Este artículo muestra algunos resultados de mi tesis doctoral, cuya fuente documental es la contenida en el Proyecto La ciudad viva (LCV), iniciado en 2008 por la Junta de Andalucía con el propósito de revisar las disfunciones de la ciudad contemporánea y aportar soluciones, logrando ser el canal de reflexión y participación más utilizado en nuestro país y en el ámbito urbanístico durante años.La hipótesis defiende que las múltiples voces y perspectivas contenidas en LCV, descubren nuevas lógicas urbanas que necesitamos explorar si queremos un futuro diferente. Para lo cual, y tras analizar y relacionar los contenidos (generados en la última década por corresponsales repartidos por el todo el mundo), se identifican una serie de ZONAS que, mediante una serie de RELATOS literarios, hacen referencia a sus numerosas fuentes multidisciplinares, y son:Zona 1. Generación rotonda. La crisis de la habitabilidad contemporánea.Zona 2. Flânerie es femenino. Caminar por la ciudad con perspectiva de género.Zona 3. Periferias. La intervención pública en los barrios europeos de vivienda social.Zona 4. Derecho a techo. Alternativas habitacionales.Los relatos, que observan y analizan “la ciudad heredada”, terminan en “itinerarios hacia un urbanismo emergente” que localizan propuestas con nuevos instrumentos para “la ciudad por hacer”. Abstract: This article shows some results of my doctoral thesis. The documentary source is included in the "The living city" Project (TLC), started in 2008 by the Andalusian Government to revise the dysfunctions of the contemporary city and provide solutions. It became the most used rethinking and participation channel in our country and in the urban environment for years.The hypothesis advocates that the multiple voices and perspectives included in TLC discover new urban logics that we need to explore if we desire a different future. To achieve that goal and after analyzing and linking the contents (many articles and posts generated during the last decade by different people from all over the world), several AREAS are being identified and, through several literary STORIES, they refer to many multidisciplinar sources. These areas are: Area 1. Roundabout generation, the crisis of contemporary habitability.Area 2. Flânerie is feminine, a pedestrian city with a gender perspective.Area 3. Peripheries, the public intervention in European social housing neighborhoods.Area 4. Right to housing; housing alternatives.Stories, that observe and analyze "the inherited city", end up in “itineraries "towards an emerging urban planning", that locate through diagrams and proposals, new tools and applications for "the to be done city".

Urban planning in Libya in general effectively contributed to preparation of comprehensive and the public plans for all Libyan cities. especially after the issuance of Law No. (5) of 1969, concerning the planning of cities and villages, three key schemes have been developed in three stages starting from the first phase for years 1968 to 1988, and the second stage years from 1988 to 2000, and the third stage years 2000 to 2025. Goal of such schemes is to make a balance between the natural increase of population and urban mass, in order to achieve urban development and environment and preserve of the environment and urban environment from degradation and the spread of degraded areas in Libyan cities. But a number of problems disrupted the planning, and have had effects on the urban development in Libya.

This paper aims to review the various forms of state intervention in urban planning, and its purpose is to reconsider guidelines for solving problems in cities, caused by climate change.After World War II, urban planning was guided by centralized state management, in the scope of progress and social justice. State intervention was recognized as an instrument for creating new models of the city spatial organization. However, because of the new market conditions arising, the policies about Urban Development came in the focus again, in order to control global influences, mainly climate change (the costs of construction, environmental pollution and hazards). It is therefore necessary to return again to the public intervention in urban planning. This will not be easy, because it has to be consistent with democratic freedoms; some of them should be strengthened, and some limited to ameliorate the effects of climate change.In conclusion, the set of general guidelines is expected, in order to translate the policy measures for climate change mitigation, into the instruments urban development is controlled by. Therefore, the changes in defining of building codes are expected, as well as the standards for energy conservation and land-use control (zoning, taxes and urban regulations, etc.).

The epilogue traces the afterlife of the Capitoline Hill’s late antique history, the unresolved tension between the valuation and devaluation of the Capitol’s multiplying and variegated histories into the Middle Ages. The Capitol was a physical space that structured the lives and urban environment of postclassical Rome, and it was an imaginary location that animated an affective engagement with the hill’s traditions as well as Christian polemics against the materiality of pagan cults. It became one of the Seven Wonders of the World, a notable stop for sightseeing tours, and the location of an incredible collection of statues called the Salvatio Civium. In the Middle Ages, the Capitoline Hill became even more mystically charged than it had ever been in its long history. What ended the hill’s ancient legacy was not the so-called Dark Ages but Fascist urban planning and modern assertions of the value of heritage.

