Yallop, Rosemary. "Villa rustica, villa suburbana : Vernacular Italianate architecture in Britain, 1800-1860." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2017. https://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:d391fc9b-a7c8-4d57-9f7d-751b869cecaf.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the emergence and evolution of the Vernacular Italianate style of domestic architecture in Britain. The style was introduced in the form of a series of three country houses by John Nash in the first decade of the nineteenth century. It subsequently evolved over the next five decades into a popular template for the modest suburban house, widely disseminated through the medium of the architectural pattern books. The thesis considers the intellectual sources and antecedents which led to the emergence of this style and influenced its characteristics, analyses Nash's particular vision, and explores how the style was able to make a successful transition from villa rustica to villa suburbana, responding to the social and economic pressures which were at play in the expanding towns of the Regency and early Victorian era. It is a style which has been the subject of limited academic study to date, and the extent and significance of its role as a model villa for the new suburb is a theme which has been central to this research. A case is put forward that the style proliferated for two principal reasons: its versatility and adaptability for houses of differing physical scale and location, and its informal charm, inexpensively achieved, which conferred an air of sophistication appropriate to contemporary social aspiration. Nevertheless, as its popularity and accessibility grew over time the intellectual and aesthetic basis which underlay its origins as a product of the Picturesque aesthetic tended to be misunderstood or overlooked entirely, and by the 1860s the style had become diluted, frequently reduced to a matter of exterior detailing, with little reference either to Picturesque composition or to relationship between house and landscape, in contradiction of the tenets of Picturesque architecture propounded in the late eighteenth century, and in complete antithesis to the approach of John Nash in his original and distinctive Italianate interpretation.

AlHemaidi, Waleed Kassab. "The dilemma of regulating privacy : planning regulations, privacy and house form : the case study of low-density single-family dwellings in Saudi Arabia." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 1996. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1349878/.
Full textAbstract:
The object of this research is the exploration of the effects of planning regulations on house form and privacy in low-density single-family dwellings (villas) in the context of Saudi Arabian cities. The research explores two main issues: firstly, the importance and the effects of privacy violation between neighbouring villas through overlooking on their residents' behaviour and use of house spaces; and secondly, to investigate the residents' preferred house form. To assess these two issues practically, seven suburbs from three different cities, representing large (Riyadh), medium (Tabuk) and small (Haqil) urban centres in Saudi Arabia were selected for carrying out a questionnaire survey. The selection of these suburbs was intended to represent, as far as possible, the different social groups in Saudi Arabian society. The population of the survey was the villa residents in these suburbs, who were asked questions regarding their use of house yards and windows, and tested on their awareness of planning regulations, and the effects of these regulations on house form and degree of privacy. The respondents were also asked about their preferred house form. The results indicated that privacy is considered an important issue by residents, and the effects of privacy violation, through neighbours overlooking each others' houses, were very clearly seen on the residents' reduced use of overlooked yards, compared to those not overlooked, as well as through the construction of extra fences to block overlooking from neighbouring houses. Although the residents showed a high degree of awareness about the effects of the villa house form on the high degree of overlooking, they showed a far greater preference for living in villas rather than attached courtyard house forms. The final conclusion of the research demonstrates the failure of the present planning regulations to promote an acceptable house form that allows for a reasonably sufficient degree of privacy protection. While some research and housing schemes have promoted house forms different from that of the villa, these have proved to be unacceptable and were rejected by residents. The recommendation of the current research is that efforts to find a solution to the problem should instead focus upon means to reduce the effects or degree of privacy violation between neighbouring houses, while maintaining the popular house form of the villa.

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2005.Includes bibliographical references (p. 218-241).
As the capital of the Umayyad dynasty (r. 756 CE-1031 CE), the city of Cordoba developed into one of the most renowned urban centers of the western Mediterranean. The Great Mosque of Cordoba is the outstanding testament to the architectural activities of the dynasty, yet textual and material evidence indicates that the Great Mosque was but one facet of a broader program of Umayyad patronage. The dissertation focuses on the dynasty's secular monuments - the suburban villas (Arabic munya, p. munan) constructed around the city by the Umayyad rulers and their courtiers. It analyzes the munya as a medieval architectural, landscape, and social phenomenon. By addressing issues of function, patronage, and meaning, the dissertation utilizes Cordoban villas as a vehicle for the investigation of Umayyad court society. The dissertation is divided into two parts. Part One (Chapters I-IV) defines the architectural characteristics and agricultural functions of the munya. Part Two analyzes the social functions of the Cordoban estates as settings for Umayyad court activities, and the meanings associated with estate patronage and the Umayyad construction of a villa landscape.
(cont.) The dissertation contextualizes the munya within a broader constellation of Mediterranean villas and villa culture, and argues that the munya tradition informed subsequent developments in palace architecture on the Iberian Peninsula. Cordoban villas provided significant revenue for the state and patrons, supplied the court with the luxury crops considered necessary to refined life, served as settings for court activities, and demonstrated status and power among the Umayyad ruling class. The Cordoban rulers therefore attached a strong ideological importance to the estates. With the establishment of the caliphate in the tenth century, Cordoba's fertile villa landscape became entwined with Umayyad notions of sovereignty and good governance, in which a fertile landscape was conflated with political legitimacy, a theme that is also apparent in Umayyad court literature. Thus, the dissertation demonstrates that an appreciation of the many links between the villas and the Cordoban ruling class is central to comprehending Umayyad court society.

