Abstract:
ResumoO presente artigo tem por objetivo realizar uma análise crítica do Projeto de Lei n. 428/2019, do Município de São Paulo, que tem por objeto estabelecer objetivos, diretrizes, estratégias e mecanismos para a implantação do Projeto de Intervenção Urbana Vila Leopoldina-Villa Lobos e cria a Área de Intervenção Urbana correspondente, naquele município. Para tanto, disserta inicialmente sobre a natureza e o conteúdo dos denominados “Projetos de Intervenção Urbana”, previstos na Lei Municipal n. 16.402/2014, o Plano Diretor Estratégico de São Paulo, delimitando suas finalidades e possibilidades de atuação. Após, analisa criticamente os dispositivos do apontado projeto de lei, tecendo considerações pertinentes às novidades em termos de proposta de regulação urbanística em si estabelecidos. O resultado do trabalho é a constatação de uma abordagem inovadora e diferenciada da instrumentação jurídica prevista no projeto de lei, já que elaborada de forma a atender especificamente aos termos de um projeto urbanístico derivado do plano diretor, ao mesmo tempo em que proporciona a implantação da política de desenvolvimento urbano nele previsto.Palavras-chave: Direito urbanístico. Projeto de Intervenção Urbana. Área de Intervenção Urbana. Potencial Construtivo Adicional. Regulação Urbanística. AbstractThe purpose of this article is to carry out a critical analysis of the mains aspects of Draft Law no. 428/2019, of the municipality of São Paulo City, whose purpose is to establish objectives, guidelines, strategies and mechanisms for the implementation of the Vila Leopoldina-Villa Lobos Urban Intervention Project (Projeto de Intervenção Urbana Vila Leopoldina-Villa Lobos) and create the corresponding Urban Intervention Area (Área de Intervenção Urbana) in that municipality. In order to do so, it first discusses the nature and content of the so-called "Urban Intervention Projects", provided for in Municipal Law n. 16,402/2014, the Strategic Master Plan of São Paulo (Plano Diretor Estratégico), delimiting its purposes and possibilities of action. Afterwards, it critically analyzes the provisions of the aforementioned bill, weaving considerations pertinent to the novelties in terms of the proposal of urban regulation itself established. The result of the work is the finding of an innovative and differentiated approach to the legal instrumentation envisaged in the draft law, since it is designed in order to specifically meet the terms of an urban project derived from the master plan, while at the same time providing the implementation of the urban development policy envisaged.Keywords: Urban Law. Urban Intervention Project. Urban Intervention Area. Additional Constructive Potential. Urban Regulation

Abstract:
Over the last few decades the on-rushing surge of population created an urban structural instability across the under developing parts of the globe like Bangladesh. For instance, due to over population and urban sprawl the current development pattern of this country is culminating in filling up wetlands, changing the course of lakes, narrowing down in some cases killing rivers for urban development leaving the urban health in the face of a disastrous future. The concern for implementing an adaptive sustainable strategy that interacts with wetlands and rivers in the field of urban landscape should be prioritize as the burning question that need to be answered. This paper will be emphasizing on the strategies & guidelines to restore a riparian wetland through imputing wetland sensitive technique saving the riparian edge as well as creating a value of this wetland by suggesting some urban programs that will not only provide recreational value but also provide economic benefit to the local people. In this research there will be a sole intention to develop sustainable and riparian sensitive guidelines which would especially be applicable for riparian wetland development that leaves least impact on nature and promote the adjacent community life and wellbeing of urban health.

AbstractThis article aims to examine Yeldeğirmeni, a historically multilingual and multicultural neighborhood in Istanbul, as a translation zone. The language landscape of Yeldeğirmeni, along with its social and cultural texture, has been transformed by both social and political changes in Turkey, and as a result of urban interventions by institutional and individual actors. We discuss the Yeldeğirmeni Revitalization Project and Mural Istanbul Festival as urban interventions that transform the social and cultural texture of the city in translation zones, owing to the significant role played by cultural mediators. Yeldeğirmeni is analyzed as a discourse in the context of cultural translation, and urban intervention is viewed as a medium of translation.

