Mode A

Since 1990s housing construction in China has been going through a gradual separation from the planned economy mode, a transition from collective housing construction and distribution to market-oriented mode, which resulted in the all-time growing of real estate development and accelerated the succession of urban development. This article gives an outline of general analysis on correlation of housing construction and urban growth, including its influence on urban economy, social stability, urbanization process, city layout, suburban districts and appearance of residential difference. The article points out the importance and urgency of keeping balance between housing construction and urban development. It points that seeking a balanced way for cities, dwellings and humanity would be the theme and trend of urban housing construction.

Definition Of

Through political transition, socio-economical trends of cities as urban areas contributed to huge movements of population from rural to urban areas or from small urban areas toward big urban areas, making them bigger, under the rapid growth. Those cities have faced: Overloads with number of citizens, Lack of adequate infrastructure and Creativity deficiency for drafting and implementing urban development vision. Consequently, the question is what qualitative life do cities offer when considering abovementioned suppositions related to rapid urban growth? In general, for cities under rapid development, experts and authorities have not sufficiently succeeded to develop proper methodologies to neutralize chaotically urban development trends for some inner or outer urban areas under the rapid growth, especially from countries in transition. In this context several reasons have been identified. Starting from not properly definition of land ownership and land destination, lack of urban development plans, not harmonized and not approved legislation framework, not established adequate mechanisms for monitoring and implementation of projects, lack of adequate expertise from specific fields, unsustainable transport modes, etc. This paper identifies the possibilities that may lead to the success of urban management for strategic development of rapid growth for urban areas. The approaches for improvement and change should be based on multidisciplinary actions from different organisational levels of society, proactively and in the same time acting on: Analytical aspect Planning aspect Organizational aspect Implementation aspect Furthermore, this concept should be based on multi-sectorial expertise and partnerships between different actors dealing with the complexity of urban development. As main guideline for management of spatial city structure of cities under rapid urban growth, can be considered concept which is based on management of transition from existing to new developed urban areas and inter-relation between inner and outer urban areas. This concept may possibly include the development of new urban areas and renovation of existing ones, establishing transitional networks for implementing urban policies versus urban dynamics. In this way will be encouraged to redefine investments and to strengthen public-private partnership, as basic spatial development concept.

In the period from 1948 to 1970 urban housing architecture in Yugoslavia had a distinctly experimental character as it strived intensively towards research and establishment of new architectural patterns and values that would mark the period of economic growth of the country. In conditions of mass housing construction, initiated by the devastated urban housing fund after the Second World War, significant influx of population to towns and the state directed its socialist aspirations at alloting every family acceptable living space. The period of the so-called ?directed housing construction?, whose imperative was to establish the limits of existential minimum in collective housing, maximal space ?packing? and optimal functionality of flats, at the same time represents the most significant period in the development of housing architecture in Yugoslavia. The architects focused their interests in housing in mainly three directions: a) the creation and application of new prefabrication systems, b) innovative application of modernistic patterns in aestheticization of architecture and c) experimenting with space units which will enable a higher level of privacy in high-density housing conditions. The first direction of research emerged in the context of post-war housing construction of a wide scope, which encouraged the advance of technological research in areas of prefabrication and practical application of achieved results on the whole territory of Yugoslavia. The second direction dealt with architectural planning which was strictly subordinated to social and ideological sphere with domineering socialist monumentalism and artistic and sculptural approach to architecture. The third was related to experimental tendency with new urban housing patterns which aimed to search and find more pragmatic, humane solutions within mass high-density housing constructions which were the first to utilize and show examples of ?double-tract? buildings. These were primarily realized in Serbia, as continuation of tendencies first expressed in activities of ?Belgrade School of Housing?.

The City

Urbanization is spreading across the world and beyond metropolitan areas. Medium-sized cities have also undergone processes of accelerated urban expansion, especially in Latin America, thanks to scant regulation or a complete lack thereof. Thus, understanding urban growth in the past and simulating it in the future has become a tool to raise its visibility and challenge territorial planners. In this work, we use Markov chains, cellular automata, multi-criteria multi-objective evaluation, and the determination of land use/land cover (LULC) to model the urban growth of the city of Temuco, Chile, a paradigmatic case because it has experienced powerful growth, where real estate development pressures coexist with a high natural value and the presence of indigenous communities. The urban scenario is determined for the years 2033 and 2049 based on the spatial patterns between 1985 and 2017, where the model shows the trend of expansion toward the northeast and significant development in the western sector of the city, making them two potential centers of expansion and conflict in the future given the heavy pressure on lands that are indigenous property and have a high natural value, aspects that need to be incorporated into future territorial planning instruments.

