Book of abstracts : 35th AESOP Annual Congress Integrated planning in a world of turbulence, Łódź, Poland 11-15. 07. 2023
(AESOP, 2023) Pielesiak, Iwona; Leśniewska-Napierała, Katarzyna
The modern world is struggling with the growing civilization challenges related to the effects of climate change, the progressive degradation of the natural environment, migrations resulting from economic crises and political tensions, as well as shortening product life cycles, automation, and autonomy of management processes. It is becoming increasingly difficult to predict development processes, phenomena, and events, as evidenced by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019. In the realm of contemporary challenges, the imperative for integrated planning becomes all the more pronounced, especially in the face of a world characterized by turbulence. The pertinence of existing planning methodologies, rooted in long-term strategic visions aimed at fostering stable societal development, prompts an inquiry into their efficacy and legitimacy. This scrutiny becomes particularly crucial when juxtaposed against the multifaceted planning challenges posed by the pervasive uncertainty of events, risks, and the interplay of anthropogenic and natural hazards. Therefore integrated planning emerges as a compelling alternative, addressing the spatial, sustainability, environmental, and values dimensions. Navigating the complexities of contemporary challenges requires a departure from conventional norms, urging a paradigm shift towards adaptive and innovative strategies that resonate with the uncertainties of our time. The Congress provided a room for a wide scope of discussion on planning and attracted an attention of the academic community from all over the world and, as a result of this interest, 769 papers were submitted to the Congress. Finally 593 papers have been accepted for an oral presentation within 17 Congress Tracks, 38 submissions for Poster session and 62 for on-line presentation. About 85% of these submissions were written by authors from AESOP-member schools. This Book of Abstracts presents contributions submitted at the AESOP 2023 Annual Congress in Lodz.

A comparative product analysis of online and face-to-face basic design education
(AESOP, 2023) Eren, Şirin Gülcen; Uluç Keçik, Aynur; Ala, Ebru
The first year of education in the city and regional planning discipline focuses on one on one and face to face basic design education, primarily conducted through planning studios I II. Assignments are given to freshmen to enhance their urban planning and design knowledge, perspectives, design thinking, creative thinking, and design judgments. The COVID 19 Pandemic and the 2023 Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes occurred successively, resulting in a significant shift towards online university education. Course instructors and administrations had to amend education methodologies, materials, and course contents accordingly. The aims and objectives of design courses were fulfilled through various digitalized learning systems and programs. However, the quality of the design products declined during this period. Therefore, this study aims to compare the basic design outputs of students in the online courses of 2020 2021 and the face-to-face courses of 2022 2023 fall term planning studios at Süleyman Demirel University in Isparta, Turkey. The purpose is to determine the effectiveness of different education methodologies in basic design education and assess the outcomes in terms of quality and performance. Assignments from both online and face to face courses will be compared to evaluate the impacts of online education on students' learning and creativity. This research is exploratory in nature and employs a comparative analysis of two fall term final assignments (The Shell Project), assessing their level of meeting 16 design requirements. The evaluation of the study was conducted based on the grades of the submission, final grades, and course success grades and averages. The research presented shows an increase in the design quality of assignments in face-to-face education. This improvement is attributed to enhancements in meeting course requirements, the interactive nature of the courses, and changes in implementation processes. Additionally, there was a higher level of interaction with students, and their processes. Additionally, there was a higher level of interaction with students, and their efforts to learn and actively participate in the course were accelerated. The outcomes of efforts to learn and actively participate in the course were accelerated. The outcomes of this research are expected to provide valuable insights for lecturers and academic staff this research are expected to provide valuable insights for lecturers and academic staff involved in first involved in first--year planning studios. It will assist them in the development of course year planning studios. It will assist them in the development of course curricula, methodologies, and the preparation and delivery of design education for curricula, methodologies, and the preparation and delivery of design education for teaching the visual language teaching the visual language.

