The regeneration of brownfields has recently gained prominence due to greenfield land restrictions as well as their potential to promote the urban renaissance. On the examples of Kings Waterfront in Liverpool and Rheinauhafen in Cologne the paper aims to evaluate how brownfield regeneration practice compares, given that local, national and European bodies have invested significant amounts of time and expenditure to the revitalisation of sites. The literature review provides a background to the issues which need to be overcome for developments such as Liverpool's Kings Waterfront and Cologne's Rheinauhafen to become a success. In order to determine the state of current brownfield practice in Liverpool and Cologne, we explore the public opinion and information from specialists in the field. The study shows that, if exploited correctly, brownfield sites can provide a catalyst for economic growth in the inner city areas where they once have been deprived. Finally, studied cities were found to contain many examples of best practice with regards to brownfield sites situated on rivers. These successful schemes could be used to reignite the regeneration of other world cities. Santrauka Pastaruoju metu naudotų teritorijų atgaivinimas įgavo svarbą dėl nenaudotų teritorijų žemės apribojimų ir siekiant paskatinti miestų atgimimą. Remiantis Kings Waterfront Liverpulyje ir Rheinauhafen Kelne pavyzdžiais, straipsnyje siekiama palyginti naudotų teritorijų atgaivinimo praktikas, įvertinant tai, kad vietinės, nacionalinės ir Europos Sąjungos atsakingos organizacijos investavo daug laiko ir pinigų į šių vietų atgaivinimą. Literatūros apžvalga suteikia informacijos apie problemas, kurias reikia išspręsti, kad vystymas Liverpulio Kings Waterfront ir Kelno Rheinauhafen būtų sėkmingas. Siekiant nustatyti šiuo metu susiklosčiusią situaciją Liverpulyje ir Kelne, ištirta visuomenės nuomonė ir informacija, gauta iš šios srities specialistų. Tyrimas rodo, kad jeigu teritorija naudota efektyviai, jos atgaivinimas gali paskatinti ekonominį augimą vidinio miesto rajonuose, ypač tuose, kurie anksčiau buvo nuskurdę. Straipsnyje pateikta pavyzdžių, kaip galima išvystyti naudotas teritorijas prie upių. Šių sėkmingų projektų pavyzdžiai gali būti taikomi kitų pasaulio miestų atgaivinimui skatinti. Резюме В последнее время регенерация ранее использовавшихся территорий приобретает особое значение в связи с введением ограничений на неиспользовавшиеся ранее земельные территории и с целью способствовать возрождению городов. На примере Kings Waterfront в Ливерпуле и Rheinauhafen в Кельне в статье сравнивается практика регенерации ранее использовавшихся территорий с учетом больших средств, инвестированных на эти цели местныминациональными организациями и ответственными организациями Европейского Союза. Обзор литературы поданному вопросу позволил собрать информацию о проблемах, решение которых позволит надеяться на то, чтодальнейшее развитие Kings Waterfront в Ливерпуле и Rheinauhafen в Кельне будет успешным. С целью выявитьситуацию, сложившуюся в настоящее время в Ливерпуле и Кельне, специалисты изучили общественное мнение иинформацию, полученную из этих областей. Исследование показало, что эффективное использование выделенных средств может способствовать экономическому развитию районов города, особенно обнищавших. В качествепримера успешного развития ранее использовавшихся территорий в статье представлены территории, находящиеся вблизи рек. Примеры этих удачных проектов могут способствовать возрождению других городов мира.

