There is no scientific evidence or sound frameworks on how place branding strategies could support the conservation of landscape amenities. This is in comparison to prior research that has thoroughly investigated how the economic revenues generated through the promotion of urban features in branding (e.g. raise of tax income) is reinvested back into improving/developing new urban features as roads, airports or in building a new cultural facility (e.g. Cleave et al., 2016). Only a few, yet relevant studies for this proposal, outline the importance of preserved landscapes amenities to economic growth and rural development (Cleave et al., 2019). Sound scientific studies are hence required to assess the existing and potential roles of amenities-based branding strategies at the urban regional level in supporting landscape conservation. This proposal addresses this gap. The primary research question – Can branding strategies at the urban regional level be used as an instrument of landscape conservation?
Pursuing any development or neighborhood plan today involves
working with a myriad of actors beyond professional collaborators
during planning and design phases. These include direct abutters,
surrounding neighbors, elected offi cials, public agencies, opponents
(often), investors, financial institutions, and regulators, all billed as
“stakeholders.” Navigating the shoals created by cadres of stakeholders
is perhaps the greatest challenge to pursuing sophisticated
ideas about and goals for urbanism.
Consensus around goals that arenot very ambitious is, unfortunately, common. However, rather thanwallow in despair about the unpredictable nature of decentralized processes, urban designers must learn to be more effective collaborators,willing participants in true interdisciplinary endeavors, and advocatesfor ideas not always their own, ideas that have the potential
to rally others around higher expectations, not expedient solutions.
Such skills are not always available in a designer’s tool kit.
Some blame the messiness of democratized processes for producing mediocrity.
On the other hand, many can offer examples of substantial benefits to projects as a result of broader community participation.
Then, too, there is that maxim among seasoned urban designers, “To
envision takes talent, to implement takes genius.”

Urban design is that part of city planning which deals with the physical form of the city. This is the most creative phase of city planning and that in which imaginationand artistic capacities can play a more important part. It may also be in some respects the most difficult and controversial phase; and because of all these factors, it has been less explored than other aspects.
With the new approach to architecture, landscape architecture, road
engineering, and city planning, accepted formulas had to be thrown
overboard.
It is logical that the changes in all these fields have developed independently, each group trying to establish a new set of principles and a new language of forms. It now seems equally logical that the progress in the different professions be brought closer together, so that a synthesis can be achieved in terms of urban design.
I do believe that now, after many years of individual, isolated work, we are logically coming to an era of synthesis. Like the instruments in an orchestra, these elements of urban design all have their parts to play in the total performance. The result must be harmonious and cannot be reached by individual competition. I believe we are conscious that city planners, landscape architects, and architects can be only part of a larger team of specialists required to solve urban design problems; but I also believe that our three professions are already very close and that it may be easier first to come to an agreement among ourselves and then, later on, discuss the participation and relationship of the other specialists who should complete the team.
In the socio-economic planning process, the understanding of the interrelationships underlying the two types of landscape above described is essential. Each regional context is characterized by particularities of history, by attitudes, beliefs and values, political and legal traditions different socio-economic patterns and concept of justice, interpretation of planning tasks and responsibilities and different structures of governance, in other terms: by its specific characteristics. In spatial planning, physical and social features like topography, drainage, climate, population settlements etc. are significant elements. They are interlinked and interdependent in such a way that they affect each other. So, change in any single element brings change in whole pattern of the region. This present review article attempts the analysis of different aspects of development in the region for its socio-economic development. It explains the concepts of space, region and planning and focuses on need of planning and types of planning locational theories of planning. The ideas of the present paper may be useful in generation of a platform for better spatial planning to bring improvement in social well- being of the people living in this region.
2008 a framework for regeneration more questions than answers - pugalisLee Pugalis
A recent consultation report from the Department of Communities and Local Government which goes by the rhetorical title of, Transforming places; changing lives A framework for regeneration, goes some way to laying the groundwork for proposals first set out in the Review of Sub-National Economic Development and Regeneration (SNR). The framework proclaims to set out ‘an ambitious package of proposals – for consultation – that aim to shape the way that regeneration is carried out in future in England’. Yet upon reading the report’s 159 pages one is left with a strange feeling of déjà vu. This is followed by a suspicion that much of what Government are suggesting is already a done deal; with many economic development officers and policy-makers already busy working on the package of proposals. I shall briefly summarise the key measures of the framework before questioning the timing of this consultation in light of the determination of regional funding allocations.

Graham, Stephen, and Patsy Healey. "Relational concepts of space and place: i...Stephen Graham
This paper seeks to conceptualise and explore the changing relationships between planning action and practice and the dynamics of place. It argues that planning practice is grappling with new treatments of place, based on dynamic, relational constructs, rather than the Euclidean, deterministic, and one-dimensional treatments inherited from the 'scientific' approaches of the 1960s and early 1970s. But such emerging planning practices remain poorly served by planning theory which has so far failed to produce sufficiently robust and sophisticated conceptual treatments of place in today's 'globalising' world. In this paper we attempt to draw on a wide range of recent advances in social theory to begin constructing such a treatment. The paper has four parts. First, we criticise the legacy of object-oriented, Euclidean concepts of planning theory and practice, and their reliance on 'containered' views of space and time. Second, we construct a relational understanding of time, space and cities by drawing together four strands of recent social theory. These are : relational theories of urban time-space, dynamic conceptualisations of 'multiplex' places and cities, the 'new' urban and regional socio-economics, and emerging theories of social agency and institutional ordering. In the third section, we apply such perspectives to three worlds of planning practice : land use regulation, policy frameworks and development plans, and the development of 'customised spaces' in urban 'regeneration'. Finally, by way of conclusion, we suggest some pointers for practising planning in a relational way.

