This study examines various approaches to the renewal, revitalisation, and reuse of selected sites in border regions and inland enclaves within Czechia that were predominantly inhabited by the German population before WWII. Following the war, these areas underwent profound sociocultural transformations due to the forced displacement of the local population, leaving many of them largely abandoned. Official restoration efforts have been relatively scarce, with local heritage renewal-driven by grassroots initiatives-being more common. Through three case studies, the research highlights distinct approaches to the reanimation of these abandoned cultural spaces, initiated from below by local actors, and explores the motivations and reanimation strategies of the various stakeholders involved. The primary research method consisted of interviews with individuals directly engaged in the reanimation efforts, those impacted by the loss of the original structures (where possible), and local authorities. Each of the strategies presented demonstrates a positive effect on the sites in terms of heritage renewal or new cultural creation, offering models that could be replicated elsewhere. The absence of original structures does not necessarily impede reanimation efforts, nor does it matter whether those involved in the reanimation have ancestral ties to the location.

This article gives an account of a series of researches and town plans drawn up in the early 21st century about the areas nearby the settlement of the future high-speed train station in Afragola. Ten years later, during the construction of the facilities of the station, designed by the architect Zaha Hadid, it is probably about time to wonder why the hige cost that the construction of the railway required was not redistributed to the community in terms of utilities and improvement in the landscape. And why did no one, neither the public operators not the politic makers, act "rationally", by following up on the technical solutions concerning the problems caused by politics itself? The depressing landscape absolutely recalls the wide gap between design and town planning practices.

In response to the rapid pace of urbanization and the growing challenge of environmental degradation, traditional land-use planning methods are proving inadequate for ensuring sustainable urban development. This research advocates for a paradigm shift towards regenerative land use planning, which is designed to create urban environments that not only minimize harm but actively restore and enhance natural ecosystems, support social wellbeing, and foster economic vitality. This approach is particularly relevant to the Municipality of Minglanilla, Cebu, where balancing development pressures with environmental sustainability is critical.

Em um mundo globalizado, faz-se cada vez mais necessário estudar as identidades regionais e locais no intuito de promover sua valorização e formar cidadãos atuantes em todas as escalas espaciais. Assim, é proposto discutir os referenciais teóricos de trabalhos com memória, identidade e representação cartográfica. A memória é tratada como uma dimensão que constrói identidades culturais, instância de produção de sentido, a respeito dos espaços de vivência. As relações entre ensino formal, em especial o currículo selecionado pela geografia escolar, e os saberes da experiência vivida podem contribuir para o estudo das referências e horizontes espaciais dos moradores das regiões urbanas e rurais. Essa perspectiva é proposta como discussão que visa a contribuir para o avanço das reflexões a respeito da relação entre a cartografia escolar e a produção de sentido de pertencimento a diferentes localidades

Knowledge is considered a major asset for companies competing in today’s knowledge-based economy. Management and retention of this knowledge is a critical task in keeping companies ahead of the game. This article will focus on one component of knowledge management, that is, the creation of a successful knowledge transfer process by using an integrative literature review method (Torracco, 2005). An integrative literature review is a form of research where the pertinent literature on a topic was systematically reviewed, analyzed, and synthesized in hopes of reaching a new and better understanding of the topic. Multiple databases were used in gathering literature for this article. Common themes that serve as findings of the study were through the processes of independent analysis of each researcher and joint discussion of the two researchers of the study. In the following sections, background information and definitions concerning knowledge transfer are presented followed by the identi...

2024, Designing Brussels Ecosystems

Steering the transition towards a circular economy (CE) is one of the pillars of the EU’s regional development strategy. The concept is appealing for its promises of boosting new economic cycles in times of crisis while tackling major environmental issues (such as resource depletion, pollution, etc.). Drawn from the European strategy, the concept of circular economy — together with that of sustainable urban metabolism, intended as a model of material economy with reduced negative externalities — has gained traction in Brussels among business and policy-makers, being translated into objectives in regional plans and programmes. Addressing the issue of ‘circularity’ within the framework of the Metrolab MasterClass and in collaboration with the ULB Chair on Circular Economy is thus a way to reflect on the urgent question about how to territorialise discourses and strategies on circular economy and sustainable urban metabolism in the context of Brussels’ regional development and policy.

