TY - THES A1 - Bielik, Martin 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.

A (re)search for creative collaborations and active exercises of citizenship N2 - This practice-based research examines platforms and encounters that have a participatory character as a strategy to create lived and shared experiences where new forms of appropriation of the city can emerge. The selected case studies propose and initiate certain urban experiences that induce changes in perception, the exchange of perspectives, and that denaturalize habits and patterns of behavior. I suggest that when these sensitive experiences become imprinted in body memory, they can empower citizens to have more active, creative, and/or critical attitudes towards their environments. Searching for new repertoires of everyday practices that contest commodification of both the body and the city, this thesis is oriented towards open-ended processes of constructing mentalities rather than those of planning changes on the material conditions of public space. It uses forms of academic investigation that merge intellectual debate and experimental practice, joining art, urbanism and social engaged practices in an extradisciplinary (Howes 2007) attitude towards the city. Based on the materials generated by the case studies (combining theoretical knowledge with artistic sensibility), the affective and corporeal involvement of researchers in the situations they analyze and co-create, is sustained in opposition to the traditional academic critical distance. N2 - Esta investigação de base prática examina encontros e plataformas de base participativa como uma estratégia para criar vivências partilhadas onde novas formas de apropriação urbana possam ocorrer. Os estudos de caso selecionados propõem e iniciam certas experiências urbanas que induzem mudanças perceptivas, o intercâmbio de perspectivas e a desnaturalização de hábitos e padrões de comportamento. O trabalho sugere que, quando estas experiências são impressas na memória corporal dos participantes, estes poderão ser capacitados a ter atitudes mais ativas, creativas e/ou críticas em relação ao meio onde vivem. Buscando novos repertórios de práticas quotidianas que contestem a mercantilização do corpo e da cidade, esta tese está orientada aos processos abertos de construção de mentalidades ao invés do planejamento de alterações nas condições materiais do espaço público. São usadas formas de investigação acadêmica que dilui as fronteiras entre o debate intelectual e a prática experimental, unindo arte, urbanismo e práticas sociais numa atitude extradisciplinar (Howes 2007) em relação à cidade. Baseado em materias gerados pelos estudos de caso (combinando conhecimento teórico e sensibilidade artística), esta tese sustenta o envolvimento afetivo e corpóreo dos investigadores em situações que eles analisam e co-produzem, opondo-se assim à tradicional distância crítica acadêmica.