Abstract:
The peacebuilding process plays a critical role for urban planning in paving the way for sustainable peace or upcoming conflicts, where it is not innocent and not impartial. The paper aims to draw out lessons learned from Belfast to Syria, focusing on the urban intervention role in sustaining the peace process. The article reviews Belfast’s literature review, using the timeline to scan the recovery process and extract a few lessons learnt. This is followed by reviewing the current interventions for the recovery of Syria based on chosen articles in the Venice charter on reconstruction that define specific indicators of the role of architects and urban planners. Authors debate the way and the aspects of urban intervention in dealing with conflicts. The paper shows the critical role of urban interventions in sustaining peace process implementation and concludes with essential areas to ensure the integration of the urban intervention part of the peace process.

Abstract:
ResumenLa actuación sobre el medio urbano de regeneración y renovación integrada (aMU-RRi) configura el nuevo paradigma de la intervención urbana, la preservación urbana con carácter conjunto e integrado. Para ello redefine la viabilidad económica, afecta el deber de conservación del derecho de propiedad a la actuación y articula un modelo de equidistribución de reparto de costes que supera las pautas del urbanismo que hemos conocido.El presente artículo constituye un breve recorrido histórico por los instrumentos y técnicas que ha dispuesto el urbanismo español para la preservación urbana: desde inviable e insostenible modelo clásico del urbanismo, pasando por el modelo de la sostenibilidad que incorporó la sostenibilidad plena y el régimen estatutario del derecho de propiedad, pero que estableció un régimen general de intervención sobre el suelo urbanizado inviable y dejó un hueco falto de regulación para la preservación de la ciudad; para alcanzar la definición de la aMU-RRi con la legislación del modelo por la ciudad y sus adaptaciones autonómicas de medio urbano y que ayudará a la formación del nuevo paradigma urbanístico, basado en la función social del derecho de propiedad que nos hemos dado para la preservación urbana conjunta e integrada de eso que llamamos, la ciudad.AbstractThe integrated urban regeneration and renewal intervention (aMU-RRi) configures the new paradigm of urban intervention, with its joint and integrated character for urban preservation. To this end, it redefines the economic viability, affects the duty of preservation of the right of property and articulates a model of equistribution of distribution of costs that surpasses the urban planning guidelines that we have known.This paper constitutes a brief historical journey through the instruments and techniques that Spanish urban planning has provided for urban preservation: from an unviable and unsustainable classic urban planning model, through the sustainability model that it incorporated full sustainability and the statutory property rights regime, but that established an unviable general intervention regime in the existing city areas and also left a gap due to the lack of regulation for the preservation of the city; and finally up to the definition of the aMU-RRi with city preserving legislation and its regional adaptations and that will help the formation of the new urban paradigm, based on the social function of property rights that we have been given for the joint and integrated urban preservation of what we call, the city.

Abstract:
Introduction: Tobacco use, which is directly responsible for 10% of total deaths per year globally, remains consistently high, with approximately 20% of the population reporting regular consumption globally. Moreover, health disparities regarding tobacco consumption and smoking cessation are growing between rural and urban populations worldwide. Social media interventions for tobacco cessation may effectively reach both groups. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a WeChat-delivered smoking cessation intervention among rural and urban Chinese smokers, and to assess moderating variables that may contribute to differential intervention efficacy. Methods: WeChat was used to recruit smokers into this intervention study between 1 July and 5 August 2019. Participants were randomized to one of three intervention schedules: participants in the Standard Group and the Enhanced Group received 20 smoking-related messages over 2 weeks, whereas participants in the Enhanced Group received an extra 6 oral health-related messages for one week. Participants in the control group received 20 smoking-related messages after the post-intervention assessment. Participants completed questionnaires at baseline and at 4 weeks follow-up. Our primary outcome was smoking cessation stage of change and secondary outcome was 24-h point prevalence abstinence (PPA). Urban and rural areas were based on self-reported living areas. Chi-squared test, Fisher’s exact test, ANOVA test, linear regression, and logistic regression were used for analysis. Results: Overall, 403 participants completed the intervention (233 rural, 107 suburban, 63 urban). Compared to urban participants, rural participants were more likely to have progressed to a later stage of change (β = 0.40, 95% CI: 0.13, 0.67) and to report higher 24-h PPA rates at follow-up (aOR = 3.23, 95% CI: 1.36, 7.68). After stratification by living area, the intervention effects in stage of change and 24-h PPA rate at follow-up were only found in the urban subgroup. Discussion: Smokers who lived in rural areas reported better smoking cessation outcomes compared with urban smokers; however, the efficacy of a WeChat-based smoking cessation intervention was only found for participants living in an urban area. WeChat based smoking cessation interventions should be used to promote smoking cessation in urban, suburban, and rural areas.

