Landscape Construction of Urban Waterfront Environment

Urban waterfront landscape is the most vital landscape form in a city, the most quality urban green line, and also an ideal habitat corridor. Urban waterfront landscape belt has inborn lasting attractiveness for urban citizens. Considering needs of urban development, development and redevelopment of waterfront areas have been initiated in many cities to meet relaxation and leisure needs of citizens. This paper analyzed landscapes of urban riverfront environment, embankment landscape engineering, and waterfront plant cultivation, so as to further explore landscape construction of urban waterfront environment.

成都城区河流廊道自生植物的物种组成 及其响应不同生境的多度格局

自生植物具有多种生态功能,是人工建设环境中自 发形成的荒野景观。以公园城市示范区成都市为研究地,选取 贯穿主城区的3条河道样段,对其间多样微生境的自生植物物 种组成和多度格局进行探究。共记录自生植物336种,生活型 组成丰富。高频度及高多度的优势种所占比例很小,大部分物 种属于低多度低盖度。岸上和水边的荒置地、自然驳岸所含物 种数最多,而硬质驳岸支撑了更多蕨类植物。岸上绿地及铺装 缝隙外来植物在群落中的多度显著较少;退化草坪中的自生植 物也颇为丰富,夏季多年生草本在草坪群落中的多度显著高于 其他微生境。可根据不同生境中物种多度、盖度格局进行保护 和景观营建,以期更有效地提升城市河流廊道生态效益,并为 市民提供更多荒野体验。

Planning for Sharing – Providing Infrastructure for Citizens to be Makers and Sharers

This paper explores how local authorities can develop infrastructure for collaborative consumption, i.e. sharing amongst citizens of tools, spaces and practical skills. The City of Malmö, Sweden, is used as a case study to illustrate the work with such “sharing infrastructure”. Existing planning research and planning practice for sustainability generally focus on facilitating citizens to live in a more eco-friendly way in terms of housing, modes of transport, waste flows and use of green space, but do not address citizens’ consumption of other material goods. This paper points to a potential role for local public planning in relation to collaborative consumption through creating sharing infrastructure, i.e. providing access to shared tools and spaces for making and repairing, thus enabling citizens to act in the city not only as consumers, but also as makers and sharers.

A review of Toyota City’s eco-policy: changes in citizens’ awareness between 2012 and 2015

Raising public awareness of environmental policies is widely considered an important aspect of their successful implementation. This article contributes to our understanding of awareness-raising campaigns by focusing the case of Toyota City. It examines how awareness of eco-policy changed between 2012 and 2015. Data collected from questionnaires were analyzed by year and residency, focusing on (1) how Toyota citizens’ and non-citizens’ awareness of eco-policy changed during the research period and (2) how awareness differed between Toyota citizens and those from elsewhere. Findings suggest some evidence that the city’s activities may have been effective in increasing awareness of its eco-policy among its citizens. Awareness of the city’s eco-policy was significantly higher among Toyota citizens in 2015 than in 2012 and among those from elsewhere in either period. This study draws some practical recommendations for raising awareness of similar initiatives elsewhere. Moreover, it reflects on how further research may more fully explore the relationship between the effectiveness and the awareness of urban environmental policy initiatives.     

Urban Acupuncture: Hybrid Social and Technological Practices for Hyperlocal Placemaking

Abstract

This paper considers an emerging planning practice that uses networked connections to interact with urban places and re-create enlivened cities. The paper presents “urban acupuncture” as a new planning approach that broadens communication and strategically targets interventions across the city. Defined as an approach, which, through the use of digital social networks and interactions, involves citizens and planners in place activations in order to stimulate and reinvigorate place, thus creating meaningful relationships between citizens and their urban settings. This paper uses the UR[BNE] Brisbane Festival 2012 as a qualitative case study of urban acupuncture, best defined as a hyper-localized healing treatment through place activation to enliven and recreate cities. It examines the challenges faced and opportunities embraced by a network of urban professionals. Their aim was to activate the underused urban spaces of central Brisbane through the festival's activities and events. The findings identify the key elements required to design public spaces using socially and technologically networked interactions.     

The Planning Community Reflects on Enhancing Public Involvement. Views from Academics and Reflective Practitioners

This article presents viewpoints from planners on how the practices of public involvement in planning activity may develop. It provides ideas, suggestions and critical reflections on how to improve access of citizens and groups to settings, how to build citizens’ capacity to negotiate and how to increase the impact of public involvement on decision making and the outcomes of processes. The article uses views expressed by academics and reflective practitioners in a Delphi Survey. The way in which the communities of planning academics and practitioners are considering these aspects provides insight into the opportunities for a new type of planning and the forms it may take. The answers point to the need to innovate through tailor-made approaches that empower participants and provide policies to consider and practical directions to explore. The answers also demonstrate the different views held by academics and practitioners.     

Self-organization in urban development: towards a new perspective on spatial planning

To date, participatory spatial planning has produced disappointing results. We argue that one reason is that time and again participatory planning proposals remain controlled by public government, and that public government seems not to be very adaptive to initiatives that emerge from the dynamics of civil society itself. To find out why and how citizens could and would be motivated to contribute out of their own motivation to urban development, we propose turning the focus outside-in, instead of inside-out. In this article, we therefore introduce the notion of self-organization, referring to initiatives that originate in civil society itself, via autonomous community-based networks of citizens outside government control which participate in developing the ‘urban fabric’ too. We discuss some examples of self-organization and draw preliminary conclusions of the concept's usefulness for the theory and practice of spatial planning.

关于规划节能的设计初探

本文针对当前节能上所存在的主要问题,探讨规划节能设计的新理念、新途径、新方法。提倡首先应从城市总体规划阶段注重节能的规划设计,为建筑单体的节能创造良好的外部环境;其次,在地块开发中,需从节能角度明确强制性的节能规划指标,作为地块出让、开发、建设和运营管理的前置条件,也是地块单体建筑、道路广场、绿化环境等各要素的设计、建设和竣工验收依据;最后,提出注重节能细节设计,深入落实规划节能的各项要求。     

基于城市河流半自然化的生态防洪对策——河滨缓冲带与柔性堤岸设计导引

Planning Our Future: Institutionalizing Youth Participation in Local Government Planning Efforts

ABSTRACT

There is a growing recognition globally that young people are under-represented or excluded from planning processes, and that this exclusion could have lasting impacts on their development as citizens and their interaction with the built environment. This article focuses on the extent to which youth participation is institutionalized in local government planning efforts in the United States and what explains this institutionalization. Consequently, what are the barriers and local attitudes towards youth participation? The primary data collection for this study is through an online survey that was sent to the census of California local governments. Results show that institutionalization of youth participation in local governance, through local prioritization of youth participation and emphasis of such participation in master plans, is low. Multiple linear regression is used to isolate the factors affecting institutionalization. Anticipated benefits are many, and barriers are primarily capacity related.     

Beyond ‘What do I get?’ Functional and procedural sources of Dutch citizens’ satisfaction with local democracy

This paper deals with a dual question: (1) How important are procedural value orientations (pertaining to the democratic quality of decision-making) and functional value orientations (pertaining to the governmental performance in solving problems and delivering services) for Dutch citizens’ ideas about what constitutes good local governance? (2) To what extent and how do these functional and procedural evaluations affect Dutch citizens’ overall satisfaction with local democracy? These questions will be answered on the basis of data collected through a survey amongst 1060 Dutch citizens.
