T1  - “Shrinking city” in Eastern Germany. The Term in the context of urban development in Poland
N2  - The aim of this doctoral thesis was to investigate whether the German term “shrinking city” is appropriate to depopulating Polish cities. In order to do so an attempt to define the currently still vague notion of “shrinking city” was made. The urban development of Eastern Germany was thoroughly examined both in a short term perspective and in a wide historical as well as international context, with the Polish urban development used as reference. 25 cities (kreisfreie Städte) in Eastern Germany and depopulating Polish cities: Łódź and the Metropolis Silesia were chosen as case studies. 
On the basis of the gathered information a “shrinking city” in Eastern Germany was defined as a city with a long-lasting population decrease coupled with over-dimensioned, growth-oriented development policies carried out for decades. Such a development path is triggering negative consequences in the spatial, economic and also demographic dimension, which tend to intensify each other.
 The thesis postulates that the definition of the “shrinking city in Eastern Germany” is not appropriate to depopulating cities in Poland. Polish cities are characterized by a short-lasting population decrease and this trend is not triggering negative spatial and economic consequences. Oversized growth development policies were never present in the cities and they still suffer from great deficiencies in housing and other basic infrastructure, which derive from the socialist period. Furthermore, radical de-economization, known from Eastern German cities, did not occur in the Polish cities. Both Łódź and the Metropolis Silesia remain main production centers of the country. 
This doctoral thesis presents a contradictory view to contemporary publications on “shrinking cities”, in which this phenomenon is regarded as having occurred suddenly after the collapse of the socialism. It proved that “shrinking cities” in Eastern Germany are not the outcome of short-lasting processes, but are deeply rooted in the past. Moreover, they represent a very distinct development pattern that highly differentiates from the one found in Central Eastern Europe and the one in Western Europe. In this way the doctoral thesis provided a new, critical approach to the discourse on “shrinking cities” in Germany. It also draws attention to the importance of the historical analysis in cities’ development research, particularly in cross border studies. In time of European integration peculiarities resulting from centuries of different spatial, economic and social development paths should not be underestimated.

T1  - URBANISM AND DICTATORSHIP. A Study on Urban Planning in Contemporary History of Iran, Second Pahlavi: 1941-1979
N2  - The evolution of urbanism under dictatorship forms the core of the current research. This thesis is part of a research network at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, which studies the 20th century's urbanism under different dictatorships. The network has provided a cross-cultural and cross-border environment and has enabled the author to communicate with other like-minded researchers. The 2015 published book of this group 'Urbanism and Dictatorship: A European Perspective' strengthens the foundation of this research's theoretical and methodological framework.
This thesis investigates urban policies and plans leading to the advancement of urbanization and the transformation of urban space in Iran during the second Pahlavi (1941-1979) when the country faced a milestone in its history: Nationalization of the Iranian oil industry. By reflecting the influence of economic and socio‐political determinants of the time on urbanism and the urbanization process, this work intends to critically trace the effect of dictatorship on evolved urbanism before and after the oil nationalization in 1951. 
The research on the second Pahlavi's urbanism has been limitedly addressed and has only recently expanded. Most of the conducted studies date back to less than a decade ago and could not incorporate all the episodes of the second Pahlavi urbanism. These works have often investigated urbanism and architecture by focusing merely on the physical features and urban products in different years regardless of the importance of urbanism as a tool in the service of hegemony. In other words, the majority of the available literature does not intend to address the socio-economic and political roots of urban transformations and by questioning 'what has been built?' investigates the individual urban projects and plans designed by individual designers without interlinking these projects to the state's urban planning program and tracing the beneficiaries of those projects or questioning 'built for whom?'
Moreover, some chapters of this modern urbanism have rarely been investigated. For instance, scant research has looked into the works of foreign designers and consultants involved in the projects such as Peter Georg Ahrens or Constantinos A. Doxiadis. Similarly, the urbanism of the first decade of the second Pahlavi, including the government of Mossadegh, has mainly been overlooked.
Therefore, by critically analyzing the state's urban planning program and the process of urbanization in Iran during the second Pahlavi, this research aims to bridge the literature gap and to unravel the effect of the power structure on urban planning and products while seeking to find a pattern behind the regime's policies. 
