A much-needed contribution to the literature on the politics of urban development in Toronto since the 1970s, Planning Politics in Toronto challenges popular preconceptions of the OMB's role in Toronto's patterns of growth and change.

Resources and Planning focuses on the trends, approaches, techniques, and emergence of new concepts in geography, as well as the use of models in planning endeavors. The selection first offers information on planning education and practice, including systems models and inner cities dilemma. The book also examines planning processes and mathematical modeling in land use planning. Topics include general assessment and development of urban modeling; extensions and developments of the gravity model; essential dualism of knowledge and action; science and design as problem-solving processes; and pla.

This article offers an overview of neighbourhood-based BIDs (NBIDs) in Sweden. Swedish NBIDs tend to appear in stigmatized residential areas engaging with pressing sets of urban issues that have been longstanding concern of social policy. Their overarching goal is raising property values in neighborhoods on the edge between urban decline and (re)development potential. Emerging in a neoliberalizing institutional context, NBIDs present themselves as correctives to public-policy failures by promoting property-oriented solutions. The adaptation of the BID model in the Swedish 'post-welfare' landscape, however, exhibits, and arguably exacerbates, the shortcomings found in BID elsewhere. Their opaque institutional structure and lack of accountability contribute to curbing democratic influence over local development, thus reinforcing spatial inequalities. We argue that the growing political advocacy for the institutionalization of the BID model in Sweden presents a new milestone in the neoliberalization of urban governance, as private actors are promoted to legitimate co-creators of urban policy.

The boom in short-term rentals in Spain, over the last decade, has put the phenomenon at the center of public debate and has led many municipalities to consider the need to organize or limit them. This article analyzes, through the eyes of jurisprudence, the experiences accumulated in recent years through tourism legislation, local regulation and urban planning. The analysis of the different regulatory instruments, and particularly the examples of Barcelona and Bilbao, allows us to draw some useful conclusions and at the same time propose optimal regulatory solutions to address this phenomenon, making the «right to the city» or the «right to housing» compatible with the freedom to provide services ; El auge de las viviendas turísticas en España, a lo largo de la última década, ha puesto el fenómeno en el centro del debate público y ha llevado a muchos municipios a plantearse la necesidad de ordenarlos o limitarlos. Este artículo analiza, a través de la óptica de la jurisprudencia, las experiencias acumuladas de los últimos años mediante la legislación turística, las ordenanzas municipales y la planificación urbanística. El análisis de los diferentes instrumentos normativos, y singularmente los ejemplos de Barcelona y Bilbao, nos permite extraer algunas conclusiones útiles y al mismo tiempo proponer soluciones normativas óptimas para abordar este fenómeno, compatibilizando el derecho a la ciudad o a una vivienda digna y la libertad de prestación de servicios

Prolongement et infléchissement des travaux sur la théorie de la justice spatiale, cet essaiorganise la rencontre entre un corpus de connaissances issues de la science sociale de l'espace,de la science et de la philosophie politiques et des sciences du psychisme, et cela à partir dedeux entrées. La première consiste à s'appuyer sur les épaules des géants pour mieuxappréhender ce qui a poussé à la dissociation entre le sociale et le psychique et comment onpeut repartir pour étayer cette nouvelle rencontre. La pensée de Durkheim au moment où sefondait la séparation disciplinaire entre la psychologue et la sociologie et la réhabilitation faitepar Elias entre la vie intérieure et le monde externe, nous aident à voir en quoi un nouveaucontexte historique justifie d'appréhender l'individu sans dedans ni dehors.La deuxième porte consiste à utiliser les observations43 collectées par la chercheuse en tantqu'acteur immergé dans la traversée spatio-temporelle de la pandémie du coronavirus SARSCoV-2, événement suffisamment complexe et suffisamment compact pour m'aventurer dans cechantier sans pour autant tomber dans le piège d'énoncés trop vagues. Je pars aussi d'unexercice cartographique représentant les spatialités rêvées par 88 élèves de 4e, Valenciens etconfinés, pour expliciter la puissance expérimentale de dispositifs d'écoute citoyenne au regarddes aspirations habitantes, avec pour objectif la production d'images plus riches d'un projetpolitique de l'habiter.À partir de cette structure, deux directions sont exploitées :celle qui départ des individus pourcomprendre ce qui est en jeux dans le triptyque espace-société-psychisme ;et celle qui départde ces clarifications pour penser la configuration de ce que j'appelle ici environnementhabilitant, c'est-à-dire d'environnements favorables à l'imagination politique de la période etde l'espace post-COVID-19. Cela aboutit aux contours d'une série de grands débats publicsprenant en compte l'épaisseur géographique, politique et psychique du contemporain. ...

