“…Courses of social disciplines, if focused on the sociopolitical aspects of urban planning, will improve the students' understanding of the nature of contemporary urban planning as the practice which is democratic by definition, as it contemplates versatile, inter alia, political methods for the identification of social demands and means of social control over its performance [1][2][3][4][5][6]. A lecturer should teach future urban planners to refrain from any clashes with political parties or movements and to get them involved in the search for constructive solutions to urban planning problems.…”

Abstract.The author has identified a trend towards the politicization of urban planning in Russia, caused by a set of factors. The author believes that students should be timely taught to adequately respond to the attempts of the leading political parties and movements to influence the urban planning industry. These attempts represent the imposition of particular urban plans for their benefit, the resolution of urban planning conflicts in the best interests of particular parties, etc. According to the author, who has accumulated an extensive lecturing experience, this goal is attainable by offering social disciplines, including Sociology, Sociology of Urban Development, Bases of Social Regulation and Public Relations, to bachelor students, majoring in urban planning at the Moscow State University of Civil Engineering. The author has considered several issues of teaching methods, in particular, he has identified the list of political problems to be analyzed and the type of classes to be organized, etc. In the report, the author makes a conclusion that the focus on the sociopolitical aspects of urban planning in the courses of social disciplines improves the students' understanding of the nature of urban planning as a democratic practice.

“…Since the 1980s, the waterfront has become a focal point for intensified planning intervention and urban regeneration (Boland et al, 2017). Urban decline linked to the globalisation of trade, changing sea-transportation technologies and deindustrialisation have resulted in the widespread dereliction and deprivation in port cities during the late twentieth century (Tallon, 2013;Mackinnon and Cumbers, 2007;Leger et al, 2016).…”

“…Unlike general urban areas, waterfronts have obvious advantages in terms of economic development, ecological environment, community life, function superposition, and regional sharing [13]. In the era of neoliberal urbanization, waterfronts have become the focus of planning interventions [14]. The construction and redevelopment of urban waterfronts are often accompanied by the functional transformation and improvement of the city.…”

The geographical location of residents and the distribution of points of interest (POI) are key factors affecting the spatial value of urban waterfronts. This study designed an association scheme based on tourists’ geographical location information (obtained from social networks) and the distribution of facilities around lakes to evaluate the spatial value of urban waterfronts. Accordingly, it explored the causes of the current condition of the waterfronts. Using the distribution status of eight types of facilities, a multivariate regression model was established to predict the number of tourists that the lakes attract. Predicted results were compared with the actual condition. The clustering degree of various POI in the waterfronts was graded by using the kernel density estimation, and the difference between the predicted results and actual value was analyzed to reveal the current condition of the urban waterfronts and the reasons for their formation. On the basis of this survey, the situation of 21 major lakes within the third ring road in Wuhan, China was investigated. Results show that existing waterfronts in some areas have a considerable number of users, but the facilities fail to meet their needs. Thus, Wuhan city’s waterfront space needs to be used more effectively. This study can help with making targeted recommendations with reference to future city waterfront planning.
