Study on the smart transformation strategy of old neighbourhoods based on urban renewal

With the rapid development of the economic level, urban renewal has become a major project in urban construction nowadays. Among urban renewal projects, the renovation of old neighbourhoods is an important part. Most traditional renovations consider only the cost impact, ignoring the influence of the residents’ wishes and environmental factors. Therefore, an intelligent preference model for retrofitting solutions becomes crucial. This study establishes a multi-objective optimisation model for the renovation of old neighbourhoods under the concept of urban regeneration, keeping in mind the theme of smart cities. The study innovatively provides a solution by optimising a genetic algorithm to obtain the optimal solution for the renovation of old neighbourhoods. Through data analysis and model testing of renovated old neighbourhoods, the results show that the method has an error of 2.04 days for the renovation duration, 0.89% for the cost and 0.43% for the quality score. The method significantly improves the efficiency of the search for excellence, while the study provides a reference path for the smart retrofitting of old neighbourhoods.

Bottom-up Urban Regeneration and Vacant Buildings: A Framework to understand how Empty Properties can be Strategically Embedded in Bottom-up Projects

The bottom-up projects, in the years after the Great Crisis, have been considered as a popular measure to solve urban issues, overcoming the conditions of austerity faced by public actors. However, these initiatives not only seem confined to solve very specific issues but are often linked to a more comprehensive urban regeneration strategy, thus capable of addressing the economic, social and physical aspects of a wider part of the city. This article presents the first findings of wider research, which analyses the link between bottom-up practices and the concept of urban regeneration. In particular, this article focuses on an element that appears to be fundamental for the development of these bottom-up urban regeneration practices: the presence of vacant buildings available for the reuse. This article suggests the possibility to analyse how vacant buildings are embedded in these practices through three steps, called steps for the regeneration through the reuse of vacant buildings (SteRVs), namely Recognition, Appropriation and Design. The validity of the three phases is demonstrated through a multiple case study analysis, that considers two renowned bottom-up urban regeneration cases developed in Europe mainly after 2000: Farm Cultural Park, in Favara (Italy) and NDSM wharf, in Amsterdam.

도시재생 뉴딜사업의 지방자치단체-대학 연계를 통한 주민-대학생 역량강화 : 대구시 중구 마을 건축학교를 중심으로

Purpose: The new deal project for urban regeneration is actively carried out nationwide. At this point, a new local government-university-linked urban regeneration program was implemented, in which local residents and local university students participate together to enhance the satisfaction of the residents and the performance of the class, while at the same time enhancing the field application ability of students majoring in university architecture. Method: A studio-type village architecture school consisting of residents and students was conducted. The students participated both as students and assistant instructors, coordinated residents" opinions on urban regeneration and visualized their ideas. A survey was conducted on participants to verify the effectiveness of the program. Result: Residents who participated in the school responded that the class management and their achievements were highly satisfied, and among them, the collaboration with university students was most contented. In addition, from the level of knowing the concept of urban regeneration only before education, residents were able to establish specific plans with the vision for urban regeneration in their own village after education. Participating students became aware of the the importance of the coordinator"s role and the difference between theory and practice through the class.

Pengaruh Regenerasi Kota Terhadap Kualitas Lingkungan Permukiman Industri Kecil Batik Studi Kasus: Kawasan Pabean, Kota Pekalongan

The development of Pekalongan city is rapidly due to its strategic location in the northern coast of Java and the establishment of a world heritage of Batik, so that it gives an influence on all aspects, especially social and economic. Pabean as one of the centers of the home-based batik industry in Pekalongan also played a role in the development of batik, but the existence of the tidal disaster coupled with the lack of conscious entrepreneurs in waste processing has made settlements at customs in a declining environmental quality. Regional recovery programs have been present with the aim of returning the function of settlement infrastructure and facilities in Pabean. This study seeks to examine how much influence the urban regeneration has on the quality of the residential environment in Pabean. by using multiple linear regression analysis using three independent variables which are the concept of urban regeneration, namely social relations of the community, participation of the private sector and the government in maintaining environmental quality, and the relationship between the public and private sector and the government towards the dependent variable of the quality of the settlement environment is obtained by the effect of 14, 29 percent.Keywords: urban regeneration, pekalongan, batik, Pabean