A study on the urban structural characteristics of central living street for population density management: through comparative analysis of natural origin and planning center
(AESOP, 2023) Kim, Minseo; Kwon, Youngsang
The city road plays an important role in urban space as a space where daily life and various activities take place. However, in this space, population density management is important in terms of infectious disease management and urban revitalization at the same time as areas where a large population is active. By comparing actual urban user data (POI), urban structural spatial characteristics, and floating population data, we intend to derive the characteristics of urban space in which actual users are active. The above study is of important significance in urban risk management by studying the relationship between the morphological structure of urban streets and the urban center. POI-intensive areas were selected for the entire Seoul Metropolitan Government to compare the urban structural differences between naturally occurring cities and planned centers through POI. Among the POI concentrated areas, Eulji-ro was the naturally occurring city, and Seolleung was selected as the planning center. POI data was visualized through GIS based on 2022 data, using a public data portal provided by the government. This study is basically based on multiple regression analysis. By setting the indicators of spatial syntax as major independent variables and POI-related variables as dependent variables, we would like to find out the impact of the physical structure of the city on people's behavior patterns. As a result, many POIs were located in areas with high integration and connection, and the back street was found to be a POI-intensive area. The degree of integration of the naturally occurring area (Eulji-ro) was correlated with integration only in 800M units, and for the central street with high integration and connection, the back street with low integration and high connection compared to the central street was POI dense. Through this study, it provides an analysis framework for urban planning and location preferences in compact urban centers. In addition, the planning effect was proved through an empirical analysis between the urban center and the pedestrian-centered urban plan. This can suggest a planning direction when creating a walking environment through the development or redevelopment of a new city in the future.

The impact of urban street canyon morphology on the microclimate environment: the case of the representative business districts in Seoul, Korea
(AESOP, 2023) Lee, Seungjae; Kwon, Younhsang
As urbanization progresses worldwide, high density development emerges around major cities. Korea, with an 81.9% urbanization rate (2021), is no exception, especially in Seoul. The central and Gangnam districts have strong street canyon features due to complex land surfaces, urban morphology, and heavy transportation. These factors, combined with polluted traffic emissions, threaten urban residents' thermal and pollutant exposure. Understanding vulnerable areas in terms of microclimate and ventilation is vital for livability, sustainability, and resilience in urban planning. Using Ladybug & Dragonfly in Rhino's Grasshopper, we analyzed the correlation between street canyon morphology, microclimate, and the urban heat island index. The study focuses on the geometric characteristics of urban spaces, particularly high-rise buildings and roads forming street canyons, and their impact on microclimate (thermal comfort). The findings contribute to effective management, fostering sustainable urban forms and redeveloping street spaces with consideration for the microclimate environment.

Teaching a new mixed method in spatial case selection through depoliticize of planning. Case study: less developed regions
(AESOP, 2023) Niazkhani, Samaneh
Urban planning is an inherently political activity, Therefore, political science approaches are included in it; But this does not always have positive synergistic results of the cooperation of different disciplines in interdisciplinary; Especially in researches that focus on evaluation of plans and in important steps such as sampling, politicians' interventions have a bad effect; Because the quality and correct selection of samples has an undeniable effect on the generalizability of the research. So, it should be controlled by the researcher. In this research, we will introduce a mixed method in spatial case selection among less developed regions(provinces), while helping to improve the validity and reliability of the research, it will remove the shadow of political interference and bias in sampling. In line with the scope of the research, which is the less developed regions of Iran, sampling has been done. The sampling results in this research, show that the selected provinces from each cluster promote geographical and spatial contiguity with their previous (less developed) cluster, a matter that was expected to happen due to the isotropic property of spatial development.