Abstract:
To examine whether environmental interventions, student awareness and parents’ model roles are associated with the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), a randomized controlled trial was conducted among Chinese schoolchildren. A multi-stage cluster random sampling method was applied to select four primary schools, two in urban areas and two in rural areas, in Nanjing, eastern China. Classes of the third grade in the selected four schools were randomly assigned to the intervention group and control group. Among selected students in those classes, aged 9–10 years, those in the intervention group received intervention measures comprising school-based and family-based measures and accepted monthly monitoring along with interventions, for two consecutive semesters, while those in the control group did not receive any specific interventions. After intervention, there was a significant increase in SSB knowledge and an improvement in the family environment with parents in the intervention group. The proportion of frequent consumption (≥4 times/week) of any SSBs in the intervention group was lower than that in the control group (31.5% vs. 56.2%, p < 0.01). Multivariate analysis indicated that parental education level is positively associated with reduced SSB consumption. Interventions showed an average decrease in SSBs consumption by 1.77 units, those living in urban areas decreased by 2.05 units. The combination of school-based and family-based interventions appears effective in reducing SSB consumption among Chinese schoolchildren, especially in urban areas and for those with parents with lower educational levels.

Abstract:
This paper examines India’s foray into building hundred smart cities from multiple perspectives viz. urban challenges, urban policies, sustainable urbanism, emerging global models and design and technology intervention. It also evaluates the relative challenges of building new smart cities like Masdar or Songdo and applying smart interventions to retrofit the aging and ailing urban infrastructure of the existing Indian cities. Based on the data from the secondary sources it examines the priority areas and the possibilities of making smart intervention through use of appropriate technology and design. While doing so, it brings into discussion India’s urban challenges and its policy of urban development over the years besides the recurring development deficit. Today, Indian cities are faced with huge infrastructure deficit which reflects in their performance and service delivery. The imperative to ensure urban rejuvenation now reflects in the recent policy of creating hundred smart cities in India. This paper also discusses howtechnology and design interventions at appropriate levels canaugment urban infrastructure and make a sustainable urban eco-system called smart city.

Abstract:
Background: The urban community based Maternal, and Child Health-MCH interventions were implemented in district one of Kabul city from 2013 to 2016. The study intended to assess the changes in mothers’ knowledge, behaviors and practices toward proportions of birth spacing, Ante Natal Care-ANC visits, vaccinations and health care utilization to estimate interventions success.Methods: To measure the success of implemented interventions, the data were collected from the intervention and the control districts. The district two was selected as control as it had similar demographic characteristics to district one. Semi structured interviews were conducted with randomly selected 341 mothers in district one and 341 mothers from district two.Results: The proportions of mothers who ever wished to utilize a contraceptive method, practiced birth spacing, knowledge about the date that the baby was expected to arrive, preference to give birth in a health facility and completion of all ANC visits were significantly higher in intervention district. Additionally, the proportions of under five children who did not complete all scheduled routine vaccinations were lower in intervention district. It is likely, that implemented interventions have contributed to improve MCH knowledge, attitude and practices in intervention district.Conclusions: The result of study imply that interventions contributed to the increase in mothers’ knowledge and attitude about birth spacing. The interventions have also improved the level of knowledge about expected date of delivery and attitude to prefer giving birth in health facility. While, there is still room for improvement as almost half eligible children in intervention district did not complete all scheduled vaccinations.

The relationship between design and the idea of a framework is essentially an attitude about ordering. A framework is an Intellectual proposition which can support a variety ideas, and in doing so, it provides a resolution to these intersections. The framework may be thought of as a mechanism, a jOint, for bringing together these things, that enables other levels of intervention to occur.