Beyond the Riverside: An Alternative Sustainable Vision for Khartoum Riverfront Development

The waterfront is the source of human civilization, culture, and the economy. A lot of beings depend on water for the life cycle in which humankind is no exception. Today, the entire human civilization is diligently associated with water areas such as rivers, seas, and oceans because they support sustainable transportation, habitat, and living. Such association is what brands waterfronts as one of the significant and useful urban regeneration concepts for cities and regions. Nonetheless, despite the attention has been assumed to Khartoum riverfront in the last two decades, the city is still unable to utilize it in terms of spatial capacities, environmental assets, and socio-cultural values. This article introduces a concept through which the riverfront assets of the city of Khartoum can be utilized and appropriated to improve the quality of it is riverfront. The objective of this paper is to provide a conceptual framework of riverfront development that is aimed at improving functional, socio-cultural, and environmental capacities of the city. This framework intended to make the Nile, and its tribunes the focus of daily life and maximize the interaction between the city and its water spaces. This concept is also expected to meet the escalating recreation demand, as witnessed by the rush on many new landscaped sites in different locations of Khartoum.

A New Framework for the Regeneration Process of Mediterranean Historic City Centres

For thousands of years, cities have evolved with changing needs. Cities are like living organisms, which are exposed to transformations as a result of changing needs and requirements. City centres are one of the attractive, essential, and vital parts of the city that are also affected by these changes. Specifically, historic city centres, which refer to the origins of the city, will be discussed within this context. Urban design aims to shape our cities with better quality and provide better places for everyday life. In addition, urban regeneration can be utilized as generic public policy for solving problems and providing physical improvements for these cities. Although the problems that emerge in each city are similar, sometimes they change circumstantially. As a result, the planning, implementation, and management of urban regeneration projects as well as their sustainability can produce serious complications. This article focuses on the process of urban regeneration, historic city centres, and the Mediterranean region and aims to develop an applicable regeneration framework for historic city centres limited to the Mediterranean region. First, the main problems of these cities are described. Next, characteristics of historic city centres and associated problems of the Mediterranean region are explained. Subsequently, the concept of urban regeneration is clarified, and the processes involved are discussed. Finally, an applicable urban regeneration framework for historic Mediterranean city centres, developed by the authors, is explained with the goal to reduce social segregation while incorporating the contributions of views from both local inhabitants and stakeholders in the process. The methodology of the overall research presented in this article is mainly based on a critical review of primary and secondary documents from the literature through a comparative and exploratory approach.

Theoretical and practical aspects of regeneration of decommissioned industrial areas in Oradea, Romania

Urban regeneration is known to be an experienced but complex phenomenon. Even though, over the years, urban regeneration, in Europe, has been widely used, but in Romania, the concept is still new, many formal industrial spaces are abandoned and there is a lack of interest in bringing these areas back to life. The aim of this paper is to study the concept of urban regeneration, figure out the practical aspects of it and observing the current situation of sites in the city of Oradea, Romania.

Tourism conversion and place branding: the case of the Olympic Park in Montreal

Purpose – Many Olympic cities are faced with the challenge of converting various remaining infrastructures after the Games have been held. These infrastructures, often imposing and highly specialized, require local actors to innovate and engage in an urban renewal process that can be very complex and expensive when trying to give them a second life as tourism sites. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – Based on an online survey administered to international travellers (n=5,553) and 36 semi-structured interviews with local stakeholders, this study shows that the Olympic Park, mainly through the stadium, has international recognition. Findings – However, the sustainability and development of these attractions will need a major overhaul with its welcoming amenities and the integration of the surrounding neighbourhoods in the regeneration plan. Originality/value – Among these facilities, we have the Montreal Olympic Stadium, which is often identified as the architectural jewel of the games and is used as an urban flagship in tourism development strategies. This situation raises several questions not only in the field of tourism, but also the fields of urban studies, leisure and sociology. This paper will examine the case of the Olympic Park in Montreal and its urban regeneration concepts and place branding that have been integrated into the tourism strategies since the early 2000s.

