Master's Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Urban and Regional Planning, grade: Very Good, , course: Geo-Informatics Engineering, language: English, abstract: This study was focused on assessing an "Implications of Urbanization-Induced Land Use Land Cover Changes on Land Surface Temperature and Thermal Comfort in Dire Dawa City between 2000 and 2022". The City is experiencing rapid urbanization, and limitation of green area aesthetical values that has resulted in remarkable surface temperature. Despite this, until now, no evaluations have been duly executed pertaining to the thermal or ecological factors in Dire Dawa.The study utilized Landsat 5 (TM), Landsat 9 (OIL/TIRS) and MODIS 11A2 images which were obtained from USGS for the study area. To analyze and show results clearly, ArcGIS 10.8, ERDAS IMAGINE 2014, and Excel 2013 softwares were used. The LULC pattern was processed by supervised classification with the maximum likelihood classification algorithm and four major land use land cover (Built-up area, Barren land, Shrub land, and sparse vegetation) were identified.The biggest urban problem facing cities around the world today is the result of land use change induced by urbanization. Rapid urbanization, driven by demographic and economic growth, places additional demands on natural resources, leading to changes in land use, particularly in megacities. Due to urbanization and unplanned human activities, the vegetation of the earth's surface is in constant decline, leading to changes in the environment, especially in the earth's ecosystem at local, regional and global scales. Future increases in climate change and urbanization will exacerbate urban heat islands, especially during heatwaves. Similar to any other cities across the world, different urban areas in Ethiopia are affected by climate change. Dire Dawa city has experienced massive urbanization in terms of population growth, fastest rates of urbanization with a 50 percent growth rate and major changes in the LULC has been a drastic increase in areal extent and coverage. Additionally observed surface improvements such as urban growth, settlement expansion and Construction of new built up or dwelling units in the city, socioeconomic factors, particularly in the context of anthropogenic activities have modified and will continue to modify the case study's microclimate. Despite variations among kebeles, Dire Dawa has population density of 350 people per square kilometer and a growth rate of 4.42 %. As a result, such increasing changes are responsible for increasing surface temperatures, can cause and pose a threat to the city's microclimate.
A provocative look at architecture-"exceptionally intelligent and original" (Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post Book World) Deyan Sudjic-"probably the most influential figure in architecture you've never heard of" - argues that architecture, far from being auteur art, must be understood as a naked expression of power. From the grandiose projects of Stalin and Hitler to the "theme park" excess of today's presidential libraries, Sudjic goes behind the scenes of history's great manipulators of building propaganda-and exposes Rem Koolhaas, Frank Gehry, and other architects in a disturbing new light. This controversial book is essential reading for all those interested in the power of architecture-or the architecture of power. * A Washington Post Book World Best Book of the Year

How can we design, develop and adapt urban environments to better meet the needs and aspirations of an increasingly diverse ageing population? This edited collection offers a new approach to understanding the opportunities and challenges of creating 'age-friendly' communities in the context of urban change. Drawing together insights from leading voices across a range of disciplines, the book emphasises the urgent need to address inequalities that shape the experience of ageing in urban environments. The book combines a focus on social justice, equity, diversity and co-production to enhance urban life. Exploring a range of age-friendly community projects, contributors demonstrate that, despite structural obstacles, meaningful social change is achievable at a local level.
Densification of our cities is an imperative that inevitably brings the topic of new high-rise buildings and the addition of stories to existing buildings to the foreground of discourse. Architecture and urban design must increasingly address the issues of verticality at all stages of planning, design, and composition. Social and cultural aspects must be considered in this process as well. The French-languag book De la verticalité combines two elements: a case study on high-rise buildings in Zurich and an explorative essay on the subject of verticality in philosophy, culture, and society. Together the threads form a dual commentary that highlights the challenges posed by the transformation of our cities. Illustrated with numerous spectacular montages and visualizations designed to broaden thinking, this volume, which comes from the laboratory of acclaimed Swiss architecture firm Made in, also offers concrete proposals aimed at architects and urban planners, politicians and flâneurs alike.
