cannot be reduced to words and numbers. Urban mapping constructs interconnections between the ways the city is perceived, conceived and lived; and it can reveal capacities for urban transformation – the city as a space of possibility.

Title: Housing at the neighbourhood level: a review of the initial approaches to neighbourhood development plans under the Localism Act 2011 in England
Abstract: 
 The Localism Act 2011 created an opportunity for local communities to form neighbourhood forums and to prepare their own neighbourhood development plans in urban and rural areas in England. Initial reactions suggested that, rather than leading to the development of more housing, these initiatives would confirm all the stereotypes of local residents blocking unwanted development in their defined neighbourhoods. However, neighbourhood plans need to be in general conformity with the core strategies of higher-tier plans and often make provision for more new homes than planned before 2011. This article discusses the role and purpose of neighbourhood plans, the evidence base on which they are founded and some of the legal challenges which have helped clarify procedures. It then identifies two types of plan based on the ways housing strategies and evidence of need are reflected in a sample of 10 plans which have been made to date. It concludes that the voluntary nature of localism to date tends to favour more rural and affluent areas and ends with an assessment of the impact of neighbourhood plans on the planning process. It suggests that the implications for spatial planning may be far-reaching.

Title: Re-sensing Las Vegas: aesthetic entrepreneurship and local urban culture
Abstract: 
 Cities are dense, sensory environments that provide various stimuli that require interpretation and representation. The embodied sensuous lived experience of urban life, however, is much more dynamic and fluid than any one representation can encompass. A conflict often emerges between the dominant image of a city and what actually happens in it. As such, this creates a tension about a city’s ‘sense of place.’ I employ the notion of ‘aesthetic entrepreneurship’ to designate the practices of certain individuals who seek to create new senses of place in the face of opposition or in times of social crisis. I explore the ways aesthetic entrepreneurs have used sensory knowledge to create alternative narratives and images of Las Vegas after the economic crash of 2008. Each of the aesthetic entrepreneurs discussed here has actively sought to develop a new sense of place for a city popularly defined by its dominant neon imagery.

Title: Integrating “standard” residents into “non-standard” communities: a longitudinal analysis of social capital in a new urbanist development
Abstract: 
 This article examines how levels of social capital in a new urbanist community change over time. We collected demographic and social capital data in a new urbanist community in 2001 and then again in 2010. The findings indicate that this community experienced an overall decline in social capital over this nine-year period. Additionally, we found that while residents new to the community were less concerned with social capital than long-term residents in the community, the latter group had also declined significantly in their levels of social capital. Overall, the results suggest that planners of new urbanist and other intentional communities should consider the impact of changing demographics when designing new subdivisions. Most importantly, residents and community leaders need to consider alternative means by which social capital can be retained as new residents are integrated into established communities.

Title: Eye-tracking technology, visual preference surveys, and urban design: preliminary evidence of an effective methodology
Abstract: 
 Urban planners and designers use visual preference surveys to gather public opinion on potential designs for developments. Using eye-tracking technology, we administered a visual preference survey to a convenience sample to evaluate quantitatively the ways in which individuals process and rank images used in public settings for urban planning. We combined both a subjective qualitative analysis with quantitative evaluation of the eye-tracking data. The analysis largely confirms that various new urbanist components of the images, namely people, pedestrian features, and greenery, lead to higher rankings. Images with cars and parking receive negative rankings. Buildings, which are a key component of architectural design, had mixed results. The analysis demonstrates the efficacy of visual preference surveys. We show a way for transportation and urban planners to extract greater value from visual preference surveys, consistent with efforts to increase pedestrian activity while reducing motor vehicle traffic in cities.

Title: Talking TOD: learning about transit-oriented development in the United States, Canada, and the Netherlands
Abstract: 
 City and regional governments in North America and the Netherlands are implementing transit-oriented development (TOD) policies to provide residents with accessible and compact communities that are socially, environmentally, and economically sustainable. Through 13 in-depth semi-structured interviews with planners and transportation professionals in the United States, Canada, and the Netherlands, this study attempts to identify the factors that practitioners in these regions determine to be essential for the post-development success of TOD. Our analysis reveals that seven key elements contribute to the success of TOD which are approached differently by planners in the three regions. The study concludes by suggesting ways in which professionals could integrate land use and transportation projects based on planning for flexibility, accessibility, and collaboration.

Title: Urban development around bus rapid transit stops in seven cities in Latin-America
Abstract: 
 Although bus rapid transit (BRT) has become a popular transportation innovation worldwide, little is known about the built environment around the stops of these systems. A typology of urban development around 81 BRT stops in 7 cities in Latin America was developed and their daily BRT ridership examined. Primary and secondary data collected around the stops were the basis for factor and cluster analyses. Ten stop types were identified, with some types including attributes consistent with expectations of transit-oriented development areas. Other stops captured conditions prevalent in many cities in Latin America: mixed land uses, informal housing distant from activity nodes, large commercial developments, and a relative absence of green spaces open to the public. Confirming expectations, stop types with a higher transit orientation were more likely to have higher ridership than other stops such as those burdened by incompatible land uses and barriers to station access.

Title: Little Free Libraries: an examination of micro-urbanist interventions
Abstract: 
 Micro-urban interventions at the smallest scales represent a challenge for planners concerned with social justice and urban theory. This paper seeks to contribute to the understanding of micro-urbanism through an exploration of the Little Free Library phenomenon. Two case studies in Madison, Wisconsin and Santa Ana, California provide data for a combined quantitative and qualitative analysis that together support a complicated view of the phenomenon and offer insights into urban theory. In particular, the article proposes that Little Free Libraries represent micro-urbanist actions, which can be analyzed according to a theoretical terrain that often blurs the boundaries between “do-it-yourself,” tactical, and guerrilla urbanism. Our research supports the view that micro-urban interventions can take on different forms as either a grassroots contribution to resolving urban problems or a bottom-up effort reinforcing existing and developing spatial inequities.

Title: The structural variability of quarters and residential areas in the historical texture of the city of Yazd based on Islamic rules and jurisprudence: a case study of Golchinan quarter
Abstract: 
 According to many researchers and scholars, religious beliefs can be considered as the most influential factor in forming Muslim urban spaces and their architectural elements. In fact, historical cities reflect the culture and beliefs of their residences. Among all historical places in Iranian cities, the historical texture of the city of Yazd, especially the quarters since the age of Qajar dynasty, are well preserved. The present study aims at identifying the Islamic principles and values influencing the formation of architectural spaces and the extent of their applications in one of the historical quarters known as Golchinan. The results of the conformation of the theoretical findings with the data acquired from field studies revealed that almost 90% of the urban and architectural spaces (e.g. residential areas, mosques, bazaars, and pathways) in Yazd are directly influenced by Islamic principles. In other words, there is a strong conformity between the accepted Islamic values of the society and what actually was applied to urban constructions during Qajar dynasty.

Title: Residential preferences, transit accessibility and social equity: insights from the Denver region
Abstract: 
 Our work exploring preferences of Denver metropolitan area households in deciding where to live provides important insights for regions seeking to leverage investments in transit and promote social equity through transit-oriented communities (TOC). Through a choice-based approach, we find evidence of widespread support for characteristics of TOC, with similar preferences for transit- and pedestrian-accessible environments among low-income and more affluent households. However, despite similar preferences, we find that affluent households moved to station areas after the arrival of light rail in much larger proportions than low-income households, pointing to trends consistent with local and national evidence of increased housing prices (and, likely, gentrification) near transit. If these trends continue without additional supplies of housing affordable to low- and moderate-income households in transit-rich neighbourhoods, those who are most likely to benefit from and use transit are likely to face increasing difficulty in realising preferences for TOC.

Title: The economic impact of one to two-way street conversions: advancing a context-sensitive framework
Abstract: 
 As many communities across the US convert one-way streets to two-way traffic flow, a growing body of work seeks to understand the implications. While some work indicates that there can be road safety and performance benefits to these conversions, only a small number of papers deal with the economic implications. This paper examines the economic impact of one to two-way street conversions, using six case studies between 2004 and 2011. Researchers analyzed these cases, looking at relative job growth in conversion areas as compared to the local economy on both an aggregate and job sector basis. These data are then compared with relative income growth and an evaluation of qualitative outcomes. The results illustrate that investment streetscape improvements may have benefit particularly for arts and entertainment sectors, but also need to connect to larger economic development and livability strategy.

Title: “A tapestry without instructions.” Lived experiences of community in an outer suburb of Melbourne, Australia
Abstract: 
 The suburbs located on the metropolitan edges of Australian cities are popular residential locations, but concerns have been raised about social isolation in these developing communities. This paper explores residents’ lived experiences of community in an outer-suburb of Melbourne using a phenomenological approach and photo-elicited interviews. Nine participants photographed positive and less favourable aspects of their suburb and these images were used to guide in-depth interviews. Findings indicated that participants’ views on what it meant to be a community and how they went about making social connections did not align exclusively with concepts of community saved, lost or liberated, but included broad aspirations around community building, helping and being helped by strangers and online place-based relationships. Overall, residents’ experiences were complex suggesting researchers, government and developers alike need to pay closer attention to how residents themselves create community in new and evolving suburbs.

Title: The significance of the subsurface in urban renewal
Abstract: 
 The subsurface is a technical space, the “engine room of the city,” that incorporates the vital functions of water and energy supply, communication systems, sewers and drainage. Natural systems too – crucial for stable, dry, cool and nature inclusive cities – are also largely dependent on the quality of the subsoil. The subsurface is critical in an era of climate and demographic changes, the energy transition and economic uncertainty and constraints. However, due to the domain’s current segregation and a weak urban design and planning connection, crucial design potential, benefits and innovations, remain unexploited. This paper first introduces an innovative systems approach, the System Exploration Environment and Subsurface (SEES), to recognise the subsurface as an “under-arching” domain for urban planning and design. The physical impact of the subsurface on the surface quality is described for the categories: civil constructions, water, energy and soil/ecology. After setting understanding of the surface and subsurface as one united space, the paper will go into using the SEES as knowledge brokerage tool, integrating the subsurface artefacts into the design process and how the concept of Reversed Engineering with Nature is useful to uncover synergies between subsurface technologies, new urban maintenance regimes and scripts for design.

Title: Privileging the private home: a case of persuasive storytelling in early twentieth-century professional discourses
Abstract: 
 The private, detached single-family house has long been a dominant feature in the cities, towns, and suburbs of the United States to a much greater extent than in most other Western nations. To this very day, the private home is considered a constitutive element of the “American Dream.” This paper seeks to uncover some of the mechanisms through which this house acquired commanding presence in the American imagination and, consequently, in American metropolitan space. Specifically, the paper turns to professional discourses from the early 1900s. The paper argues that city-building experts from that time period – architects, housing reformers, and urban planners – collectively envisioned the detached single-family house as having a privileged claim to the American city and converted this vision into a persuasive story. Through their storytelling, the experts helped craft a number of government strategies that defended the dominant position of the single-family dwelling in the American city through the remainder of the twentieth century.

Title: When green is grievous: downsides in human-nature interactions in informal urban settlements
Abstract: 
 Considering how poor households relate with natural ecosystems is crucial to achieving environmentally sustainable low-income communities in South Africa and beyond. This paper presents negative experiences associated with residents’ interactions with, perceptions of, and appropriations of natural ecosystems and green spaces in informal settlements in Johannesburg. In-depth interviews with residents in two communities, key informants, and transect walks were used to identify problems associated with domestic gardens and vegetation in riparian and non-riparian open spaces. Inadequate services and infrastructure exacerbates these problems. This work contributes to knowledge regarding undesirable aspects of green infrastructure in the context of urban poverty. Understanding the downsides in human-nature interactions can usefully inform ecologically sound intervention in low-income informal urban areas.

Title: Residents’ relationship with green infrastructure in Cosmo City, Johannesburg
Abstract: 
 Scholars have expressed concerns about environmental sustainability in low-income housing development in South Africa in terms of the poor households’ relationship with, access to and benefit from natural ecosystems and green spaces. Using a qualitative research approach – discourse-based methods (semi-structured interviews, focus group discussion and transect walks), this paper shows how low-income households in Cosmo City, Johannesburg (South Africa) benefit from green infrastructure at the domestic, neighbourhood and riparian scales. The central lesson from this case is that landscape/urban design, planning and management must recognise and respond to socio-economic and socio-ecological realities and dynamics inherent in the ways low-income households relate with green infrastructure.

Title: Green urban cemeteries: more than just parks
Abstract: 
 Inspired of Lefebvre’s and De Certau’s perspectives on social production of space, this study aims to explore cemeteries’ functions in urban life nowadays. Our starting point is that green urban cemeteries have two main functions: their primary purpose is as a burial ground, while their secondary function is as public spaces for reflections, recreation, and cultural encounters. We ask for whom the cemeteries are designed and managed, and in what ways they are actually used. To explore these questions, qualitative data from two cemeteries in Oslo is analyzed. Both visitors and people passing through the sites were interviewed during the summer of 2014 about their intention to be at the cemetery and their views about the place. We point to a series of positive measures rather than forbidden signs that should be instigated to help promoting the great potential green urban cemeteries have for citizens and a future sustainable city.

Title: Meeting on the marketplace: on the integrative potential of The Hague Market
Abstract: 
 Marketplaces are important commercial and gathering places in cities. After decades of decline and negligence, they are recently rediscovered as potential meeting grounds that bring different people together. Their integrative potential goes beyond the “ground level” of the market (with encounters between traders and visitors), also uniting different stakeholders (municipalities, traders, entrepreneurs, inhabitants, social institutions) joined around the market on an “organisational level”. Using The Hague Market in the Netherlands as case, and drawing on participant observation and semi-structured interviews, this paper investigates the integrative potential of the marketplace. It illustrates how the market indeed serves as an important meeting ground for external stakeholders, but does not (yet) unify the direct beneficiaries: the local government and market traders. Top-down government planning, previous conflicts, distrust, group loyalties, diverging business views and commercial competition are important factors hampering the integrative potential of The Hague Market.

Title: New urban paradigm beyond the west: investigating the regeneration of urban villages in Guangzhou, China
Abstract: 
 This paper investigates the regeneration process of four urban villages in Guangzhou, China. It finds that the institutional dichotomy of the rural and urban systems in land ownership and planning management has not only rooted the emergence and proliferation of urban villages, but also obstructed their regeneration. The core of urban village regeneration is the redistribution of interest derived from land appreciation; the current regulatory framework has difficulties in accommodating this redistribution and alternative legislation is needed. Collaboration formed by some powerful stakeholders is proved to be essential for project completion, and this partnership formation has to some extent weakened the top-down single-actor planning mechanism, which has been the routine in socialist China for decades. The study identifies the dynamics of land regeneration, suggesting that there is no single universal prescribed form of land regeneration.

Title: The role of ethnic retailing in retrofitting suburbia: case studies from Toronto, Canada
Abstract: 
 Today’s immigrants to Canada are increasingly and directly settling into suburban areas of major cities; a trend that has resulted in new retail opportunities: suburban ethnic shopping centres are a growing phenomenon in areas with major immigrant settlement. This paper discusses the development and retrofitting processes of three suburban Chinese shopping malls in the Toronto area. The paper explores how these malls successfully regenerated areas once affected by business decline and how they can act as a catalyst to develop a new urban form that makes the suburban landscape less uniform and more sustainable. Various perspectives from key players involved in ethnic retail activities and developments were collected, including surveys with entrepreneurs and shoppers, and semi-structured interviews with city councillors, city planners, developers and an architect. The paper suggests that municipalities could invest in established ethnic retail places as an innovative means of “retrofitting suburbia.”

Title: Can web-based community engagement inform equitable planning outcomes? A case study of bikesharing
Abstract: 
 Web-based engagement is increasingly popular because of its perceived ability to increase access to the planning process with less effort than traditional methods. Currently, the utility of these approaches for meeting the needs of all members of a community is unclear. This research tests whether web-based engagement can forward equitable planning outcomes by examining proposed bikeshare station locations collected via a web-application; operationalizing equity as equal access to bikeshare station locations across all populations. Results indicate that solely relying upon online outreach would lead to an inequitable distribution of station locations. Suggested station locations are negatively-correlated with increased minority populations and positively-correlated with an increased mix of employment and housing. As such, we determine that while online outreach is a convenient and efficient means of collecting vast amounts of information, on its own it is not well-suited to planning applications in which access-equity is a primary concern.

Title: Rethinking the Providence Hill cable car: transit, equity, and urban design in Rio de Janeiro
Abstract: 
 In July 2014, the oldest slum in Rio de Janeiro, Morro da Providência (“Providence Hill”), received a cable car meant to facilitate up- and downhill commuting for residents of this hilltop community adjacent to downtown. Socioeconomic indicators suggest that this community was an ideal recipient of such a project, which facilitated mobility to center-city transit and potential employment. Yet the resulting impact on the adjacent built environment may have negatively impacted small-business vitality and development opportunities for residents of the community. Using social indicators and urban design analysis, this paper examines the distributional and design implications of these choices and proposes improvements.

Title: Territoriality and safety in urban residential neighborhoods in Nigeria
Abstract: 
 The paper compares types and distribution of crime in residential areas with fences and street barricades to areas without and assesses the implications on the neighborhood safety and crime control. It explores the residents’ perception of crime and safety before and after the introduction of physical barriers. The results show that similar crimes occur in both areas, with the highest incidences recorded in the higher and medium-income areas. Location did not significantly influence crime incidence, location and street barricades together produced a significant influence on crime incidences (F = 17.853; Sig. = .00). Fences and street barricades have slight effect on crime incidences (R = .418; R2 = .175). Retreating behind the walls provides opportunity for street crimes. Despite recording high incidences of crime, residents’ perception of safety improved after the introduction of street gates and barricades. The study concludes that alternatives to gates, fences, and street barricades are imperative.

Title: Placemaking and climate change adaptation: new qualitative and quantitative considerations for the “Place Diagram”
Abstract: 
 Today, although most of the international research community considers climate change adaptation to be essential, there is limited knowledge on its concrete integration with contemporary placemaking. Yet, with the emergence of the adaptation agenda, the effects of urban climatology are continually coercing the need for concrete action to increase the climatic responsiveness of urban environments. This article is constructed upon a “Research for Design” approach, and focuses upon improving urban design guidelines by reviewing existing theoretical/empirical research on how pedestrian comfort levels can be addressed through public space design. The objective is to incorporate such qualitative and quantitative interrogations into a generic tool such as the “Place Diagram” by the PPS. A total of six intangible criteria, and six measurable attributes, are explored and structured in order to introduce new generic design considerations which can contribute to the responsiveness of urban outdoor spaces in an era of expected climate variability.

