The aim of the paper is to describe the main principles of the methodology of preparing the first part of Ukmergė Master Plan, evaluating existing situation, and to encourage other planners to present and share this experience. The analysis of urban structure, balance of land use, occupation, street network and categories is given in the paper as well as its influence on possible economic and urban development of the town, estimation of need and possibilities to manage it. As a result of this analysis, specific Ukmergė urban development problems which could be solved by using new planning ideology – a long-term strategy, continuous recommendatory comprehensive planning, implementation (design) projects, evaluation methodology, education of society and politicians and new planning implementation law – are identified. Santrauka Šio straipsnio tikslas – supažindinti skaitytojus su Ukmergės miesto bendrojo plano rengimo pirmosios dalies – esamos būklės įvertinimo – svarbiausiais metodikos principais bei paskatinti ir kitus bendrųjų planų rengėjus pristatyti ir pasidalinti šia patirtimi. Straipsnyje pateikiama miesto struktūros, žemės naudojimo balanso, gyventojų demografinių tendencijų, apsirūpinimo būstu, užimtumo, gatvių tinklo ir kategorijų analizė bei visų šių veiksnių įtaka galimai miesto ekonominei ir urbanistinei plėtrai, poreikiui ir galimybėms ją valdyti. Remiantis analize identifikuojamos specifinės Ukmergės miesto urbanistinės plėtros problemos, kurias galėtų išspręsti kitokia negu dabartinė planavimo ideologija – ilgalaikė strategija, tęstinis rekomendacinis bendrasis planavimas, įgyvendinimo (suplanavimo) projektai, įvertinimo metodika, visuomenės ir politikų švietimas, naujas planavimų įgyvendinimo įstatymas.

This study presents a first attempt at an archaeological topography of the city of Arbīl (Arbela, Urbilum, Arbail). Arbīl's large tell and citadel are among the most famous sites in northern Iraq, although research on the site has begun only recently. The study of the immediate hinterlands of the tell, complementary use of written sources, remote sensing and surveys offer a perspective on the extremely long-term evolution of the lower town, whose architectural remains have entirely disappeared under modern building development. Despite many lacunae in the data and a predominance of indirect hypotheses, the urban structure of Assyrian Arbail becomes comprehensible in the context of other Assyrian royal capitals. During the Islamic period, the city underwent a transformation, which merged the once prosperous Sasanian provincial capital with the expanding Muslim community.

AbstractOn August 24th, 2016, the town of Accumoli has suffered from a strong earthquake of 6.2 magnitudes, which caused a life loss, destroyed buildings, and huge numbers of homeless people. Now, four years after the earthquake, the village has not yet been reconstructed, no long-term housing has been provided for the inhabitants, and even the rubble of the destroyed houses has not been removed from the site. The significance of this paper is to provide some design scenarios for shelters using wood and membrane as construction materials, in order to provide housing in Accumoli for the existing population in a new site next to the destroyed one. These proposed design projects are part of the consortium of the “Scuola di Ricostruzione di Accumoli”.

Since 1998, a programme of street test soundings has been carried out at Sagalassos (South-West Turkey) to investigate the urban development of the town and the evolution of its street network.1 Combined with the evidence from large-scale excavations, and geophysical and architectural surveys at the site, this research has painted an accurate picture of ancient street design in this Roman town. Given that the remains of late antique Sagalassos are particularly well-preserved, the evidence also casts light upon the maintenance of the urban infrastructure of this classical city, which gradually became a decaying town from the second half of the 6th c. A.D.

The modern development of cities is infl uenced by a large number of factors, for example, the political environment, global climate change, and the epidemiological situation. The article examines the relationship between the subsystems of urban structure, ensuring its successive development, with the aspects of sustainable development. Aspects of succession urban development in the context of sustainable development are divided into three groups: environmental, economic and social. The urban planning process consists of short-term and long-term programs. Taking into account the identifi ed aspects, the principles of urban planning are formulated, which are aimed at preserving and developing the successive elements of the architectural and planning structure of the city.