This work seeks to measure, locate, and explain changes in the distribution of population and urban growth in the territory formed by France, Italy, and the Iberian Peninsula between 1920 and 2010. This is based on population data of more than fifty-six thousand local units obtained from population censuses: the Geokhoris database that we built. Our starting viewpoint is that it is only possible to understand the extent of the urbanization process within the context of the evolution of all of the municipalities. The description of the distribution and growth of population at the local level shows the population concentration in the various urban agglomerations, and, since 1970, a relative deconcentration and extension of the cities. Within this context, a regression model helped us to identify the geographic factors that correlate with these fundamental transformations in population geography, which were also indicative of new forms of social organization within the territory.

The high rate of migration, coupled with population increase triggered rapid urbanization. However, a great proportion of the population still lives in substandard and low quality houses in a deplorable unsanitary residential environment particularly in developing countries. Urban and Economic growth have brought about all typical problems associated with rapid urban development resulting in housing shortage both quantitative and qualitative, slums, illegal settlement and squatting as experienced in owerri municipality. These have resulted into many urban and housing problems within the state capital owerri. This study examined the nature of urban growth and housing problems in owerri municipality. Also it tries to examine residential housing stock, identity the nature of housing problems, government policies and programmes in other to address the problems. The pattern of growth was determined using spatial analysis, and the housing problems were identified through questionnaire and field surveys. Findings revealed that the growth of urban housing in owerri municipality increases by 1034.0 hectare which is equivalent to 38.5% which is in line with Maurice (2004). It was also discovered that over a period of time, new settlements have evolved. Also, the construction and expansion of road networks are evidences of urban growth in owerri municipality.

This chapter develops a sociology of drift from the classic works of Robert Park, Georg Simmel, David Matza, Gresham Sykes, and others. It reconsiders Sykes and Matza’s “techniques of neutralization” model, arguing that it embodies a deeper sociological and cultural critique than that which is commonly attributed to it. The chapter then constructs a political economy and spatial economy of drift which locates drift within contemporary urban dynamics of “consumption-driven urban development,” spatial displacement, anti-homeless initiatives, risk-based and place-based policing, broken-windows policing, and CPTED. The chapter concludes by considering these dynamics in the context of spatial alienation and transgression.

“Megalopolis and megaregion" outlines what happens when cities and conurbations merge. Both terms are used to describe clustered multi-city regions in America and elsewhere. City plans since 1900 have focused on efficiency and connection, and local governments struggle to keep up with urban growth. Cities around the world have implemented plans to contain the outward spread of urban development, protecting greenbelts, green centers, and woodlands. These merged cities have led to larger-scale thinking for planners, but city planning remains a local and regional activity, with planners working with local authorities and aiming to improve people’s everyday lives.

The study has endeavored to investigate the urban development and its impacts on Tangail municipality, Tangail, Bangladesh. The factual data have been collected from secondary sources, while the perceptual data are based on survey questionnaires on the opinions of respondents. Data were collected through instant spot observation (transect survey) and in-depth consultation, and interviews. The study displays that, the population of Tangail municipality rapidly augmented after 1971. For instance, the population rose from 19.875 thousand in 1961 to 128.785 thousand in 2001. Additionally, the area of Tangail municipality was 15.50 km2 in 1981 which has expanded to 29.40 km2 in 2001. The proposed area of Tangail municipality was five km2. In 1951 the level of urbanization in Tangail municipality was 1.79% which has experienced a sharp rise of 12.99 % in 2001. The study found that, the enlarged urbanization in Tangail town has resulted in higher population density, increased demand for food, alleviation of environmental pollution, increased traffic congestion, generation of solid waste, inadequate garbage disposal, effluent disposal into rivers, crime, and disappearing green and open space in the Tangail municipality.J.
