Curating neighbourhoods in transition: the role of design review in urban regeneration projects in Australia

A study on the laws, systems and development cases of urban regeneration in Japan, which are prior to urban regeneration and urban development, foresaw the development measures of urban residential regeneration projects in Korea. To this end, Japan’s Special Act on Urban Regeneration was compared with Korea’s Urban Regeneration Act, which was enacted in 2013. In particular, the Private Urban Regeneration Project, which is being embodied in Japan’s Special Act on Urban Regeneration, proposed the need to revise the Urban Regeneration Act as it did not specify support and deregulation in Korea In order to find out the need for a private-centered urban development project, Japan’s representative Odaiba, Rock Peak Hills, and Evisgarden Place development projects were analyzed. As a measure to revitalize urban housing regeneration projects in Korea, firstly, it was suggested that private participation for private capital and technology inducement is needed, secondly, urban-based and central-town urban regeneration projects linked to regional economy and job creation should be promoted, and third, that competitiveness should be secured through complex urban housing regeneration projects.The purpose of this study is to analyze the development of the Urban Regeneration Act and the Urban Regeneration Act in Japan.

Urban regeneration policy and projects could facilitate the implementation of spatial policy responses to mitigate climate change and adapt to its consequences in cities. However, the potential role of urban regeneration in creating climate-friendly urban environments is not sufficiently evaluated and understood. Considering this gap, the paper aims to explore the potential linkage between urban regeneration and climate change. The case study analysis focuses on two urban regeneration projects, representing two major approaches of regeneration practices in Japanese cities, namely “project-based” and “plan-based” approaches. Research findings demonstrate that urban regeneration could help in reorganising existing urban areas in a climate-friendly manner. As a cross-cutting field of urban policy, urban regeneration could also help in creating synergies between mitigation and adaptation goals. Yet, achievement of such outcomes via regeneration projects necessitates the existence of an overriding urban development vision, political commitment, and willingness to implement binding and structural measures.

This study reviewed the system and policy direction of the urban regeneration project currently being promoted, and analyzed the residents' perception of the urban regeneration project in small local cities.
 Although the recent urban regeneration policy is in the direction of avoiding non-physical software projects such as resident capacity building, the purpose of urban regeneration projects is to revitalize the region through integrated promotion of non-physical projects along with physical projects such as maintenance projects. If the software business is completely excluded and the regeneration business is promoted, it is thought that there will be many difficulties in actual regional revitalization through the business.
 In addition, in the case of local eup/myeon units, the conditions for promoting urban regeneration projects in many aspects, such as the number of local populations and aging, are very different from those in the metropolitan area and urban areas. It is considered that it should be applied somewhat differently.
 Therefore, this study tried to find out the parts that need to be supplemented when promoting local regeneration projects by reviewing the current urban regeneration project promotion method from an institutional perspective such as legal guidelines. In addition, through an empirical analysis of residents' perceptions of the Hapcheon-eup urban regeneration project district, we analyzed the matters that should be applied differently from the urban regeneration project in the metropolitan area when promoting the urban regeneration project in the local area, and thus for the future urban regeneration policy of small local cities. It is intended to be presented as a reference.

Urban design throughout the world, is considered as a field of compromise between urban planning and architecture and as a tool that directs the urban development process. This article emphasizes the impact of the lack of definition of the implementation tools on the underdevelopment of urban design in Turkey. In recent years, especially in Istanbul, large-scale urban regeneration and renewal projects are not dealt within a holistic planning approach. They have issues in integrating with each other and the rest of the city. In this article, the Zeytinburnu Urban Regeneration Project, one of the urban projects developed in Greater Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality’s Istanbul Metropolitan Planning and Urban Design Centre (IMP), is evaluated in terms of the place of urban design projects within the Turkish planning system in order to question this approach in the planning system. Zeytinburnu reflects the average state of Istanbul’s built-up environment in terms of its physical conditions, the state of its building stock and legal status, together with earthquake damage risk. Therefore, it has been selected as the case study area. In contrast, the Hamburg-HafenCity Urban Regeneration Project has been selected in order to establish the urban planning-design-project relationship, and to analyze the place and significance of this relationship within the planning hierarchy. This project will expand the city centre by 40% and create a new centre which reflects a strong port character. Although their main aims differ, the two case study projects have provided insight for comparative evaluation in the planning system in terms of reorganization of a problematic urban area. Key words: Urban design, urban project, planning system, planning implementation, planning process.