The conservation of abandoned urban sites, increasingly widespread all over the Italian territory and mainly along the mountain slopes, represents a complex cultural challenge which includes cultural, psychological, economic, technical, as well as aesthetic and social issues. While the sudden or progressive abandonment has guaranteed, in some ways, the preservation of authentic material values, at the same time the possibility of exploiting the places again through the restoration of architecture and the improvement of conditions of accessibility is functional also for the protection of the built heritage and the intangible values that characterize it. Starting from this, the contribution focuses on a synoptic framework of interventions and strategies aimed at the redevelopment of partially or totally abandoned urban sites in Italy, concentrating attention on the goals of diverse choices for safeguarding historic heritage. The framework aims at defining an atlas of practices that, w...

This paper reviews the framework proposed by Dupuy (1991, 2008) on the analysis of network operators in relation to the strategic planning of urbanized regions. Dupuy makes a distinction between [i] technical networks,[ii] consumption and production networks and [iii] networks operated by individual urban households in relation to the spatial organization of urban environments. This paper further investigates how this framework could be used to describe and understand strategic planning tasks concerning the transformation of open ...

Conclusion 52 References 53 688920 REPAiR-Version 1.8 30/09/17 D6.1 Governance and Decision-Making Processes in Pilot Cases Glossary Circular Economy_it is referred to a broad and slightly recent concept included several fields of operation: a. Circular Economy is an economy based on renewability of all resources-energy, materials, water, topsoil (for food production) and air-while retaining or creating value, promoting positive systemic impacts on ecology, economy and society, and preventing negative impacts. b. Circular Economy accommodates resources to flow through man-made and natural systems in renewable ways, creating or retaining value through "slowed, closed or narrowed loops", rather than rapidly destructing value through the creation of waste. This value can manifest itself in monetary principles as well as other social, ecological or economic principles, taking account of potential trade offs. Important in this notion is the establishment of production-consumption-use systems built on restorative resources in optimal flows. Optimal flows imply that cycles are closed or connected at spatially and temporally favourable conditions i.e. where and when most appropriate (highest possible value). Moreover, changes in one part of the system should not incite negative externalities. Of particular interest for REPAiR in this respect are impacts on spatial quality. From that perspective REPAiR also includes the notion of waste-scapes (open spaces as well as built form) into the equation (European Union 2017; Ellen MacArthur Foundation 2013). Closed loops_through recycling, the loop between post-use and production is closed, resulting in a circular flow of resources (Bocken et al. 2016). Eco-innovative solution_are influenced by the site specificities; depend on policies/resources (managerial, economic/financial, administrative capacity, etc.); depend on stakeholders: different people, queries, communities, economies are involved in ecoinnovation process; do not have a single scale, they cross multiple scales, different dimension, grain and scale of the territories of innovation. The combination of ecoinnovative solutions produce integrated strategies: mixable instruments and solutions for new systemic relations (Own 2017). 688920 REPAiR-Version 1.8 30/09/17 D6.1 Governance and Decision-Making Processes in Pilot Cases depending on physical features (number of buildings and surface they cover, built-up volume, parcel fragmentation, etc); other ones deriving from the way in which target areas are used (inhabitants, workers, infrastructures and their uses) (Own 2017). Peri-urban living lab_LLs are physical and virtual environments, in which public-privatepeople partnerships experiment with an iterative method to develop innovations that include the involvement of end users. In LLs different areas of expertise from diverse partners are needed for a good development of the activities, with the aim to meet the needs of the stakeholders by innovation (ENoLL). Resource_a source of supply or support (Merriam-webster). Within REPAiR 'essential resources' can refer to: energy, materials, water, topsoil, food, and air. Slowed loops_Through the design of long-life goods and product-life extension (i.e. service loops to extend a product's life, for instance through repair, remanufacturing), the utilization period of products is extended and/or intensified, resulting in a slowdown of the flow of resources (Bocken et al. 2016). Sustainability_the balanced and systemic integration of intra and intergenerational economic, social, and environmental performance (Geissdoerfer et al. 2017). System_an interconnected set of elements that is coherently organized in a way that achieves something… A system must consist of three kinds of things: elements, interconnections and a function or purpose (Meadows 2008). Value_The regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something (Oxford Dictionaries). Value can amongst others be expressed in material or monetary units.