The main body of this work is concentrated on studying the history of urbanism in Iran, of which collecting data and descriptions played a crucial role. To prevent the limitations associated with singular methods, this research's methodology is based on methodological triangulation (Denzin, 2017). With the triangulation scheme, the data is gathered by combining different qualitative and quantitative methods such as the library, archival and media research, online resources, non-participatory observation, and photography. For the empirical part, the city of Tehran is selected as the case study. Moreover, individual non-structured interviews with the locals were conducted to gain more insights regarding urban projects.

T1  - The Shaping of People's Space - An Inquiry of Human Environmental Experiences and Planning Practice, China
N2  - One of the main focuses of recent Chinese urban development is the creation and retrofitting of public spaces driven by the market force and demand. However, researches concerning human and cultural influences on shaping public spaces have been scanty. There still exist many undefined ambiguous planning aspects institutionally and legislatively. This is an explanatory research to address interactions, incorporations and interrelationship between the lived environment and its peoples. It is knowledge-seeking and normative. Theoretically, public space in a Chinese context is conceptualized; empirically, a selected case is inquired. The research has unfolded a comparatively complete understanding of China’s planning evolution and on-going practices. Data collection emphasizes the concept of ‘people’ and ‘space’. First-hand data is derived from the intensive fieldwork and observatory and participatory documentations. The ample detailed authentic empirical data empowers space syntax as a strong analysis tool in decoding how human’s activities influence the public space. Findings fall into two categories but interdependent. Firstly, it discloses the studied settlement as a generic, organic and incremental development model. Its growth and established environment is evolutionary and incremental, based on its intrinsic traditions, life values and available resources. As a self-sustaining settlement, it highlights certain vernacular traits of spatial development out of lifestyles and cultural practices. Its spatial articulation appears as a process parallel to socio-economic transitions. Secondly, crucial planning aspects are theoretically summarized to address the existing gap between current planning methodology and practicalities. It pinpoints several most significant and particular issues, namely, disintegrated land use system and urban planning; missing of urban design in the planning system, loss of a human-responsive environment resulted from standardized planning and under-estimation of heritage in urban development. The research challenges present Chinese planning laws and regulations through urban public space study; and pinpoints to yield certain growth leverage for planning and development. Thus, planning is able to empower inhabitants to make decisions along the process of shaping and sustaining their space. Therefore, it discusses not only legislative issues, concerning land use planning, urban design and heritage conservation. It leads to a pivotal proposal, i.e., the integration of human and their social spaces in formulating a new spatial strategy. It expects to inform policymakers of underpinning social values and cultural practices in reconfiguring postmodern Chinese spatiality. It propounds that social context endemic to communities shall be integrated as a crucial tool in spatial strategy design, hence to strengthen spatial attributes and improve life quality.
