The compact introduction about brandnew neighborhood movement and planning in Japan.(I presented it in the conference of "Neighborhoods,USA" in Little Rock (AR) on 27 May 2010.
The document discusses urban regeneration as a tool for housing delivery in Nigeria. It outlines the concepts and types of regeneration, challenges of housing delivery in Nigeria including issues with land, finance, and previous housing policies. It provides examples of urban renewal programs in Lagos, challenges they face, and examples of regeneration programs in other countries. Regeneration can help address poverty, unemployment, infrastructure issues, and improve communities when implemented as a coordinated long-term economic, social and environmental intervention.
This document discusses urban regeneration and social innovation in the city of Sestao, Spain. It describes Sestao Berri, a public organization created to promote socio-urban regeneration and community development. Sestao Berri uses social intervention models and community action projects to address social issues during the urban regeneration process. Examples of projects discussed include rehousing management, community workshops, and the TRIME energy saving initiative. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of social intervention planning, community action, and the role of local intermediaries in scaling up urban social innovation.
The Method and Practices of ‘Machizukuri’ Movement in Japan based on the Idea...IRJET Journal
This document discusses the concept of "Machizukuri" in Japan and analyzes how renowned Japanese architect Fumihiko Maki applied its principles in his Hillside Terrace Apartments project. Machizukuri refers to community-based town building and improvement efforts that focus on revitalizing existing local culture and environment rather than new construction. Maki's Hillside Terrace Apartments, developed over 25 years in six phases, exemplified Machizukuri through its emphasis on linkages and relationships between buildings, public spaces, and the surrounding community. By engaging with local stakeholders and emphasizing pedestrian connectivity and visual/social connections, Maki was able to gradually develop the apartments in a way that strengthened the local community
Sustainable development planning for Zimbabwe bkambasha
This is not a report from City of Harare or Gvt of Zimbabwe but from just a citizen concerned about his beautiful city of Harare the SUNSHINE CITY. Sustainable development starts with us the residents of the city, private companies, visitors to the city and finally the government. Look around our beautiful city how we have done to it, it needs us "each and every citizen, private company and visitors" to do something each day towards helping to restore that status SUNSHINE CITY.
A short hostory of urban planning in bangladesh newAkhter Chaudhury
This document provides a history of urban planning in Bangladesh, beginning with the establishment of the Dhaka Improvement Trust in 1956 and other development authorities in major cities in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It also discusses the establishment of the Housing and Settlement Directorate in 1958 to address refugee housing needs following the partition of India and Pakistan. The Directorate developed 34 housing estates across the country between 1958-1997, providing over 67,000 residential units. In 2001, the National Housing Authority was formed to implement the new National Housing Policy, focusing on housing for all income groups.
This document is mainly on the periodical development of Bangladesh mostly its cities and towns. To this day the master plans, local initiatives and authorities to establish todays urban culture has been gathered here promptly.
Here, the history is associated from the early times of 2nd World War to modern days detailed area mapping.
More focus has been put on urban planning development and the working agenda of various initiative those had been taken and proposed to be taken .
This study used data from nearly 300,000 Utah residents to examine the link between neighborhood food environments and residents' body mass index (BMI). The researchers analyzed how having access to only healthy grocery stores, convenience stores, full-service restaurants, fast food restaurants, or a mix of food options, compared to having no retail food access, impacted residents' odds of being obese. They found that neighborhood food diversity was associated with overweight/obesity risk, especially for those living in poor neighborhoods. The results suggest implications for new urban development and public policies aimed at increasing neighborhood diversity.
The document discusses several studies that examined the relationship between community design features and physical activity. The Addy et al. study found that physical activity was positively associated with street lighting, trusting neighbors, and parks. It also found walking was associated with active neighborhoods, sidewalks, and community malls. The Ewing et al. study found that residents of more sprawling counties were more likely to spend less time walking and be heavier. The Smith et al. study in Salt Lake County found that less walkable neighborhoods, as measured by newer housing, fewer people walking to work, and lower intersection density, were associated with higher odds of residents being overweight.