Title: Rethinking how built environments influence subjective well-being: a new conceptual framework
Abstract: 
 This paper aims to contribute to understanding the role of the built environment in subjective well-being (SWB). The paper presents a new conceptual framework that integrates and links together: (a) different sets of objective and perceived neighborhood characteristics, (b) different perspectives on SWB – hedonic, life satisfaction, and eudaimonic, and (c) mediating factors that explain how neighborhood characteristics influence SWB. These mediating factors are personal relationships, leisure activities, health, and neighborhood impact on emotions and mood. SWB can be a new powerful tool for planning and designing livable built environments and for evaluating the social sustainability of planning policies.

Title: Design governance the CABE way, its effectiveness and legitimacy
Abstract: 
 From its creation in 1999 to its demise as a government-funded organisation 11 years later, the Commission for Architecture &amp; the Built Environment (CABE) fronted a national drive in England for better design in the built environment. Whilst not universally supported at home, its scope and ambition were certainly impressive, and as an organisation it was unique on a global scale. As such the study of this exceptional initiative offers an unparalleled opportunity to shine a light on the often unfathomable processes of governing the design of development. This paper reflects on the organisation in two key ways. First, from the narrow perspective of CABE’s impact: what worked and what did not; and what can we learn from CABE. Second, what does the experience tell us about the nature and purpose of design governance and about the role and legitimacy of government within this most “wicked” of policy arenas.

Title: A human-scaled GIS: measuring and visualizing social interaction in Barcelona’s 
Abstract: 
 Social interaction is a key component of urban sustainability, but its spatial measurement is difficult using existing off-site GIS data. This paper reports on a new method of measuring social interaction using a combination of mobile technology and parametric software, which was tested on two of Barcelona’s new semi-pedestrian superilles. The research is introduced within a theoretical framework for social interaction and cohesion adapted from a broader index of sustainability. It shows how on-site data collection can be used to measure the capacity of urban spaces to support social interaction. It is argued that the combination of mobile technologies, GIS data, and predetermined indicators of the capacity of spaces to support positive human experiences offers an important complement to more traditional methods of recording and measuring the qualities of urban spaces.

Title: Climbing the city. Inhabiting verticality outside of comfort bubbles
Abstract: 
 Over the last couple of decades, urban sports have been studied – as well as, in many cases, celebrated – as critical forms of using urban space. Urban climbing, a practice also known as “street bouldering,” “buildering,” “structuring,” and “stegophilia,” has been much explored in this vein. While we acknowledge the importance of bringing to light the political and playful dimensions of the urban spatial experience, in this piece we would like to focus on a slightly different question. We approach it as a powerful means to probe and understand the finest constitution of urban environments and, more amply, urban morphology. By doing so, we wish, on the one hand, to zoom in as closely as possible onto the actual bodily practice of climbing, and, on the other, to attend its methodological implications in terms of a reflection on bodily techniques in the context of a natural history of the city. We describe urban climbing as a peculiar corporeal operation carried out at and, more precisely, on the limits of environmental control. In conclusion, the article suggests that, by highlighting the meaning of inhabiting a vertical open space of a peculiar kind, a close-up study of urban climbing might help to develop contemporary urban theory.

Title: The resilience of a London Great Estate: urban development, adaptive capacity and the politics of stewardship
Abstract: 
 This paper explores the concept of resilience through the planning, development and management history of one of London’s Great Estates. The Grosvenor Estate in Mayfair and Belgravia was developed incrementally from the 1720s and continues to be managed on behalf of the aristocratic Grosvenor family. The Great Estates have been described as exemplars of resiliently managed evolution in response to change in several publications and resilience acquired a strategic significance for Grosvenor in the early twenty-first century. This occurred in the context of the phenomenon of empty homes acquired by overseas investors which has steadily transformed the character of inner London areas, but also related to Grosvenor’s management future. The paper argues that the Grosvenor Estate provides an intriguing case for testing academic ideas of “evolutionary resilience” while also raising issues of how resilience concepts are mobilised within the socio-political worlds of planning, development and real estate management practice.

Title: An indicator approach to sustainable urban freight transport
Abstract: 
 Several indicators have been established to monitor and evaluate the sustainability of cities. Logistics and related transportation activities are underrepresented in these established frameworks despite the substantial negative impact of urban freight transport (UFT) on the environment, society and economy. The result is the lack of an understanding of freight flows’ impact on the liveability of cities. This paper fills this gap by introducing a comprehensive set of freight transport related indicators with an operational target in policy support and urban planning. It provides a discussion of its hierarchical design and 45 indicators. Using this indicator set, local authorities can assess and enhance UFT sustainability.

Title: Neighborhood sociodemographics and change in built infrastructure
Abstract: 
 While increasing evidence suggests an association between physical infrastructure in neighborhoods and health outcomes, relatively little research examines how neighborhoods change physically over time and how these physical improvements are spatially distributed across populations. This paper describes the change over 25 years (1985–2010) in bicycle lanes, off-road trails, bus transit service and parks, and spatial clusters of changes in these domains relative to neighborhood sociodemographics in four US cities that are diverse in terms of geography, size, and population. Across all four cities we identified increases in bicycle lanes, off-road trails, and bus transit service, with spatial clustering in these changes that related to neighborhood sociodemographics. Overall, we found evidence of positive changes in physical infrastructure commonly identified as supportive of physical activity. However, the patterning of infrastructure change by sociodemographic change encourages attention to the equity in infrastructure improvements across neighborhoods.

Title: Space syntax analysis of tourists’ movement patterns in the historical district of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Abstract: 
 Although many researchers study the walkable environment and physical activities, very few studies demonstrate the important functions of walkable places on tourists’ walking experiences, particularly in Southeast Asian cities. This article evaluates pedestrian networks’ connectivity in Kuala Lumpur’s historic district to support pedestrian tourists’ movement patterns. The methods used in this study are gate observation and space syntax (integration value) analysis. The results indicate that pedestrian movement in the study areas is oriented more to land uses and elements of attractors than to connectivity of walkways. The findings suggest that pedestrian-oriented environments could contribute to the walkability of city centers through the integration of diverse place uses and street activities. The findings can be a useful reference for future urban studies and urban design of walkability to regenerate historical city centers that have lost their importance for tourists.

Title: Permeability and interface catchment: measuring and mapping walkable access
Abstract: 
 The relationship between urban morphology and walkability is central to urban design theory and practice. In this paper, we develop new measures for pedestrian permeability and catchment areas, suggesting that their joint use can progress our understanding of the ways urban morphology mediates walkability. Existing measures of permeability do not account for heterogeneous morphologies. Likewise, measures of pedestrian catchment do not account for what it is that is caught. The proposed “area-weighted average perimeter” and “interface catchments” together integrate both street width and block size, measuring both walkable access and what one gets access to. What is at stake is not only correlations with health and transport, but also measures of walkable access that are geared to the social and economic productivity of the city.

Title: Generative forces shaping the traditional city: the case of Hoian, Vietnam
Abstract: 
 This study develops a new approach for assessing the form of a traditional city by employing Christopher Alexander’s generative method, which involves pattern and form languages. The pattern language for a traditional city and a new set of 20 properties of urban elements are developed to provide a better framework for understanding urban form. These properties are synthesised from the 15 properties outlined by Alexander and the 10 qualities proposed by Kevin Lynch. The Coherent Index is developed and implemented to assess the impact of generative forces on the urban form of the ancient quarter of Hoian, Vietnam. This study reveals that the ethnic interdependence and integration of the international community, the power of water and trade, and monarchical power were the most important forces that determined the form of Hoian between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries.

Title: Why people walk: modeling foundational and higher order needs based on latent structure
Abstract: 
 Researchers are probing motivational factors influencing individuals’ choice to walk. A review of the literature reveals a great deal of variability in the motivators considered. This study identified 15 motivators commonly associated with walkability for use in a pedestrian-intercept survey to measure their influence on pedestrian mode choice to walk in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood of Vancouver, Canada. The results were analyzed using analytical factor analysis and indicated a hierarchical needs model with four significant factors including lower order (urban planning and policy) and higher order (physical geographic; attractiveness and sociability; and personal) needs considered in their decision. The study suggests that lower order factors, which correspond to the 4 Es of pedestrian planning, provide a foundation for encouraging walking, but in order to achieve high levels of walking, it is necessary to adequately address factors related to higher order needs that are often beyond the attention of pedestrian planning.

Title: Towers on the steppe: compact city plans and local perceptions of urban densification in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
Abstract: 
 This paper examines how plans for urban densification, particularly those supported by international organisations, intersect with local residents’ perceptions of housing and land use in the developing world. The study focuses on ger districts in Ulaanbaatar, the site of numerous plans for large-scale urban transformation. Ger districts are rapidly growing areas named for the felt tents that are considered their typical housing mode. This study interviewed 120 ger district residents across central, middle and outer areas of the city. The results reveal migration patterns different from those typically reported, with the highest proportions of migrants and renters living in the central district. Interviewees generally held positive views of apartment living, while preferring low-density land use. Residents’ views of density were strongly influenced by Mongolian attitudes to land and open space. The paper concludes by discussing the reasons for, and consequences of, residents’ and international policy-makers’ different framings of urban density.

Title: Do “creative” and “non-creative” workers exhibit similar preferences for urban amenities? An exploratory case study of Omaha, Nebraska
Abstract: 
 Research into the locational decisions of creative class or knowledge workers has indicated that “classic” or “hard” factors, particularly employment opportunity and social connections, generally take precedence over “soft”, “quality of place” amenities such as art and cultural venues, historical assets, and tolerance/diversity. However, “soft” amenities are expected to shape where creative class/knowledge workers live within cities, and potentially whether they remain in the community long-term, or seek opportunities elsewhere. In this study, an online survey and questionnaire were employed to explore whether residents living in downtown Omaha, Nebraska with “creative” occupations exhibit stronger preferences for urban amenities relative to those with “non-creative” occupations. Generally in support of Richard Florida’s creative class thesis, the results suggest that creative workers may exhibit a stronger affinity for certain, primarily “soft,” urban amenities and characteristics, such as dining establishments, “third places”, arts/cultural venues, unique sense of place, and the hip, trendy, and youthful feel of Omaha’s downtown neighborhoods.

Title: Does downtown office property perform better in live–work–play centers?
Abstract: 
 Live–work–play (LWP) centers in US metro markets are attracting young workers and employers, and downtowns are the locations often providing LWP. These centers are compact, diverse, mixed-use, and walkable places that improve economic, environmental, fiscal, public health, and social outcomes. This empirical analysis examines the dimensions and features of LWP centers, considers alternative LWP measures, and determines whether real estate performance increases when LWP centers improve. We find that downtown office rents are higher and capitalization rates are lower in better LWP centers ceteris paribus. However, the expected cap rate relationship is not statistically significant.

Title: Taking the High Line: elevated parks, transforming neighbourhoods, and the ever-changing relationship between the urban and nature
Abstract: 
 The popularity and impact of the High Line in New York mirrors the complex reality of contemporary provision of public space. The development of the project, its relationship to its surroundings and the evolving trend of elevated parks are analyzed in relation to the role of urban green space and impacts of Landscape Urbanism.The High Line shows the way to a new role for urban green space by utilizing abandoned infrastructure. In analysing the narrative of the High Line, this article stresses the importance of understanding localities and connectivity. Based on observations as well as a review of the literature and media, the article concludes that great landscaping does not create great places without careful consideration of the surrounding community and residents.

Title: The  of urban form: a framework for heritage-based place making
Abstract: 
 Despite the efforts of preservationists, numerous decaying heritage structures dot the urban landscape. Simultaneously, new development in historic areas has received much debate. Applying Plato’s theory of Forms, this research highlights contributions of the historic built environment to place making, offering a new theoretical framework based on the study of eidetic imagery. The root word for eidetic is eidos, the foundation of Plato’s theory. This paper traces the connotational evolution of the term eidos, applies these meanings to place research and case sites, and presents a new framework for heritage-based place making based on these meanings. Two salient factors are suggested moving forward: (1) the regeneration of non-productive heritage structures; and (2) utilizing the shared characteristics in the local and regional historic environment for design and planning of new development. While the case sites are international, the contextualization of the problem is primarily US-oriented.

Title: How ideas work: memes and institutional material in the first 100 years of the neighborhood unit
Abstract: 
 This paper reviews the history of the neighborhood unit idea, primarily in the United States and United Kingdom, as a means to examine how urban design ideas work. It argues that ideas like the neighborhood unit gain their power by framing the institutional material we create to help us cope with work. Institutional material refers to cultural product that conditions human action. Types of institutional material in urban design include practice norms, professional communities, and governance structures. Although the neighborhood unit emerged through a transatlantic network of planners and designers, the institutional material it framed was particular, local, and contingent. Ultimately, the paper argues that the neighborhood unit grew out of institutional material in the early 20th century that itself was influenced by the garden city, and that both neighborhood unit and garden city ideas continued to shape new institutional material in subsequent decades.

Title: What may culture contribute to urban sustainability? Critical reflections on the uses of culture in urban development in Oslo and beyond
Abstract: 
 Culture and capital play vital roles in urban change. This paper provides a discussion of the relation between culture and capital, followed by a discussion of their relation in the urban context, including an empirical example from Oslo, Norway. Emphasis will be put on the role of culture in the creative city thesis and how culture relates to the concept of urban sustainability. A critique of neoliberal and instrumental uses of culture in the creative city thesis is also undertaken. Policies on culture-led urban regeneration often pay more attention to economic motives than to culture itself. The paper calls for establishing a reflective cultural policy that is not subsumed to economic sustainability, and for the need to escape the anthropological conception of culture as a whole way of life.

Title: Digital neighborhoods
Abstract: 
 With the advent of ‘big data’ there is an increased interest in using social media to describe city dynamics. This paper employs geo-located social media data to identify ‘digital neighborhoods’ – those areas in the city where social media is used more often. Starting with geo-located Twitter and Foursquare data for the New York City region in 2014, we applied spatial clustering techniques to detect significant groupings or ‘neighborhoods’ where social media use is high or low. The results show that beyond the business districts, digital neighborhoods occur in communities undergoing shifting socio-demographics. Neighborhoods that are not digitally oriented tend to have higher proportion of minorities and lower incomes, highlighting a social–economic divide in how social media is used in the city. Understanding the differences in these neighborhoods can help city planners interested in generating economic development proposals, civic engagement strategies, and urban design ideas that target these areas.

Title: Repealing minimum parking requirements in Buffalo: new directions for land use and development
Abstract: 
 Minimum parking requirements, which mandate off-street parking and have been a staple of American zoning codes for more than 80 years, are slowly falling out of favor due to incompatibility with sustainable urbanism, equity, and social responsibility. A new zoning ordinance in Buffalo, New York completely removes minimum parking requirements citywide, relieving developers and property owners from the mandate to provide off-street parking. This article performs a comparative analysis of guidelines in the zoning code before and after reform and examines the public engagement process that produced the change in parking control. Strong support for and little opposition to this zoning change suggest less resistance than anticipated to policies that formalize a reduction in off-street parking facilities. Findings suggest that removing minimum parking requirements is easiest where off-street parking requirements are least needed, and that the planning team in Buffalo proposed a bold idea after it detected, from special interest groups and the public, initial support for removing parking requirements. The article provides direction for future research to evaluate the repeal of minimum parking requirement and its effects on transport, the environment, and the economy.

Title: The travels, triumphs and travails of new urbanism: representational geographies in US newspapers, 1990–2012
Abstract: 
 This paper seeks to contribute to our geographical understanding of New Urbanism as an important reform movement by exploring its representational rather than physical experience within the United States. Specifically, we analyze US newspaper accounts of New Urbanism from 1990 to 2012, looking for broad patterns in how it is portrayed to popular audiences around the country – what we think of as its “triumphs” and “travails” across American space. We also explore the stated reasons given for these portrayals, without attempting in this contribution to theorize motivations, agendas or broader political-economies that shape perceptions of planning and design. The paper finds that positive accounts of New Urbanism outnumber negative accounts by nearly three-to-one. In addition to overall tone, the paper discusses the qualitative content of articles to establish key justifications and rationales for positive, negative and neutral framings. Further research might extend our findings by analyzing how New Urbanism if/s “framed” publically on social media and in other national contexts.

Title: Evaluating the impacts of density on urban goods movement externalities
Abstract: 
 Research has established a potential to reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) by replacing passenger travel for shopping with delivery service, and a few studies have indicated CO2 emissions can also be reduced. However, that research has mostly focused on urban locations and has not addressed criteria pollutants. This study examines the impacts of replacing passenger travel for shopping with delivery service over a broader set of externalities (VMT, CO2, NOx, and PM10) in both urban and rural communities. Three different goods movement strategies are considered in three different municipalities in King County, Washington, which vary in size, density, and distance from the metropolitan core. The research finds that delivery services can reduce VMT over passenger vehicle travel for shopping, however, the potential to reduce CO2, NOx, and PM10 emissions varies by municipality. Significant trade-offs are observed between VMT and emissions – especially between VMT and criteria pollutants.

Title: Feeling safe and comfortable in the urban environment
Abstract: 
 Safety is recognised as an important goal of urban regeneration projects and implementing the principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) has been proposed as one way of enhancing community safety. Yet there are few critiques of how effective CPTED is in achieving this. This paper reports on a pilot study that explores the link between CPTED principles and people’s feelings of safety and comfort in an urban precinct of Adelaide, South Australia. The research combines a micro-scale analysis of the built environment and a series of interviews with people who live and/or work in the area. The research highlights the importance of some of the CPTED principles including activity, maintenance, sight lines but also reveals the importance of familiarity and personal safety strategies.

Title: How can authorities support urban consolidation centres? A review of the accompanying measures
Abstract: 
 Freight transport affects urban welfare primarily through congestion and emissions. An urban consolidation centre is regarded as a solution that can reduce those negative impacts of freight vehicles on the city. However, previous experience has demonstrated the challenge that these centres face in being self-sustaining. Given their positive effects on the city, authorities have supported these logistics schemes with different types of accompanying measures. In order to bring to practitioners an overview of these measures, the paper presents the results of a literature review where the different measures are classified according to their financial support, their regulatory support and their indirect regulatory support.

