The Impact

With the shift in global economic, social, demographic, and information technology, the emergence of metropolitan areas not only penetrated the border relations between countries, changed the interaction between central and local governments, restructured the size and style of urban spaces, but also caused a huge transformation in local infrastructures and community structures. The local governments hence have to face challenges in their management in regards to the arising changes and needs. This type of urban formation and development is not only a trend in countries around the globe; it is also an area the Taiwanese governments are actively involved in. With the impact of urbanization, the size of highly functional cities has surpassed core city administrative regions; therefore, this has generated various planning, administrative and policy issues. This study examines the PPPs views on urban development; the research methodology will be designed to focus on qualitative research, firstly undergoing document analysis, studying the progress of sustainable urban development and various issues arising during the development process in Taipei, Taiwan. Secondly, case analysis will be implemented to study the characteristics, current situation and problems in sustainable urban development in Taiwan. With two combined, a concrete and feasible study on sustainable urban development can be integrated and accomplished.

Metro areas relying on automobile-based transport are increasingly congested. Some alternatives to gridlock are being implemented; others languish without political acceptance. Congestion is more than a suburban issue. Both intersuburban and radial travel woes are growing and must be addressed. Agencies should start with bus improvements, then add rail where appropriate. Experience shows that, unlike purely radial systems, transit networks with many transfer opportunities offer options to users in more travel markets and, as a result, attract more riders. In the United States, rail is often viewed as serving just the central business district (CBD) and being incapable of accommodating suburban trips. In fact, radial rail lines can provide attractive options for trips to new centers near suburban rail stations, in addition to CBD trips. Rail systems become regional connections, linked via timed transfers at transit centers with bus and paratransit feeders and circulators. Clock headways and integrated fares complete a seamless multimodal, multidestinational system serving the CBD as well as emerging regional centers. Such systems work best as part of a comprehensive program for sustainable urban development, consciously planned by committed, far-sighted political leaders who build public consensus to implement a regional vision for community patterns that encourage a rich variety of lifestyle and mobility choices. Key to effecting such transport systems are ( a) competent transit management that seeks out and serves a variety of niche markets, and ( b) coordinated transportation and land use decision making that values transit links to major destinations and compact communities.

Transit-oriented development (TOD) pursues sustainable urban development through compact growth, mixed-use zoning, and pedestrian-friendly neighborhood design in cooperation with transportation planning. Seoul has actively developed urban rail transit since the 1970s based on a TOD concept, and each station’s areas have differently evolved throughout the history of urbanization in Seoul. In response to investigating the complications of current TOD, this paper evaluates TOD characteristics through accessibility and clustering analysis methods and categorizes TOD types using the targeted 246 subway station areas at the neighborhood level. As a result, subway TODs are grouped into the four distinct categories of (1) high-density: a form of mainly mixed-use with residential and retail development and good accessibility; (2) moderate-density: average accessibility and high-mixed use; (3) compact business district setting: highly accessible to offices and retail; and (4) compact housing: high-rise apartments with schools and retail. The results also find that Cluster 2 is the most common TOD type and redevelopment possibility in Seoul, with relatively lower ranks in the building floor area (GFA) and diversity in comparison to other TOD contexts. Cluster 3 has the most significant transit demand, generating an active transit environment in Seoul. Different urban development periods impact the characteristics of TOD types.

In the provision of urban residential areas, private land developers play critical roles in nearly all stages of the land development process. Despite their important role little is known about how the spatial decisions of individual developers collectively influence urban growth. This paper employs an agent-based modelling approach to capture the spatial decisions of private land developers in shaping new urban forms. By drawing on microeconomic theory, the model simulates urban growth in the Jakarta Metropolitan Area, Indonesia, under different scenarios that reflect the decision behaviours of different types of developers. Results reveal that larger developers favour sites that are more proximate to the city centre whilst smaller developers prefer sites that are located further away from the city, that drive a more sprawled urban form. Our findings show that new urban areas are generated by different developers through different processes. The profit maximisation behaviour by developers with large capital reserves is more predictable than those with small capital funds. The imbalance in capital holdings by different types of developers interacts with one another to exert adverse impacts on the urban development process. Our study provides supporting evidence highlighting the need for urban policy to regulate urban expansion and achieve more sustainable urban development outcomes in a developing world context.

