Co-production of privately owned public space: Who, why, when, and how? URBAN DESIGN International (IF 1.862) Pub Date : 2024-01-29

Co-production has two sides—the ‘co’ side refers to actors and their motivations, while the ‘production’ side refers to phases and instruments. This paper examines privately owned public space/s (POPS) based on the two sides of co-production

Ramming attacks, pedestrians, and the securitization of streets and urban public space: a case study of New York City URBAN DESIGN International (IF 1.862) Pub Date : 2022-03-07 Paul Hess, Sneha Mandhan
Over the last decade, vehicles have been used as weapons to target, kill, and injure pedestrians in cities such as London, New York, and Berlin. In response to these attacks, governments are implementing new policies and physical interventions to securitize pedestrian spaces. A previous wave of urban securitization hardened buildings against explosives delivered by vehicles, but ramming attacks, by

Street network or functional attractors? Capturing pedestrian movement patterns and urban form with the integration of space syntax and MCDA URBAN DESIGN International (IF 1.862) Pub Date : 2022-01-31 Chen Yang, Zhu Qian
The space syntax approach has been widely applied in urban studies and practices to investigate urban form and predict pedestrian movement patterns. Prior research has identified the ‘circular causality’ associated with the ontology of space syntax, indicating that network structure and functional attractors are mutually reinforced by movement patterns in urban spaces. Using the city of Xi’an as a

High-density mobile LiDAR for measuring urban streetscape features URBAN DESIGN International (IF 1.862) Pub Date : 2021-11-08 Golombek, Yaneev, Marshall, Wesley
This study investigates the feasibility of utilizing high-density mobile Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) to measure urban streetscape features. The results suggest that mobile LiDAR’s density allows for much smaller voxels than in the previous research and the ability to measure small urban streetscape features in 3D. This includes street trees, light/lampposts, street furniture, traffic and commercial

This paper presents the geography of the historic central district of Kraków, Poland before, during and after the first wave of the 2020 pandemic. It describes how the disneyfied main part of the UNESCO heritage site of universal values turned into a ghost town as functional changes were turning into physical ones amid restrictions. From the results of pre-pandemic processes (that, as we argue, turned

In Manila, like many regions in the global south, the steady march towards urbanisation has generated an intensive urban landscape of high-rise buildings and large patterns of unplanned and often illegal settlements. Although the Philippine government has formulated several programmes to control the irregular growth of its territory, none of these initiatives has fully addressed the challenge of urban

A clear bridge connecting the theory of spontaneous order and the issue of beauty in and for cities has not yet been developed. After a general exploration of the concept of beauty, this article builds an alternative idea of beauty, namely, beauty as spontaneity. In particular, it argues that beauty in the urban realm greatly depends on forms and orders that can hardly be comprehensively designed but

Scale or size? An analysis of the factors that affect building density: evidence from high-density central urban zones in Asia URBAN DESIGN International (IF 1.862) Pub Date : 2021-06-01 Junyan Yang, Beixiang Shi
Building density is an important factor affecting both urban morphology and urban habitat. Recently, “compact cities” with high density have become the main trend in urban sustainable development. Yet, how to promote effectively high-density city construction through spatial measures remains a challenge. This paper investigates the central urban zones of high-density cities in Asia. The construction

Principles of sustainability defend compactness, density and diversity as main characteristics of the optimal development of cities. These factors support public transport efficiency, economic activity, accessibility to equipments and services, proximity and walkability of streets and social exchanges in open public spaces. The Covid-19 pandemic crisis has called into question these factors perceived
