Within the scope of this article shopping malls were discussed as a building type and the evolution of a building type was tried to be witnessed within a twenty-five year period by comparing the early and late examples of shopping malls in Istanbul. The change of Istanbul’s shopping culture / spaces and the inclusion of shopping centers into the practice of architecture as a building type are briefly mentioned . Each of the selected malls were separately examined in terms of location, concept, space organization and other functions included, and in the fourth section both early and late examples were evaluated together in the same terms with a holistic perspective. The effect of shopping malls, the number of which constantly increases in Istanbul, on the city and its architecture is highly important. These massive bodies of buildings play a significant role in the formation and even definition of the new settlement areas of the city, and generate new areas of attraction. Due to these reasons, from location to architectural characteristic, from schedule to interior quality, they need to be designed punctiliously and with the consideration of the effects at all levels.

En el imaginario global, Dubái representa hoy en día una fascinante y reluciente ciudad joven proyectada hacia el futuro aunque hace tan solo 50 años, la ciudad no era más que pequeña población de comerciantes y pescadores. Sin embargo, el descubrimiento y comercialización el petróleo en los años 60 supuso un punto de inflexión en la historia del emirato y su capital. Rápidamente brotaron del desierto infinitas siluetas de luces brillantes que animan la imagen de Dubái. Una imagen que presenta numerosas analogías con las fachadas iluminadas de Las Vegas, ciudad con la que Dubái ha sido frecuentemente comparada, pero, ¿qué se esconde verdaderamente “detrás de las fachadas” de este espectáculo urbano? La rápida y explosiva expansión de la ciudad durante el pasado reciente condujo a fenómenos de expansión urbana y a la proliferación de espacios basura (junkspaces). En medio de zonas de alta densidad existen grandes espacios vacíos y zonas desérticas generan una fuerte sensación de desorientación urbana. Así, en una ciudad donde los centros comerciales y los hoteles se ha convertido en los principales puntos de agregación social, la estructura urbana parece similar a una interconexión de “no-lugares”, según la definición de Marc Augé, de iconos dispersos por el territorio. Este artículo analizará las ambiciones implícitas y descartadas de los distintos planes urbanos de Dubái para, en base a ellos, tratar de señalar las soluciones para las actuales cuestiones urbanas abiertas.PALABRAS CLAVE: Dubái, crecimiento, plan urbano, morfología, densidad, futuro.In the global imaginary, Dubai represents a fascinating and glimmering young city projected to the future even, if just 50 years ago, the city was a small village of fishermen and shopkeepers. Nevertheless, the discovery and commercialization of oil in the 60s was a turning point in the history of the emirate and its capital. Quickly sprout up from the desert, the glittering led lights that animate Dubái’s skyscrapers at night present common analogies with the «decorated sheds» of Las Vegas, which is a city commonly compared with Dubái. But, what is concealed “behind the scenes” of this outstanding urban spectacle? The very fast and bursting expansion of the city of the recent past led to phenomena of urban sprawl and to the proliferation of junkspaces. In between highdensity zones, there are large unbuilt empty spaces and desertic areas that generate a strong sensation of urban disorientation. Thus, in a city where shopping malls and hotels became the main points of social aggregation, the urban structure seems similar to an interconnection of Non-Places, following the definition of Marc Augé, of urban landmarks spread on the territory. This paper will attempt to unfold the implied and jettisoned ambitions of Dubái’s masterplans, attempting to point out solutions for the present open urban issues.KEYWORDS: Dubai, urban growth, masterplan, morphology, density, future

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Zagreb witnessed the appearance of a new building typology meant to accommodate various sorts of monetary institutions: banks, savings banks, insurance companies and stock exchanges. This paper presents one important early example of that type – the seat of the Croatian Escompte Bank in Zagreb. It was designed in 1898-1899 by the Vienna-based studio Fellner and Helmer for a prominent location at 3 Ilica Street and it heralded the defining features of the new building type, such as the union of diverse facilities within a single structure, imposing architectural features and overall grand appearance, and a highly prominent role in the urban fabric of the city. In particular, it contributed to the definition of a spatial and formal scheme for commercial corner buildings, as the most exposed and attractive segments of downtown city blocks. In that sense it served as a productive model for a number of corner buildings intended for business purposes that were to follow.

The main aim of presented study was to analyze and to assess accessibility of shopping malls as traffic generators in the city of Krakow (Poland) as well as to compare calculated results in the perspective of the whole amount of shopping centers. The scope of research work includes the calculation of two kinds of accessibility measures: distance measures based on the straight line (Euclidean distance) and real distances and potential accessibility measures also based on the same distances and, additionally, weighted by characteristics of shopping malls and transport districts. The data from the OpenStreetMap project was used to get information concerning transport network and two kinds of above-mentioned distances. At the end of article a possible usage of obtained results and the further development of topic are described.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/CIT2016.2016.4117