Different authors have highlighted the internal existing social differences in cities as a consequence of different economic, social and political forces. The mercantile logic that affects urban spaces incentives the dichotomy winners-losers in the current urban landscape and leads to the differentiation and unequal distribution of certain social groups within the urban space. This clear differentiation in distribution of social groups in the urban space has been called socio-spatial segregation. This concept arises from the urban sociology, the first studies were focused on the differentiation of ethnicity and income level to identify the most vulnerable groups and of mitigate their current situation through different policies. A more significant number of variables belonging to different dimensions (social, economic, political and environmental) have been incorporated into the study of this phenomenon, traditionally addressed by different disciplines such as sociology, geography and anthropology. Nonetheless, few studies have addressed it from a multivariate analysis approach. Moreover, the few existing studies with a multivariate statistical analysis ignored or did not know the compositional nature of their data. The objective of the present study is to apply the compositional data analysis in urban studies to better understand socio-spatial segregation in the different urban contexts. Specifically, the analysis of social-spatial segregation considering the compositional nature of the data in the city of Guadalajara, Mexico, is carried out. Socio-economic and socio-educative variables from census data of approximately 13,520 urban blocks grouped in 395 colonias and seven urban districts are used to carry out this study through the most straightforward compositions of two parts. Additionally, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis are performed to identify the socio-economic distribution within the territory. The analysis is complemented with the use of geographic information systems (GIS) at different urban scales. Based on Aitchison log ratio approach, the results are consistent with the segregation processes that date back to the foundation of the city. Through cluster analysis and principal component analysis, an evident polarization between the Minerva district and the rest of the areas is shown. Moreover, this method allows to analyse complex and multidimensional phenomena such as socio-spatial segregation. ; Peer Reviewed ; Postprint (published version)

This article rescues two proposals by Pedro Paulet from the architectural and urbanistic field at regional scale: a huge building to host settlers and a plan to develop the northern part of Lima with connections to other places of the continent. Both were conceived as gigantic interventions in the territory. Paulet, a versatile man, also contributed to the development of interplanetary travelling, with rocket-powered aircrafts. His spaceship projects and architectural ideas seems audacious. His futuristic vision of space encompassed even the largest scales, with high-tech construction and planning proposals, which also addressed political, social and economic aspects. For all these reasons, his initiatives help to understand the modernizing projects in Peru and America in the 1920s and 1930s. ; El presente artículo rescata, de la obra de Pedro Paulet, dos propuestas inscritas en el campo arquitectónico y urbanístico de escala regional: un enorme edificio para albergar colo­nos y un plan para urbanizar el norte de Lima, con conexiones a otros lugares del continente. Ambas fueron concebidas como gigantescas intervenciones en el territorio. Paulet, personaje multifacético, contribuyó también con sus ideas al desarrollo de los viajes interplanetarios, mediante aviones impulsados por cohetes. Tanto sus proyectos de naves espaciales como sus ideas arquitectónicas resultan audaces. Su visión futurista del espacio abarcaba las más grandes escalas, con propuestas de construcción y planificación de alta tecnología, que además abordaban aspectos políticos, sociales y económicos. Por todo esto, sus iniciativas permiten comprender las preocupaciones que atravesaron los proyectos modernizadores del Perú y de América en las décadas de 1920 y 1930.