Title: Assessing equity and urban/rural road safety disparities in the US
Abstract: 
 Road fatalities erase more healthy years of life than cancer and heart disease combined. Considering safety as a health impact begs the question: Who is most impacted? Are there urban/rural differences? How equitable are impacts along racial/ethnic lines or with income differences? Via spatial analysis of over 970,000 geocoded US road fatalities over a 24-year period, our results show that Americans are not bearing these impacts equitably. We find road fatality disparities across racial/ethnic lines, particularly for pedestrians/bicyclists in predominantly black or Hispanic neighborhoods. Lower income neighborhoods suffer from vehicle occupant fatality rates 3.5X higher than wealthier neighborhoods. Also, residents of our most rural areas endure fatality rates approximately 6X higher than our most urban areas. This suggests that transportation and land use planning intended to facilitate more access with less mobility can reduce unnecessary exposure and lead to outcomes on par with the safest developed countries in the world.

Title: Plastic flowers and mowed lawns: the exploration of everyday unsustainability
Abstract: 
 In human-controlled environments and in cultivated landscapes, the plants accommodate social, cultural and economic needs. This article will focus on the use of plants for agriculture, urban planning, forestry, environmental education and indoor decoration in The Netherlands. This exploration, based on literature review and observations, reveals mostly anthropocentric, instrumental and unsustainable practices. In urban landscapes plants are pushed to the margins, if not entirely eradicated. This article shows that moral recognition of plants is an ethical imperative, which is also critically important to achieve environmental sustainability. In line with ecocentric ethics and in the interest of long-term sustainability, this article suggests alternative, more ethical and sustainable ways of relating to plants in The Netherlands and beyond.

Title: Seeing the city: using eye-tracking technology to explore cognitive responses to the built environment
Abstract: 
 Context continually influences cognition and behavior, whether walking down a quiet rural street or a busy city. Research in urban design and placemaking argues that different urban environments might impact dynamic mental states, providing a framework to empirically test the role of context. Our hypotheses are that distinct contexts can influence eye movements of an individual on the unconscious level. We found that certain urban environments were associated with more positive reactions around likelihood to spend time in the place and sense that the place makes the subject feel relaxed. These environments are representative of new urbanist principles and suggest that these types of designs can provoke important cognitive responses, over more conventional urban designs.

Title: Towards a Deleuzoguattarian methodology for urban design
Abstract: 
 The philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari (Deleuzoguattarian) is now widely thought to be apropos for today’s world. This paper proposes Deleuzoguattarian philosophy as a new methodology for urban design research and practice. First, existing methodologies in the field of urban design are examined and their strengths and limitations outlined in relation to current urban problems. A reading of Deleuzoguattarian philosophy from an urban design perspective is then provided in order to propose a new methodology for research and practice. This reading mainly concentrates on the ontology and epistemology offered by the philosophy, aspects that have been neglected in the literature. The concept of territorialization as a complementary concept to assemblage theory is highlighted in order to illustrate the characteristics of the ontology and epistemology. Finally, normative goals are discussed. It is concluded that Deleuzoguattarian philosophy is not only an ethical response to modernism but is an epistemological need.

Title: Sense of place and mental wellness amongst African immigrants in Canada
Abstract: 
 This study examines the effects of self-perceived mental wellness and other socio-economic variables on sense of place amongst Ghanaian and Somali immigrants living in Hamilton, Ontario. Research results are based on the analysis of survey questionnaires (n = 236) of Ghanaian and Somali immigrant adults, with recent (0–5 years), mid-term (6–10 years), and long-term (more than 10 years) residency in Canada. Our findings revealed several significant factors of sense of place, including self-perceived mental wellness, income, age, employment, citizenship status, marital status, dwelling type, and length of residency in Canada. The findings highlight the need for research to incorporate sense of place into studies on visible minority immigrants and to focus on those factors contributing to place attachment amongst recent immigrants.

Title: Retrofitting business suburbia: competition, transformation, and challenges in metropolitan Boston’s suburban office parks
Abstract: 
 This paper examines the retrofitting and redevelopment of suburban office parks, and in particular, the planning, design, and policy issues and challenges associated with this redevelopment. Recent literature indicates a shift of suburban business development in favor of increasingly competitive central cities, a dilemma for planners charged with revitalizing aging suburban business parks. To understand the nature and causality of suburban office park retrofitting and redevelopment, we conducted 13 qualitative, semi-structured interviews with planners, developers, and officials in the inner Boston metropolitan region. Interviews indicated increasing obsolescence, with widespread redevelopment as a coping strategy. Strategies included densification, mixed uses, enhanced public spaces, and attempts to enhance transit. We examine two case studies: Northwest Park in Burlington, MA, and Needham Crossing, in Needham, MA: both are former office parks redeveloped as mixed-use developments. Our research clarifies the nature and types of physical redevelopment, as well as the specific motivations behind redevelopment as a planning strategy for enhancing the viability of aging suburban office developments.

Title: Zoning changes and social diversity in New York City, 1990–2015
Abstract: 
 The writings of Jane Jacobs led urbanists to advocate for increased social diversity in neighborhoods as a method of promoting vitality in public spaces. Since then, New York City has become both a role model and a testing ground for zoning changes that support this objective. However, since the 2000s community activists and scholars have argued that these zoning changes have led to the dislocation of communities of color and incentivized gentrification. This project analyzed panel social and housing census data from 1990 and 2015 to assess the validity of these arguments. Results suggest that zoning changes have limited and differentiated effects on the different dimensions of social diversity. For instance, they have strong effects on household income diversity, a nuanced effect on race diversity, and slightly negative effects on family type diversity.

Title: ‘Let’s be friends’; exploring governance, crime precipitators and public safety in the night-time economies of Cardiff (Wales) and Perth (Australia)
Abstract: 
 There are tensions between agencies seeking to restrict and control the night-time economy (NTE) and those focused on promoting it. These tensions need to be inspected. Using perspectives from environmental criminology it has been hypothesized that planning governance issues, relating to the provision of public transport, taxis services and public toilets, may act to precipitate crime and disorder and exacerbate public safety issues. Utilising research findings from a study of regular users of the NTE’s of Cardiff (UK) and Perth (Australia), we test this hypothesis. The research findings suggest that the most appropriate manner in which to deal with crime and disorder in the NTE is through inter-agency partnership approaches involving the users of the NTE. This approach refocusses the debate to explore the positive elements of the NTE we do want. This contrasts with many contemporary approaches focused solely on the negative aspects of the NTE we don’t want.

Title: A public health perspective on small business development: a review of the literature
Abstract: 
 Federal spending on non-health entitlement programs, including the Earned Income Tax Credit and SNAP, has decreased as a percent of GDP since 2011, putting social safety net and community and economic development funding at risk. As an important component of community development, small business support programs are also at risk under social spending cuts. While theory suggests that a strong small business sector could protect health by improving socioeconomic conditions and reducing unemployment, the public health implications of reduced support for small business has not been explored. We conducted a scoping literature review of studies indexed by Pubmed, Cochrane Review, Google Scholar, and Academic Search Premier. The literature suggests that small businesses may provide social and economic benefits to communities that likely protect health, especially in economically deprived communities. These health impacts should be considered when policy-makers weigh decisions that affect small businesses and funding for community and economic development.

Title: Informal settlement upgrading in South Africa: beneficiaries’ perceptions over nearly twenty-five years
Abstract: 
 Research on informal settlement upgrading tends to focus on one-off case studies. This article investigates the changing experiences, over nearly 25 years, of people living in an upgraded informal settlement. We sought to determine how the perceptions of the residents of Freedom Square changed. Our latest survey (2014) included responses from 199 household representatives and followed earlier surveys. Firstly, we find that the upgrading of Freedom Square represents a first step towards ensuring the housing rights of black people in urban South Africa. Secondly, spatial infilling and locational advantage continue to play valuable roles. Thirdly, dweller control, in terms of which residents themselves are able to design extensions to their houses, remains important. Fourthly, social cohesion among community members is proving to be more important than access to a stand. Fifthly, urban management remains an important long-term requirement. Lastly, elements of informality persist in the area.

Title: Is there suitable housing near work? The impact of housing suitability on commute distances in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver
Abstract: 
 This paper makes a novel contribution by examining the impacts of housing suitability on the commute. Smart Growth and related planning policies have contributed to higher residential densities with the aim to reduce commute distances and enhance urban sustainability. While important in terms of alleviating sprawl, reductions in space accompanying increases in densities may not be suitable for larger households. If households instead commute longer distances, the sustainability objective of minimizing commute distances is undercut. We operationalize housing suitability at the household level in different ways, analysing the characteristics of housing available near the place of work in relation to the housing suitability needs based on household characteristics. Regardless of the measure used, the better the match between workers’ housing suitability needs and the housing stock available near work, the shorter the commute. The paper uniquely highlights the importance of explicitly considering housing suitability in planning for sustainability.

Title: In support of the unambiguous neighborhood: a proposed size typology
Abstract: 
 The definition of neighborhood is often ambiguous. The purpose of this paper is to offer clarity on one important aspect of its definition: its size. While there is already a voluminous literature on neighborhood concepts and definitions, few sources delve into the question of size explicitly, and in a historically and culturally comparative way. Based on an extensive literature review, five size-based categories of neighborhood are proposed: (1) small clusters and face blocks; (2) more than a block, but still face to face; (3) like a big high school; (4) Perry’s neighborhood; and (5) the neighborhood expanded. Smaller neighborhoods are likely to prioritize social connectedness, while larger conceptions emphasize serviceability. Examples within each category are cross-cultural and cross-temporal, with many size regularities spanning more than one time period and more than one region.

Title: Walk Score® versus residents’ perceptions of walkability in Omaha, NE
Abstract: 
 With an easily accessible online interface, Walk Score® has emerged as one of the most popular metrics to assess walkability, both within and outside academia. Based primarily on accessibility to common daily amenities, this quantitative measure is limited to a macro-scale view of urban form that does not consider micro-scale design elements that can significantly impact walking behavior such as building setbacks, sidewalk characteristics, lighting, or traffic volume. This study employed a survey and cognitive mapping exercise to identify neighborhood typologies in which Walk Score and residents’ perceptions of walkability are most likely to align, and, more crucially, where they are most likely to be at odds. Relative to residents’ perceptions, Walk Score tended to overestimate the walkability of suburban strip-mall corridors and underestimate the walkability of recreational areas and small entertainment districts. Potential differences in residents’ perceptions of walkability, and their associations with Walk Score, were also explored.

Title: Visual engagement with urban street edges: insights using mobile eye-tracking
Abstract: 
 This study provides empirical insight into the extent to which pedestrians visually engage with urban street edges and how social and spatial factors impact such engagement. This was achieved using mobile eye-tracking. The gaze distribution of 24 study participants was systematically recorded as they carried out everyday tasks on differing streets. The findings demonstrated that street edges are the most visually engaged component of streets; that street edge visual engagement is impacted by everyday social tasks as well as the spatial and physical materiality of edges on differing streets; and that street edges, which attract a lot of visual engagement while undertaking optional tasks, also attract greater amounts of visual engagement while undertaking necessary tasks. These findings offer new insight into urban street edge engagement from the direct perspective of street inhabitants and in doing so provide greater understanding of how street edges are experienced.

Title: Thinking against Heritage: speculative development and emancipatory politics in the City of London
Abstract: 
 What does a political conceptualisation of the relationship between urban development and heritage involve? Against the widespread idea that there is a conflict between densification and the protection of historic buildings and sites in the City of London, I show that a conservative heritage discourse promotes the construction of speculative towers. Arguing against a City that is privately owned, self-competing and socially homogeneous, I develop a democratic understanding of history that contests an essentialist reading of the city and challenges the idea that speculative developments direct attention to and visually enhance historic landmarks. Aligning historical analysis with political critique, I draw on the work of Walter Benjamin and Michel Foucault and discuss notions of “historical events” and “cultural treasures” in order to think against the prevailing speculative logic in the city.

Title: Large multifunctional suburban centres and the transformation of the suburban realm
Abstract: 
 The paper contributes to the present reflection on the transformation of the suburb by investigating the capacity of large multifunctional suburban centres (LMSCs) to provide public transit- and walking-conducive environments within the suburban realm. To this end, it investigates land-use and commuter journey patterns of the 13 largest suburban multifunctional centres in Canada. The study exposes difficulties in using LMSCs as recentralization instruments meant to “urbanize” the suburb by making it more public transit- and walking-oriented. It points to tensions within LMSCs between playing the role of activity centre and adopting land-use configurations conducive to public-transit use and walking. The stronger is the centrality role of an LMSC, the more it is overtaken by automobiles from its dispersed suburban surroundings. Alternatively, LMSCs can generate weak centrality effects while performing as effective transit-oriented developments. The paper concludes by highlighting difficulties in overcoming suburban transportation and land-use path dependencies.

Title: Managing change: Seattle’s 21st century urban renaissance
Abstract: 
 Evolution of the urban planning and historic preservation disciplines has resulted in an “uneasy alliance” in practice, one further complicated by the back-to-the-city movement and increased development pressure in older urban neighbourhoods. In Seattle, as in other U.S. cities, the pace, intensity and scale of redevelopment has caused dramatic spatial and social transformations. Although research has shown that older built fabric provides economic and social benefit for cities, neither regulations created by planners for guiding redevelopment nor strategies created by preservationists for retaining urban heritage have been successful in reconciling these different, yet interconnected, sets of values. We engage three Seattle neighbourhood case studies to clarify and evaluate policies, programs and strategies used by planners and preservationists for reimagining neighbourhood transformations. This work suggests a need for more creative, integrative collaboration between the two fields to simultaneously engage – and reconcile – social and economic tensions caused by urban redevelopment.

Title: Progressive land sub-division in the metropolitan border in Buenos Aires between 1972 and 2012
Abstract: 
 When considering the territorial changes in the Buenos Aires metropolitan border, progressive sub-division is not taken into account by the local bibliography as a component of this space. However, the changes reveal that land sub-division is an important issue that the bibliography should take into account. In light of this problem, this paper delves into the progressive sub-division problem in the Buenos Aires metropolitan border between 1972 and 2012. The elaboration of a specific mapping allows us to see that while we find lot divisions which are consolidated, and in many cases, densified, the bibliography does not address this process of occupation of the Buenos Aires metropolitan border.

Title: Forces shaping urban morphology in Southern Africa Today: unequal interplay among people, practice and policy
Abstract: 
 This article explores public participation and its impact on urban structures in Southern Africa. Often, public participation stands in opposition to existing legislation and prevailing urban policies. Using textual analysis and case studies of Harare, Zimbabwe, Johannesburg, South Africa and Luanda, Angola, this study concludes that the urban fabric and structure of Southern African cities are in a state of instability. The rise of public participation–“right to the city”–has given way to “cities of rebels” in which citizens react or rebel against urban policies and legislation. These forces threaten sustainable urban morphology and service delivery, complicating the roles of urban planners and managers.

Title: Feeding the global city: urban transformation and urban food supply chain in 21st-century Istanbul
Abstract: 
 This article focuses on the effects of urban transformation on the urban food supply chain in 21st century Istanbul. The article begins with a discussion on the particularities of the urban transformation that has shaped the city since the 1980s, emphasizing tendencies that are relevant to food consumption and supply patterns and practices. Next, 6 categories of fresh fruits and vegetables (FFVs), provisioning agents (mixed/foreign-capital supermarkets, domestic-capital supermarkets, bazaars, local suppliers, and urban and semi-urban/peripheral farmers, internet or store-based alternative food networks) are analyzed in terms of their perception of urban transformation and various challenges it poses. The article concludes with an assessment of the changes in the city’s food supply chain in light of provisioning agents’ responses to the urban transformation as a force that either enables them compete more successfully and expand their operations or pushes them to contract or even leave the provisioning sector completely.

Title: Malawian urbanism and urban poverty: geographies of food access in Blantyre
Abstract: 
 Malawi is among the world’s least urbanised countries, yet Malawian cities are growing rapidly and most growth is in unplanned informal settlements. Conventional approaches to urban planning are inadequate to address the growing problem of urban poverty. New perspectives on the nature of Malawian urbanism, built upon notions of liveable, sustainable, and “untamed” urbanisms rooted in African contexts, are needed to generate dialogue on sustainable urbanization suited to local needs, preferences, and resources. This article is based on qualitative fieldwork in Blantyre, Malawi’s second largest city. It provides descriptive accounts (drawn from in-depth interviews, participative mapping, and exploration of the city’s neighbourhoods) of the types of places where residents purchase and produce food. In describing these places, context-specific observations emerge about the locally specific ways that aspects of “untamed” urbanisms, such as informal markets, rural-urban linkages, and customary land allocation, reduce vulnerability to food insecurity for the urban poor.

Title: Reconnection and reflexivity in Islamabad, Pakistan
Abstract: 
 This article explores the role of informal food spaces and flows in Islamabad, Pakistan. This paper aims to address two key questions in the areas of food and urbanism in Islamabad: How do the city’s residents perceive and experience the so-called “non-urban” food spaces and flows in their everyday lives? How do these spaces contribute to a nuanced understanding of global food systems? This paper considers that these spaces are critical in engendering nostalgia for past food habits and behaviours, a trigger for reflexive consumerism, and sites for reconnecting with different aspects of the country’s food system. The paper also explores how such spaces can be conceptualised within urbanism and geography, in the context of Islamabad’s unique spatial and socio-cultural identity. Informed by urbanism and food geography, this paper considers analytical and theoretical strategies for advancing the study of the urban in the global south, and specifically in Pakistan.

Title: Food consumption in the everyday life of liveable cities: design implications for conviviality
Abstract: 
 This paper focuses on the social aspects of food consumption in the public realm and how built environment design should include places for conviviality. Current urban planning may fulfil human needs, but in some cases, individuals have unpleasant experiences while meeting these needs. A review of existing literature indicates that studies of conviviality during food consumption has focused on design qualities. To investigate the Egyptian experiences in food consumption, the current study employed qualitative and quantitative approaches through four streams of data collection: observations, interviews, opinionnaire and permeability analysis of catchment areas. The results provide design implications for conviviality of food practices to discover the multilateral dimensions of design that can make social interactions part of a satisfying experience. This research concludes that for conviviality attached to food consumption, it is essential to focus on replicable aspects like supporting activities, social settings, and the design based on intent.

