Resumen Este artículo expone la investigación llevada a cabo en el territorio de la Comunidad Indígena de Bosa con el objetivo de valorar escenarios de diálogo participativo pluricultural en procesos de desarrollo urbano. Para ello se estructuró una metodología crítico hermenéutica a partir del estudio de caso, en la que se contrastó un marco teórico construido desde la noción de participación aplicada a procesos de desarrollo urbano y conceptos extraídos de la Sustentabilidad Ambiental Urbana, con el proceso seguido para la formulación de los Planes Parciales ‘El Edén – El descanso’ y ‘Campo Verde’. En tal sentido, los resultados obtenidos confirman la falta de una inclusión real de la comunidad en las propuestas de desarrollo urbano que se busca sobreponer a su territorio ancestral y la existencia de un acervo cultural que debe ser protegido como saber local, que puede propiciar un desarrollo comunitario de escala local y ambientalmente sustentable. Se concluye, que tales hallazgos permitió evidenciar la necesidad de entender el territorio como espacio de derechos para construir plataformas participativas que permitan comprender cómo la estructura de la política pública puede salvaguardar el bienestar público sobre los intereses privados en defensa de territorios ancestrales. Abstract This article presents the research carried out in the territory of the Indigenous Community of Bosa with the aim of assessing scenarios of pluricultural participatory dialogue in urban development processes. For this, a critical hermeneutical methodology was structured based on the case study, in which a theoretical framework built from the notion of participation applied to urban development processes and concepts extracted from Urban Environmental Sustainability was contrasted, with the process followed for the Formulation of the Partial Plans 'El Edén - El Descanso' and 'Campo Verde'. In this sense, the results obtained confirm the lack of a real inclusion of the community in the urban development proposals that seek to overcome their ancestral territory and the existence of a cultural heritage that must be protected as local knowledge, which can promote a community development on a local and environmentally sustainable scale. It is concluded that such findings made it possible to demonstrate the need to understand the territory as a space of rights to build participatory platforms that allow understanding how the structure of public policy can safeguard public welfare over private interests in defense of ancestral territories.

This article examines the demolition-oriented restructuring relationship during urban development processes in the case study of the central business district in Kayseri (Turkey) by systematically analysing externally-conditioned events and trajectories. This transformation, characterised by changing periods of development and the analysis of the actors who are particularly active in the process, is explored through the socio-spatial developments in Kayseri. In this study, this has been expounded through the concept of path dependence, which states that current conditions are more dependent on past events and those past events lead to today's results. The decisions on the historically contingent periods and three critical junctures identified in the study were found to have been maintained until the next stage and strengthened by following the path-dependent tendency.

Food and nutrition trends cater for many more functions than simply satisfying the physical need for food. Given the fundamental significance of everyday food it seems clear that it is also relevant in urban development processes. Nutrition trends and food outlets influence the attractiveness and quality of life of neighborhoods, and therefore also reflect the development of urban space. This article aims to bring together the topics of urban development, consumption, and current nutrition trends. Attention is focused on the role played by gastronomic landscapes in urban gentrification processes and how current nutrition trends are manifested. Empirical research was conducted between 2019 and 2020 in the case-study district of Ehrenfeld in the city of Cologne. In the past, this industrial neighborhood was affected by downgrading processes. After years of decline, rising vacancy rates, and outwards migration, there have been clear signs of upgrading in Ehrenfeld since the end of the 1990s. The neighborhood is also characterized by an extensive and continuously growing gastronomic landscape, which combines a multiplicity of national and international cuisines and food cultures. About one-third of the food outlets located on Venloer Straße were established between 2010 and 2020.

Historic allées and urban avenues reflect a far-sighted and forward-thinking design attitude. These compositions are the living witnesses of olden times, suggesting permanence. However, the 20th century’s urban development severely damaged the environment, therefore hundred-year-old mature trees are relatively rare among city avenues’ stands. Due to the deteriorated habitat conditions, replantation may be necessary from time to time. However, there are a large number of replanted allées and urban avenues considered historical monuments, according to the relevant international literature in urban and living heritage’s preservation. The renewal often results in planting a different, urban tolerant taxon, as seen in several examples reviewed. Nevertheless, the allée remains an essential urban structural element, though often with a changed character. The Budapest Andrássy Avenue, a city and nature connection defined in the late 19th century’s urban landscape planning, aimed to offer a splendid link between city core and nature in Városliget Public Park. The 19–20th century’s history and urban development are well documented in Hungarian and several English publications, though current tree stock stand and linear urban green infrastructure as part of the urban landscape need a detailed survey. The site analyses ran in 2020–early 2021 created a basis for assessing the allées and the whole avenue as an urban ecosystem and a valuable case study of contemporary heritage protection problems. Andrassy Avenue, the unique urban fabric, architecture, and promenades have been a world heritage monument of cultural value since 2002. The allées became endangered despite reconstruction type maintenance efforts. The presented survey analyses the living heritage’s former renewal programs and underlines the necessity of new reconstruction concepts in urban heritage protection. We hypothesize that urban green infrastructure development, the main issue in the 21st century to improve the urban ecological system and human liveability, may support heritage protection. The Budapest World Heritage Site is worthwhile for a complex renewal where the urban green ecosystem supply and liveable, pedestrian-friendly urban open space system are at the forefront to recall the once glorious, socially and aesthetically attractive avenue.

PurposeKnowledge of the management issues for developing new bank offerings efficiently is limited. Furthermore, recent research suggests that organisational learning can contribute greatly to the success of innovation projects. The aims of this paper are to provide a detailed description of the development process of a new financial product and to identify learning actions that may contribute to its effectiveness.Design/methodology/approachReports findings from a qualitative, longitudinal case study of a well‐known French bank.FindingsThe results revealed an informal development process consisting of a sequence of issues to solve and decisions to make.Research limitations/implicationsThough observations fit with the theoretical model, the findings cannot be generalized due to the use of a qualitative methodology. Thus, selecting a development project that brings variance to the scope and degree of innovativeness could enrich the observed learning mechanisms. Second, as services are very heterogeneous, further research should be done on the development processes of different new services, for example standardised versus customised. Third, mechanisms of adoption or avoidance of learning procedures remain to be explored extensively. Understanding the reasons of choice and adoption of learning strategies according to the environment and nature of the project could lead to further managerial recommendations.Practical implicationsImplications for banks to encourage learning during innovation are discussed and several opportunities for further research are suggested.Originality/valueAn informal development process is revealed, consisting of a sequence of issues to solve and decisions to make. Multiple learning actions and strategies are identified that enhance process effectiveness and efficiency.
