The document discusses strategies for designing successful public spaces. It emphasizes connecting people to each other and their community through art and shared experiences in the public space. The design should incorporate multiple activity areas and features to encourage socialization, play, and interactions with art, nature and each other. Celebrations, performances and temporary installations can further engage the community and foster a sense of pride and belonging.

Urban Communications: making things public
This document contains excerpts from various sources on the topics of communication, public spaces, and communities. It discusses how new communication technologies have changed interactions both in physical and virtual spaces. Specifically, it mentions how writing ended oral traditions and gave rise to towns, and how modern media like newspapers and magazines allow people to avoid social contact in public. The document also examines local storytelling, social networks, and sense of community in geographical neighborhoods.
IMPORTANCE OF PUBLIC SPACES IN CITIES
Public spaces are an important asset to our cities. They provide people many opportunities to come together and engage with the community. If public spaces are successful, they are inclusive of the diversity of groups present in our cities and create a social space for everyone in the society to participate in.
S.Cuers Qld Planner 2006
Planners play an important role in building socially sustainable communities through urban consolidation. Urban consolidation allows for more compact, higher-density development near transport and services, with claimed benefits like reduced environmental impact, improved access to opportunities, and more affordable housing. However, critics argue that it can reduce social capital and community cohesion. The social sustainability of urban consolidation depends on embracing change and integrating new and existing communities through quality design, infrastructure, and community participation in the planning process.
City life and new urbanism
This document discusses the principles of New Urbanism and its goal of reintroducing urban centers and qualities to city planning. It begins by describing how post-World War II development led to isolated, car-centric communities that lacked the mixed-use, walkable neighborhoods characteristic of traditional urban planning. New Urbanism began in the 1970s-80s to address this by creating neighborhoods and urban centers with human-scale design. The document then outlines some of New Urbanism's key design principles, such as creating walkable communities with a mix of uses and civic spaces embedded within neighborhoods.
Invitation to urban studies
This document provides an overview of urban sociology and the study of cities. It discusses two major orientations in urban sociology: culturalist, which deals with people's experiences and the distribution of wealth and power in cities, and structuralist, which deals with the physical and economic relationships within cities. The document also examines some challenges in understanding the informal structures of cities and how urban environments vary between societies and over time. It explores how the built environment shapes social interactions and movement through cities.
Urban Sprawl Negative Impact: Enkomi Return Phase
A B S T R A C T
Most of the cities around the world are dealing with different kinds of the problems such as social, environmental, economic and others. However, for many years, urban planners have attempted to find solutions that fit within the context and have put them into practice in order to shape the form of a city accordingly. One of the controversial problems which most of the developing and developed countries deal with it is urban sprawl, which affects everything and everyone in different scales. For last three decades, even in case of T.R.N. Cyprus, urban sprawl has become inevitable; urban sprawl is recognizable, sprawl construction becomes a profitable business for construction, real-estate, and others involved in this business. Unfortunately, some communities to realize their vision welcomed to urban sprawl construction and enthusiastically embrace it with open arm, such communities sacrifice sociability opportunity and vibrant neighborhood to those single-use towns which is one of the main characteristics is social exclusion and psychological problems, fundamentally one of the key factors can be found in lack of public awareness especially for who prefer to live in sprawl town. In T.R.N. Cyprus urban sprawl didn’t promote auto-dependency. Despite urban sprawl in T.R.N. Cyprus have many repercussions, one of the important impacts which are considered in this articles are psychological impact of urban sprawl, also this article attempt to divide urban sprawl leaving condition into three phases, and promote the contemplate phase which makes sprawl inhabitants think and return to inner-city neighborhood again.

