The article presents Birutė Palukaitytė-Kasperavičienė, one of the first urban planners in Lithuania. The article discloses the implemented projects by the urban planner, which received the letters of honor and different awards by the Soviet government. The peculiarities of urban structures created by this author are examined. The works by the urban planner are disclosed in the context of architecture and urban planning trends that prevailed in the Soviet period. A question is raised whether today, when discussions on the Soviet heritage conservation take place, we can identify the author’s work as a valuable feature of urban structure? Pristatoma Birutė Kasperavičienė – viena pirmųjų Lietuvos urbanisčių. Straipsnyje pateikiami įgyvendinti urbanistės projektai, tarybų valdžios įvertinti garbės raštais ir premijomis. Nagrinėjami autorės kurtų urbanistinių struktūrų savitumai. Atskleidžiama urbanistės kūryba tarybiniu laikotarpiu vyravusių architektūros ir miestų planavimo tendencijų kontekste. Keliamas klausimas, ar šiandien, vykstant sovietinio palikimo išsaugojimo diskusijoms, galime identifikuoti autorės kūrybą kaip miesto urbanistinės struktūros vertingąją savybę?

Fiction films have been generous in showing real (and fantastic) scenarios of cities in which a story unfolds. In this way, cities and stories have been related and identified forever by the films that recorded them: Manhattan, in Manhattan; Madrid, in The Day of the Beast; Paris, in Amelie; London, in Notting Hill; Rome, in La Dolce Vita; among others.Vienna remained forever in memory thanks to the unforgettable film by Carol Reed, The Third Man (1949); although a sad Vienna, destroyed by the 2nd World War.In 2015, I visited Vienna for the first time in my life and made the tours marked by the scenes of the film. The same places, the same streets and squares, the same buildings (now restored) by those who once passed those idols of celluloid: Joseph Cotten, Alida Valli, Trevor Howard and Orson Welles.With the spirit of architect-urban planner and restorer, I drew my itineraries and compared them with those of the film, to use the resource "fiction cinema" in my architecture and urban planning classes as a technique to sharpen the student's gaze and deepen their knowledge of architectural and urban space.It was then that I recognized that the magnificent film that the cinema bequeathed us had some traps.This work shows, scene by scene, those inconsistencies found between the journeys made in the film and those that I made, step by step, recording everything graphically and photographically.

Abstract Transit-oriented development (TOD) can invigorate sustainable development by conveying a more coordinated transit and surrounding land use. Given the dynamic nature of urban community development, urban planners find it hard to precisely respond to questions such as where TOD planning around the transit hubs can succeed in the city. The present study proposes a framework utilizing a support vector machine (SVM) to enhance the TODness prediction of an area to address this issue. An SVM model has successfully applied to 16 bus rapid transit station areas in Bhopal city, India, using the tenfold cross-validation resampling methods and thirteen predictor variables. The models performance was in good agreement with 93.75% precision, utilizing the sigmoid kernel function and the regularization parameter esteem equivalent to 4. This methodology could be used at any scale, and the outcomes could offer recommendations for more accurate urban planning, fortifying the relationship between TOD and spatial association. The study provides the basis for predicting better future TODness classification, which will help the urban planner for sustainable urban planning and policy making.

Framework Conditions

Urban strategies and the way cities are planned have changed throughout history, adapting to the needs of the inhabitants, infrastructure requirements, and advances in technology. Uses and customs of people and cities are changing and can evolve much faster than in the past, with the result that urban planning is often too slow to adequately meet the current needs of society. In this context, the development of pop-up environments for temporary developments could be a solution to meet the needs of flexibility, adaptation, and resilience of a city. This allows the urban planner to consider systems from a short-term perspective, fulfilling current needs without compromising the development of potentially different activities in the future. The purpose of this research work is to outline the general requirements of pop-up environments in urban developments that allow for adequate integration into urban planning strategies. Based on an extensive evaluation of the existing literature and a series of case studies, the paper analyzes the key elements that define the framework conditions of urban planning strategies for temporary developments that generate a positive impact on the overall urban system.

The article assesses the significance of innovative ideas of the ancient Greek architect, philosopher and urban planner Hippodamus for the development of modern urban planning. An ecological approach and zoning of urban space in a regular style made it possible to move from spontaneous development to a science-based approach. The "Hippodamus system" in urban planning is an ingrained concept in many theoretical works on the history of architecture and urban planning. In practice, the planning and construction of cities, in the process of their historical development, in certain natural, climatic and socio-economic conditions, there were principles that reflect the great achievements of the ancient Greek civilization. Hippodamus was the author of the regular layout of Greek cities. Subsequently, the hippodamus Planning model was developed in cities in Europe and America. The principles of regular development of ancient Greek cities, developed according to the Hippodamus system, are still used in world urban planning. For the first time in European practice, Hippodamus began to take into account local natural and climatic conditions when building.

