A study on the history of urban morphology in China based on discourse analysis Limeng Zhang¹, Andong Lu¹ ¹School of Architecture and Urban Planning, Nanjing University. Nanjing University Hankou Road 22#, Gulou District, Nanjing, China E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Key words: urban morphology, terminology, discourse analysis Conference topics and scale: Literature review   (Supported by the Natural Science Foundation of China, Grant No.: 51478215)   Urban morphology is a method widely used in China in the field of urban design and urban conservation. Since its first introduction to the Chinese context about 20 years ago, the key ideas and concepts of urban morphology underwent a significant phenomenon of ‘lost in translation’. Different origins of morphological thoughts, different versions of translation, as well as different disciplinary context, have all together led to a chaotic discourse. This paper reviews the key Chinese articles in the field of urban morphology since 1982 and draws out a group of persistent keywords, such as evolution, axis, urban fringe belt, plan unit and plot, that characterize the morphological approach to urban issues. By reviewing the transformation of the definition of these keywords, this paper aims to generate an evolutionary map of landmark ideas and concepts, based on which, four stages in the development of urban morphology in China can be identified: emergence, growth, maturity, practice. The mapping methodology could be extrapolated to other words, and the obtained evolutionary map could be a basic tool for further study.   References Conzen M. R.

Academic Debate

As games and gamified applications gain prominence in the academic debate on participatory practices, it is worth examining whether the application of such tools in the daily planning practice could be beneficial. This study identifies a research–practice gap in the current state of participatory urban planning practices in three European cities. Planners and policymakers acknowledge the benefits of employing such tools to illustrate complex urban issues, evoke social learning, and make participation more accessible. However, a series of impediments relating to planners’ inexperience with participatory methods, resource constraints, and sceptical adult audiences, limits the broader application of games and gamified applications within participatory urban planning practices. Games and gamified applications could become more widely employed within participatory planning processes when process facilitators become better educated and better able to judge the situations in which such tools could be implemented as part of the planning process, and if such applications are simple and useful, and if their development process is based on co-creation with the participating publics.

Intelligent Decision Support

Generally, decision making in urban planning has progressively become difficult due to the uncertain, convoluted, and multi-criteria nature of urban issues. Even though there has been a growing interest to this domain, traditional decision support systems are no longer able to effectively support the decision process. This paper aims to elaborate an intelligent decision support system (IDSS) that provides relevant assistance to urban planners in urban projects. This research addresses the use of new techniques that contribute to intelligent decision making: machine learning classifiers, naïve Bayes classifier, and agglomerative clustering. Finally, a prototype is being developed to concretize the proposition.

O texto discute o papel do Estado hoje no Brasil e em particular o do planejamento. Se historicamente as relações entre o Estado e o urbano pautaram-se por um esforço de normatividade da relação capital-trabalho, cabendo ao planejamento enquadrar a exceção e transformá-la em norma, transformações radicais recentes na economia e sociedade brasileiras sugerem que a exceção parece ter enquadrado o planejamento. Às desigualdades históricas da sociedade brasileira vieram juntar-se aquelas advindas da reestruturação produtiva e da globalização, reformatando o mercado, funcionalizando a relação Estado-capital, transformando políticas sociais em antipolíticas de funcionalização da pobreza, erigindo em norma o que antes dela se afastava, pontuando um esforço teórico que transitou da busca da normatividade para a racionalização da exceção.Plavras-chave: relações Estado–urbano; planejamento urbano; desigualdade social; Brasil. The state and the exclusion: or the exception state?Abstract: The text looks at the role played by the State in Brazil today and in particular the role of planning. If, historically, the relationships between the State and the urban issues were based on an effort to ease the relationship between capital and labor, planning to control the exception and to transform it into the rule, recent radical changes in the Brazilian economy and society suggest that the exception has itself curbed planning. To the inequalities typical of Brazilian society were added those stemming from the productive re-structure promoted by globalization, which re-shaped the market, re-purposing the relationship between State and capital, while turning social policies into anti-policies of poverty, transforming into the rule what beforehand was considered a deviation from it and promoting a theoretical effort the aim of which is to rationalize the exception and turn it into the norm.Keywords: relationship State-urban; urban planning; social inequality; Brazil.

