Forest urbanism: Spatial analysis of the forest-dwelling integration in Alvar Aalto’s plan for Imatra
The integration of urban dwellings and the forest proposed by Alvar Aalto is regaining attention, especially in relation to unbridled global urbanization and its impacts on the socio-ecological environment. Aalto’s approach fosters a deeper connection with nature in everyday life and is credited with significant physiological and psychological benefits for residents. Various scholarly works have explored Aalto’s forest-inspired methods in archite…
River channelization as a catalyst of rural degradation in rapidly urbanizing regions
Rapid urbanisation in Southeast Asia often entails rural degradation, with peri-urban landscapes progressively becoming urban-oriented. During rapid urbanisation in peri-urban areas, channelization is extensively implemented as a flood control measure for planned urban growth. Notably, this engineering-driven alteration of the hydrologic systems often solely emphasises the enlargement of stormwater capacity, whereas slighting the resulting enviro…
The socio-spatial response to environmentally mitigated channelization in Southeast Asia. A longitudinal landscape pattern analysis
Rural-to-urban transformation in Southeast Asia must be discussed as a vicious cycle of hydrologic alteration, environmental degradation, and destructive land use changes that collectively jeopardize millions of lives. Particularly, top-down flood control schemes have been linked to significant degradation of the socioeconomic and biophysical features of rural landscapes and increasingly faster agricultural decline and environmental degradation. …
Visibility and symbolism of corporate architecture: A multi-method approach for visual impact assessment
The global neoliberal cityscape is one of the most iconic products of contemporary urbanization. Inborn to international financial hubs such as New York, London, and Hong Kong, the dense concentration of high-rise bank headquarters became a powerful branding tool in the growing competition to attract foreign investment. Despite the extraordinary international attention this cityscape has attracted, there is a paucity of scientific research on its…
Making Vulnerability Invisible: The Impact of Covid-19 on the Use of Public Space in Hong Kong
Despite the growing body of work on how COVID-19 impacts the use of public space, few studies focused on vulnerable social groups. This article outlines a systematic analysis of the use of public space by migrant domestic workers before and after the pandemic outbreak in Hong Kong. The analysis reveals changes in behavioral patterns, and we discuss them as part of an ongoing conflictual renegotiation of rights and space alongside the dual nature …
Of other waterfront spaces: Mixed methods to discern heterotopias
In recent years waterfronts have progressively become the focus of local administrations, consultancy agencies, and private developers concerned with public health, city branding, and real estate development. Subsequently, they turned into central stages in which cities and societies can be represented, contested, and inverted. However, many questions remain unanswered concerning their capability to function as counter-spaces in the fast-changing…
The controversial impact of pedestrian guardrails on road crossing behaviours. Evidence from Hong Kong
Pedestrian access to transit in evolution: Unfolding the spatialization of rapid-transit planning
This article retraces the impact of evolving hegemonic rapid transit planning and design strategies on pedestrian integration between stations and neighbourhoods, using Hong Kong as a longitudinal case. Mixed-methods research, triangulating documentary analysis, spatial analysis, and in-depth interviews, identified six typologies across three historical phases. The findings demonstrate that pedestrian access to transit is spatially heterogeneous,…
The condition of urban agriculture in a Chinese global city: Evidence from the field
Urban agriculture (UA) encompasses different practices and dissimilar agendas, not all environmentally and socially savoury, ranging from food security to leisure and recreation. Although there is a wealth of literature on UA, little research has investigated its presence and role in a Chinese global city against the backdrop of unbridled urbanisation. This article focuses on Nanshan District in Shenzhen, a vast, rapidly urbanising region in Chin…
From brick-and-mortar to location-less restaurant: The spatial fixing of on-demand food delivery platformization
Pedestrianised streets in the global neoliberal city: A battleground between hegemonic strategies of commodification and informal tactics of commoning
Conserving a Valley System: Measuring the Effectiveness of the Shaxi Rehabilitation Project and Its Potential as a Model for the Conservation of Chinese Agricultural Heritage
This article shows how an integrated approach to the conservation of cultural landscapes can significantly contribute to sustainable tourism. First, the authors illustrate how the Shaxi Rehabilitation Project in Yunnan, China – an international initiative for the conservation of tangible built and natural heritage – has exceeded its original aim and provided a framework for the long-term governance of the entire Shaxi valley system. Second, the a…
The Association between Ground Floor Features and Public Open Space Face-To-Face Interactions: Evidence from Nantou Village, Shenzhen
With face-to-face interaction proving beneficial for mental health, there is still a paucity of research on the correlation between ground floor features (GFFs), defined here as the features of the ground floor of buildings overlooking a street, and public open space face-to-face interaction density (POSFTFID), defined as the density of human face-to-face interactions in the public open space (POS) adjacent to each building. Is there a correlatio…