Full textAbstract:
After over two decades of'doi moi', with rapid changes taking place in the economy, it is inevitable that there will also be significant social changes. This research aimed to provide a detailed ethnographic exploration in the area of maternity practices, health care and health services in their socio-economic context, in order to further sociological understanding of maternity care both by women and health professionals. At the heart is the hypothesis that women's' perspectives and their activities in daily life and in maternity care would reflect key aspects of these socio-economic changes. This research shows how women in a period of pregnancy and childbirth are deeply interwoven with their everyday experiences of domestic responsibilities and economic contributions. On the other hand, pregnancy and childbirth are closely linked to women's ideas ofthe 'happy family' and their status in family and society. This research also examines how socio-cultural factors influence the utilization of maternal health. care providers and services. In fact, by exploring the maternity practice and utilisation of health care service and health care provision, the broader aim of the research is to generate relevant socio-cultural information to assist in the development of safe motherhood intervention programs and to fulfil the gap between the actual needs and provision in health care at a grassroots level in the socio-culture context. The focus of my research is the dialectical relation between two reciprocally related orientations: it is to study the social, cultural and economic influences to maternity care practices and how these practices contribute to the socio-cultural ideas concerning maternity care at the grassroots level in a transitional society.

Full textAbstract:
The ubiquitous North American suburban model has created devastating challenges for successful community life in the twenty-first century. This thesis addresses those challenges through the transformation of the existing suburban model into networked pedestrian villages. The urban and architectural design strategies of the networked village reintegrate community programs, workplaces, and residences to create self-sustaining, socially integrated community life for the twenty first century. The specific suburban town of Richmond Hill was chosen to study how greater densification and mixed-use zoning are necessary at the regional scale. Within Richmond Hill, the neighbourhood of Bayview Hills is adapted through changes in building types, setbacks, street definition, and a central public space. The creation of the new village hall and community telecentre are necessary to define the central public space and to generate the successful urban transformation from suburban neighbourhood to networked village.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis discusses suburban villages (and, indirectly, also villages that are even further away from urban areas), their current character, and their changes over the course of history. Most Bohemian, Moravian and Silesian municipalities struggle with persistent issues, such as the decline of their primarily agrarian function (and the unattractiveness of this lifestyle for the younger generations), changes in demographic composition (the exodus of natives to cities, and their replacement by “weekenders“), the lower purchase power of rural areas (due to lower wages in agriculture and the lack of other job opportunities), insufficient traffic infrastructure, unclear property relations, the loss of their own identity due to the closeness of a core city, and uncontrolled suburbanisation which transforms both villages and their environment. The end effects of these issues are depopulation of rural areas, ageing of current inhabitants and unfavourable prospects for the future. On the other hand, the situation in neighbouring Bavaria seems to be the exact opposite. Bavaria hasn't experienced collectivisation, and a communist dictatorship hasn't cut the ties of local inhabitants towards their lands and properties which have been in their families for centuries. Many issues encountered in the Czech Republic are therefore unknown here, and villages that happen to be near urban areas tend to grow in a natural way while retaining their original rural and local identities. The superior infrastructure network enables better mobility of the populace, which allows the people to commute longer distances. However, they can still spend their time in their actual place of residence, and they often proudly consider themselves a part of the local social life and of the local community – not of the core city. Therefore the goal of the thesis is to compare Czech and Bavarian villages in terms of sustainable development, using specific examples, to analyse which elements are better in which system, and to compare whether it is possible to apply the principles of sustainability which are used in Bavaria to the sustainable development of Czech countryside.

La croissance urbaine dans les pays en voie de developpement est devenue aujourd'hui une preoccupation constante aussi bien de la part des pouvoirs publics des pays concernes que de celle des organismes internationaux. Pour ce qui concerne la region africaine, le phenomene d'urbanisation y revet de plus en plus des proportions de nature a retenir davantage l'attention. Meme les villes de l'interieur, qui jusque-la etaient moins concernees, ont commence a enregistrer des taux d'accroissement considerables de leur population. Thies, la deuxieme ville du senegal, n'est pas en reste. Elle connait une augmentation reguliere du nombre de ses habitants. Ceci a eu pour corollaire une extension constante de l'aire urbaine, laquelle mord chaque jour davantage sur le voisinage semi-rural. De fait, les communautes villageoises limitrophes sont assaillies en permanence par le fait urbain. Aucun aspect de la vie de banlieue n'est a present epargne. Il en va tant de la vie socio-economique que de la vie socio-culturelle. De sorte que presentement, du fait de l'influence de la ville des mutations irreversibles, sont en train de se produire en zone peripherique, qui s'accentueront encore plus avec le developpement urbain de thies. Notamment avec la realisation de toutes les decisions d'investissement retenues d'ici l'an 2000 et qui ont ou non connu un debut d'execution. Il apparait vraisemblablement que toutes les localites de la banlieue thiesoise finiront a moyen et long terme par devenir quartiers exterieurs de la villeUrban growth in developping countries has now become a permanent preoccupation as well the public lowers of the concerned countries as international organisations. With regard the african region, the phenomenon of urbanisme is taking proportions of a kind to retain more attention. Even the smaller towns which were so far less concerned have begun to register population increase rates. Thiees, the second town of senegal is not to be excluded. We observe a regular augmentation of the number of its inhabitants. The consequence is a constant enlargement of the urban area which spreads every day more into the semi-rural proximity. Thus bordering communities are constantly touched of urbanism process. Not a single aspect in the life suburb is now spared. So it is with socio-economical as well as socio-cultural aspects of life. So that presently, due to the influence of the town irreversible mutations are occuring in suburbans areas which will reach even higher peak with progressing urbanisme of thies. In particular after the realisation of all investment from now to the year 2000 wether or not they were already initiated. It appears very likely that all suburban regions of thies will sooner or later simply become districts of the town