N2  - Diese Forschungsarbeit hat erläuternden Charakter und konzentriert sich wissenssuchend und normativ auf ein aktuelles, reales Phänomen. Die zentrale Forschungsfrage lautet: „Wie wird menschliche Umwelterfahrung durch das Leben und kulturelle Handlungen geprägt?“ In der modernen chinesischen Stadtentwicklung gibt es nur wenige Forschungsarbeiten über menschliche und kulturelle Einflüsse auf den öffentlichen Raum. Der öffentliche Raum erscheint allgemein als wenig erforschtes Thema. Zudem lässt sich beobachten, dass dieser Begriff bei Entscheidungsträgern, Fachleuten und in der Öffentlichkeit einen jeweils unterschiedlichen Bedeutungsumfang hat. Darüber hinaus ist Städtebau in China weder legitimiert noch in die Stadtplanung integriert. In den letzen zwei Jahrzehnten hat sich jedoch ein dringender Bedarf an weiterer Forschung auf diesem Gebiet entwickelt. Dieser Bedarf ist praxisbezogen und verflochten mit der sozio-räumlichen Restrukturierung im Rahmen des sozioökonomischen Wandels in China. Diese Dissertation besteht aus zwei Teilen, in denen jeweils theoretische und normative Herangehensweisen verwendet werden: der theoretischen Erhebung und der empirischen Untersuchung. Der theoretische Teil beginnt mit einer kritischen Bewertung der historischen Entwicklung der chinesischen Stadtplanung und der diesbezüglichen Gesetzgebung. Er untersucht die Bedeutung und Begriffsdefinition öffentlichen Raumes in den drei Zeitabschnitten kaiserliches China (vor 1919), sozialistisches China unter Mao (1949 bis 1976) und modernes China im ökonomischen Wandel (1978 bis heute). Im Zusammenhang mit den im theoretischen Teil gewonnenen Erkenntnissen erscheint die Fallstudie als geeignetes Instrument zur Untersuchung, wie menschliche Bräuche zur Konzeptionalisierung von Räumen genutzt werden und welche intrinsische Räumlichkeit von einer bestimmten Gesellschaft erzeugt wird. Folglich konzentriert sich die empirische Untersuchung auf Aktivitäten von Menschen im öffentlichen Raum und auf die kulturellen Bräuche und Werte, die ihre gelebte Umwelt beeinflussen. Aufgrund des durch den Forschungsansatz und den gewählten Schwerpunkt vorgegebenen Rahmens sowie der Art der untersuchten Daten wird „Space Syntax“ als Analysewerkzeug für die erste Stufe der Datenverarbeitung eingesetzt. Es werden hierbei nur Daten verwendet, die durch mehrere Quellen gestützt sind, um die Gültigkeit und Verlässlichkeit der Ergebnisse zu gewährleisten. In diesem Zusammenhang hat sich die systematische, zielgerichtete Beobachtung verbunden mit Interviews als leistungsfähige Methode erwiesen, um menschliches Verhalten im öffentlichen Raum zu untersuchen. Die Ergebnisse bestätigen, dass sowohl die jeweiligen Regierungsbehörden als auch der Konfuzianismus die Entwicklung des öffentlichen Raumes deutlich beeinflusst haben. Öffentlicher Raum wurde im chinesischen Kontext begrifflich definiert, was eine der Voraussetzungen für die zukünftige Gestaltung des städtischen Raumes im Einklang mit kulturellen Werten und Bräuchen ist. Die betrachtete Siedlung wurde bezüglich der Gliederung des öffentlichen Raumes hinsichtlich der Lebensbräuche der Bewohner untersucht. Für die Beziehung zwischen dem Raum und seinen Einwohnern wurde ein zuverlässiges, deduktives Modell aufgestellt. Die Ergebnisse bestätigen eine signifikante Synergie zwischen Raumstruktur und sozialer Kultur. Auf der technischen Ebene wurde ein anwendbares Landnutzungsmuster bezüglich der Planung von öffentlichem Raum auf Stadtteilniveau ausgearbeitet. Dieses basiert auf der aktuellen nationalen Gesetzgebung, wurde aber um einen adaptiven Planungsansatz erweitert. Die Forschungsergebnisse bestätigen den dringenden Bedarf an einer zusätzlichen räumlichen Planungsstrategie zur Koordinierung von Menschen und ihrem sozialen Raum in China. Insbesondere wurden die vier wichtigsten Lücken zwischen der Planungsmethodologie und der realen Umsetzung identifiziert: 1) Das Landnutzungssystem ist nicht in die Stadtplanung integriert. Es fehlt ein systematischer und ganzheitlicher Planungsansatz. Landnutzungsplanung regelt das Management und die Überwachung der Durchführung nicht rechtsverbindlich. 2) Im gesamten Planungssystem Chinas fehlen aufgrund historischer und kultureller Aspekte städetbauliche Gesichtspunkte. Erschwerend kommen mangelnder Wettbewerb bei der Landnutzungsplanung, unzureichend qualifizierte lokale Fachplaner sowie mangelndes Problembewusstsein der Öffentlichkeit hinzu. 3) Die standardisierte Planung verursacht einen Verlust des „human-responsive environment“. 4) Die Bedeutung von Kulturdenkmälern für die Stadtentwicklung wird unterschätzt. Folglich sind Kulturdenkmäler keine Ziele aktueller Planungen.