Title: Sharing a meal: a diversity of performances engendered by a social innovation
Abstract: 
 This paper explores the dynamics between social innovations and socio-spatial transformations using practice theory as linking pin. Social innovations, such as the case study of a meal sharing platform here presented, are considered as proposals. Using social practice theory as a theoretical lens enables us to explain how the principles of the proposal’s design are moderated and appropriated by its users. Consequently, familiar routinized practices expand, becoming more complex and hybrid. It is in the performance of the practice that this complexity is revealed. Specific focus is on the socio-spatial transformations that social innovations propose. This paper shows how tactics of appropriation can result in trespassing the boundaries between private and public, and between domestic and communitarian space. This way, we connect social innovations to DIY-urbanism, showing how citizens appropriate urban space.

Title: Production of Edibles and Use of Garden Waste in Domestic Gardens of a Middle-Class Suburb in Cape Town, South Africa
Abstract: 
 An under-investigated impact of urbanisation is the decrease in green spaces like domestic gardens, which does not bode well for urban sustainability. To this end, research was conducted in a suburb of Cape Town, South Africa to ascertain the degree to which residents use their garden spaces for the cultivation of edibles and to establish their management practices regarding garden waste. A mixed-methods approach determined that potential gardening space occupied, on average, about two-thirds of the area of residential plots. However, the 129 selected respondents were cultivating lawns, not food. Where the cultivation of edibles did occur, it was predominantly fruit with minimal vegetable production. The residents of the middle-class suburb had a penchant for using private gardening services who disposed of the garden waste elsewhere. Some home-composting activities were recorded. A municipal-driven composting programme will provide the impetus for increasing the rate of home composting. The study established that food production in the middle-class suburb has the potential to contribute to sustainable urban green spaces through increased home-garden cultivation. However, on-site techniques of disposing with garden waste must be promoted.

Title: Smart city strategies: time to involve people. Comparing Amsterdam, Barcelona and Paris
Abstract: 
 A city is not only made of buildings and infrastructures, but is also composed of the people, who live there, their cultures, uses and interactions. How people’s relations to their place have been transformed or not by the configuration of the smart city? This article attempts to provide an answer to this question, by examining the case of Amsterdam, Barcelona, and Paris, three large centuries-old Western Europe cities. It shows that behind the official line promising a more participatory society, the inhabitants are rather turned into users or clients of a city that belongs no more to them. Courses of action are then elaborated to help reurbanize the smart city by fostering co-construction of smart strategies.

Title: Repurposing a historic school building as a teacher’s village: exploring the connection between school closures, housing affordability, and community goals in a gentrifying neighborhood
Abstract: 
 The redevelopment of urban school buildings of historical value has the potential to contribute to the needs of current residents. Using a case study from Chicago, IL—where more than 50 schools in primarily minority and low- and moderate-income neighborhoods were closed in 2013—this article shows how a community group “Community As A Campus” (CAAC) sought to repurpose a former school site for community purposes in an already mixed-used, amenity-rich, and walkable area. CAAC advocated for housing for educators in the gentrifying neighborhood of West Town. The project, however, created tensions within residents from density related to market-rate units. This paper argues that the future of historic buildings to be preserved sustainably would depend on the ability of local leaders to find a balance between economic and community goals.

Title: It’s the journey, not the destination: the effect of school travel mode on student achievement
Abstract: 
 According to data from the National Household Travel Survey, 49.3 percent of American children in Kindergarten through sixth grade either walked or biked to school in 1969. By 2017, only 11 percent of elementary children still walked or biked to school. In this study, we examine the effect of school transport mode on a child’s academic achievement using data from a nationally representative dataset of American children. We rely on instrumental variables regression to isolate the effect of mode on achievement. Our results suggest children who are dropped off from private vehicles, and to a lesser extent, walk to school, have higher test scores than children who ride the bus.

Title: Urban climate resilience through socio-ecological planning: a case study in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island
Abstract: 
 Climate change impacts, especially on coastal cities, can no longer be ignored and in order to avoid significant losses in the built environment, the economy, and, by consequence, human health and life, it is imperative to address these impacts. We extrapolate the three pathways to urban resilience (persistence, adaptation, and transformation), as a function of the interrelations among the design of built forms (urban and landscape design), blue and green infrastructure (ecosystems), and knowledge-to-action (inclusion of local people and their knowledge). Accordingly, four urban and landscape design theories that integrate urban ecosystems are identified and linked to urban resilience and to the local ecological knowledge (LEK) through an inclusive design process (the charrette). The model is then applied to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, a city that is increasingly subjected to intense storm surges and to sea level rise in Atlantic Canada, where a series of design charrettes integrated the LEK into urban climate resilience proposals that serve as policy recommendations for future action.

Title: Urban, suburban or rural? Understanding preferences for the residential environment
Abstract: 
 There are two ongoing trends that lead to changing preferences for the built environment. One concerns a demographic transition into more but smaller, and older, households. The other concerns greater possibilities to satisfy residential preferences due to rising incomes and technological advances. The current study explores the preference for the type of residential environment and the underlying motivations. The smaller municipality is most preferred (36%), followed by the city edge (32%), a rural area (13%), the city centre (11%) and no preference (7%). The city centre is preferred because of amenities, ambiance, liveliness and activities. The city edge is preferred because of peace and quiet and easy access to the dwelling. Social contact was rarely mentioned. In contrast, respondents who preferred a smaller municipality frequently mentioned social contact. Furthermore, feeling safe/secure and wellbeing were important items. Finally, respondents with a rural preference mentioned freedom and peace and quiet.

Title: Sense of place: trends from the literature
Abstract: 
 Scholars studying sense of place have introduced several separate yet related terms which are often used interchangeably including phrases like place attachment, place meaning, place identity, and place dependence. Given the lack of a coherent understanding for sense of place in the literature, it is challenging to study and operationalize the concept in a consistent way. In this study, we use publication data and citation data to clarify how sense of place has been defined and applied. Our findings show that sense of place has evolved over time, although it is in the last decade that scholarship has grown considerably. We also find that the dimensions used to define and measure the concept have changed with time and discipline. These results imply that scholars need to study sense of place in careful consideration of the dimensions that they want to investigate and the disciplinary context each study is embedded in.

Title: Overcoming flaws in permeability measures: modified route directness
Abstract: 
 Increased levels of walking have been associated with a range of individual and societal benefits, including reductions in energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, and improved public health. Recent scholarship has sought to provide evidence that good street connectivity encourages walking, and though some correlation is evident, the statistical significance of these studies is generally weak. This paper asserts that the most commonly used methods to measure street connectivity, intersection density and block length, are weakened by random variation, and more significantly, utterly fail to detect street patterns. An alternative measure, modified route directness, is introduced, and shown to be capable of measuring the impact of street pattern on permeability. A more effective measure of connectivity could help demonstrate the correlation between street connectivity and walking, enabling stronger arguments for changes regulatory activity and public investment that supports improved connectivity.

Title: One step ahead of the bulldozer: historic preservation in Houston, Texas
Abstract: 
 Community development corporations (CDCs) are often at the forefront of providing affordable housing and social services, restoring disinvested communities, and rebuilding neighborhoods. Most CDCs work in older, inner-city communities that, given their age and location, likely contain older and historic buildings. Thus, there is a seemingly logical overlap between community developers’ target neighborhoods and the tools, strategies, and resources associated with historic preservation. This article uses a qualitative case study of Houston’s Avenue CDC to explore how and why community developers use preservation within the context of a high-growth city. For more than two decades, Avenue has worked in three core neighborhoods in an effort to stave off gentrification via teardowns and townhome redevelopment. The findings show that, for community developers in growing cities, carefully crafted preservation strategies may be a way to challenge the forces of gentrification, displacement, and wholesale physical destruction.

Title: “Laboratorio Q”, Seville: creative production of collective spaces before and after austerity
Abstract: 
 The creative city approach is going through a redefinition after the 2008 global financial crisis. In the specific case of South-European cities, in the context of austerity and cuts in public investment, creativity is becoming a strategy for achieving maximum social benefit and improvement of the built environment with minimum economic expenditure. This paper looks at this redefinition of creativity through the case study of Seville, in southern Spain. Through research methods that include video-recorded testimonies of the actors involved, mapping at the online platform “Laboratorio Q”, and public engagement activities, this paper explores how the civic society, professional, and public authorities have reinvented how to produce collective spaces. The paper concludes that bottom-up creative processes for producing collective spaces have become more visible since the 2008 crisis, when architects, planners, public authorities and policy-makers have been “learning” from them.

Title: Stranger adaptations: public/private interfaces, adaptations, and ethnic diversity in Bankstown, Sydney
Abstract: 
 While geographical and planning literature has traditionally adopted a macro-scale focus when studying ethnic diversity, this has been recently supplemented by more fine-grained analyses of “everyday multiculturalism.” Although these micro-scale studies recognise that relationships between socialities and spatialities are important, the role of built form in framing these relationships is not much explored. With a view to extending this literature, this paper examines how experiences of ethnic diversity in public space are influenced by built form in the multicultural suburb of Bankstown, Sydney. Drawing on in-depth, semi-structured interviews with residents and users of Bankstown’s town centre, along with ArcGIS maps of the area’s urban morphology, the particular focus is on the role of public/private interface adaptations in affecting experiences and perceptions of cultural diversity. It is argued that these adaptations function as both facilitator and foil for the strategies people employ to negotiate the problematic Simmel associated with “the stranger.”

Title: Understanding the context of neighborhood parks: a method for public space classification
Abstract: 
 Neighborhood parks are recognized as key urban public spaces that serve the social, economic, and environmental needs of adjacent neighborhoods. However, relevant studies primarily focus on the contribution of neighborhood parks as discrete spaces, instead of neighborhood parks as built spaces within an urban context. This research provides a better understanding of the inter-relationships between various urban form measures and an alternative way of constructing public space typology based on the surrounding urban form. The research employs factor and cluster analysis to develop a typology of 150 neighborhood park contexts in the City of Chicago, Illinois. 150-neighborhood park surroundings are classified into six categories based on an understanding of the dimensional structure of urban form elements; however, the Chicago Park District currently classifies them into one broad category. The study also provides guidelines for urban design and physical planning strategies for neighborhood park development.

Title: Evaluating Landscape Urbanism: evidence from Lafayette Park, Detroit
Abstract: 
 The claims made for Landscape Urbanism have been difficult to evaluate, since they rely heavily on theoretical and aspirational arguments, and new projects to date have offered little post-occupancy evidence. However, more specific claims have also been made about historic projects as proposed precedents for Landscape Urbanism, and these offer a more substantial evidence base for the evaluation of claims. Here we take the claimed precedent of Detroit’s Lafayette Park, and evaluate the stated claims for its performance on social, economic and ecological criteria, in light of the available evidence. We conclude with an assessment of broader claims for Landscape Urbanism in light of the evidence we find in Lafayette Park.

Title: ‘Living outside the house’: how families raising young children in new, private high-rise developments experience their local environment
Abstract: 
 Families are increasingly choosing to raise children in the growing number of private, high-rise apartment complexes developed in Australian capital cities. However, most of these developments have been designed for the childless and there are concerns as to how supportive these settings are for young children. This paper explores parents’ experiences of the environment surrounding their high-rise dwellings in an inner-city municipality of Melbourne, Australia using the participatory method, Photovoice. Ten parents photographed elements of their dwellings and environments that had positive or negative impacts on raising young children. Findings indicate that environments surrounding parents’ high-rise dwellings were used on a daily basis, often due to limited space within apartment complexes. However, aspects of this environment were challenging, requiring mutual accommodation between families and their immediate settings. This has implications for policy to ensure the neighbourhoods surrounding high-rise developments in inner-city areas are more child friendly.

Title: Residents' preferences for private amenities and trade-offs associated with various spatial densities and patterns
Abstract: 
 Northwest Arkansas planning policies, like a number of communities across the country, have identified goals working toward more sustainable, livable, and subsequently denser development patterns. However, the understanding of residents’ perceptions of such living arrangements is limited. This study provides a more nuanced understanding of Northwest Arkansas residents’ spatial preferences through a survey of residents’ preferences for private amenities and their trade-off with various spatial densities and patterns in support of sustainability. Results of the survey indicate a preference for, and experience with, single-family residential living arrangements and amenities, with the preponderance (80%) of survey respondents currently living in single-family housing. There is a preference for low-density neighborhoods even if it means sacrificing other amenities. This study is in alignment with previous research suggesting that people may learn to prefer where they live. Additionally, while the majority of survey respondents indicated a preference for communal greenspaces, renters are more likely to prefer communal greenspaces when compared to homeowners. This study indicates that attached, multi-family development and renter development in Northwest Arkansas should consider the provision of communal green spaces, walkable access to transit, and walkable access to services as desired amenities for those residents.

Title: Do home buyers value the New Urbanist neighborhood? The case of Issaquah Highlands, WA
Abstract: 
 This study compares Issaquah Highlands’ home prices with those of traditional suburban single-family homes in the city of Issaquah. Issaquah Highlands is a community that was developed using New Urbanism principles. The null hypothesis is that the sale prices of houses in Issaquah Highlands are not different from the conventional suburban neighborhood in the city of Issaquah. The principal database consists of US Census Washington State Geospatial Data Archive, and the King County Tax Assessments. The final dataset contains 1,780 single family homes over the seven-year period from 2012 to 2018 based on sale records throughout the city of Issaquah. This study uses the hedonic pricing technique to assess the impact of New Urbanism on the value of single-family residences. The findings suggest that people are willing to pay a $92,700–96,800 premium (approximately 7.1–12.0 percent of the sales prices) for houses in Issaquah Highlands.

Title: Exploring the socio-spatial patterns of diversity and its influencing factors at a metropolitan scale
Abstract: 
 Responding to a critical gap in diversity studies which have been mostly dedicated to Western contexts, and setting the scene for celebrating an ignored issue in the Iranian context are the aims of this study. To these ends, Tehran is selected, and its socio-spatial patterns of diversity are studied through a GIS-based analysis. Results suggest that housing and residential diversity are highly correlated. Influencing factors of diversity also indicate that diverse neighborhoods are usually smaller ones with higher population density. Surprisingly, land-use diversity does not have any significant relationship with housing and residential diversity in Tehran neighborhoods. Residential diversity usually occurs in neighborhoods, where jobs opportunities are more available, open spaces are more frequent, and individuals feel more secure. Recovering balances between residential and housing predictory variables and planning in the scale of neighborhoods rather than urban regions are what planners should seek through the notion of planning for diversity.

Title: The assessed value of cultural destinations in Toronto
Abstract: 
 Theory suggests many benefits to a city from cultural destinations (CDs). This study offers a framework for evaluating CDs through studying visitors to CDs and visitors to other, less cultural destinations, which we call retail destinations (RDs). As each destination represents differing positions along our “cultural continuum,” we examine how visitors perceive the destinations and report their behaviors in each. We selected three CDs and three RDs in Toronto, surveying 30 adults in each destination about their behavior and impressions. Our findings show significant differences between the respondents in the CDs and the RDs. Some findings resonate with existing theory, in that CD respondents were more likely to be highly educated and White, non-Hispanic. However, other findings suggest avenues for examination, in that CD respondents did not report greater wealth or spending than did the RDs but did mention socializing as the primary reason for visiting a CD more so than those visiting an RD. These findings suggest that by encouraging CDs, cities may improve the quality of life for residents and visitors. Thus, cities might do well to use their municipal policy and economic development tools to drive revenues to cultural destinations or to foster CD uses in retail destinations.

Title: Anti-adaptive urbanism: long-term implications of building inward-turned neighborhoods in Israel
Abstract: 
 Theoretical models of neighborhood planning have changed substantially since the midst of the twentieth century. This is not necessarily the case, however, with the practice of planning and building new neighborhoods. Particularly, the influence of early-modernist models as ‘neighborhood unit” and “towers-in-the-park” remains extremely high. This paper ties these models with term “anti-adaptive urbanism” and highlights the qualities that make them stubborn: The comprehensiveness of the plan, meaning that such neighborhoods follow a complete plan prepared in advance, encompassing the public and private elements; and the hierarchical design dedicated for creating an inward-turned residential areas. Long-term socio-spatial implications of building such neighborhoods are investigated through comparing pairs of old (since the 1950s–1960s) and new (developed since the 1990s) neighborhoods constructed in five cities throughout Israel. Exploring the urban dynamics over the period of 1983–2013, the results reveal the socio-spatial burden of having anti-adaptive neighborhoods.

Title: Paolo Soleri and America’s Third Utopia: the sustainable City-Region
Abstract: 
 The ingredients of successful urbanism have been proposed by various scholars. However, their deployment has not always led to successful cities. Utopian visions are intended to help fill this gap. This article analyses Paolo Soleri’s main US arcology-based vision: Arcosanti. To what extent does Arcosanti constitute a realizable utopia, when it is only partially built and its chief architect is no longer able to shape the vision’s future implementation? It is argued that visionary urbanistic ideas put forward by intellectuals have influenced standard professional practice, pedagogy, and design and planning scholarship on the relationships between natural and built environments and more desirable human behaviours. The paper provides a distillation of thoughts to the operationalization of ideal communities in the 21st century.

Title: Aging and the built environment: is mobility constrained for institutionalized older adults?
Abstract: 
 This article analyzes the relation between the location and the surrounding built environment of residential care facilities for older adults and their users’ mobility. For this, interviews were carried out in 14 residential care facilities in Portugal to understand the degree to which users leave the facilities walking, and what their main motivation and perceived barriers are. In locu observations to assess the walkability of the surrounding environment and to map the services and amenities at a 400 m and 800 m radius were also conducted. It was found that many older adults leave the facilities on foot and that their main motivation to do so was to access a specific service. These findings stress the importance of the broader location of these facilities and, in particular, the proximity to primary services, as fundamental components of an active lifestyle in institutionalized older adults and their integration in the neighborhood.

Title: A tale of two cities - A comparative study of historical urban cores
Abstract: 
 This research explores urban patterns in historic settlements inside fortification walls by comparing two European cities. Similarities in their historical development raised the question of whether they share urban morphotypes at the block level. To address this question, we conducted an urban matrix analysis using k-means clustering, applied to a database of morphological attributes from two different urban elements – buildings and urban blocks – with buildings considered as parts of blocks. Data revealed common patterns and unique features of each city and helped assess the degree of similarity among them. Results suggest that the two cities have different development outcomes. Six block types were identified, four of which were found in both cities but with a different distribution of prevailing building types. Moreover, two of them were found to be unique to each city. We offer potential explanations of the observed differences and discuss them.

