Planning education for more-than-human futures
In planning education, the role of design and exploration of non-anthropocentric actors remain in their early stages. This research builds on a studio course offered to urban studies and planning students within an interdisciplinary graduate programme in Finland. The studio aims to develop students’ planning skills by fostering design thinking to integrate knowledge and methods from various disciplines towards solving complex urban problems. In a…
Southern urbanism as a negotiation of past, present, and future
The ‘Global South’ notion has been a source of critical investigation for the past decades, referring to numerous interpretations, and providing complementary perspectives on alternative urban dynamics. The southern narrative presents stories of cities, which experience time compression that manifests expedited, multilayered spatio-temporal changes. These cities combine past local heritage, culture and knowledge that are transplanted and often no…
The public library building as nexus for social interactions
Public libraries are public spaces that simultaneously respond to and reshape their contexts, by bundling different programme, and numerous functions that synergistically support social interactions among diverse users. They offer domestic, work and leisure environments, hubs and platforms for civic dialogue, encounter, tolerance of differences and exposure to cultures. Less is known about the interaction between library buildings and their surro…
Youth engagement in urban living labs
Empowering youth in urban governance is essential to align immediate societal concerns with long-term sustainability. Urban living labs (ULLs) provide a valuable framework for embedding youth perspectives into urban decision-making by offering real-world settings for co-creation, experimentation and learning. They have also emerged as pedagogical tools within higher education institutions, yet their use in this context remains insufficiently expl…
The hybridisation of public libraries
Nordic public libraries (PL) are considered ‘houses of democracy’, which have played a key role in ensuring free access to social and cultural capital, and more recently, knowledge capital. In several PL, there has been a shift towards ‘hybrid hubs’, which has not yet been adequately explored, either theoretically or empirically. Firstly, this study reviews existing scientific studies and builds a conceptual framework for exploring the hybridizat…
Transformations of the Beirut River
This article presents the case of the Beirut River corridor in Lebanon, which defines the administrative border between the capital Beirut, its eastern and south-eastern suburbs. The Beirut River has undergone several transformations from being a lotic environment to becoming complex urban infrastructure. This is often unnoticeable due to the scarcity of its running water and its walled existence at the edge of administrative boundaries. The sepa…
Revealing the Community’s Interpretation of Place
Rising the quality of life through improving existing living environments remains one of the critical tasks of contemporary urban design. The quality of life is, in part, a subjective matter and shall thus be approached not only through professional measures but must also include participatory inputs. The techniques for including the residents’ points of view are various and greatly depend on the broader context of each case. However, using new I…
The Evolutions, Transformations, and Adaptations in Beirut’s Public Spaces
Beirut, Lebanon, has been a nexus for the east and west, has undergone episodes of conflict including the civil war between 1975 and 1989, and still witnesses instability to the present. This status has affected its everyday life practices, particularly as manifested in its public spaces. Over time, Beirut’s population has reflected the ability to adapt to living with different states of public spaces; these include embracing new public space mod…
Exploring Beirut’s instability through its informal mobility
The present article addresses the transformations of Beirut, Lebanon's public transport system from its establishment in the 1890s until its disruption during the Lebanese civil war of 1975-1989. The civil war left the country with a weak state, weak planning, and ongoing implications including the emergence of informal mobility. Although informal mobility is a global phenomenon, Beirut provides an opportunity for its study in the context of inst…
Seeds for socio-spatial justice and equitable mobility for all
The present article discusses the possibilities and limitations of transport-related innovative initiatives in Beirut, Lebanon, through a socio-spatial institutionalist perspective, within a socially divided neoliberal context splintered by sectarianism and political turmoil. The article examines the reach of the grassroots initiative "Bus Map Project", which in 2019 became the NGO "Riders Rights" (BMP-RR), in achieving socio-spatial justice and …
Metropolitan regions, planning and governance
‘Metropolitan regions’ has become a widely used term, without a consensus on its definition. It varies contextually and temporally, rendering it easily borrowed to serve different policy agendas, m
Planning in the face of ‘deep divisions’
This article discusses planning in the global South-East while focusing on the specific context of social divides, political turmoil and conflict situations. The article proposes a five-way framework based on political science and planning theory to analyse such contexts. The article explores the case of Beirut, Lebanon that has undergone several episodes of internal and external conflicts resulting in a society splintered along sectarianism. Two…