International audience ; Depuis une dizaine d'années environ, le champ des objets dits « connectés » (à Internet) a fait son chemin dans notre quotidien (domotique, wearables, etc.). Fréquemment qualifiés « d'intelligents », ces derniers se situent à l'intrication du design produit et de la programmation. Pourtant, alors que le vocabulaire de l'intelligence et de la connexion semble impliquer des valeurs d'objectivation et de partage, les objets qui sont désignés sous ce terme se caractérisent trop souvent par le fait que leur « centre de commande » (Gilbert Simondon) est en fait une « boîte noire » où « l'individu devient seulement le spectateur des résultats du fonctionnement des machines » (Gilbert Simondon). Reliés à des « applications » numériques, les objets « connectés » ne semblent exister que parce qu'il est loisible de les fabriquer – comme le montre avec ironie le compte Twitter Internet of Shit ou des séries comme Black Mirror qui dénoncent leurs problèmes de sécurisation et d'obsolescence de ces produits (Tristan Nitot, Mathias Rollot).Dès lors, comment penser des démarches de design qui ne se contentent pas d'explorer de nouveaux « possibles » technologiques juste parce qu'ils existent ? À rebours d'une technique instrumentalisée, nous souhaitons, dans cette communication, examiner des directions de travail plus soutenables permettant de ‹ ménager des espaces de liberté › et de multiplier ce faisant les occasions de pilotage ou d'orientation (Norbert Wiener, Michel Foucault) permettant à chacun de compter pour soi » (Pierre-Damien Huyghe). Nous nous demanderons alors s'il est envisageable de qualifier ce travail de « post-numérique » (terme qui, chez Grégory Chatonsky, désigne un mouvement artistique), au sens où le numérique, désormais partout (Lev Manovich), est devenu un « milieu technique » qui reconfigure d'autant insidieusement plus notre quotidien que ses enjeux sociopoliques sont laissés sous silence dans les promesses des discours marketing (Evgeny Morozov). Une telle initiative implique une visée politique du design (William Morris, Annick Lantenois, Alessandro Mendini), à même de dégager des modes de négociation et de co-construction permettant d'habiter collectivement notre époque.

This paper addresses the environmental, legal and housing disputes that converge in the environmental reserve located at the Cerros Orientales (eastern hills) of Bogota. The socio-urban logic of the city -linked to pirate developments and invasion-, the migration flows -emphasized by the armed conflict- and the lack of definition of a clear public policy for the last 30 years, has led to a conflict between residents, civil environmental protection organizations, private companies and public institutions in which almost only specific judgments have interceded. This paper duly reflects -through secondary sources- those considered main government initiatives and actions implemented with a top-down approach and it investigates -through primary sources collected in the neighborhood La Cecilia- the bottom-up community action initiatives and territorial perceptions, looking into the sterile dialogue processes between these two ways of making a city. ; Este trabajo aborda las controversias medioambientales, jurídicas y habitacionales que confluyen en el área de reserva medioambiental de los Cerros Orientales de Bogotá. La lógica socio-urbanística de la ciudad -ligada a las urbanizaciones piratas y la invasión-; los movimientos migratorios -acentuados por el conflicto armado- y la falta de definición de una política pública clara en los últimos 30 años, ha desembocado en un conflicto entre pobladores, organizaciones civiles de defensa del medioambiente, empresas privadas e instituciones públicas, mediados casi exclusivamente por resoluciones judiciales puntuales. Este trabajo recoge -a través de fuentes secundarias- las que se consideran principales iniciativas y acciones de gobierno impartidas de arriba a abajo (Top Down) e investiga -a través de fuentes primarias recogidas en el barrio La Cecilia-, las percepciones territoriales e iniciativas de acción comunitaria de abajo a arriba (Bottom up), indagando en los estériles procesos de diálogo entre estas dos formas de hacer ciudad.This paper addresses the environmental, legal and housing disputes that converge in the environmental reserve located at the Cerros Orientales (eastern hills) of Bogota.