The document summarizes four architectural case studies and the urbanism/design strategies they employ:
1) The Highline in New York uses public spaces designed for social interaction, like gardens and sitting areas, to promote community activities while providing separation from the busy city streets.
2) The Robie House uses natural materials like brick to blend the building into the landscape in a Prairie style that expresses the nature of materials.
3) In Times Square in New York, signs are integrated into building facades as visual landmarks and symbols that dominate and identify the space from a distance.
4) Beijing National Stadium, also known as the Bird's Nest, gives meaning to its chaotic steel beam structure through its
Mid semester draft
This document discusses the process of decoding and challenging the boundaries between public and private space in the city. Through acts of observation, participation, occupation, and interaction in public spaces, the individual voice can be interpreted and given space. These small actions like writing on sidewalks or playing scrabble in public facilitate a deeper analysis of how space is used and can help reclaim the city from an individual's perspective. The ultimate goal is to better understand how public space is used and to choreograph city functions and flows to bring more diversity.

Urbanism is characterized by impersonal social relations, a complex division of labor, high mobility, and interdependence among members. Louis Wirth identified four key aspects of urbanism: transiency, superficiality, anonymity, and individualism. Wirth proposed three factors that shape urbanism - population size, density, and demographic heterogeneity. Large populations in cities lead to impersonal, transitory contacts. High density segments activities and fosters competition. Heterogeneity erodes class distinctions but also leads groups to prioritize average interests over individuals. Wirth argued urbanism is shaped by its physical structure, social organization emphasizing non-kinship groups, and ideas that simplify communication.
To Govern Artfully. Linking contemporary public art to political participation
This document summarizes research on participatory public art and urban governance. The research involved interviewing 10 artists and analyzing 85 art projects in Italy. Key findings include:
1) Most projects occurred in the last 4 years and focused on environmental and "subpolitical" issues. Artists worked in collectives to foster social and political change through individual participation.
2) Projects primarily used consultation, deliberation, and mobilization models of citizen engagement. Case studies in Rome and Sassari effectively transformed cities and engaged performative audiences.
3) Most projects received public funding, with differing views among artists on the benefits and risks of this. The research aims to further explore relationships between participatory art and urban governance through
Urbanism
This document discusses the concepts of urbanism and urbanization. Urbanism is defined as the sociological study of life and human interaction in metropolitan areas, as well as the role of cities in societal development. It originated from the work of sociologists like Marx, Tonnies, Durkheim, Weber and Simmel. The Chicago School further developed sociological theories of urbanism. Urbanization refers to the phenomenon of rural to urban migration and the factors driving this migration. The document examines elements that define an area as "urban" and discusses early urban sociologists' framing of symbolic interaction in urban settings. It provides an overview of sociologist George Simmel's work on the impacts of city life on mental life and

This document summarizes Jane Jacobs' views on urban planning and sidewalk use in cities from her influential book "The Death and Life of Great American Cities". It describes how in the 1950s, large-scale urban renewal projects sought to remake cities but often disrupted communities. Jacobs argued sidewalks foster casual social contact that builds trust between neighbors. The document also outlines typical failures of 1950s urban renewal like isolating housing and destroying local businesses.
Sources of social history
The document discusses the nature and sources of social history. It states that social history emerged in the 19th century to study ordinary people's lives rather than elites. Social historians use sources like government records, interviews, artifacts and more to understand people's experiences. Social history intersects with fields like sociology and anthropology. It examines categories like family, gender, labor and more. The relationship between history and social history is that history studies major events while social history places them in a social context.
New Urbanism- Jane Jacobs
Jane Jacobs was an influential writer and activist in urban planning in the mid-20th century. She opposed the widespread replacement of urban communities with high-rise buildings and advocated for mixed-use neighborhoods with a focus on walkability. Along with Lewis Mumford, she is considered a founder of the New Urbanist movement. New Urbanism aims to reduce car dependence and create livable, walkable neighborhoods with a mix of housing, jobs, and commercial areas. Some examples of New Urbanist developments include Seaside, Florida, the first fully New Urbanist town, and Stapleton in Denver, Colorado. However, New Urbanism has also faced some criticisms around issues like lack of privacy and questions about how well it achieves
Public Spaces, Plaemaking, and Citizen-led Planning
The document discusses placemaking and citizen-led urban planning. It summarizes lessons learned from Northampton, Massachusetts about creating more inclusive public spaces through tactical urbanism and community engagement. Key lessons include that societal cohesion is important for cities, smaller localized plans can work better than top-down approaches, and governments need to listen to communities. The document proposes creating "Placemade" to transform Philippine cities into more livable, sustainable places through simplifying frameworks, inspiring local change, and collaborating with communities on projects like street paintings, gardens, and parklets.

