Locating modernity’s unfinished project in the historical matrix of Iran, Louis Kahn’s Silent Space of Critique in Tehran, 1973–74 examines Louis Kahn’s master plan for a new civic center in Tehran. The 1970s witnessed a period of contention between political and cultural visions of modernity in Iran: as the shah’s state fabricated progress through a series of development plans, the queen’s reformist second court sponsored cultural and preservationist projects. This strife over modernity in Iran was reflected in Kahn’s design as form, space, and program. Shima Mohajeri shows that Kahn’s layout for a modern public space in Tehran concerned the development of an ethical attitude toward architectural modernity in a non-Western context as well as constituted a silent resistance to Iran’s sociopolitical reality and its spaces of representation.

Back lanes are ubiquitously found in every city as they are a required component according to the by-laws. The intention of back lane is to serve as a service road and consequently society tends to neglect and had led to a forgotten public space due to its lack of maintenance. Thus, this has discouraged the pedestrian movement as it is unsafe because the laneway is mainly hidden from public eye. Therefore, it became a space for undesirable activities to be taken place especially for hoodlums. In line with the Kuala Lumpur Tourism Master Plan 2015-2025, that gives emphasise to revitalise forgotten spaces, this research looks into the issues of back lanes in Petaling Street with the aims to unlock its potentials. The study adopted a qualitative approach through 2 phases. The first phase is through literature review to study and understand its historical background follows by site observation through photographs and recording of the site existing conditions. The second phase is through interviews with urban planning experts and business owners to discuss the historical value, issues and parameters to revitalize the back lane. The outcome of the research divulges that revitalization of back lane and shifting the front façade to the back lane or adapting to a double façade are able to greet the public with new urban social spaces and that tenants are able to utilize and give it a new meaning.

The topic of the article are the complex stages of the formation of the Bon Pastor neighbourhood in Barcelona, and contemporary efforts to create the remembrance space system that would preserve the social memory and historical identity of the place. The author presents how the urban development plans for the district were transformed as a result of major changes in national politics, economy, and social policy, since the 1930s, through 60s and 70s, till today. The article describes the Bon Pastor Civic Memory project as an interesting example of a participatory action aimed at the preservation of local heritage. The implementation of the Civic Memory project was possible due to the neighbours’ initiative and their cooperation with cultural and academic institutions. The aim of this project is to mark certain points of the territory which possess historically and socially significant value, and to enhance them through public art, urban design and other implementations envisaged. The Association of residents of Bon Pastor (Barcelona) has been characterized, since 1974, for its combative and vindictive nature, at the same time as for its great capacity to launch solidarity initiatives and manage complicated processes to improve the living conditions of residents of the neighbourhood. After the struggles to obtain a health centre, the improvement of communications by metro and bus, and the constant improvement of public space, in recent years, the Association is co-managing with the Barcelona City Council, the radical transformation of the neighbourhood. The different phases for the remodelling of the neighbourhood, by replacing the so-called “cheap houses” with new buildings, with more spacious apartments and with better material conditions, is coming to an end and now, the possibility opens up, driven by the neighbours and the Museum of the History of the City (MUHBA) to have a metropolitan museographic space devoted to the presentation and study of the evolution of workers’ and popular housing in Barcelona.

ResumoEsta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar os planos diretores elaborados e implementados no município de Belém, Estado do Pará, com ênfase nos períodos pós-constituinte (1988), passando pelo Estatuto da Cidade (2001) e Estatuto da Metrópole (2015), para verificar se estes instrumentos públicos foram realmente utilizados pela administração pública como instrumento de gestão e planejamento ou se apenas corresponderam ao atendimento de formalidade legal, com o fim de abster-se de crime de responsabilidade na gestão pública. A pesquisa foi realizada utilizando como método, a pesquisa bibliográfica e análise documental, abrangendo a elaboração dos dois Planos Diretores do Município de Belém, aprovado sem 1993 e em 2008, destacando um recorte de três mandatos eletivos distintos. Posteriormente, realiza-se uma análise comparativa do Plano Diretor e Plano Plurianual (PPA), com a Lei de Diretrizes Orçamentárias (LDO) e a Lei do Orçamento Anual (LOA), sob a ótica da execução orçamentária no município de Belém e sua aplicabilidade nas Ações Programáticas de cada governo, abordando os aspectos do saneamento ambiental, mobilidade e acessibilidade do transporte público e habitação social urbana. Conclui-se que os Planos Diretores e os demais instrumentos públicos PPA, LDO e LOA, não guardam sintonia entre si e comprometem a sustentabilidade da gestão pública, apresentando-se desconectados frente aos Programas e Planos municipais elaborados e suas reais execuções, frente às suas disponibilidades orçamentárias. AbstractThis research aims to analyze the master plans developed and implemented in the municipality of Belém, State of Pará, with an emphasis on the post-constituent periods (1988), including the City Statute (2001) and the Metropolis Statute (2015), to verify whether these public instruments were used by the public administration as an instrument of management and planning or if they are mere legal formalities, in order to abstain from a crime of responsibility in public management. The research was carried out using bibliographic research and documentary analysis as a method, covering the elaboration of the two Urban Development Plans carried out by the Municipality of Belém in 1993 and in 2008, highlighting a section of three distinct elective mandates. Subsequently, a comparative analysis of the Master Plan and Pluriannual Plan (PPA) is performed, with the Budget Guidelines Law (LDO) and the Annual Budget Law (LOA), analyzing them from the perspective of budget execution in the municipality of Belém and its applicability in the Programmatic Actions of each government, addressing aspects of environmental sanitation, mobility and accessibility of public transport and urban social housing. It is concluded that the Master Plans and the other public instruments PPA, LDO and LOA, are not in tune with each other and compromise the sustainability of public management, presenting themselves disconnected from the Municipal Programs and Plans elaborated and their real executions, facing their budgetary availability.

Upon gaining independence from the British colonial occupation in 1957, Malaysia believes that education is instrumental to the development of the nation’s economy. Thus, educational development in Malaysia is based upon increasing access to education, increasing equity in education, increasing quality in education and improving efficiency and effectiveness of education management. Secondly, the development of education in Malaysia reflects the multifaceted role it assumes in creating a progressive and united Malaysian society towards enhancing the quality of the lives of our children and generations to come. Hence, no one should be excluded from the mainstream of development. At the same time, the mindsets, cultures and values which the people and social institutions are imbued with need to be strengthened in line with the nation’s aspirations to progress in its own mould. In implementing these goals, the MOE (Ministry of Education) has formulated the Education Development Master Plan (EDMP) 2006-2010 as a comprehensive and integrated master plan for education development under 9thMalaysia Plan (9MP). EDMPwas developed in line with the national development plans and policies by taking into account the Third Outline Perspective Plan, Five Year Malaysia Plans, the framework laid out in the National Mission, the National Integrity Plan and others including national education development plans and policies. The plan is aimed at «Pioneering Change: ANational Mission» and put forward the policies the policies, goals, strategies, priorities, actions plans, key performance indicators, time-lines and budget for education development.
