London was destroyed in AD 60/61 by British rebels following the Icenian queen, Boudica. This chapter describes the archaeological traces of fire destruction, and reviews the contribution that the archaeological study of London makes to our understanding of the date and course of the revolt. Arguments concerning London’s unusual status are reviewed, and it is suggested that the city remained under the close control of the governor and imperial procurator. The urban community was dominated by an immigrant community with tastes developed on the Rhineland frontier. The absence of any evidence for the involvement of a local land-owning elite in civic affairs is identified as an important peculiarity of political arrangements in London.

The City of Montreal initiated a First Strategic Plan for Sustainable Development in 2005 followed by a Community and Corporate Sustainable Development Plan in 2010–2015. This study proposes a sustainable urban development indicator (SUDI) for each Montreal Urban Community (MUC) to evaluate the achievements of sustainable development plans. This study identifies thirty-two variables as the attributes of sustainable urban development. The multivariate technique and Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis are applied to determine the spatial pattern of SUDI for each MUC. The spatial pattern of SUDI identifies that Ville Marie, Verdun, Sud-Ouest, Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve and Plateau Mont-Royal have strong sustainable development. The findings of this study help the City of Montreal to understand the improvement of the sustainable development plans for Montreal city and to distribute the municipal budget for the community benefits accordingly.

Urbanism in the ancient world has been of abiding interest to ancient social and economic historians, but very little is known about the populations of cities. The nature of the papyrological material is such that certain features of communities can be assessed and quantified. We concentrate on the issue of population, considering both the number of people living in the various types of settlements and occupational structures. The results demonstrate essential differences between urban and rural settlements. The final section considers segmentation of the urban community itself. Through analysis of the residence patterns of members of particular social groups, we show that the city displayed a certain amount of social zoning and suggest that the fundamental social division in the city was between the elite and the rest of the population.

The Noongar Aboriginal people are the traditional owners of the southwest of Western Australia, including the land on which the city of Perth is located. Their recent history has been dominated by brutal and racist government policies that have created a diverse and complex community working to rediscover and preserve Noongar culture. Community media can be an effective and empowering tool for preserving culture, shaping a contemporary Noongar identity and creating a dialogue between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous urban community of Perth. This article discusses issues of Noongar identity in Perth, and looks at how lessons from the past are shaping new Noongar media initiatives and the establishment of Noongar radio.

From the many existing customs, one is very good and shows the sibling relationship between the immigrant community and the indigenous people of Aru. The Aru Islands have long been a place of trade because they have great natural products. Therefore, many immigrants of the Aru island to trade. It creates a sibling relationship between the two tribes. The association is framed in the Jabu-jabu bond. This Jabu relationship is established between 6 villages in the Aru Islands and one of the immigrant tribes. This bond occurs because there is a history, so they always perform traditional rituals every few years. This bond occurs when the Koba gets the Bugis and asks for rice. The Bugis people told them about the place, and during the process of taking their rice, they were helped by people from 3 villages in the Aru Islands. In the city of Dobo the immigrants (BBM and China) are more economically developed than the natives. Therefore, there is a need for a genuine understanding of how indigenous Aru people and immigrants should coexist reasonably and grow together. This research concludes that the immigrant community must respect the indigenous population and vice versa to advance the Aru Islands area. In addition to maintaining relationships with others, awareness to protect the environment is also very important. As the people of Koba and Jabu-Jabu see rice as a source of life, it must be manifested in all the universes. In this way, God can be understood as the source of universal brotherhood. And the Aru people embody it in their daily lives.

The main focus of this article was dynamics and transformation of Makassar when it became the capital of the State of East Indonesia (NIT), 1946-1950. The discussion is emphasized mainly on two main issues namely the arrangement of cities and community life. The first issue relates to the burden of providing infrastructure to support the role of the nation's capital. The development of facilities and infrastructure is a necessity that must be provided for smooth government at the central level. From this city, the NIT government apparatus, such as the President, ministry, and parliament, have offices and organize their activities. The second issue relates to the consequences of the arrival of people from outside Makassar to work in various institutions or organizations. Makassar is synonymous with a diverse population, concerning ethnicity, religion and profession. This working paper is more detail explain about infrastructure both in terms of administration and physical development of the city, as well as the dynamics of urban community life, especially in cultural activities. In the context of progress, they become the space of expression of modernity as the times change. The described reality explains that many different responses are occurring in each region of Indonesia in responding to the changing times. Especially in this period is better known as the revolution.

Tradition of tomorrow is the modernity of today andToday’s tradition was the modernity of yesterday. Modernity, as a process and not as an output, is a derivative of transformation. Transformations are different for diverse aspirations of its producers. Aspirations are negotiations between the needs and desires, and what can actually be achieved.Traditional beliefs and practices coexist, transform and sometimes depart from the original, as a result of aspirations of modernization and inspirations from the idea of modernity, to become modern. Since, a traditional urban community is deeply grounded in native tradition while becoming globally modern, an enquiry about how we are changing internally will lead us to the process of how we interpret and change modernity, thereby exploring various indigenous ways of becoming modern. Indigenous Modernity varies with different contexts and is a harmonious adaptation to contextual contemporary life. The cause for such transformations can be global but the effects will always be a derivative of indigenous reactions to modernity. In the city of Varanasi, the agents of modernity are spread across different periods, transforming the economic, social, and built fabric of the city. One can stretch the strands of transformations from the sacred core of the city (transformative layer of modernity, Kashi), to the outer periphery of the core (additive layer of modernity, Varanasi) and, sometimes to the trans-urban areas that grapple with global aspirations and new economic opportunities. This paper is based on a research aimed at discovering the transformations that have occurred under the forces of modernization within the physical fabric of Varanasi as well as within its society. Further, the study also looks at how sacred cities, the identity and intrinsic value of which are grounded in unassailable tradition, derive their ‘indigenous modernity’ to create a unique urbanism. An understanding will, thus, be made on modernity as something both deeply traditional and being constantlyreinvented through contemporary practices and of the signiicant link between modernity and transformation as a key to understand the phenomenon of ‘indigenous modernity’. The study spans from typological level, to the Mohalla level and, to the city level, and inally recommends ways of sustainable indigenous modernization.