O trabalho pretende analisar os circuitos e cenários das dinâmicas comerciais atuais da cidade alta de Salvador, a antiga zona comercial "nobre" que, após várias fases sucessivas de desenvolvimento nas últimas décadas, ainda hoje constitui a zona comercial mais densa da cidade. Em nível prático, nosso objetivo é caracterizar as dinâmicas: organização das empresas; características pessoais e profissionais dos comerciantes bem como suas percepções e opiniões. Em nível teórico, pretendemos discutir a validade das teorias dualistas das economias urbanas do terceiro mundo, através dos resultados empíricos deste caso específico de uma área total, a cidade alta, que engloba dentro de estruturas comerciais a priori modernas - shopping centers e tradicionais - as ruas comerciais. Enfim, para reforçar o caráter pragmático da pesquisa, nosso objetivo é refletir sobre as dificuldades e, por outro lado, as potencialidades da área. As análises mostram uma cidade alta bastante heterogênea em todos aspectos e internamente hierarquizada. Os shopping centers e a Avenida Sete de Setembro apresentam a maior intensidade das atividades e concentram as empresas de grande porte que servem de elo entre os espaços comerciais. Apesar desta semelhança estrutural entre os shopping centers e certos trechos do comércio de rua, os padrões locacionais e as estratégias das pequenas empresas assim como as características dos comerciantes traduzem uma dissociação dos espaços. A predominância das pequenas empresas e a heterogeneidade qualitativa dos estabelecimentos, os problemas de infra-estrutura de segurança e a falta de dinamismo dos comerciantes de rua destacam-se como as fraquezas da cidade alta. Por outro lado o resgate da história e o leque extremamente variado de atividade de áreas turísticas deverão constituir as bases para o desenvolvimento futuro da área. Abstract The objective of the present study is to analyze the spatiality of commercial dynamics of the "Upper Town" of Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. This former fashionable retail area in the Old Center of the city has gone through several successive phases of development during the last decades, but still today constitutes the densest commercial area of the city. On a practical level, our objective is to characterize the commercial dynamics of the area, based on three interrelated factors in the formation of dynamics: organization of retail firms; personal and professional characteristics of the merchants; perceptions and opinions of the merchants. On a theoretical level, our objective is to discuss the validity of dualist theories of Third World urban economies, based on the empirical results of this specific case of a total area, the Upper Town, that englobes both a priori modern and traditional commercial structures, i.e. new shopping malls and old shopping streets. Finally, in order to stress the pragmatic character of the study, our objective is to evaluate the difficulties and the potentialities of the retail area. The analyses reveal a very heterogeneous and internally hierarchized Upper Town. The shopping malls and the principal avenue, Sete de Setembro, present the highest intensity of activities and concentrate the largest firms that form a link between these commercial spaces. In spite of this structural similarity between the malls and some parts of the shopping streets, locational and functional strategies of the small firms, as well as the characteristics of merchants express a dissociation between the spaces. The predominance of small firms, the qualitative heterogeneity of the establishments, problems of inftastructure and security, and the lack of dynamism of the merchants of shopping streets stand out as the ftagilities of the Upper Town. On the other hand, rescue of historical and cultural values, the extremely diversified scale of retail and service activities, proximity of tourist areas and location in a point of convergence of transportation should constitute the bases for future development of the area.