Title: A systematisation of policies and programs focused on informal urban settlements: reviewing the cases of São Paulo, Luanda, and Istanbul
Abstract: 
 Urban growth, particularly in developing countries, has been impacted by the financial and institutional incapacity to provide affordable housing, leading to the development of large informal urban settlements. The support provided by international financial institutions, the growing economic capacity, and the interest from the real estate market have been responsible for the emergence of interventions, programs, and policies directed at informal urban settlements, with the goal to improve or replace them. This paper explores the modalities adopted for such upgrading projects in São Paulo, Luanda, and Istanbul. Using a categorization system, the research shows that the interventions in São Paulo are more concerned with keeping the residents in-situ, while the public authorities in Luanda and Istanbul show a preference for relocation and eradication of informal urban settlements, even though Luanda has recently shown a certain degree of change in its approach.

Title: Spatial urban density modelling using the concept of carrying capacity: a case study of Isfahan, Iran
Abstract: 
 Carrying capacity can significantly affect both the density and heights of buildings in a particular area. While every country has its own approach to achieving equilibrium between building density and height, poor planning and violation of building height regulations can have a negative impact on urban structure and form. This paper presents a model that predicts the degree to which a new building construction affects urban landscape and density. The required parameters for the model were determined using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Delphi methods.The model produced rapid and accurate results with sample data for a medium-size city in Isfahan province, Iran which were then visually validated using three-dimensional visualisation in GIS environment. The model has the potential to facilitate the maintenance of equilibrium between building height and density. It can also assist to identify and prevent some violations of building height regulations in rapidly growing cities.

Title: Young people: being apart, together in an urban park
Abstract: 
 Against the background of studies that report on urban park spaces as supporting inclusive city life and promoting tolerance and belonging, the present study investigated the spatial dimensions of gathering and othering in Wilhelminapark, Utrecht, the Netherlands. Using observational research and on-site group interviews, we found a diversity of users performing a diversity of activities. The presence of known or unknown visitors was given as an important reason to visit Wilhelminapark, although our results show that there is little interaction between different groups of users. The latter aligns with a critical strand of literature that suggests that co-presence does not necessarily result in meaningful contact between the users of public spaces. Young people tend to socialize or relax with their own group, which makes park visits mostly an in-group activity. At the same time, being together with other visitors is an important element in the attractiveness of this park space.

Title: Emerging narratives of parking supply and demand in contemporary cities
Abstract: 
 Public views and perceptions surrounding parking demand and supply in Australian cities remain underexplored in the academic literature. In this exploratory study, we draw on written and oral qualitative data to set forth popular narratives and sentiments on parking supply and demand. We reveal two competing storylines. The first and more traditional one casts (free) parking as a “birthright” that is to be retained at all cost. The second and more recent storyline – which aligns closely to the position of contemporary planners – casts cars and parking as a “scourge” to be combated in order to restore urban liveability. We conclude that the emergence of this more recent storyline bodes well for the sustainability of urban areas.

Title: Living in the diagram: from Utopian landscape to modest urban neighborhood
Abstract: 
 The Colonia Federal neighborhood in Mexico City presents a striking octagonal urban form. Spread out over 83 hectares adjacent to the international airport, it is home to some 12,000 people. This paper examines the origins of the neighborhood in the city’s post-revolutionary zeitgeist, and its development over time amid the vicissitudes of legal battles and infrastructure delays. It further considers changes that have transformed the neighborhood over the past two decades, including upzoning, an aging population, and a growing spate of demolitions to replace single-family homes with apartment buildings. Finally, the paper takes a close look at the subtle navigational affect induced by the neighborhood’s diagrammatic form. In the end, despite its extraordinary design, Colonia Federal has developed into a surprisingly ordinary neighborhood, one that began with lofty ambitions for the creation of an instantaneous utopia, but grew through the incremental, adaptive, make-do urban process typical of Mexico City.

Title: Greater Zurich does not use land parsimoniously: despite the spatial planning act, which has been in force since 1980
Abstract: 
 An overconsumption of land for building and urban use has resulted from rising incomes, falling transport costs, separating urban land use, restricting building heights and densities, and the lack of internalizing negative externalities. This paper empirically analyses whether land in Greater Zurich is used parsimoniously. Furthermore, it proposes changes in planning and policy that would be necessary to overcome the implementation deficit of the federal Spatial Planning Act (RPG). The analysis measures the distribution and mix of residents, workers, and retail workers and the change in land use. It also examines the relationship between public transport and building zones. Consequently, although intensification in residents has occurred since 1990 and workers since 1995/96, the distribution of residents and workers at central locations indicates that land in 2014 is used neither sufficiently intensively nor in a balanced way. Therefore, in Greater Zurich, price-based regulations need to supplement the current purely quantity-based regulations.

Title: Urban spatial structure in central Iran: introduction & analysis of sahe-ja
Abstract: 
 Modernization of Iranian cities during the 20th century has radically altered and, in some instances, completely destroyed parts of the historic fabric of cities. Two approaches have dominated efforts to address these impacts: development-driven and conservation-driven. Because both approaches originate outside the complex and fragile contexts of Iran’s historic fabric, their respective and collective outcomes have proven neither logical nor practical. Scholars have proposed a third, context-driven option, which urban planners and municipal officials try to restore and preserve urban fabric according to their structure while also maintaining quality of life for residents. Applying the context-driven approach to the spatial structure of the Ali-Gholi-Agha quarter in Isfahan reveals one such discrete element: a semipublic type of space called “sahe-ja.” By interrogating whether and to what extent sahe-ja serves as a determinative element in the quarter’s historic urban fabric, this paper demonstrates the logic and practicality of the context-driven approach.

Title: Exploring sustainable urbanism in masterplanned developments: a collective case study of slippage between principles, policies, and practices
Abstract: 
 This article is concerned with masterplan implementation and with exploring, via recourse to case studies, slippages between masterplanning principles, policies, and practices. Framed by a growing body of sustainable urbanism literature we analyse evidence from five masterplanned communities in the UK and Australia to comparatively explore how some key theoretical principles are translated into placemaking in inner urban, suburban, outer urban and semi-rural contexts. We observe varying degrees of disjuncture between masterplanning principles and the urban form envisioned by, and realized through, actual masterplanning proposals and implementation. We postulate that various degrees of slippage at each stage from proposals to practices have occurred which can affect capacity to meet principles of sustainable urbanism. Analysis of the five cases demonstrates where some potential “tripping-up” points lie in the masterplanning process, hinting at broader impediments to delivering masterplanning that is more closely aligned to sustainable urbanism principles in future.

Title: The sound of new urbanism
Abstract: 
 Understanding the nexus between soundscape and urban form is challenging. This research explores soundscapes in new urbanist (NU) developments to contribute to the urban form studies of sound environment. NU developments promote the quality of life (QoL) in dense, walkable settings with mixed-use buildings. An under-examined, yet critical aspect of New Urbanism approach is the soundscape. To study the relationship between soundscape and NU, this research investigates soundscapes from NU developments by assessing preference of 95 residents and visitors as well as on-site sound pressure level (SPL) measurements within five NU developments in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. Findings suggest that soundscapes of NU developments are overall at the high SPLs and differ at various development typologies with significant implications for urban form. The research proposes recognizing the sound-related attributes of urban form so that sound-related resolutions can be applied to other geographical and planning practices.

Title: Park access policies: measuring the effects of the introduction of fees and women-only days on the volume of park visitors and physical activity in Bahrain
Abstract: 
 Some parks suffer from overuse, which raises safety issues. Municipalities introduced access-control policies such as entrance fees and women-only days. We studied the impact of these policies on the volume of visitors in one park and the consequent reduction of physical activity. A year-long timestamped categorized visitor log allowed for before/after comparisons tested for statistical significance at a 99% confidence level. We used the International Physical Activity Questionnaire to quantify physical activity at the park and estimated the amount lost due to the new admittance policies. The number of park visitors declined 86% after the introduction of entrance fees, with a consequent loss of 24% of an individual’s weekly physical activity, reducing the efficiency of the park. Unexpectedly, women-only days are associated with an increase in the ratio of children per woman from 1.4 to 2.33, reflecting a change in parental behavior, which suggests an increased sense of security.

Title: The rise and fall of the American pedestrian mall
Abstract: 
 This research provides a historical analysis of the American experiment with pedestrian malls. Specifically, we ask why some pedestrian malls have failed and were reopened to vehicular traffic while others have succeeded. Over 120 post-war malls from across the United States are statistically analysed, examining the relationship between the mall’s lifespan and a variety of geographic, demographic, and economic factors. Using a Cox proportional hazard model, we find that cities’ population density, the median age of the residents, the percent of the population that is white, proximity to beach, whether or not the City is a tourism destination, length of the mall, and the percent of sunny days are all significant in explaining a pedestrian mall’s longevity. In addition, we also examine qualitative, design-based characteristics in order to better understand why certain pedestrian malls, despite their locational disadvantages, have thrived to the present day.

Title: Public open spaces in private developments in Hong Kong: new spaces for social activities?
Abstract: 
 Private ownership of publicly-accessible space is a phenomenon that is increasingly being adopted in new urban developments in many cities around the world. The purpose and role of these spaces, especially in Hong Kong, has been widely criticised for failing to eﬀectively engage with the public realm of the city, a fact which, in addition to being a cause for concern for the Hong Kong government, has raised questions about the beneﬁts of the programme.Using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, this study examines 28 public open spaces in private development (POSPD) in the ﬁnancial district of Hong Kong with the aim of both evaluating the spatial characteristics as well as understanding their potential contribution to the multilevel structure of this dense urban area. The research further establishes a new evaluation index as an alternative theoretical framework to assess other critical aspects which may aﬀect their capacity to encourage social activities.The results of the study suggest that, although a large percentage of the POSPDs analysed are not providing positive impact to the district, they hold signiﬁcant potential which, with new strategies in place, could greatly enrich the pedestrian and social experience in Hong Kong’s dynamic and complex urban environment.

Title: Extreme-city-territories. Coastal geographies in the Veneto region
Abstract: 
 Water urbanism and more in general climate change adaptation are an essential part of urban transition processes. While sea level rising demands a re-evaluation of the new geography of extreme-cities, it emerges a temporal and conceptual gap between climate prediction, policies, adaptation strategies, and factual interventions. Consequently, the very same method of urban analysis needs to be reconsidered in light of this new horizon. This paper addresses extreme-cities as spaces of transition, and analyses the case of the Veneto Region via a multi-scalar process of mapping entailing: (i) zoning transition; (ii) mapping microtopography; (iii) sampling urban-topographical patterns; (iv) re-designing a territorial transect. The resulting representations disclose two types of information: (a) they suggest a set of rules for transitioning urban landscape in coastal areas according to different SRL scenarios; (b), they indicate the specificities of the same study area, disclosing a taxonomy of past and potential future elements of modification.

Title: Immigration, education, sense of community and mental well-being: the case of visible minority immigrants in Canada
Abstract: 
 Immigrants often cite improvements in quality of life as the motivation for immigration, yet it can lead to the loss of social networks, family and community ties. This article employed key informant interviews to explore visible minorities’ sense of community from the perspectives of immigrant resettlement service providers. Nine key informants were interviewed to document visible minority immigrants’ experiences in Canada, and how this affected their sense of community. Participants identified barriers to immigrants’ development of a new sense of community, including discrimination tied to improper placement within the Canadian educational system, unemployment/underemployment, poor housing conditions, language barriers, and lack of social support networks. Confronting these barriers will require creating a stronger sense of community by providing more and better support of immigrants, visible minorities and everyone across Canada. This would help eliminate discrimination against ethnic minorities and enhance a sense of community belonging amongst visible minorities in Canada.

Title: Sharing feelings about neighborhood transformation on Facebook: online affective placemaking in Amsterdam-Noord
Abstract: 
 Social media have become important platforms for residents to engage with their neighborhood. This paper investigates two Facebook communities that focus in distinctly different ways on Amsterdam-Noord, a gentrifying neighborhood in Amsterdam. Dialogue on both Facebook communities is found to be thoroughly affective, but the kinds of emotions and the way such emotions are generated and shared differ. Through this analysis, this paper seeks to understand how “affective publics” emerge through a specific form of collaborative storytelling, characterized by tone, form as well as rhythm of online interaction. We show how the channeling of affective expression and attunement helps to build two dissimilar collaborative discourses of the neighborhood transformation. We propose the term online affective placemaking to study and articulate such processes. The term points to mediated feelings and urgency to engage, which bonds participants and impacts the social and political landscape within the neighborhood.

Title: Emotional diners and rational eaters – constructing the urban lunch experience
Abstract: 
 Lunch is an urban phenomenon relatable to people of all age groups. Nationally-legislated-free lunches for children at day-care, schools, universities and at workplace canteens have a long history in the Finnish welfare society. In this article, the meaning-making of having lunch is shown to be mainly – but not solely – rational, and the sensory and emotional information received from the environment is verbally and rationally interpreted by the interviewees. In comparison, local food events are experiential and embodied in terms of the senses. It is asked whether there are common elements between those two contexts of eating and if some of the findings from the experiential side of eating might be applied to everyday eating occasions, thus contributing to urban conviviality.

Title: Urban food forestry networks and Urban Living Labs articulations
Abstract: 
 This article wrestles with the theoretical complexity of fostering food sustainability transitions in metropoles. It pays attention to how urban food forestry networks cultivated in parks may represent a critical part of these transitions, by providing a mechanism for urban peoples to reconnect with food processes while enhancing biodiversity and ecosystem services. The work considers this crucial topic, both theoretically and empirically, in two steps. First, a brief overview of utopian models and the critical literature grounds the discussion of the proposed regenerative place-making model. Second, the work weaves considerations regarding a utopian model of urban food forestry network, by conceptualising Urban Living Labs (ULLs) as flexible nodes of articulation. The work concludes that the key to unlocking this model’s potential for replication and transplantation to distinct localities lies as much in the multiple values entailed by the proposed intervention as it does in its flexible nodes of articulation.

Title: Scaffolding transitions of possibility: the food walk as embodied method in Singapore
Abstract: 
 Resilient food infrastructures responsive to instability and change often form at the urban edge of food systems. As such, they could take heed of knowledge practices that occur at the urban edge. This paper conceptualizes learning as a co-productive activity that can be scaffolded by space, and examines how it applies to the re-imagination of food systems. By considering walking as a method in the design of desired foodscapes, this paper addresses how “time niches” foster embodied knowledges of care and haptic connection. The two cases that illustrate this – a set of walking workshops with Singapore-based participants and a visualising workshop with visiting conference participants – consider how so-called lay and expert knowledges may come together in knowledge co-production in future-making practices. The paper explores how civic and decolonial practices occur in the sustainability transition of food.

Title: The foodscape of the urban poor in Jakarta: street food affordances, sharing networks, and individual trajectories
Abstract: 
 In Jakarta’s poor kampungs, out-of-home purchase of ready-to-eat products from street vendors, the lack of home cooking and public eating produce a foodscape where the boundaries between the home and the public space seem blurred. The aim of this paper is to define those boundaries in accordance with the cultural, social and economic context by analyzing how street food practices shape and produce the space. Following an ethnographic and qualitative approach, and a representative quantitative survey we described and measured individual and collective food practices in relationship with the uses and perceptions of space. The study shows that eating practices in the kampung depend mainly on street foods as home-cooking practices decrease. But still, the dynamic spatial display of the food system and the communalization of the public areas generate sharing networks that go beyond the household toward the community formed by eaters, street vendors, neighbors and family. The preference for traditional cuisine and the familiar environment of the vicinity in which this food model is rooted enlarge the concept of “homemade” and redefine the roles and dimensions of “out-of-home” food practices.

Title: Planning for a sustainable food system. The potential role of urban agriculture in Lisbon Metropolitan Area
Abstract: 
 A sustainable transition of planning practices is paramount for municipalities to improve urban environments. Shelter, mobility, and food constitute three basic human needs, which any inhabitant depends on, but attention placed by planning authorities to each differs. The spatial implications of these needs are fundamental for urban design and planning practices. This article ascertains how Portuguese municipal planning has integrated food system concerns and urban agriculture, including design typologies. Starting from a critical perspective on the current land-uses of the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (LMA) and from case-studies of existing urban agriculture examples, this article shows that to promote urban resilience, one needs to account for the food system and use urban design as a tool for optimizing the role of mixed land-uses in urban environments, opportune for a sustainable transition of the LMA.

Title: Digging up the past: urban agriculture narratives in Melbourne and São Paulo
Abstract: 
 As urban agriculture becomes increasingly recognised as a contributor to nutritional and civic wellbeing, real estate developers and community associations have promoted it to advance distinct agendas. The article analyses this phenomenon in Melbourne and São Paulo, where colonial and industrial legacies have set the stage for urban agriculture’s resurgence and resulting “internal contradictions.” Developers of upmarket condominiums in both cities advertise urban agriculture as a purchasable commodity capable of recovering customers’ lost connections with nature and each other. However, the gentrifying effects of these developments deepen rather than alleviate social and environmental ills. By contrast, community projects profiled in four case studies emphasised urban agriculture’s ability to confront the long-term neglect of land, employment, and environment. We conclude that the capacity of urban agriculture to improve food systems is enhanced when proponents develop historically informed narratives that engage and inform consumers and municipal governments.

Title: Walkability – the New Urbanism principle for urban regeneration
Abstract: 
 Walking should be one of the primary modes of transportation in sustainable cities, being more environmentally friendly, sociable, and health conscious. The principles of New Urbanism (NU) promote walkability, creating urban patterns that support the needs of pedestrians. With that in mind, this study aims to define the relationship between walkability and NU in the context of urban regeneration, establishing the urban attributes that influence walkability in the revival of post-industrial areas. The research comes from a statistical analysis of the flow of people in Księży Młyn (Poland) and a field study from Carré de Soie (France) where urban attributes potentially determining walkability were evaluated. The study confirms that pedestrian traffic and urban form can be optimised through a holistic approach. It sets out the relationship between walkability and various phenomena, including i) social – how users behave in public spaces (the role of pedestrians and cars), and to whom the space is dedicated; ii) economic – how the attractiveness of the service and commercial offer are improving, and how real estate prices are changing; and iii) environmental – how the visual attractiveness of the place and the convenience of the space for pedestrians has improved (shop frontage and accessibility).

