Die Arbeit ist in zwölf Kapitel gegliedert und beinhaltet einen Prolog und Epilog. Im Anhang sind Originaltexte sowohl von Hamburger wie von Paulick, Mitarbeiterlisten der von Paulick betriebenen Firmen in Shanghai, eine Liste der Bühnenbilder von Paulick in Shanghai, die Projektlisten beider Architekten in der Emigration sowie die Literaturliste veröffentlicht. Der Prolog beleuchtet die Situation in der DDR nach der Rückkehr von Paulick und Hamburger aus der Emigration. Unter dem Druck der Partei (SED) mussten beide ihre Biographie erweitern und säubern. Der starke ideologische Hintergrund verhinderte in der DDR zwischen 1950 bis zum Ende 1989 eine ehrliche Aufarbeitung der Emigration und im Falle von Hamburger einen unverstellten Blick auf seine Tortur in den Arbeitslagern (Gulag) der Sowjetunion. Das ersten Kapitel beleuchtet die Herkunft und Ausbildung der beiden, als Studenten bei Hans Poelzig und Hermann Jansen; im Falle von Paulick seine Kooperation mit Georg Muche und seinen Mitarbeit im Büro von Walter Gropius; im Falle von Hamburger seine Mitarbeit als Meisterschüler bei Hans Poelzig und anderen. Auch die Mitgliedschaft der beiden in der 'Gruppe Junger Architekten' (GIA) wird beleuchtet. Rudolf Hamburger kam 1930 als Arbeitsemigrant nach Shanghai und konnte wegen seiner jüdischen Wurzeln nach der Machtübernahme durch die Nationalsozialisten 1933 nicht nach Deutschland zurückkehren. Er half Paulick 1933 bei der Flucht nach Shanghai, als dieser aus politischen Gründen Deutschland verlassen musste. Die weitere Karriere und das Privatleben bei beiden wurden durch diese Umstände bestimmt. Die Dissertation beleuchtet den sozialen und politischen Hintergrund während ihrer Zeit in der Emigration. Rudolf Hamburger wurde als Architekt für das Shanghai Municipal Council zwischen 1930 und 1937 zu einem wichtigen Protagonisten für die Entwicklung der modernen Architektur in Shanghai, der hier erstmals vorgestellt wird. Neben dieser Arbeit gründete er 1932 die Firma THE MODERN HOME, die 1934 in die Firma MODERN HOME überführt wurde und die zwischen 1937 und 1949 von Richard Paulick unter dem Namen MODERN HOMES weitergeführt wurde. Richard Paulick war auch als Bühnenbildner zwischen 1936 und 1949 an unterschiedlichen Theatern in Shanghai aktiv. Als Professor für Stadtplanung lehrte er zwischen 1943 und 1949 an der St. John’s Universität zum ersten Mal die Prinzipien der Moderne in diesem Feld in China. Er spielte auch eine Schlüsselrolle bei der Stadtplanung für Groß-Shanghai zwischen 1945 und 1949, die nach den Prinzipien der organischen Dezentralisation erfolgte. Die Schwierigkeiten seiner Weiteremigration in die USA oder der Rückkehr nach Deutschland zwischen 1947 und 1949, bis zu seiner Heimkehr in die DDR 1950, bilden den letzten Abschnitt in seinem Fall. Bei Rudolf Hamburger kommt hinzu, dass er in den dreißiger Jahren für den Geheimdienst der sowjetischen Armee (GRU) aktiv wurde. Die Tätigkeit als Architekt nutzte er in der Folge lediglich zur Deckung seiner anderen Aktivitäten. Die Emigration nach Polen, die Schweiz, erneut China, die Sowjetunion und in den Iran (1936–1943) sind immer den Zielen der geheimdienstlichen Tätigkeit untergeordnet. Mit dubiosen Vorwürfen wurde Hamburger 1943 in Moskau konfrontiert und in ein Arbeitslager deportiert, wo er nach Folter und schwierigen Haftbedingungen erst 1952 frei gelassen wurde. Bis 1955 lebte er in der Verbannung in der Ukraine und konnte dann mit der Hilfe seines Freundes Richard Paulick in die DDR einreisen. N2 - Two students of Poelzig in emigration: Rudolf Hamburger and Richard Paulick between Shanghai and East-Berlin (1930–1955) (Hamburger _ China, Poland, Switzerland, Iran, USSR) (Paulick _ China) This thesis is based on the life and work of the two architects Rudolf Hamburger (1903–1980) and Richard Paulick (1903–1979) during their emigration between 1930 and 1955. The work is subdivided into twelve chapters and includes a prologue and epilogue. In the appendix are original texts of Hamburger as well as Paulick, lists of employees of the firms of Paulick in Shanghai, a list of all the stage designs done by Paulick in Shanghai, a project list of both architects during their time in emigration and a bibliography. The prologue gives an introduction to the situation in the GDR after Paulick and Hamburger returned from emigration. Under the pressure of the party (SED) they had to extend and clean out their biographies. The strong ideological background from the 1950s to the end of the GDR in 1989 prevented a straight look at the reality during the emigration and in the case of Hamburger at his torture in the Gulags of the Soviet Union. The first chapter looks at the origin and the education of both architects in Germany, as students of Hans Poelzig and Hermann Jansen; in the case of Paulick at his cooperation with George Muche and as employee for the office of Walter Gropius; in the case of Hamburger at his work as Meisterschüler in the office of Hans Poelzig and others. Both have been members in the 'Gruppe Junger Architekten' (GIA) in the 1920s. Hamburger came to Shanghai as work migrant in 1930 and could not return to Germany because of his Jewish roots after the takeover of the National Socialists in 1933. Hamburger helped Paulick in 1933 to escape to Shanghai, when he had to leave Germany for political reasons. Both further professional careers and their private lives were determined by the takeover of the National Socialists in Germany. This thesis examines the social and political background of both architects during their emigration. Rudolf Hamburger was an important protagonist for the development of modern architecture in Shanghai between 1930 and 1936. Beside his work for the Shanghai Municipal Council Hamburger founded the firm THE MODERN HOME in 1932, transferred to MODERN HOME in 1934 and continued by Paulick between 1937 and 1949 under the name MODERN HOMES. Paulick also played a major role as stage designer in different theatres in Shanghai between 1936 and 1949. As professor for urban planning at the St.John’s University from 1943 to 1949 Paulick introduced the principals of European modernism in this field to the young generation in China. He also played a key role in the urban planning for Greater Shanghai between 1945 and 1949 by introducing the principals of modernism with the concept of organic decentralisation. The difficulties involved in his re-emigration to the USA or Germany between 1947 until his return to the GDR in 1950 are the final part in his case. In the case of Rudolf Hamburger it has to be added that he became active for the secret service of the Soviet army (GRU) in the thirties. Thus he used his activities as architect only to cover all other actions. The emigration to Poland, Switzerland, again China, to the Soviet Union and to Iran (1936–1943) has been in substance defined through these circumstances. With dubious accusations Hamburger was sent to the Gulag in 1943 were he was tortured and only released in 1952. Until 1955 he lived banned in the Ukraine, before he finally returned to the GDR with the help of his friend Richard Paulick.

