“…The need to legitimize a new field of knowledge and at the same time the operational character that is awarded to the 'urban development' in terms of diagnosis, for its ability to discover the laws governing urban transformation that is intended to intervene-resulted in a specific historiographic construction [12]. City evolution in the last centuries resulted in the need to develop a concept of urban planning in which more and bigger green spaces are required.…”

Cities have been designed according to their needs and challenges—i.e., structural, social, and technological advances. The city can be understood as a centre where our past, present, and future coexist. Furthermore, cities reflect the actual tendencies and directions, as exemplified by globalization and cross-border cooperation. Similarly, the creation of Eurocities in Iberian Peninsula territories can be an example how these processes can be implement and use the territories’ development, based on shared resources of neighbouring cities. Contextually, the paper addresses not only urban planning models as well as Eurocities case studies, but also projects of planning and territorial management within Iberian Territories—i.e., of the cross-border cooperation projects and strategies. Throughout the present research it was possible to understand the creation and genesis of Eurocities projects and strategies. Furthermore, the research was able to define a timeline of the process of urban and common planning carried out on the Iberian Peninsula, from the past to the present. Moreover, the study reveals the disadvantages or obstacles present during the Eurocities creation, as well as some interactions among planning methodologies, tools, and public policies and the Eurocities conception on the Iberian Peninsula.

“…This new concept of urban development led to the design of cities with low population density and greater cohesion between urban green spaces and rural areas, the so-called 'garden cities' and/or 'satellite cities' [6,8,[11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

“…Part of the city tourism industry needs to be a destination management organization, responsible for development and planning, in order to enable SUTD [13]. Urban and environmental problems have roots in ecology and urban contexts, and therefore, city governors need to plan, design, and manage urban settlements in a way that allows inhabitants to preserve their quality of life [56]. Annual budgets are needed to perform different activities in urban areas to protect the environment and tourism management, ranging from employing professionals to do maintenance and cleaning, surveillance, visitor assistance, and information, limitation of vehicle access, as well as investments in infrastructure and equipment for public use and conservation of local wealth and landmarks [57].…”

Managing Sustainable Urban Tourism Development: The Case of Ljubljana

2020

The interest in sustainable urban development and sustainable tourism development is growing. Yet, according to our knowledge, only a limited number of studies combining those two areas exist, and the holistic model for sustainable urban tourism development has not been introduced. Our study aims to integrate sustainable urban development scientific area with sustainable tourism development scientific area and to integrate and advance the existing models for sustainable urban tourism development. As a method for analyzing the results of 322 interviews, we used content analysis. Based on the analyzed data, the conceptual sustainable urban tourism model is proposed and applied to the case of Ljubljana. The results show that Ljubljana needs more emphasis on sustainable urban tourism development by considering different dimensions of sustainability, stakeholders, as well as types of tourism. Specifically, respondents took into consideration social, environmental, as well as economic sustainability. The most often mentioned stakeholders were local communities and companies; meanwhile, according to their opinion, Ljubljana has the greatest potential in cultural, green, and sports tourism. Finally, the study integrates sustainable urban development and sustainable tourism development scientific areas by providing a conceptual model and taking into consideration the need for proper management, ranging from planning to education and policy-making.

“…Given that resilience is an emergent property shaped by interactions within complex systems and is generally considered comprehensive, nonlinear, and difficult to directly quantify, it is suggested that urban resilience can be broken down into proxies that can represent key features of resilient systems and that are well-perceived and ascertainable for assessment [30][31][32][33]. Through a review and analysis of relevant literature, four of the most frequent proxies, i.e., diversity, decentralization, connectivity, and self-sufficiency, were selected as key proxies to be examined in this study based on the following considerations.…”

Landscape-Based Assessment of Urban Resilience and Its Evolution: A Case Study of the Central City of Shenyang

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Urban resilience is increasingly considered a useful approach to accommodate uncertainties while achieving sustainability in urban systems, especially in the context of rapid urbanization and global environmental change. However, current research on the quantitative assessment of urban resilience is limited. This study introduces four proxies of urban resilience, i.e., diversity, connectivity, decentralization, and self-sufficiency, and the perspective of the urban landscape for the measurement of urban resilience and further guidance on planning practices by establishing connections between resilience potential and landscape characteristics. Using multi-source data and employing landscape-based analysis methods, urban resilience is investigated from 1995 to 2015 in the central city of Shenyang. The results indicate that the composition and configuration of the urban landscape changed significantly during this period, which had a great influence on urban resilience. The temporal and spatial evolution of urban resilience showed obviously directional preferences and an evident distance effect. Overall, the resilience level increased slightly, while the internal differences experienced a declining trend. The four characteristics can be deployed as practical principles to shape urban resilience. The adjustment and trade-offs of these aspects to enhance responsive structures and simultaneously maintain sustainable ecosystem services can be effective ways to realize long-term resilience.
