This article explores the role of remembering and history in the process of planning new spaces. We trace how the organizational remembering of past spaces enters the conception (i.e. planning) of a large culture center. By drawing on Henri Lefebvre’s reflections on history, time and memory, we analyze the processual interconnections of his spatial triad, namely between the planned, practiced, and lived moments of the production of space. We find that over time space planning involves recurrent, changing, and contested narratives on ‘lost spaces’, remembering happy spaces of the past that articulate a desire to regain them. The notion of lost space adds to our understanding of how space planning involves, through organizational remembering, a sociomaterial and spatiotemporal work of relating together different spaces and times in non-linear narratives of repetition.

As transformative learning is rooted in the belief that humans make meaning of their experiences, the incorporation of instructional design (ID) techniques in classroom management as a planning tool is well suited to learning environments in which the facilitator subscribes to Mezirow's theory. ID refers to a systematic process for developing instruction by following a prescribed model focused on accomplishment of desired learning outcomes. ID provides a clear, direct map to guide educators through the creation of lessons in accordance with curriculum expectations. ID is an appropriate tool for the practitioners of the three primary learning theories: behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism. Reiser and Dempsey described ID as a systematic progression of steps undertaken to develop education and training programs in a consistent and reliable fashion; it enables educators to take a modular approach to delivery of learning. This chapter explores the role of instructional design in transformative learning.

This study discusses the analysis of the application of the concept of green city in cluster dwellings in Gading Serpong. The selected case studies are Desa Menteng and Grand Amarillo. The selection of case study objects is based on awards obtained from property awards. This study tries to uncover the theory of the concept of a green city that is now used by P2KH (Green City Organizers' Alloy). Assessment uses indicators determined by P2KH Licenses; Green City Planning and Design, Green Open Space Planning, Efficient Energy Consumption (Green Energy), Effective Water Management (Green Water), Environmentally Friendly Waste Management (Green Waste), Green Buildings, Sustainable Transportation System Implementation (Transportation Green), Increasing the Role of Communities as Green Communities. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative method. The final results found by one cluster according to the specified criteria are not yet clustered.

Henri Lefebvre’s project, developed over decades of research produced a corpus of work that sought to reprioritise the fundamental role of space in the experience and practice of social life. His assertion that there is ‘politics of space’ provides a challenge to the planning and design of the built environment by emphasising the need to understand the complex of elements involved in ‘the production of space’. Lefebvre’s approach and his ‘cry and demand’ for a ‘right to the city’ reflects the fundamental focus and importance he imparts to the practices, meanings and values associated with the inhabitation and use of the social spaces of everyday life. It will be argued that planning and design theory and practice should seek to address more fully and incorporate Lefebvre’s spatial theory as a means to reinvigorate and regenerate the urban as a lived environment, as an oeuvre, as opportunity for inhabitation, festival and play and not merely as a functional habitat impelled by the needs of power and capital.

Management of standardization must be part of an overall strategy for knowledge management. This principle is illustrated with the help of a planning tool for standardization in telecommunication services. The tool integrates knowledge gained from studies on the management of innovation to understand the role that external and internal standards play in the development and operation of telecommunication services. We show how the scope of standardization should differ according to the timing of the standard within the life cycle of the technology as well as the type of interfaces to be standardization. This has implications on the role of standard bodies particularly because the product cycles of equipment manufacturers and service providers are not always synchronized.