The location in the most attractive Volga strip a severe large industrial enterprises, complicating the environmental situation, is a serious obstacle to the harmonious development of Volgograd. The gradual liberation of the Volga riverbank from production functions and their replacement by public-residential and recreational ones is one of the most urgent modern tasks of Volgograd. For such a long city as Volgograd, the development of transport infrastructure is vital. It is the good connectivity of all areas is considered the basis of urban sustainability and the integrity of the urban organism. In the General plan, the development of transport infrastructure is considered from the position of both external and internal transport. the Master plan is focused on the maximum possible disclosure of the existing potential of the Volgograd transport hub, strengthening its role as one of the largest hubs of Federal importance. There are many measures aimed at the development of external transport links. Much attention is paid to the development of inbound tourism.

The article describes the risks for the mental health and wellbeing of urban-dwellers in relation to changes in the spatial structure of a city that could be caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. A year of lockdown has changed the way of life in the city and negated its principal function as a place of various meetings and social interactions. The danger of long-term isolation and being cut-off from an urban lifestyle is not only a challenge facing individuals, but it also creates threats on various collective levels. Hindered interpersonal relations, stress, and the fear of another person lower the quality of life and may contribute to the development of mental diseases. Out of fear against coronavirus, part of the society has sought safety by moving out of the densely populated city centres. The dangerous results of these phenomena are shown by research based on the newest literature regarding the influence of COVID-19 and the lockdown on mental health, urban planning, and the long-term spatial effects of the pandemic such as the urban sprawl. The breakdown of the spatial structure, the loosening of the urban tissue, and urban sprawl are going to increase anthropopressure, inhibit access to mental health treatment, and will even further contribute to the isolation of part of the society. In addition, research has shown that urban structure loosening as a kind of distancing is not an effective method in the fight against the SARS-COV pandemic. Creating dense and effective cities through the appropriate management of development during and after the pandemic may be a key element that will facilitate the prevention of mental health deterioration and wellbeing. It is also the only possibility to achieve the selected Sustainable Development Goals, which as of today are under threat.

Between 1975 and 2002, diminished breeding success of Ospreys was associated with drought and falling lake levels in the western half of our study area near the town of Loon Lake, west-central Saskatchewan. Only 46% of nest attempts were successful in the west compared to 72% in the east, producing 0.88 young per accessible nest in the west and 1.42 in the east. Breeding success was greater in the eastern half, where water levels were stable, in spite of increased human use of the resort lakes there. Our unique long-term Canadian data base results support Ogden's 1977 prediction that Osprey productivity may decrease when water levels drop and fish populations are reduced.

- Unlike other great cities of Europe, Budapest did not experience any significant urban development before the nineteenth century, especially before 1867, the year of the foundation of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. After that, the city became the second pole, after Vienna, of this important European state. The capital of the Kingdom of Hungary grew through the use of various types of urban architecture and especially through a "style" that was meant to express Hungarian national identity. Architects, engineers, and other professionals from Hungary and Austria contributed to this process of modernization as well as many foreigners from Germany, France and England. The city's master plan - modeled after Paris's - focused on the area crossed by the Viale Sugár [Boulevard of the Spoke] was set on the Parisian model and so covered only certain parts of the city. The Committee on Public Works (1870-1948) played a leading role in putting the plan approved in 1972 - into effect in all aspects of urban planning, architecture and infrastructure.

The earthquake of 26 December 2003 destroyed about 85% of the housing stock and left up to 75,600 people in the city of Bam homeless. With the convergence of migrants from nearby villages, it is estimated that 155,000 people were in need of shelter in Bam and surrounding villages. A municipal governmental Master Plan for the reconstruction of Bam was completed in September 2004. Permanent housing construction in the city of Bam began in October 2004, and is scheduled to take three to five years. In the interim, intermediate shelter construction in Bam and reconstruction of permanent shelter in the surrounding villages is ongoing and work is being done to integrate relief operations into long-term recovery, rehabilitation, and reconstruction programs. At the time of the reconnaissance trip in late May 2004, 16,200 intermediate shelters were assembled in Bam, either on the sites of original dwellings or on campgrounds on the outskirts of the city, and over 2,500 permanent shelters were constructed in the surrounding villages.
