Abstract:

In recent years there has been much political and academic interest in new modes of local governance, which are increasingly based on deliberative mechanisms and aim at engaging larger sectors of the population (i.e. governance by networks, territorial pacts, strategic planning). Whereas the literature on urban governance has focused on the emergence of novel governance arrangements at city and regional levels and on the formation of a collective actor, deliberative democracy scholars have examined the democratic dimension (i.e. the deliberative forums) and assessed the applicability of their

The present thesis examines some aspects of the structure of urban space found in particular towns in the Sahara, and the peculiarities in their dual organisation of the circulation systems: the streets and the roof terraces of the houses inter-connected by another system of walkways, which are exclusively reserved for the circulation of women across the settlements or parts of the settlements. The terrace morphology is developed in different forms and at various degrees of elaboration in these urban systems, which are usually seen as the result of some external determinant factor, such as rel

Abstract:

This thesis attempts to present a new approach to the concepts of continuity and change in historic cities through an analytical investigation of the urban space and structure in the past and present. This has its origin in the belief that the spatial structure of a city is a dynamic product of the interaction between the forces which tend to change the built fabric of the city and the forces which tend to retain it. This conception is the subject of investigation through a comparative analysis of urban structure in six Iranian and six English historic cities. The main discussions of the thesi

This paper brings together the concepts of fiscal health and resilience as they are understood in a contemporary context while seeking to establish whether a quantitative model of analysis can be meaningfully derived and applied to major American cities. Using major recessions from 1977 to 2015 as an exogenous shock, the values for fiscal health are assessed temporally to arrive at an assessment for whether a certain group of cities is inherently more resilient than others. Given subjective nature of the concepts used, this paper also grapples with the fact that any results must be analyzed wi

Abstract:

This paper evaluates the effectiveness of urban planning interventions in interrupting the degenerative socio-spatial cycle which perpetuates division in divided cities. To analyze the abilities of different types of urban planning projects to transform division, this paper implements a new system of classifying urban planning interventions in divided cities, delineating projects by their object, rather than by process. Under this system, urban planners pursue one of three objects: segregation, the creation of integrated spaces, and the transformation of divided space at a micro-spatial level.

While many major cities in the United States are once again gaining population, growing their economies, and attracting talent, many small and mid-sized cities are in decline. The reasons for this growing disparity are multi-faceted. A growing body of research has been exploring planning challenges in declining cities and towns. This body of research—often called “shrinking cities” and “urban shrinkage” research—is premised on the belief that many declining places will continue to shed population, jobs, and industries, and planning smartly for this decline is the only sensible path forward.
