The urban transport crisis in emerging economies: a comparative overview
No full textThis chapter reflects on the 12 case studies contained in this book, and identifies some of the key issues, trends, and policy measures which emerge from the previous chapters. Consideration is also given to the lessons that can be learned from these countries and the extent to which they may be generalizable and applicable in other contexts across the world. The chapter is structured according to the main headings used in each of the country-specific chapters

At the end of the chapter, a new agenda for parking research in large cities is set out.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Spatial Planning and Strateg
TRANSACTIONS of AESOP: Podcast – Planning Ukraine’s Recovery
Get PDFThe podcast offers a thirty-minute conversation between the two editors, Oleksandr Anisimov and Dominic Stead, and Marco Cremaschi for the journal, providing an accessible introduction to the latest issue of Transactions. This special issue addresses a major blind spot in current debates on Ukraine’s recovery: the role of spatial planning. By filling this critical gap, it provides an analytical foundation for rebuilding Ukraine’s territories in ways that are resilient, democratic, and aligned with European integration.
Despite war devastation on a scale unseen in Europe since 1945, most policy discussions continue to focus on financial, military, or governance dimensions, overlooking the central importance of geography, land use, and the built environment for meaningful reconstruction. Post-war recovery in Europe historically relied on new planning approaches and welfare institutions. Ukraine is now facing a similarly transformative moment, where the alignment of its spatial governance with EU directives will have far-reaching implications for land, the environment, infrastructure, and regional development
From Foucauldian Biopower to Energopower and Infopower:An Interview with Dominic Boyer and Colin Koopman
No full textKirsten Hasberg talks to Dominic Boyer, anthropologist and author of Energopolitics: Wind and Power in the Anthroprocene, and to Colin Koopman, philosopher and author of How We Became our Data: A Genealogy of the Informational Person. Their books published in mid-2019 put forward novel conceptualizations of Foucauldian biopower, which they term infopower and energopower, respectively. Criss-crossing between philosophical conceptualizations and concrete problems like the struggles of renewable energy communities (Boyer) and the influence of economic thinking on datafication (Koopman), the conversations show how Foucauldian concepts are relevant to today's power struggles inherent to the energy transition and the digital transformation.Kirsten Hasberg talks to Dominic Boyer, anthropologist and author of Energopolitics: Wind and Power in the Anthroprocene, and to Colin Koopman, philosopher and author of How We Became our Data: A Genealogy of the Informational Person.

Developing an Integrated and Contextualized Planning and Design Framework for Livable Patterns of Urbanization in Chennai
No full textThis article analyses the urban conditions of Chennai, India, and takes a critical look at its planning framework by considering four main aspects: the ecological structures, urban morphology, mobility, and livability. To do so, the article examines policy documents, urban form, public perceptions, and daily mobility patterns. Specific attention is focused on three layers of the urban fabric: water and ecology, transport infrastructure, and housing. First, the city’s river restoration is critically assessed, with a focus on integrating the social dimension into the process. Second, the metro network is analyzed, specifically understanding its usage with respect to different user groups. Third, the densification pattern in different parts of the city is analyzed. Considering the layers of water, transport infrastructure, and housing together, the article sets out an alternative integrated approach to strategic design and planning in the city towards the goal of creating a more livable public realm. The proposed integrated framework, termed “supergrids” is a city-scale strategy that enables a large reconfiguration of the existing networks in the city, integration of ecological systems into the public space network, and a restructuring of movement patterns by upscaling the vehicular network, and aligning pedestrian connections with green networks, public transit, and important functions.Urban DesignSpatial Planning and Strateg

Agency and Structure in Urban and Regional Planning: An Illustrative Overview and Future Research Agenda
No full textThere is extensive literature on the agency of actors in urban and regional planning which draws on a wide range of theoretical lenses and concepts. One of the recurring themes is the relationship between agency and structure—the mutual interdependence between individual actions and collective institutions, rules, and norms. This article provides a narrative overview of the wide range of literature on agency and structure in relation to spatial planning clustered around six interrelated themes: institutions, discretion, pragmatism, networks, leadership, and emotions. It identifies new avenues for research, paying particular attention to empirical, scalar, and methodological issues.Spatial Planning and Strateg
Prospects for Transport research under the European Sixth Framework Programme
Get PDFThe European Commission provides an important source of funding for research and
development in many sectors including transport. Recent analysis indicates that the European
Commission currently funds almost a quarter of all publicly financed research and
development projects in the European Union (Schelhowe, 2002). The vast majority of
European research funding comes from the EU’s research ‘framework programmes’: multiannual programmes for research, technological development and demonstration (RTD)
activities. The current framework programme, the Fifth Framework Programme (FP5), sets
European research priorities for RTD activities up to 2002. Beyond 2002, a new framework
programme, the Sixth Framework Programme (FP6), will set EU research priorities.
Preparations are now well underway within the European Commission for this new
framework programme, which will identify European research priorities for RTD activities up
to 2006. At the time of writing (early 2002), the European Commission is close to adopting
proposals regarding the specific programmes and the implementation of FP6. This article
examines the draft proposals for FP6 and identifies the prospects for transport research
funding from the European Commission over the next few years. Of course it is possible that
the content of the Sixth Framework Programme will not exactly match the draft proposals reported in this paper although it is most unlikely that any of the main areas of research will
change
