Abstract The changing concept of sustainable development is changing the practice of designing sustainable urban forms. The article presents a variety of concepts of a sustainable urban form and their ambiguous assessment – the model of a compact city, if applied in all cases, can cost the quality of one’s environment and the quality of life. New bottom-up trends are emerging in theory and in practice of the 21st century, which focus on the urban planning process which is more inclusive in terms of society. The article discusses examples of the creation of a sustainable urban narrative for the development of a relationship with the community.

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.

This chapter will delve on modern approaches to city making (eco-cities, sustainable cities, resilient cities, etc.) explaining their basics and complexity. Additionally, the demands that changing solutions place on the architects, urban planners, and other city designers will be explained. The scope should be treated as the introduction to the circular economy approach; it will also cover other development attitudes where a city was not the initial prime element even if urban planning became one of the main issues during later phases of development. Such attitudes can be traced in the mid-20th century policy making with the car transport being the leading development attitude but having a wide impact on the solutions used in most cities. It will also explain when the urbanization process became part of this economic approach. The chapter will include principles of the modern initiatives in various parts of the world and consider existing movements allowing for a more sweeping coverage.

Few subjects have excited the imagination of archaeologists working in ancient complex societies as have monumentality and urban planning. Yet the two topics are rarely explicitly theorized in a sustained integrated investigation within a single study, despite the fact that monumental architecture is often considered a primary basis for identifying the presence of urban planning. This article makes the related methodological arguments that both phenomena benefit from a more full consideration of one another, and that the meaningful aspect of monumentality and urban symbology needs to be considered in conjunction with the formal aspect of monuments and urban layouts. These positions are then implemented in a study of the Syro-Anatolian city-state system that existed in the ancient Near East during the early first millennium bc. The capital cities of these polities were characterized by a program of monumentality that brought royalty, city walls, gates and monumental sculpture into an unmistakable constellation of associations. The consistency of this pattern of monumentality and urban form suggests that at least a degree of urban planning existed.

A alteração do regime hidrológico é inerente ao processo de urbanização. Destaca-se nessa relação, como desafio imposto ao planejamento urbano, as áreas de recarga dos aquíferos devido sua sobreposição com as áreas urbanizadas e o papel estratégico desses nos cenários de escassez hídrica. Entretanto, não é corrente o uso de técnicas e normas urbanísticas voltadas para a menor perturbação ou manutenção da infiltração natural nas cidades. No sentido de contribuir para essa discussão, a pesquisa visa ordenar diferentes aspectos relacionados à forma urbana e à infiltração contribuindo para um referencial metodológico, que torne mais operacional o discurso das cidades sensíveis à água, reduzindo as incertezas e as complexidades de sua implementação. Como base teórica, revisitaram-se os conceitos e estabeleceram-se as conexões entre as características do meio físico, que são determinantes para definir áreas a serem urbanizadas, e a identificação de áreas de recarga de aquíferos, seguido de uma revisão das associações entre: (i) os fatores que levam à perda de infiltração natural; (ii) as diretrizes de urbanização sensível a água; e (iii) os elementos configuracionais da forma urbana. Com esses resultados, um quadro referencial é estruturado para auxiliar a ligação entre a forma urbana e o impacto hidrológico, e para analisar as tipologias de ocupação urbana e seus impactos sobre infiltração natural em uma unidade hidrográfica no Distrito Federal de Brasília, Brasil.Abstract:The alteration of the hydrological regime is inherent of the urbanization process. In this relationship, as a challenge imposed on urban planning, the areas of aquifer recharge stand out due to their overlap with urbanized areas and their strategic role in water scarcity scenarios. However, the use of urban planning techniques and norms aimed at less disturbance or maintenance of natural infiltration in cities is not common. In order to contribute to this discussion, the research aims to organize different aspects related to urban form and infiltration, contributing to a methodological framework, which makes the discourse of cities sensitive to water more operational, reducing the uncertainties and complexities of its implementation. As a theoretical basis, the concepts were revisited and connections were established between the characteristics of the physical environment, which are decisive for defining areas to be urbanized, and the identification of aquifer recharge areas, followed by a review of the associations between: (i) the factors that lead to the loss of natural infiltration; (ii) the water-sensitive urbanization guidelines; and (iii) the configurational elements of the urban form. With these results, a reference framework is structured to help the connection between the urban form and the hydrological impact, and to analyze the types of urban occupation and their impacts on natural infiltration in a hydrographic unit in the Federal District of Brasília, Brazil.Resumen:Cambiar el régimen hidrológico es inherente al proceso de urbanización.
