“…RE specialists' state, urbanization can increase property prices by 30 percent [11]. Architects [12] are considering how the principles relating to quality of place also determine the quality of life. RE valuators noticed that some people want their living place to match and emphasize their lifestyle, community, and social status.…”

Decisions – where and what type of building to build – are very important, determine the quality of life of residents, profitability and returns of companies. Considering of long-term asset acquisition decisions, purchasers or investors seek for proper and worth to invest land plot for construction. In real estate valuation literature usually the list of 7 or 12 factors influencing value and price of land plot is presented and broadly discussed. Certain factors raise property prices and others bring them down. Despite its importance, the influence of geological conditions on the appraised land plot are seldom investigated. Authors discuss how strongly land plot geological conditions can affect costs of prospect construction, thus decrease net present value of real estate investment project and profitability of property. In this paper the implication of negligence or underestimation of soil conditions valuation is highlighted and illustrated by case studies which show how such inobservance has resulted in a huge rise of unexpected costs of construction and loss of time.

The international circulation of urban design concepts often leads to their characterization as transferable ideals defined by a set of universalized 'best practices' that are simply implemented in new localities, as is typical of top-down approaches to planning. Recently, the compact city and New Urbanism have become trendy concepts informing the development of urban projects across geographies. This research draws on ANT sensitivities and policy mobilities studies to examine the regeneration of Copenhagen's Southern Harbour (Sydhavn) wherein the compact city and New Urbanism ideals, together with a declared inspiration from Dutch architecture, were originally incorporated in the masterplan. Through the analysis of documents and semi-structured interviews, the paper illustrates how these idealsmerged as 'New Compactism'were mobilized and re-intepreted by local actors in Sydhavn. It thus adds to our understanding of how the circulation of such ideals is not a matter of implementation, but a complex social process of translation that entails struggle and transformation.

Walking should be one of the primary modes of transportation in sustainable cities, being more environmentally friendly, sociable, and health conscious. The principles of New Urbanism (NU) promote walkability, creating urban patterns that support the needs of pedestrians. With that in mind, this study aims to define the relationship between walkability and NU in the context of urban regeneration, establishing the urban attributes that influence walkability in the revival of post-industrial areas. The research comes from a statistical analysis of the flow of people in Księży Młyn (Poland) and a field study from Carré de Soie (France) where urban attributes potentially determining walkability were evaluated. The study confirms that pedestrian traffic and urban form can be optimised through a holistic approach. It sets out the relationship between walkability and various phenomena, including i) social-how users behave in public spaces (the role of pedestrians and cars), and to whom the space is dedicated; ii) economic-how the attractiveness of the service and commercial offer are improving, and how real estate prices are changing; and iii) environmental-how the visual attractiveness of the place and the convenience of the space for pedestrians has improved (shop frontage and accessibility).