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.

Urban-ethnographic analysis on gated housing developments of Guadalajara, Mexico. N2 - The Gated Community (GC) phenomenon in Latin American cities has become an inherent element of their urban development, despite academical debate, their approach thrives within the housing market; not surprisingly, as some of the premises on which GCs are based, namely safety, control and supervision intersperse seamlessly with the insecure conditions of the contexts from which they arise. The current security crisis in Mexico, triggered in 2006 by the so-called war on drugs, has reached its peak with the highest insecurity rates in decades, representing a unique chance to study these interactions. Although the leading term of this research, Urban Agoraphobia, implies a causal dichotomy between the rise in the sense of fear amongst citizens and housing confinement as lineal consequence, I acknowledge that GCs represent a complex phenomenon, a hub of diverse factors and multidimensional processes held on four fundamental levels: global, social, individual and state-related. The focus of this dissertation is set on the individual plane and contributes, from the analysis of the GC’s resident’s perspective, experiences and perceptions, to a debate that has usually been limited to the scrutiny of other drivers, disregarding the role of dweller’s underlying fears, motivations and concerns. Assuming that the current ruling security model in Mexico tends to empower its commodification rather than its collective quality, this research draws upon the use of a methodological triangulation, along conceptual and contextual analyses, to test the hypothesis that insecurity plays an increasingly major role, leading citizens into the belief that acquiring a household in a controlled and surveilled community represents a counterweight against the feared environment of the open city. The focus of the analysis lies on the internal hatch of community ties as potential palliative for the provision of a sense of security, aiming to transcend the unidimensional discourse of GCs as defined mainly by their defensive apparatus. Residents’ perspectives acquired through ethnographical analyses may provide the chance to gain an essential view into a phenomenon that further consolidates without a critical study of its actual implications, not only for Mexican cities, but also for the Latin American and global contexts.

