city / town planning

Eminent domain (United Statesthe Philippines), compulsory purchase (United KingdomNew ZealandIreland), resumption (Hong Kong), resumption/compulsory acquisition(Australia), or expropriation (FranceMexicoSouth AfricaCanadaBrazil) is the power of a state or a national government to take private property for public use. However, it can be legislatively delegated by the state to municipalities, government subdivisions, or even to private persons or corporations, when they are authorized to exercise the functions of public character.[1] The property may be taken either for government use or by delegation to third parties, who will devote it to public or civic use or, in some cases, to economic development. The most common uses of property taken by eminent domain are for government buildings and other facilities, public utilities, highways and railroads, or for public safety. Some jurisdictions require that the acquirer make an offer to purchase the subject property, before resorting to the use of eminent domain.

Faubourg (pronounced [fo.buːʁ]) is an ancient French term approximating "suburb" (now generally termed banlieue). The earliest form is Forsbourg, derived from Latin foris, 'out of', and Vulgar Latin (originally Germanic) burgum, 'town' or 'fortress'. Traditionally, this name was given to an agglomeration forming around a throughway leading outwards from a city gate, and usually took the name of the same thoroughfare within the city. As cities were often located atop hills (for defensive purposes), their outlying communities were frequently lower down. Many faubourgs were located below their towns, and the term "suburbs" is derived from this tendency (sub = below; urbs urbis = city). Faubourgs are often considered the predecessor of European suburbs, into which they evolved generally in the 1950s and 1960s. Although early suburbs still conserved some characteristics related to faubourgs (such as the back alleys with doors, little break margins for houses, etc.), later suburbs underwent major changes in their construction, primarily in terms of residential density. Beside many French cities, the places faubourgs can still be found outside Europe include the province of Quebec in Canada and the city of New OrleansLouisiana. The cities of Quebec and Montreal contain examples, although Montreal has far greater divergences in terms of "banlieue," which lead to similarities of many Ontarian and American suburbs.

urbanism
- [situationist international] french word urbanisme usually means city planning, but it also refers to the general policy and ideology of urban development. City planning as a society's field of publicity-propaganda. Unitary urbanism - a living critique (setting up bases for an experimental life where people can come together to create their own lives on terrains equipped to their ends) of manipulation of cities and their inhabitants, a critique fueled by all the tensions of everyday life.  It is the contrary of a specialised activity. The basic practice of the theory of unitary urbanism will be the transcription of the whole theoretical lie of urbanism, detrourned for these purpose of de-alienation. 

New Urbanism is an urban design movement which promotes environmentally friendly habits by creating walkable neighborhoods containing a wide range of housing and job types.[1] It arose in the United States in the early 1980s, and has gradually influenced many aspects of real estate developmenturban planning, and municipal land-use strategies. New Urbanism is strongly influenced by urban design practices that were prominent until the rise of the automobile prior to World War II; it encompasses ten basic principles such as traditional neighborhood design (TND) and transit-oriented development (TOD).[2] These ideas can all be circled back to two concepts: building a sense of community and the development of ecological practices.

薛求理在《城境:香港建築1946-2011》指出,其實香港很早就開始參考蘇格蘭的坎伯諾爾德、瑞典的魏林比等城市的做法,所謂高城區隔就是我們今日常說的地鐵上蓋開發。沙田站的確是一個好例子,地鐵上方即是新城市廣場,一出商場就可見酒店、大會堂、辦公樓、住宅匯聚一堂。而九龍站上層的環球貿易廣場樓高一百一十八層,香港站上蓋國際金融中心則是全港第二高,儘管類似的高度後來由於保護山巒輪廓等考慮,二○○八年後城市規劃委員會不再批准,但它們的確極力顯示了自由上升、空間增多的可能性。這類空間不僅上下連接搭配,在平面上更是四通八達,九龍灣站就是如此,除了商場、平台可自由穿行,周圍的人行天橋連接了附近多個居住區和辦公區。且屋頂平台供人行、駐車,也分布了商店和其他公共服務設施,空間獲得延展,可利用面積大幅增加。

