"How were the concepts of the observer and user in architecture and urban planning transformed throughout the 20th and 21st centuries? Marianna Charitonidou explores how the mutations of the means of representation in architecture and urban planning relate to the significance of city's inhabitants. She investigates Le Corbusier and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's fascination with perspective, Team Ten's interest in the humanisation of architecture and urbanism, Constantinos Doxiadis and Adriano Olivetti's role in reshaping the relationship between politics and urban planning during the postwar years, Giancarlo De Carlo's architecture of participation, Aldo Rossi's design methods, Denise Scott Brown's active socioplactics and Bernard Tschumi's conception praxis"-- Provided by publisher.

Stadtentwicklung für alle Mischung: Possible! bietet Basiswissen über die Implementierung von Nutzungsmischung im konkreten Anwendungsfall einer Stadtteilentwicklung. Das Buch basiert auf einer vierjährigen experimentellen Intervention zur nachhaltigen innerstädtischen Stadtteilentwicklung durch Nutzungsmischung auf dem Areal des ehemaligen Nordbahnhofs, eines der größten Entwicklungsgebiete Wiens. Die Umsetzung der Nutzungsmischung beinhaltet die Szenarien Mobilität, Sorge- und Pflegearbeit, Nullemission, Sharing, kreative Cluster, Fair Business, vernetzte Dienstleistungen und urbane Produktion. Die Ziele sind sowohl der kollektive und individuelle Mehrwert für die Nutzer:innen als auch die Schaffung innovativer Gebäudemaßnahmen im „Stadtsockel“ für eine langfristige Nutzungsmischung: Vorbilder für eine nachhaltige Stadtplanung. Vademecum für Stadtteilentwickler:innen Vorbilder für urbanen Nutzungsmix Studie der TU Wien mit namhaften Partnern Urban development for all Mischung: Possible! offers basic knowledge on mixed-use planning based on a case study of an urban development project. The book draws on a four-year experimental study of sustainable mixed-use inner-city district development at the site of the former Nordbahnhof railway station, one of Vienna’s largest development areas. The mixed-use scenarios include mobility, care work, zero emissions, the sharing economy, creative clusters, “fair business,” networked services, and urban manufacturing. The goals are to deliver both collective and individual added value for users and to develop innovative buildings in an “urban base” for a long-term mixture of uses. This showcases best practice in sustainable urban planning. A reference work for district developers Best practice for urban mixed-use development Study conducted by the Technical University Vienna with several well-known partners

This report aims to advance the understanding of how to improve urban mobility in cities in SSA through building incrementally on the existing paratransit sector, informed by innovative data techniques and data-driven diagnostics. It is based on assessments of paratransit undertaken in Gaborone and Maseru, the capital cities and main economic centers of Botswana and Lesotho respectively; and aims to identity short-term, practical initiatives to improve mobility in these cities. This report summarizes the outcome of an in-field data collection in the project cities; documents paratransit sector assessment to deepen the understanding of mobility demand, constraints and conditions, and the operating environment and issues faced by the paratransit sector within the cities of Maseru and Gaborone; and proposes recommendations in policy, regulations, infrastructure and services in consideration of the local context.

The paper explores the properties of a modern urban model in which households' and firms' locations in the city are endogenously determined as functions of technology, preferences, and geography. This class of model provides insights into the factors that determine the shape and growth of cities. The paper increases understanding by studying the comparative static properties of the model, the effects of various policy interventions, and the circumstances under which different possible city types (mono- versus poly-centric) arise. It is a step to tailoring model structure to adequately describe real world cities of different sizes and types.