Abstract:
The word "context" originates in "contextus", which is Latin for "weaving." An architectural question arises as to how a building can so integrate itself with a community that is it truly woven into the urban fabric. The Shaw Neighborhood branch of the District of Columbia Public Library system closed in 2004. The building at the intersection of 7th Street and Rhode Island Avenue could no longer serve the needs of the community, and shall be replaced by a new facility on the same site. What are the needs of the community that should be addressed, and by what methods? As a civic building, what role will the new library play beyond that of a place to find books? What are the contexts that the new architecture will confront, and how does this building transcend the contexts of the present to endure as something equally valuable in the future?

Abstract:
This is a practice based PhD which follows several different lines of inquiry in order to pursue the ideas and territories which the practical works themselves lead to rather than imposing a question which the practical work had to speak to. The practical works ore as much a port of the submission as the text and each chapter includes a DVD with either the work, or if it was site specific, the documentation. The text never seeks to explain the work but to expand and contextualise it. Although each chapter of the document is specific to a particular inquiry - mistranslation through subtitling, representations of the self through performance, art in public space, and artist-run exhibition initiatives, there are also threads that run throughout. Questions of identity can be read into all the work whether it be in the costumed performance or through questions about the identity of on artist or on audience within particular systems of distribution and in education. Although some of the work has been shown in a traditional gallery setting there is a concern for alternative modalities for presenting art and much of the work is situational and responsive to opportunity. This PhD is really on examination of how an artist thinks through practice and in the end I hove sought to approach areas of interest and to open up questions without too much concern for finding closure in answers.

Abstract:
The processes by which urban areas come to be and evolve create outdoor spaces that experience different uses and have different characteristics over a period of time. For example, a space previously used for industrial purposes may presently be used as a community park. In some cases, a significant area of land may become a kind of leftover or remnant space whose uses are unclear, undefined, or unprogrammed, but exhibits natural characteristics. The purpose of this study is to utilize one of these natural remnants, Marott Park, in the cultural arts district of Broad Ripple in Indianapolis, Indiana as the basis for a design effort that provides access to the site while retaining both its site-specific and contextual characteristics. The intent of this effort is to enhance the community/pedestrian recreational, educational, and cultural experience through a detailed design for a portion of Marott Park. A set of recommendations also addresses the potential for connections between the site and other features such as existing open space, schools, and cultural features in the Indianapolis area.

Abstract:
Two claims are common in environmental discourses: that cities are key sites of intervention for a shift towards greater sustainability and that grassroots sustainability initiatives embody particularly promising drivers of such a shift. Drawing on Lefebvre, this chapter challenges ›episteme of the urban‹ that confine cities to ›sites‹ and argues that the planetary ›processes‹ that underpin given sites require more attention in light of socio-ecological crises. The chapter also challenges the common ›doxa‹ that ›truly‹ transformative interventions operate at a distance from dominant political institutions, such as law, and introduces ›heterodox right-claims‹ as an alternative political strategy - also for grassroots politics.

Abstract:
O artigo pretende abordar a noção de intervenção urbana sistêmica na metrópole de São Paulo, a partir da ativação de forças locais e metropolitanas representadas pelos nós de mobilidade, ou seja, as áreas de interseção das redes de infraestrutura de transporte público. O papel desempenhado por tais redes tem se destacado em muitas pesquisas recentes que apontam possibilidades de leitura, interpretação e ação urbana na metrópole contemporânea baseadas nesses elementos. Para tanto, temos como objeto de estudo o Plano Integrado de Transportes Urbanos de 2025 (PITU 2025), mais precisamente a partir de suas premissas urbanísticas, como o adensamento em áreas específicas e a proposição das estações intermodais como âncoras de desenvolvimento urbano local, garantindo a articulação entre a expansão do sistema de mobilidade estrutural com as áreas de grande potencial para intervenção urbana. The article aims to discuss the notion of systemic urban intervention in the São Paulo metropolis, from the activation of local and metropolitan forces represented by the mobility nodes, it means, the intersection areas of transport infrastructure network. The role of such networks has been highlighted in many recent urban debates that indicate the reading, interpretation and urban action possibilities in the contemporary metropolis based on these elements. Therefore, the Integrated Urban Transport Plan of 2025 (PITU 2025) is proposed as the object, more precisely from its urban issues, as the density improvement in specific areas and the proposition of intermodal stations as anchors of local urban development, ensuring the articulation between the expansion of the structural mobility system with potential areas for urban intervention.

