(Un)Regulating discretion in development control
This paper draws on a selected case study to examine how discretionary decision-making in development control can benefit from operational guidelines so as to become more transparent, consistent and accountable. Adopting an outcomes-centred approach, it investigates a series of discretionary approvals that have permitted the development of 107 tall buildings in Limassol, Cyprus, since 2007. The study analyses the spatial characteristics of the ap…
Articulating iconic architecture, heritage and public perceptions through digital narratives in Eleftheria Square, Nicosia
Eleftheria Square, in Nicosia, is a multi-level public space that breaks through the city’s mediaeval fortifications to bridge the historic city with its modern extensions. Officially opened in 2021, this emblematic location was redesigned by Zaha Hadid Architects, after winning an international competition in 2005. Presented as a project that reintegrates overlooked spaces with the urban fabric and connects heritage with contemporary sensibiliti…
Urban Land Use Survey Methods
Although the tradition of surveying and analyzing urban land uses for town planning purposes dates back to the 19th century, the evolution of survey methods has not been studied in detail. With the intention of filling this gap, the present article reviews the pertinent Anglo-American literature on survey methods, published from the beginning of the 20th century to date, and highlights the key contributions. Additionally, it proposes a periodizat…
Quite promising yet marginal? A comparative study of social economy in the EU South
Survey methodologies of urban land uses
The primary objective of this article is to review the evolution of urban land-use survey methodologies during the last century, with a special focus on the methodologies concerning field surveys that are conducted for urban planning purposes. Our review reveals, on the one hand, that there has been a steep decrease of interest in the further development of these methodologies over the last 50 years, and, on the other, that they have been serious…
The Classification of Urban Uses
The classification of uses is one of the central issues of urban planning, since it is only by referring to groups of uses that we can achieve the simplification and, ultimately, the understanding of urban space. However, contemporary planning theory has shown very little interest in a theoretical approach to this issue. The present paper addresses the issue by integrating it into the development of an analytical theory of urban uses which it cal…
Critical analysis of the official Greek urban planning indicators of private uses
A historical overview and critical analysis of town centre delimitation methodologies
The article aims at exploring the literature on town centre delimitation methods over the last sixty years. Specifically, the first section explores the content of the term town centre, while the second one proposes an organisation of town centre delimitation research in three main periods. The third section comprises the main corpus of the article, as several town centre delimitation methodologies of the last sixty years are presented and discus…