Studies of alienation among Native Americans have been few. Reliance on sociological and psychological themes is commonplace in explaining Native Americans' alienation. This project was designed to explore the relationship between alienation and Native Americans' identification (26 men, 27 women) in an urban setting. Analysis generated correlations for scores on alienation with age, years of schooling, years of living in the city, percentage of Indian blood, self-rating of Indian identity, and Indian pride which were affected by gender.

İsveç, göç olgusuyla ilk kez Rusya’nın Finlandiya’yı işgaliyle tanışır;  daha sonra ekonomik alanda kaydettiği gelişmeyle nitelikli işgücüne duyduğu gereksinimle isteyerek işçi göçü alır, son olarak da Orta-Doğu ve Doğu Avrupa’da gelişen siyasal çalkantılar sonucu, farklı uluslardan gelen demokrasi savaşçılarına kapılarını açar. Farklı ülkelerden farklı gerekçelerle İsveç’e ve özellikle de Stockholm’e sığınan çok sayıda aydın, beklentilerini bulamaz; bunalım, yalnızlık, yabancılaşma ve özlem içinde yaşar. Bu bağlamda, Stockholm’e 12 Mart 1971 Muhtırası ardından giden Zülfü Livaneli ile 12 Eylül 1980 öncesinde giden Demir Özlü, sürgün dönemi olarak niteledikleri göçmen yıllarındaki bireysel duygu, düşünce ve özlemlerinin yanında, Stockholm’deki göçmen toplumun durum ve sorunlarını yapıtlarına serpiştirirler. Livaneli, farklı kökenlere sahip göçmen topluluk etrafında Stockholm’ü daha çok sıkıntı veren hüzünlü bir kent olarak tanıtırken, Özlü’nün de hüzünlü olarak nitelendirdiği kent, göçmen sorunlarından çok entelektüel kimliğiyle doğup büyüdüğü İstanbul’a olan özlemini çağrıştırır. Ne var ki, her ikisinde de Stockholm zorunlu bir göçmen kentidir. Livaneli’nin yapıtının kişileri proletarya sınıfından veya en azından proleter sınıfın egemen olmasını isteyen tipler olmasına karşın, Özlü’nün kişileri sosyete çevrelerinde gezinen solcu aydınlardan oluşur. Çalışmamızın amacı, Özlü ve Livaneli’nin yazdıklarından hareketle, bir göçmen kenti olan Stockholm’ü ve orada yaşayan göçmen topluluğu mercek altına almaktır. ENGLISH ABSTRACTTwo authors and a city of exile: Stockholm in Özlü and LivaneliSweden opens its gates to the democracy warriors from different countries upon Russia’s invasion of Finland, its need for qualified labour force with the improvement in economy, and political unsteadiness in Middle East and Eastern Europe. Many intellectuals who take refuge in Sweden, especially Stockholm, for various reasons, cannot find what they have expected, and live in depression, desolation, alienation, and yearning. In this sense, Zülfü Livaneli who goes to Stockholm after the diplomatic warning of March 1979, and Demir Özlü who goes there before the 12nd of September 1980, touch upon the condition and problems of immigrants in Stockholm, besides their own feelings, thoughts, and yearning in the years which they describe as exile. While Livaneli introduces Stockholm as a somber, disturbing city around the immigrant community from different roots, the city which Özlü characterize as somber as well, reminds him of Istanbul in which he was born and grew up with his intellectual identity. However, Stockholm is a city of immigrants for both of them. The characters of Livaneli are from proletariat, or at least the ones who want the supremacy of the proletarian class, while Özlü’s characters are composed from leftist intellectuals from socialites. Our study examines Stockholm and the immigrant community who lives there by focusing on Özlü’s and Livaneli’s works.

(1) Background: There is a global trend to stimulate sustainable urbanization by updating the hardware of the built environment with green technologies. However, simply greening the city hardware does not ensure a sustainable urban system. In reality, urban communities, as cells of the city, play a crucial role in the sustainable development of the entire city. (2) Methods: This paper conducts a case study by investigating a community in Taipei with semi-structured interviews and other first-hand data. It examines how self-organization, voluntary groups, and the public participation of community members has successfully institutionalized a governing system for the sustainable development of communities; (3) Results: This paper identifies the major actors and mechanisms underpinning the sustainable development of urban communities with a case study in Taipei. The establishment of this more cost-effective form of community governance will possibly provide more benefits to community members; (4) Conclusions: This case study will shed light on the sustainable development of urban community in many other cities, offering possible pathways and epitome for self-organization of urban community in the coming era. Its cost-effective institutional design contributes greatly to sustainable community development, partly solving the current failure to promote urban sustainability.