Full textAbstract:
This PhD research focuses on rural governance in the context of Mainland China. It focuses on three aspects of the changing rural governance: 1) internalization of the state-sponsored reforms for rural democratization, 2) external intervention and mediation of the human agents for policy implementation, and 3) dispute settlement. Drawing upon the three above-mentioned aspects, this study aims to dissect the interactive processes of China’s rural governance over the ongoing urbanisation of small-to-medium-sized cities. The fieldwork utilizes iterative-inductive ethnography as the research methodology. It additionally adopts the theoretical framework of social constructionism and actor-oriented perspectives to interpret the changing rural governance and employs interface analysis to examine the ethnographic data. It finds that the outcome of rural governance in the selected villages is greatly influenced by the interaction of the human agents’ capabilities and the (emerging) structural forces. In particular, various actors not only construct the emerging power structure but make use of their own knowledge, power relations, discursive practices, and innovate strategies to accommodate, negotiate and compromise with the external forces to solve problems emerging out of rural governance. Simultaneously, structural factors limit the scope of the actors’ choices, and the opportunities for strategies concerning rural governance. In terms of the representativeness of the selected samples, it firstly could reflect on the possible trajectories of rural governance over the next decade for the urbanisation of small-to-medium-sized cities, which is promoted by both the central and local governments. Secondly, the selected samples represent the changing rural governance in villages that feature Hakka culture and history. Further research should be taken on villages consisting of different cultural contexts and political-economic conditions in order to expand on this research as the representativeness of the samples is limited to the specific contexts under study.

Subject of thesis are suburban zones of cities in direct contact with willages. Their phisical urban structures as well as their development in time and processes witch affects these changes. Despite that a different european countries has different systems of spatial planning, they allwys have three main levels of planning process. These layers are: Strategic planning, regulation level and execution level. What differs is tunig of this system and wights of importance set on different „layers“. This tuning has a substential impact on way how are the cities and urban structures developer. This tuning of spatial planning systém has huge impact on physical structure and form of cities. Every setting of system brings differnt possibilities of solving problems. In both schort-term and long-term development processes. This thesis will therefore examine affects of different settings of spatial planning system in Czech Republic and Federal Republic of Germany (In specific terms – Free state of Bavaria, region of Upper Palatinate) and its long-term afffects on phisical structure of cities. With empahsis on ways in which historical village structures integrate in city structure and transform in cities districts. Goal of thesis is effort to analyse results of these two spatial planning systems. And mainly in suburban zones affected by development axes of bigger cities. Thesis will compare urban and suburban structures of two cities in two different countries. Analysed example for Czech republic is Brno. As Bavarian example stands Regensburg (as a city of comparable structure). One of important criteria is ability of systéms to effectively capture and use all of territorys development potential and possibiliteis and therefore – ability to create viable and susteinable land systems. In suburban spaces where City systems meets suburban and village systems is intensive use of existing structures and active work with subcenters crutial to susteinable development of cities.

Full textAbstract:
The inner-ring suburbs of major metropolitan areas such as Washington, DC are either being redeveloped already or are poised to be redeveloped over the next several decades. The engineered 'gray' infrastructure networks in these areas, largely put in place between 100 and 75 years ago, are aging and reaching the end of their useful life. New developments are being funded by real estate investment trusts and developers and are being welcomed by municipalities and a public that are often genuinely inspired to create the more livable places of the future. Such redevelopments provide a unique opportunity not to just import new 'green' features, but to reimagine the fundamental connections between ecological, human, and non-human systems within the fabric of the larger community in a way that profoundly improves the cognitive experience of a place for the people and wildlife that reside there.
The project begins by recognizing this opportunity and posing a question. Through thoughtful design, how can we bring people back into balance with their environment and back into touch with each other? By working with the cultural and built fabric of a place, the project proposes to reintroduce ecological systems and create places that might not be a perfect clean slate but are somehow just right for the people that live there. The project proceeds first by developing an understanding of the overall ecological context for each of four primary development corridors in Virginia, west of Washington, D.C. across the Potomac River. Then, key intersections between stream systems and the development corridors are identified and assessed to determine (a) whether any existing landscape framework surrounding the stream feature is in place and (b) whether the amenities necessary to support a walkable Urban Village center are present within a half mile in each direction along the route.
The project proposes a design for revealing a continuous flow stream channel currently piped underground and creating integrated stormwater detention basins along the historic stream channel path at the headwaters of Spout Run in northern Arlington County Virginia. Stormwater mains downstream from the headwaters have already been deemed below capacity for the unprecedentedly intense storms that have become an annual occurrence. Here, the major transportation and development corridor, Route 29 (Lee Highway), just across the Potomac River west of Washington D.C, crosses Glebe Road and a unique geological formation, dubbed for this thesis as the 'Headwaters Plateau'. It is an intersection between historically significant transportation routes as well as a unique intersection between landscape and the built environment. Around the Headwaters Plateau, not just Spout Run but the waters of four other streams begin their path to the Potomac River, flowing through numerous Arlington County neighborhoods along the way. As redevelopment plans take shape for the Lee Highway corridor through northern Arlington County, this thesis proposes the unique intersection between the Headwaters Plateau at Spout Run Gap along Route 29 as the site for the core of a modern Urban Village, with the Plateau and the Spout Run Headwaters Channel as the landscape framework around which the redeveloping Village should be built.Master of Landscape Architecture
This thesis proposes a design for revealing a continuous flow stream channel currently piped underground and creating integrated stormwater detention basins along the historic stream channel path at the headwaters of Spout Run in northern Arlington County, Virginia. Stormwater mains downstream from the headwaters have already been deemed below capacity for the unprecedentedly intense storms that have become an annual occurrence. Here, the major transportation and development corridor, Route 29 (Lee Highway), just across the Potomac River west of Washington D.C, crosses Glebe Road and a unique geological formation, dubbed for the purpose of this thesis as the 'Headwaters Plateau'.