Purpose - As a national movement, urban regeneration is the future of Turkish residential real estate market. In this paper, the models that let housing sector to make sustainable investments to urban regeneration are examined. In this regard, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the structural models of urban regeneration projects take place in emerging markets from the perspective of Turkish examples. It estimates various business and financial models according to varying dynamics of TurkeyA•s recent urban regeneration projects. The paper demonstrates decision making approaches to utilize models that will fit better under changing circumstances.Design/methodology/approach - The paper reviews the differences of urban regeneration projects in developed and emerging markets. It explores the driving forces behind urban regeneration, legal infrastructure, and practices in Turkey specifically. It draws upon recent urban regeneration examples in Turkey. The paper analyses the existing models and proposes methods to choose the proper models that match with the varying dynamics.Findings - Urban regeneration needs are different for developed and emerging markets and even for each emerging markets. There is no one-fits-all model in urban regeneration projects. Various dynamics play roles in adoption of proper business and financing model in regeneration projects. Decision making process for the model that fits the project usually lacks systematic analysis. However, urban regeneration needs in emerging markets display similar characteristic as they stem from the same dynamics. Hence urban regeneration practices and models can be adapted to the projects of other emerging markets. In planning stage of urban regeneration projects while methods, resources and financing tools are being planned and allocated, a checklist and/or a flowchart consist of some critical questions addressing the proper business models can be used as decision making tools/approaches.Research limitations/implications - This paper is essentially exploratory and raises a number of questions for further investigation. There is scope to extend the research to examine other business development models and propose advanced decision making approaches addressing complicated factors.Originality/value - This is the first paper to examine business models in urban regeneration projects and accordingly propose decision making approaches for adopting the suitable model to follow.

Currently, the topic of discussion in most developed countries is the urban regeneration project to prevent local extinction and urban decline. Unlike the resumption of the resumption and reconstruction of the urban regeneration in the improvement of the physical environment, the urban regeneration is aimed at the purpose of activating the central market, activating the central market, activation of the center of the right, It is a large-scale business that is done. Existing urban regeneration projects were planned by the government and implemented by local governments. However, the New Deal policy for urban regeneration implemented under the Moon Jae-in administration is a local government that is not the central government but is promoted by local governments together with local residents. It aims to revitalize and revitalize the city center. This study compares the cases of the United States and Japan, where urban regeneration projects were implemented before Korea, with those of Korea. Urban regeneration projects and policies of each country, enhancement of regional economic vitality through revitalization of commercial districts, support from local governments, participation methods of each project entity, and performance and continuity after the completion of the urban regeneration project were analyzed. However, since this study only compared public data published by each country with previous studies in related fields, it is insufficient to listen to opinions from stakeholders or analyze follow-up management. It is expected that better results will be obtained if interviews with related parties and on-site investigations are conducted in parallel.

Abstract. In Turkey, rapid population growth, informal settlements, and buildings and infrastructures vulnerable to natural hazards are seen as the most important problems of cities. Particularly disaster risk cannot be disregarded, as large parts of various cities are facing risks from earthquakes, floods and landslides and have experienced loss of lives in the recent past. Urban regeneration is an important planning tool implemented by local and central governments in order to reduce to disaster risk and to design livable environments for the citizens. The Law on the Regeneration of Areas under Disaster Risk, commonly known as the Urban Regeneration Law, was enacted in 2012 (Law No.6306, May 2012). The regulation on Implementation of Law No. 6306 explains the fundamental steps of the urban regeneration process. The relevant institutions furnished with various authorities such as expropriation, confiscation and changing the type and place of your property which makes urban regeneration projects very important in terms of property rights. Therefore, urban regeneration projects have to be transparent, comprehensible and acceptable for all actors in the projects. In order to understand the urban regeneration process, the legislation and projects of different municipalities in Istanbul have been analyzed. While some steps of it are spatial data demanding, others relate to land values. In this paper an overview of the urban regeneration history and activities in Turkey is given. Fundamental steps of the urban regeneration process are defined, and particularly spatial-data demanding steps are identified.

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges in the twenty-first century. Immediate actions are required to slow down climate change and address its impacts on human life and settlements. Cities can play crucial roles in this respect, as they not just contribute to causes of climate change but also are under severe threat from its impacts. Urban regeneration projects can provide opportunities to make cities more climate-friendly and less vulnerable. However, the potential role of urban regeneration in tackling climate change is not sufficiently recognized. In many cities, integration between urban regeneration projects and climate policy is still weak. Besides, limited methods exist to evaluate the performance of urban regeneration projects for climate change mitigation and adaptation. Considering these challenges, this chapter is intended to elaborate on use of indicators to assess the progress achieved in urban regeneration projects toward climate-friendly urban development. The chapter presents the findings of a research on the case of Minato Mirai 21 Project in Yokohama, which is a prominent waterfront redevelopment over brownfield sites. The project has converted former shipyards and railroad yards into mixed-use and high-density urban quarter with a working and resident population of 70,000 people at present. A set of 34 indicators grouped under six performance categories is developed and applied to MM21 project. Research findings not only indicate the extent of achievements in MM21 project toward climate-friendly urban development but also highlight the strengths and weaknesses in using indicators for assessing urban regeneration performance.