Abstract:
In the past few years’ urban design development has been a topic that in some of Latin America cities such as Medellin, Mexico City and Córdoba, has been evolving under the shadow no longer far from concepts as social innovation and social urbanism, a situation that generates new perspectives and concerns about the impacts that this transformations bring to the cities and its communities. The aim of the collaborative research project was to acknowledge the impacts of urban transformations on five different cities and comparing them to find similarities and differences. A comparative analysis of multiple cases was proposed, along with a methodological triangulation that contained observation, photography analysis and the production of graphics accompanied by interviews in order to arouse an approach to the perceptions of the community residing the space and their affective bonds with it. Inquiring about this process and impacts, and the inhabitants’ relation with their newly transformed space, researchers used graphic research methods that allowed collecting, evaluating and establishing comparative criteria and identifying reiterating impacts caused by urban interventions. Different graphic and visual tools such as drawings, photography and graphic reconstruction were used as a tools to identify the urban and architectural strategies through which a connection between urban space and its inhabitants in each city in order to compare with the other four cities. These tools where used in order to define a recurrent method creating an effect of distance, which increases the effect of designation and shows urban dynamics to articulate submerged realities in opposition with the images created through the visual tools, so a closer relationship between research and representation is made.

Abstract:
A partir da abordagem teórica ao tema da intervenção na cidade, cujos objectivos são a regeneração urbana e o desenvolvimento sustentável, pretende-se explorar os processos de contaminação inerentes ao fenómeno urbano e a sua potencialidade em ampliar os efeitos de acções de intervenção pontual. Com a experiência do estudo da Ecopista de Évora (Portugal), uma via-férrea reciclada que desencadeou um processo de transformação na envolvente, pretende-se desenhar um modelo preliminar de avaliação e evolução da contaminação urbana positiva, identificando o conjunto de factores na origem desse processo. Este estudo insere-se numa investigação que visa ampliar a presente experiência a outros casos e contribuir para a criação de um modelo estratégico de regeneração urbana à “boleia” dos processos de contaminação. Uma vez que estes processos demonstram a capacidade de ampliar o raio de afectação de acções pontuais, permitem alcançar melhorias no ambiente urbano, rentabilizando recursos e reduzindo investimentos avultados. From a theoretical approach to the question of the intervention in the city, whose aims are the urban regeneration and sustainable development, we intend to explore the contamination processes inherent to urban phenomenon and its potential to magnify the punctual intervention actions effect. With the study of the Ecopista of Évora (Portugal), a recycled railway that started a transformation process in theurban environment, we intend to draw an evaluation and evolution preliminary model of positive urban contamination, identifying the set of factors that triggered this process. This study is part of a research that aims to extend this experience to other cases and contribute to the creation of a strategic model of urban regeneration through the contamination processes. Once these processes demonstrate ability to enlarge the effects radius of punctual actions, they will help to achieve improvements in the environment, maximizing resources and reducing investment.

Abstract:
Este artículo resume el producto de un taller académico en el que se reflexiona sobre el sector Estación Villa, el cual hace parte del centro tradicional de Medellín y se cuestiona sobre, ¿cómo abordar un territorio, con una zona, que ha quedado excluida por cuenta de las intervenciones desarrolladas en sus bordes y ha propiciado en su interior, mezcla de diferentes grupos poblacionales y actividades, en las que, la ilegalidad e informalidad lo han llevado a la exclusión urbana y social del resto de la ciudad. Se propone una intervención que interprete las dinámicas sociales y la ocupación del territorio, que tendrá como punto de partida, la inclusión social y la articulación urbana. Dicha intervención, propone estrategias innovadoras que le apuestan a una regeneración urbana, que construya tejido social y articule a Estación Villa con el resto de la ciudad. This article summarizes the product of an academic workshop in which we reflect on the Estación Villa sector, which is part of the Medellin traditional downtown and questions about how to tackle a territory, an area which has been excluded on account of interventions developed at its edges and has led inside, mixing different population groups and activities, which, illegality and informality have led to urban and social exclusion of the rest of the city. An intervention to interpret the social dynamics and the occupation of territory, taking as a starting point, social inclusion and urban articulation is proposed. This intervention proposes innovative strategies betting on urban regeneration build social fabric and articulates Station Villa with the rest of the city.

