Rethinking spaces for participation in urban planning and development : A case study of the Bus Way process in Nord-Jæren
2019
Master's thesis Global development and planning UT506 - University of Agder 2019 Denne oppgaven tar sikte på å utforske, belyse og utfordre eksisterende og fremvoksende deltakelsesrom i byplanleggingen og -utviklingen. Den er basert på en case-studie av prosjektet Bussveien i Rogaland, hvor satsingen på utbygging av bussvei har resultert i en konfliktfylt prosess som følger av en tilsynelatende upopulær finansieringsmodell, inngrep i eiendom og re-duksjon i kjørebaner for personbiler. Oppgaven problematiserer repolitiseringen i demokratisk utvikling og stiller spørsmål omkring tilstrekkeligheten av anvendte deltakelsesrom i byut-viklingsprosjekter. Basert på litteratur av Andrea Cornwall og…
Innbyggermedvirkning for sosial bærekraftig stedsutvikling? : En casestudie av medvirkning i stedsutviklingen til Lindesnes kommune
2021
Master's thesis in Global Development and Planning (UT506) In this thesis, I have chosen to look at whether citizen participation is important for a socially sustainable place development. I have chosen to do a case study of Lindesnes municipality. This is a new, complex municipality from 2020, at the southern tip of Norway. This master's thesis is based on social sustainability, place theory and participation, where participation is central. The theoretical parts are in a mutual relationship with each other in the thesis and are all central to the understanding of the complexity of the problem. Qualitative research methods have been used, based on a case study by Lindesnes municipality. In…
Blågrønne strukturer - Et virkemiddel for bærekraftig by- og boligutvikling
2021
Master's thesis in Global Development and Planning (UT506) Purpose: The expected increase in precipitation puts greater pressure on how cities should handle surface water. Furthermore, increased population growth, urbanization and densification entail challenges in creating and maintaining local communities that are perceived as safe and good. In light of this, there is a need to develop new measures and strategies that contribute to creating sustainable urban and residential development. In this thesis, we investigate the significance of blue-green structures for solving these challenges. The problem of the thesis is to investigate what opportunities and challenges actors face in the use o…
Kristiansand Torv - En konstruert sosio-materialitet
2020
Master's thesis in Global Development and Planning (UT506) Every city has one or several open areas for which typically serves a spesific function. In themselves, they represent something different or unlike the common widespread streets that a city consists of. These open areas often times are designed and serves as ‘squares’. This thesis looks at a square in the city of Kristiansand, Norway. The square is called ‘Torvet’ or ‘Kristiansand Torv’. There are several ways to put into frame the ongoing life and activity within a square. Also, there are several ways for which the square makes an impact, or has a function on how the general rythm of city life playes out. This thesis adresses Kris…
Megaprosjekt – fra konflikt til kontroll : Lynetteholmen i København legger grunnlaget for oppgaven som følger. Er det mulig å gjennomføre et megapro…
2020
Master's thesis in Global Development and Planning (UT506) In the following assignment I have chosen to look at how to avoid damaging conflicts during the development of the Lynetteholmen megaproject in Copenhagen. The project is in the initial phase and there is currently a principle agreement in which there is broad political agreement to continue working on. An environmental impact report is expected by the end of 2020, which will lay the foundation for the next agreement in principle. This agreement must, in turn, be given political approval, a legislative change must be made before the building process can be sat in motion. As the project is in its early stages, one can, as I conclude …
Externalités d'informations et évolution des villes
1999
Present-day city growth is chiefly the result of new tertiary activities such as financial and producer services, R&D, or business administration. These activities consume human capital, knowledge and high-tech capital, which are all rapidly changing inputs; they are based on complex decision-making processes; this renders them highly information-dependent. Inasmuch as these activities are the main key to understanding the city, information must play a leading role in understanding urban forms. The concentration of these activities in cities appears paradoxical in the era of information. They are agglomerated because of their need of proximity for exchanging information. But information can…
Dal rettifilo alla croce: l'apertura di strada Maqueda a Palermo
2015
Sino a questo momento la realizzazione della strada Maqueda è stato oggetto quasi esclusivamente di interpretazioni critiche che ne hanno correttamente sottolineato la valenza simbolica, soprattutto con riferimento alla ostentazione di quella croce espressione di un cattolicesimo fattosi sempre più ortodosso e oltranzista; poco si è detto, invece, sugli aspetti legati ai processi di costruzione materiale di questo spazio urbano, alle operazioni correlate all’apertura per sventramento, nel tessuto denso e compatto di una delle principali città mediterranee, di una arteria stradale lunga quasi 1 chilometro e mezzo e larga oltre 11 metri, un rettifilo che all’anno 1600 costituiva nel panorama …
Visual Representation of Urban Environment: Microraioni of Riga in Soviet Cinematography
2017
Abstract The aim of this article is to interpret the discourse of residential areas of Riga through the films of the Soviet period and to examine essential changes in residential structure. Specific image of cinematic formal techniques is used in relation to the urban. The results of movie review are compared with changes in the residential development between 1945–1990. 124 movies display that residential areas are frequently portrayed in the Soviet cinema and they form an integral part of the Soviet urban perception.
El Rol de planificadores urbanos en los colegios
2017
In the urban planning discipline, active and ethical participation must include not only the adult segment of the population, but also younger people. However, many issues still have to be addressed in order to turn this theoretical approach into practice. This paper revolves around the overall role of the urban planning scholar. In particular, it reflects on the issue of how schoolchildren and young people develop a sense of belonging to their neighborhood, based on an action research held in a complex Southern Italian metropolis, Palermo, in the 2013-2015 period. A cooperative multidisciplinary work has allowed to thoroughly address this issue and to build the theoretical foundations of t…
Barcelona’s Urban Markets; I mercati urbani di Barcellona
2016
I mercati non sono solo potenti dinamizzatori dell’economia urbana come luoghi del commercio di prossimità, dell’occupazione e dell’imprenditorialità, ma svolgono un importante ruolo di aggregazione sociale e di promozione culturale che concorre ai processi di rigenerazione urbana. Ben consapevole di tali funzioni, l’Ajuntament de Barcelona ha istituito nel 1991 un organismo autonomo per la gestione diretta e l’amministrazione dei mercati di Barcellona, l’IMMB (Institut Municipal de Mercats de Barcelona), che provvede anche alla modernizzazione dei mercati attraverso il miglioramento delle infrastrutture e dei servizi alla persona, l’adeguamento dell’offerta merceologica in base alle nuove …
