This is an exercise on unfolding especial dimensions of Urbanism. In this exercise, we explore SKILLS, TOOLS, VALUES, KNOWLEDGE and VALUES of the URBANIST, suing mind mapping techniques to discuss and expand our ideas.
What is Urbanism at TU Delft ? (v. 2016)Roberto Rocco
This is a presentation where I introduce basic ideas on what is Urbanism at TU Delft and how it is taught. This presentation cannot be seen as the official view of the university on the subject. It is my interpretation of the course and reflects my understanding of the integration of the human sciences, the physical sciences and most particularly DESIGN in the course given at TU Delft. In this presentation, I take special care of explaining what are "objectives" of urbanism, so as to give prospective students a good notion of the tasks ahead.
What is the role of THEORY in Urbanism?Roberto Rocco
This is a presentation prepared for the course Methodology for Urbanism (Ar2U090) of the the TU Delft, Faculty of Architecture. In this presentation we discuss what is theory and why we need theories in Urbanism.
Brief Introduction to Strategic PlanningRoberto Rocco
This is a quite long presentation on strategic planning. It is composed by two main parts: recent shifts in the understanding of urban planning and design + basic elements of strategic planning. This presentation can be seen without a presenter (hence the text).

This is a presentation on general issues of methodology in the human sciences applied to an education in Urbanism. Our position is that in order to design and plan our cities and regions, students and professionals must underpin their assumptions with solid research. There are basic criteria for any academic endeavour and a set of basic elements in any research project. This presentation discusses these issues and suggests ways to go about the initial literature research. (this presentation is directed to TU Delft Urbanism students).

He was an Austrian architect, born Vienna in 1843
Camillo Sitte was the son of the architect Franz Sitte(1808–79) and the father of the architect Siegfried Sitte (1876–1945).
He was an art historian and architect whose writings, according to Eliel Saarinen, were familiar to German-speaking architects of the late 19th century.
He was also an painter and urban theorist whose work influenced urban planning and land use regulation.
Sitte traveled extensively in Western Europe, seeking to identify the factors that made certain towns feel warm and welcoming.
Sitte saw architecture was a process and product of culture.

What is Research By Design? Some pointersRoberto Rocco
This presentation was prepared for the course 'Methodology for Urbanism' at the faculty of Architecture of the Delft University of Technology. It builds on the ideas of Biggs and Buchler (2008) about Practice based research (PbR) and tries to understand and explain "research by design" at TU Delft. We consider that there are several problems with "research by design". The main problem is the lack of common definition. Each researcher/designer seems to use the expression in a different way. This makes it impossible to convey ideas about research by design to an external audience. Students also face problems, because they are generally unable to explain the actions or steps connected to research by design. The beginning of the process is particularly difficult: does research by design tackle an assignment coming from somewhere else? Is there an initial question to be answered? What does you want to "know" when you do research by design?

Evaluation criteria for Urbanism based on Sustainability and Spatial JusticeRoberto Rocco
What if we could evaluate projects, plans and designs using an enhanced concept of sustainability? “For sustainability to occur, it must occur simultaneously in each of its three dimensions” (economic, social and environmental) Larsen, 2012. These three crucial and necessary dimensions of sustainability are, each of them, connected to big traditions of study and analysis that must be integrated. My claim here is that this enhanced concept of sustainability help us derive solid criteria to evaluate plans, project and designs in Urbanism through the idea of Spatial Justice, and to connect this evaluation to larger academic traditions.

[slides available at http://www.slideshare.net/urijoe/paper-presentation-at-iasdr-2009-seoul-south-korea]
This is a second take on a philosophical understanding of governance, from the point of view of knowledge and power. Here I try to understand the concept and what's it for using three main thinkers: Habermas, Foucault and Merleau-Ponty. While I claim that this is not cherry-picking of concepts, the truth is that there is much more to be said about governance from the point of view of knowledge formation.