T1  - THE ROLE OF THE GREAT PROPERTY IN THE EUROPEAN CITY-MAKING PROCESS IN THE LAST THIRD OF THE 20th CENTURY. MILITARY PROPERTY AS REFERENCE
N2  - The thesis concerns a work of urban history intended not to describe the city but rather to interpret it. By doing so, I have interpreted the city by means of the role played by the so-called ‘great property’ in the European city-making process during the last three decades of the 20th century, specifically focused on the concrete case of military properties in Italy. I have also considered the role played by other kinds of great properties, i.e. industries and railway, which previously acted in the production of the built environment in a different way respect to the military one. As all of them have as common denominator the fact of being ‘capital in land’, I analysed great industrial and railway properties in order to extrapolate a methodology which helped me to interpret the relationship between military properties and city-making process in Europe in the late 20th century. 
I have analysed the relationship between the capital in land and the city-making process on the ground of the understanding the interrelation between the great property, the urban development, and the agents involved in the urban and territorial planning. Here I have showed that urban planning is not the decisive factor influencing the citymaking process, but instead the power held by the capital in land. I have found that is the great property the trigger of the creation of new ‘areas of centrality’ intended as large areas for consumerism. As far as the role played by great property is concerned, I have also discovered that it has evolved over time. Originally, industrial and railway properties have been regenerated into a wide range of new profit-driven spaces; successively, I have found out that most of the regeneration of military premises aimed to materialise areas of centrality. The way of interpreting this factor has been based on focusing my attention on the military premises in Italy: I have classified their typology when they have been built and, most importantly, when they have been regenerated into new areas of centrality.
N2  - El trabajo aborda el entendimiento del proceso de construcción de la ciudad europea durante el último tercio del siglo XX, desde el protagonismo y el papel ejercido por la Gran Propiedad, un nuevo concepto elaborado ad hoc dentro del Programa Europeo European Joint Doctorate “urbanHist” en especial, aquella que se identifica con las instalaciones militares en Italia. 
El intento es esbozar un planteamiento teórico que nos permita un entendimiento de los fenómenos que asisten al proceso de construcción histórico de las ciudades europeas. Bien entendido, que los presupuestos teóricos esbozados se verificarán, en un intento por elaborar una “praxis-teórica”, con ejemplos, casos estudio, extraídos de la realidad construida que identifica a algunas ciudades europeas.

T1  - The reverse of urban planning. Towards a 20th century history of informal urbanization in Europe and its origins in Madrid and Paris (1850-1940)
N2  - The objective of this thesis was to understand the 20th-century history of informal urbanisation in Europe and its origins in Madrid and Paris. The concept of informal urbanisation was employed to refer to the process of developing shacks and precarious single-family housing areas that were not planned by the public powers and were considered to be substandard because of their below-average materials and social characteristics. Our main hypothesis was that despite being a phenomenon with ancient roots, informal urbanisation emerged as a public problem and was subsequently prohibited in connection with another historical process occurred: the birth of contemporary urban planning. Therefore, its transformation into a deviant and illegal urban growth mechanism would have been a pan-European process occurring at the same pace that urban planning developed during the first decades of the 20th century. 
Analysing the 20th-century history of informal urbanisation in Europe was an ambitious task that required using a large number of sources. To contend with this issue, this thesis combined two main methods: historiographical research about informal urbanisation in Europe and archival research of two case studies, Madrid and Paris, to make the account more precise by analysing primary sources of the subject. 
Our research of these informal areas, which were produced mainly through poor private allotments and housing developed on land squats, revealed two key moments of explosive growth across Europe: the 1920s and 1960s. The near disappearance of informal urbanisation throughout the continent seemed to be a consequence not of the historical development of urban planning—which was commonly transgressed and bypassed—but of the exacerbation of global economic inequalities, permitting the development of a geography of privilege in Europe.
Concerning the cases of Paris and Madrid, the origins of informal urbanisation—that is, the moment the issue started to be problematised—seemed to occur in the second half of the 19th century, when a number of hygienic norms and surveillance devices began to control housing characteristics. From that moment onwards, informal urbanisation areas formed peripheral belts in both cities. This growth became the object of an illegalisation process of which we have identified three phases: (i) the unregulated development of the phenomenon during the second half of the 20th century, (ii) the institutional production of “exception regulations” to permit a controlled development of substandard housing in the peripheral fringes of both cities, and (iii) the synchronic prohibition of informal urbanisation in the 1920s and its illegal reproduction.

