Contemporary urbanization in India is in transition and this, along with the continuation of a ‘top heavy’ urban structure and gradual deindustrialization, is characterized by faster growth of informal employment, a declining trend of urban-ward migration of males, the slow down in the growth of cities and towns and the emergence of new urban centres. Given this immediate backdrop, this paper examines the contemporary processes and emerging forms of urban transition in West Bengal, with its longstanding history of ‘mono-centric’ urbanization. It reveals that urbanization in the state is no longer confined to a few pockets, as many new urban centres have emerged away from them and small towns are growing at relatively faster rates compared to the cities. But the underlying factors of this transition are not associated with the dispersal of economic activities and employment opportunities away from the metropolises. Furthermore, the study is sceptical about the significance of this emerging form of urbanization fuelled by the growth of small cities and towns which have a weak economic base, a crisis of urban governance and inadequate access to basic amenities.

The Creation

The article considers the creation of a fortification line of defense of the Russian state during the 15th-16th centuries as a process of formation of a specific settlement system. It puts forward the hypothesis that the formation of a linear defensive-residential structure consisting of residential and defense constructions united by roads into a single structure of interconnected formations for various functions was purposeful. It is noted that one of the insufficiently studied pages of the Russian history of town-planning to this day remains "Watchline" not as object of fortification, but as an object of town-planning art. On the basis of the study of the works of D. Bagaley, F. Laskovsky, I.D. Belyaeva, A.I. Yakovlev and other researchers, including modern researchers, article concludes that the settlement of the XIV-XVI century's period originally had a planned character. That was, in fact, a complex system of resettlement created, based on a fundamentally new urban development technique for the development of territories. The article substantiates the legitimacy of using the concept of "Settlement System" as applied to the period of the XV-XVII centuries - the period of the state formation. It was the emergence of statehood that allowed the creation of a management system and the structure of such town-planning structures as the Zasechnye lines.

The City

The aim of this paper is to present the reader with the practices, the challenges and the benefits of the changing patterns in urban planning. There is a necessity to implement measures that focus on the population’s needs, and to merge the potential of urban planning and the townspeople’s memories in response to the phenomenon of the redevelopment of downtown. The opportunity of the insertion of municipal administrators, developers, designers and most importantly townspeople in the process, ensures the commitment to arising outcomes and enhances the potential of urban planning. Also, the process should have a restricted number of clear goals to avoid losing the space potential and the connections to the memories of the city’s residents. Redeveloping cities’ downtowns have been a critical issue to tackle as the need arises to revive and modernize the old parts of the cites, usually ending with the destruction of the history and the space memories in those parts leading to the loss of its connection with the city’s residents and erasing the spirit of the city piece by piece. One example of such approaches is observed on the reconstruction of Beirut, Lebanon Central District (BCD), starting from 1991 and the reconstruction of Al-Abdali which is one of the most strategic and old locations in the city of Amman, Jordan in 2004 For this reason, this paper is devoted to discuss information, which can form the basis for the urban development. And set theoretical ground rules for cooperation with the public and allowing for their participation in the urban development process.

Today globalisation appears to evoke a set of problems, including spatial inequality and the necessity arises to elaborate an alternative paradigm. There are already known plenty of location theories, among which industrial regions or clusters appeal to local relations rather than global economic system. Being a perspective model of urban development, it is still hardly embodied in urban planning to solve regional problems efficiently. The article intends to contribute to the theory of clusters and adapt it to socio-economic principles which identify the existence of towns. The case of small towns and settlements illustrates how local potentials can be used for sustainable urban development.

Small cities and towns in Indonesia have experienced a significant development during the period of 2000-2010. However, the development of small cities and towns has not been in line with the way the urban areas are governed and managed. There is a tendency that the governments pay a little attention to the governance of smaller urban areas, especially those which do not municipal status or the urban areas which is part of regency administrative boundary. This research analyzes the governance and planning of small towns in Central Java taken four small towns in Joglosemar region (Yogyakarta-Surakarta-Semarang). The research applied some qualitative methods combining document analysis, interview and regulation analysis. It is found that there is a significant gap between the urban development and its planning and governance. Urban development policies seem to be lacking in providing guidelines to drive the development of the small towns so that they can perform their functions within their respective regional urban system as well as solve their internal problems. The governance has mostly relied on the role of local government despite continuing lack of institutional capacity in managing urban development.

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.

Chapter 7 focuses on the smaller cities in central Illinois where Greek immigrant confectioners settled and established small Greek communities, centered on the Greek Orthodox churches that were funded and supported by the Greek confectioners and other successful Greek businessmen and community leaders. Unlike the small towns where only one or sometimes two Greeks might open a candy store, these small cities often had several, such as Springfield, which had as many as ten to fifteen Greek confectioners around 1920. Many of these Greek entrepreneurs took their earnings and bought real estate or opened other businesses. The most famous of these were Gus and Louis Kerasotes, who went from making candy to opening the first of what became a nationwide chain of movie houses.

New Evidence

Greek urban planning in the Archaic period has essentially been a history of colonial foundations, mainly in Magna Graecia and Sicily. The Greek homeland has often been considered as a place where early cities developed by chance and without any regular layout before the Hippodamean revolution in the early Classical period. The newly discovered urban plan of Late Archaic Tegea in Arkadia challenges this view, showing that the art of urban planning was as well developed in Greece as in the colonies. This new evidence puts the Greek urban development in a new light and explains how the Classical achievements in urban planning were rooted in a tradition in the Greek homeland and not only in the colonies.