The creation of park systems is a historically proven method for communities to stabilize and cultivate healthy ecological habitats in country dwellings as well as in dense urban areas. Park systems ensure clean soil, water, and air for all. Moreover, they offer intergenerational and inclusive recreational opportunities along ecological corridors. Between 1900 and 1950, civic design-a practice in urban and landscape planning explicitly oriented towards the common good-experienced a heyday. Park systems were successfully used as "green armatures" hosting public facilities such as playgrounds, schools, administrative buildings, hospitals, and gardens. Living Cities offers a chronological survey of civic design based on more than 30 park systems on five continents. The examples range from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Park an der Ilm in Weimar (1778) and John Nash's Regent Street in London (1806) to Chicago's park system (1850), Albert Bodmer and Maurice Braillard's plans for Geneva (1936), and Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin Valley (1947), as well as to contemporary and future projects in Addis Ababa, Madrid, Medellín, New York, and Seoul. Matthew Skjonsberg's book demonstrates the ecological and social impact of park systems and highlights the diverse challenges that communities face when implementing such projects. At the same time, it encourages a reevaluation of civic design as an intergenerational practice for creating human settlements.
Transversal Territory is a laboratory of urban, environmental, and artistic experimentation at the renowned Academy of Architecture in Mendrisio, Switzerland. It undertakes transdisciplinary and participatory research on the relationship between us, our bodies, and our built and natural environments. Its unique approach is to explore experiences of-and reflections on-urban space through performative bodywork and on-site artistic installations. This process aims at transcending the conventional paradigms of perception and the understanding of urban space, and at creating a new imagination of it-an augmented reality. Transversal Territory's innovative research is conducted in annual workshops, in which students and local residents collaborate, and subsequent public presentations of the results. This volume features 20 performances and installations realized in 2022 in Mendrisio's Rime-Brech neighborhood, a typical suburban area with its mix of industrial structures, social housing, shopping malls, fast food outlets, parking lots, wastelands, and highways. It is conceived as a map of Mendrisio that spreads across the pages to recontextualize the genius loci in book format.
Sejong Si (cidade de Sejong), a segunda capital da Coreia do Sul, é uma nova cidade iniciada com o objetivo de cumprir a agenda política nacional de desenvolvimento territorial equilibrado, atenuando a concentração excessiva de instalações públicas e privadas na área metropolitana de Seul (AMS). O plano diretor para a cidade de Sejong foi formulado em 2005 através de um projeto iniciado pelo governo coreano e é digno de nota na medida em que apresenta um novo paradigma de design urbano de construção que reflecte a experiência coreana. Uma das principais características é o desenho em forma de anel da cidade de Sejong (descentralizada e vazia na área central), que a torna estruturalmente distinta de outras cidades modernas com estruturas hierárquicas e simbólicas. Outra caraterística importante é a presença de aproximadamente 20 unidades de vizinhança localizadas de acordo com a estrutura em forma de anel. Isto é consistente com os sistemas de desenvolvimento orientado para o trânsito (TOD) e desenvolvimento tradicional de bairro (TND). O método de desenho urbano baseado nos modelos TOD e TND tem sido eficaz em termos da estrutura urbana descentralizada da cidade de Sejong.
This book takes a theoretical and empirical distance from urban slums/low-income settlements as a threat to environmental sustainability and recast them as places where environmentally rehabilitative and circular practices occur¿drawing on the theoretical lens of the circular economy (CE). CE is defined as regenerative system that minimizes waste, emission, and energy leakage by slowing, closing, and narrowing material and energy loops. In principle, CE departs from the traditional linear model of take-make-use-dispose. As conceived in urban contexts, circular cities offer possibilities to regenerate natural systems, design out waste, and keep products in use. While the CE key principles of reduce, repair, and reuse are essential to the sustainable and inclusive interventions in urban slums, there is lack of case studies exploring the role of place and agency, especially the slum living-CE nexus in global south contexts. In inequitable urban transitions, a nuanced understanding of thesynergies between urban slums and the circular economy is not only theoretically relevant for reconceptualizing the slum in urban sustainability discourses but also exert policy and practice ramifications to decidedly figure out how the urban slum phenomenon can foster the sustainable and inclusive development of marginal areas through contextual and people-centered initiatives.
