Metropolitan dimension of Tri-City: Development of the new harbor structures
No full textCity on water : 6th AESOP European Urban Summer School 2015, BremenEconomic and political transformation after 1989 brought entirely new situation to Polish cities, which include also the harbor ones. In specific, the existing Baltic Sea ports had to face significant changes. They were associated both with new development opportunities and threats, emerging – among others – from the new geography of logistics links. These were based on the fact that both north-south and east-west transportation corridors were made available, which brought new development conditions to our cities. Among others, the large share of cargo was redirected from mainland Poland and other former socialistic countries to the German, Dutch, French and Mediterranean ports. This – to large extend – diminished the economic situation of the existing ports. At the same time connections to Scandinavian countries were re-opened, which effected in large increase of the cargo shipment in this direction. Besides these, the Polish seaports had to face rapid changes in the structure of cargo – which includes emergence of the new type of goods and vanishing traditional type of cargo – including coal i.e

Upper city planning and development: the Juiz de Fora growth vector
No full textProceedings of the IV World Planning Schools Congress, July 3-8th, 2016 : Global crisis, planning and challenges to spatial justice in the north and in the southJuiz de Fora is the largest city in the Zona da Mata region, in the state of Minas Gerais. It is currently undergoing a strategic expansion process in its western vector. Among the expansion projects, there is the federal road known as the BR-440.
The BR-440 construction is foresee in federal law, the road purpose is to connect two other important federal roads: the BR-040 and BR-267. According to the plan, the BR-440 will have nine kilometers in length that will connect the Upper Town (RP West) to the Northeast of the city, affecting about 27 neighborhoods, condos and housing developments. The highway will have three viaducts and two lanes, besides shoulders, walks and pedestrian walkways, flower beds and security tracks, according to data provided by the City Hall.
According to the Director Development Urban Plan of Juiz de Fora (PDDU / JF, 2000), a public bodies major concern was to seek new avenues for the city growth and expansion, focusing on the transport infrastructure question, namely, the channels and flow paths creation.publishedVersio
The politics of spatialising shared pasts in (post-) colonial and diaspora times
No full textProceedings of the IV World Planning Schools Congress, July 3-8th, 2016 : Global crisis, planning and challenges to spatial justice in the north and in the southThis study investigates issues of mutuality in post-colonial heritage, with a specific focus on the Palestinians who returned to Palestine in the temporary period of peace (1993-2000) and those who remained and continue to endure the colonisation. With the signing of the Oslo Agreement in 1993, the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and the State of Israel agreed to end the First Intifada (1987-1993), or “Uprising” against the Israeli occupation of Palestine in 1948. The Palestinian Authority (PA) was established as the legitimate government of the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT), constituting the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Around 100,000 Palestinians, who had been living in the diaspora since being ‘ethnically cleansed’ (Pappé 2006) during the Israeli occupations in 1948 and 1967, were allowed by the Israeli government to return to the OPT (MPC 2013, p.1). Some came only as temporary visitors, travelling under the passports of their new nationalities, but many came to stay. They returned to what they still remembered as their homeland to search for their roots, history and identity, and to contribute to the restoration of Palestine. During their exile, they had sustained their identity through the memories of what they had lost.
Upon their arrival, the returnees were confronted by significant socio-spatial changes as well as the large scale of destruction in the OPT. Those who had remained in Palestine, and had suffering internal displacement or had held on to their original homes despite the occupations, called themselves the samedeen, or “the steadfast”, and had their own experiences and memories.publishedVersio
Materiality of place and politics of placemaking: in conversation with metrocentric urban theories
No full textProceedings of the IV World Planning Schools Congress, July 3-8th, 2016 : Global crisis, planning and challenges to spatial justice in the north and in the southThis presentation draws on my latest book, Global Heartland: Displaced Labor, Transnational Lives and Local Placemaking (Indiana University press, 2016). The book gives an account of diverse, dispossessed, and displaced people brought together in a former sundown town in rural Illinois, called Beardstown, when its meat processing plant recruits workers among African Americans, Mexicans and West Africans. Drawing on ethnographic research conducted in Illinois, Mexico and Togo, my research for the book unfolds how this workforce is produced for the global labor market; how their transnational lives help them to stay in these jobs; and how these displaced workers renegotiate their relationships with each other across the lines of ethnicity, race, language, and nationality as they make a new home in Illinois. By focusing on the type of locality that is at the heart of capitalism and yet has been largely overlooked in urban scholarship on globalization, the study offers a fresh perspective on materiality and politics of place and placemaking.publishedVersio
Culture based planning and creative economy framework for indigenous community development
No full textProceedings of the IV World Planning Schools Congress, July 3-8th, 2016 : Global crisis, planning and challenges to spatial justice in the north and in the southThe concept of creative cities, cultural economy and culture based planning emerged in Europe in 1980’s which emphasized the need for culture based plan and demonstrated its benefits in economic development and urban planning. By 2001 the concept was accepted worldwide and adopted across cities of different sizes. This concept gained significance especially during global recession where cities were made to look for alternative creative approach to generate employment and improve quality of life. Cultural activities singly and collectively have become key factors in urban policy and city planning as they can be used to imitate interconnectedly for urban regeneration, place making, urban design and social planning.