T1  - The Effect of the International Community Presence in the Urban Development of Post Conflict City Case Study: Kosova
N2  - Post Conflict Reconstruction is a very complex topic, whether it is to be undertaken by the Local or the International Community. The process of the Post Conflict Development is to be very hard to investigate, primarily for the combination of socio-cultural phenomena, war and political instability; having difficulties of conducting solid empirical analysis (obtaining reliable data) and dealing with war-torn communities.   The multifaceted process of the reconstruction is ought to touch a lot of countries vital segments, whereas each of them requires different approach; coordination with one another; and unification in their common aim.
The emergency of the assistance programs are not equal, same as with the priority and weight when compared with each other, therefore occasionally there are programs for the success of which the other less important actions are violated or neglected. 
The case is with the International Community presence ( the set up), which aside from their mission and projects, it is considered to play a very important role on the urban development of a post conflict city; the setting was never planned or considered in a holistic manner, therefore IC establishment was done ad hoc and it was guided by issues which did not help at its greatest to the urban development of the city and more over to the citizens who were most in need. 
The study is about the Urban Development, due to the fact that the biggest concentration of the International Community is likely to be in the urban centers, and the experienced changes are of a much considerable magnitude. The reconstruction phase is likely to be lasting at about 10 years and more , consequently the International Community for that time being tends to be recognized as temporary citizens of the city, and it is inevitably that they will be having an impact on the urban development of the city; in that basis it is considered to be significant that the International Community Establishment/Set Up be included into the International Organizations mission and assist in the overall mission of the reconstruction.

T1  - The Contemporary Development of Qingdao's Urban Space - The Perspective of Civil Society's Participation in Chinese Urban Planning
N2  - The main hypothesis of this research is that civil society’s participation is able to improve the planning results in the Chinese city of Qingdao in the contemporary age. Qingdao is a young city developed from a German colony in eastern China. Apart from the powers of the government and the market, the 'third power', including mainly the power of volunteer citizens and the citizens’ organisations, also positively promoted the spatial development in Qingdao’s history. Since 1978’s reform, Qingdao’s great progress in urban housing, historic preservation, public space and urban traffic results mainly from the increasing strength of both the government and the market, while the government has always been the dominant promoter for urban construction. The actual planning mechanism – the government formulates 'what to do' itself and decides 'how to do it' with the market – has much limit in reacting to the rapidly changing situation, serving diversified social interests, and raising sufficient funds for the city’s urgent demands in Qingdao. Searching for new development strategies based on the understanding of civil society in the Chinese context can provide a promising perspective on the urban studies of Qingdao. Chinese civil society can be understood as the intermediate sphere of individuals, families, citizen’s organisations, social movements, public communication, and of the non-governmental body’s non-for-profit involvement for the provision of public services between the state and the market. China has its own cultural tradition of civil society, and the modern civil society in China is showing its great potential in improving social integration and urban life. The Chinese government has started to advocate for civil society’s participation in urban construction, and encouraging the 'bottom-up' mechanism in the planning-related issues through political statements and legislative approaches since the last two decades. The existing planning practice in China is able to demonstrate that civil society’s participation helps improve the quality of Chinese urban planning realistically under present conditions, and that moderation of planning experts and the push of the authority are the key factors for successfully integrating the strength of civil society in planning. However, the power of civil society is not yet sufficiently discovered in Qingdao’s planning. For better planning results, the city of Qingdao needs more initiatives to mobilize civil society in the planning practice, as well as more support to enrich the related studies. This thesis recommends that Qingdao establishes the 'Foundation for Collaborative Urban Solutions' through the joint efforts of the authority and civil initiatives, which aims at moderating and facilitating the strength of civil society. The suggested pilot projects include: a. The Community-based Housing Workshop for regenerating the living environment of the run-down communities, where the residents are willing to collaborate with the foundation with own efforts. b. The Heritage Preservation Workshop for suggesting an efficient supervision mechanism involving civil society which protects the historic heritage from being destroyed in the urban construction. c. The Public Space Forum for improving accessibility, quantity and ecologic function in the development of Qingdao’s urban public space with the knowledge and creativity of both the government and the citizens. d. The Mass Transport Forum for a realistic strategy for funding the rail-based traffic system in Qingdao through enabling the civil society - especially the individual citizens and their households to invest. The 'Foundation of Collaborative Urban Solutions' is able to improve Qingdao’s planning to cope with the urban problems the city are facing in its contemporary development, as well as to provide valuable reference for the further research of civil society’s participation in Chinese urban planning.