As central places of human interaction, cities influence the reality of our lives like no other phenomenon. They are in a highly complex, reciprocal relationship with changing environmental, social, political, economic and religious constellations. Accordingly, the demands placed on cities and the ideas associated with them are often subject to highly dynamic change. Especially against the backdrop of increasingly rapid urbanisation, shaping this change is one of today¿s central challenges and it deserves a prominent position in public discourse.The booklet ¿Urban Design¿ aims to show the complexity of this discourse. It invites reflection on the possibilities of designing cities and their impact on the present and the future. To this end, it brings together contributions from very different disciplines, each of which provides their own perspectives on the phenomenon of the city.A basic idea here is that contemporary cities cannot be designed without a deeper understanding of their historical dimension. On a practical level, this entails the (selective) visualisation of the archaeological cultural heritage, with its implications for identity politics. But its is also concerned with the dependence of historical city images on contemporary discourses, for example, religious ideas and their political utilisation or literary imaginations of the urban.Moreover, the booklet also wants to inquire about the direct effects of material urban design on the residents. For instance, design characteristics influence orientation and movement in urban space and thus determine the movement options of handicapped and elderly people. The urban environment also has a direct impact on human health.The extent to which current discourses on environmental problems and climate change are changing the requirements for urban design is exemplified by contributions on the topics of transport and climate-neutral construction. It is to be expected that innovative ideas in these areas, in particular, will change the appearance of the cities of the future in the long term.ContentsPrefaceIntroduction: Urban Design between Past, Present and FutureAnnette HaugArchaeological Heritage in the Historic Urban LandscapeUlrich MüllerUrban Models in Transition: The Roman City in the Levant Region and Its SpacesPatric-Alexander KreuzSacred Design: ¿Holy Cities¿ and ¿City Saints¿ in the Middle AgesAndreas BihrerMental Conceptions of Cities in Literary Texts of the Middle AgesMargit DahmCity, Memory and Orientation: Design Features of an Age-friendly CityAnnika HanertUrban Living and the Rise of Lifestyle Diseases: Lessons from Microbiome ResearchThomas C.

Die Beiträge in diesem Buch werfen ein kritisches Licht auf die Ausgestaltung, Verhandlung und Schaffung inklusiver Bedingungen. Die Autor*innen analysieren politische Programme und reflektieren über deren inklusive oder exklusive Auswirkungen in europäischen und außereuropäischen Kontexten. Trotz dieser globalen Effekte, die durch überlokal getroffene Entscheidungen zustande kommen und die Handlungsspielräume vor Ort beeinflussen, betonen viele Beiträge die maßgebliche Rolle der kommunalen Ebene für eine erfolgreiche Umsetzung von Inklusion.
This book provides new information to understand the relationship between urban development and environmental change to the reader. How to create a sustainable and livable urban environment and realize the sustainable development goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN) is one of the biggest challenges in this century, even in the next centuries. The covered subject areas of this book aim at finding a way to push SDGs forward by collecting the related knowledge between urban development and its environmental implication. Specifically, the book focuses on UN SDGs 9 (industry, innovation and infrastructure), 11 (sustainable cities and communities), and 13 (climate action). Regarding the SDGs 9, this book assesses urban population mobility, urban ecosystem services, and green infrastructure to address climate change in cities. Regarding the SDGs 11, this book explores the sustainability of urban landscape change associated with urbanization based on a multi-scale perspective. Regarding the SDGs 13, this book explores the issues affecting the development of healthy cities in the context of climate change and possible ways to address them.This book focuses on newer fields related to various forms of urbanization and urban climate. Under different urbanization and development scenarios, the city and built environment are facing new challenges and become a major concern. Better understandings of related physical laws and sustainable technologies are badly needed. This book is a good reference to urban planners, city officials, citizens who are concerned about the city environment, and policymakers, as well as students studying urban structure and environment.
