Users’ Preferences for Designing Spaces under Urban Bridges as Vital Urban Spaces
2018
Today’s fast-paced urbanization process has caused many problems in urban development. Therefore, urban space is slowly losing its nature and disappearing due to the speed of rapid urban development. Trying to keep up with the modern era’s prevalent epoch of roads and bridges, urban policies in Iran have focused on developing road networks in recent years. Thus numerous elevated structures, urban highways and bridges are used to connect the urban fabric of the country’s cities, enabling the smooth transition of traffic in its cities. Although many view urban highways merely as tools for mobility; it is true that they influence on urban structure and the communities that they interconnect. H…
Gentrifizierung in periurbanen Räumen Frankreichs: Am Beispiel des Umlandes von Nancy
2019
International audience; Gentrifizierungsprozesse in periurbanen Räumen Frankreichs fanden in der Forschung bisher kaum Beachtung; sie wurden als naheliegende Prozesse in Kernstädten verstanden und untersucht. Zudem wurde eher die Krise der Vorstädte, der banlieues beachtet, womit Stigmatisierung und Ausgrenzung analyseleitend wurden. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird nun hingegen am Beispiel des Umlandes der Metropole Nancy (Region Grand Est) Gentrifizierung als Entwicklung herausgestellt, die sich ebenfalls als konstitutiv für periurbane Räume und damit kleinere Umlandgemeinden von Städten bzw. insbesondere Metropolen andeutet. Vor dem Hintergrund einer Beleuchtung bisheriger Forschungszugänge …

Gestión del cuerpo y planificación urbana: Desplazamiento de significado en la reivención de cuepos y ciudades
2020
Contemporary cities have administrations increasingly marked by urban planning guidelines that are guided by business and marketing and, to attract investments and tourists, implement strategies that aim to homogenize, spectacularize and control urban space. However, other experiences in the city potentially build new meaning to it, which would escape those strategically planned, creating alternative possibilities of uses, diverging from the way thar are predicted and proposed by the governmental power in their urban marketing strategies. The article discusses how the occupation of urban spaces by transvestites for prostitution may imply reflections on the role of norms of gender in the (re…
heritage and culture as instruments of qualification of urban spaces : the case of the Musée Urbain Tony Garnier
2014
International audience; In this essay we will bring up the question of designing atypical objects, in this case, social housing, as cultural heritage. The continuing process of development of western cities raises new questions concerning division of living-areas produces districts of mixed populations, together with phenomena of social differentiation. Heritage and culture are henceforward tools for distinguishing social spaces and the groups of the associations movement unceasingly produces new heritage-artefacts, sometimes in contradiction with the administrative services of universe of heritage, and the concept of public good is in a certain way made use of in growing phenomena of urban…
L'accès des ménages aux services dans l'espace périurbain francilien
2008
The access of populations to services, out of the dense urban centres, is marked by the retreat of the services of proximity to which populations and local councillors appear particularly attached. However, in peri-urban spaces, this remote setting of the resources compared to the populations is the result of the generalized adoption of the automobile standard for mobility and accessibility. That has two effects: first a disintegration of the local offer, then a disintegration of the modal alternatives to the private car, because of relocalizations of services and populations which privilege car for their accessibility and call into question their access by other modes like public transport…
El nost Milan: il rap dei ‘nuovi italiani', tra riappropriazioni urbane e rivendicazioni identitarie
2019
italianoFin dai suoi esordi, la cultura hip-hop e stata attraversata da una forte connotazione in senso spaziale, che ne ha variamente contraddistinto i diversi elementi. La citta post-industriale, specie lungo i suoi margini e nei suoi interstizi, rappresenta infatti un sito cruciale a partire dal quale la storia ma, soprattutto, la geografia del rap sono andate col tempo costruendosi. Obiettivo di questo articolo e di riflettere criticamente sulla relazione fra rap e spazi urbani in Italia alla luce delle complesse costruzioni culturali, sociali e politiche che la sottendono, con particolare riferimento a due rapper milanesi della cosiddetta generazione dei nuovi italiani, Zanko e Ghali. …
“Ephemeral” regeneration for the marginal urban spaces/places in Enna
2020
The aim of this paper it to demonstrate that the interventions of “ephemeral designing” - seen in the key of potential activators of shared forms of bottom-up urban regeneration - may be also read as sequence of pop-up actions (flames); but capable in conferring to the marginal urban spaces - even if temporarily - a “meta-real” shape of the desirable effects of that urban transformation they would to reach in a real implementation. By establishing, thereby, with both the city's communities and places, a true moment of local awareness and animation, fleeting but realistic, that can trigger interest and re-generate the sleeping collective activism, even before to regenerate the physical compo…