Through design, this thesis is an investigation of the potential integration of ecological systems such as stream hydrology into the design of modern 'Urban Villages' with the intent to create impactful individual experiences that provide a shared sense of connection within the community to its surrounding landscape. Throughout the country, redevelopment plans are focused on creating increased-density 'mixed-use' communities within existing urban and suburban areas - often called Urban Villages in the lexicon of the New Urbanism planning theory. This represents a move away from the predominant approach of separation of land use zoning practices. Such redevelopments provide a unique opportunity to not only import new 'green' features, but to reimagine the fundamental connections between ecological, human, and non-human systems within the fabric of the larger community in a way that profoundly improves the cognitive experience of a place for the people and wildlife that reside there.

Les villes de la période moderne sont généralement définies comme un ensemble d’habitants bénéficiant de privilèges communs et vivant derrière des fortifications. Cette définition simple apparaît cependant restrictive. En effet, le territoire urbain ne se limitait pas à cette période aux limites symboliques matérialisées par les murailles. Tant morphologiquement que fiscalement ou économiquement, les faubourgs étaient les extensions naturelles de la cité en dehors du territoire primitif préalablement défini par le tracé des remparts. Cette thèse propose donc d’étudier précisément ces espaces longtemps oubliés de l’historiographie et par là même redéfinir la notion de ville moderne en FranceModern towns are generally pictured like a group of inhabitants enjoying common privileges and living behind fortifications. This simple definition sounds limited and restrictive. Indeed, at that time the urban territory was not limited to the symbolical limits represented by the fortifications.

This doctoral thesis indeed highlights the study of these spaces which have been ignored in the historiography and thereby redefines the notion of the modern city in France

Full textAbstract:
Les premières couronnes de banlieue parisienne et new-yorkaises, anciens espaces industriels, sont le territoire privilégié de l’expansion spatiale de la centralité parisienne recomposée par la globalisation de l’économie. Les conséquences spatiales de ces évolutions bouleversent les ordonnances et les hiérarchies existantes au sein des agglomérations urbaines. Les premières couronnes ont traversé une période de désindustrialisation et des phénomènes de crise économique, sociale et urbaine. Mais depuis les années 1980, elles sont confrontées à une recomposition économique du centre de l’agglomération, qui les confronte aux conséquences de la globalisation. Une typologie permet de distinguer différents types de choix. Certains espaces s’orientent résolument vers le tertiaire supérieur et l’installation d’une population de cadres aisés. A l’inverse, d’autres connaissent des évolutions économiques et sociales divergentes (intégration économique, pauvreté des habitants). Enfin, d’autres espaces s’orientent vers des fonctions résidentielles. Les politiques urbaines ont eu un rôle majeur dans l’évolution de ces premières couronnes, par le biais de régulations nouvelles entre les stratégies publique et privée. Cette thèse montre que les transformations récentes de ces territoires ne dépend pas seulement du contexte local, mais aussi d’héritages liés aux politiques urbaines, bien que les deux contextes étudiés soient très différents. De fait, les politiques urbaines tendent à produire des effets et des paysages urbains similaires, le paradigme de la croissance économique restant dominantIn the core of Paris’ and New York metropolitan areas, former industrial spaces have undergone a massive restructuring of their productive and social profile. Global cities have dramatically changed for the past 30 years : their centres have regained economic power, and been gentrified. In particular, “peri-central spaces” or “first suburbs” faced a period of decline and deindustrialization, losing jobs and population, facing pauperization and unemployment. However, from the 1980s on, they are being restructured in connection with their specific spatial position neighbouring the center and are confronted with the impacts of globalization. Most spaces are oriented towards production, attracting office development and business services. Some poles of excellence have particularly gained from this restructuring while their population gentrified, and are competing fiercely for investment. Others are destructured urban areas where the economic and social evolutions are diverging (economic redevelopment versus increased poverty of the residents). Finally, other spaces remain more residential, with diverging social evolutions. Urban policies had a key impact on the evolution of first suburbs, the conjunction of private and public strategies creating the conditions for their redevelopment. This thesis shows that the recent transformation of these territories does not only depend on the local context, but also on long-term heritages and therefore on the choices implemented by local public strategies, be it in two very different contexts. As a matter of facts, urban policies tend to produce similar effects and urban landscapes, mostly because of the dominance of the growth paradigm