This work shows the results obtained on a study done to women entrepreneurs of SME located in the Metropolitan Zone of Guadalajara (ZMG), Mexico, with respect to the systematization of business practices oriented to Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO). The theoretical basis was the Business Women, focused at Latin America, the SME behavior in Mexico, and in this way to understand, through these, if they are aimed at business sustainability. The methodology used was a quantitative analysis through to apply a survey of own development to the business women owning of the one SME in the ZMG. The sample was of 48 questionnaires, which included the profile of the businesswoman, and where 33 sustainable development practices. The results obtained through descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The findings were found that the sustainable development practices developed are not adequate, and that the EO practices that they should have, are below what is desired, showing there are some disadvantages in these practices so that the sustainability of these companies are at risk.

The project SISMI-Tecnologie per il miglioramento della Sicurezza e la ricostruzione dei centri Storici in area sisMIca (technologies for the improvement of safety and the reconstruction of historic centres in the seismic area)-aims to provide tools and methods for risk reduction and seismic improvement of Lazio's cultural assets and centres, causing research, intervention policies, and planning to interact in order to support reconstruction choices and foster dialogue with local parties and enterprises. One of the SISMI project's main elements of innovation consists of preparing modes of integration of knowledge and assessments relating to the various components of a territory's vulnerability and seismic hazard that can be used in other seismic territories. SISMI project, tested in seismic territories of Central Italy, is a methodology of integrated, multidimensional, and transdisciplinary investigation, in the conviction that the safety of the territory and of historic and cultural assets is the result of a dynamic risk reduction process capable of guaranteeing and promoting the local communities' resilience, in which both physical/structural and sociocultural elements collaborate.

The paper focuses on the impact generated by the un-efficient management of waste flows, on both natural environment, and urbanization process, and on the opportunity to invert it by regenerating Wasted Landscapes, i.e. underused, polluted and abandoned sites, especially located in peri-urban areas. This is one of the aims of the REPAiR project, funded in 2016 by the European Commission within the Horizon 2020 framework, developed by University of Naples with TU Delft as Lead Partner. The implementation of multi-scaling/multi-disciplinary approach, for testing out collaborative decision-making, has seen so far the research of a scientific based definition of peri-urban area in the context of the Metropolitan Area of Naples. The selection of the peri-urban areas has also been tested through Living Labs, aimed at designing eco-innovative solutions towards circularity.

The preservation and maintenance of the cultural identity of a territory passes through the recognition of the architectural landscape and anthropological peculiarities of the area, so called "recognition of the genius loci". The risk is of the gradual loss of memory of these fundamental elements, which are being mainly replaced by standard elements, belonging to a substance of "virtual" poor, both in singularity and specificity. The study and identification of "monuments, settled in historical centres which are abandoned, or, in the process of abandonment, architectural ruins almost completely devoid of "meaning". Their preservation with new functions can be the way to reach the Goal, only if the knowledge procedure of restoration, restoration work analysis, and reuse project-in other words-the restoration and the architecture project satisfy the real needs of the users of these so-called new monuments. The real risk is that of creating ancient paradigms, recognised in semantic languages, that are gradually being lost, numerous "new" urban architectural units which are not integrated with the landscape, which are not "really useful" and which do not provide a connection to an overall masterplan. Rediscovering ancient mills located on the internal mountain areas, industrial factories existing along the Calabrian coastlines, ancient powerfully-built places such as fortresses: the restoration of these buildings can have a lasting outcome over time when completed together with a more general plan including the realisation of eco-sustainable routes and connection routes within the surrounding territory.

In this paper, results are reported of a technology assessment of the use and integration of decentralized energy systems and storage devices in an urban renewal area. First the general context of a different approach based on 'rethinking' and the incorporation of ongoing integration of coming economical and environmental interests on infrastructure, in relation to the sustainable urban development and regeneration from the perspective of the tripod people, technology and design is elaborated. However, this is at different scales, starting mainly from the perspective of the urban dynamics. This approach includes a renewed look at the 'urban metabolism' and the role of environmental technology, urban ecology and environment behavior focus. Second, the potential benefits of strategic and balanced introduction and use of decentralized devices and electric vehicles (EVs), and attached generation based on renewables are investigated in more detail in the case study of the 'Merwe-Vierhaven' area (MW4) in the Rotterdam city port in the Netherlands. In order to optimize the energy balance of this urban renewal area, it is found to be impossible to do this by tuning the energy consumption. It is more effective to change the energy mix and related infrastructures. However, the problem in existing urban areas is that often these areas are restricted to a few energy sources due to lack of available space for integration. Besides this, energy consumption in most cases is relatively concentrated in (existing) urban areas. This limits the potential of sustainable urban regeneration based on decentralized systems, because there is no balanced choice regarding the energy mix based on renewables and system optimization.

