This toolkit has been developed during the implementation of Urban Green Belts (UGB) project (Interreg, Central Europe) which main objective was to improve planning, management and decision-making capacities of the public sector related to urban green spaces, thus creating integrated sustainable UGS planning and management systems. Special attention was given to functional urban areas (FUA), a functional economic unit characterised by densely inhabited “urban cores” and “hinterlands” whose labour market is highly integrated with the cores. Following a comparative situation analysis, the partners jointly designed innovative methods and tools to facilitate sustainable UGS management. Presented toolkit has been primarily developed as a Model for a Community Involvement. The presented methods and tools for community building were tested in three pilot studies conducted in Maribor (Slovenia), Krakow (Poland), and Budapest (Hungary). Priročnik je bil izdelan med izvajanjem projekta Urbane zelene površine (UGB) v okviru programa Interreg, Srednja Evropa, katerega glavni cilj je bil izboljšati zmogljivosti javnega sektorja na področju načrtovanja, upravljanja in odločanja, povezanega z urbanimi zelenimi površinami (UZP), ter na ta način ustvariti celostne trajnostne sisteme za načrtovanje in upravljanje UZP. Posebna pozornost je bila namenjena funkcionalnim urbanim območjem (FUO), funkcionalnim ekonomskim enotam, za katere so značilna gosto poseljena »urbana jedra« in »zaledja«, v katerih je trg dela močno povezan z jedri. Na podlagi primerjalne analize stanja so projektni partnerji skupaj zasnovali inovativne metode in orodja za spodbujanje trajnostnega upravljanja UZP. Predstavljeni priročnik je bil razvit predvsem kot model za vključevanje skupnosti. Predstavljene metode in orodja za izgradnjo skupnosti so bile preizkušene znotraj treh pilotnih območji, opravljenih v Mariboru (Slovenija), Krakovu (Poljska) in Budimpešti (Madžarska).

Mainstream notions of the “American Dream” usually revolve around the ownership of private property, a house of one’s own. Yet for the past 400 years, a large number of Americans have dared to dream bigger and bolder, choosing to live in intentional communities that pooled resources, and they worked to ensure the well-being of all their members. American Community takes us inside forty of the most interesting intentional communities in the nation’s history, from the colonial era to the present day. You will learn about such little-known experiments in cooperative living as the Icarian communities, which took the utopian ideas expounded in a 1840 French novel and put them into practice, ultimately spreading to five states over fifty years. Plus, it covers more recent communities such as Arizona’s Arcosanti, designed by architect Paolo Soleri as a model for ecologically sustainable living. In this provocative and engaging book, Mark Ferrara guides readers through an array of intentional communities that boldly challenged capitalist economic arrangements in order to attain ideals of harmony, equality, and social justice. By shining a light on these forgotten histories, it shows that far from being foreign concepts, communitarianism and socialism have always been vital parts of the American experience.

Leegstond is enerzijds het resultaat van zes jaar praktijkervaring, opgebouwd met tijdelijke projecten waaronder Allee Du Kaai, Biestebroek en Marie Moskou, en anderzijds het resultaat van vier jaar intensief opzoekingswerk rond leegstand in heel België. Het boek toont de enorme variëteit van tijdelijk gebruik en de complexiteit van het beleid en regelgeving. Het dient als leidraad voor actie en als inspiratiebron voor zowel nieuwe projecten en organisaties als het beleid.Onze steden groeien vandaag opnieuw na jaren leegloop. Dat daagt overheden uit op het gebied van ruimtelijke planning. Terwijl de bevolking toeneemt, wordt de ruimte schaarser en de planning van de stad trager. Tegelijkertijd kenmerkt leegdstand onze steden. Verlammende procedures, overheden aan de afgrond van faillissement en speculatie van private eigenaars resulteren in steeds meer ruimte in een 'wachttijd' tussen vorig en toekomstig gebruik. Deze situatie maakte de weg vrij voor het tijdelijk inpalmen van leegstaande ruimtes. Burgers nemen bij gebrek aan overheidsinitiatief het heft in eigen handen en vestigen zich met de meest uiteenlopende initiatieven tijdelijk in onbenutte of verwaarlossde plekken. Ze richten moestuinen, buurtcafés en artistieke ateliers op en maken de stad levend op plaatsen die anders verder verkommeren. Zo vestigen ze de aandacht op actuele noden en behoeften, en vullen ze die zelf in vooraleer een overheid dit kan doen. Dit boek is voor wie zich verder wil verdiepen in het probleem en het potentieel van leegstand. Het is een handleiding voor wie zelf aan de slag wil gaan en panden, ruimtes en andere leegstaande locaties wil inrichten voor tijdelijk gebruik. Het toont de enorme variëteit van tijdelijk gebruik en de complexiteit van het beleid en regelgeving. Het biedt een antwoord op veel van de vragen en obstakels bij het heractiveren van leegstaande panden.

The school of thought surrounding the urban ecosystem has increasingly become in vogue among researchers worldwide. Since half of the world’s population lives in cities, urban ecosystem services have become essential to human health and wellbeing. Rapid urban growth has forced sustainable urban developers to rethink important steps by updating and, to some degree, recreating the human–ecosystem service linkage. Assessing, as well as estimating the losses of ecosystem services can denote the essential effects of urbanization and increasingly indicate where cities fall short. This book contains 13 thoroughly refereed contributions published within the Special Issue “Urban Ecosystem Services”. The book addresses topics such as nature-based solutions, green space planning, green infrastructure, rain gardens, climate change, and more. The contributions highlight new findings for landscape architects, urban planners, and policymakers. Important future cities research is considered by looking at the system connectivity between the social and ecological sphere—via varying forms of urban planning, management, and governance. The book is supported by methods and models that utilize an urban sustainability and ecosystem service-centric focus by adding knowledge-base and real-world solutions into the urbanization phenomenon.
