The Right to Housing: Differentiation of Practices in implementing Resettlement of Emergency Housing Stock Policy in Arkhangelsk
No full textThe collapse of state socialism and turn toward neoliberalism have led to a reduction of state support for industries, investments into science and military activities causing a structural crisis in the Russian North. Associated with the crises outmigration was aggravated by ageing and natural population decline (Eberstadt 2011) leading to depopulation and loss of social control over territories in the Russian Arctic except for the oil and gas provinces (Heleniak 2017). But the state policy has retained the declaration of power in the field of housing policy. Abandoned infrastructures and declining settlements are not solely ‘monuments’ of state socialism; they are also evidence of the current austerity, infrastructural underfunding, and the changing priorities of the Russian state (Bennett 2020). Moreover, depopulation, decay, and abandonment are not endemic to the Russian Far North but may be found in other parts of the Arctic (Heleniak, Turunen, Wang 2020) due to the novel reterritorialization of economic and political power that entails the ‘departure’ of capital and the state (Dzenovska 2020). Power is the same resource as infrastructure.Shrinkage and abandonment are spatially unequal (Mallah 2015). Also, power resources are unevenly distributed. In the current contribution, we focus on the distribution of power resources in a polarised
urban space in the field of housing policy in the case of Arkhangelsk, Russia. State policy declares a monopoly on regulation in the field of housing policy. Against this background, we examine that practices in politics are differentiated and can be expressed by different actors through ‘nondecision’. This leads to a government acting as a situational tactic rather than a strategy. And the very notion of power is not limited to local government
The dialogues in the regeneration of metropolitan heritage conservation areas: Case of Pingjiang Area, Suzhou
No full textIn 2014, the Chinese Central Government earmarked fourteen Chinese cities with ‘red lines’, preventing further urban expansion. Listed as national famous historical and cultural cities in China, each of these fourteen cities contains run-down areas in its urban centre. The regeneration of heritage conservation areas (HCA) is a growing trend for future urban development, involving specific protection strategies and spatial requirements. The majority of such regeneration projects entail incentives driven by local governments. Linked to this, since the 1980s, urban governance has transformed from managerialism to more entrepreneurial practices. This transformation facilitates multi-stakeholder engagement in regeneration projects, and in particular, emphasising community engagement as a tool to assist with the transference of cultural values and the further promotion of sustainable development. By examining morphological conditions and spatial parameters of the Pingjiang Area of Suzhou, this paper aims to explicate the realisation of multi-stakeholder collaboration in the regeneration process of Chinese metropolitan heritage conservation areas. The discussion outlines spatial frameworks specific to collaboration-oriented regeneration projects and the morphological tools needed to implement regeneration strategies. Conclusions analyse the appropriation and morphological tools associated with regeneration projects, drawing points to future research into urban morphology and city identity
The role of the neighbourhood ‘social-building’ unit as a tool for the construction and transformation of the contemporary city. Two case studies in Venice and Tokyo
No full textRecently we are observing a profound re-evaluation of the neighbourhood concept which takes a very wide turn in the contemporary debate on urban issues. This paper suggests a comparative analysis of two apparently very different realities to propose some considerations on the neighbourhood units and their phenomenological implications. The selection of the neighbourhood structures is based on the comparison of two representative urban structures: Venice and Tokyo. Despite the geographical and cultural differences of the plots, both seem to play a crucial role in urban settlements’ dynamics, thus preserving life comfort quality and good social interactions among the inhabitants. The analysis, conducted throughout the Urban Morphology tools and Geographical Information System (GIS), shows the relationship between private and public spaces within the elements that define the concept of neighbourhood unit as a construction and transformation tool for the contemporary city- considering social and environmental behaviours. Finally, a synoptic table will illustrate the fundamental elements that characterise the form of the analysed case studies, defining similarities and differences that give to the two urban structures their own identity and proposing a methodology to define a new approach for the XXI century city’s scenario
Modern urban form renewal at Cheste Workers University
No full textFranco's Workers Universities intended for vocational training with the State covering all student costs. Cheste Workers Universuty, designed by Moreno Barberá in 1967 for a population of 5000 people, was planned on a hill following the Athens Charter. Grouped by functions, the pieces are placed adapting to the topography, segregating road and pedestrian circulations. The urban complex is a synthesis of modern experiences. The change of political regime suppressed this educational model, emptying the Cheste’s complex of its function. Economic development led to the transformation of the surrounding landscape, with the expansion of new industrial and service areas or infrastructures that generated environmental impact on the urban area. The lack of heritage protection is a determining factor in the degradation of the urban fabric which, together with the complexity of the administrative-legislative management, has repercussions on the deficiencies accumulated in this paradigmatic example of modern urban planning. The main objective of the text is to define criteria for intervention that reconcile the new expansion areas with the heritage urban fabric. The research proposes the incorporation of heritage considerations for the readaptation of the urban fabric through a Master Plan that includes criteria to eliminate inappropriate interventions and guarantee future actions
Towards an organizational model of BIM practice based on collaborative engineering
No full textFor several decades, digital technology has revolutionized the world of construction. The advent of BIM (building information modeling) has attempted to solve the problem of project management between collaborators. After an extensive literature review on the adoption of BIM we have identified a major problem in the management of construction projects: lack of communication and collaboration between stakeholders. In this article we will try to solve this problem by applying a collaborative engineering method on an architectural project using BIM to solve the problem of collaborative work. To do this we are proposing, with the help of a collaborative engineering method, models to organize the work of the actors by defining the phases and modes of intervention and their temporalities
Intelligent Anticipatory Mobile Robot Networks for Autonomous Fruit Harvesting
No full textA relevant class of decision problems solved by autonomous
robots consists in deriving consensus strategies for coordinated group task
performance. This paper presents preference models for the above consensus
problems termed anticipatory networks (AN). By definition, an AN is a
multidigraph where temporally ordered agents are linked by a causal relation.
Another partial order relation is anticipatory feedback which expresses
preferences regarding some future decisions. We will present an application
of the above model to coordinating fruit harvesting by autonomous robot
teams. A graded freedom of the decision choice allows the robots to achieve
desirable efficiency of the harvesting process
Exploring the relationship between polder morphology and land system
No full textPraca w języku chińskim i angielskim.Polder, an important way of land use which widely exists in the lowland plain area, is the product of the long-term adaptive development of human and natural environment. However, the morphology of polder is constantly changing in different areas and even in the same area in different periods. Benefiting from the theoretical basis of Conzenian school, this study attempts to explain the evolution of polder morphology from the perspective of land system. Taking the Beemster in Amsterdam, Netherlands and Jinbaowei in Xuancheng, China as research samples, we compared the change process of land system and the differences in space and time of the corresponding polder morphological characteristics between the two samples, and verified the explanation with an example of Manhattan (former Dutch colony) block morphology in New York, USA. Our study indicates that the land system is the original gene of land morphology and the crucial influencing factor of polder morphology. This study helps to understand the reasons behind the morphology of polders and provides important references for land policy designation during the adaptive development of polders
