Abstract: Within the context of the Policy of the City and of Urban Social Development of the government of France, the paper discusses public cultural action (government involvement in cultural development), "emerging" cultures in housing projects and neighbourhoods that are supposedly "in trouble" (or, in other words, "sensitive" or "underprivileged"), and conflicts between community-based cultures and republican alternatives. In describing cultural conflict in urban situations, the paper refers to the situation in France. The article closes with a brief overview of certain developments in Europe. R

The Smart City Scheme, as part of the Smart Mauritius initiative, adopted by the Government of Mauritius in 2014, heavily incentivised the emergence of new smart cities in greenfields. The resulting migration of business and residents from existing cities to new cities affected the liveability standard of existing cities and encouraged property speculation. This shift reduced home pricing affordability further from the grasp of young professionals. With the Mauritian Landlord and Tenant Act of 1999 discouraging investment in Mauritian city centres, property developers were additionally encouraged to invest in housing projects in these emerging Smart Cities. As part of the Smart Urban Regeneration strategy of Port Louis that sought to reduce competition between new and existing cities, the provision of housing was seen as paramount to enabling the Smart Cities concept as promoted by the Government. The findings of this paper, which explores the urban footprint of Port Louis through field survey, provides insights, as to the components of the city, that can assist policy-makers and developers to better shape projects that are more responsive to the Smart Urban Regeneration plan.

Generally, activities conducted by people generate waste. The waste which increasingly rises causing a big problem. Therefore, the role of community in waste management will strongly support the process of solving the waste problem in the community. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of engagement and active participation of citizens, as reflected in the attitude of citizens in the activities related to the response to the waste problem in the community. A descriptive method was used in this study to describe the involvement and participation in the prevention of waste. The result showed that the paradigm of PSBM (community-based waste management) appeared sporadically and has not yet received the maximum support from regional governments. A paradigm which is “people pay, the government manages“, has grown within the community for years. It would hardly change people’s behaviour patterns in solving the waste problem in the community since changing the city into a city that is clean, comfortable and healthy involved many parties, including the community.

This chapter demonstrates the Mayor's Committee for Economic and Cultural Development (CECD) that substituted the Chicago Land Clearance Commission's (CLCC) strategy of using government funds to replace razed blighted space with new industrial districts. It examines the methods used by the CECD to modernize the practices that induced industrial firms to invest in city property. It also points out how the CECD was instrumental in shaping how city leaders viewed industrial property through the 1960s and early 1970s. The chapter recounts CECD's work to resituate industrial property as a space for science-led industrial development and the rejuvenation of existing factory areas between 1961 and 1976. It cites how the CECD contributed to the government-led economic development policies that became increasingly common in the United States since the 1970s by forcing the city and industrial institutions to rethink how to promote industrial growth.

AbstractThe handling of Rohingya ethnic refugees who entered the city of Makassar due to persecution in their home countries, Myanmar is very necessary because of the vulnerability experienced by Rohingya ethnic refugees, especially this is an international community agreement through the 1951 Convention on Refugees. This vulnerability can occur in children, women, and vulnerability to refugee status. Determination of refugee status is a full right of UNHCR because Indonesia has not ratified the 1951 Convention so that there is no government involvement in this matter both in terms of regulation and action. The fact is that Makassar City is one of the destinations for Rohingya ethnic refugees who want to improve their destiny. The government has issued Presidential Regulation No. 125 of 2016 concerning handling refugees but not yet adequate. As a result, they do not get residence status so they can enjoy educational, health, legal assistance and other needs because of administrative document problems. Therefore, national regulations are needed for them and the role of non-governmental institutions so that ethnic Rohingya refugees can enjoy the facilities available in Makassar City.Keywords: Rohingya Refugees, Population Status                  Abstrak                Penanganan pengungsi etnis rohingya yang masuk ke Kota Makassar akibat persekusi di negara asalnya yaitu Myanmar sangat diperlukan karena kerentanan yang dialami oleh para pengungsi etnis rohingya apalagi ini merupakan kesepakatan masyarakat internasional melalui Konvensi 1951 tentang Pengungsi. Kerentanan tersebut dapat terjadi pada anak-anak, perempuan, maupun kerentanan status pengungsi. Penetapan status pengungsi menjadi hak penuh dari UNHCR karena Indonesia belum meratifikasi Konvensi 1951 sehingga tidak ada keterlibatan pemerintah dalam hal ini baik dalam hal regulasi maupun aksi. Faktanya Kota Makassar menjadi salah satu tujuan pengungsi etnis rohingya yang ingin memperbaiki nasib. Pemerintah telah mengeluarkan Perpres No. 125 Tahun 2016 tentang penanganan pengungsi tetapi belum memadai. Akibatnya mereka tidak mendapatkan status kependudukan sehingga dapat menikmati fasilitas pendidikan, kesehatan, bantuan hukum dan kebutuhan lainnya karena terbentur masalah dokumen adminstrasi. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan regulasi nasional yang memadai bagi mereka dan peran lembaga-lembaga non pemerintah agar pengungsi etnis rohingya dapat menikmati fasilitas yang ada di Kota Makassar.Kata Kunci: Pengungsi etnis rohingya, Status kependudukan

This article demonstrates how white Christianity in urban South Africa is fated by demographic change. The repeal of apartheid in 1994 enacted some sociocultural changes in urban South Africa. The white population exited the city and town centres, followed by the black South Africans. The historical relationship of the government under the National Party (NP) and the Dutch Reformed Church (DRC) led to latters’ redundancy in the cities. The cultural development towards multiculturalism led to polycentric focus where the suburban peripheries and the city centres experience some form of socio- and cultural-economic developments. Two proposals are made to redress the situation. Firstly, a rethinking was suggested of the theology of the city, which should always demonstrate solidarity with the poor and the marginalised trapped within the decadent city culture. Secondly, a missiological refocus was suggested, which should pursue, embrace and include activities that are not paternalistic.

Community-based  waste  management  is a form  of  waste  management  recommended  by  the government because  it  is  very  effective  in  creating  a  zero-waste  society.  In  Indonesia,  community-based  waste management can be realized through the development of waste banks at the neighbourhoodlevels. In 2019, the City of Semarang has 48 units of active waste banks. Waste that is managed by the wastebank is plastic, paper and metal. However, there is organic waste which is also managed by several wastebanks. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the flow of waste through community-basedwaste management, in this  case of the  waste  bank,  in  the  city  of  Semarang.  The  method  used  is  in-depth  surveys  and  interviews related to the waste bank management system in the city of Semarang. The results showed that the activity of the existing garbagebank was able to reduce waste in the city of Semarang by 0.07% of the total garbage generation  in  the  city  of  Semarang.  This  research  can  be  used  as  a  reference  for  developing  better community-based waste management strategies, especially in Semarang City
