“…Todes (2012) describes how the City of Johannesburg -better capacitated than most other South African municipalities -has developed a growth management strategy to ensure the alignment of infrastructure development and spatial planning through the capital investment management system, with some level of success. However, the scheme remains fragile and its sustainability is far from guaranteed; its adoption by other not so well resourced municipalities seems highly unlikely.…”

The South African government has named the transition towards a greener economy one of its priorities. Meanwhile it has developed a new multilevel integrated planning process, and announced a massive public infrastructure investment plan. The converging point of these three dynamics should be the integration of green infrastructure principles into the different plans as the foundation of the green transition. This paper uses a policy integration analytical framework to assess whether this convergence is in fact taking shape. It analyses the level of integration of green infrastructure principles into the different plans and suggests options to move the green infrastructure agenda forward. (Résumé d'auteur

“…Postalo je znano kot predel mesta, v katerem prevladujejo revni prebivalci (Winkler, 2009), zaradi česar je v procesu naglega propadanja doživelo več preobrazb. Po petih desetletjih propadanja se zdaj mestno središče s svojo mrežo parkov in odprtih prostorov spopada s številnimi težavami, kot je na primer hitro rastoče prebivalstvo (Murray, 2011, in Todes, 2012. Poleg tega je to končna destinacija za veliko število imigrantov, zlasti tistih iz Podsaharske Afrike (Landau in Gindrey, 2008, ter Rogerson in Rogerson, 2015.…”

Revitalizacija parkov in odprtih prostorov v središču JohannesburgaKljub procesu »vračanja v mestno središče«, značilnem za določene otoke v središču Johannesburga, nekateri opazovalci preučevano območje še vedno dojemajo kot propadajoče in ga povezujejo s kriminalom. Čeprav so parki in odprti prostori v Johannesburgu zadnja desetletja propadali, se zdaj obnavljajo. V članku avtorja preučujeta velikost odprtih prostorov in parkov, dostopnih prebivalcem mestnega središča, in kako prijazni so ti uporabnikom. Poleg tega ocenjujeta njihovo trenutno stanje ter raven in učinkovitost razpoložljivih vzdrževalnih storitev. Avtorja preučujeta tudi strategije prenove, ki jih je uvedla mestna občina Johannesburg, na njihovi podlagi pa tudi posebna določila, ki jih je za parke in odprte prostore sprejel lokalni metropolitanski svet. Ugotovitve kažejo, da je sanacija parkov in odprtih prostorov ustrezno vključena v načrte mestne prenove, vendar določene omejitve ovirajo izvedbo tovrstnih izboljšav. Edinstvena dinamika mestnega središča pomeni velik izziv pri vzdrževanju parkov in odprtih prostorov, zato jo je treba ustrezno razumeti in načrtovati ustrezne ukrepe. Pojavlja se tudi potreba po pravičnejši in učinkovitejši dodelitvi virov in po oblikovanju učinkovitejših partnerstev. Končna ugotovitev raziskave je, da bodo potrebe skupnosti zadovoljene šele, ko bodo tovrstna upravljavska vprašanja postavljena v ospredje in se bodo začela ustrezno reševati.

“…In this way, metropolitan cities in the developing countries context are overwhelmed with unanticipated population growth. Hence, policymakers and planners are greatly hindered in maintaining a balance between economic development and social change [19], resulting in a gross failure in estimating the projected population and corresponding growth demands. While the cities of developing countries are frequently struggling to cope with the growing demand, the influx of added migrants makes the development control tasks extremely challenging [20].…”

This paper aims to scrutinize in what way peri-urbanization triggers climate change vulnerabilities. By using spatial analysis techniques, the study undertakes the following tasks. First, the study demarcates Dhaka’s—the capital of Bangladesh—peri-urban growth pattern that took place over the last 24-year period (1992–2016). Afterwards, it determines the conformity of ongoing peri-urban practices with Dhaka’s stipulated planning documents. Then, it identifies Dhaka’s specific vulnerabilities to climate change impacts—i.e., flood, and groundwater table depletion. Lastly, it maps out the socioeconomic profile of the climate change victim groups from Dhaka. The findings of the study reveal that: (a) Dhaka lacks adequate development planning, monitoring, and control mechanisms that lead to an increased and uncontrolled peri-urbanization; (b) Dhaka’s explicitly undefined peri-urban growth boundary is the primary factor in misguiding the growth pockets—that are the most vulnerable locations to climate change impacts, and; (c) Dhaka’s most vulnerable group to the increasing climate change impacts are the climate migrants, who have been repeatedly exposed to the climate change-triggered natural hazards. These study findings generate insights into peri-urbanization-triggered climate change vulnerabilities that aid urban policymakers, managers, and planners in their development policy, planning, monitoring and control practices.