The purpose of this study is to suggest implications for sustainable urban regeneration projects. The Korean Government enacted the law -The Special Act on the Promotion and Support of Urban Regeneration- for supporting urban regeneration projects which has been in the works since 2013. The Korean urban regeneration system is much newer than any other countrys system. It is important to study foreign systems of urban regeneration to run the new policy effectively. This study suggests policy implications of urban regeneration in South Korea from urban regeneration systems in Japan. Japan has had active urban regeneration projects and laws related to urban regeneration ten years longer than South Korea. As a result, they could implement policies under the integration management framework. We study the laws, plans and projects related in urban regeneration and analyze changing in structure and characteristic of urban regeneration projects in Japan. This study shows what make regeneration projects in Japan sustainable and have implications for Korean regeneration projects.

As suburban expansion declines, cities have become essential economic, cultural and social hubs of global connectivity. This book is about urban revitalization across North America, in cities including San Francisco, Toronto, Boston, Vancouver, New York and Seattle. Infrastructure projects including the High Line and Big Dig are explored alongside urban neighborhood creation and regeneration projects such as Hunters Point in San Francisco and Regent Park in Toronto. Today, these urban regeneration projects have evolved in the context of unprecedented neoliberal public policy and soaring real estate prices. Consequently, they make a complex contribution to urban inequality and poverty trends in many of these cities, including the suburbanization of immigrant settlement and rising inequality. (Re)Generating Inclusive Cities wrestles with challenging but important questions of urban planning, including who benefits and who loses with these urban regeneration schemes, and what policy tools can be used to mitigate harm? We propose a new way forward for understanding and promoting better urban design practices in order to build more socially just and inclusive cities and to ultimately improve the quality of urban life for all.

This paper uses South Korean cases to develop an indicator-oriented approach for evaluating the outcome of urban regeneration projects, focusing on the difference between economy-based and community-based urban regeneration projects. By identifying differences in the assessment indicators and weights of two types of urban regeneration projects, we can more successfully recognize a sustainable way to implement economy-based urban regeneration projects. The results of hierarchical assessment models show the differences in critical indicators related to economy-based and community-based urban regeneration projects. Economy-based urban regeneration projects should not only aim to revitalize local economies but also be evaluated using employment- and economic-related indicators, which should receive more weight than indicators concerning community-based regeneration. In this sense, our results suggest that different evaluation and monitoring systems must be developed to separately assess these two types of urban regeneration projects, as approximately 500 urban regeneration new deal projects are being carried out in Korea.

This paper examines the urban regeneration policies and implications of many years of urban regeneration in Yeongdo-gu, Busan, a post-industrial city, with a focus on resident participatory governance. Bongsan Village, the target area of this study, is an area that has undergone many years of urban policies such as the Village Creation Project and the Urban Regeneration New Deal Project after the New Town Project was canceled. Residents of Bongsan Village voluntarily organized local governance to solve local problems. However, after participating in urban regeneration policies for five years, the activities of Bongsan Village governance shifted to profit-making businesses, and in the process, the residents’ organization established a governance system with external businessmen. The purpose of this study is to identify the key factors that led to the qualitative change in resident participatory governance, focusing on the case of Bongsan Village. The contradiction in the urban regeneration New Deal project area is caused by the conflict between the instrumental function of governance (urban regeneration promotion system) and the intrinsic function (enabling resident participation). The background is that the central government expanded the goal of urban regeneration policy to local job creation, and the local administration centered on some residents for efficiency. In this process, the majority of residents who lack experience in policy participation were excluded from the decision-making stage, and inequalities among residents were deepened. This paper describes the qualitative changes in the governance system of residents in the urban regeneration area of Bongsan Village in Yeongdo-gu, BMC over the 13 years since 2013, when a residents’ organization was voluntarily formed to participate in the urban regeneration project. In particular, this paper identifies key factors that influenced local residents’ participation in the process of institutionalizing governance and explains how governance changed through a diagrammatic representation. By examining the scope of residents and the original meaning of urban regeneration, we reconsider the future direction of urban policy and propose a form and scope for collaborative governance that can expand participation across residents.

Neighborhood commercial areas in cities densely populated with small stores serve as crucial social, economic, and cultural hubs. However, the emergence of large discount stores and online shopping and urban decline have challenged these commercial areas. In response, South Korea introduced urban regeneration policies in 2014, known as urban regeneration leading areas (URLAs), with related projects carried out between 2017 and 2019. This study explored how urban regeneration projects impacted neighborhood commercial areas. It specifically examined the relationship between store survival rates – a key indicator of revitalization – and influencing factors (e.g. characteristics of urban regeneration projects, store characteristics, and regional features). The results, derived from a survival analysis model, indicated that revitalized areas, such as artificially specialized streets, negatively impacted store survival rates. Moreover, stores established at the commencement or midpoint of regeneration projects demonstrated lower survival rates, indicating temporary gentrification. Contrarily, stores linked to convenience facilities integral to residents’ lives and those existing before regeneration projects exhibited higher survival rates. These results suggest the need for a shift in urban regeneration projects and policies, such as increasing support for established local stores rather than creating new commercial zones and setting reasonable rents to sustain newly established stores.
