There is a direct relationship between urban safety in Istanbul and neoliberal urban planning policies that has led to the creation of a new wealthy class. Such a class has risen from profiteering from land deals and the construction of housing and offices, both of which were politically facilitated. The classification of areas of the city as being at risk from crime and earthquake, together with the legalisation of urban change projects, have resulted in whole sections of the community being declared at risk and moved to other areas with an attendant rise in social exclusion.

A ocupação e a organização do espaço aconteceram de forma desigual, onde as camadas menos favorecidas da população terminou sendo excluída das áreas mais nobres da cidade, terminando por se fixar em áreas desvalorizadas imobiliariamente, ocupando entre outros lugares, os morros ou encostas, cuja instabilidade geológica é caracterizada pelo predomínio de escorregamentos ou deslizamentos de massa, o que gera grandes problemas para a população que nelas habitam. Na cidade do Recife, as áreas de risco, que se caracterizam como locais vulneráveis ao deslizamento de massa se encontram, principalmente, na zona norte. Assim, no intuito de conhecer melhor esses espaços e verificar o que tem sido feito para a mitigação do problema, foi escolhido para a realização do presente trabalho o bairro do Córrego do Jenipapo, o qual se localiza nessa região problemática e apresenta em toda sua extensão relevo com características que propicia a ocorrência desse fenômeno. Portanto, tem como objetivo caracterizar o Córrego do Jenipapo, localizá-lo entre os principais bairros que apresenta áreas de risco na Cidade do Recife e apontar as principais ações adotadas pela prefeitura a fim de evitar acidentes.Palavras-chave: ocupação de morro; área de risco; deslizamento de encostas; planejamento urbano. Occupation Area at Risk of Landslides in Córrego do Jenipapo, Recife, Pernambuco ABSTRACTThe occupation of space and organization occurred unevenly, where the disadvantaged sections of the population ended up being excluded from the finest areas of the city, eventually settling in areas undervalued, ranking among other places, the hills and slopes, whose geological instability is characterized by the predominance of landslides or mudslides mass, which creates major problems for the people who inhabit them. In the city of Recife, the risk areas, which are characterized as places vulnerable to sliding mass are mainly in the north. Thus, in order to better understand these areas and see what has been done to mitigate the problem, was chosen for the present work the neighborhood of Jenipapo Stream, which is located in this region and presents problems in all its extension relief with features that facilitates the occurrence of this phenomenon. Therefore, aims to characterize the Stream Jenipapo, locate it among the top districts that presents risk areas in the city of Recife and point out the main actions taken by the city to avoid accidents.Keywords: occupation of the hill; risk area, landslides, urban planning.

This book has explored the enduring yet evolving relationship between sexuality and the city, the causes and consequences of urban change, the diverse and dynamic cultures of a place, the experiences of a marginalized community on the doorstep of equality, and the protean meanings and material expressions of the gayborhood in America. Gayborhoods are artifacts of urban planning, but in the coming out era, they also embodied distinct queer cultures and communities. Today, however, they are straightening and becoming mainstream. The book concludes by suggesting that the queer spirit has become more plastic and portable in a post-gay era, which helps gayborhoods to evolve in exciting ways as many different gender and sexual minorities reinvent their relationship with them, and thus the city itself, in profound ways.

ABSTRACTThis article explores the visibility of the cyclist in Dublin from the 1930s to the 1980s. This visibility is explored in three ways: how the historian can and has apprehended the figure of the cyclist within the city, how the cyclist made him or herself visible within the urban environment and how cyclists were seen within techniques and conventions of urban planning. I suggest that a close examination of the place of the cyclist within the city provides a suggestive tool for understanding the implicit assumptions of urban change at mid-century.

Urban green areas have multiple roles in cities and to a large extent they determine the quality and livability of urban space. The process of urbanization has led to an increase in construction in cities and reduction of open public spaces, especially green areas. Planning of urban green areas is an integral part of urban planning, thus changes in planning and development of urban green areas can be observed through urban planning documents. The main question is whether the loss of green areas is a consequence of non-compliance with plans, or the reason for this lies in the method of planning of green areas. In order to answer this question the paper discusses: functions, standards and classification of urban green areas in general, and their use in two successive general urban plans of the city of Nis in the last twenty years, as a prerequisite for the development of green areas in accordance with growing need for green areas in the city.

The paper examines the features, main problems and prospects of reorganization of depressed areas in the structure of modern cities of Ukraine. The possibility of a comprehensive solution to the problems of a deficit of territorial resources in the structure of the city and reorganization of the architectural environment of urban depressed areas is analyzed. The definition of the depressed city territory is proposed. A classification of depressed territories is being developed and the main types of depressed territories in large and largest cities of Ukraine are identified: depressed industrial territories (inactive or ineffective) and territories with a complex and disturbed relief. The tasks of reorganizing the architectural environment of depressed territories are determined: socio-economic, ecological and aesthetic (architectural and artistic). The levels of reorganization of the architectural environment of depressed territories (city-wide and local) and the corresponding complex of architectural and urban planning measures are identified. A definition of the concept of the aggregate potential of a depressed territory is given and the main characteristics are identified, according to which it can be assessed. The features of the aggregate potential of various types of urban depressed areas are revealed. The possibilities of their adaptation to new socio-economic conditions and transformation into modern architectural or landscape complexes are analyzed. It is established that the level of the aggregate potential of the depressed territory and the feasibility of their reorganization directly depend on their location in the city structure and the initial functional purpose. A method for assessing the level of the aggregate potential of various types of depressed areas is proposed. This method is based on calculating points that determine the degree of influence of various factors from the general complex of the main characteristics of the architectural environment of a depressed territory. A general scheme for reorganizing the architectural environment of depressed territories in the structure of modern cities is being developed, based on the main theoretical provisions of this study.

