Night‐Time Urbanism and Sustainable Regeneration
As cities navigate the challenges of commercial decline, suburbanisation, and demographic transition, night‐time urbanism has emerged as a critical yet underexplored dimension of sustainable urban regeneration. This article positions “night play” as both an analytical lens and a regenerative practice, foregrounding its potential to link cultural vitality, social inclusivity, and urban resilience. Two contrasting case studies are analysed: Tokyo’s…
Elevating Informality
Teras Cihempelas, an elevated pedestrian walkway in Bandung, Indonesia, presents a unique case of integrating informal street vending into formal urban infrastructure. Designed under former mayor and architect Ridwan Kamil, this project sought to both accommodate and regulate informal traders while enhancing public life in a dense, urban fabric. Unlike conventional pedestrianisation efforts, Teras Cihempelas spatially segregates vendors from the …
Nationalism and urban design
Both Canberra and Bangkok have in recent times invoked design competitions to initiate new Parliament buildings. The Canberra case was in a tradition of open international competition, that of Bangkok limited to Thai architects, with both bringing ‘the nation’ into deliberation. In each, the design needed to negotiate an established urban landscape: in Canberra an urban design of axial set-pieces, formal and geometric, of largely US derivation; i…

This paper is edited on the basis of intensive round-table discussions within a relatively small group of colleagues interested and involved in thinking, making and working towards quality of public space, to discuss, problematise and evaluate what is going on and to speculate on actions suitable for these times, and the times that follow. The title of the round table emphasises questions, deliberately pointing at the enigmas posed by current sit…
An ‘applicable framework’ to compare ‘indigenous modernity’
Parallel modernization and self-colonization
Social Production of Space in Johor Bahru
Debates on the social production of urban spaces have been embedded in human geography and urban sociology since the 1970s. This paper analyses and interprets how different social perceptions, constructions and ‘lived’ experiences of space contribute to urban studies in the fast-growing city of Johor Bahru, under Iskandar Malaysia, that is regarded as the dual city of Singapore. This is addressed through the investigation of urban transformation …
From Traditional Mahalleh s to Modern Neighborhoods
Most cities in developing countries experience unprecedented changes in their physical and social structures during the process of modernization. This article investigates daily life in a modern neighborhood of Tehran, Narmak, designed in 1951 based on Western ideas, through the application of qualitative research methods to examine the transformation of this neighborhood from a Gemeinschaft community to a more urban community. This article uses …
Conflicting Green Landscape Ideologies in a Tai Rural Town in Thailand
This article discusses the conflict in ideologies between centralized policies, influenced by City Beautification and top‐down comprehensive planning, and a local participatory approach taking account of multiple ethnic livelihoods, as played out at the municipal level of Mae Hong Son town. These conflicting, complex urban–rural ideologies and cultural mixes are sharply revealed in this small town's first formal public participatory process condu…