The recent waves of immigration have dramatically impacted urban landscapes and economies of Canada’s largest metropolitan regions. One notable phenomenon is the rise of ethnic retail strips and centers as physical markers of increasing multiculturalism. The dynamics of ethnic retailing pose various opportunities and challenges for municipalities; yet, our knowledge of its complexities is limited and current literature on multicultural planning offers little useful guidance in planning practice. This study examines three retail strips in the inner city of Toronto, namely East Chinatown, the Gerrard India Bazaar, and Corso Italia, and one suburban Asian theme mall, the Pacific Mall in the City of Markham in an attempt to identify the role of urban planning in responding to the rise of ethnic retail neighbourhoods. The findings of the four cases indicate that urban planners have been unable to intervene actively in ethnic retail and direct its development and growth. The planning legislative structure and the lack of policy support hinder planners’ capacity to be proactive. Planners cannot work alone to build multicultural cities. This paper concludes on the importance of municipal intervention interdepartmental collaboration as useful implications for multicultural planning practice. Résumé: Les récentes vagues d'immigration ont considérablement affecté les paysages urbains et les économies des plus grandes régions métropolitaines du Canada. Un phénomène remarquable est la montée de bandes ethniques de détail et des centres en tant que marqueurs physiques de multiculturalisme croissant. La dynamique du commerce de détail ethnique posent diverses opportunités et des défis pour les municipalités, et pourtant, notre connaissance de sa complexité est limitée et la littérature actuelle sur la planification multiculturelle offre peu d'indications utiles pour planifier la pratique. Cette étude porte sur trois bandes de détail dans le centre-ville de Toronto, à savoir East Chinatown, le Gerrard India Bazaar et Corso Italia, et un centre commercial de banlieue thème asiatique, Pacific Mall dans la ville de Markham dans une tentative d'identifier le rôle des villes la planification pour répondre à la hausse des quartiers ethniques de vente au détail. Les résultats de ces quatre cas indiquent que les urbanistes ont pu intervenir activement dans ethnique détail et orienter son développement et sa croissance. La structure de la programmation législative et le manque de soutien politique entravent la capacité des planificateurs d'être proactif. Les planificateurs peuvent pas travailler seul à construire des villes multiculturelles. Cet article conclut sur l'importance de l'intervention municipale et la collaboration interministérielle comme conséquences utiles pour la pratique de planification multiculturelle.

Within the neoliberal context of today’s urbanism, a growing number of inner-city megaprojects aim to transform brownfield sites—accompanied by gentrification and tourism. However, there is no systematic review exploring the interplay between these phenomena. This paper aims to systemize the existing scientific contributions by means of a literature review. Using different databases, a total number of 797 scientific documents have been identified. After several screening steps, a final set of 66 studies was included in the review. I present an analysis from a quantitative and a qualitative perspective, exploring bibliometric aspects, concepts, methods, and relevant lines of discussion. The area studied is a relatively young and emerging field. Within the discussion, there is a strong dominance of countries located in the global north, with Spain, the UK, and the U.S. at the forefront. From a methodological point of view, qualitative and mixed methods are mostly applied. The discussion of megaprojects, gentrification, and tourism has an important descriptive focus, with main topics such as planning, justice, and motivations. There are considerable conceptual deficits, as one-quarter of the studies do not clearly explain their methods. Future research needs to find ways to enable knowledge transfer to planning practice.

This project presents a concept plan and vision for Kennedy Mobility Hub in Toronto, Ontario. The concept plan seeks to achieve six project goals, which are informed by a literature review, policy review, and context review. The goals are: to increase residential and employment density; achieve a more complete mix of transit-supportive land uses; replace all surface parking currently on developable public lands; improve the pedestrian and cyclist experience; expand greenspace; and ensure seamless transit mobility. The concept plan proposes extensive changes to the project area including mid-and high-rise development on all publicly owned surface parking lands. A number of new and extended roads are proposed to increase the area's permeability and facilitate development. Residential and employment densities for hypothetical development sites are calculated and discussed. The project highlights some of the pragmatic planning challenges, and potential solutions, associated with retrofitting commuter parking nodes to become transit-and pedestrian-oriented urban environments.

Strong Recommendation

This paper provides results of an investigation into the research literature of intercultural mediation and how intercultural mediation has been implemented in Europe. To this end, a systematic quantitative literature review was conducted, which identified 77 conceptual and empirical manuscripts for this study. The review showed that little agreement exists on precisely what intercultural mediation is and how it should be structured and supported as a profession. The empirical works identified in this study can be characterized as ad hoc in nature, capitalizing on circumstances. The result is a patchwork of concepts and studies that collectively do not provide sufficient support or foundation for the use of intercultural mediation. In order to move the field forward, we argue that an immediate next step should be the development of a well-thought, systematic research program, grounded in the existing literature. A strong recommendation found in the literature is the use of evaluation to illustrate the value of intercultural mediation. Evaluation can provide data that could help those in authority make defensible decisions about policy support for intercultural mediation. Finally, considering the current situation in European schools, we propose that in the field of mediation the intercultural approach be implemented.