Panel Discussion: State-of-the-Art Research: Jennifer Ahern, Ph.D.TheAdlerSchool
The document discusses how neighborhood social environments can impact mental health and health behaviors. It focuses on research showing that higher levels of collective efficacy in a community, characterized by social cohesion and willingness to intervene for the common good, are associated with lower rates of violence and depression. Analysis of data from a New York City study estimated that neighborhoods with low collective efficacy had a prevalence of violence that was 8.7% higher than neighborhoods with high collective efficacy, with a 95% confidence interval of 4.6% to 13.8%.
New Urbanism is an American planning movement that advocates for walkable, neighborhood-based developments as an alternative to suburban sprawl. It promotes implementing zoning and land development codes that focus on mixed-use, mixed housing, and pedestrian-oriented design within traditional neighborhood structures to make communities more connected, sustainable and less dependent on automobiles.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of weight relative to height that is used to determine obesity levels. A BMI over 30 is considered obese, which increases risks for many health issues and costs over $75 billion annually in medical expenses. Factors contributing to obesity include poor nutrition, lack of exercise, and time pressures. Neighborhood design may also influence obesity risks by affecting opportunities for physical activity, food choices, and transportation options. Specifically, higher density neighborhoods with well-connected streets and diverse destinations may encourage more walking compared to lower density areas with limited connectivity.
New Urbanism emerged in the late 20th century as a response to the negative impacts of modernist urban planning from the mid-1900s. The document provides a timeline of influential urban planning projects throughout history starting from ancient Greek and Roman cities to company towns in the 19th century industrial era and early 20th century garden cities. It then outlines the "perfect storm" of factors in the mid-1900s including racism, highway expansion, and modernist ideals that led to the decline of existing urban areas and rise of automobile-dependent suburbs, setting the stage for New Urbanism.
The document discusses how social and environmental factors impact health and access to healthcare. It outlines that where someone lives determines their health based on things like water quality, smoking bans, food access, and healthcare resources. Access to healthcare varies across communities based on race, income, education, insurance status, and disability. A behavioral model shows how predisposing characteristics, enabling factors, and health needs influence healthcare utilization. Neighborhood characteristics like socioeconomic disadvantage, physical environments, and social networks can decrease access to primary care and increase unmet needs. Investing in community prevention and changing neighborhood environments can increase access and produce healthcare savings.
New Urbanism is an urban planning movement that promotes the development of walkable neighborhoods with a variety of housing and mixed uses. It advocates for compact, mixed-use development that contains housing, jobs, shops and amenities within walkable neighborhoods in order to reduce dependence on cars. New Urbanist developments include features like street grids that facilitate walking and cycling, a defined neighborhood center and edges, and publicly accessible open spaces.
Introduction to epidemiology and it's measurementswrigveda
Epidemiology is defined as the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in specified populations. It has three main components - distribution, determinants, and frequency. Measurement of disease frequency involves quantifying disease occurrence and is a prerequisite for epidemiological investigation. Rates, ratios, and proportions are key tools used to measure disease frequency and distribution. Incidence rates measure new cases over time while prevalence rates measure existing cases. These measurements are essential for describing disease patterns, formulating hypotheses, and evaluating prevention programs.
Presentation to the International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) North America Conference in Winnipeg on the design assistance progress, it's adapted models, and how it applies to a variety of community settings.
This document discusses using OpenStreetMap (OSM) to support participatory community restoration efforts in areas affected by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. It presents two case studies of OSM mapping parties held in Kamaishi and Ishinomaki to collect local geospatial knowledge and discuss restoration maps. The parties engaged local residents and collected detailed points of interest. Resulting OSM maps showed restoration progress and highlighted features like temporary housing and tourism attractions. However, evaluating restoration and addressing gaps in IT skills remain challenges. Ongoing support like OSM basecamps could further mapping contributions to rebuilding.