Title: The use of morphological description in neighbourhood planning: form-based assessment of physical character and design rules
Abstract: 
 Despite ongoing efforts to encourage the use of urban morphology tools into current practice, uptake remains limited. Shortcomings are largely attributed to time and resource intensive methods of historical settlement transformation study. However, developments in quantitative morphological approaches offer new possibilities for efficiency and easier adoption of research tools in practice. This paper proposes the use of typo-morphology methods to inform the adoption of form-based design guidance in neighbourhood master plans. The aim of the study is to develop a comprehensive yet flexible method for form-based character assessment (FBCA) of residential streets. The resulting FBCA classification identifies streets where compliance with form-based design rules could be tightened. The FBCA method is empirically tested in the context of the local neighbourhood plan for Radlett, Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom, offering reflections from practice on the usefulness and limitations of the method.

Title: Designing urban parks for inclusion, equity, and diversity
Abstract: 
 Urban parks are vital spaces that provide the much-needed open space in cities offering numerous benefits and opportunities. One of the prime roles of urban parks is to fulfill the physiological and psychological needs of diverse populations. Empirically observing and analyzing park use can be an important tool toward reducing the gap between user needs and the planning, design, and management of urban parks. This paper reports the findings of systematic observation and evaluation of park design and management of two major urban parks in Cincinnati, Ohio. First, we conduct systematic on-site observation and document user-activity patterns at different times of day and week. Second, we graphically represent the observations using outputs from qualitative and quantitative analyses. Finally, we synthesize and analyze the observations to identify the dominant users of the parks, their behaviors and activities, and the utility of the park designs and facilities in serving the needs of the diverse social groups. The findings provide useful insights on aspects of park design that create affordances for diverse groups to use the park and ones that create territorial segregation, thus showing whether contemporary parks are inclusive, equitable, and diverse or not. The paper concludes with recommendations for designing for diversity in urban parks.

Title: Realised pedestrian accessibility of an informal settlement in Jakarta, Indonesia
Abstract: 
 To date, little is known about the interplay between transport, land use and the social systems that influence potential and realised accessibility in Southeast Asia. This paper aims to understand these relationships in an informal settlement – a kampong – at the edge of the upscale Menteng district, Jakarta. We applied a mixed-methods approach of (1) a computational street network analysis using space syntax, (2) video analysis to understand travel behaviour and land use and (3) an analysis of street users’ experiences collected through interviews. Our findings indicated that the pedestrian accessibility was not fully realised due to unsupportive land uses and negative perceptions of walking experienced by kampong inhabitants. Marginalised groups became captive pedestrians limited in their mobility choices. This study provides insights into Jakarta’s informal settlements and how urban planning can contribute to sustainable development for inclusive, safe, and resilient cities.

Title: From underdetermined to overdetermined space: public/private interfaces and activities in residential alleys
Abstract: 
 The underlying logic of two well-established urban design concepts, active use and active interface, while applicable to streets and activity centres, may have limited bearing on residual urban spaces. As such spaces can be perceived as problematic, they are often replaced with conventional forms rather than valued for their uniqueness. This study examines the relationships between public/private interfaces and activities in residential alleys in Melbourne, Australia. These alleys are undervalued urban features that sum to vast amounts of land in areas deprived of public space. They are reappropriated for social activities and are also used as access for infill developments. The findings show that the conventional infill developments create overdetermined conditions that limit social activities. In contrast, the impermeable and blank interfaces that would be problematic elsewhere enable a wide range of usage. The key quality of these preferred interfaces is underdetermination, where multiple possibilities could emerge and exist simultaneously.

Title: Appropriating public space: transformations of public life and loose parts in urban villages
Abstract: 
 Appropriation of public space is a widespread trope of informal urbanism, attributed with supporting community bonds and economic livelihoods. Yet, appropriations remain confined to acclamations of their flexibility or chastised as encroachments, without an understanding of how and why they appear in particular urban conditions. Existing narratives that link appropriation to ambiguous demarcations, regulatory restraints, and spatial affordances, are ultimately insufficient. This paper investigates public space appropriation and its transformation through extensive mapping of twelve urban villages across China and India. As erstwhile rural communities are enveloped by the formal city, they subsequently densify, exacerbating the pressure on public space. This study draws attention to the impact of densification on the intensity and distribution of appropriation. It invokes the concept of “public space arenas” to argue that people not only passively use space but are enacting performative codes as they tacitly monitor public space appropriations in a self-regulatory process.

Title: Urban porosity: a chronicle of spatial inclusion in Matonge, Brussels
Abstract: 
 This article explores the concept of porosity as a metaphorical device to investigate the interplay between urban space and urban inclusion. It develops a diachronic case study of Brussels’ so-called “Congolese” or “African” neighbourhood of Matonge, drawing from urban analysis and fieldwork observations. Different historical and current modalities of city-making (including formal plans, urban projects and more “spontaneous” forms of urbanization) are examined in their respective impact on social exclusion and inclusion. This way, the aim is to reflect on the peculiar role of the built environment vis-à-vis socio-cultural diversity and inclusion. It will be argued that the notion of urban porosity allows to shed light on the intricate interplay between the formation of urban form and its subsequent capacity to “include” diverse forms of urban life. The case study of Brussels’ neighbourhood of Matonge thus advances porosity as a qualifier of space in view of urban inclusion.

Title: Understanding passengers’ fear of crime at train stations through neighbourhood types: a typological study of the Copenhagen metropolitan area
Abstract: 
 This paper presents a typomorphological analysis of train station neighbourhoods to examine passengers’ fear of crime at the station in relation to the surrounding urban form. The study defines station neighbourhood types in the Copenhagen Metropolitan area within the pedestrian catchment area, an 800 m (1/2 mile) radius around the 84 S-train stations. The types are defined through a typomorphological analysis based on urban parameters related to Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) and Placemaking. The types are compared with 9 years of passenger surveys of fear of crime at these stations. The analysis establishes three dominant station neighbourhood types and demonstrates the relationship between them and passengers’ fear of crime at the stations. The research underlines the importance of the surrounding urban environment in the design and governance of train stations, and proposes a typomorphological method to identify potentials in regional planning and in upgrade of transit-oriented developments.

Title: Precedents in routine and non-routine design situations: an empirical study based on two contrasting urban development projects
Abstract: 
 Precedents, recognized as stimuli in the design process, are rarely the subject of research in the field of urban studies. This article seeks to redress the balance by exploring the design processes of two urban projects. The case studies in question were chosen for their apparent differences: the routine design of a neighborhood centred on a light-rail stop in Portland, Oregon, USA, and the non-routine design of a new commercial and leisure hub in Montpellier, France. Despite these differences, a comparison of the design processes reveals two constants: first, designers in both cases use precedents – both endogenous and exogenous – to guide and evaluate development proposals; and second, precedents are closely linked with local knowledge used to contextualize design propositions. This local knowledge has a prescriptive value in the design process and determines how precedents are used.

Title: The sound perceptions of urban pavements by sighted and visually impaired people – a case study in Surabaya, Indonesia
Abstract: 
 The valuation of pavements using sound aspects is crucial for a country with poor pavement conditions and a large population of visually impaired people. This study recruited sighted and visually impaired participants to conduct a “soundwalk” to appraise the urban pavements. It was held in-situ on nine renovated pavement segments in Surabaya, Indonesia. Data were collected using a questionnaire comprising open and closed-ended questions in the format of a semantic scale. The SPL was also measured to describe the sound level concerning participants’ sonic perception. The semantic data were then extracted using varimax-rotated principal component analysis with a polychoric correlation. The sighted group elicits two solid soundscape dimensions; pleasantness and eventfulness. The visually impaired group evokes four soundscape dimensions; pleasantness-direction-safety, space, eventfulness, and contour. The soundscape dimensions reflect the pavements’ critical factors and show that visually impaired participants appraise the pavements in more detail than the sighted.

Title: Does compact development in midsize cities contribute to quality of life?
Abstract: 
 Compactness of cities has been introduced as one of the policies to ensure a higher level of quality of life (QOL). Although it has been claimed that urban compactness will increase the QOL, the empirical research on the topic, especially in developing counties, is quite limited. this research attempts to find the effects of compactness on subjective Physical-Environmental Quality of Life (PEQOL). For this purpose, three midsize cities in Iran are selected as case studies. By applying Explorative Factor Analysis (EFA), three domains are identified to represent compactness: density-mixed uses, accessibility, and centrality. Moreover, to find PEQOL domains, 1078 questionnaires were administered in three cities. Using EFA, five domains of environment, access to services, access to educational land uses, transportation, and housing were identified as PEQOL underlying domains. Multivariate Regression Analysis (MRA) is used to explore the relationship between compactness and PEQOL. The results of the MRA reveal that there is a significant relationship between compactness and PEQOL. Also, the relationship between PEQOL and factors contributing the most to compactness was explored. The results show that the density-mixed use is the only domain that explains PEQOL variance in all cities studied.

Title: The “public-isation” of private space – towards a charter of public space rights and responsibilities
Abstract: 
 There has been much written about the “privatisation of public space”. This paper explores and challenges these narratives by questioning whether we have seen a privatisation at all. Through an analysis of historic and contemporary data, it concludes that, in London at least, we have actually witnessed the reverse, a “public-isation of private space”. The paper goes on to ask what are the management implications of the trend? It finds that the negative associations around privatisation are often misplaced and that public-isation processes have the potential to deliver a substantial net gain to society. At the same time, the public interest management implications are just as real for public-isation as for privatisation processes. Through action research the idea of public authorities adopting a charter of public space rights and responsibilities is tested in order that the potential benefits of public space projects are captured and negative impacts avoided.

Title: An approach to visual interaction analysis of urban spaces. Central Barcelona as a case study
Abstract: 
 Beyond the binary, traditional, figure-ground reading of urban patterns, this research presents a graduated expression of the geometry of urban spaces from a perceptive point of view. This highlights the spatial relationships and introduces a new set of criteria to evaluate contemporary open spaces according to visual experience. The study produces an innovative reading of central Barcelona by mapping of Visual Clustering Coefficient, one of the parameters derived from the Visual Graph Analysis of isovists.

Title: The evolution of pathways linking main streets and marketplaces to home-based business locations in Hanoi, Vietnam
Abstract: 
 This paper explores the spatial complexities of Hanoi’s urban form, with a focus on the evolution of the pathways linking the front door of individual households engaged in home-based income-generating activities, and the local main streets and marketplaces that provide opportunities for commerce. The pathway is an overlooked spatial element in existing urban studies, despite its critical importance in urban dwellers’ everyday lives. At the city scale, a space syntax methodology is employed to examine the changing configuration of the street network in Hanoi across five historical periods. The analysis simulates the distribution of human movement across the network, highlighting the natural formation and changes to major economic hubs. The formation, evolution, and spatial character of these pathways are then examined at the neighbourhood scale, by employing three-dimensional mapping and semi-structured on-site interviews with Home-Based Business owners. The paper extends existing understandings of how urban form influences citizens’ economic well-being.

Title: The safety of public space: urban design guidelines for neighborhood park planning
Abstract: 
 Neighborhood parks are recognized as key urban public spaces that potentially add value to adjacent neighborhoods. Safety is an important measure of neighborhood park success, and thereby an important criterion of its social value. However, little empirical research has examined physical attributes of neighborhood park contexts and their correlation with crime. The present research provides an in-depth understanding of the relationship between the morphological context of neighborhood parks, and property/violent crimes. It employed a multiple regression analysis to explore this relationship for 150 neighborhood park contexts within the City of Chicago, revealing that variables associated with high-density, permeability, and mixed-use development do not necessarily correlate with reduced property/violent crime rates. However, some variables representing “traditional neighborhood” characteristics do correlate with lower property/violent crime rates. This study can assist urban designers and planners to develop appropriate urban design guidelines for neighborhood park planning.

Title: Developed vs. undeveloped streets in Da Nang, Vietnam: which are more usable, and for whom?
Abstract: 
 The improvement of street space, in both physical and non-physical aspects, has brought a new-look to the city but also raised some controversy. Undeveloped streets, despite their lower quality and fewer amenities, still prove to have a certain attraction to urban residents. This study explores users’ perceived usage of street space based on physical and non-physical attributes that help fill the knowledge gap in street design and development. The results show that higher-income individuals tend to gather and participate in activities on modern streets, while lower-income individuals have a tendency to use undeveloped streets. This result supports the hypothesis that differences in demography can lead to differences in environmental perceptions. These findings also provide empirical evidence of the irrationality of street improvement in Vietnam, which primarily focuses on physical factors but omits non-physical elements. The study also gives suggestions for street improvements and development in Vietnam, in particular, which can be applied in countries with similar socio-economic and cultural contexts.

Title: Food assets for whom? Community perspectives on food asset mapping in Canada
Abstract: 
 Food asset mapping is an emerging tool to promote food security and food resiliency in Canadian cities. It provides a baseline of a city’s food assets and identifies local food infrastructures that can support community food security. Mainstream food asset maps predominantly focus on the built environment, giving less consideration to the natural environment and social assets. Moreover, in the absence of community perspectives, informal, and racialized food spaces might not even be considered. Drawing upon the findings from a community focus group and food asset mapping workshop, we engaged diverse community members from the City of Vancouver (n=20) to further define and identify key food assets in Vancouver. Of note, several participants raised their discomfort with the term “asset”, especially within the context of colonialization in Vancouver, and raised the question of who gets to define what is and what is not a “food asset.”

Title: Subsurface visualization in the planning products of disaster scapes in the USA and Japan
Abstract: 
 Global challenges of ongoing urbanization especially in areas with increased coastal, fluvial and pluvial flooding cannot be solved by mere engineering solutions. Reversed Engineering with Nature is a concept that puts the natural system central, but it does seek symbioses with engineering systems into a new hybrid condition. This spatial hybridity is not only about integrating natural and engineered systems but also in considering surface and subsurface as one united space. Anticipating global challenges by synchronizing natural and engineered system and the spatial planning of surface and subsurface means innovating governance processes and products. This paper focusses on the question on how to integrate information the natural and engineered systems in surface and subsurface in urban development plans. The study of a series of plans for the case studies, New York (USA) and Natori (Japan), both struck by natural disasters, should expose the role of technical information. Especially the impact of an disaster to which usually engineering solutions are installed is an important test factor in this study. The conclusions show that the role of the spatial plan defines the visualization, to work consciously with the effects of climate change, it is important to include the subsurface information.

Title: Urban and environmental regeneration in Mexican cities: a design framework
Abstract: 
 The social and environmental crises of Mexican cities demand an urgent search for solutions through design projects capable of both mitigation and recovery. This article proposes a design framework for projects that can result in an urban and environmental regeneration for these cities. This framework uses the concepts of territorial scale, hybrid systems, and urban ecotones, and it results from a revision of emerging theories and the application of the framework in two design projects in Mexico: A Green Corridor System for Hermosillo and a Blue Ring for Tampico. The proposed design framework contributes to the emerging planning context in Mexico while employing existing tools and studies. The article concludes that the proposed design framework can reinforce territorial identities by facilitating the regeneration of the urban artifact and by enabling the use natural ecosystems.

Title: Formal and cultural readings of a vanished community: explorations of the Jewish district of Łódź
Abstract: 
 The development of Łódź as a 19th century Eastern European industrial town has been widely researched, including in the disciplines of urban studies and urban morphology. The Jewish district, mostly ruined during WWII and under communist rule, has been less researched, despite Łódź’s rich Jewish heritage. Under the postulation that urban form expresses the history of living communities, this paper seeks to find “past ghosts” of the vanished Jewish community of Łódź. The analysis is based on formal data augmented by cultural material. The aim is to examine the Jewish inhabitants’ everyday lives and their use of the urban space to reveal how the development of the Jewish district was related to its residents’ identity. The conclusion is twofold; although perceived as different, the Jewish district did not differ formally from the town it resided in, and thus, cultural reading is necessary to understand morphological developments. The paper raises issues of place and identity, which are relevant throughout history and in the present, amid the national, ethnic and religious contests manifested in urban everyday life.

Title: The immigrant effect on commuting modal shares: variation and consistency across metropolitan zones
Abstract: 
 The literature has identified an “immigrant effect” in commuting modal shares, accounting for higher reliance on public transit. Few studies have, however, studied the immigrant effect at the intra-metropolitan scale. This paper relies on individual- and census tract-level data to identify relations between immigrant modal shares and housing location within three metropolitan concentric zones (inner city, inner and outer suburb) and selected socioeconomic variables. Findings from the Toronto metropolitan area confirm the existence of an immigrant effect, as immigrants register higher levels of transit use than the domestically born population in all categories of residential location across the metropolitan region. The paper reflects on reasons for, and sustainability consequences of, disproportional immigrant transit reliance in sectors, such as the outer suburb, that are poorly served by transit. It suggests a demand-driven transit strategy that would involve adjusting services to the higher transit reliance of immigrants.

Title: Comparing approaches in urban morphology
Abstract: 
 Comparing different approaches to urban form has been acknowledged as one of the most important lines of research in urban morphology. This challenge has been reinforced over the last decade. While some studies compare different morphological perspectives, others attempt to go one step further, establishing composite views. In both cases, there is still a need to undertake more systematic research supported by rigorous comparisons of findings. Against this background, the paper seeks to demonstrate the benefits of an integrated morphological approach for a better understanding of human settlements. For that purpose, the article compares the separate application of three dominant perspectives on urban form (historico-geographical, process typological and configurational approaches) with an integrated view and methodology, the so-called MAP – Morphological Analysis and Prescription. MAP is framed by a ground-breaking understanding of morphological zoning, typology, and configuration. The comparison is developed in a case study in Oporto, Portugal.

