Resumo A ideia central deste trabalho é apresentar as possibilidades para a gestão e o planejamento urbano e regional advindas com as inovações institucionais trazidas pela Constituição de 1988 e pelo Estatuto da Cidade de 2001. Para exemplificar, é utilizado o caso do processo de regionalização, em especial, a criação legal de região metropolitana, tendo como referencial empírico a Região Metropolitana de Campinas-SP. A partir deste caso, é possível identificar os desafios enfrentados na transposição do plano das ideias para o plano da aplicação daquilo que consta nos documentos oficiais. Isto evidencia um descompasso entre a norma e o fato urbano e metropolitano, ampliando os desafios para o estabelecimento de uma governança metropolitana efetiva. Abstract The central idea of this paper is to present the possibilities for the management and urban and regional planning stemming from the institutional innovations introduced by the 1988 Constitution and the 2001 Statute of the City. As an example we use the case of the regionalization process, in particular the legal creation of the metropolitan area, with the empirical reference of the Metropolitan Region of Campinas-SP. From this case it is possible to identify the challenges faced in the implementation plan of the ideas for the transition from the of the ideas to the implementation of the plan of what appears in official documents. This reflects a mismatch between the standard and the urban and metropolitan fact, increasing the challenges for the establishment of an effective metropolitan governance.

The article analyses residential suburbanisation in Prague metropolitan region using data about new housing construction in the period of 1997-2005. Findings show that despite suburban areas account for large share of newly constructed housing, its majority is built within the compact city. Large share of new housing construction in the compact city indicates the vitality and strength of urban alternatives to suburbanisation. In addition, the paper illustrates the strengthening position of Prague metropolitan area within the country and discuses characteristics of new housing construction in the relation to the increasing distance from the city centre.

The Olympic Games

In recent decades, the Olympic Games have become one of the most important mega-events in the world. The large number of cities applying for the Olympics and the increase in mega-event budgets indicate that the leadership of cities and regions perceive the possibility of holding the Olympics as a tool to improve economic and social aspects in cities by accumulating investment. Since its inception, the Olympic Games have closely influenced urbanization processes in host societies. From the second half of the 20th century, a significant evolution can be observed via increasing the scale of the mega-event: from the Olympic mono-stadium to the Olympic quarter, urban and regional planning. Thus, the Olympics began to provide investment not only in sports infrastructure but also in becoming an element of urban and regional renewal and development, introducing changes in transport infrastructure, housing, parks, streets, public space. From the point of view of urban and regional planning, the holding of such a mega-event as the Olympics is considered within the concept of the Olympic heritage; namely, researchers study the material impact of mega-events. The tangible Olympic legacy is divided into sports and non-sports. The sports heritage of mega-events includes sports facilities, as well as training facilities. The non-sporting heritage of the mega-event includes the Olympic Villages (after the mega-event, the Olympic Village usually becomes the city's housing stock), the media center (which has the potential to become a shopping, entertainment, exhibition, or multicenter), renewed transport infrastructure and public and park spaces, urban environment. Especially for cities hosting a mega-event, the benefits of hosting the Olympics can be vast and varied. In the post-Fordism world, cities began to consider the possibility of holding the Olympics as a tool for the revival of the city. Such applications can be called "regeneration games". The Olympic Games can be part of a strategic plan to renovate the city, significantly change the urban environment, improve transport infrastructure, and affect the quality of life in the city. However, the mega-event can have a negative impact on the city, forming an overuse of funds or the implementation of unnecessary infrastructure of the city, which declines after the Olympics.

Today’s distribution of residences and workplaces is a result of availability of cheap oil combined with human preferences for residence in low-density areas. Having reached Peak-Oil nowadays, common motorised mobility is under scrutiny: Not only its massive CO2 output but, most of all, its future scarcity demands urban and regional planning to anticipate the sustainable city of the future. In our work, we have looked at the city of Vienna, in which we have researched patterns of mobility regarding commuters. Our final goal is redensification as a means for transformation of the present state into a walkable city. To make that possible, our analysis provides insights into necessities of mode switching, according to the distances from workplaces. The model which we present is applicable not only to our research area, but to a variety of cities that want to achieve a sustainable settlement structure.

No âmbito da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior – CAPES constatamos uma nova realidade da pós-graduação brasileira na Área de Planejamento Urbano e Regional que se constitui, nos últimos dez anos, através do credenciamento, de programas que (i) se encontram, em sua maioria, fora dos principais centros urbanos do país e (ii) estão voltados para a temática do desenvolvimento regional e da gestão territorial. O presente trabalho procura contribuir para uma reflexão acerca de uma agenda para a formação pós-graduada comprometida social e territorialmente em vista dos desafios que significam as condições atuais que se distinguem, significativamente, daquelas que alimentavam reflexões semelhantes no início do novo milênio as quais serão recuperadas em nossa argumentação, com a proposta de retomada de uma agenda formulada por Ana Clara Torres Ribeiro em 2002.Palavras-chave: Planejamento Urbano e Regional; agenda; pós-graduação; Ana Clara Torres Ribeiro. Abstract: Within the last ten years at the Coordination of Higher Education Personnel Improvement – CAPES – appears a new reality concerning the graduate courses in the area of Urban and Regional Planning through the accreditation of programs that (i) are mostly outside Brazil’s major urban centers, (ii) which are dedicated to regional development and territorial management issues. This paper seeks to contribute to a reflection on an agenda for graduate curses committed socially and territorially in view of the challenges originated by the current conditions which differ significantly from similar reflections at the beginning of the new millennium which will be reviewed within the argument of our essay, in order to get back a brief resumption of an agenda formulated by Ana Clara Torres Ribeiro in 2002.Keywords: Urban and Regional Planning; agenda; graduate; Ana Clara Torres Ribeiro.

The Klang Valley has been experiencing rapid urbanisation especially during the past two decades. The area has expanded to become a larger entity known as the Kuala Lumpur Metropolitan Region (KLMR). But this development comes at the expense of Kuala Lumpur. The city had consistently recorded net-out migration during the period. This development has consequences on the urban fabric of the city and can lead to the problem
