Successive Change

The paper develops the theses of D.O. Shvidkovsky, interpreting the evolution of the development of St. Petersburg as a successive change in a number of concepts of urban development. Using the example of the Spit of Vasilievsky Island, the main models are highlighted, their radical focus and the overall scale of implementation, characteristic of St. Petersburg, are emphasized. The fundamental discrepancy of the target settings of the urban planning process at three main stages of development of the historical city center is recorded. It is noted that modern urban planning policy does not take into account the damage caused to its landscapes in the 1840-1910s, when the openness and transparency of the ensemble of central squares were lost, and the Collegiate Square on the Spit was liquidated. The relevance of a return to a multifactorial environmental approach in the formation of urban open spaces today is emphasized.

Land Use Development

The land and town planning legislation concerning the planning of land use development within the united territorial communities (UTC) is considered. It is found that legislative norms need to be finalized. The necessity of updating the existing land management documentation developed prior to the adoption of the Law of Ukraine "On Land Management" and changes in the structure of urban development in connection with the adoption of the Law of Ukraine "On Regulation of Urban Development" was proved as they do not ensure the integrity of the planning process within the territories of these communities through their institutional incapacity (proved by the example of the Palan Unified Territorial Community of the Uman district of the Cherkasy region). The priority of land management and urban planning documents as the most influential tools in planning the development of land use systems in UTC is scientifically grounded and their interdependence established.

The City

Ancient city fortifications are one of the specific types of defensive architecture. Along with the buildings of castles, blocks of urban residential development, monastery complexes and field defensive structures, they formed a special type of architectural and urban planning objects. During their construction, the skills of both an architect, builder, and military engineer were often combined. Not so many objects of urban defense architecture have come down to our time. Therefore, every fragment of the city's defensive walls and earthen fortifications preserved today, as a rule, is a valuable document of its era and needs careful protection and preservation. Urban fortifications (as opposed to fortifications of castles or fortresses) were the objects of priority liquidation in the process of urban development. There are very few of them preserved in Ukraine, so their preservation and study is a matter of extreme importance. Lviv is a unique city on the map of Ukraine in terms of the development of urban fortifications. The article analyzes the reflection of objects and monuments of defense construction in the scientific and design documentation "Historical and Architectural Reference Plan of the City of Lviv". Data on the stages of development of Lviv fortifications are highlighted. Special attention is paid to the remains of fortifications that have been preserved in the archaeological form. Their identification, conservation and identification is important task for modern urban development projects. The paper makes hypotheses about some hitherto unidentified elements of fortifications of the XVII-XVIII centuries. Special emphasis is placed on the need for a special scientific study on the detailed reconstruction of all stages of the development of defense belts around the city center and suburbs of Lviv

Visual Attributes

What are the visual attributes of successfully designed urban open spaces that play significant roles in the creation of sustainable livable cities? Public spaces are mostly designed for social interaction and communication. The aesthetic and morphological dimensions of public spaces are among the essential visual and physical characteristics that need to be understood for successful social use. This paper reports on a study that was exploratory and qualitative in nature and sets out to explore the different physical characteristics of designed urban open spaces as being aesthetically and socially important from the users' point of view. By using photo simulation techniques, a set of 24 photographs of urban plazas, squares, and pedestrian malls were used as surrogates for the physical environment. The study identified some salient attributes of designed urban open spaces in order to create sustainable urban planning, with six sub-categories considered to be important. Based on detailed participant responses, a list of the attributes of preferred physical environment to design sustainable urban open space has been developed. The findings can be implemented to create sustainable urban planning as well as to design successful urban plazas, squares, and other public open spaces according to user preferences in the future.

This chapter raises the significance of integration of cultural attributes in the urban planning process for sustainability of pilgrimage towns. It identifies the spatial connotations of cultural practices, processes and events to review synergies between culture and urban planning. Two Indian pilgrimage towns of Vrindavan and Haridwar with congruent cultural context but diverse urban setting have been examined. Eight significant diverse attributes of both case studies are discussed for examining linkages of cultural dimensions with urban planning, and sustainability of indigenous urbanism of Indian pilgrimage towns. Recent policy initiatives in India envision an increasing inclusion of cultural and heritage aspects in urban development, but are constrained by paucity of empirical spatial research on Indian pilgrimage towns.