Urban areas account for around 50% of global solid waste generation. In the last decade, the European Union has supported numerous initiatives aiming at reducing waste generation by promoting shifts towards Circular Economy (CE) approaches. Governing this process has become imperative. This article focuses on the results of a governance analysis of six urban regions in Europe involved in the Horizon 2020 project REPAiR. By means of semi-structured interviews, document analysis and workshops with local stakeholders, for each urban area a list of governance challenges which hinder the necessary shift to circularity was drafted. In order to compare the six cases, the various challenges have been categorized using the PESTEL-O method. Results highlight a significant variation in policy contexts and the need for these to evolve by adapting stakeholders’ and policy-makers’ engagement and diffusing knowledge on CE. Common challenges among the six regions include a lack of an integrated gui...

A paisagem de Rio Grande passou por três grandes períodos, militar, comercial e industrial. Este trabalho compreende a transição da segunda para a terceira etapa. A partir de conceitos de arqueologia da paisagem e da aplicação da fotografia aos estudos históricos, tentamos perceber tal transição nas paisagens da cidade. A pesquisa conta com apoio de documentos históricos da cidade, além de jornais da época. As fotografias limitam-se em 12, e concentram-se no centro histórico. Acreditamos que, cruzando essas informações, percebemos as transições nas paisagens, durante a consolidação da industrialização, no período de 1870-1910.

Neste trabalho propomos articular subjetividades e espaços através de imagens, estas compreendidas no sentido que delas podemos apreender a partir dos escritos do filósofo alemão Walter Benjamin. Em Imagens do Pensamento, Benjamin nos convida a ler-ver imagens, não enquanto matéria a ser decifrada, tampouco como mera representação do mundo, mas como força que pode produzir estranhamento a partir de sentidos que não se completam, que não se encerram em si mesmos, não totalizam. Sentidos incompletos que saltam a partir de seus encontros, de suas montagens. Teceremos, assim, articulações entre subjetividades e espaços através de algumas imagens da Paris de Haussmann, das provocadoras cidades invisíveis de Ítalo Calvino e da porosidade de Nápoles, narrada por Walter Benjamin. As questões que permeiam este trabalho são: o que as cidades-imagem afirmam e como elas interpelam o campo de estudos da subjetividade.

Entre os diferentes meios de comunicação a fotografia destaca-se como um importante documento visual, que se estabelece na tensão entre a ocultação e a revelação, primordial para o entendimento dos aspectos imaginários do social e suas mediações. O grande elo entre a fotografia e o turismo está justamente em não ser o retrato da sociedade, mas sim, sua representação e memória fragmentada, passível de interpretações contínuas. As fotografias são circunscritas por questões sociais e culturais definidas, já que existem a partir de um processo de criação e montagem que consiste em escolhas e decisões sobre o que merece ser fotografado.

Waste management is an important function of a city government and a key utility service on which the inhabitants depend. The main purpose of waste management technologies and policies are to protect human and environmental health by reducing the negative impacts of waste and finding beneficial reuses for it. In light of the ongoing initiatives of the European Commission towards establishing a strong circular economy, a project named REPAiR (REsource Management in Peri-urban Areas: Going Beyond Urban Metabolism) was able to start in 2016. The core objective of REPAiR is to provide local and regional authorities with an innovative transdisciplinary open source geodesign decision support environment (GDSE) which will be implemented in living labs in six metropolitan areas

Image Contemporary City Look Experience Globalization The world has never been so eager for images as it is today! However, in the contemporary city, the seduction by the image has been increasingly anesthetized by the very atrophy of our perceptive capacity, after all, under the advent of speed and spectacularization we are steered to experiences where the routine, the glance, the passer-by look and the low definition of non-verbal languages form a set of behaviors that have shrunk our ability to look at the city. A type of glaucoma that facilitates the reading of some visual qualities of the landscape, but prevents it from being apprehended in its totality.

