In 2006, the introduction of the Places to Grow Act required municipalities to meet a 40% intensification target through infill development. This has transformed the development industry as many underutilized sites, such as Greyfields, are prime locations for mixed-use and densification. Although many developers have not harnessed the potential of Greyfield redevelopment as barriers exist, which has led to continued Greenfield development and urban sprawl. This paper, through a literature review, case study analysis, and key informant interviews, examines existing barriers to Greyfield redevelopment. Findings from the study were than applied to a Greyfield site that has immense opportunity for redevelopment. A preliminary site plan proposal and recommendations are presented to illustrate strategies that should be adopted to ensure successful redevelopment.

<p>This thesis investigates how to advance the theory of Anna Klingmann, an architectural brand theorist and the author of Brandscapes (2007). In Brandscapes Klingmann writes that people use brands to represent who they are and that brands simultaneously represent and shape people according to the values associated with them. Klingmann applies this concept of branding to architecture, proposing that all buildings have brands which represent and shape society. Klingmann argues these brands can be strategically used to shape society in the direction of enhanced wellbeing. This thesis argues however that Klingmann’s notion of wellbeing emphasises the economic dimensions of the concept, and therefore only addresses how the brands of architecture can enhance economic wellbeing in society. This thesis proposes that Klingmann’s theory can be advanced by investigating non-economic elements of wellbeing and how these can be conveyed through the brands of architecture. This investigation focuses on the context of Wellington, New Zealand, and uses the framework provided by the New Zealand Ministry of Social Development in its 2010 Social Report to define non-economic elements of wellbeing. The thesis uses the methods of literature review, case study analysis and design research to advance the theory of architectural branding. Overall, the thesis argues that advancing Klingmann’s theory beyond its economic focus can contribute to a better understanding of how the brands of buildings can be used to enhance the non-economic wellbeing of society.</p>

Making it work together can be challenging when various stakeholders are involved. Given the context of neighborhoods and cities specifically, stakeholders values and interests are not always aligned. In these settings, to construct long-term and sustaining participatory city-making projects, to make it work together, is demanding. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a design framework for inclusive and participatory city-making. This framework is inspired by the playable city perspective in that it endorses an open, exploratory, and interactive mindset of city actors. An extensive literature review on approaches taken for playful and participatory interventions in local communities provides the foundations for the framework. The review brings forward four pillars on which the framework is grounded and four activities for exploration of the design space for participatory city-making. A case study from The Hague (NL) is used to demonstrate how the framework can be applied to design and analyze processes in which city stakeholders together make it work. The case study analysis complements the framework with various research methods to support researchers, urban planners, and designers to engage with all city stakeholders to create playful and participatory interventions, which are inclusive and meaningful for the local community. The research contributions of this paper are the proposed framework and informed suggestions on how this framework in practice assists city stakeholders to together make it work.