The beauty of transition: aesthetics and innovation in strategic urban transition projects: experiences from classroom
(AESOP, 2023) Ache, Peter
The challenge of transition to a new more resilient and sustainable urban age is huge. Collectively, in our modern lifestyle as ‘urbanites’ we consume environmental services to an extent which matches several planets in scale. In diverse institutional settings, these challenges are constantly debated and looked at, with a view to possible solutions. Most of this, still, stays on the level of paper. But how do we generate the urgently needed concrete actions and changes? Especially, how do we evoke on the level of the individual energy and commitment as the basis of a potential system change? As difficult as this may be, instead of devising new ‘big plans’ (Burnham) the paper suggests developing ‘beautiful’ plans, projects, ideas to stir the affects of citizens. Within the environment of a MA course in spatial planning at Radboud University (Nijmegen), the beauty of transition was further explored.

Comparing community engagement in planning education and co-creation in higher education: a literature review
(AESOP, 2023) Weng Lu, Yen An; Chang, Hsiutzu Betty
Higher education has recently started to adopt co creation design methods to foster active learning. However, long before this trend, planning education had already been using teaching methods such as studios that incorporate community participation to reap the benefits of teacher student co creation. This study explored the similarities and differences between teacher student co creation in higher education and community-based planning education in several aspects: research purpose, theoretical concept, methodology, and pedagogy. A literature map was produced according to the findings. Compared with higher education, community-based planning education focuses more on interdisciplinary collaboration and deals with more uncertainty in the face of complex issues. There is a need for further research on teacher student interaction from the perspective of students.

Overcoming challenges in delivering community engaged learning for planning students in third-level education
(AESOP, 2023) Fitzsimons, Jeanette
Community Engaged Learning (CEL) provides real world experiences where students can grapple with the complexities of the world while developing their planning skills and competencies, before pursuing their professional careers. For the teacher, CEL is time consuming, involves liaison with many stakeholders, and requires preparation and planning. Students can be daunted by the prospect of interacting with stakeholders and engaging in a professional manner with community groups. No longer an intellectual exercise in the comfort of the classroom; the student must embody the attributes of a planner in a real world setting. Despite the challenges, CEL can be a significant but rewarding undertaking for students, teachers and communities, which can result in impactful rewards for all.

The distribution, causes and governance of urban shrinkage in China
(AESOP, 2023) Zhao, Qian
Abstract: The spatial distribution of shrinking cities shows a trend of spreading from local to global, and shrinking has gradually become the new normal of urban spatial evolution. From 2000-2010 to 2010-2020, the agglomeration area of urban shrinking in China migrates from the central region to the northeast, and the population spilover of shrinking towns decreases in a circular pattern. By collecting the data of the last three population censuses and using qualitative, quantitative and questionnaire interview methods, we find out the factors closely related to the phenomenon of urban shrinking, such as geographical location, population structure, urban industrial power, employment positions, public service supply, etc. In response to geographical location and population structure factors, governance strategies are put forward from the perspective of rational formulation of population development policies.