Title: Changing public spaces and urban resilience in the City of Tshwane, South Africa
Abstract: 
 The City of Tshwane has experienced significant political, socio-economic and spatial changes. The lives and daily use patterns of different people in the city, as well as public spaces changed. While some people have retreated to semi-privatised space, others are enjoying unrestricted use of space in more traditional parks and quality public spaces in former marginalised areas. This raises questions regarding the impact of these changes on urban resilience, especially in the context of the new Tshwane 2055 vision calling for a “liveable, inclusive and resilient city”. This study analyses six public spaces in three different neighbourhood types in Pretoria and highlights the emergence of three trends - degradation, adaptation and transformation. The paper argues that these trends have implications for urban resilience of both the public space and the immediate surroundings in terms of diversity, intensity, proximity and connectivity in and around these spaces. Limited diversity proximity, intensity and connectivity strain opportunities for adaptation, while radical intervention at a specific point in time can expedite the trajectory of change and bring about rapid transformation. This has implications for urban planning and design in terms of deciding the level, extent and nature of interventions in particular parts of cities.

Title: Sustainable urban forms: eco-neighbourhoods in Europe
Abstract: 
 Far from specifying any form, the term “eco-neighbourhood” is designed to symbolically embrace a set of invariants seen both in high-efficiency building designs and environmental resource cycle management infrastructures, within a particularly wide range of settlement morphologies and resulting types of architecture. This paper first pinpoints the common features of some pioneering eco-neighbourhoods across Europe, and then concentrates on the degree to which disciplinary advances in environmental resource management have been accompanied by the same attention to spatial configuration. Through a critical reading of certain “sustainable urban forms” designed to combine material facts with formal and relational aspects, which are more difficult to measure, this paper then strives to create a dialogue between the different strands of knowledge involved in urban planning, as they are called upon to search for a balance between population, resources and environment.

Title: Exploring nodality and connectivity as dimensions to promote sustainable urban form in medium-sized Chilean cities: the case of Isla Teja in Valdivia
Abstract: 
 In Chilean cities, the lack of planning and fragmented urban growth are changing the lifestyles of neighborhood communities, and consequently leading to an unsustainable built environment. The aim of this study is to explore and evaluate sustainable urban conditions in two Chilean neighborhoods. This research explores nodality and connectivity, two dimensions of the built environment related with sustainability, as dimensions that could promote sustainability at the neighborhood level. Four methods elaborated by the community of space syntax theorists are implemented to evaluate levels of nodality: people following, the gate method, the static snapshot method, and movement traces. To evaluate connectivity, axial analysis is used to evaluate the density of cross streets per area unit, by using Depthmap analysis. The results show which are the specific features and patterns that enhance sustainability at the neighborhood level, as well as providing implications for local planning instruments. On the basis of conclusions, recommendations are offered to move Chilean neighborhoods toward a more sustainable path.

Title: Millennials and the contested urban legacy of post-war modernist social housing in the UK
Abstract: 
 Attitudes to the European modernist social housing experiments of the 1950s and 1960s are complicated and contested. Once derided as a failed and elitist social project, over the last two decades, there has been growing appreciation of the design principles and ethos of the post-war Architecture of Social Intent (AOSI), assisted by a proactive programme of national conservation protection. In this paper, we reflect on a university action research project to explore what the AOSI might mean to a younger “millennial” generation. Using an undergraduate action-research project from the UK, we explore millennials responses to the idea of the AOSI but also the perceptions of the welfare state associated with it and the state’s changing role in social housing provision. The paper makes a distinctive contribution to the growing literature on changing perceptions of modernist heritage, making a case for wider public engagement with urban change and design aesthetics.

Title: Walkability: a review of trends
Abstract: 
 Walkability has emerged as not only a set of indexes and metrics but a normative discourse. This review of walkability studies draws on English, Spanish and Portuguese literatures, as well as case studies evaluating pedestrian walking in cities. In recent literature reviews, a pattern emerges of studies agreeing on relatively consistent factors while identifying problems with metrics. However, these studies continue to operate on an aggregate level, often without differentiating pedestrians by gender, age, and ability. The lack of higher-order socioeconomic and affective factors such as social norms and comfort reflects a lack of attention to diversity. The ubiquitous importance of hand-held mobile devices, although undercut by the lack of a single mobile platform, suggests the possibility of crowd-sourced assessments. GIS and GPS tools allow emerging professional practices focused on walkability audits.

Title: Public space privatisation: are users concerned?
Abstract: 
 Academics have decried the erosion of public space under the neoliberal practices that have taken root since the 1980s in cities around the world. However, it is unclear whether users are concerned about the ownership of the urban spaces they use. To find out, this study surveyed users and observed their behaviour in three types of public spaces in Liverpool, UK: one entirely private development, one public-private partnership, and one urban renewal project taken over by a grassroots organization. The findings indicate that users appreciate privatised areas for the pleasant, clean, and safe environment they offer, as well as for the socialising opportunities. At the same time, privatised spaces send subtle signals to users that certain activities, people, or behaviours are not tolerated or encouraged. To reinforce the democratic essence of public space, values of appropriation should be safeguarded in all types of urban spaces, including privately produced ones.

Title: Star architecture projects and their effects: tracing the evidence
Abstract: 
 Since the inauguration of the Guggenheim-Museum Bilbao in 1997 many studies have examined the impact of star architecture projects. Most of these are individual case studies that focus on single effects, treating star architecture projects as monolithic entities. Furthermore, they fail to explain which precise aspects of these projects generate effects, so it remains unclear how they “work”. We have applied a conceptual impact model to two case studies – the Culture and Convention Centre in Lucerne (KKL) and the Phaeno Science Centre in Wolfsburg and divided the projects into four outputs: the building, the function, the offerings of star architecture, and the actor-network, to analyse how these outputs generate socio-cultural, touristic and urban regeneration effects. The paper demonstrates that the different outputs of the projects produce a case-specific set of effects. Despite the differences between the two projects, the paper identifies common patterns of how star architecture projects generate effects.

Title: The influence of family relations on the housing preferences of Millennials in Depok, Indonesia
Abstract: 
 This study identifies the housing norms and preferences of millennials in Indonesia. Millennials are thought to have different housing norms and preferences compared to prior generations. However, there is a need for further research on this topic to provide appropriate housing for the emerging millennial population. A mixed-method study was employed with 400 participating resident–respondents in Depok, one of Indonesia’s fastest-growing cities. A six-point Likert scale was used to identify millennials’ related characteristics quantitatively, and the reasons for their housing preferences were assessed using qualitative methods. Through linear regression, this study identifies family-oriented values were found to be dominant for millennials’ character-related activities. The results of crosstab analysis from the tabularised data-driven coding show that the characteristics of millennial housing norms and preferences are similar to those of the previous generation because of the millennials’ financial dependency on their parents. That is, this situation allows parents to conform millennials’ housing norms and preferences to theirs. These study findings confirm that housing norms and preferences are culturally dependent and formulated through negotiation between immediate and extended family members. This study identifies the intergenerational characteristics of the housing norms of Indonesian millennials, thus contributing to possible future improvements in the housing policy for them.

Title: Safety-critical events in bicycle lanes in Jongno, Seoul
Abstract: 
 Increasing use of cycling is closely associated with bicycle safety on the street. This study investigates safety-critical events (SCEs) on the newly built bicycle lane in a highly populated area. To encourage the low level of bicycle use, Seoul municipal government started its first plan make rooms for a new bike lane on the existing Jongno street, a symbolic boulevard in the metropolitan city center, in 2018. The goal of the study is to evaluate bicycle safety after the installation of that bike lane on Jongno street for road safety. Based on the record data from the city’s traffic camera video, which are open to the public, 141 SCEs are found for 7 days. We could find SCE characteristics and most frequent SCEs in Jongno using descriptive analysis and hierarchical clustering analysis. As a result, six types of SCE clusters were extracted, and each has specific situations and meaningful implications. These findings help understand less-known traffic conflicts in the new practice of bicycle facilities in a car-oriented CBD street that are not yet familiar with bicycle culture.

Title: Does café culture drive artistic enclaves?
Abstract: 
 Café culture is emerging as a global phenomenon. While the café has been a social venue for artists throughout history, research has not paid much attention to the relation between cafés and artists in cultural settings. In this paper, we conceptualize and quantify three types of café and art scenes: bohemian, corporate, and communal. Using the Yellow Pages and US Census data, our statistical analyses assess the role of cafés in the clustering of artists in New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago. The results show that the presence of cafés is significantly associated with clusters of artists, all else being equal. In the entire metropolitan statistical areas, cafés in bohemian or communal settings attract artists, although they are highly present in corporate culture as well. Case studies also suggest that pedestrian streetscape, interactive store design, building conversion programs, and access to transit draw artists to cafés.

Title: Unpacking Latino urbanisms: a four-part thematic framework around culturally relevant responses to structural forces
Abstract: 
 This article unpacks literature on Latino Urbanism to identify a holistic, thematically organized framework for understanding Latina/o sociospatial practices and to suggest how planners might plan for and/or better support Latino Urbanisms. Cultural expressions in response to structural forces that have and continue to challenge, oppress, and marginalize Latino communities in the U.S. form four thematic fundamental to Latino Urbanisms – spatializing translocal economies, embedding mobility, functionalizing housing, and enacting place. Through education and training, planners come to accept Anglocentric practices and aesthetics as normative, in contrast to the sociospatial practices of Latino communities, which become otherized and marginalized as Latino Urbanisms. Additionally, as “enacted environments,” Latino Urbanisms appear relatively unamenable to a formal paradigm. There are nonetheless planning and policy responses that planners can take to support Latino communities and in the enactment of Latino Urbanisms, and to enhance the qualities of sustainability and resilience inherent to Latino Urbanisms.

Title: In and out of place in Federation Square
Abstract: 
 Federation Square is an iconic urban public space in the centre of Melbourne. It was commissioned to celebrate the establishment of the nation of Australia in 1901; to represent the state of Victoria’s increasing ethnic diversity; and to provide the civic square omitted since the grid plan was first laid out in 1837, when the city was officially founded. Despite Federation Square’s iconic status, there remains a lack of empirical research exploring how well this public space enables and constrains the varied spatial practices of the city’s ethnically diverse population. This paper begins with an outline of the actor-network ethnography and research methods employed in this study. Then, a description of Federation Square is provided, followed by a discussion of the key findings. This paper claims that the flows of everyday urban life that facilitate random encounters between difference are largely absent from Federation Square. Furthermore, the paper argues that minority ethnic groups are more likely to feel and be seen to be ‘out-of-place’ in Federation Square. While the architecture attempts to represent the ethnic diversity of the city, the built form, programming and management limit diverse spatial practices outside of major events.

Title: Lest we forget: media predictions of a post-Covid-19 urban future
Abstract: 
 This article recounts a study of media predictions on the future of cities, post-pandemic. From a theoretical perspective, we consider discourse and storytelling (written, oral, or visual) as crucial public policy and planning tools. The study is based on a qualitative analysis of more than 110 media articles from more than 60 sources, which appeared online and/or in print between March and May 2020. We find that the media has played the role of both Kassandra and Pollyanna. Some prophecies have spelled doom and gloom whereas others have envisioned a brighter urban future. The value of the study is in establishing a baseline of “urban prophecies” formulated by the media. These can be revisited in the future to find out whether they were realistic.

Title: Framing the beholder’s visual experience: an investigation of perspectival thinking for urban design
Abstract: 
 Starting with Hermann Maertens in Germany in the 19th century, urban designers have used rules of real-life perspective to position environmental objects with respect to the viewer. In a slow and intermittent evolution, they have engaged in ever more elaborate applications of such design, but have treated it as technique, neglecting theoretical investigation. The subject deserves new attention now that our lives are dominated ever more by electronic media, which may be atrophying our intuitive sense of space. The article investigates ideas of perspectival design through the 20th century, describes applications in urban design practice, points out flaws and limitations, responds to criticisms, and suggests theoretical directions.

Title: Streets, density, and the superblock: neighborhood planning units and street connectivity in Abu Dhabi
Abstract: 
 This article studies the efficiency of street networks of Neighborhood Planning Units. Pedestrian Route Directness quantified the NPUs’ efficiency. The sample includes ten Abu Dhabi NPUs built during two periods: pre-1990 and post-1990. Two scenarios are assessed. First, as-built streets are evaluated based on the PRD test. Second, PRD values of NPUs with different plot densities are compared. Results show that plot density does not affect efficiency. A good network design produces high efficiency regardless of its plot density. The effects of streets on efficiency were further revealed by Betweenness. Combining PRD and Betweenness yields important principles of network design. This method can be applied to assess the connectivity of streets in different contexts. Future research should focus on: How do alleys contribute to the efficiency of NPUs? How do street configurations influence the behavior of movement? And how should NPUs be evaluated as local street systems with global implications?

Title: Understanding informal functional mix: morphogenic mapping of Old Dhaka
Abstract: 
 Functional mix has long been a key urban design and planning principle geared towards walkability and urban vitality. Yet in many informalized cities of the global South, an intensified mix is seen as a problem. This study of Old Dhaka maps and analyses functional mix as it has changed over the past 30 years in relation to morphologies of access networks, entry interfaces, and densities. We analyse the evolution of urbanism, where a complex mix emerges both horizontally and vertically, where retail functions extend many storeys above the street and the concept of singular land use is largely irrelevant. We show how increases in functional mix are meshed with increases in density, mediated by plot size, street networks, and a loose governance framework. This is an extreme case that reveals how functional mix intensifies under informal conditions and in concert with a broader morphogenesis.

Title: Women’s mobilities and perceived safety: urban form matters. Evidence from three peripheral districts in the city of Bogotá
Abstract: 
 The paper aims at investigating the interplay of urban form and women’s mobilities in three peripheral districts in the city of Bogotá. Integrating a morpho-functional analysis of the built environment with an ethnographic analysis focused on the walking practices of a sample of women, the paper highlights the main gendered spatial experiences and how the perceived safety acts as a mediator between built environment attributes and walking behaviours. The conclusion introduces two challenges: first, the need for new interpretative lenses, different from those of a man-centred perspective and able to interpret the women’s territoriality – considered as the spaces produced through their mobility practices; second, the possibility to use women’s mobilities experiences and their tactics of adaptation as a tool for more effective urban and mobility policies.

Title: Expanding in the mountains: spatial patterns of urban form in a rapidly urbanising small city of Vietnam
Abstract: 
 Measuring urban form is particularly important in rapidly urbanising countries as it can help assess problems caused by inefficient planning. Despite this, there is a dearth of research on fine-scale measures of urban form in Asia and Vietnam. In this paper, we aim to identify spatial patterns of urban form measured at the intra-urban level in Lào Cai, a provincial capital city in northern Vietnam that has been transformed dramatically since its integration in the Greater Mekong Subregion. We compute 15 indicators of urban form divided into four groups: shapes of built areas, street connectivity, density of services and population, and accessibility. A spatial clustering of the indicators allows to identify five urban form types and their spatial patterns, showing that this small city is experiencing an extensive and fragmented urban growth. We question urbanisation policy underlying such urban form and suggest avenues for a more sustainable urban planning.

Title: Implementation of a Place Game tool in the city of Rotterdam to enhance urban resilience to climate change through placemaking
Abstract: 
 This paper aims at establishing a connection between placemaking and urban climate change resilience. The Place Diagram was used as a framework for evaluating the quality of public space in the city of Rotterdam. In addition to the conventional approach, we added a new dimension to this Diagram to incorporate the climate adaptive capacity of a place. Based on the city’s climate adaptation strategy and climate-resilience action plans we identified the most vulnerable to climate change impacts district. The urban planning characteristics and the local climate stressors of this district were analyzed, enabling us to design and implement a Place Game – i.e. a tool for participatory design processes aiming at evaluating urban interventions at the local scale. A long-term vision for the study area (Gouvernestraat street) was finally developed, which enhances urban resilience to climate change by integrating ecosystem and community-based adaptation measures in local development planning and policymaking.

Title: ‘Just right’ urbanism? Beyond communitarian ideals in Stockholm’s compact neighbourhoods
Abstract: 
 This article investigates the widely implemented compact neighbourhood type and aims to stimulate fresh thinking in Anglo-American urban enquiry by building on the work of Massey and others to illuminate relational complexities between sociality and space. The authors present findings from research in Stockholm, which reveal spatial porosity and novel social meanings existing between polarised notions of connectedness and separateness. Such insights may be overlooked without adequate recognition of agency in relational investigations. Thus, renewed emphasis on agential capacity in both people and built form would benefit planning efforts. The neighbourhoods investigated foster patterns of “just right” (lagom) urbanity in which individuals find temporary reprieve and sociospatial mediation amidst wider metropolitan challenges. Future research could determine if neighbourhoods situated elsewhere foster similar interrelations, and – if so – what impacts on human well-being result. The authors urge theorists to undertake more-than-relational research in other contexts and with other neighbourhood types.

Title: Becoming walkable: relational and contextual effects of enhanced walkability
Abstract: 
 This study aims to understand how infill developments with walkable policies influence not only the walkability of the modified area but also the proximate urban spaces located in the context. The paper uses a mixed-methods and a relational approach to conduct comparative research in the form of pre- and post-construction analysis in a recently pedestrianised street to evaluate how enhanced walking in the pedestrianised corridor affected the walkability of its adjacent spaces. Results suggest that the enhanced walkability in the pedestrianised street increased the walkability of the adjacent spaces. Then, the study adopts a critical stance towards current approaches of understanding walkability and argues this finding corroborates the idea behind assemblage thinking in the walkability debate; that is, walkability is a capacity that may or may not be actualised. Here, seeing walkability in terms of a “becoming assemblage,” emphasises the role of assemblage thinking in grasping the dynamics of walkability.

Title: Examining the streets of Kabalagala’s CBD Using Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED)
Abstract: 
 Developing countries should explore other avenues apart from the traditional approaches of crime prevention mainly involving the criminal justice and social approaches of crime prevention that may assist in arresting crime amid resource constraints and predicted increase in population. This paper evaluates the streets of Kabalagala township Located in Kampala City, Uganda using a Defensible Space checklist and assess the perceptions of property/business owners concerning property crimes at the street level. The findings indicated that the streets of Muyenga, Gaba and Kikubamutwe were impacted by the existence of isolated areas and concealment opportunities and presented signs of poor maintenance and management of street elements which may have adversely affected effective natural surveillance and attracted criminal activity.

Title: Factors affecting social sustainability in the historical city centres of Iran
Abstract: 
 The current study’s primary purpose is to explore the critical social variables that could affect the urban regeneration of historical city centres in Iran. The study was based on a questionnaire-based survey in four historical city centres: Kashan, Naeen, Ardakan and Yazd. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used to analyse the collected data. SPSS software was applied to extract the factors, and the Analysis of Moment Structures software (AMOS 24) used to confirm these factors through a structural model. Based on the results, seven significant factors proved most relevant: security/safety; accessibility; equity; participation; quality of life; solidarity and income. The highest correlations between them were observed in security and participation, accessibility and quality of life, and accessibility and equity. These relationships should guide urban planners and policy-makers dealing with historical city centres.