Full textAbstract:
La structure urbaine dite « radioconcentrique multipolaire » de Paris, irradiant ses faubourgs d’enceinte en enceinte, et la structure urbaine de Séoul multipliant ses péricentres en une sorte de « dispersion multipolaire », nécessitent deux analyses urbanistiques différentes. Tout d’abord, concernant l’urbanisme de la ville de Paris, nous chercherons à saisir « l’esprit » des faubourgs, en supposant que le caractère spécifique d’un faubourg relève de l’accumulation progressive du temps vécu en un même lieu. Les tentatives de résolution des problèmes urbains rencontrés par des populations appartenant à diverses couches sociales, défi auquel chaque ville est confrontée, passent ici par des alternatives tenant compte de cette juxtaposition. Cela revient à « rebâtir la ville sur la ville » sans rien perdre de ses richesses humaines. Au moins dans l’idéal. Nous illustrerons cette approche en étudiant les théories avancées par Paul-Henri Chombart de Lauwe, Gaston Bardet, Robert Auzelle, etc., qui proposent une « ville essentielle » tout en critiquant les « villes formelles ». En revanche, Séoul continue de produire encore aujourd’hui une « ville sans âme », en s’adonnant essentiellement à la multiplication des immeubles d’appartements et ce, en ne tenant pas compte de l’esprit des lieux. Cependant, contrairement au renoncement de Paris aux « grands ensembles », marqué par le retour du pavillonnaire et du logement individuel à la fin des années 1970, ce type de développement connait dans la capitale sud-coréenne un grand succès en tant que moyen d’enrichissement rapide des classes les plus riches, qui recourent systématiquement à des spéculations immobilières. De ce fait, nous observons l’accélération de ce phénomène social bien connu voulant que les riches s’enrichissent et que les pauvres s’appauvrissent. Dans cette thèse, nous avons comparé le projet de réaménagement, plus exactement de renouvellement, de trois quartiers parisiens, à savoir le Marais, la Goutte d’Or et Château-Rouge, d’une part, avec le projet de refondation de deux quartiers séouliens, Seochon et Wangsibri, d’autre part. Cela nous a permis de confronter deux approches urbanistiques opposées. Au-delà des déterminismes géographiques, historiques et culturels des deux situations, nous pensons avoir apporté des éléments de réflexion pour appréhender ce que pourrait être notre « futur urbanisme »The multipolar radial-concentric urban structure of Paris, spreading out from the centre along divergent ancient roads through what was once a series of encircling walls, and the urban structure of Seoul that is characterised by the multiplication of pericentres in a pattern known as "multipolar dispersion", necessitate contrasting approaches to urban planning analysis . First of all, when looking at urban planning in the city of Paris, we try to grasp the spirit of the old faubourgs, assuming that the specific character of a historic neighbourhood is rooted in the collective experiences of all those who have lived in the same place over time. Attempts to solve urban problems faced by populations from varying social strata living side by side, a challenge that each city faces, have inspired alternatives that take this juxtaposition into account. This amounts to rebuilding “a city upon the city” whilst losing none of its human value. Ideally at least. We enrich this approach through a consideration of the theories advanced by Paul-Henri Chombart de Lauwe, Gaston Bardet, Robert Auzelle and others, which value the concept of the "essential city" as opposed to the "formal city". Seoul, on the other hand, continues to grow a “city with no soul”, concentrating essentially on the multiplication of apartment blocks with little regard for any spirit of neighbourhood. However, unlike Paris's renunciation of collective housing estates, marked by a return of individual housing developments from the late 1970s, apartment block development in the South Korean capital is much appreciated as a successful means of rapidly enriching the wealthiest classes, who invest heavily in such speculation. As a result, we are witnessing an acceleration of a well-known social phenomenon whereby the rich get rich and the poor get poorer. In this thesis, we examine the renovation (French concept of renouvellement) of three Parisian districts, namely the Marais, the Goutte d'Or and Château-Rouge, on the one hand, with the redevelopment project (refondation) of two districts of Seoul, Seochon and Wangsibri, on the other. This allows us to compare opposing approaches to urban planning. Beyond the geographical, historical and cultural determinants of the two situations, we hope to provide useful elements of reflection that might abet the evolution of the current urban planning approach in our own city of Seoul

Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Minas GeraisThe objective of this paper consists on comprehending social and spacial processes concerning Uberlandia's Downtown Suburban Area (Zona Periférica do Centro - ZPC), from the analysis of use and accupancy of the land. To reach this purpose, bibliographic sources about the subject have been consulted, from the classic approaches until the most recent ones. Local newspaper and information from surveying and camp observation has been used as well. As methodological orientation, the base was the studies form Murphy and Vance Jr (1967[1954]), adapted to Uberlandia's specificities. This paper is structured in five chapters. The first is aimed to provide a theoretical and conceptual base to the present subject. The second chapter discusses questions referred to middle cities, specially its urbanistic instruments and urban organization in Uberlandia. The third chapter is reserved to contextualization of the object of this research alongside the development of the city. The fourth chapter is focused on presenting the methodology used in the research and survey. The fifth chapter brings the analysis of the (re)configuration and dynamics of the central area, attention given to the ZPC. With the present paper, it's noticeacle that, due to Uberlandia's characteristics as a middle city, relatively new and in progressive development, its central area, despite a certain "decadence" from the descentralization started on 1980's, remains important to the city, as a whole, as well as this area presents "subespaços", easily found in the reality of the large cities, although with forms, purposes and processes very specific to its realities. Its ZPC is descontinuous, with very particular dynamism, due to the presence of determined typology of commerce and service activities that assure its importance to the combination of the city and region, as well as, its interrelation to the central core. Such as it is, the dynamics of this area is to be reinforced by the emergency of new values and principles that lead to actions of requalification of the central area.
O objetivo deste trabalho consiste-se em compreender os processos socioespaciais na Zona Periférica do Centro (ZPC) de Uberlândia (MG) a partir da análise do uso e ocupação do solo. Para seu alcance, recorreu-se às bibliografias que abordassem a temática, dos estudos clássicos até aqueles mais recentes, aperfeiçoados com base naqueles, buscou-se informações em fontes como os jornais locais, além dos levantamentos e observações de campo. Como encaminhamento metodológico, baseouse na proposta de Murphy e Vance Jr (1967[1954]), com algumas adaptações às especificidades de Uberlândia. O trabalho está estruturado em cinco capítulos. O primeiro capítulo destina-se a fundamentação teórico-conceitual sobre a temática em foco. No segundo capítulo são abordadas as questões referentes às cidades médias, aos instrumentos urbanísticos e à organização urbana de Uberlândia. O terceiro capítulo é reservado à contextualização do objeto de pesquisa no decorrer do desenvolvimento de Uberlândia. O quarto capítulo é voltado para a realização da exposição das metodologias utilizadas no processo de pesquisa. E no quinto capítulo, tem-se as análises das (re)configurações e dinâmicas da área central com enfoque na ZPC. Com a pesquisa percebeu-se que, em função das características de Uberlândia, uma cidade média, relativamente nova e com uma série de processos em curso, sua área central, apesar de uma relativa decadência em função da descentralização iniciada na década de 1980, mantém a importância no conjunto da cidade, bem como apresenta subespaços, comumentemente encontrados na realidade das metrópoles, porém com formas, funções e processos específicos à sua realidade. Sua ZPC apresenta-se de forma descontínua, com um dinamismo particular, em função da presença de determinadas tipologias de atividades de comércio e serviços que garantem a sua importância para o conjunto da cidade e região, bem como a interrelação com o núcleo central. Sendo que, a dinâmica desta área tende ser reforçada com a emergência de novos valores que implicaram nas ações de requalificação da área central.

