The concept of participation in sustainable urban development practices is actually more and more popular in Europe and all over the world. In parallel, there is a rapid growth of urban design and planning projects including local communities in urban development planning activities. According to such concepts, this chapter, starting from the description of the results of field and desk researches carried out by ‘La Sapienza' University of Rome and related to communities involvement strategies currently available in Europe, describes and analyses a case study based on a concrete application of theoretical and methodological approaches, and two more cases of possible application of an integrated methodology. All the projects described concern the city of Rome.

Abstract. With the rapid urbanization and development in China, reconstruction and construction for the comprehensive transportation hub of the railway station area is underway in most city. The paper used the conceptual reform design of Changchun railway station north area as example, to describe that how to improve integral image and environmental quality by urban design integrating strategy. The purpose is to maximize the function of the transport hub area and to reach reasonable evacuation traffic flow, thus create a transit-oriented composite development project with dynamic and sustainable by function and space integration.

Over Time

In the 1950s, the city of Casablanca underwent a surge in demographic growth. Having become a strategic port during the French protectorate, it quickly had to accommodate more than 140,000 new arrivals from the countryside. The most extensive urban development project in the city was Carrières Centrales, introduced as a case study in the CIAM IX by the GAMMA team. Michel Écochard, Candilis and Woods reinterpreted the traditional Moroccan house in a compact horizontal fabric as well as in singular buildings. This became the typology not only for a house, but for the whole city. A revisit to Carrières Centrales 65 years after its construction provides an understanding of the metamorphosis that the urban fabric has undergone over time. The critical analysis in this research aims to uncover the main architectural and social parameters that have influenced its transformation. To achieve this goal, fieldwork was carried out during a research trip in October 2018. The work involved contacting local professors, accessing the archives of the University of Casablanca, interviewing the residents, and redrawing and graphing all the architectural elements that had changed since their construction. The urban fabric of Carrières Centrales was found to have evolved in a way that supports the following hypothesis: if an urban model imported into a developing country does not adapt to the changes in the life of its residents, it is considered a failure.

This paper will attempt to highlight the land reclamation as an instrument of urban planning. To achieve this goal, Dubai will be considered as a case study and, specially, Reima and Raili Pietilä’s proposal for the Deira Sea Corniche Competition as a visionary proposal which anticipated the creation of artificial islands in the city. Describing the history of the Dubai’s coastline and analyzing the Pietiläs’ project for its innovative and -at the same time- contextual ideas, the paper will not only offer a new way to approach urban design in Dubai but also to consider the value of land reclamation as a tool for urban development -with its strengths and weaknesses- in order to avoid land consumption and to allow the preservation of most part of the coastline.

This paper deals with the risk of the spread of infec5ous diseases through space, looking at how COVID-19 is becoming a concern in planning. To this end, it employs as a case study the urban development project “The Great Walk” by the Municipality of Athens, Greece. By doing so, it evidences the link between the response to COVID-19 and climate change at the local level in the EU.

Given the inherent ecological damage associated with post-industrial sites, their remediation offers an opportunity to apply the concept of symbiotic urbanism, a type of urban development that not only prevents ecological degradation, but also restores the natural environment while concurrently benefitting adjacent communities and economies, to their rehabilitation. Analogous to symbiotic urbanism, definitions of regenerative urban development and regenerative cities capture the notion of urban development that goes beyond preventing environmental damage to also encompass the replenishment of natural resources, but few case studies of how the entirety of the idea can be implemented exist. In contrast to commonly referenced examples of regenerative urban development this paper will discuss an application of symbiotic urbanism that offers a proposal for the comprehensive rehabilitation of a post-industrial site. The proposal uses the site’s industrial legacy as inspiration for entering a new era of production that engages in the research and development of innovative technologies that simultaneously remediate existing environmental degradation while stimulating new economies and opportunities and reconnecting communities to long-abandoned places.