Title: Child, play, and urban space: a historical overview and a holistic paradigm for child-centered urbanism
Abstract: 
 The relationship between children and the city is critical for both. Not only do different built environments shape different childhoods, but child-friendliness is a sign of overall city quality. Extensive research in the fields of environmental psychology and children’s geographies has highlighted the significance of urban space as children’s habitat. Cities, on the other hand, have been designed since modernity largely without taking children’s needs into account. To bridge the gap between research on children and the practice of urban design we need a holistic paradigm unifying discourses on childhood and on play with urbanism itself. I call this paradigm Spielraum. I focus on selected historical cases of child-centered practices including Red Vienna’s housing complexes, Van Eyck’s Amsterdam playgrounds, and the “Stop the Child Murder” movement in the Netherlands. Based on these and other pioneering examples, I propose four rubrics of urban design practice towards a Spielraum city.

Title: New towns: the dilemma of newness and Genius Loci. The case of Bouinan, Algeria
Abstract: 
 Newness, or building from scratch, has long been considered as the mantra of the New Towns. Most early New Towns were built on Ex-nihilo sites. That provides the state of mental and physical blankness - best known as tabula rasa - that modern planning favours. It is only after generations that relying on pre-existing nucleus is realised to be an alternative that helps to achieve place-making and promotes Genius Loci. The paper first presents a contribution to this alternative approach, encapsulates its philosophy and turns it into a working tool. It then discusses the process of its deployment. Bouinan New Town, (Algeria), provides a raw example of a New Town on which the approach was applied. It discusses the potentials and limits of the approach through its three parameters that are Man, Space, and Time, and resolving the dilemma between Genius Loci and Newness. Results and findings aim at fine-tuning the next New Towns generation that is envisaged in the 2030 Vision Plan and enrich the New Towns world literature in countries having similar conditions.

Title: Conviviality in the city: experience-based spatial design against the segregation of places
Abstract: 
 The article discusses design against segregation in an urban context characterized by diversity. It sets out to understand how individual experiences of urban space can lead to segregation of places between diverse inhabitants. We argue that the introduction of experience-based spatial design that takes note of perceptions and social interactions and their entanglement with the material aspects of space, is needed to tackle the processes where urban amenities and places become segregated. In our search for social and material fabrics that promote meaningful encounters in an urban environment, we combine an experience-based dataset collected among older people and young migrant adults with design-based observations. In our analysis, we utilize the concept of conviviality as a tool to translate experience-based knowledge into tangible information inputs for spatial design. The analysis culminates in the creation of visions that exemplify how experience-based knowledge can be operationalised for designing against segregation.

Title: Assessing the COVID-19 outbreak effects on active mobility of men in comparison with women
Abstract: 
 This study aims to evaluate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on active mobility of men and women of Shiraz, Iran, and examine the relationship between perceived built environment factors and men’s and women’s active travel before and during the outbreak. The data were obtained during the pandemic from 747 men and 518 women living in Shiraz. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire-based survey. The multivariate regression was utilized for determining the effective factors on active travel. The results indicate that the amount of time men spend walking and cycling before and during the outbreak is more than that of women. Meanwhile, the amount of time men and women spend cycling has increased during the pandemic, which can indicate the resiliency of bikes in the crisis. A built environment with mixed, diverse, dense and accessible land uses, as well as safe and secure cycling and walking routes have major effects on citizens’ active mobility in this crisis. Also, for women who have a low rate of bicycle ownership, improving bike-sharing infrastructure is essential. Therefore, it is suggested that urban planners and policymakers take action to make the environment more people-friendly to maintain citizens’ mobility, especially women, during the pandemic.

Title: Urban form and the socioeconomic and environmental dimensions of cities
Abstract: 
 Despite advances in debate on the relationships between urban form and socioeconomic and environmental dimensions of cities, many perspectives are being developed in isolation. This paper proposes a more integrated view of this relationship. It examines the correlation between specific physical patterns and certain levels of socioeconomic diversity and environmental sustainability, which are fundamental characteristics of cities. Whilst morphological investigation addresses the “town-plan” elements of the city, socioeconomic and environmental examinations focus on a set of indicators on education, employment, housing, economic activities, residents, workers, “moving individuals,” and green and blue infrastructure. The inquiry takes place in Porto, Portugal. The city is divided into its main urban tissues (patterns of combination of urban form elements). Within each tissue, one sample area is selected and characterized in physical, social, economic, and environmental terms. This comprehensive picture is complemented with a description of the daily habits of two hypothetical residents.

Title: Implementation of the New Urban Agenda on a local level: an effective community engagement methodology for human-centred urban design
Abstract: 
 This paper explores multi-method community engagement activities used to quickly and effectively produce an action plan based on city stakeholders’ perceptions and wishes. A UN-Habitat Urban Thinkers Campus (UTC), focused on promoting urban liveability, adopted a methodology aimed to effectively engage participants through the completion of urban diaries prior to the event. Engagement with participants was further enhanced through urban labs and discussions culminating in a Design Sprint, producing meaningful action statements. The methodology was aimed at capturing impressions, concerns and roles of each stakeholder group in producing human-centred urban environments. Results suggest the adopted methodology was successful in producing a clear set of tangible action statements, identified as potentially generating high impact and requiring low effort to be implemented. These readily applicable actions were compiled by the end of a single but intense workday.

Title: How street quality influences the walking experience: an inquiry into the perceptions of adults with diverse ages and disabilities
Abstract: 
 The benefits of walking are now well understood. However, there is still no consensus on what causes people to forego short walking trips. This study examined users’ perceptions on trips usually walked, as well as perceptions of desirable trips within walking distance but not walked. 56 adults with diverse disability statuses and ages, living in Auckland New Zealand, were interviewed. Content analysis was used to discover the perceived difficulties of walking and what lies behind the decision to walk (or not). Barriers to walking related to poor holistic quality of walking environments, including traffic, and infrastructure. The study confirmed the importance of the comparative qualities of transport alternatives in the choice of walking. Finally, disabled users suffer disproportionately from the burden of the transport system and often cannot travel spontaneously. Future research should focus on characterising barriers to walking perceived by users, which would provide useful insights for urban retrofit.

Title: Building in common: (re)integrating social services and community space in church redevelopment projects
Abstract: 
 As an increasing number of places of worship close due to various pressures, this paper explores the opportunities and barriers to churches being redeveloped as creative mixed-use buildings that include public spaces and social services through an examination of the experience of the United Church of Canada in Toronto. Drawing on a spatial analysis of their real estate activity and key informant interviews, this paper shows how there are key opportunities to leverage church-owned land, to create partnerships with organizations from other sectors, and to foster inclusive redevelopment projects. Barriers to redevelopment include limited development expertise, that each project is unique, and the evolving relationship between church and community. As major landowners in many cities, the article reflects on the possibility of church redevelopments to provide critical spaces for social services in large metropolitan areas that are facing affordability challenges as a result of growth.

Title: Changes in urban fabric – a cause or a result of an innovation district?
Abstract: 
 The goal of our paper is to look at the connection between a city’s morphology and the development of innovation districts. We look at spatial planning as a strategic intervention that can affect urban morphology and help to create a better innovation district. Research in economic geography shows innovative industries (especially high-tech) have a higher tendency for spatial concentration than other types of industries. We are focusing on innovation districts that may emerge naturally within urban fabric. To demonstrate the limits and potential of the Naturally Occurring Innovation Districts (NOIDS), we focus on transformations taking place at Zabłocie, Krakow and Jeżyce, Poznan, both in Poland, and both of which can be recognized as typical examples of Polish NOIDs.

Title: Romantic relationships and the built environment: a case study of a U.S. college town
Abstract: 
 Romantic relationships are a special type of relationship that affect happiness and wellbeing, but little is known about how romantic couples use the built environment to perpetuate their bond. We conducted a survey of 124 geolocated individuals in romantic relationships in State College, Pennsylvania, and used a mixed-method geographic information systems (GIS)/qualitative research framework to show how couples use the built environment. We illustrate their favorite places, the characteristics of these places, and how the town’s amenities and design helps their bond. Our results show that pedestrian and transportation infrastructure and a variety of proximal, affordable activities, (primarily restaurants and nature/outdoor spaces) are important for couples. We also find that on-campus attractions, not just those of the town, play an important role for romantic outings. We use these findings to encourage and recommend infrastructure for supporting romantic relationships in the future.

Title: Assessing the relationship between sidewalk walkability and pedestrians’ travel behaviors in hot arid regions: Khobar, Saudi Arabia
Abstract: 
 Walking is a vital activity. Therefore, governments deploy resources to improve walkability. The relationship between the walkability of sidewalks and walking frequency to a given destination in the context of hot arid regions has been overlooked in the literature. This study examines this relationship in Khobar, Saudi Arabia.The methodology is composed of two parts: the MAPPA (Marchabilité pour les personnes âgées) audit and the users survey. Three districts in Khobar city were selected. On-site assessment was completed. Sidewalks ranking criteria were adopted from the MAPPA, and the analysis was performed using GIS applications.In the studied districts, an average of 81% of respondents indicated that they like walking. An average of 91.6% confirmed that they would walk more if sidewalk walkability was improved.The study concluded that sidewalk walkability could be related to pedestrian behaviors in Khobar. However, other factors affect these behaviors, such as users’ socioeconomic characteristics.

Title: Who’s streets, our streets: the evolution of street asphalt art and the transformation of liminal spaces for social change
Abstract: 
 The betwixt and in-between spaces in urban environments help define the zeitgeist. In transforming liminal spaces into memorials, public art provides an opportunity to assert the voice of the people and helps to catalyze social change. In recent years, the informal and formal claiming of urban liminal spaces has been central to the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. This article explores the use of informal placemaking and how claiming liminal space can lead to transformative social reactions for sustained social change in subtle and direct ways. By situating asphalt art within the cultural activism literature where “art, activism, performance, and politics meet, mingle and interact” (Verson, 2007, p. 172), one of the roles of asphalt art can be understood. Existing scholarship in this area “has focused on the role of creative practices such as culture jamming, subversion, public art, performance, and rebel clowning” (Buser et al., 2013, p. 606). This article considers the relationship between asphalt art’s creative praxis in the processes of urban placemaking and how meaning is constructed in urban space that presents opportunities for new political, social, and cultural dialogues to resonate the causes some liminal spaces represent that bring activities and existing narratives that develop new civic narratives.

Title: Place-making and place-taking: memories from Tirana
Abstract: 
 Multidisciplinary studies try to explain the complexity and the effects of political processes, such as how decision-making, and socio-political transition are connected with urbanism, and activism. Tirana has faced numerous changes over the years, from urbanism, to political landscapes, to economics, to social aspects, and to public spaces within the city (for example, squares and buildings), all of which are key points towards achieving sustainable transformation. This paper tries to explain and understand the political processes and informal placemaking (public space, buildings, activism) following three main perspectives: a) ontologies on political processes approach, the environment, and urban planning; b) activism and protest events; and c) the legal framework on urban planning and activism. Based on previous studies, experiences from the past and these three perspectives, this paper emphasizes the connection between political processes and informal placemaking by answering the questions: “What is the role of urban transformation in activism in Tirana? What are the implications of political processes on activism and urban transformation? The key studies in this paper focus on public spaces around culture heritage buildings in Tirana, such as the National Theatre building and the “Qemal Stafa” National Stadium.

Title: Cultural placemaking in the black suburbs of the tourist city
Abstract: 
 This article examines how non-institutional(ized) street art tours and DIY parties in two racialized, lower-class neighborhoods in the outskirts of Lisbon generate different results. In the neighborhood of Quinta do Mocho, these street art tours and DIY parties arise as playfulness and multicultural experiences of opening up the communities to local white middle-class visitors and tourists. In the neighborhood of Cova da Moura, these actions culminate in a cultural festival that celebrates African and Afro-diasporic cultures, promoting the visibility of the talented artists of the neighborhood. In both cases, positive representations about these territories are produced, linked to a strengthening of the sense of belonging to Quinta do Mocho’s and Cova de Moura’s communities. The article concludes by suggesting that non-institutional(ized) street art tours and DIY parties arise as pioneering actions toward challenging and decolonizing urban thinking on contemporary Lisbon.

Title: Direct action placemaking: transgressive interventions on the margins of Rome
Abstract: 
 This paper analyzes overlaps and relationships between informality, transgression, and direct action by juxtaposing two recent examples of activist placemaking in Rome: the creation of the Kurdish cultural center Ararat and the construction of Savorengo Ker, a short-lived example of dignified housing for a Roma community. Both case studies are dedicated to a building and its transformative power for the surrounding area as well as for the status of the groups involved in the creative process. Both projects were initiated by the Italian collective Stalker, which has developed a practice on the border between art, architecture, and urban activism since the 1990s. By exploring the unstable circumstances of these initiatives, the research offers insights into the complex implications of making places through informal and transgressive means. Ultimately, the case studies demonstrate the potential of informal tactics to empower underprivileged groups and suggest a new role for planners and designers.

Title: Canta la Calle. Sonic affirmation and the politics of the carnivalesque in Cádiz
Abstract: 
 This article combines ethnographic research and debates on cultural activism to challenge canonical views on carnival by positioning the festivity’s sonic dimension as an active force of placemaking that extends beyond the official timeframe of carnival. The paper centres on Cádiz, a Spanish city that celebrates one of the oldest and most influential carnivals of Southern Europe. Cádiz’s carnival is famous for the inventiveness of carnival groups made of local citizens who gather every year and dedicate months to prepare an original music repertoire. Seeking to expand our understanding of contemporary carnival, this article looks at how carnival in Cádiz has provided ground for a radical understanding of citizenship and political agency against neoliberal appropriations of the public space, as evident in the increasing weight of surveillance and gentrification. This article argues that carnival music provides a platform for radical ways of mobilising creativity to redefine placemaking.

Title: Informal placemaking and energy transition: a review of trends on community-led energy initiatives for social justice
Abstract: 
 The energy transition is one of today’s major challenges. A central issue in the energy transition is the use of space (land, buildings, oceans, etc.) for the deployment of renewable energies. However, this issue is often only dealt with on a large scale and quantitatively, and not qualitatively and grounded in the urban and territorial reality. Energy policies do not always take into account places and their creation, where society is at the centre. The informal construction of places, based on bottom-up actions from communities, has a key role to play in order to make this transition in a fair and environmentally responsible way. This research focuses on reviewing trends in informal place-making and energy transition. In particular, it looks at community-based energy generation initiatives that seek social justice. These are the social alternative of energy transition with co-responsibility of the territory where they are inscribed.

Title: Former military barracks as places for informal placemaking in Italy. An inventory for new insights
Abstract: 
 This paper seeks to extend research on the role of informal placemaking practices in spatial planning and community development through an examination of their role in accommodating alternative or innovative uses in contrast to profit-driven projects. The research does so through the study of unauthorized interventions in derelict army barracks, which have been the subject of little research to date in Italy. This work addresses this lack of knowledge by providing a taxonomy of barracks that have been subjected to informal placemaking, such as arts and cultural activities. The exploration of each of the categories resulting from the taxonomy can be crucial in triggering new insights into informal practices. Drawing on interviews with key actors, literature review, and fieldwork from the period 2019–2022, the research identifies key dynamics that may transform barracks into spaces for social reproduction, reversing original intentions to create new profit-driven spaces.

Title: Madrid Soundscape Map: listening and identity_ MADLIST
Abstract: 
 This paper focuses on a research work in progress, Soundscape Map of Madrid: Identity and Listening, an interactive and accessible online map-based system. This research aims to build an informal digital space of situations, actions, experiences, listening, and physical data capable of highlighting the importance of sound in everyday life in the city center of Madrid. This multi-layered map is a place for local people, artists, researchers, urban planners, and municipalities to work together, as well as to provide collective knowledge about sound in the environment we live in and to enhance collaborative design for sustainable and creative environments. The research aims to explore the identity of places based on listening as generous listening: listening to our body, the collective body, and the sound environment in an open process of exploration/experimentation with a hybrid methodology and several tools: informal meeting with citizen, interviews, storytelling, soundwalk, digital map, recording data collections.

Title: In your face! Bringing Berlin’s Holocaust Memorial to Thuringia: reaffirming German memory culture through creative place-taking
Abstract: 
 This article analyses one act of informal creative place-making/taking. In 2017, the Berlin art collective Centre for Political Beauty installed a partial replica of Peter Eisenman’s 2005 Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in a back garden in the Thuringian village of Bornhagen. The site was chosen because of who lived next door: a leading figure in the right-wing party Alternative für Deutschland (Alternative for Germany), Björn Höcke. This DIY, guerrilla-like intervention by activist artists raises broader questions about both “informality” and “place-making.” As we suggest, the work Deine Stele (2017-ongoing) represents a profound paradox: an otherwise highly critical art collective, not least towards the government, replicates an official state-sanctioned memorial in order to defend and enforce the so painfully won hegemonic memory culture. Both the work and its realisation combine complex elements of formality and informality. Moreover, while located very intentionally in Bornhagen, Deine Stele sits somewhere between, and connects, Berlin, Bornhagen and digital space. Rather than engaging deeply with local stories, it makes a more abstract theme – German commitment to Holocaust memory – concrete. We read this antagonistic intervention as a playfully provocative act of creative place-taking rather than place-making.

Title: Informal feminist placemaking: a new perspective on urban activism and gender equality
Abstract: 
 This article introduces the concept of Informal Feminist Placemaking, a transformative approach to urban activism that challenges traditional gender norms and fosters gender equality in public spaces. By exploring the dynamics of informal feminist placemaking practices, this article sheds light on how women, particularly in restrictive socio-political environments, creatively navigate and contest gendered urban landscapes. It highlights the significance of recognizing and supporting these grassroots initiatives as integral to inclusive and equitable urban development. Informal Feminist Placemaking not only contributes to the discourse on feminist urbanism but also underscores the potential of informal practices in redefining urban spaces and promoting social change. This perspective underscores the need for recognizing and supporting informal placemaking initiatives as a vital component of inclusive and equitable urban development.