Abstract:
This paper describes a programme of neighbourhood scale intervention research in Auckland New Zealand, with the aim of creating inherently safer streets that also enhance public health and community wellbeing. The research began with a study called Self Explaining Roads (SER) and a second, larger project called Future Streets is currently in progress. For the Self Explaining Roads study approximately 11 km of local and collector roads were modified within an existing suburban area using SER principles. A programme of evaluation found a 30% reduction in traffic crashes and an 80% reduction in crash costs three years following the SER intervention. Mean traffic speed for local streets reduced to 30 km/hr and speed variance reduced for all streets. Pedestrian outcomes also improved on local streets and distinct road user behaviour characteristics for the two road types were achieved, reinforcing the achievement of a successful SER intervention trial. A further intervention study (Future Streets) focusing more deliberately on active modes and public health outcomes, but still including SER principles, is currently in progress. A process of participatory design is being used to develop street changes in an intervention area. A control area has also been assigned and a range of road safety and public health measures will be carried out in both areas, before and after the intervention changes. The studies will hopefully lead to more informed decisions about the nature of urban street infrastructure investment in the future.

Abstract:
The ‘Urban WASH' project was implemented in George and Chawama compounds in Lusaka between July 2013 and June 2017 by Oxfam and Village Water Zambia. The project aimed to improve provision and sustainable management of WASH services by engaging citizens to hold duty bearers and service providers to account. Oxfam collaborated with local institutions on an array of activities, engaging stakeholders to create a conducive environment for service provision and improving capacities and practices. This Effectiveness Review evaluates the success of this project to increase the sustainability of water and sanitation systems and services. Using a quasi-experimental evaluation design, we assessed impact among households in the intervention communities and in a comparison community. We combined the household-level quantitative assessment with analysis of community-level qualitative Key Informant Interviews, carried out with relevant institutional representatives.

Full text
Abstract:
Despite decades of interventions aiming to reduce child labour, children’s engagement with exploitative work remains widespread, particularly in South Asia. Emerging evidence about cash transfer programmes point towards their potential for reducing children’s engagement with work, but knowledge is scarce in terms of their impact on exploitative work and in urban settings. One component of the CLARISSA programme is to trial an innovative ‘cash plus’ intervention and to learn about its potential for reducing children’s harmful and hazardous work in two slum areas in Dhaka, Bangladesh. This Working Paper presents findings from a small-scale qualitative study that was undertaken in late 2019, aiming to inform the design of the cash plus intervention. Findings point towards the potential for cash transfers to reduce the need for children to engage in exploitative work and highlight key considerations for design and delivery, including mode and frequency of delivery and engagement with local leaders and community representatives.

Full text
Abstract:
Physical inactivity is a risk factor for numerous chronic diseases, and a mounting global health problem. It is likely that the outdoor physical environment, together with social environmental factors, has a tendency to either promote or discourage physical activity, not least in cities and other urban areas. However, the evidence base on this is sparse, making it hard to identify the best policy interventions to make, at the local or city level. This study seeks to assess the impact of one such intervention, the Connswater Community Greenway CCG), in Belfast, in Northern Ireland, UK. To do that it uses innovative methodologies, ‘Walk-along’ and ‘Cycle-along’ that involve wearable sensors and video footages, to improve our understanding of the impact of the CCG on local residents. The findings suggest that four characteristics of the CCG affect people’s activity and the benefits that the CCG created. These are physical factors, social factors, policy factors and individual factors. Each of these has many elements, with different impacts on different people using the greenway.

Abstract:
Between April 2014 and March 2018, the SWIFT Consortium, led by Oxfam with Tearfund and ODI as members, carried out the 'SWIFT 1' project in DRC and Kenya to provide access to water and sanitation and to promote basic hygiene practices. In DRC, the consortium worked with implementing partners HYFRO, CEPROSSAN, and PPSSP in rural and semi-urban areas in three eastern provinces – North Kivu, South Kivu and Maniema. This Effectiveness Review evaluates the success of this project to increase the sustainability of water and sanitation systems and services. It focuses on measuring benefits attributable to additional activities the project carried out in rural areas, above and beyond the national ‘Villages et Ecoles Assainis’ (VEA) approach. Using a quasi-experimental evaluation design, impact is assessed among individuals and their households in intervention and comparison communities in Kirotshe and Mweso Health Zones in North Kivu.
