Stephen Ramos (1970–2026)
It is with enormous sadness and still with a sense of profound shock that we have to record the death of our esteemed colleague Stephen Ramos, who passed away on 20 January of this year. In the fol
International exhibitions and open public spaces
International Exhibitions (Expos) have long been recognised as dynamic laboratories for architectural and urban design innovation. While the iconic structures and transformative urban strategies of Expos have been extensively studied, the critical role of public open spaces within these global events has received comparatively little attention. This paper contends that Expo open spaces are far more than backdrops for architectural showcases; they…
Quality of public space and sustainable development goals
The starting point of this research is the urban model promoted by the United Nations through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The importance of public spaces is especially highlighted in Goal 11.7: “provide universal access to safe, inclusive, and accessible, green, and public spaces ...” The quality of public spaces can be properly assessed by reconsidering the quality indicators and investigating their development potential, which is …
Áreas periurbanas en transformación. Estrategias para la resiliencia de los paisajes periurbanos en ciudades europeas y españolas
En las últimas décadas, el debate internacional sobre la expansión suburbana y el crecimiento periurbano de las ciudades europeas se ha intensificado. La descentralización de actividades industriales, terciarias y residenciales, así como la proliferación de infraestructuras viarias han dado lugar a la fragmentación de la trama agrícola con la formación de espacios de usos mixtos, vacíos o residuales. Por otro lado, es evidente el creciente interé…
The Hispanic International Seminar on Urban Form (Isuf-H). A platform for dialogue between urban planners and urban form researchers in Spanish-speaking countries
This paper is aimed at introducing the readers of Planning Perspectives to the Hispanic International Seminar on Urban Form (ISUF-H), a network for urban studies from morphological perspectives in Spanish-speaking countries. The platform is framed within the context of the research carried out at ISUF and its relationships with other schools and traditions of urban forms. The paper considers the themes and approaches presented at the ISUF-H confe…
An urban design perspective of mass housing estates
Mass housing estates are one of the main urban landscapes associated with postwar urban development in Western cities. Despite their historic and cultural value, they often suffer from urban obsolescence and require regeneration. Contrasting with the uniformity and similarity they were designed with, these such housing estates have evolved along disparate trajectories since their initial construction 50 years ago. Thus, based on a study using the…

International Exhibitions and Urbanism
International Exhibitions and Urbanism provides an insightful and comprehensive historical review of international exhibitions in its first half, which is then illustrated with a thorough technical analysis of the Zaragoza 2008 project in its second half. The first half offers a comparative analysis of nearly 50 events which haven taken place over the past 150 years, as well as exploring the relationships with urbanism from a planning perspective…

The Barcelona model
The experience of Barcelona from the start of the 1980s up until the end of the 1990s has been widely described in academic and professional media alike. However, it is not easy to find global interpretations from an urban planning perspective. Some authors refer to the ‘Barcelona model’, focusing on design issues and the quality of public urban spaces. Others highlight the capacity to manage unique flagship events such as the 1992 Olympic Games,…