Sustainable development of the territory is impossible without balanced processes of anthropogenic human activity and rational use of natural resources. The problem of sufficiency and quality of water resources is relevant for the city of Belgorod. For 2021, the Belgorod region is limited by the resources of local surface and underground wastewater, with a fairly high level of municipal, agricultural and industrial consumers. The relevance of this work also lies in the increase in anthropogenic load on the natural framework, which entails a significant deterioration in the quality of surface and groundwater. In this regard, urban planning conflicts arise, which have an impact on the development of the city territory and the quality of the living environment. The research examines urban planning conflicts in the use of water resources in Belgorod. The causes of urban planning conflicts in relation to riverine territories and available water resources have been identified. The identified regulatory, property, land use, transport, social and functional urban planning conflicts are classified according to the hierarchical level, by duration, by the method of occurrence, by type of location, by the nature of manifestation. The introduction of water-saving design into the urban planning practice of the city of Belgorod is justified.

The objectives of the study were the questions of the prerequisites for the renovation of the coastal territory of Volgograd for the formation of sustainable development of the territories of the Volgograd agglomeration. The article presents the results of an urban planning analysis: functional zoning of the embankment territory; a scheme for the reorganization of the territory within the boundaries of the concept development; a scheme for the classification of green areas and retrospective material. The article substantiates the relevance of the development of urban recreational spaces, coastal areas, transformation and modernization of existing buildings in the context of solving the problems of urban development. The requirements for evaluation for each characteristic indicator that affects the transformation of the existing image of Volgograd to increase the tourist potential are given. It is established that the planning and architectural and spatial solutions of the Volgograd embankment are pedestrian-transport – two-tiered: the upper and lower tiers have different functional purposes.

Artiklen har til formål at kaste et kritisk blik på byplanlægningstanker, bl.a. med udgangspunkt i Carlsbergbyen. Disse tanker analyseres i forhold til aktuelle samfundsidealer, og det diskuteres, om de er ulighedsskabende set i et velfærdsperspektiv. The article »Our City – between economic growth and social welfare« deals with physical recreational activity in regard to urban planning. A specific planning site in Copenhagen, »Carlsbergbyen« in Valby is picked out to exemplify contemporary dominating thoughts of planning. In the early planning process, »Carlsbergbyen « was called »Our City« referring to the Carlsberg slogan: »Our Beer«. But seen from a critical perspective it can also refer to »Our City« in contrast to »Their City« – and »Our City« in this matter is the city for The Creative Class. A city that facilitates flexible and multifunctional urban spaces, and that is in particular when it comes to recreational activity. The question asked here is what the social consequences are if contemporary urban planning is dominated by The Creative Class. The question is what mechanisms of social exclusion are at stake? To answer this question the article talks about new paradigms of urban planning, new ways of social distinction and in particular new tendencies of physical recreational activities. The aim of the article is to present a critical perspective that focuses on mechanisms of social exclusion, and hereby call for thoughts of reflection when it comes to the ease with which a term like »Our City« seems to be used in the planning process of »Carlsbergbyen«.

[222 pp, RRP: £18.75, ISBN: 978-1-910781-22-7]The idea of discovering or creating a form of uniqueness to differentiate a place from others is clearly attractive. In this regard, and in line with Ashworth (2009), three urban planning instruments are widely used throughout the world as a means of boosting a city’s image: (i) personality association - where places associate themselves with a named individual from history, literature, the arts, politics, entertainment, sport or even mythology; (ii) the visual qualities of buildings and urban design, which include flagship building, signature urban design and even signature districts and (iii) event hallmarking - where places organize events, usually cultural (e.g., European Capital of Culture, henceforth referred to as ECoC) or sporting (e.g., the Olympic Games), in order to obtain worldwide recognition.

This research is aimed at studying the Hunto Sultan Amay Mosque located in Gorontalo City. Hunto Sultan Amay Mosque is the oldest mosque in the city of Gorontalo The Hunto Sultan Amay Mosque was built as proof of Sultan Amay's love for a daughter and is a representation of Islam in Gorontalo. Researchers will investigate the visual form of the Hunto Sultan Amay Mosque which was originally like an ancient mosque in the archipelago. can be seen from the shape of the roof which initially used an overlapping roof and then converted into a dome as well as mosques in the world, we can be sure the Hunto Sultan Amay Mosque uses a dome roof after the arrival of Dutch Colonial. The researcher used a qualitative method by observing the existing form in detail from the building of the mosque with an aesthetic approach, reviewing objects and selecting the selected ornament giving a classification of the shapes, so that the section became a reference for the author as research material. Based on the analysis of this thesis, the form  of the Hunto Sultan Amay mosque as well as the mosques located in the archipelago and the existence of ornaments in the Hunto Sultan Amay Mosque as a decorative structure support the grandeur of a mosque. On the other hand, Hunto Mosque ornaments reveal a teaching. The form of a teaching is manifested in the form of motives and does not depict living beings in a realist or naturalist manner. the decorative forms of the Hunto Sultan Sultan Mosque in general tend to lead to a form of flora, geometric ornaments, and ornament of calligraphy dominated by the distinctive colors of Islam, namely gold, white, red, yellow and green.