This paper presents an original attempt to bring forward extended perspectives about the City Classification System (CCS) in Vietnam. For many years, the CCS has played a central role the development of Vietnam national urban system as well as a motivating guideline for individual cities. However, (1) aspects of sustainable urban development are underrepresented among the CCS indicators and (2) the CCS remains a top-down, rigid policy which takes away much of the local development context and their developmental challenges. It is argued that Vietnam CCS needs adjusting to better reflect the multi-dimensional nature of urban development process (especially sustainability) and to better comprehend people-oriented, local development.

This article reflects the use of urban space by women in urban informal sectors in the city of Guwahati located in North East India. The population influx from across the borders in the aftermath of the partition has huge implications both on polity and on economy of the northeastern states in general and Assam in particular.  Importantly, the urban informal sectors have a sizeable share in terms of its significant contributions towards Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as well as generation of employment opportunities largely. Using a feminist perspective, the research is an attempt to investigate the engagement of women in the informal sector in greater Guwahati. Research findings reveal that the occupations of the women workers are location-specific, that is, the manufacturing sectors (textiles, food preparation, printing and skilled service) are mainly home/shop based production (fixed locations) whereas the service sectors (leisure, caring, elementary construction, elementary sales and cleaning occupation) operate at variable locations (construction sites, street pavements, marketplaces and other various locations). Further analysis shows that the informal sector is highly demand dependent and such demands are in the central business areas of the city, therefore informal sector services (skilled services and elementary services) are found to be located in and around the central areas of Guwahati city. Women operators in the informal sector are attracted to the central business district because of the many advantages that it enjoys relative to other parts of a city. The paper concludes by calling on policy makers and physical planning agencies to evolve more pragmatic strategies for urban development matters in order that urban informal sector activities can be integrated into urban development plans. Finally, further research is called for on how urban planners could redesign the urban space with appropriate consideration of the informal sector operators.

Este artigo analisa o processo de produção do mais novo centro de negócios de Salvador - a centralidade da área do Iguatemi. Valendo-se de uma discussão teórica sobre a renda da terra, este trabalho utiliza categorias de análise que possibilitam desvendar o processo de valorização de trechos do solo urbano nessa cidade. Partindo da interpretação de dados oriundos de projetos de planejamento municipal, estatísticas, legislação de uso do solo, notícias da imprensa, este trabalho mostra que essa centralidade surgiu como resultado de um sistema integrado de ações de diferentes agentes governamentais e privados nos últimos 40 anos. O artigo revela que por trás de discursos oficiais de desenvolvimento urbano e de políticas governamentais de planejamento, desenvolveram-se agendas e práticas de um planejamento urbano invisível, que alocou recursos e materializou trabalho numa porção .solo virgem. da cidade do Salvador. Este processo resultou na elevação do valor da renda fundiária dessa área, o que atendeu a interesses privados. Este estudo configura-se num esforço de tornar o invisível visível e fornece algumas bases para o uso de novos e alternativos modelos de interpretação da produção do espaço urbano. Abstract This article analyzes the process of production of the Salvador¥s newest central business district - the Iguatemi Area. Using the Land Income Theory, this paper applies its analytical tools to reveal the process of increasing of land income on this part of the city. Based on the data from municipal planning projects, statistics, land use legislation and press coverage, the paper show s that this new center is a result of an integrated system of different governmental and private agencies actions in the last 40 years. The article reveals that behind urban development official discusses and governmental planning policies, one agenda and practices of invisible urban planning were developed, seeking to allocate resources and work in ìa virgin landî of the city of Salvador. This process resulted in the increasing of the land price, what fulfill real states¥ interests. This study is an effort of turning the invisible visible and an attempt to present new and alternative models to analyses the production of the urban space.