The significance and practice of ecological agricultural complex construction in the protection of traditional villages and cultural inheritance
(AESOP, 2023) Zhao, Qian; Huang, Xiaowen
The development of China's ancient agricultural civilization formed traditional villages and unique agricultural culture. Traditional villages carry China's long history and extensive regional culture. With the development of China's economy and cultural level, the protection of traditional villages and the inheritance of agricultural culture have been increasingly valued by society, and various regions are exploring traditional village protection practices based on the reality of traditional villages. Due to the complexity of the geographic environment, ethnic diversity, and cultural fusion and evolution, traditional villages in Yunnan Province, China have distinct regional and ethnic characteristics, forming world cultural heritage sites such as the Yuanyang Hani Rice Terraces and the Jianshui Ancient City. The protection of traditional villages in Yunnan should be based on the actual development needs of traditional villages, comprehensively considering the restoration and development of traditional village agricultural ecological environments, relying on innovative planning ideas and advanced technological support, in order to effectively protect traditional village spaces and inherit agricultural culture. First of all, an eco-agricultural complex can revive the agricultural ecological environment by combining traditional agricultural practices with modern technology, enhance the level of the agricultural industry, help revitalize the rural economy, create new job opportunities, retain rural populations, and thereby ensure the complete protection and inheritance of local cultural heritage and traditions. Secondly, by combining agricultural production with cultural tourism and carrying out various activities such as ethnic festival celebrations, traditional skills workshop experiences, and so on, an eco-agricultural complex can build a platform for cultural exchange and educational innovation, enhance the local residents' and tourists' understanding and appreciation of rural historical and cultural heritage, thereby enhancing the influence and social value of traditional agricultural culture and realizing its inheritance and development. In addition, the construction of supporting facilities for eco agricultural complexes and related derivative industries, such as the construction of village cultural museums, cultural activity centers, and commercial service facilities for public services and activities, can improve the living environment quality in rural areas from the and activities, can improve the living environment quality in rural areas from the hardware infrastructure level, enhance the living standards of rural residents, help to hardware infrastructure level, enhance the living standards of rural residents, help to improve the overall quality of the original rural population, and benefit the protection improve the overall quality of the original rural population, and benefit the protection and inheritance of rural historical and cultural heritage and inheritance of rural historical and cultural heritage. In conclusion, the ecological agricultural complex can not only improve the rural In conclusion, the ecological agricultural complex can not only improve the rural ecological environment, expand the path of rural industrial development, and enhance ecological environment, expand the path of rural industrial development, and enhance the level of rural economy and industrial development but also help to improve the level of rural economy and industrial development but also help to improve the overall social and cultural level of rural areas, enhance the cohesion and attractiveness overall social and cultural level of rural areas, enhance the cohesion and attractiveness of rural society, and thus achieve the effective protection of traditional villages and the of rural society, and thus achieve the effective protection of traditional villages and the continuation and inheritance of distinctive agricultural culture, continuation and inheritance of distinctive agricultural culture.

Strategies and evaluation of urban regeneration of historic industrial districts from a life cycle management (lcm) perspective: a case study of Yangpu riverfront in Shanghai
(AESOP, 2023) Chu, Tong; Zhou, Minghao
As developing countries have embraced rapid urbanisation and deindustrialisation since the end of last century, massive historic industrial districts sitting idle, due to industrial restructuring and land resource scarcity, have undergone spatial regeneration and industrial upgrading in large scale, as part of important efforts to improve urban spatial quality and functional capacity. However, regeneration of historic industrial districts is often impacted by the complicated relationship among stakeholders, burdensome red tape, and high requirements for historical preservation. Therefore, it will inevitably lead to a raft of consequences, such as dissension among different parties, divided planning, construction, and management, and mismatch between inputs and earnings. In this context, a regeneration management system featuring multiple parties, whole process, and whole elements underpins the sustainable regeneration of urban historic industrial districts. This coincides with the idea and content of LCM, which provides a possible solution to the sustainable regeneration of urban historic industrial districts. By drawing on the theory and methods of LCM and corresponding to its ‘Plan Do Check Adjust’ theoretical approach, this study an LCM framework for the regeneration of historic industrial districts. The framework includes ‘institution formulation, stake holder organisation, resource introduction, right transfer, planning and construction, operation and management, supervision and evaluation, feedback and adjustment’. This study also systematically reviews the strategies, experiences, and challenges of each stage in the regeneration of the Yangpu Riverfront Historic Industrial District in Shanghai, which is a key area for upgrading the city’s overall strength. The effectiveness of the LCM system is also evaluated, with a view to contributing to the theoretical and practical aspects of urban regeneration planning and management, and beefing up the city's ability to respond to challenges and uncertainties.