군사시설 이전부지 공원화 사례분석을 통한 시사점 도출

군사시설 이전부지는 근본적으로 공공 시설적 성격을 띄고 있어 공공 복리를 위한 활용 요구도가 높아지고 있으며, 이로 인해 공원으로 조성하는 사례가 증가하고 있다. 군사시설 이전부지에 대한 공원조성 사례를 분석한 결과 몇가지의 시사점을 도출하게 되었다. 공원조성의 목표는 도시재생의 개념 및 지역활성화 차원에서 접근할 필요가 있다. 이전부지를 전면 개조하는 방식보다는 기존 시설들을 최대한 재활용하여 경제적 이득을 취하고 동시에 지역정체성과 역사성을 재현할 필요가 있다. 공원의 규모가 대형화 되고 있어 단일시설 및 프로그램 보다는 복합공간으로 조성해 줄 필요가 있으며, 공원조성에 막대한 비용이 소요되므로 단계적으로 공원을 조성하는 방안을 고려할 필요가 있다. 군사시설이 지니고 있는 특수한 상황으로 공원조성 과정에서 현장조사가 미흡하여 설계변경 또는 오염처리에 막대한 비용이 소요되므로 사전에 이를 고려할 필요가 있다. 또한, 민간사업자에게 일부 부지에 대해 개발권을 위임하고 개발이익으로 공원조성과 운영관리비를 충당하는 방안도 검토가 필요하다. 군사시설 이전기지는 다양한 이해관계에 놓여 있으므로 사업추진과정에서 민관협치의 의사결정기구를 운영하는 방안을 고려할 필요가 있다. 다양한 재원조달과 수익사업 확대, 봉사 및 후원 활성화, 트러스트 및 비영리 단체의 공원운영 관리 참여 확대 등을 위해서는 도시공원 관련제도의 보완이 요구된다. Because of their nature as public facilities, demands that former military facilities be utilized for the public welfare are increasing, thereby leading to an increase in cases in which these military facilities are reestablished as parks. Cases in which former military bases were reestablished as public parks were analyzed; as a result, several implications were derived. First, the objectives of public park projects should be examined from the perspective of the concept of urban regeneration and regional revitalization. Moreover, it is necessary that profits are yielded and that regional identity and history are reproduced through reusing existing facilities as much as possible rather than entirely remodeling former military sites. As parks become larger in size, bases should be reorganized into complexes rather than single facilities or programs. It is also necessary that parks be established in stages considering the enormous expenses required for building public parks. Consequently, because the special characteristics of military facilities can lead to insufficient on-site investigation in the process of establishing parks, thereby incurring a vast amount of costs for design adjustment and contamination disposal, this should be considered in advance. A method of delegating the development rights to partial sites to private businesses and supplementing the costs of park establishment and maintenance with development benefits should be examined. In addition, given that there are various interests and stakes in former military bases, a method of operating a public-private cooperative decision-making organization during project execution should be considered. Finally, policies related to urban parks need to be improved in order to raise funds, expand profitable businesses, facilitate social services and sponsorship, and encourage the participation of trusts and non-profit organizations in park operation and management.

A regeneração urbana na política de cidades: inflexão entre o fordismo e o pós-fordismo

Inicialmente, este artigo apresenta algumas considerações sobre a definição do conceito de regeneração urbana, apresentando uma revisão da literatura científica sobre a origem do conceito e situando-o relativamente aos restantes fenómenos e processos "re" que decorrem como tendência no espaço urbano: reurbanização, revitalização, reestruturação, recomposição, renovação, reabilitação, requalificação etc. Num segundo ponto, serão discutidos alguns pressupostos e características do processo da regeneração urbana e que são simultaneamente princípios que orientam a teoria e a prática do processo no planeamento urbano, nomeadamente o facto de ser abrangente, integradora, estratégica, flexível, apoiada em parcerias e promotora de sustentabilidade/resiliência. Nessa linha de problematização será traçada a evolução do conceito ao longo das últimas cinco décadas, em função de várias alterações que se verificaram no contexto socioeconómico e político-ideológico do espaço urbano, desde o fordismo até ao pós-fordismo, tendo em atenção os principais atores-chave e stakeholders, bem como as principais estratégias e preocupações de política urbana.