The research aims to contribute to the understanding of the "non-hegemonic" versions of Modernity, its territoriality and the productions of geographic imaginaries that they involve. To provide a broad purpose, it raises as an object of study the ways in which "modern" practices, actors, links, discourses and expectations about the territory are mobilized when they are located in a space in "other" water conditions. those that are intended to "civilize" it. The general objective of the research is to analyze time-space controversies around water in the city and valley of Catamarca towards 19th and 20th centuries. The specific objectives derived are a) analyzing how various actors are related to waters behavior - in other words, the local water regime – in Catamarca and the meanings built around it. b) to analyze the controversies about the place of Catamarca and its water regime in the local and national geographic imaginary. c) analyze controversies in which the relationships between actors and materialities involved in modernization projects are put into discussion. These concerns by the experience of the actors and by the historical-spatial imagination of the territory, combined, led to the construction of an interdisciplinary methodology based on tools from anthropology, sociology, geography and history.

In approaching this subject, two major questions are raised: what was the role of ancient Chinese rural clans in the spatial formation of their settlements and, nowadays, do they still play the same role as before? To approach these answers, this dissertation sets out to draw on systematically interdisciplinary research from the perspectives of socio-culture and architecture- planning to have an overall understanding of a Chinese clan organization and clan settlement. Then, the basic characteristics of traditional Chinese clans and their importance to the Chinese people are discussed by tracing the history and evolution of Chinese clan organizations in the dissertation. Two old villages, Furong and Cangpo in now Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, are selected for case study research. And the research reveals that it was the clans that took charge of planning and managing the various construction activities, especially those of communal buildings and facilities, within their own settlements, and the clan lives exerted a decisive impact on shaping the settlement spaces, branding the characteristics of the clan lives clearly and deeply on the spaces. Following that, in the dissertation is described the transformation process of traditional Chinese clans in modern and contemporary China. The clan lives in rural areas have been reshaped and this exerts a great impact on clan settlement spaces. It is shown in the case studies of Furong and Cangpo.

Case Study: Pathok Negoro Area in Yogyakarta, Indonesia N2 - Settlement is human place to live and do various activities (Finch, 1980). Concept of settlement layout is closely associated with human and a set of thoughts and behaviors. In this case, idea of pattern of activities in a society that is core of a culture becomes main factor in process of formation of houses and environment in a settlement. Factors which affecting form (physical) of architecture in a settlement environment are socio-cultural, economic, and religious determinant factor that manifested architectural realization (Rapoport, 1969). Yogyakarta as the continuation of kingdom city in the Java Island finally exists as an Islamic kingdom that still remain to survive up to now. Impacts of this issue is appearance of various Moslem settlements to support typical character of an Islamic Kingdom. Mlangi is an area of oldest Moslem settlements in Yogyakarta has not been explored in details for progress especially in physical glasses recently. Everything basic group and individual who arrange houses and residences, starts from how it has spatial concept alone. Although concept is a very abstract thing to explain in details, but its existence can be detected by how they created their physical environment. This research conducted by these research questions: (1) What are spatial concepts owned by people in Mlangi and (2) How do spatial concepts owned by the people affect the settlements pattern? Process to search spatial concept owned by the people in Moslem residence, making Mlangi as study area, was approached by using phenomenological research method. The researcher have to self-involved directly in unstructured interviews, but remained in guideline framework of in interviews to make research process effective. Fistly, the researcher interviewed the key person, they are the head of Mlangi administration (pak Dukuh) in Mlangi and Sawahan. They were then give advices to who was capable person that could draw the spatial concept and had many story and knew the history of the settlements. Step by step of interview guided from one informant to next informant when the information had been told repeatedly. The next informant based on the last informant advice or who had close relationship with the last theme appeared. To complete the narration and draw the result of interview, researcher have to add additional information with photograph and descriptive picture that can be draw the settlement empirically. In process, 17 information units which found in field were consistent with sequence of interview events and flowing of theme to theme associated with Moslem residence of residence. Finally the interviews succeeded in abstracting 16 themes that may be classified into historic, socio-cultural, and spatial-concept dimensions in Mlangi. Process of analysis to find spatial concept owned by the people in Moslem settlements was carried out by dialogue of themes to find available substantive relationship. Four concepts successfully analyzed consist of concepts of personage, concept of religious implementation, concept of Jero-Jaba and concept of Interest. The four concepts are really associated with one and others in understanding how spatial concept owned by the people affects residence they occupy. Yet, concept of Jero-Jaba bases all concepts of people in Mlangi . This concept can be used to draw red yarn on how they utilize communal spaces in residence and layout rooms of their individual houses. This concept also eternalize residence patterns existing in Mlangi now where residence does not experience many changes from starting of this residence existence (from detection of generation currently still living), namely residence patterns concentrate on orientation to Masjid Pathok Negoro of Mlangi. This research was opening the potential research area, at least for the sociology, anthropology and demography research interest. So many unique character in Mlangi if looked at from how they maintain their spatial concept and manifested in their daily activities. How the people will concern only for the religious activities and the economic concern only for survival aspect in live.