General Terms

This chapter argues that professional lobbying is turning out to be an important factor in the de- and re-politicisation processes of urban development. It describes the phenomenon of professional lobbying in urban planning in general terms. The chapter then draws on public affairs studies, outlining the broad spectrum of tasks of the lobbyist and identifying certain strategies and tactics of lobbying. To question the technocratic logics of contemporary urban governance, the chapter asks what the professionalisation of lobbying means and how it affects the planning process and the related decision-making process. The focus is on the Finnish context and especially on Helsinki.

The Status

On 27 January 1969 the list of urban heritage in Lithuania was officially declared, and therefore 62 cities and towns, with the exception of S˘iauliai, were given the status of local Lithuanian urban values. In 1980 the revised list of Lithuanian urban heritage again disregarded S˘iauliai. But the analysis of the current situation, estimating demands of urban development, has demonstrated the existence of a very clear historic urban structure in Šiauliai, which can be regarded as a valuable urban heritage territory. A lot of scientific research projects, urban planning documents, architectural and urban competitions strengthened an urban heritage argument with facts. The ways of legitimating an urban heritage status are obvious. The potential of urban development in the central part of S˘iauliai is enormous, but a balance between urban de- veploment and urban heritage conservation and preservation is also very important. The paper applies scientific statistical data and information received from the urban concept of Šiauliai and the analysis of the current urban structure. The information of the paper can be applied for creating a recommendable indicator system and urban development principles during the detailed planning process in Šiauliai. Santrauka 1969 m. sausio 27 d. LSSR kultūros ministro ir LSSR Ministrų tarybos valstybinio statybos reikalų komiteto pirmininko įsakymu Nr. 37/16 paskelbtas Lietuvos urbanistinių paminklų sąrašas. Taigi 62 miestai ir miesteliai buvo paskelbti vietos reikšmės urbanistikos paminklais, bet paminklų sąraše nėra Šiaulių miesto. Nėra ir 1980 m. patikslintame Lietuvos urbanistinių paminklų sąraše. Iš atliktos esamos padėties analizės, įvertinus urbanistinės plėtros poreikį ir potencialą, paaiškėjo, kad Šiaulių mieste yra labai aiški istoriškai susiklosčiusi urbanistinė struktūra, kuri, tinkamai respektuota, gali būti traktuojama kaip urbanistinio paveldo teritorija. Taip pat atlikta mokslinių darbų, galimybių studijų, teritorijų planavimo dokumentų, konkursinių projektų ir pan. analizė ne tik tą patvirtino, bet ir parodė būdus, kaip tą padaryti. Šiaulių miesto centrinės dalies urbanistinės plėtros potencialas didelis, bet labai svarbus plėtros ir apsaugos balansas. Straipsnio pobūdis – taikomasis, nes sukurtas rekomendacijų blokas, kuris leidžia parengti rekomendacinių užstatymo principų ir rodiklių kompleksą, kuriuo remiantis galima būtų rengti Šiaulių miesto centrinės dalies detaliojo plano reglamentus.

Planning Approaches

The rapid urbanization in many developing countries has indicated several challenges in different aspects. This is due to inefficient urban planning approaches towards managing the development process. Similar to many other developing countries, Iran has experienced rapid urbanization in recent decades. Although over the last few decades, urban planning processes have been applied to develop Iranian cities, urban planning has failed to tackle the challenges facing the cities. This paper seeks to identify the barriers that have prevented Iranian cities from achieving the goals of urban planning. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the current literature on the concept of urban planning and to assess the urban development plan process in Iranian cities. The required data were collected through a review of international theoretical studies, Iranian experimental research and governmental reports. The findings of this study reveal five major barriers to the feasibility of the urban planning process, including the urban plans context, structure of urban planning, related law and regulations, public participation, and financial resources.

Over the past decade the concept of ‘resilience' – broadly viewed as the capacity to plan, prepare, respond and recover from shocks or disturbances - has gained increasing attention within urban planning literature. Yet there remains ongoing debate around how this concept can be operationalised within planning policy and practice. This paper presents emerging findings from two EU funded projects – HARMONISE and RESILENS – which both seek to explore the development of e-tools and processes to equip planners with capabilities to assess and enhance the resilience of existing and future urban development projects. To date, the widespread development and optimisation of such tools (and subsequent exploitation of such functions) have been relatively limited in practice due to a poor understanding of resilience as a concept, and differing conceptualisations of ‘resilience' across cities and national borders. This paper examines some of the key practical challenges in this respect.
