Abstract

Seventy years of revolution and turmoil have had a severe impact on the miraculous ancient urban form of Beijing, but economic growth since the early 1990s has threatened to deal the coup de grace. In Rehabilitating the Old City of Beijing, Wu Liangyong presents an impassioned plea to turn the tide of demolition and offers a new direction for the planning and development of China's capital. Wu, a student and colleague of China's first architectural historian, Liang Sicheng, is a champion of the human-scaled development and a voice for conservation. But above all, he is an architect, and it is through his own projects, built and unbuilt, that he advocates a more humane vision of the city. Wu's project for the renewal of the Ju'er Hutong (Chrysanthemum Lane) neighbourhood in the heart of Beijing's Old City takes pride of place in this book. A thoughtful analysis of those aspects of the ancient capital's features, which the project aims to respect and conserve, is followed by a detailed account of the design and development process of the project itself. Architectural drawings and photographs of the completed project, and data on the neighbourhood's resident population present the state of the art in Chinese residential design and planning -- a field that is deeply challenged by reforms sweeping through the entire economy and society of the country. Urban historians, conservationists, planners, and architectural scholars and practitioners interested in Chinese cities, or in any of the world's great capitals, will want to read this book.

Abstract

In the decade of the end of the war, the theme of the reconciliation of the Lebanese structures political discourse and serves to justify major planning actions, as well as individual or collective strategies. Even more than the end of the fighting, the promise of a new era of coexistence and prosperity legitimizes ambitious reconstruction projects. In return, the construction of equipment and infrastructure, the resumption of development dynamics, as well as the rehabilitation of the living environment are supposed to promote reconciliation. This CERMOC book is the result of research and reflections by a team of anthropologists, geographers, sociologists, political scientists and town planners, led by Eric Huybrechts, head of the Beirut and Reconstruction Research Observatory. , and Chawqi Douayhi, professor at the Lebanese University. The authors have identified and studied various representative places of reconstruction and reconciliation, chosen either for their originality or from particular angles: the reconstruction of the villages around Saïda, the new political and social balance between Tripoli and Zgorta in through the study of the space of the Lebanese University in Qobbé, the social mix on the Corniche and in the commercial centres of Beirut, the forgetting of the old line of fighting in the reconstruction of Beirut and its suburbs, etc. . Several readings can be made of these recompositions: a normalization of social relations, the resumption of metropolitan and globalizing dynamics, a complexification of society, or even the continuation of the political struggle by means other than war.

Abstract

This book is a study of design initiatives and policies in five US West Coast cities — Seattle (including Bellevue), Portland, San Francisco, Irvine and San Diego—all of which have had particularly interesting urban design experience of relevance to practice in Britain and other countries. Although these cities are not a representative sample of all American design practice, they provide a rich vein of ideas about recent policy development and current initiatives which will stimulate thought about the formulation of effective design controls. The presentation of substantial extracts from key documents that underpin design controls in the five cities will be of interest, inspiration and practical use to academics and practitioners who want to know more about American practice and who want to contribute to improvements in the standards and quality of urban design policies and design control. The opening chapter provides a national context and a comparative framework for the study, with a focus on international perspectives, American planning systems and the development of criteria for comparison and evaluation. The five subsequent chapters take each city in turn, briefly reviewing the salient characteristics of each one before presenting an account of how planning and design policy have evolved in the last twenty-five years; key features of the contemporary systems of design control are highlighted and a summary evaluation is made. The focus in the case studies is on how policy and guidance have been formulated, structured and presented in the various documents that make up the policy framework, how the process of control operates, and how both respond to the criticisms commonly made of design and control. This final chapter draws general conclusions about the experience of the studied cities of wider relevance to American design review practice, but which are of interest to those engaged in design review and policy formulation everywhere.