Tracing Transformative Processes in Nicosia’s Buffer Zone. N2 - This thesis examines urban partition in Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, and how its changing roles and shifting perceptions in a post-conflict setting reflect power relations, and their constant renegotiation. Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, was officially divided in 1974 in the aftermath of an eighteen-year-long conflict between the island’s Turkish- and Greek-Cypriot communities. As a result, a heavily militarized Buffer Zone, established as an emergency measure against perpetuation of intercommunal violence, has been cutting through its historic centre ever since. This thesis departs from a genuine interest in the material and ideational dimensions of urban partition. How is it constructed, not merely in physical terms but in the minds of the societies affected by conflict? How is it established in official and everyday discourses? What kinds of mechanisms have been developed to maintain it, and make an inseparable part of the urban experience? Moreover, taking into account the consensus in relevant literature pertaining to the imperative for its removal, this thesis is inquiring into the relevance of peace agreements to overcoming urban partition. For this purpose, it also looks at narratives and practices that have attempted to contest it. The examples examined in this thesis offer pregnant analytical moments to understand Nicosia’s Buffer Zone as a dynamic social construct, accommodating multiple visions of and for the city. Its space ‘in-between’ facilitates encounters between various actors, accommodates new meanings, socio-spatial practices and diverse imaginaries. In this sense, urban partition is explored in this thesis as a phenomenon that transcends scales as well as temporalities, entwining past, present, and future.

Resting upon the basis of traditional continent philosophy, this social space theory has adopted the structuration methods, at the same time trying to build certain combination between theoretical frame work establishment and empirical observations. Therefore, the socio-spatial transition study is neither a macro theory of traditional structuralism nor a typology of urban planning theory, or a positivism social geography, but an operative theory on practical purpose. Firstly, what’s distinct from the traditional structuralism is that this study examines the endless transiting structural relations, not macroscopic narrations of absolute definition and structure. In fact, any city and space are always co-existed in their structurational transiting relationship, thus research in transition has become the main body of this study. And case study is a must for research in transition, as part of efforts to apply the structuration concept into practice reason. Secondly, this study first establishes the fundamental structuration concept of socio-spatial transition, which, as an operative tool, is applied to conduct transition analysis on specific case about the City of Beijing. Therefore, as a social space theory, referring to as science, remains criticism of traditional continent philosophy. However, this criticism did not working on the level of ideology or conceptions, but on transiting under structural relations, keeping it from incompetent ideology criticism of continental critical theory. Unfortunately contemporary urban and space development have now gone extremely unbalanced under a background of globalization; yet traditional macro theories are incapable of either producing significant impact on practice or helping people identify practical problems. While facing general issues, particularly the Chinese urban issue category established on a meta-structured city mode, the micro-case study has plunged into dilemma for unknowing either to ask questions or to answer questions. Therefore, this study is set to identify dilemma and find direction for future relevant research. In this dissertation, Beijing is used as a model, and structuration methods as tools. It has extensively analyzed the social-spatial transition of the city space of Beijing, acquiring brand-new knowledge of its urban space development. It is helpful to an in-depth understanding of the city space development not only in Beijing, but also in many other cities that were influenced by the capital model of Beijing. Since the start of reform and opening-up, China has created a unique development mode of the new-styled metropolitan and urbanization in history. This research is expected to analyze or decode what China’s urban development in between communal space and associative space.

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.

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.