Neste artigo, são abordados aspectos fundamentais das novas formas comerciais e as expressões da centralidade urbana materializadas na cidade de Imperatriz. De início, são ressaltadas algumas considerações sobre o fenômeno urbano no Brasil que apresenta como traços característicos a complexidade e diversificação. Teve influência nesse cenário, distintas determinações, entre as quais ressaltamos: o desenvolvimento de atividades econômicas variadas que promoveram maior dinamismo das cidades, como é o caso da industrialização que favoreceu a expansão deste processo no centro-sul do país, a modernização do campo na região centro-oeste, influenciada pelo avanço e uso de novas técnicas. Os reflexos desse fenômeno são visíveis na realidade amazônica, onde se insere a cidade de Imperatriz que é objeto central deste estudo. Desse modo, tivemos a inquietação de compreender as expressões da centralidade urbana desenvolvida por esta cidade, através da instalação e dinamismo dos shopping centers. Esta investigação apoiou-se na adoção da abordagem marxista, fundamentada no uso do método dialético por entender que a realidade urbana se constrói de modo contraditório, ou seja, as cidades são edificadas por atores que apresentam interesses distintos. Esta construção método-lógica se apoiou ainda, nas contribuições fornecidas por Trivinos (2011) e Gil (2008). Utilizamos ainda, como técnicas para a coleta de dados: a observação simples e realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Palavras- chave: Imperatriz. Centralidade Urbana. Shoppings Centers.     NEW COMMERCIAL FORMS AND EXPRESSIONS OF URBAN CENTRALITY IN IMPERATRIZ – MA: an analysis of the installation and dynamism of shopping centers ABSTRACT In this article it is discussed the key aspects of the new commercial forms and expressions of the urban centrality of Imperatriz. At first, some considerations about the urban phenomenon in Brazil, that poses diverse and complex, are made. This scenario was influenced by different determinations; some of them were the development of many economic activities, that promoted greater dynamism of the cities, as in the case of industrialization, that favored the expansion of this process in the Center-South of this country, the modernization of the countryside in the Central-West, influenced by advancement and the use of new techniques. The reflections of this phenomenon is visible in the Amazon reality, the region where it enters the city of Imperatriz, which is the object of this study. Because of that, we had the anxiety to understand the expressions of the urban centrality developed by this city by the installing and dynamism of the shopping malls. This research is supported by the adoption of the theoretical Marxist approach and on the use of the dialectical method for understanding the urban reality is built in a contradictory way. Those methodological constructions were based on the contributions provided by Trivinos (2011) and Gil (2008). As techniques for data collection the simple observation and the adoption of semi-structured interviews were used. Keywords: Imperatriz. Urban centrality. Shopping malls.   NOUVELLES FORMES COMMERCIALES ET EXPRESSIONS DE LA CENTRALITÉ URBAINE EN IMPERATRIZ – MA: une analyse de I’installation et de la dynamisme des centres commerciaux ABSTRAIT Dans cet article, nous avons mit en évidence les aspects fondamentaux des nouvelles formes commerciales et les expressions de la centralité urbaine de la ville d'Imperatriz. De cette façon, nous soulignons certaines considérations sur le phénomène urbain au Brésil qui sont classifiées comme complexes et diversifiés. Le développement de diverses activités économiques qui ont favorisé un grand dynamisme des villes, comme l'industrialisation qui a permit l'expansion de ce processus dans le centre-sud du pays, la modernisation de la campagne région centre-ouest, qui a été influencée par la progression et l'utilisation de nouvelles techniques, sont des examples de la manière comme ce processus urbain a pu exister dans des différentes régions du Brésil. Les réflexes de ce phénomène sont visibles dans la réalité amazonienne, où est insérée la ville d'Imperatriz qui fait l'objet de cette étude. De cette manière, nous avons eu la curiosité de comprendre les expressions de la centralité urbaine développée par cette ville, à travers l'installation et le dynamisme des centres commerciaux. La recherche est basée sur l’abordage théorique  marxiste. Cette dernière est soutenu par l'utilisation de la méthode dialectique, car elle admet que la réalité urbaine est construite de manière contradictoire. Ces constructions méthodologiques étaient basées sur les contributions fournies par Trivinos (2011) et Gil (2008) et nous avons utilisé la simple observation et adoption d'entretiens semi-structurés comme techniques de collecte de données. Mots-clés: Imperatriz. Centralité urbaine. Centres commerciaux.

In connection with the distance of man from nature, the issues of landscaping, both open spaces and interiors, have become particularly relevant in the XXI century. One of the signature of a modern metropolis is a multi-purpose shopping and entertainment centers (SEC) and complexes (SEC). Every day, the shopping center is visited by hundreds of people of almost all age groups. A well-planned interior and a comfortable environment directly affect the number of visitors and their purchasing power. The most important condition for the comfort of the interior is a phytodesign. Plant compositions in shopping centers make the space attractive and cozy. Staying in green areas does not cause oversaturation and fatigue, allowing the eye to rest in a timely manner. The paper presents the results of studying the features of landscaping of the interiors of the shopping center of the city of Voronezh. Stylistic solutions, the range and condition of the plants used are analyzed. Currently, artificial plants are used in the interiors of most of the shopping centers of our city, which only partially perform the functions of phytodesign. At the same time, stylistic and compositional solutions differ in relative monotony. The implementation of the project of landscaping the interiors of the shopping center with the use of live plants should be preceded by pre-project studies, including the definition of the style and microclimatic parameters of the room (illumination, temperature and relative humidity), identification of the features of the flow of visitors, as well as zoning of the territory.

The qualitative and clear definition of the legal regime of the capital of Ukraine, the hero city of Kyiv, is influenced by its legislative enshrinement, however, it should be noted that discussions are ongoing and one of the reasons for the unclear legal status of the capital is the ambiguity of current legislation in this area. Separation of the functions of the city of Kyiv, which are carried out to ensure the rights of citizens of Ukraine and the functions that guarantee the rights of the territorial community of the city of Kyiv. In the modern world, in legal doctrine and practice, the capital is understood as the capital of the country, which at the legislative level received this status and, accordingly, is the administrative and political center of the state, which houses the main state bodies and diplomatic missions of other states. It is the identification of the boundaries of the relationship between the competencies of state administrations and local self-government, in practice, often raises questions about their delimitation and ways of regulatory solution. Peculiarities of local self-government in Kyiv city districts are defined in the provisions of the Law on the Capital, which reveal the norms of the Constitution in these legal relations, according to which the issue of organizing district management in cities belongs to city councils. Likewise, it is unregulated by law to lose the particularity of the legal status of the territory of the city. It should be emphasized that the subject of administrative-legal relations is not a certain administrative-territorial entity, but the social group is designated - the territorial community of the city of Kiev, kiyani. Thus, the provisions on the city of Kyiv partially ignore the potential of the territorial community.