Countering the phenomenon of sprawl in the often anonymous or chaotic urban periphery, the Oassis neighborhood in Lausanne takes a unique approach based on urbanity and hybridization. Located on a former industrial wasteland in the west of the city, Oassis reflects the compositional principles of the traditional city, while also engaging in the dynamics of ecological transition and climate resilience. This 'urban fragment' is both an urban fabric, compatible with future developments in the neighborhood, and an architectural object characterized by urbanity. The contemporary challenges of regenerating suburban areas are addressed here through diverse development programs and a profusion of gardens. Skilful combination of economic, ecological and social factors with high-quality architecture With unpublished documents and specially commissioned photographs
The garden as inspiration The garden embodies a condensed version of nature, just as, in Japanese philosophy, the entire world is thought to be reflected in a single dewdrop. This notion may be the inspiration for the Swiss imitation of Japanese gardens in the 20th century, the impetus for the incorporation of Japanese design elements more generally, and the conversion principle from alpine landscapes to Japanese stone gardens. Taking ten Swiss landscape architecture studios as examples, the author illustrates how they drew inspiration from miniaturized gardens (bonsai), borrowed scenery (shakkei), succumbed to the allure of the imperfect (wabi-sabi), and captured the spirit of Zen Buddhism. This book reveals parallels to the assimilation of Chinese influences in Japan and situates the phenomenon within the general reception of Japan in the West. Attractive and previously unpublished visual materials Well-researched content presented in a clear and appealing manner Japanophilia in Swiss landscape architecture with a photoessay by Martin Linsi
What if urban planning and design were to prioritize rather than merely accommodate the unbuilt environment? Territorial Urbanism Now! calls for a paradigm shift in the conception of urban transformation. It urges us to favor sustainable systems in order to collectively tackle the challenges of climate change. Until now, urban planning and design professionals have integrated green and active mobility systems in the residual spaces available. In the reverse approach envisioned here, these systems become structuring elements of the territory, supported by a much more frugal built environment. The contributions by urbanists, artists, architects, and landscape architects in this publication come from research, practice, and teaching. Paola Viganò, Eric Luiten, Sandra Guinand-in conversation with Ali Madanipour, Chris Younès, Christian Schmid, Eric Wieërs, and Maarten Van Acker-Stefan Rettich, Tommaso Pietropolli, Elena Andonova, Julio de la Fuente, Natalia Gutiérrez, Ward Verbakel, Claudia Bode, Philipp Misselwitz, Davide Curatola Soprana, Beatrice Galimberti, Lilli Licka, Hannes Gröblacher, Johannes Bernsteiner, Stefan Devoldere, Anselm Wagner, Susanne Eliasson, Eva Pfannes, Jesse Honsa, and Stefan Bendiks not only introduce a much-needed paradigm shift, but also show us the premises for its realization.
In an age of glossy architectural visualizations and slick photography, today's media is saturated with images of projects mummified in their ideal, untouched, and unused state. Every design and technical publication on landscape architecture tries to teach us how to do things based on best practices. Rarely do we see a landscape project that has been in use for five or even ten years. To counterbalance this status quo, it is time to review and scrutinize the Sh*tscapes : typical mistakes in the design of our public realm. This publication is a compendium of a hundred failures made in the design, construction, or maintenance processes of urban landscapes. Looking at these unsuccessful examples, the authors propose simple and practical solutions aimed at preventing common mistakes, predicting future scenarios, and averting or accepting failures.