N2  - Die Haupthypothese dieser Arbeit ist, dass durch Beteiligung der Zivilgesellschaft am Planungsprozess die Planungsergebnisse in der chinesischen Stadt Qingdao in der gegenwärtigen Zeit verbessert werden können. Durch das schnelle Wachstum vom kleinen Fischerdorf zu modernen Metropole, sind die stadtplanerischen Erfahrungen in Qingdao stark an die Adaption moderner Planungsideen einerseits und an die dominierende städtische Planungsbehörde andererseits geknüpft. Abgesehen vom Einfluss der Zentralmacht trug auch die nicht-staatliche Seite, dazu zählen die Bürgerbewegungen und die Wirtschaftsverbände, zur räumlichen Entwicklung Qingdaos bei. Seit der 'Reform 1978' hat Qingdao große Fortschritte beim städtischen Wohnungswesen, beim Denkmalschutz, beim öffentlichen Raum und städtischen Verkehr gemacht. Nicht nur der Umfang, sondern auch die Qualität des städtischen Raumes hat sich erheblich verbessert. Die beachtlichen Leistungen sind das Ergebnis zunehmender gemeinsamer Anstrengungen der Regierung und des Marktes, wenngleich die staatliche Seite immer die treibende Kraft der städtebaulichen Entwicklung war. Der gegenwärtige Planungsvollzug – bei dem die Regierung selbst vorgibt 'was zu tun ist' und gemeinsam mit dem Markt entscheidet 'wie dies zu tun ist' – enge Grenzen besitzt, wenn es gilt, auf schnell verändernde Situationen zu reagieren, unterschiedliche soziale Interessen zu bedienen oder ausreichend finanzielle Mittel für dringende städtische Probleme zur Verfügung zu stellen. Die Suche nach neuen Entwicklungsstrategien, die auf einem Verständnis der Zivilgesellschaft im Kontext Chinas basieren, kann eine aussichtsreiche Perspektive für stadtplanerische Untersuchungen Qingdaos bieten. Im einem Verständnis des sozialen Wandels in China, definiert sich die Zivilgesellschaft aus einem Sphäre von Individuen, Familien, Bürgerorganisationen, sozialen Bewegungen, öffentlichen Kommunikation heraus und aus den nichtstaatlichen Institutionen des 'non-for-profit Involvements' zur Einrichtung öffentlicher Dienstleistungen zwischen Staat und Markt. Es gibt ausreichend Beweise dafür, das China in seiner eigenen Kultur über viele Quellen einer Zivilgesellschaft verfügt. Die vorhandene stadtplanerische Praxis in China kann auf ihre Weise zeigen, das Bürgerbeteiligung dabei hilft, die Qualität der Stadtplanung unter gegebenen Bedingungen in realistischer Weise zu verbessern. Außerdem sind Moderation im Planungsprozess und der Antrieb durch die Regierung, zwei wichtige Schlüsselfaktoren, zur erfolgreichen Einbindung des Einflusses bürgerlicher Beteiligung im Planungsprozess. Allerdings wurde die Bedeutung der zivilgesellschaft für die Stadtplanung Qingdaos bisher noch nicht ausreichend untersucht. Um bessere Ergebnisse im Planungsprozess zu erzielen, braucht die Stadt Qingdao mehr Initiativen, die die Gesellschaft im Planungsprozess mobilisieren und auch mehr Unterstützung dabei, ähnliche Studien mit Erkenntnissen anzureichern. Diese These befürwortet, dass Qingdao eine “Foundation for Collaborative Urban Solutions” für gemeinsame Bemühungen der Regierung und bürgerlicher Initiativen einrichten sollte, die auf einen erleichterten und angemessenen Einfluss der Zivilgesellschaft in Planungen zielt. Die vorgeschlagenen Pilotprojekte beinhalten. a. Ein 'Community-based Housing Workshop' um das Lebensumfeld in den heruntergekommenen Gemeinden zu regenerieren, wo ortsansässige Willens sind, durch eigene Anstrengungen mit der Stiftung zusammenzuarbeiten. b. Den 'Heritage Preservation Workshop' um einen effizienten Supervisionsprozess unter Einbeziehung der Zivilgesellschaft anzuregen, der das historische Erbe vor Zerstörung im städtischen Aufbau beschützt. c. Ein 'Public Space Forum' um Zugänglichkeit, Ausmaß und