Full textAbstract:
Alors que la démolition tend à s'imposer au sein de l'intervention publique sur le parc HLM des années 1950-1970, ce mode d'action commence aussi à être utilisé en réponse aux problèmes rencontrés par des tours et des barres en copropriété. On peut cependant se demander si les difficultés d'un grand ensemble en copropriété sont assimilables à celles d'un grand ensemble HLM et si la démolition ne prend pas un sens différent dans ce contexte particulier. Pour répondre à ces questions, cette thèse étudie l'une des premières copropriétés des trente glorieuses qui a fait l'objet d'une action publique et de démolitions : Les Bosquets à Clichy-sous-Bois/Montfermeil (93). En explorant l'histoire de cet ensemble immobilier, cette recherche montre que les problèmes qu'il a connus sont propres au statut juridique de la copropriété. Ils sont principalement dus à des difficultés de gestion, liées aux financements publics qui sont à l'origine de sa construction, à la conjoncture immobilière dans laquelle il a été livré et à des malfaçons juridiques. Or, cette dimension propre à la gestion n'a pas été prise en compte au sein de l'intervention publique déployée sur ce site depuis 1981. Celle-ci a transposé à la copropriété les schémas cognitifs et normatifs appliqués aux ensembles HLM de même typologie architecturale et urbaine. Privilégiant la démolition, les restructurations du bâti et la diversification du peuplement, l'action publique a aggravé les déséquilibres de gestion de la copropriété. Le relogement a constitué un nouveau facteur de fragilisation des trajectoires des ménages – en particulier des propriétaires occupants – déjà fortement pénalisés par les difficultés de la copropriétéWhile demolition of public rental housing projects from the 1960s and 1970s is an obvious public intervention nowadays, we are starting to witness a similar handling of condominium tower blocks. However, one may ask whether similar interventions for these two different housing types lead to different outcomes. To answer these questions, this thesis analyses one of the first condominium project from the Trente Glorieuses period (1945-1975) that was the target of such intervention : Les Bosquets located in Clichy sous Bois/Montfermeil (a Parisian suburb). Looking at the history of that housing complex, this research shows that the problems relate to the legal status of the joint ownership. These problems arose from management difficulties linked to the public financing that has permitted its construction, to the real estate circumstances of its delivery, and to juridical defects. It appears that this management dimension wasn't considered by the public intervention implemented at that site since 1981. Cognitive and normative patterns originally applied to moderate rental estates with similar architectural and urban typology were simply transferred to the condominium. Favouring demolition, redevelopments of the building, and diversification of residents, public interventions have aggravated imbalances in the management of the condominium. Rehousing has also participated in the weakening of the residential itineraries of the households (especially owner occupiers) already strongly penalised by the condominium's difficulties

