A SITUATIONAL APPROACH TO STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING OF REGIONAL AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

Through a situational approach to strategic management of regional and urban development it is possible to identify the interaction between the managerial process and mechanism; to bring together the spatial and activity-related concepts of territorial development; and to explain the phenomenon in question from both general and specific perspectives. Territorial development is becoming the principal object of strategic management of a region or a city, its key tool being the utilization of its own good practices. The main objective of territorial development is increasing the capacity for constructive interaction between all its “actors and factors”. In this situation, monitoring of territorial development is seen as an integral part of management. It ensures the inventory, observation, and comparison of various trends determining the situation, as well as the results of actions aimed at its targeted alteration. Monitoring helps not only to promptly identify threats, but also to detect the opportunities for developing the situation in the desired directions within the “natural” trends of its dynamics. The situational approach to the monitoring of regional and urban development presented in the article was implemented in the development of the Strategy for the Socioeconomic Development of the City of Moscow until 2015 (as commissioned by the Department of Economic Policy and Development of the Government of Moscow) by an international team headed by the experts of Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration and Higher School of Economics.

Since the advent of the second digital revolution, the exponential advancement of technology is shaping a world with new social, economic, political, technological, and legal circumstances. The consequential disruptions force governments and societies to seek ways for their cities to become more humane, ethical, inclusive, intelligent, and sustainable. In recent years, the concept of City-as-a-Platform was coined with the hope of providing an innovative approach for addressing the aforementioned disruptions. Today, this concept is rapidly gaining popularity, as more and more platform thinking applications become available to the city context—so-called platform urbanism. These platforms used for identifying and addressing various urbanization problems with the assistance of open data, participatory innovation opportunity, and collective knowledge. With these developments in mind, this study aims to tackle the question of “How can platform urbanism support local governance efforts in the development of smarter cities?” Through an integrative review of journal articles published during the last decade, the evolution of City-as-a-Platform was analyzed. The findings revealed the prospects and constraints for the realization of transformative and disruptive impacts on the government and society through the platform urbanism, along with disclosing the opportunities and challenges for smarter urban development governance with collective knowledge through platform urbanism.

Abstract For many years, buffers are playing an important role for protecting as well as exploiting urban streams environment. In 40s & early 50s Tehran with 5 urban streams which flow from northern mountains to southern deserts of the city had been created unique aesthetic nature. At that time no specific environmental regulatory implemented by the government but since lack of any disturbing population and any urban development, the urban nature was self protecting. But in recent decades a huge development occurs leading to impaired streams which no conventional buffers such as static quantitative buffer zone and qualitative buffer zone. This paper is deeply investigating ecological restoration and promoting a new conceptual model as ecological buffer zone for Urban Streams. This buffer is agile, dynamic, and variable in both stream directions (longitudinal and latitudinal) consist of many layers such as biological (both fauna and flora), geotechnical, artificial infrastructure buffer, legal, historical, social, economical and etc Layers. If this model properly implemented longtermly will protect current urban nature and even enhance the environment eventually, partially, and gradually reverse to their historical natures. Ecological should be tailored for each individual river and stream based on few rules, tools and techniques. The paper is based on three years extensive research study for all 5 major urban streams in Tehran and implementing on Farahzad upstream specifically. It elaborates how to define different above-mentioned layers and finally how to integrate all together. EB has been currently implemented in Tehran urban streams by the municipality.

The biggest dilemma of the Hungarian public administration, state administration nowadays is the future of the medium level administration. There are fierce debates in scientific and political circles about whether the county strengthened in its competencies should fill this position or the region functionning not always satisfactorily in the field of the territorial development. The picture is compleated by the theory of the „big county system" reappearing from time to time in scientific literature. The European spatial development and the appareance of the „city regions" lead to different solutions and development strategies in the member states of the EU. In Hungary, there has no step forward yet. The competencies, tasks of the „small regions" need to be clarified, only ad-hoc solutions were born depending on the political circumstancies without any conceptions in the long run.

The primary aim of the study was to identify the process of territorial development of large cities in Central and Eastern Europe based on the example of Wrocław. The analysis of the administrative boundaries changes; population density and land development revealed specific features of the territorial growth of large cities, which due to their repeatability indicate the cyclical nature of the processes. The specific pattern of territorial development in large cities can be described as follows: each period of socioeconomic development of the city contributes to an increase in population density within urban boundaries, and then to the sprawl of the city into its nearest neighborhood. The suburban area is an extension of the city and over time is incorporated into administrative boundaries of the city. Extension of the city usually reduces the population density within its new boundaries. Each subsequent period of prosperity in the city initiates another cycle of spatial development.

The widespread of Information and Communication Technologies and the consequently redefinition of roles in the usage and management of the city brought along new systems of relationships and interactions that produce an auto-organisation of territories or communities, showed also through temporary transformation of the environment. In effect, cities are continuously redefined by emergent properties that may, both be originated and then impact on social, political, cultural, and economical people practices. On the other hand, through the arrangement of its patterns the city shapes the social and connective relations occurring among people. So, the city can be regarded as a complex system, that in the last years has been expanded by the widespread of communication devices and sensors connected to the Internet. In this context, the design of new patterns of interactions that focuses on the new relationship opportunities, in part offered by the Information and Communication Technologies, but not limited to them, may significantly affect sustainable processes of urban development. This paper focuses on the civic aspect of the so-called smart cities, and, in details, on the relation between citizens and Public Administration. Some existing interaction patterns are illustrated in order to support the visualisation of the dynamic relationships between citizens and Public Administration, while new possible relations derived by the interaction with the urban space are supposed.

In the last decade, Dubai has certainly proved to be one of the most dynamic ‘emerging cities' of all time. Behind record figures, however, the process was fuelled by a very precise territorial development logic. Territory, space and society were conceived from a quite unique perspective, so as to catalyse and sustain the rapid establishment of the city worldwide. ‘Section', ‘thematise' and consequently also ‘segregate', seem to have been the key methods adopted. The purpose of this article is to examine the mechanisms and consequences of this sort of territorial planning, thus aiming at a better understanding of the pitfalls and challenges that this process entails. In particular, the theory put forward for the context examined suggests that the mechanisms generating urban segregation have been completely reversed from a mere ‘ex post' result to a powerful ‘ex-ante' development tool.