Information And Communication

Planners and planning departments are increasingly losing their importance within contemporary public administration, as exaggerated reliance on technical and design practices continue to fragment the public treatment of space. Koolhaas and Mau (1995) argue that planners and, in fact, urbanism are outdated, and that both failed to keep pace with the rapid modernization of urban space. Many studies show that ‘proactive’ planning initiatives related to information and communication technologies tend to appeal to the ill-grounded utopianism of technological deterministic approaches. This chapter aims to explain what has been changing in the world of spatial and urban studies as a response to new patterns of communication supported by information and communication technologies, as well as to shed some light on the challenges posed to planning and governance. This will be done together with the observation of real case scenarios in medium and well-developed cities in Brazil.

All over the world, more and more professionals are aware of the urgent need to invest in a healthy and ecological built environment. This landmark shift can occur through the introduction of the principles of salutogenic design, according to which the constructed buildings should be a place that contributes to the saving and improving health, a sense of well-being. The amazing results of the influence of the built environment on health are obtained, which brings the concept of salutogenic design to the fore of the global opportunities of urban planning in providing the health of the population. Salutogenic design and architecture can take its worthy place in the forefront of preventive strategies that have the potential to reduce (decrease) the burden of noncommunicable diseases and change our lives for the better. The review considers the principles and approaches to planning urbanized built environment of the future from the perspective of salutogenic design with one simple goal: to create a healthy society. The solution of this problem requires an interdisciplinary and interagency approach, joint efforts of a number of specialists: architects, medical experts, psychologists, sociologists, designers, engineers, planners. Only a comprehensive approach will make it possible to organize the urban environment in such a way that it allows to preserve health, ecology and would be beneficial from an economic point of view.

Growth of population affects the increase in demand for development of new areas. The article discusses current problems and trends in the development of vertical cities of the future. The last decade has seen the consolidation of the urban environment and the transition of urban planning from horizontal to vertical. The structure of future vertical cities minimizes land use and contributes to solving environmental problems and de-urbanization. The authors analyze the origin of «utopia» word and its meaning in the concepts of utopian cities since ancient times. The formation of a comfortable vertical city is a utopia aimed at turning it into the reality of the future. A general analysis of space-planning and architectural solutions of modern concepts helped to formulate the basic principles of creating a vertical city. The identified criteria of the architectural space will allow humanity to live in a comfortable environment, including the period of forced critical conditions. During the research, we presented a hypothesis of the emergence of vertical cities in the world and in Russia. The study can become the basis for forecasting the processes of urbanization and deurbanization, also as a concept creation for the development of a sustainable model of the future vertical city.

[222 pp, RRP: £18.75, ISBN: 978-1-910781-22-7]The idea of discovering or creating a form of uniqueness to differentiate a place from others is clearly attractive. In this regard, and in line with Ashworth (2009), three urban planning instruments are widely used throughout the world as a means of boosting a city’s image: (i) personality association - where places associate themselves with a named individual from history, literature, the arts, politics, entertainment, sport or even mythology; (ii) the visual qualities of buildings and urban design, which include flagship building, signature urban design and even signature districts and (iii) event hallmarking - where places organize events, usually cultural (e.g., European Capital of Culture, henceforth referred to as ECoC) or sporting (e.g., the Olympic Games), in order to obtain worldwide recognition. 

“All in a Garden Green”: Shakespeare's Staging of Garden Imagery

This essay draws attention to the surprising lack of scholarship on the staging of garden scenes in Shakespeare's oeuvre. In particular, it explores how garden scenes promote collaborative acts of audience agency and present new renditions of the familiar early modern contrast between the public and the private. Too often the mention of Shakespeare's gardens calls to mind literal rather than literary interpretations: the work of garden enthusiasts like Henry Ellacombe, Eleanour Sinclair Rohde, and Caroline Spurgeon, who present their copious gatherings of plant and flower references as proof that Shakespeare was a garden lover, or the many “Shakespeare Gardens” around the world, bringing to life such lists of plant references. This essay instead seeks to locate Shakespeare's garden imagery within a literary tradition more complex than these literalizations of Shakespeare's “flowers” would suggest. To stage a garden during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries signified much more than a personal affinity for the green world; it served as a way of engaging time-honored literary comparisons between poetic forms, methods of audience interaction, and types of media. Through its metaphoric evocation of the commonplace tradition, in which flowers double as textual cuttings to be picked, revised, judged, and displayed, the staged garden offered a way to dramatize the tensions produced by creative practices involving collaborative composition and audience agency.