Full textAbstract:
Saint-Denis, ville populaire et limitrophe de Paris est particulièrement impactée par l’habitat insalubre. Comment une ville communiste qui promeut une politique inclusive traite la question de l’habitat insalubre et quels sont les enjeux géopolitiques derrière la résorption de cet habitat ? Concernant les bidonvilles, les élus de Saint-Denis se sont fait les porte-voix de cette question à l’échelle nationale et mènent plusieurs projets d’insertion sur le territoire. Ceux-ci relèvent plus, en l’absence de politique nationale, d’un bricolage et se heurtent au manque de moyens, au problème de relogement et parfois à la réaction de certains riverains. Quant à l’insalubrité des immeubles, elle persiste malgré trente ans de politiques publiques, en raison de la faible efficacité des politiques incitatives, de la paupérisation de la ville et de la logique de marché qui a attiré des propriétaires bailleurs d’abord intéressés par la rentabilité des biens. Depuis 2008, la municipalité concentre ses efforts sur le centre-ville via un important programme de rénovation urbaine (un Programme National de requalification des Quartiers Anciens Dégradés – PNRQAD), qui s’inscrit dans une stratégie de valorisation du centre-ville pour attirer des propriétaires plus à même d’entretenir le bâti. La mise en place du PNRQAD soulève des enjeux de peuplement, d’image et d’évolution sociologique du centre-ville, d’autant plus que les communistes sont politiquement en difficulté. Ils se retrouvent pris dans une contradiction majeure : changer l’image de Saint-Denis pour contribuer à un meilleur entretien du bâti favorise une évolution du peuplement qui leur sera défavorable électoralementSaint-Denis, a working class city in the suburb of Paris, is particularly impacted by run-down housing. How does a communist city that promotes an inclusive politics, addresses the question of degraded housing and what are the geopolitical stakes behind the resorption of this type of habitat? Saint-Denis’ elected officials have become outspoken on the question of slums at the national level and lead several projects for inserting their inhabitants in the territory. Those are however more akin to patch-up jobs considering the absence of a national policy and they face the lack of funding, the problem of rehousing, and sometimes negative reactions from other residents. With regards to apartment buildings’ insalubrity, it remains a problem despite thirty years of public policies. This is due to the low efficiency of incentivizing policies, city pauperization, and market-based solutions that attract landlords more interested in economic returns than good maintenance. Since 2008, city hall concentrates its efforts on the downtown area through a major program of urban renewal (PNRQAD), as part of a strategy to revalorize it to attract owners that would maintain housing’s upkeep. The implementation of the PNRQAD raises questions on issues of settlement, image, and sociological evolution of the downtown area, all the more so now that communists are faced with a rising socialist party. Communist elected officials therefore now face an internal contradiction: changing Saint-Denis’ image with the purpose of increasing the quality of housing conditions favors a settlement pattern that will be electorally detrimental to them

Full textAbstract:
L’idée d’une thèse s’intéressant aux environs proches, au périurbain d’une ville vient d’une constatation : la plupart des études réalisées sur le phénomène urbain au Moyen Âge, que ce soient des monographies de villes, des études archéologiques…, traitent principalement de l’espace, de la topographie intra-muros. Ce travail a donc pour but d’étudier une ville dans un ensemble plus large, en examinant ce qui se trouve dans les environs proches de l’enceinte et en laissant de côté, pour une fois, l’intérieur des remparts. Dans cette optique, il étudie la composition, l’organisation géographique, et l’évolution topographique du périurbain de la ville durant une période allant de la fin du Moyen Âge à l’époque moderne. Il s’agit de se poser la question des rapports entre la ville et son périurbain, en voyant comment elle l’utilise et en quoi il lui est nécessaire. Afin de contourner l’écueil de la monographie, trop facilement susceptible de traiter d’un cas « exception », cette recherche met en comparaison trois villes de même nature, Reims, Metz et Strasbourg, toutes trois villes épiscopales, d’origine romaine et de plus de 10.000 habitants au cours de la période étudiéeThe idea of a PhD on the close vicinity, the ‘periurban’ area of a city, stems from an observation: most of the studies done on the urban phenomenon in the Middle Ages, whether cities monographs or archeological studies, focus mainly on the intramural space and topography. To the contrary, the current work aims to study a city in a broader whole, through the review of the close vicinity of the precinct, and ignoring, for once, which is inside the walls. In this regard, it studies the composition, the geographical organization and the topographic evolution of the ‘periurban’ area of the city, during a period from the end of the Middle Ages to the modern era. Its questioning focuses on the relationship between the city and its ‘periurban’, how it uses it, and how it needs it. In order to prevent the too common risk for monographs of addressing an ‘exception’, this research draws a comparison between three cities, Reims, Metz and Strasbourg, similar in that they all are Episcopal cities, of roman origin and counting more than 10.000 inhabitants during the period studied

This study used urban space transform as a research and discussed the process of how the Yamato Village Taichung transformed from semi-urban Area into urban in terms of「 urban trend」and「area inertia」. Following different stages of trend of semi-urban expansion, the statement of this study is about the「space (physical space and space significance), and especially at the house-land relationship (house-land ownership house-land proportion) of spacce significance. By the different level between changing and unchanging in stage, this study also tried to explain the influence of inertia, explore the urban enclave deeplier, and clarify role of the effect of urban trend and area inertia in urban enclave development. Therefre, how the space of Japanese built-up environment, which formed during Japanese Occupation Age, influenced the later ones explained more reasonably here.

The current model of suburban development in Canadian cities has serious consequences for the natural environment. The ubiquitous landscape of sprawl consumes excessive amounts of greenfield land and natural resources, while maintaining an artificial relationship with nature that is more concerned with the aesthetics of lawns and trees than with natural ecosystems.
This thesis proposes a new planning paradigm that is derived from the ideals of the Garden City, but is steeped in the notion of green infrastructure as the foundation for ecological health. It makes use of greenbelts and greenways as circulation systems for people, plants, wildlife, water, and natural processes.
The towns of Newmarket and Aurora, which are situated within a pocket of developable land amid the Greater Toronto Area Greenbelt, are selected as a case study area. An in-depth analysis of the cultural and natural ecosystems that function at various scales across the region provides the framework upon which the design is structure.
The design is twofold. First, it is primarily a planning thesis with an ecological approach to design. It provides a working methodology for green infrastructure at the regional scale, and illustrates a schematic plan for a sustainable metropolitan village, “Leslie Village”, that is tied to Newmarket and Aurora’s existing suburban fabric. Secondly, it illustrates the schematic design response to the planning thesis, by providing nominal visualizations of key areas where the proposed greenway intersects public space. Leslie Village challenges the traditional model of development and provides a new planning system whose methods and principles can be transferred to other communities in the GTA, and across the country.