Verbessern Pflanzen das Stadtklima? Wie kann Grün in der Architektur die urbane Hitzebildung reduzieren, die Feinstaubbildung vermindern, den städtischen Lärmpegel senken und das Wohlbefinden der Menschen steigern? Das Handbuch zum Gebäudegrün richtet sich an die Bürgerschaft ebenso wie an Architekten und Bauherrn. Es liefert Antworten auf die am häufigsten gestellten Fragen - von der Bestandsbegrünung bis zur Neubaubegrünung, von Einsparungen durch Gebäudegrün bis zu finanziellen Förderungen und von praktischen Tipps zur Pflanzenwahl bis zu ökologischen Auswirkungen auf das Stadtklima. Es ist an der Zeit - und viele Beispiele in Deutschland und weltweit zeigen, dass Grünbauten möglich und wachsende Realität sind.
After its careful renovation by David Chipperfield Architects, the ballroom Hasenheide 13 will serve as an exhibition venue for the Sammlung Wemhöner from 2025 onwards. Reason enough to review the eventful and lively history of the place in order to respectfully continue its history as a meeting place: a history that already began before the construction of the ballroom at the end of the nineteenth century, and in a certain way also exemplarily reflects the development of Berlin over the past 150 years. This publication invites you to follow Lothar Uebel's research and embark on a voyage of discovery that tells of fascinating episodes of an institution that deserves to continue to be a witness to Berlin's constantly changing face. Monograph on a famous Berlin ballroom soon to be remodeled by David Chipperfield Architects and turned into an arts venue Extensive historic images, contemporary book design
Wie kann Stadtplanung im Sinne der Bauwende das Bestehende weiterdenken, statt fortwährend nach Neuem zu fragen? Welche Planungskulturen braucht eine offene Gesellschaft? Welche Schnittstellen fehlen zwischen der Verwaltung und den Handelnden vor Ort? Perspektivischer Ausgangspunkt für die Bearbeitung dieser Fragen ist Mannheim-Käfertal - ein Stadtteil, der aufgrund der Konversion ehemaliger Militärflächen gegenwärtig einer außergewöhnlich dynamischen Transformation unterliegt. In einem experimentellen Prozess arbeiten hier unterschiedliche Akteur*innen wie etwa eine evangelische und eine katholische Gemeinde, ein Sportverein und Nachbarschaftsgruppen gemeinsam mit der Stadtverwaltung daran, ein soziales und grünes Zentrum zu schaffen, das Alt und Neu verbindet. Zwischen institutionsübergreifenden Verhandlungen, Stadtentwicklung, dem Schaffen von Öffentlichkeit und Interventionen im Maßstab 1:1 entsteht eine kooperative Methodik zum Umgang mit baulichen Beständen. Piazza Spinelli zeigt auf, wie sich komplexe städtische Situationen lokal verankert weiterdenken und -entwickeln lassen.
The new Prater Museum - the exhibition publication At the center of the Wurstelprater amusement park, on the site of a former amusement arcade, the new Prater Museum, one of Vienna's first public buildings to be constructed in wood, opens in 2024.