Imagine Austin, second Community Forums presentationgclaxton
The document summarizes a community forum for Austin's Comprehensive Plan. It provides an overview of the planning process, including trends affecting Austin's future like population growth. A draft vision statement is presented with components like Austin being livable, prosperous, natural and sustainable. Activities include reviewing the draft vision and an exercise where community members allocate "chips" representing land use to visualize future development scenarios for Austin.
This document summarizes citizen engagement efforts in cities and the role of design assistance teams in facilitating community-led change. It notes that over 80% of US cities regularly use public engagement processes and over half of citizens want to be involved in community planning. Design assistance teams provide a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to help communities beyond just plans by engaging citizens, fostering partnerships, and creating action strategies to leverage public and private resources for implementation. Examples of design assistance projects in cities like Detroit, Austin, and post-Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts are briefly described.
Introduction to Transition Design: Community Energy in JapanRMIT University
While Japan aims to reduce fossil fuel reliance through nuclear power, many local initiatives show more concern for environmental issues. These projects are often framed around practical, local narratives around rural depopulation and aging, not just environmental crisis. Japan faces challenges in rural revitalization and climate action as population declines can increase emissions when elderly live alone over wide areas. Local climate projects differ in goals from national plans and each other based on geography, demographics, and politics. Climate change actions are often not primarily addressed through that frame, but through local problems. Committed groups still face challenges despite climate protection's national prominence.
The Municipal Art Society of New York (MAS) has advocated for quality urban planning and design in New York City since 1893. It has played a key role in establishing important organizations and laws related to planning, preservation, and placemaking. The document provides an overview of MAS and outlines New York City's government structure, including the roles of the Mayor, City Council, community boards, and various agencies involved in land use, development, housing, and design.
Handmade urbanism refers to urban change and development carried out by local residents through their own efforts and means to address problems in their neighborhoods. It typically results in improvements to both the built environment and quality of life through community-led initiatives that recognize local needs, utilize existing resources creatively, and forge partnerships. Studies of handmade urbanism acknowledge the significant role residents have played in building parts of cities without assistance from formal planning or design processes.
Manchester has a long history of civic philanthropy dating back 300 years. In the industrial era, figures like Humphry Chetham and John Rylands funded civic projects around knowledge, culture and infrastructure. In the post-industrial regeneration era from the 1980s onward, figures like Tom Bloxham and Peter Saville spearheaded cultural regeneration projects. Manchester has developed complex governance structures to coordinate its economic development at the city-regional level, building on a tradition of partnership between local authorities. This includes the Greater Manchester Combined Authority and innovative bodies like the Manchester Alliance.

The main topics covered are:
1) Yokohama's response to the 2011 earthquake, including establishing a disaster headquarters, dispatching over 1,700 officials to assist with relief efforts, and coordinating with other cities.
2) An interview with Margareta Wahlström of UNISDR who discusses the importance of viewing disaster risk reduction holistically and focusing on prevention by making choices to build more resilient infrastructure and social systems.
3) CITYNET's role in advocating for safer cities through initiatives like the
The city of theory, planning in the face of conflict, contested cities social...Desy Rosnita Sari
The document summarizes three articles about the history and evolution of urban planning. It discusses how the planning paradigm has shifted over time from a focus on design to incorporating more community engagement, data analysis, and consideration of social and political factors. Planners now take on roles as mediators and negotiators to manage conflicts between competing stakeholder groups given the imbalance of power in planning processes. Cities are understood not just as physical forms but as ongoing processes shaped by social, economic and political dynamics over time and place. The messy and political nature of planning challenges the profession to maintain relevance across diverse fields of study and practice.

Title: A Comparative History Partnership From a Historical Institutional Theory View―A Brief Introduction of Three Experiments Beyond Conventional City Planning 1970-1991 in Kotake-Mukaihara District, Tokyo―
[September 30, 2018, revised edition]
This document provides a literature review and analysis of urban environment problems from modern and postmodern perspectives. It discusses how modernism led to issues like urban sprawl and segregated land use through master planning and prioritizing infrastructure for cars. Postmodernism aimed to address these issues through mixed-use development, but did not fully consider economic and sustainability needs. The conclusion calls for a new "post-sustainability" approach that holistically addresses the root causes of problems in a way that balances social, economic and environmental goals.