This article suggests that the domination of the scale of the neighborhood in planning distorts our understanding of urban phenomena and that a multiscalar approach is required. It examines the association of perceived scales with residential satisfaction. The findings suggest that the neighborhood is not the dominant scale with which people perceive and define their residential area, rather they consider smaller than the neighborhood scales. Moreover, we found that the perceived scale is a significant predictor of residential satisfaction. We conclude that scale matters for understanding urban issues, and become even more significant in a time of crisis such as the coronavirus epidemic, and that urban planning should consider and be informed by smaller than the neighborhood scales.

Abstract This paper examines how some pioneering planners in the Brazilian state of São Paulo, Victor Freire, Prestes Maia, Ulhoa Cintra, and Anhaia Mello disseminated and appropriated the dominant principles of international urbanism in the period 1910-1930. The education in city planning is directly associated with the repertoire of engineering courses and professional associations. In this environment, where public debates on urban issues were intense, it is worth noting the presence of English urbanist Barry Parker, who lived for two years in São Paulo, implementing innovative projects and debating with local planners. The access to urban planning manuals and reviews, and the presence of these Brazilian professionals in international seminars, led to the dissemination of the international ideals and some resulting essays on the way these ideals could be applied in many fields: urban regulations, projects in downtown areas, housing, sanitation, town extension plans, city management, zoning, among others. Contradictions among practices, actors and references are requesting a conceptual and methodological effort attentive to the historical dimension of the “circulation” of ideals or their limits of intelligibility and reception in other scales of time and place, such as the one proposed in this paper.

The Relationship

This article discusses how CIAM (Congrès Internationaux d’Architecture Moderne) influenced Dutch housing and urban planning. It starts by looking at programs and policies of the 1920s and 1930s Dutch housing design, and the way in which the new ideas of CIAM were there incorporated. In this history, the design of the AUP (Algemeen Uitbreidingsplan Amsterdam, or the General Extension Plan) is crucial, marking the transition into a new spatial model for large scale housing areas. CIAM thinking and its successor, TEAM X, strongly influenced the idea of the social-cultural city before and directly after WWII. This becomes evident in the urban extensions of Amsterdam and Rotterdam. This practice influenced urban planning and housing design and culminated during the 1970s in the design of the Bijlmermeer. Though legendary and still detectable in the urban developments of Amsterdam and Rotterdam, CIAM thinking came forward as both visionary and problematic. This article will trace the CIAM history in these two cities to depict concepts of innovation, but also continuities in modern housing design and planning practices by focusing on spatial models, typo-morphological transformations, and ideals vis- à-vis the urban public realm. In addition to relevant writings, typo-morphological maps, drawings and street photography also serve as tools of analysis and interpretation. The article will conclude with some future perspectives regarding the relationship between the CIAM legacy and contemporary urban issues.

The City

- This paper aims to combine communication and urban issues, moving from the concepts of identity and culture. The becoming of the city is the key of this work; in particular, city is seen as shifting from something finished and defined to something immaterial, whose borders are continuously changing. The Fordist city and its industrial production concentrated around industry are just a memory. The places which once hosted machines and workers has become locations for culture and loisir. Several consequences are implied in such trend: the emerging of the spatial concept of "periurban", and of some places as change symbols of the social morphology of the city: airports, highways, shopping malls. In the past, geographers and urban planners felt the urge to individuate borders and limits to the city; today, flexibility seems the prominent characteristic of such "new" places; in other words, flexibility is one of the most requested elements of periurban areas, which are trying to escape as much as possible from a regulated urban planning.Key words: sprawl, unfinished city, CID (Common Interest Developments), periurban.