隨着在家工作的人愈來愈多,將顛覆都市發展方向。環顧全球,過去繁忙、商業高樓林立的都市因疫情影響,上班族轉為在家工作,返工人口大減,商廈大樓閒置,附近的經濟活動隨之減少。專家認為,這將改變包括東京、倫敦及紐約等「金融大都會」的規劃方向,從交通建設到建築設計料走向更可持續發展的「環保方向」,讓城市變得「宜居」。或許,香港也會踏上相同的路上。https://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/finance/20201003/00202_010.html

  • William Hollingsworth "Holly" Whyte (October 1, 1917 – January 12, 1999) was an American urbanist, organizational analyst, journalist and people-watcher. After his book about corporate culture The Organization Man (1956) which sold over two million copies, Whyte turned his attention to the study of human behaviour in urban settings. He published several books on the topic, including The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces (1980). Whyte was born in West Chester, Pennsylvania in 1917. An early graduate of St. Andrew's School in Middletown, Delaware, he graduated from Princeton University in 1939 and then served in Marine Corps between 1941-45. In 1946 he joined Fortune magazine where he remained until 1958. In 1952, Whyte coined the term "Groupthink":[3] Groupthink being a coinage - and, admittedly, a loaded one - a working definition is in order. We are not talking about mere instinctive conformity - it is, after all, a perennial failing of mankind. What we are talking about is a rationalized conformity - an open, articulate philosophy which holds that group values are not only expedient but right and good as well. Whyte wrote a 1956 bestseller titled The Organization Man[4] after Fortune Magazine sponsored him to do extensive interviews on the CEOs of corporations such as General Electric and FordWhile working with the New York City Planning Commission in 1969, Whyte began to use direct observation to describe behavior in urban settings. With research assistants wielding still cameras, movie cameras, and notebooks, Whyte described the substance of urban public life in an objective and measurable way. These observations developed into the "Street Life Project", an ongoing study of pedestrian behavior and city dynamics, and eventually to Whyte's book called City: Rediscovering the Center (1988). "City" presents Whyte's conclusions about jaywalking, 'schmoozing patterns,' the actual use of urban plazas, appropriate sidewalk width, and other issues. This work remains valuable because it is based on careful observation, and because it contradicts other conventional wisdom, for instance, the idea that pedestrian traffic and auto traffic should be separated. Whyte along with Project for Public Spaces worked closely on the renovation of Bryant Park in New York City.

green activism
- green guerilla movement

  •  founded in New York in 1973 when Liz Christy promoted the seed grenade. It was the beginning of green activism, spun off like street art into the concept of guerrilla gardening to reconquer privatized public spaces.New York in the 1970s and meet Liz Christy and her Green Guerillas group, who took to beautifying crumbling Manhattan neighborhoods by tossing "seed grenades" into abandoned lots. The first seed grenades, a term coined by Christy, were made from controversial ingredients: condoms filled with local wildflower seeds, water, and fertilizer. They were thrown over fences onto New York City's wastelands in order to "green up" neglected urban land. Seed bombing, as it's known today, is definitely punk, but it's also a cheap and effective way for you, me, and everyone we know to transform an eyesore into a resource. The seed bomb growing method has been practiced globally for centuries. The idea germinated in Japan with the ancient practice of "tsuchi dango," which translates as "earth dumpling." The idea was re-invented in the 20th Century by the Japanese farmer and philosopher, Masanobu Fukuoka, an advocate of Do-Nothing Farming and author of the classic, "One-Straw Revolution."https://www.organicconsumers.org/news/pimp-pavement-brief-history-seedbombing, also http://www.makery.info/en/2015/05/05/bricole-it-yourself-la-bombe-a-graine/

Sri Ganganagar is one of the first well-planned modern cities of India; it is said to be influenced by the town planning of Paris. It is divided into residential blocks and a commercial area which includes Dhan Mandi (agricultural marketplace).nt started with wild flowering campaigns, before occupying an uncultivated field to transform it into a shared garden. Since then, guerrilla gardeners have spawned all over the world, especially in the U.S. and the UK, although the Guerrilla Gardening France community is also active. founded in New York in 1973 when Liz Christy promoted the seed grenade.