Cultural based planning particularly has impact socially, economically and environmentally.
It promotes strong neighborhoods, promotes innovation, environmental sustainability, public health, lifelong learning, public safety, public life safe and improves quality of life.
Conventional planning so far has been mostly driven with economic goal as the focus with popular strategies based on technologies and global perception. Culture based planning gives niche for each city, region to be creative in defining its own developmental growth (pattern), identifying its own parameters and have unique identity.publishedVersio
Interpreting urban planning: hermeneutics, practice and theory
No full textProceedings of the IV World Planning Schools Congress, July 3-8th, 2016 : Global crisis, planning and challenges to spatial justice in the north and in the southHermeneutics was once dismissed by Fainstein (2000, 456) as a ‘thicket’, by implication an impenetrable jungle of ideas that is worth avoiding. The origins of hermeneutics in textual analysis is, moreover, distant from the concerns of planning and practice.
It is not necessary, however, to go far into the thicket of hermeneutics to recognise that, at the most general level, planning theory is an exercise in interpretation. This paper is about the logic of theory, about the relationship between theory and practice and about the methodology of theory making. Theory is a device to make sense of the world and invariably involves relatively abstract ideas. However, abstract ideas and statements of those ideas can take many different forms. An interpretative, hermeneutic approach provides a means of understanding and organising the subject matter and also a means of breaking down barriers between positivist and non-positivist approaches, whilst also permitting the material ‘turn’ of recent theorising, as for example expounded by Rydin (2014).publishedVersio
Network in public policy education
No full textProceedings of the IV World Planning Schools Congress, July 3-8th, 2016 : Global crisis, planning and challenges to spatial justice in the north and in the southI begin with the following question: How can we innovate in public policy education in the context of information and communication society? The project proposal of the Network for Public Policy (Rede de Políticas Públicas – RPP)1 has the objective to develop knowledge production and, at the same time, make public policy experiences by actors from different fields that are members of the network and commit themselves to the defense of collective interests. The proposal is to change the structure of thought. Instead of thinking about space planning the challenge is to thing about the action and the transformation of space. Planning is a category below the action and of instrumental nature; there can be actions that result from planning and others that result from social resistance. Following the methodological approach proposed by Ana Clara Torres Ribeiro, sociology should focus on the present and look to what exists2. With this intent, public policies are recognized to be organized in policies, such as: environmental protection, urban development, health, education. Our goal is to join in the same network research laboratories focused on the analysis of different public policies and their effects on the process of territory transformation. Its meaning is associated with the need to do a work experience that links theory with the practice of public policy. Clearly, modernity separates the academic thinking from political action when the institutions that are responsible for knowledge formulation are separated from the bodies responsible for implementation of public policies.publishedVersio
A novel method for land use mapping for Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico
No full textProceedings of the IV World Planning Schools Congress, July 3-8th, 2016 : Global crisis, planning and challenges to spatial justice in the north and in the southSince 2007 half of the world’s inhabitants live in urban areas; and by the year 2050 it is projected that the urban population will surpass 60% of the total world population (United Nations, 2014; 2015). This expansion is most likely to happen in developing countries (Graizbord, 2007). Some of these countries do not take into account the resources needed to cope with this growing social phenomenon, thus causing segregation, slums, deficiency of infrastructure, social inequality and uncontrollable sprawl. This has become one of the main challenges for those countries all over the world that have been working on solutions to provide acceptable conditions and quality of life for the growing population in urban areas. The demographic growth has indeed raised many concerns such as, environmental, economic, hydrological, heat fluxes, micro-climatic, violence, irregular settlements, visual, sound, air and water pollution, social and psychological issues.
The main objective of this paper is to apply a novel method to extract the urban land use from remotely sensed images. This method was chosen, as there is a need to improve procedures that can update and identify the constant complex changing patterns and spatial development of urban areas.publishedVersio
