In the past decade since the introduction of temporary urban discourse promising “faster, lighter, and cheaper” planning and a radical reorganization of power between regulators, land owners, and the public, temporary urbanism has become increasingly integrated in formal planning structures. This paper explores how temporary urbanism is being practiced in Toronto and what impact this formalizing process has had on its ability to achieve its claimed goals of democracy, equity, and diversity. This paper specifically assesses the impact that the City of Toronto’s regulatory framework has had on these goals. It concludes by examining how three other cities have created temporary use frameworks, Amsterdam, London, and Vancouver and highlights what lessons can be transferred to the context of Toronto. Key words: temporary urbanism, policy, equity

Dar es Salaam city, generates massive amount of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipments (WEEE) that either ends up in the environment or kept at home or commercial areas. This study aimed at investigating the currenting WEEE management practices, assessing the level of public awareness on WEEE, and come up with the model that can predict the rate (%) of discarded WEEE. Both the qualitative and qualitative methods of data collection were used, that is the use of questionnaires, and interviews to EEE business people, repair technicians, public, recycling companies and the regulating authority. It was found out that Increase in WEEE within Dar es Salaam city is caused by growth of economic rate, population growth rate, household purchasing capacity, while the decrease of the waste is associated with recycling plans and exportation of the waste. Also, the public (76%) doesn’t consider the broken or expired EEE as waste, as a result they opt to keep them at home than giving them to recyclers or collectors. Even though there are recyclers within the city, they can only recycle 35% of the generated WEEE. If the current situation continues by 2026, about 68% of the generated WEEE will be discarded to the environment or at home or business places. The situation shall be rectified by promoting the WEEE recyclers.

South Street in Philadelphia, which once used to be a dynamic and vivid district with its cosmopolite structure, turned into an abandoned area in the late 1950s. Isaiah Zagar and his wife Julia had moved to this street following Zagar’s depression in 1969, when the street was full of wrecked houses. Mosaic art was a form of rehabilitation for Zagar during his hard days. He started to cover the walls of his house and even some areas on the street with mosaic, and the facades of many buildings on the street became living canvases for Zagar’s art. When the owner of the derelict house next to his studio, which was also applied mosaic art by Zagar, wanted to sell the house in 2002, Zagar strongly objected the idea. Thanks to the attempts of Zagar and a group of supportive local art lovers, the house was opened to the public visits as a museum by an organization called Philadelphia Magic Garden following the trials lasting over two years. After this development, Zagar felt more willing to continue to commit his art and energy to this museum and the city. He lived on the street for 50 years and created 200 mosaic works of art across the city, more than 70 of which are located on South Street. Today, Philadelphia is proud of this open air art gallery, and this exceptional public art environment is the symbol of the city. This paper aims to examine the original mosaic language created by Isaiah Zagar through material variety and methods used. It also presents Zagar’s story of moving to the Street and his unique expression shaped by his previous life experiences. Key Words: Mosaic, Philadelphia’s Magic Garden, Isaiah Zagar, Public Art, Outsider Art.

Informed by institutional entrepreneurship theory and based on the case of waste prevention projects in the City of Göteborg, this paper examines the role of cities in shaping new environmental policies. Structured by the research question, ‘How do cities shape novel environmental policies and practices?’, the paper illustrates how cities become agents of environmental change and institutional entrepreneurship through mobilizing and recombining resources (i.e. human, financial, and spatial), rationales (by reframing symbols, challenging taboos, and transforming waste socio-materialities), and relations (via internal and external collaboration and by creating new institutional arrangements, roles, and expectations). Emerging environmental policies, such as waste prevention, represent the structuring of an incipient environmental policy field. This new generation of environmental policies expands the scope of the public sector (the so-called publicness), reshapes the public/private distinction, and challenges taboos such as the intrusion of publicness into privateness.

In a democratic political system, electoral participation is regarded as a fundamental medium of political self-realisation and as the most straightforward expression of the public opinion of citizens. Voter participation in elections is one of the most characteristic indicators of authority legitimacy. The higher voter participation, the higher legitimacy of a political system will be. However, in the last few decades, we have been witnessing a distinct trend toward the decline in voter turnout in the world and in our country. The purpose of our paper is to examine the trend of electoral behaviour in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, and to confirm the assumption that electoral abstention has begun to increase also in the City Municipality of Ljubljana. On the basis of an empirical research, we want to operationalise some aspects of the theoretical origins of the reasons for abstention from elections to identify the indicators that could clarify the decline in voter turnout. KEY WORDS: • local elections • electoral abstention • voter turnout trend • Ljubljana • capital of Slovenia • city municipality

Abstract The logo of Semarang’s 469th birthday celebration was created by Ibnu Pramudya, the winner of Logo Competition held by the town council of Semarang. The current version of Semarang’s 469th birthday celebration logo consists of number 4,6, and 9 combined together in a unique curve with gradation of red and yellow. The committees and the judges of the competition have requirements for the chosen logo that it must be able to show the vision and mission of Semarang and based on the theme of Semarang’s 469th birthday celebration “Bulatkan Tekat, Semarang Hebat”. The research question would be whether the logo created by Ibnu Pramudya was qualified enough according to the judges and represented the soul of Semarang. By using Semiotic Theory of Charles Sanders Peirce, this logo was analyzed based on the symbols, the used of symbols, and interpreters. It was found that the numbers of 469 created by Ibnu Pramudya was not only unique and attractive, but also it could meet the committees’ and judges’ qualifications. This attractive logo could represent unity and harmony the people of Semarang in developing the city, so that met the qualification of the theme of Semarang’s 469th birthday celebration, “Bulatkan Tekad, Semarang Hebat”. This showed that the message through the logo could be interpreted by the interpreters. Key words: Semiotic, logo, Semarang’s 469th birthday celebration, Charles Sanders Peirce

The Court of Appeals of New York held, in Council of the City of New York u. Giuliani, slip op. 02634, 1999 WL 179257 (N.Y. Mar. 30, 1999), that New York City may not privatize a public city hospital without state statutory authorization. The court found invalid a sublease of a municipal hospital operated by a public benefit corporation to a private, for-profit entity. The court reasoned that the controlling statute prescribed the operation of a municipal hospital as a government function that must be fulfilled by the public benefit corporation as long as it exists, and nothing short of legislative action could put an end to the corporation's existence.In 1969, the New York State legislature enacted the Health and Hospitals Corporation Act (HHCA), establishing the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) as an attempt to improve the New York City public health system. Thirty years later, on a renewed perception that the public health system was once again lacking, the city administration approved a sublease of Coney Island Hospital from HHC to PHS New York, Inc. (PHS), a private, for-profit entity.