Rhetorical Handbook. An Illustrated Manual for UX/UI Designers.Omar Sosa-Tzec
This handbook is the result of an exploratory study that tries to connect rhetoric and user experience (UX). Here, the user interface (UI) becomes the middle point through which rhetorical figures can be applied to influence the user experience.
Based on the "Rhetorical Handbook" by Hanno Ehses and Ellen Lupton (1988)
The place matters. We were born there, have been living and working there, entered there and exited from there. Places are an object of observation from the outside while we experience them from the inside. A place is the most ethnographic level of observation of relational territorialisation.
However, do we really know how territories behave? Can we really observe in practise the notion of the Network Territory? How does the dynamic concept of a territory fit and juxtapose with that of a network?
Some territories are putting all their efforts, thanks to the common work of public, private, and civil agents, into restructuring the post-crisis economic and social system. Nevertheless, can we observe and see what is occurring in these places and territories? How are we supposed to observe those big black boxes with input and output but with an unknown and hardly explainable process? How can we apply hermeneutics to the socially innovating processes in the networked territories at any scale? What tools should we use for this observation? What tools do we want and can we use to intervene? What effect do we ultimately want to have?
All these elements may demand a systemic vision in the cybernetic multidisciplinary sense that Social Innovation requires and that links with the two main currents of Social Innovation in a coherent way: we are referring to, on the one hand, the more academic approach, with a social justice dimension, aligned towards the Territory and Social Economy and, on the other hand, the more practitioner and policy-making approach, championed by the third-way labour school of thought of the Young Foundation, Nesta and Demos.
This publication is thus to suggest taking a step back to achieve some impulse and present a Territory Systemic Framework from Social Innovation. We mixed elements from
Action Research as a suggestion for the investigation methodology, the way to observe the Territory from the viewpoint or paradigm of Social Innovation. That is to say that we de-constructe the Territory into three scales (#Macro, #Meso and #Micro) to be able to observe, understand, and implement social transformations. What we know now is that the future of Territories is currently determined by two variables: their network-notion and their value of commons. The Territories that are able to mingle with the collective intelligence that is strategically aligned with the understanding of the Territory-Network and Common Welfare will be in a better position to undertake some real processes of Social Innovation within themselves. Which policies, projects, and agents/people should be promoted within the Territories? And what role do creative atmospheres or ecosystems play?
Let us then answer three questions:
What? Why? How? That is to say, Territory, Social Innovation, and Action Research.

Despiste the provocative title, this lecture delivers an account of how the idea of Active Citizenship has evolved in history and how this idea is related to the Right to the City. True citizen participation has the potential to deliver the right to the city. In this lecture, I explore a very old line of thought that goes from Aristotle and Plato, to Rousseau, Hannah Arendt, Henri Lefebvre and David Harvey, all of whom affirm the power of active or engaged citizenship in shaping the city while simultaneously shaping us.

A New Urban Agenda in Times of Financial CapitalismRoberto Rocco
Keynote presentation by Roberto Rocco at the LANDAC Conference (Land Governance for Equitable and Sustainable Development), Muntgebouw, Utrecht, June 30 2016.
The 2016 LANDac Annual International Land Conference ‘Land governance in the context of urbanisation and climate change: Linking the rural and the urban’ will take place on Thursday 30 June and Friday 1 July in Utrecht, the Netherlands (Muntgebouw). The conference builds on the success of the 2015 International Conference in which LANDac brought together stakeholders from around the world, from a variety of backgrounds. The 2016 conference focuses on topics related to rural-urban land governance and climate change. For more information, visit http://www.landgovernance.org
In this presentation, I give an example of spatial strategy in which the Dutch Government seeks to strengthen the cohesion and consequently increase competitiveness of the Randstad (the networked city region in the West of the Netherlands, where the four main Dutch cities are located: Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht).

Why discuss Spatial Justice in Urbanism studies?Roberto Rocco
Why discuss Spatial Justice in Urbanism studies?
In this text, I discuss why it is crucial to include justice as a parameter to evaluate plans, projects and designs and suggest some criteria.
This is a text I wrote for the ATLANTIS magazine, the magazine edited by the students of the Department of Urbanism of the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), where I work as an Assistant Professor at the Group of Spatial Planning and Strategy.