This document provides an introduction and overview of the New Public Sites (NPS) project, which investigates overlooked public spaces through mapping, installations, tours and publications. It introduces the concept of "radical pedestrianism" and defines public space broadly. The included publication, The Typology of New Public Sites, serves to classify and describe sites, components and qualities of these new public spaces through invented terms and appropriated definitions. The goal of NPS is to draw attention to invisible sites, cultivate new publics, and resignify public space through various representational modes and participatory actions.
Defining Urban, Urbanization & Urbanism
This document discusses concepts related to urbanization, urbanism, and cities. Some key points:
- Urbanization is defined as the process of populations moving from rural to urban areas, causing cities and towns to grow. It is influenced by economic, political, and social advantages of urban living.
- Urbanism refers to the way of life in cities, and the social and cultural consequences of dense, heterogeneous urban populations. It involves more competition, specialization, and impersonal relationships than rural areas.
- New Urbanism is an urban planning movement that promotes walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods to encourage healthier, more sustainable living. It aims to build a sense of community while adopting ecological practices.

- Jane Jacobs was an influential urban theorist and activist known for her 1961 book "The Death and Life of Great American Cities". She challenged conventional urban planning practices through empirical observation.
- She advocated for mixed-use development and bottom-up community planning. She saw cities as complex ecosystems and argued diversity of uses and users were crucial to generate vibrant urban life.
- Jacobs argued high density was not inherently problematic and could support local economies if designed properly with mixed uses, short blocks, and old buildings to generate diverse street life.

This study aims at ameliorating the associated challenges emanated from the ineffective planning, management and design of market square as well as appraisal of the interactions among people of diverse ethnicity. Hence, the study explores users’ interactions and activities within three markets square in rural neighborhoods of South-west, Nigeria. The significant relationship between resident’s interactions and the community well-being was explored. Consequently, this study highlights the influence of the market square as a typical neighborhood open space on residents’ well-being. The study’s quantitative approach encircled the purposive structured survey questionnaire data obtained from Yorubas, Hausas, and Ibos respondents (n=382); and analyzed by SPSS statistical package (version 22). Meanwhile, the qualitative data included observation of various activity pattern among the three ethnic groups. The study’s findings revealed that an improvement in the market square quality becomes necessary in order to increase residents’ interactions and well-being. Also, the study elucidates the appropriate link between the built environment, residents’ interactions, and well-being. It is concluded that residents’ well-being is a reflection of an experience manifested within the interplay of individuals and groups’ social interactions. This study of people and place relationships could better equip the professionals in the built environment on the importance of creating a sustainable open space towards improving residents’ well-being and rural community revitalization efforts.