Der Wiener Prater - ein Stück Stadtgeschichte im Spiegel der Zeit Wie kein anderer Ort repräsentiert der Prater die Geschichte Wiens und den Weg zur modernen Großstadt. Die Öffnung 1766 unter Kaiser Joseph II. markierte den Beginn einer neuen Zeit: Von nun an stand das kaiserliche Jagdgebiet allen Wiener:innen zur Erholung und zum Vergnügen offen, für Spaziergänge, Musikdarbietungen sowie Essen, Trinken und Tanz. Von optischen Apparaturen über Fußball, Ballonflug und Mondrakete bis zu Maiaufmarsch und Blumenkorso wurden hier alle Novitäten erstmals einem großen Publikum vorgestellt; im Wurstelprater, in Theatern, Kinos, Varietés, Zoos, Zirkussen, auf der Weltausstellung 1873, im Vivarium, im Planetarium oder im Stadion. Im Prater verdichten sich die großen Themen des modernen Lebens - das Verhältnis von Natur und Stadt, Mensch und Tier, moderner Technik und menschlichem Körper. Fundierte Beiträge zu mehr als 250 Jahren Stadtgeschichte: "Der Prater und die Stadt", "Natur und Technik", "Körper und Lust", "Großes Theater" Mit Beiträgen von mehr als 40 namhaften Autor:innen Mit zahlreichen Abbildungen und Bildstrecken Mit Beiträgen von: Thorsten Blume, Susanne Breuss, Andreas Brunner, Ingrid Erb, Brigitte Felderer, Michael Feuchtinger, Wolfgang Fichna, Helmuth Figdor, Alys George, Bernhard Hachleitner, Tobias Hofbauer, Severin Hohensinner, Martin Huber, Anna Jungmayr, Christian Klösch, Sarah Knoll, Claudia Koch, Thomas Macho, Wolfgang Maderthaner, Sabine Müller, Andreas Nierhaus, Klaus Nüchtern, Martina Nußbaumer, Vrääth Öhner, Eva-Maria Orosz, Olaf Osten, Peter Payer, Birgit Peter, Sarah Pichlkastner, Stefan Poser, Béla Rásky, Tabea Rude, Martin Scheutz, Werner Michael Schwarz, Georg Spitaler, Ursula Storch, Christine Strahner, Alina Strmljan, Ernst Strouhal, Manuel Swatek, Klaus Taschwer, Katalin Teller, Gernot Waldner, Elsbeth Wallnöfer, Michael Wallraff, Elke Wikidal, Susanne Winkler, Marie Yazdanpanah, Susana Zapke
Die strategische Planung, die Ende der 80er Jahre auf den städtischen Bereich übertragen wurde, hat die Entwicklung der Raum- und Gebietsplanung sowohl im französischen System, das durch die Dezentralisierung Anfang der 80er Jahre gekennzeichnet ist, als auch im italienischen Regionalsystem, das seit Ende der 40er Jahre umgesetzt wird, tiefgreifend geprägt. In Frankreich wurden mit dem SRU-Gesetz aus dem Jahr 2000 das Konzept des städtischen Projekts und neue Planungsinstrumente eingeführt, die die Verbindungen zwischen den Planungsebenen der Agglomerationen und der Gemeinden völlig neu gestalten und für mehr Flexibilität sorgen. In Italien, wo die Regionen in Fragen der Stadtplanung gesetzgeberisch unabhängig sind, trennt das Regionalgesetz 36/1997 den strategischen Teil der Pläne von dem eher programmatischen und operativen Teil auf den drei Planungsebenen (Regional-, Provinz- und Gemeindeebene) und schafft neue Beziehungen zwischen ihnen. Ziel dieser Untersuchung ist es, die Rolle der strategischen Planung und ihr Verhältnis zur traditionellen Raumplanung anhand von Vergleichen zwischen den Beispielen Marseille und Genua zu überprüfen.
La planification stratégique, transférée au domaine urbain à la fin des années 80, a profondément marqué l'évolution de la planification spatiale et territoriale, tant dans le système français, marqué par la décentralisation au début des années 80, que dans le système régional italien mis en place depuis la fin des années 40. En France, la loi SRU de 2000 introduit le concept de projet urbain et de nouveaux instruments de planification, remodelant complètement les articulations entre les échelles de planification des agglomérations et des communes, en introduisant plus de flexibilité. En Italie, où les régions disposent d'une autonomie législative en matière d'urbanisme, la loi régionale 36/1997 dissocie la partie stratégique des plans de la partie plus programmatique et opérationnelle aux trois niveaux de planification (régional, provincial et communal) et crée de nouvelles relations entre eux. L'objectif de cette recherche est de vérifier le rôle de la planification stratégique et sa relation avec l'aménagement du territoire traditionnel, en comparant les cas exemplaires de Marseille et de Gênes.