Points of reflection for ethics in urbanism Roberto Rocco
This is a list of issues in Urbanism where ethical judgment plays a crucial role. We have elaborated this list with TU Delft students of Urbanism in mind. These are points students have asked us about, or points we’ve noticed students struggling with. This list does not tell you what to do. It invites you to reflect on issues where ethical judgment is necessary.
The TU Delft puts the highest importance on issues of ethics. And in fact, in order to form “good urbanists”, we need to provide them with knowledge and skills, but we also need to discuss ethical values. In fact, we recognize the importance of forming critical minds, which will be able to solve complex problems in the real world: minds that are able to investigate issues concerning the built environment and society, reflect upon them, communicate results clearly and articulate solutions among different stakeholders. These are activities that involve moral judgments and accountability towards the public.
Learning from Darwin: What can the man who wrote The Origin of Species teach ...Roberto Rocco
‘On the Origin of Species’ was published on 24 November 1859. It is a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin, and it is considered the foundation of evolutionary biology. In this text, we read the INTRODUCTION to The Origin of Species and highlight aspects of the text that are relevant for us to understand a scientific attitude and how to translate this attitude into text. This exercise is intended to Urbanism students who are unsure about the tone and the kind of language they met adopt in scientific reports. The text we are about to analyse was written in the second half of the 19th century, but it is still incredibly modern and actual. Read the text carefully and reflect on the comments. What can you incorporate into your essays and reports?
In this presentation, you will find the elements of a research project, as it is understood in the Master in Urbanism of the TU Delft. This is an adaptation of classical ways of organising a research project.
Issues of Governance in Spatial PlanningRoberto Rocco
This is an updated version of a lecture I have prepared on GOVERNANCE and arising issues connected to governance in Spatial Planning and Design. This particular version was presented at the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management of the University of Copenhagen, where I stayed I short while as research fellow.
Miss lovely legs exercise: Understanding Different Logics of EnquiryRoberto Rocco
This is an exercise for the course "Methodology for Urbanism" at the Urbanism Master Track at the TU Delft. This exercise is based on STAINTON-ROGERS, W. (2006), Logics of Enquiry, in Doing Postgraduate Research , Ed. Stephen Potter, London: Sage. The aim of this exercise is to clarify how different communities of practice conceive knowledge (and relevant knowledge, for that matter), discourses, questions and methodologies to answer those questions.
For some time now, I have been working on teaching materials for planning students. I am really happy about this GAME, which aims to make students aware of different roles they can play as planners in network governance.
This is an exercise for planning students. It is based on a 'typology' of planners operating in network governance and project planning proposed by Karina Sehested (2010) of the University of Copenhagen. The objective is to make students aware of different roles they can play as planners in network governance, and which core values are attached to each role. There is also a discussion about tools and ways to manage networks.
Issues of governance in regional planningRoberto Rocco
This is a lecture prepared for the Randstad Research Group of the Department of Urbanism of the TU Delft. It presents basic notions of governance and circumscribes these notions by presenting some issues or challenges concerning networked and multilevel governance.
Rio Olympic Legacy: Missed opportunitiesRoberto Rocco
This is a presentation prepared for the 44th edition of SCUPAD Salzburg Congress on Urban Planning and Development where I discuss some ideas about the legacy of the Olympic facilities in relation to the urgent needs of the city of Rio de Janeiro. This presentation was updated for the "Rotterdam Lecture Series", organised by Brian Doucet at the Erasmus University College of Rotterdam, in May 2 2016.

An Urban Geography of Globalisation PART 2Roberto Rocco
This is part 2 of the lecture "An Urban Geography of Globalization". This was originally prepared for the free-choice (ellective) course "Globalization" of the department of Urbanism of the Delft of Technology (TU Delft), The Netherlands. In this part I introduce the city of Sao Paulo in Brazil, its historical development and main drivers for development. At the end of the presentation, I present an empirical study on the location of Advanced Producer Services in the city and explain how global foces in oartnership with local forces are changing city structure.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

conceptions of what ‘urbanism’ might be.
our students come from all over the world, and
have been educated in different traditions of
planning and design of the built environment.
we must find commonalities and clarify
differences.
3. mind mapping urbanist
we do not offer a ‘definite’ definition of
urbanism. After all, the discipline is in
constant evolution, what with new
knowledge being permanently incorporated
to it, new challenges arising in a globalized
and increasingly urban world and new
arising technologies that help us find new
questions to ask.
4. mind mapping urbanist
rather, we propose a model where
‘urbanism’ is composed by different
logics of enquiry that concur to
form a wide field of knowledge on
the built environment and its
interrelationships with society.

9. urbanism
in order to discuss essential
aspects of urbanism and the
urbanist, we draw mind maps.
10. What’s a mind map?
A mind map is a graphic representation of a
brain storm. Around a central concept,
participants must draw connected ideas
organically, unfolding them as much as
possible.
It is a tool for structured yet creative
communication and discussion among
participants.
11. relationships graphically
represented
However, different from a brain storm,
mind mapping offers the possibility to
structure thought graphically and
unfold concepts and ideas as much as
possible. Because ideas are graphically
represented, they can be discussed
more thoroughly.
12. The ‘secret’ of mind
mapping
the ‘secret’ of mind mapping consists of the
relationships constructed between concepts
and ideas being unfolded and ‘spelled out’
explicitly.
Drawing these relationships like the
branches of a tree helps us visualize the
organic relationship they have with each
other.
13. Networks of
concepts
but ideas and concepts are not
like the branches of a tree. they
are arranged in networks of
relationships. mind maps could
look like more like spiderwebs.
14. relationship image
and text
drawing icons and avatars helps
construct a better relationship
between visual perception and
intellectual understanding.
images reinforce and complement
text and vice-versa.
15. an exercise of
vocabulary building
one of the functions of mind
mapping is to help students build
up vocabulary to talk about ideas
and concepts in english (the
language of education at master
level at tudelft).
16. in this particular mind
mapping exercise, we discuss:
• Skills
• Values
• Qualities
• Tools and
• Knowledge
necessary to be a good “urbanist”