Dekodierung und Inszenierung "räumlicher Identität" als Potenzial zur Qualifizierung der verstädterten Landschaft. T1 - The Image of the Zwischenstadt. Decoding and creating spatial identity as a way to improve the urbanised landscape. N2 - Die Arbeit „Das Bild der Zwischenstadt“ sucht nach Möglichkeiten zur Qualifizierung der verstädterten Landschaft, für die Thomas Sieverts den Begriff „Zwischenstadt“ geprägt hat. Die Auseinandersetzung mit „räumlicher Identität“ steht dabei im Mittelpunkt: In deren Dekodierung und Inszenierung wird ein Potenzial erkannt, die Aufenthalts- und Erlebnisqualität der Zwischenstadt zu verbessern. Der Betrachtungsraum der Arbeit zwischen Frankfurt am Main und seinen prosperierenden Umlandgemeinden eignet sich in besonderer Weise, die „Anatomie der Zwischenstadt“ zu dekodieren. Schicht für Schicht wird der Versuch unternommen, die eigene Sprache dieses Raumes zu entziffern. Dabei werden Methoden der Beschreibung und Darstellung entwickelt, die den spezifischen räumlichen Eigenschaft der Zwischenstadt gerecht zu werden suchen. Die Ergebnisse dieser Auseinandersetzung lassen deutliche Transformationen in der Zwischenstadt erkennen und entheben sie aus ihrer vermeintlichen Eigenschaftslosigkeit. Orte mit Bedeutung, Zusammenhänge und Raumgeschichten werden lesbar, es zeigen sich Ansätze eigener Urbanität und Zentralität. Die Zwischenstadt hat sich von ihrer einseitigen Dependenz zur Kernstadt gelöst, tritt aber gleichzeitig in einen umfassenden Wandel, um sich geänderten Lebensformen und Bedürfnissen anzupassen. Ältere, den Raum prägende Einfamilienhausgebiete und Großsiedlungen, aber auch monofunktionale Gewerbegebiete und die typischen suburbanen Einkaufszentren erfüllen keineswegs mehr automatisch die Wohnwünsche und Anforderungen einer Dienstleistungs- und Freizeitgesellschaft. Die Arbeit greift die unverkennbare Transformation des Bildes der Zwischenstadt als Chance zur Qualifizierung dieses Raumes auf. Entwickelt werden Qualifizierungsmodelle, die der Tendenz zu Segregation und Abtrennung mit einer neuen Integrationskultur für die Zwischenstadt begegnen: Als prägender Lebensraum der Stadtregion muss die Zwischenstadt einen großen Teil der Bedürfnisse Ihrer Bewohner und Benutzer an den Raum befriedigen. Zunehmend sind diese Bedürfnisse nicht nur funktioneller Art, sondern werden überlagert von einem Bedürfnis nach Raumqualität, Verortung und Identifikationsmöglichkeiten. Für diese Bedürfnisse angemessene und auratische Raumbilder zu finden oder zu inszenieren, ist im Angesicht des Status Quo der Stadtlandschaft eine wichtige Herausforderung. N2 - In “The Image of the Zwischenstadt” (“Das Bild der Zwischenstadt”) possibilities are sought to qualify the urbanized landscape, for which Thomas Sieverts coined the term Zwischenstadt. Particular focus is placed on the examination of “spatial identity”. In its decryption and presentation a potential to improve the attractiveness of experience and quality of life in the Zwischenstadt is to be found. The area examined between the city of Frankfurt am Main and the prosperous communities surrounding it is particularly suited to decrypt the anatomy of the Zwischenstadt. Layer by layer the attempt is made to decipher the unique language of this space. At the same time, methods of description and presentation are being developed which are capable of doing justice to the specific spatial qualities of the Zwischenstadt. The results of this examination show that the Zwischenstadt has undergone significant changes and release it from its supposed facelessness. Rather, places with meaning, context and history emerge; the beginnings of an independent urbanity and centrality can be seen. The Zwischenstadt has been able to detach itself from its one-sided dependence on the central city, while at the same time undergoing a comprehensive transformation to cope with the changes in needs and ways of life. By no means do the older neighborhoods of single family homes and large residential estates which had characterized the area, or single-function industrial areas and typical suburban shopping centers, continue to automatically fulfill the housing requirements and desires of a leisure society in a service economy. The paper seizes the unmistakable transformation in the image of the Zwischenstadt as an opportunity to qualify this space. Qualification models are developed within it which confront the tendency for segregation and separation with a new culture of integration for the Zwischenstadt. As the formative living environment in the urban area, the Zwischenstadt must satisfy most of the needs its inhabitants and consumers have regarding the area. Increasingly, these needs are not only of a functional variety, but are being superimposed by a need for spatial quality, a sense of belonging and the ability to identify with the area. Given the status quo, finding and producing appropriate and auratic spatial defining elements remains an important challenge.

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.

As revealed in the 2011 Revision of the World Urbanization Prospects published by the United Nations, 51% of the global population (approximately 3.6 billion people) lives in cities. The report predicts that by 2050, the world’s urban population will increase by 2.3 billion, making up 68% of the population. The growth of urbanization in the next few decades is expected to primarily come from developing countries, one third of which will be in China and India. With rapid urbanization and the ongoing growth of mega cities, cities must become increasingly resilient and intelligent to cope with numerous challenges and crises like droughts and floods arising from extreme climate, destruction brought by severe natural disasters, and aggregated social contradictions resulting from economic crises. All cities face the urban development dynamics and uncertainties arising from these problems. Under such circumstances, cities are considered the critical path from crisis to prosperity, so scholars and organizations have proposed the construction of “resilient cities.” On the one hand, this theory emphasizes cities’ defenses and buffering capacity against disasters, crises and uncertainties, as well as recovery after destruction; on the other hand, it highlights the learning capacity of urban systems, identification of opportunities amid challenges, and maintenance of development vitality. Some scholars even believe that urban resilience is a powerful supplement to sustainable development. Hence, resilience assessment has become the latest and most important perspective for evaluating the development and crisis defense capacity of cities. Rather than a general abstract concept, urban resilience is a comprehensive measurement of a city’s level of development. The dynamic development of problems is reflected through quantitative indicators and appraisal systems not only from the perspective of academic research, but also governmental policy, so as to scientifically guide development, and measure and compare cities’ development levels. Although international scholars have proposed quantitative methods for urban resilience assessment, they are however insufficiently systematic and regionally adaptive for China’s current urban development needs. On the basis of comparative study on European and North American resilient city theories, therefore, this paper puts forwards a theoretical framework for resilient city systems consistent with China’s national conditions in light of economic development pressure, natural resource depletion, pollution, and other salient development crises in China. The key factors influencing urban resilience are taken into full consideration; expert appraisal is conducted based on the Delphi Method and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to design an extensible and updatable resilient city evaluation system which is sufficiently systematic, geographically adaptable, and sustainable for China’s current urban development needs. Finally, Changsha is taken as the main case for empirical study on comprehensive evaluation of similar cities in Central China to improve the indicator system.

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.

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.

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.

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.