The One

Environmental design is a conscious process in which the environment is shaped to meet certain objectives. In manipulating physical attributes of the environment, the environmental designer influences the aesthetic, functional, economic, and social dimensions of the built environment. Designs will either directly or indirectly exert impacts on the spatial and social behavior of individuals. The architect or urban planner may therefore wish to assess the likely effects of design alternatives on human behaviors when addressing the problem of ex ante evaluation of different design options. Traditional designers employed rules of thumb and did not spend much time explicitly analyzing and predicting human behavior. However, especially in the field of urban planning, the development of public demands for higher environmental standards, the ever-increasing complexity of urban planning problems, and the process of democratization have all stimulated application of models for predicting the consequences of design alternatives on human behavior. This tendency has perhaps been most strong in the context of spatial behavior. In the Netherlands, for example, it has become common practice, especially in such problem contexts as transportation, retailing, recreation, public facilities, and housing, to base design decisions in part on analyses of human behavior. The present chapter focuses exclusively on a particular type of decision making and action, namely spatial choice behavior. The extensive research on this type of decision making is not well known to environmental psychologists but there may be a great potential for integrating it with the more traditional research on environmental cognition and assessment. The chapter is organized as follows. First, the problem context is sketched in more depth. A characteristic of research on spatial choice is the development of mathematical-statistical models for predicting choice behavior. The following section outlines a general conceptual framework for the different modeling approaches, which are then briefly explained. A separate section is then devoted to a discussion of the role of the physical environment in spatial choice behavior. The chapter concludes with a discussion of a number of problems research on spatial choice faces. It is contended that the solution to some of these problems may benefit from a broader psychological approach similar to the one taken in environmental psychology.

O presente artigo traça a trajetória profissional da engenheira e urbanista Carmen Portinho e de sua luta pela implementação de um programa de habitação popular na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Diretora do Departamento de Habitação Popular (DHP) da Prefeitura do antigo Distrito Federal entre 1946 e 1960, a urbanista liderou uma equipe de arquitetos, engenheiros e assistentes sociais na idealização e construção de quatro conjuntos residenciais (dentre os quais se destaca o Conjunto Residencial do Pedregulho), seminais para a história da arquitetura e do urbanismo moderno brasileiro. Seu perfil profissional é emblemático das aproximações da disciplina de engenharia do campo do urbanismo e da sua estruturação em propostas para a crise habitacional do Rio de Janeiro. O artigo discute suas referências teóricas, a elaboração do plano de habitação do DHP e conceitos que nortearam a construção e o posterior acompanhamento dos trabalhadores das “unidades residenciais autônomas”.Palavras-chave: Carmen Portinho; habitação popular; modernismo. Abstract: This article aims to discuss the professional experience of the engineer and urban planner Carmen Portinho, as well as her struggle for implementing a social housing program in Rio de Janeiro. Portinho was between 1946 and 1960 Director of the Department of Popular Housing of Rio de Janeiro Town Hall, where she headed a team of architects, engineers and social workers in the idealization and construction of four housing developments (amongst which is the Pedregulho Housing Block), truly important to Brazilian architecture and urban planning. Her professional profile is emblematic of the engineers that have chosen urban planning and also of the attempts to establish social housing developments in Rio de Janeiro. The article discusses her theoretical references, the elaboration of a housing plan for Rio de Janeiro and the concepts that guided it, as well as how the inhabitants interacted in the neighborhood units. Keywords: Carmen Portinho; social housing; modernism.

Intellectual Climate

The prospects of a new century urge us to reconsider the mental legacy of the past century: theories and practices of urban planning that came into existence in a certain intellectual climate and circumstances. The paper is an attempt to reconsider the rhetoric of rationality that manifested in urban design in the second half of the 20th century. Focusing on the legacy of the Greek architect, theorist and urban planner Constantinos A. Doxiadis as well as his relationship with the dominating ideas of his time, the author examines what were the sources of his concepts of entopia and ecumenopolis and in what aspects they are different from cyclical theory of city’s growth, articulated by Lewis Mumford. The contexts in which ideology of progress gained strength resulted in the rise of belief of rational and globalising urban planning, introduced by Doxiadis’ ekistics. It is shown that despite highly rational rhetoric and the use of scientific data, methods and procedures of research in planning the future global city, the final results were rather modest and limited, despite of the fact that the Greek urban planner succeeded in carrying a vast number of projects in several continents: the belief in the concept of progress faded away and attempts to “export” values of Western liberal democracy with the help of urban planning proved to be far less succesful than was initially intended. Santrauka Naujo amžiaus urbanistinės raidos perspektyvos akina įvertinti praėjusiame šimtmetyje klestėjusias urbanistines koncepcijas ir jų įtaką miesto raidai. Graikų architektas, urbanistikos teoretikas ir miestų planuotojas Constantinos A. Doxiadis paliko ryškų pėdsaką urbanistinės minties ir miestų planavimo istorijoje, kuris iki šiol nėra adekvačiai aptartas ir įvertintas. Sukūręs originalų, daugiadiciplinį ekistikos mokslą, jis sukūrė ateities miesto – ekumenopolio projektavimo sistemą, o kartu atliko urbanistinius tyrimus ir rengė projektus daugelyje pasaulio šalių. Analizuojama, kokią įtaką graikų urbanisto idėjų recepcijai padarė jo paties scientistinės ir racionalistinės premisos bei kompleksinių tyrimų metodologija ir kokios buvo jo koncepcijų sąsajos su bendra laikotarpio atmosfera, kurioje stiprėjo pažangos ideologija, racionalizmas, persmelkęs ne tik ekonomiką, bet ir kitas Vakarų visuomenės sferas. Taip pat aiškinamasi, kodėl bandymai globalią urbanistinę plėtrą derinti su Vakarų liberaliosios demokratijos vertybių ekspansija nebuvo itin sėkmingi. Urbanisto projektų likimas Azijos šalyse pademonstravo, kad racionalizmo doktrinomis pagrįstas planavimas nėra pajėgus pakeisti vietos bendruomenių gyvensenos ir mentaliteto. Parodoma, kad kartu su nesėkmėmis „eksportuojant“ vakarietiškas urbanistines schemas pasikeitė požiūris į realias architektūros bei planavimo galias, su kuriomis XX amžiaus modernistai siejo ypatingas viltis.