Makker, Kirin. "Building Main Street: Village Improvement and the Small Town Ideal." 2010. https://scholarworks.umass.edu/open_access_dissertations/296.
Full textAbstract:
Before the American small town was enshrined as an ideal, it was a space of dynamic and pioneering progressive reform, a narrative that has been largely untold in histories of professional planning and landscape history. Archival research shows that village improvement was not simply a prequel to the City Beautiful in the years following the 1893 Chicago Expo, but a rich and complex history that places the residential village at the center of debates about the middle landscape as a civic realm comprised of complimentary and oppositional pastoral and urban worldviews. The second half of the nineteenth century saw an extensive movement in village improvement that affected the physical, economic, and social infrastructure of rural settlements of all sizes in every region of the country. As a concept referenced by planners working on comprehensively-designed suburban communities, the small town ideal has never been historicized with respect to the history and theory of the nineteenth century village landscape improvements. This study broadens the study of village improvement to include the history of ideas and debates surrounding rural development on the national and local level between the 1820s and 1880s and, in doing so, argues that the discussion-born theory of village improvement within a national rural reform movement led by some of the nineteenth century's most respected and influential reformers including B.G. Northrop (education), Col. George Waring (sanitation), N.H. Egleston (conservation), Isabella Beecher Hooker (women's rights), and F.L. Olmsted, Sr. (landscape architecture) was modeled on the Laurel Hill Association in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, and that the local practice of this one society over the same period in line with the national movement together comprised the most active sustained discussion about the civic society and physical infrastructure of rural settlements in American history. This narrative tracks reform movements in rural settlements over several decades, beginning with landscape gardening through sanitation and up to the professionalization of city planning and the country life movement. Planning veered from broadly conceived urban pastoralism and multi-disciplinary rural improvement that viewed the village as an extension of the city toward preservation planning that viewed the small town as an increasingly idealized pastoral space, past-looking and unchanging. This trend was in line with an associated shift from planning as a series of fine-grained locally led practices to expert-driven professionalized planning as grandiose comprehensive vision.

This thesis begins with an examination of the social and ecological problems related to
contemporary suburban development in North America and recently emerging factors that indicate
an alternative approach is not only necessary but already in process. It explores the field of ecology
to better understand how basic ecosystem function might be used to help organize this alternative.
With the understanding gained from ecology and the information gleaned from the precedent of
pilot projects and other innovative ecologically based design explorations, a series of ecological
design parameters are developed to assist in the planning and design of a more sustainable
suburban community. The ecological design parameters are then applied to an existing suburban
community in the Township of Langley, subject to urban growth pressures to understand the
spatial implications and opportunities of an ecologically based design approach.
In the process of exploring different design options it becomes clear that ecological features can be
embodied in the spatial form of the community, and that their contribution makes the community
more legible to its residents and develops a stronger “sense of place” than the conventional suburb.
A comparative analysis between the proposed Jericho Hill Village and Walnut Grove, a nearby
conventional suburban community also in Langley is provided to illustrate the fundamental
differences between the two design approaches. A discussion of the importance of energy and
water to the community’s design is provided. The thesis concludes by noting some of the
impediments posed by the current development process and some of the opportunities that might
change the status quo.

During recent years, there have been a large number of literatures studying the new suburban community. Due to the development of the village urbanization, the community industry is not totally based on the agriculture and the forestry. The new suburban community came into existence due to the prevalent transportation and close interaction among residents. However, the research related to how to apply the sustainable development of resource is of great shortage. Therefore, how to apply and integrate all resources in the community will become the target for the sustainable development . On the basis of the purposive sampling, Xiucai Village in Yangmei City, Taoyuan County which has earned the awards related to the model community is selected for case study. The methods such as the qualitative research method, the documentary analysis, and the in-depth interview will be used. Questionaire of “Research on the Current Resource Condition and the Application of the Varieties of Community Resources in Xiucai Village in Yangmei City, Taoyuan County” has been developed as the research tool.The primary and secondary composition structures are constructed for the sustainable development of the community after the analysis of questionaire and in-depth interview. The analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the community for case study as well as the evaluation of the opportunities and threats of the external environment “SWOT analysis”are conducted to explore how to integrate the application of resources to carry out the sustainable development of community . The research has the following findings: the community for case study made use of six community resources including the natural and humanity resources, the environmental facilities, the industry and “science and technology” resources, as well as “the social welfare and medical resources” to boost the community development in line with the sustainable environmental, social and economic development. We come to a conclusion in accordance with the application percentage of the above six resource types: the humanity resource (68.95%), the environment facilities (17.35%) and the industry resource (4.47%) are three major community resources which promote the sustainable development of the community. The top 5 in the application percentage of various subitems of six community resources in Xiucai Village are as follows: the organizational operation (29.22%), the community activities (21%), the space and facility (17.35%), the community manpower (10.05%) and the subsidies and donation (7.76%). The result shows that the community for case study regards the office as the integration center of the community resources. The sustainable development of the community can be achieved through the operation of the internal and external organizations as well as the effective application of the budget subsidies. Based on the “humanity resource”, the community integrate it with the industry resource and the natural resource to accelerate the sustainable economic development. In addition, the community integrates with the environmental facility, the“science and technology” resource as well as the social welfare and medical resource to reach the sustainable environmental and social development. The research found that the science and technology as well as the social welfare and medical resource take a low proportion in the resource application, but the information technology with the application of websites making can enhance the affection of the residents to the community. The “social welfare and medical resource” as an important type of community resource is applied to resolve the problem caused by the emergence of the new residents and aging for the sustainable development of new suburban communities. It’s of great benefit to the sustainable development of community by elevating the advantages and opportunities as well as avoiding the recommendation of the disadvantages and threats from this research.
