“…The iceberg encourages us to move beyond superficial questions about how to make traffic flow more efficiently to consider how our transportation system was made by certain people, for certain people, and with particular values in mind. Had different people, with different values and concerns, been in charge, the U.S. might have more walkable and bikeable cities with neighborhood schools, healthier communities, stronger local economies, and more sustainable environments (Marx, 2022;Speck, 2013).…”

The school lives of students and educators have long been affected by technological changes, but the advent of digital technologies, from smartphones to social media, have amplified the effects on their daily lives. Unfortunately, school curricula rarely focus on critically examining our relationships with technologies. Daniel G. Krutka, Jacob Pleasants, and T. Philip Nichols offer a framework called the technology education iceberg to help educators plan and reflect on how they teach about technology. They argue that the science, social studies, and English subject areas offer opportunities to encourage a technoskeptical stance in students and educators that is needed for flourishing lives and democratic societies.

“…For this research, we analysed the mutual relationship between transport priorities ("vehicle friendly") and spatial priorities ("pedestrian friendly") indicators and their mutual intensity. The set of indicators was narrowed down to 15 that are most often highlighted in the literature [27,30,33,42,45]. From the researched literature, it can be concluded that priority indicators for urbanity are related to the human scale, safety and comfort ("pedestrian friendly").…”

Climate change and accelerated development that threaten the survival of humankind require an urgent review of planning approaches to achieve sustainable development, including transport systems, since the quantity of motorised traffic and GHG emissions is increasing yearly. Urban planning of post-industrial cities, the digital age, climate change—all this requires that urban planning is not only the planning of settlements where residents will meet their functional needs, but also for cities to be leaders in the fight against climate change. The question arises as to which planning approach is the most suitable for planning sustainable cities in the 21st century. After a literature review and research of the authors, urban corridor planning is suggested as one of the possible planning strategies. When planning new or revitalising existing intra-city corridors within urban areas, to take into account their spatial, environmental, social and economic sustainability is necessary. After an analysis, indicators of urban corridor planning were extracted, and the article highlights the advantages and priorities. The contribution of the article is in determining the ten basic principles of urban corridor planning. It is concluded that implementation of urban corridor planning principles in the planning of intra-city corridors achieves the result of urban sustainability.

“…Central to this planning approach is a combination of hard and soft responses to improving transportation infrastructure and the built environment and to influence the transportation habits of the general population. Examples of earlier research and policy programs by multiple stakeholders on how best practices can be understood and implemented within a framework of social justice, policy innovations, urban and metropolitan governance, and sustainable transportation planning [3,[39][40][41][42][43][44].…”

Enthralling Prefigurative Urban and Regional Planning Forward

Improving, strengthening, and fine tuning, as well as developing, revitalizing, conserving, and preserving, are all words commonly used in an urban and regional planner’s vocabulary. More nebulous are the concepts of it, thyself, which are the other in planning thinking and professional interventions. Who, what, how, when, and where will it be carried out? If conscious and aware of one’s actions, oneself ought to be able to answer these questions without deference to its outcomes. However, it is commonly recognized that we are unable, and at times unwilling, to understand others’ reaction to a proposal, even when put forward according to established common norms and traditions and socio-economic, environmental, cultural, and legal orders. The purpose of this paper is to review various planning challenges derived from earlier lived and or researched experiences that have already occurred, others taking place here and now, as well as others in need of further conceptualization and study. The review methods build not only upon the now classical sustainability framework, but also upon the more recent and alternative Soft City approach centered on place, movement, and sociability. It is believed that the planning topics and methods analyzed in this review can help reach carbon neutrality goals, promote climate urbanism, accomplish higher utilization of renewable energy, and reduce automobility levels, all goals conducive to graceful bliss and authentic happiness.