Marcas territoriais como um instrumento do planeamento territorial estratégicoPrivate
A principal linha de raciocínio postulada neste documento e nos artigos académicos que lhe
deram origem - place branding como um instrumento do planeamento estratégico territorial - é uma
linha de raciocínio e de investigação que pretende ir muito mais além do que a escala regional.
Procura também distanciar-se da abordagem baseada em princípios e conceitos do branding e
marketing corporativos que continuam a dominar o discurso contemporâneo em place branding.
Importa ainda sublinhar que a linha de raciocínio exacerbada nesta tese não pretende menosprezar
ou desvalorizar o valor de uma abordagem mais próxima aos conceitos dos negócios, como branding
e marketing corporativos, mas visa sim complementá-la e enriquecê-la - explorando uma abordagem
mais geográfica-territorial ao place branding que pode introduzir mais eficácia, ser mais justa e
socialmente mais responsável.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Key elements of governance in strategic spatial plan making and plan-implementation
1. Prepared by Eduardo Oliveira, Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL,
Birmensdorf, Switzerland, 19.05.2016
Key elements of governance
in strategic spatial
plan-making
and
plan-implementation
2. • Why is this research relevant?
• Where do we stand?
• What are the main research objectives?
• What are the main research questions?
• Our working definition of (territorial) governance?
• Our set of (territorial) governance elements?
• Finding answers for RQ (i.e. case studies, data, outputs)?
Wondering?...
3. Why is this research relevant (I)?
• Spatial planning and spatial planning strategies
are a part of the relations of governance
(Healey, 2006).
• Spatial planning consists of a set of governance
practices/elements/arrangements for
developing strategies and plans (Healey, 2006).
• Spatial planning strategies provide a credible
forum in which key actors / policy sectors /
society can envisioning agreed/collective
defined futures (Haughton et al., 2010)
4. Why is this research relevant (II)?
In spite of some academic and policy oriented
literature on governance
little attention has been paid to the role of
governance in strategic spatial
plan-making and plan-implementation
What happens in between…
*e.g. Van Well et al. (2016); ESPON (2014); Nuissl and Heinrichs, (2011).
5. Where do we stand (state of the art I)?
• Davoudi et al. (2008) focus on territorial dimension of
governance in relation to the actors / key players involved.
• Schmitt, P. & Van Well (2016) focus on what is territorial
governance and why does it matter in European projects.
• Stead (2014) examines how the notion is used and
understood in European policy debates.
• Allmendinger et al. (2015) focus on governance in soft
spaces / fuzzy boundaries / supra-regional partnerships.
• Faludi (2012) focus on the differences between multi-
level governance and territorial governance.
6. Where do we stand (state of the art II)?
Available studies* focus on governance and…Available studies* focus on governance and…
• Theoretical conceptualization / reconceptualization,
dimensions, why governance matters.
• Soft spaces such as macro-regions (Oresund),
cross-border territories (Fehmarn Belt).
• Neoliberalism, spatial justice, political condition.
• Specific geographical areas such as natural parks,
river basins, districts.
• Specific projects/programmes such as European
capital of culture, EU funding programmes.
*e.g. Schmitt and Van Well (2015), Hilier (2007), Davoudi, et al. (2008), Stead
(2013), Allmendinger et al. (2015), Salet et al. (2003)
7. Where do we stand (state of the art III)?

8. What are the main objectives?
1. Identify the key elements influencing the
performance of territorial governance in
strategic spatial plan-making and plan-
implementation.
2. Describe how do these elements of
governance impact land use and land
cover change in urban regions.
9. What are the main research questions?
What are the key
elements influencing the
performance of territorial
governance?
How are these key
elements
operationalised?
What are the impacts of
these key elements on
land use and
land cover change?
in strategic spatial
plan-making and
plan-implementation
10. Towards a working definition (I)
Depending on which concept of territory
is adopted - different concepts of
governance are applied and that imply
specific features,
elements and evaluations
(Davoudi et al., 2008).
11. Towards a working definition (II)
Spatial governance
(e.g.Tewdwr-Jones,
Allmendinger, 2006)
Regional governance
(e.g. Albrechts, Healey &
Kunzmann, 2003; Foster and
Barnes, 2012)
Metropolitan governance
(e.g.Salet, Thornley &
Kreukels 2003)
Evolutionary governance
(e.g.Beunen, Assche &
Duineveld, 2015)
Urban governance
(e.g.Brenner, 1999)
Urban land governance
(e.g.World Bank)
Multispatial Metagovernance
(e.g.Jessop, 2016)
Territorial governance
(e.g. Schmitt & Van Well,
2016)
12. Working definition of territorial governance
• The formulation and implementation of strategic plans
and public policies, for the improvement of the
environmental, economic, spatial and social conditions of
a territory (e.g. urban region).
• Is a process that focus on territorial capacity,
adaptiveness and purpose. Is responsive, accountable
and responsible. It implies coordination and integration
of perspectives of multiple interested groups, key
players, civic society - joined-up in a hopefully
collectively defined strategic-territorial agenda.
• It adds territorial-knowledge. Is context-sensitive, focus
on real-world plan-making, plan-implementation
processes and on the impacts upon land change.
14. Set of key elements of territorial governance
