Green, Blue and Smart: Institutional Work in the Creation of a Multifunctional Infrastructural Space
The spaces created by urban infrastructure are being reimagined as multifunctional urban places. This paper explores the creation of a green, blue and smart infrastructural space, the Wharf Street Next Generation Community Park (WSNGCP) in Perth, WA. The research uses a multiple method approach to understand the types of institutional work – maintaining, creating or disrupting – that were employed in the creation of the WSNGCP. The research shows…
Commemorating Stolen Generation experiences through virtual reality
State sanctioned removal of Australian Aboriginal children from family, culture, and country has had harmful and traumatic effects on the Survivors of this process and their children. Known as the Stolen Generations, children were detained in government settlements and church missions and stripped of Aboriginality. This article explores ways that a virtual reality reconstruction of mission environments may be implemented to memorialise and commem…
Trauma and healing at Western Australia’s former native missions
In Western Australia, the removal of mixed-descent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island children from parents into church-run institutions has caused ongoing damage to the social and emotional wellbeing of survivors and their descendants. Curtin University and Aboriginal organisations are attempting to utilise a number of defunct mission sites as Healing Centres for Stolen Generation survivors. But the rapid deterioration of missions and restricte…
Cultural Memories for Better Place Experience: The Case of Orabi Square in Alexandria, Egypt
Globalization is associated with significant transformations in city forms and cultural and social performances. Governments and cultural heritage organisations increasingly appreciate the importance of preserving diverse physical cultural heritage through rehabilitation and the implementation of conservation plans. Nevertheless, there is a need to evaluate whether these plans understand the importance of cultural memory in societies, as well as …
Towards Psychosocial Well-Being in Historic Urban Landscapes: The Contribution of Cultural Memory
A crucial element in the human search for well-being is achieving a sense of identity within, and belonging to, the landscape in which we live. Landscape should be understood as not only the visible environment but the affective values we attach to it and how we shape it in our mind’s eye. These inner reflections of our landscapes constitute one of our richest archives, in particular, in terms of creating and passing down to future generations ou…
Grounded Theory as an Approach for Exploring the Effect of Cultural Memory on Psychosocial Well-Being in Historic Urban Landscapes
Although grounded theory (GT) has emerged as a popular research approach across multiple areas of social science, it has been less widely taken up by researchers working in the fields of urban planning and design. The application of GT enables uniquely innovative insights to be gained from qualitative data, but it has attracted criticism and brings its own challenges. This paper proposes a methodology that could be applied by other researchers in…
Gentrification in new-build and old-build transit-oriented developments: The case of Bengaluru
Indian cities have seen substantial investment in building metro systems, with a few cities operating full-fledged metro. In the case of city of Bengaluru, the influx of public investment on transit and favourable zoning incentives are attracting around 26% of housing investment in transit-oriented developments (TODs). This paper examines whether such a large-scale influx of public and private capital is leading to gentrification in TODs. The fin…
Walkable Streets “For the People” “By the People”
The realisation that improving walkability can enhance public transport patronage has been gaining momentum. The preconditions for encouraging non-motorized transport – high densities and mixed use already exist in many cities of the Global South. Street designs which promote accessibility and safety for increased walkability have been developed, but are yet to be adopted in these cities. The impediments to walkability here are not only related t…
Desirable Dense Neighbourhoods: An Environmental Psychological Approach for Understanding Community Resistance to Densification
This article examines an environmental psychological approach to exploring the attitudes of urban residents towards what they consider to be a 'desirable dense' neighbourhood. Socio-cultural expectations of high-density developments are explored through an analysis of residents' perceptions of what constitutes a desirable high-density environment. The article presents specific findings identifying influences on residents' attitudes to urban densi…
Symbolic estates: Community Identity and Empowerment Through Heritage
Heritage is important for the social and cultural health of communities, whilst local stewardship of cultural heritage has the capacity to empower and recover cultural identity. This paper describes a recent project in Lakhnu – a small rural village in Uttar Pradesh, India – to restore a nineteenth century villa formerly used as the village school as an educational facility. In this discussion, we draw attention to the right of groups to manage t…