ökologische Funktion bei der Entwicklung des öffentlichen Raumes in Qingdao zu verbessern, mit dem Wissen und der Kreativität sowohl der Regierung als auch der Bürger. d. Das 'Mass Transport Forum' für eine realistische Strategie zur Förderung eines schienenbasierten Verkehrssystems in Qingdao, die der Gesellschaft, speziell auch dem einzelnen Bürger ermöglichen soll sich zu beteiligen. Einer 'Foundation of Collaborative Urban Solutions' ist es möglich, Qingdaos Planungen zu unterstützen und die städtebaulichen Schwierigkeiten - denen die Stadt in der gegenwärtigen Entwicklung gegenübersteht - zu bewältigen. Ebenso ist sie fähig, wertvolle Hinweise für weitergehende Untersuchungen, zu Bürgerbeteiligung in der Stadtplanung Chinas, zu liefern.

T1  - Nature in Megacities: São Paulo/Brazil - A Case Study
N2  - Die vorliegende Studie analysiert Umweltdienstleistungen von städtischer Vegetation innerhalb der Stadtgrenzen einer Megacity durch maßstabsübergreifende Modellierung und versucht ihren Nutzen näherungsweise zu quantifizieren. Aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln werden die Vorteile (sowie die Herausforderungen) von in Städte eingebetteter Natur für die Bevölkerung aufgezeigt. Aus geographischer Sicht wird, hier am Fallbeispiel der Stadt São Paulo/ Brasilien, das Profil der Megastädte in den niedrigen (tropischen) Breiten betrachtet. Im allgemeinen wird die städtische Vegetation dort von Bevölkerung, Regierungen und ökonomischen Strukturen vernachlässigt. Sie ist zwar spärlich vorhanden, wird aber kaum bewusst wahrgenommen.Während der kurzen Geschichte rasanter Verstädterung, die von massiver Umweltzerstörung begleitet ist, wird Stadtgrün im Disput um den Raum in Städten wie São Paulo zum wahren Luxus. Nicht als Rückentwicklung, sondern als Fortschritt, wird gezeigt, daß ein Ideal durch die Verflechtung zwischen Natur und Stadt dargestellt würde. Die näherungsweise Quantifizierung der Variationen zwischen aktuellem Szenario und begrünten Szenarien zeigt die Notwendigkeit das städtische Biom als ein vom Menschen dominiertes Ökosystem neu zu überdenken. Die Nutzen von städtischer Vegetation sind facettenreich. Diese Arbeit detailliert Vegetation als Katalysator des klimatischen und ökologischen Gleichgewichtes. Des weiteren behandlt sie aktuelle Themen wie Klimawandel, Energieeffizienz und thermische Behaglichkeit, sowie die Reinigung der natürlichen Ressourcen Boden, Wasser und Luft. Insbesondere da derzeit keine effizienten technischen Lösungen existieren, um die Umweltleistungen der Vegetation zu ersetzten. Diese Nutzen tragen zur Lebensqualität und in kontrastreichen Megastädten insbesondere zu sozio-ökologischer Gerechtigkeit bei. Die Vegetation hat in Städten zwei wichtige Dimensionen. Die funktionale Seite bringt konkrete, meßbare Umweltnutzen. Aus symbolischer Sicht repräsentiert Vegetation Natur in Städten, sowie ursprüngliche Naturverbundenheit des Menschen. Zusammenfassend verteidigt die Studie die Wichtigkeit und Wertschätzung von Natur und die vereinigten Anstrengung für wirklich grüne Städte, u.a. weil diese Arbeit zeigt, dass finanzielle Investitionen in städtische Vegetation sich direkt auf die Kosten für das Gesundheitssystem und die Infrastruktur auswirken. Die Stadtregierung São Paulo investierte 2008 umgerechnet 122 Millionen Euro (einhundertzweiundzwanzig Millionen Euro) in Stadtgrün (und Umwelt), dass jährlich mindestens 665 Millionen Euro (Sechshunderfünfundsechzig Millionen Euro) einspart. D.h. mit anderen Worten, dass jeder Euro 1 der in Pflanzung und Pflege von Stadtgrün investiert wird, der Gesellschaft, und damit letzendlich den Einwohnern São Paulos, Ausgaben von mindestens 5 Euro für Gesundheit, den Bau von Regenwasserrückhaltebecken, Energie etc. einspart.