Adaptation to climate change is a challenge that all countries and cities are facing. Open space is an important action area in local adaptation policies, due to vulnerability and potential response to various climate-related problems. Various practical, fragmented open space design approaches were recently introduced in different areas of climate sensitive action, but theoretical basis for adapting cities to climate change is still missing. Starting with premise that fragmented understanding of problems generates fragmented solutions we argue that an integral approach is necessary for open space design to be a useful instrument for adapting cities to climate change. We evaluate the Integral urbanism theory in relation to the complex role that open space is supposed to have in adapting cities to climate change. Qualities of hybridity, connectivity, porosity, authenticity and vulnerability of urban open space are analyzed in three cases in relation to the three strategic areas of cli...

During past decades, Territories in-Between (TiB) have gained increased attention among researchers in the field of urban planning and design. TiB are often considered to be underused, lack spatial quality and are under mounting pressure of urban densification. However, the rich diversity of land uses and abundance of semiopen spaces in the TiB provide unique habitats and social-ecological potentials, different from exclusively urban or rural landscapes. Therefore, urban planners and designers should reconsider conventional planning and design approaches towards these kinds of territories. The objective of this paper is to present a holistic planning and design approach towards TiB which acknowledges and strengthens its unique social-ecological potentials on local and regional scales. The new spatial planning concept that was developed through a 'research-by-design' process is called: The Recovering Membrane. This concept was developed for the city of Rotterdam. The Recovering Membrane is defined as a spatial layer of interaction between two distinctive living environments-urban and rural-and various human and non-human actors in them. The research puts forward that design for the TiB should consider the urban fringe as a distinctive kind of TiB with unique social-ecological potentials. Moreover, spatial design should strengthen existing spatial qualities of the TiB, to protect its pressured, yet highly valuable, characteristics. Additionally, local nature-based interventions can provide an important tool for placemaking in the TiB, especially when integrated with long-term and large-scale area transformations.

The article tackles the issue of the identification of relics and type of transformations in the rural cultural landscape of Warmia and Masuria, which took place as a result of the depopulation of localities due to the course and consequences of World War II. The incorporation of the southern part of East Prussia into Poland in 1945 initiated a number of social, economic, and cultural changes. Above all, the region was affected by huge migratory movements. These started with the hurried escape of the local civilian population fleeing from the Red Army that conquered the area in the winter of 1944-1945. Subsequently, the displacement of the German people and the unstable political situation that made it difficult to maintain habitation contributed to the depopulation of hundreds of villages, manor houses, foresters’ lodges, and small settlements. Today, in Poland’s incorporated
part of former East Prussia, there are about 788 abandoned localities. The extent
to which the rural landscape has changed as a result of the total depopulation of hundreds
of settlement units has not yet been determined. The purpose of the research was to diagnose
the processes that occurred in the material structure of the landscape of Warmia and
Masuria after the continuity of habitation had been interrupted, based on data collected
due to on-site prospections, searches, and spatial analyses. The elaboration presents possibilities
for identifying transformations that occur after depopulation on the basis of the
results of multifaceted spatial analyses carried out with the use of GIS tools. Particularly
noteworthy is the use of detailed elevation data obtained from airborne laser scanning,
which data largely condition not only identification of surface relics but also the degree of
degradation of rural structures. The issues concerning the diagnosis of transformations are
discussed using, as an example, the study of one of the depopulated localities – Bartki –
a former settlement that lies in Olecko County (Warmia-Masuria Province).

This collection of essays reflects on the theme of “transition” in all of its nuances (from ecological to sustainable, describing the potential of fragile terri- tories). This is a current issue on the political agenda and in the international scientific community, which interprets transition as a condition that calls for re- designing / rethinking spaces and flows (human and non-human) for a new relational ecology between bodies and inhabited contexts.
Researchers, local administrators, architects, land- scape architects, photographers are asked to think about landscapes in transition and their repercus- sions on urban planning and on the local and global territory.
The contributions develop innovative reflections, especially in reference to the spaces of the urban fringe, abandoned and polluted areas, landscapes at natural and environmental risk. The transition in these spaces consists in the possibility of enhanc- ing their ecological and environmental potential, favoring a transformation that affects society, set- tlements, and economies, with improvement in the living environments and the recycling of entire por- tions of the landscape.
Hence, this book compares proposals and issues: the former, coming from the international perspectives of international projects; the latter, linked to local landscapes that must be preserved in the richness of their values in relation to history and biodiversity; landscapes that must be safeguarded if we are to im- prove the quality of life, designed as the producers of habitable space and beauty.