On the Concept of Urban Regeneration: Samples of Kükürtlü and Mudanya in Bursa

Ozet: Son yillarda dunyanin bir cok ulkesinde oldugu kadar, Turkiye'deki planlama/mimarlik ortaminda da kentsel donusum kavrami uzerinde cesitli tartismalar yapilmaktadir. Kentsel donusum, kentsel sorunlara cozum uretmek amaciyla, degisime ugrayan bir bolgenin ekonomik, fiziksel, sosyal ve cevresel kosullarina kalici bir cozum saglama- ya calisan kapsamli bir vizyon ve eylem olarak ifade edilmektedir. Kentsel donusumun en temel hedefleri; fiziksel cokusu durdurmak ve tarihi dokunun surdurulebilirligini saglamak, ekonomik yasami canlandirmak, mimarlik ve kentsel yasam kalitesini arttirmak, kulture dayali dinamikleri harekete gecirmek ve donusum surecine her olcekte ilgili aktorlerin katilimini saglamaktir. Bu baglamda calismanin amaci, kentsel donusum konusuna aciklik getirmek ve Bursa kenti icinde islevini yitirmis bolgelerde gerceklesen iki projeyi yukarida bahsedilen hedefler dogrultusunda tartismaktir. Calismada yontem olarak, oncelikle literatur ve arsiv arastirmasi yapilmis, daha sonra ilgili kurumlardaki yetkililer- den ornek projelere iliskin somut veriler alinmis ve basit gozlem teknigiyle proje alanlarindaki uygulamalar incelen- mistir. Makalede ilk olarak, kentsel donusum kavraminin tanimi, nedenleri, gelisimi, uygulama bicimleri ve boyutlari irdelenmis, daha sonra Kukurtlu Kentsel Donusum Projesi ve Eski Mudanya Gar Binasi Restorasyonu ve Iskele Mey- dani Duzenleme Projesi tanitilmis ve degerlendirilmistir. Sonuc olarak, bir kentsel donusum projesi kapsaminda ele alinan Kukurtlu orneginin kentsel donusumun dort temel hedefini buyuk oranda sagladigi, ancak birbiriyle butunle- semeyen spontane ve parcacil projelerle cevresinde degisim/donusumu tetikleyen Mudanya orneginin ise kismen ilk uc hedefe cevap verdigi ve bir kentsel donusum projesi niteligi tasimadigi belirlenmistir. Abstract: In recent years, different arguments have been made about urban regeneration in Turkey, similar to many other countries in the world. Urban regeneration has been defined as a comprehensive process which leads to the solution of urban problems and seeks to bring about a lasting improvement in the economic, physical, social and environmental conditions of an area that has changed. The most fundamental aims of this concept are to prevent the physical decay and to supply the sustainability of historical texture, to revitalize the economic life, to improve the quality of architecture and urban life, to stimulate the cultural dynamics and to enable the participation of relevant actors in all scales of the regeneration process. In this context, the aim of the study is to explain the urban regenera- tion concept, and to discuss two projects implemented in urban districts of Bursa which have lost their functions, in relation to the aims mentioned above. Methods used in this study are the examination of written sources and archives, interviews with competent persons from relevant institutions and simple observations about the implementations in the project areas. In the introduction part of the study, the definition, reasons, development, methods, dimensions of urban regeneration concept have been evaluated, after which Kukurtlu Urban Regeneration Project, and the Restoration Project of Old Railway Station of Mudanya and Improvement Project of Port Square have been introduced and evaluated. Finally, it has been determined that Kukurtlu sample, evaluated as an urban regeneration project, meets almost all of the four aims of the urban regeneration concept, while Mudanya sample, which has caused transformation in the district with spontaneous and separate piecemeal projects, meets the first three aims partially and does not reflect the characteristics of an urban regeneration project.