N2  - The present study analysis the environmental benefits of urban vegetation within the municipal boundary of a megacity through multi scale integrated modelling to estimate its benefits approximately. The advantages (and challenges) that Nature, inserted into cities, offers to the population are observed from different viewpoints. As geographical reference the profile of megacities located in low (tropical) latitudes was observed, in a case study on the city of São Paulo/ Brazil. Commonly, urban vegetation is overlooked by local people, governments and economical structures. Although sparse vegetation exists, it is hardly recognized. Along the brief history of rapid urbanization which is accompanied by massive environmental degradation, urban green becomes, in the dispute for space, a true luxury in cities like São Paulo. Not as retrogression but as advance, it demonstrates that the integration between nature and city would be desirable. The approximated quantification of the variations which occur between actual scenario and greened scenarios shows the need to rethink the urban biome as a man-dominated ecosystem. The benefits of the urban vegetation are diverse. This work details plants as agents of climatic and ecosystem balance and performance. It also approaches current issues like climate change, energy efficiency and thermal comfort, as well as the purification of natural resources, through the treatment of water, soil and air. Especially because at present no efficient technical solutions exist, that could substitute the environmental services of the vegetation. These benefits contribute to quality of life and increase socio-environmental equity especially important in high-contrast megacities. The vegetation assumes two important roles in cities. The functional dimension brings concrete and measurable benefits to the environment. From a symbolic vision, vegetation represents Nature in cities, approximating humans to their origins. Conclusively the study defends the importance of the valorization of Nature and of the united efforts for literally green cities because it proves that financial investment in urban vegetation has direct effects on the costs destined to the areas of health and infrastructure. The City of São Paulo, invested in 2008 about US$ 180 million (one hundred and eighty million dollars) in urban green (and environment) which tends to save US$ 980 million (nine hundred and eighty million dollars) of expenses annually. In other words, for each US$ 1 invested in planting and maintenance of urban green, the society saves at least US$ 5 of expenses in health, construction of French drains, energy etc.

T1  - FORM-ACTIVITY-MOVEMENT INTERACTION MODEL
N2  - This dissertation investigates the interactions between urban form, allocation of activities, and pedestrian movement in the context of urban planning. The ability to assess the long-term impact of urban planning decisions on what people do and how they get there is of central importance, with various disciplines addressing this topic. This study focuses on approaches proposed by urban morphologists, urban economists, and transportation planners, each aiming the attention at a different part of the form-activity-movement interaction. Even though there is no doubt about the advantages of these highly focused approaches, it remains unclear what is the cost of ignoring the effect of some interactions while considering others. The general aim of this dissertation is to empirically test the validity of the individual models and quantify the impact of this isolationist approach on their precision and bias. 
For this purpose, we propose a joined form-activity-movement interaction model and conduct an empirical study in Weimar, Germany. We estimate how the urban form and activities affect movement as well as how movement and urban form affect activities. By estimating these effects in isolation and simultaneously, we assess the bias of the individual models.
On the one hand, the empirical study results confirm the significance of all interactions suggested by the individual models. On the other hand, we were able to show that when these interactions are estimated in isolation, the resulting predictions are biased. To conclude, we do not question the knowledge brought by transportation planners, urban morphologists, and urban economists. However, we argue that it might be of little use on its own. 
We see the relevance of this study as being twofold. On the one hand, we proposed a novel methodological framework for the simultaneous estimation of the form-activity-movement interactions. On the other hand, we provide empirical evidence about the strengths and limitations of current approaches.