A ladder of urban resilience: towards a paradigm of evolutionary resilience to support communities facing chronic crises
(AESOP, 2023) Esposito, Dario
This paper explores the concept of urban resilience in the context of complex socio technical ecosystems within cities. Its objective is to move beyond the functional schematization of capacities along successive implementation phases. Instead, it proposes an integrated framework for a comprehensive approach to urban resilience that considers the interaction between i) appropriate qualities based on the specific problem characteristics, ii) processes across different system domains forming a city, and iii) the involvement of agents in decision making and action implementation. Through an analysis of the challenges posed by chronic crises and structural disorders, the article underscores the need for a paradigm shift in governance to support communities grappling with the impossibility of contradictory adaptation choices. This is essential to ascend the ladder of city resilience through adaptive strategies, inclusive decision making, and the co generation of innovation, including the application of information and communication technology for this purpose.

The perception and preference of compound spaces in traditional villages in China
(AESOP, 2023) Feng, Jia; Chen, Xiaojian
Traditional villages in China are undergoing spatial renewal and reorganization, resulting in the emergence of compound spaces comprising modern and historical buildings. As integral parts of these traditional villages, these compound spaces have a significant impact on the perception preferences of the historical spaces within them. This study employs deep learning techniques to analyze photos and videos containing compound spaces and extract the visual occupation ratio and visual change ratio of modern and historic buildings. The specific focus is to explore the influence of the visual occupation ratio and visual change ratio on spatial perception preferences, aiming to analyze and understand the delicate balance between sustainable development and heritage preservation in traditional villages. The paper examines the external representation of architectural elements within compound spaces, including the potential increase in perception preferences by reducing modern buildings and the influence of trends in modern and historical buildings on perception preferences. The findings from this research provide valuable insights for addressing spatial dissonance amidst rapid development in traditional villages in China.

Evaluating the accessibility of green networks: a case study on new cities in Seoul metropolitan area
(AESOP, 2023) Kang, Mingu; Kwon, Youngsang
Demand for urban green networks has increased and the accessibility have become major concerns, but related discussions have so far been restricted only to green spaces. Through a case study on second and third phase new cities in Seoul metropolitan area, this study suggests new indicators to evaluate the synergy between road and green networks in urban areas. Applying the suggested method on the new cities of Dongtan, Wirye, Wangsuk and Gyosan, this study demonstrates how the indicators explain the spatial structure of the green networks and verifies the structural characteristics of each new city. One of the main conclusions are that third phase new cities’ green networks have higher integration and lower control. Implications for the difference between cities and phases are further discussed.

The simplified courtyard and its public space in north China’s small cities: significance, threats, and opportunities
(AESOP, 2023) Liu, Qian; Pezzetti, Laura
This study defined as ‘Simplified Courtyard’ a type of urban house widely built in the 1970s 1990s in small cities in North China. Together with their public and semi-public spaces, Simplified Courtyards constituted the urban landscape characteristic of the early socialist era in small cities. In the rapid urban transformation of the past few decades, a large part of them was demolished and replaced with a tabula rasa approach. Taking the small city Zhengding as an example, this study investigated the Simplified Courtyard with respect to its public space, analysing its urban significance, threats, and opportunities for regeneration, to draw adequate attention to this unique but long neglected urban component and contribute to their sustainable subsistence in the future.

Reflections on Tirana’s urban identity
(AESOP, 2023) Prifti, Jonila
This article examines the concept of identity related to public places. In post socialist cities, the rush of urban development signed the loss of peculiar characters of places and of what Pierre Nora called lieux de mémoire. The Albanian concept and perception of urban public space have undergone through radical transformations which have affected the identity of the place neglecting and sometimes canceling it and the process of place making. The paper discusses the effect that recent projects have had on the memory and the tradition of public places. The aim is to look at the local level for various forms and manifestations of elements of urban identities. In this perspective, the paper tries to rebuild the evolution of public places of Tirana to understand the past transformation phenomena and the ones in progress, identifying the specific features of places such as morphological identity, uses and culture. It argues that development of amnesia in urban space was intentional and proposes guidelines for future developments. Keywords: memory, place, amnesia, identity, tradition