Intelligent sustainable liveable cities
The document discusses factors that contribute to intelligent, sustainable, and livable cities. It covers the following key points in 3 sentences:
Letchworth Garden City in the UK and the work of planners Ebenezer Howard and Patrick Geddes are discussed as early examples of planned communities that integrated urban and rural amenities. Modern examples like Masdar City aim to be carbon and waste neutral through traditional design and advanced technologies. As urban populations grow rapidly, challenges include traffic, pollution, inequality and ensuring prosperity for future generations through sustainable planning of large cities and regions.
presentation on public realm.pptx
The document discusses the concept of the public realm and its significance. It covers three key areas: (1) an introduction to the public realm and how it provides spaces for public interaction and civic engagement; (2) an analysis of how to ensure public realm through urban planning and design; (3) the importance of the public realm for human and social aspects, including community life, democratic participation, and collective identity formation. The public realm is examined from perspectives of urban planning, political theory, and sociology. Climate-resilient design of public spaces that consider aspects like urban heat island effect, green infrastructure, and solar access is also covered.
Strategy for the development of social interaction between architecture and s...
In modern theoretical and practical urban planning, the idea that the creation of conditions for the sustainable development of the human-made environment is solved by combining efforts of various social groups has taken root. The groups include city development planners, professional architects, urban planners and members of administrations and city residents. Architects believe that creation of public programs of additional architectural education devoted to sustainable development (energy conservation, landscaping, separate waste collection, etc.) is an effective way to popularize environmental initiatives. But do these subjects generate interest among members of the public of such a multinational megalopolis as Moscow? To answer this question, we carried out a sociological survey with participation of schoolchildren, students of the Moscow Institute of Architecture and the Moscow Civil Engineering Institute, teachers of the Moscow Architectural Institute and older residents of Moscow - participants of the Moscow Longevity Project. The survey results showed that the population of Moscow is nearly unaware of large-scale international and national environmental projects - the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Environmental Doctrine of the Russian Federation. At the same time, respondents are well informed about the existing environmental problems; they believe that it is the city administration that is responsible for them and are taking part in resolving the challenge. The main conclusion: when developing a strategy for public architectural education, one should use pedagogical methods and techniques that increase the degree of community commitment of participants, allowing for their age-related interests and financial incentives.
Keywords: additional architectural education, continuing education, sustainable development, sustainable development goals, environmental doctrine.

Smart cities: research and civic engagement in a networked society
Manu Fernandez is a researcher and urban policy consultant who has worked for 10 years on projects related to local sustainability and urban economies. He is currently freelancing in three areas: developing adaptive strategies for economic crisis, exploring the intersection of digital and social perspectives of bottom-up smart cities, and boosting economic revitalization in cities. Two major global trends are urbanization and ubiquity. Smart cities research should involve citizens and testing under real-life conditions, with the city as a platform. Civic engagement models include collective innovation labs, civic hacking, and mixing arts, creativity and technology.
Management of Rural Urban Development
The document discusses various topics related to urbanization, urban areas, and rural development. Some key points:
- Urbanization is defined as the process where populations move from rural to urban areas, enabling cities and towns to grow. It is influenced by perceived benefits in cities like economic opportunities and services.
- Characteristics of urban areas include large populations, population density, heterogeneity, and ways of life involving competition, anonymity, and individualism.
- Rural development aims to provide basic necessities, self-respect, freedom, and reduce servitude. It is a goal for improving living standards.
- New urbanism is an approach that promotes walkable, mixed-use communities and public transportation to encourage

This study aims at ameliorating the associated challenges emanated from the ineffective planning, management and design of market square as well as appraisal of the interactions among people of diverse ethnicity. Hence, the study explores users’ interactions and activities within three markets square in rural neighborhoods of South-west, Nigeria. The significant relationship between resident’s interactions and the community well-being was explored. Consequently, this study highlights the influence of the market square as a typical neighborhood open space on residents’ well-being. The study’s quantitative approach encircled the purposive structured survey questionnaire data obtained from Yorubas, Hausas, and Ibos respondents (n=382); and analyzed by SPSS statistical package (version 22). Meanwhile, the qualitative data included observation of various activity pattern among the three ethnic groups. The study’s findings revealed that an improvement in the market square quality becomes necessary in order to increase residents’ interactions and well-being. Also, the study elucidates the appropriate link between the built environment, residents’ interactions, and well-being. It is concluded that residents’ well-being is a reflection of an experience manifested within the interplay of individuals and groups’ social interactions. This study of people and place relationships could better equip the professionals in the built environment on the importance of creating a sustainable open space towards improving residents’ well-being and rural community revitalization efforts.