Potentiality of Roundtable Meeting in Japan -From the position of NPO/NGO-diversityjapan
1. NPOs and NGOs are expected to play a larger role in society as collaborators with governments and companies, where their responsibilities have expanded beyond supplemental and advisory roles.
2. NNNet was formed in 2009 as a network for NPOs and NGOs to improve social responsibility and selects representatives for multi-stakeholder processes like the Roundtable for SR.
3. The Roundtable for SR was effective for issue identification and strategy planning but had issues with dissemination, commitment to strategies, and follow up. Expanding topics, regional involvement, and including more stakeholders could further improve multi-stakeholder processes.

The document discusses the concept of a Village Council to represent neighborhoods in San Tan Valley, Arizona. It proposes forming a coalition of community groups, businesses, and individuals called the San Tan Valley Neighborhood Coalition to advocate for shared community interests to the Pinal County government. Examples are given of similar neighborhood coalitions in other cities that meet regularly and provide a unified voice to address issues of importance to residents, such as development, transportation, and infrastructure. Committees are outlined that would be formed to organize the coalition's activities, including communication, outreach, research, and developing a neighborhood profile. The benefits of a coalition are said to include creating a forum to discuss issues, develop solutions, and partner with the county government.
The document discusses the concept of a Village Council to represent neighborhoods in San Tan Valley, Arizona. It proposes forming a coalition of community groups, businesses, and individuals called the San Tan Valley Neighborhood Coalition to advocate for shared community values and standards. The coalition would be modeled after similar successful programs in other cities and counties that establish neighborhood villages with representative councils. This would provide residents with a united voice and give neighborhoods formal representation in decisions by county agencies.
This document summarizes a publication about community-driven urban improvement initiatives in 5 cities. It describes 15 projects across Mumbai, São Paulo, Istanbul, Mexico City, and Cape Town that were realized by local residents to address challenges. The publication includes illustrations and interviews with stakeholders to understand how the projects were organized and their impact. It examines the potential of these grassroots efforts to shape urban development and discusses alternative approaches to planning from the bottom-up.
This document provides an overview of the Lee's Summit 360 strategic planning process. It describes the formation of an initiating committee that selected the project name, identified stakeholders, and established subcommittees. 167 stakeholders then worked over 8 months to create a strategic plan identifying 6 Key Performance Areas: Economic Development, Education, Health and Human Services, Local Government, Quality of Life, and Transportation. The process involved creating a vision statement, conducting a community scan, and developing action plans. The final plan is intended to guide decision making over the next 10-15 years.
This document discusses neighbourhood planning in North West England and the barriers encountered. It finds that while neighbourhood planning has the potential to empower communities, in practice it has primarily benefited more affluent rural areas. Unexpected barriers in deprived urban areas included a lack of support from local planning authorities and opposition from local politicians. More funding and education is needed to help neighbourhood planning reach its progressive potential in overcoming inequalities between places.
This document discusses democratic approaches to urban planning and city building. It highlights the importance of public participation and inclusive governance. Some key points made include:
- Cities are changing rapidly and require smart, long-range planning and new forms of devolved governance that give more power to local governments and involve civil society.
- Trickle-down approaches to urban development will not work; planning needs to be participatory and involve city residents.
- Examples of participatory projects, like the High Line in New York City, show how collaboration between the public and private sectors can transform places.
- Design assistance teams provide a model for bringing together multidisciplinary experts to work intensively with communities on planning processes.
This document summarizes a presentation on global migration trends and potential lessons for Moscow. Some key points:
- By 2025, 225 Chinese cities will have over 1 million people as 350 million are added to urban populations. India will have 68 cities over 1 million people.
- Migration creates externalities like spatial/temporal mismatches between where impacts occur and resources are needed. There are also normative questions around membership and responsibility.
- Cities have become more productive due to learning from diverse people, but managing inclusion remains a challenge. Municipal governance principles include shared identities looking forward, transnational citizenship, hospitality for newcomers, and transparent decision-making.