Intelligent sustainable liveable cities
The document discusses factors that contribute to intelligent, sustainable, and livable cities. It covers the following key points in 3 sentences:
Letchworth Garden City in the UK and the work of planners Ebenezer Howard and Patrick Geddes are discussed as early examples of planned communities that integrated urban and rural amenities. Modern examples like Masdar City aim to be carbon and waste neutral through traditional design and advanced technologies. As urban populations grow rapidly, challenges include traffic, pollution, inequality and ensuring prosperity for future generations through sustainable planning of large cities and regions.
presentation on public realm.pptx
The document discusses the concept of the public realm and its significance. It covers three key areas: (1) an introduction to the public realm and how it provides spaces for public interaction and civic engagement; (2) an analysis of how to ensure public realm through urban planning and design; (3) the importance of the public realm for human and social aspects, including community life, democratic participation, and collective identity formation. The public realm is examined from perspectives of urban planning, political theory, and sociology. Climate-resilient design of public spaces that consider aspects like urban heat island effect, green infrastructure, and solar access is also covered.
Strategy for the development of social interaction between architecture and s...
In modern theoretical and practical urban planning, the idea that the creation of conditions for the sustainable development of the human-made environment is solved by combining efforts of various social groups has taken root. The groups include city development planners, professional architects, urban planners and members of administrations and city residents. Architects believe that creation of public programs of additional architectural education devoted to sustainable development (energy conservation, landscaping, separate waste collection, etc.) is an effective way to popularize environmental initiatives. But do these subjects generate interest among members of the public of such a multinational megalopolis as Moscow? To answer this question, we carried out a sociological survey with participation of schoolchildren, students of the Moscow Institute of Architecture and the Moscow Civil Engineering Institute, teachers of the Moscow Architectural Institute and older residents of Moscow - participants of the Moscow Longevity Project. The survey results showed that the population of Moscow is nearly unaware of large-scale international and national environmental projects - the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Environmental Doctrine of the Russian Federation. At the same time, respondents are well informed about the existing environmental problems; they believe that it is the city administration that is responsible for them and are taking part in resolving the challenge. The main conclusion: when developing a strategy for public architectural education, one should use pedagogical methods and techniques that increase the degree of community commitment of participants, allowing for their age-related interests and financial incentives.
Keywords: additional architectural education, continuing education, sustainable development, sustainable development goals, environmental doctrine.

INTELLIGENT-URBANISM.pptx
This principle states there is a level of human habitation intensity wherein the resources that are consumed will be replaced through the replenishing natural cycles of the seasons, creating environmental equilibrium. Embedded in the principle is contention that so long as nature can resurge each year; so long as the biomass can survive within its own eco-system; so long as the breeding grounds of fauna and avifauna are safe; so long as there is no erosion and the biomass is maintained, nature is only being utilized.

This document provides an overview of the Alta Aspen Grove apartment development in Littleton, Colorado. Key points include:
1) The 280-unit development has a mix of 1, 2, and 3 bedroom units and is achieving absorption of 21 units per month at $1.45-$1.50 gross rents.
2) Development costs were approximately $165,000 per unit due to low land costs of $27,000 per unit and catching the construction market during a trough.
3) The development received HUD financing at a current rate of 5.71% with mortgage insurance, providing an assumable, non-recourse loan.
Marc goldstein, Building Capital Stacks in Today's Market
The document discusses different capital stack structures for real estate investments, including some that worked and some that didn't. A Denver high-rise apartment development used a 65% construction loan with an option to add mezzanine financing up to 85% of the capital stack, which increased returns but also risk. A single tenant retail portfolio acquired using a DST structure with 50% long-term CMBS debt at 5% fixed worked well, providing a levered 6% return to investors. Factors like loan-to-value ratios, interest rates, equity multiples, and internal rates of return are compared for different deals.
Jeffrey bijur, Building Capital Stacks in Today's Market
The document discusses different capital stack structures for real estate investments. It describes a Denver high-rise apartment development that used a 65% construction loan and option to add mezzanine financing up to 85% LTV, which increased returns but also risk. It also describes a successful single tenant retail portfolio acquired using a DST structure with 50% long-term CMBS financing, which provided stable cash flows and returns. The document cautions that while increased leverage can boost returns, it also increases risk, so capital stack design is important to balance risk and return.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
