“…For instance, Birkeland and Soini's (2010) multidisciplinary review of scientific literature regarding "cultural sustainability" finds seven different definitional streams for culture with respect to development and sustainability -as cultural continuation (e.g., Short 2005Short /2006Kennedy and Hall 2006;Bekerman and Kpeloqitz 2008), social sustainability (e.g., Chiu 2004;Boogaard et al 2008;Vileniske 2008), locally based development (e.g., Doubleday et al 2004;Radovic 2004), associated with economic viability (e.g., Bhagat et al 2005Bhagat et al /2006Askegaard andKjeldgaard 2007/2006), inseparable from ecological sustainability (Decamps 2001;Nassauer 2004), highlighting eco-cultural justice (e.g., Martinez-Ballasté et al 2006;Jamal and , and as sociocultural evolution and change (e.g., Reisch 2006). Despite this conceptual plurality, thinking about the complex relationships between culture, development, and sustainability has also spilled over into the world of international policy discourse and development (Throsby 2008).…”

In Canada, a federally legislated requirement to develop Integrated Community Sustainability Plans (ICSPs) based on a four-pillar model of sustainability provides a good example of a procedural and substantive policy effort to encourage local governments to integrate all pillars of sustainability into their long-term planning. It also provides an opportunity to explore the conceptual and governance challenges that cities and communities face in implementing this four-pillar framework for long-term community planning. Focusing on the linguistic framing of the cultural dimension of this sustainability framework, this article explores the conceptual relationships between culture, nature, and development, as well the governance issues they pose. Then, it assesses the pragmatic integration of culture in ICSP guides and in actual ICSPs developed by cities and communities across Canada. It concludes with an overall analysis of the current status of these efforts and the key conceptual and governance challenges that are evident.

“…Urban design has a place in many different cultures, languages, and countries and is influenced by their respective cultural traditions and political-economic conditions (Radović 2004). For example, as many branches of knowledge, the geomantic and cosmological conceptions are fundamental to the design of cities and urban places in some East Asian countries over history.…”

The Teaching of Urban Design: A Morphological Approach

Geographical urban morphology as a field of research provides a systematic basis for theorizing and managing urban landscape change. After a review of urban morphology as a field of knowledge, particularly within Europe, and as a basis for planning and urban design, an example of its application in an urban design studio is discussed, focusing on the urban waterfront redevelopment in Auckland, New Zealand. The characterization of urban landscape forms is supported by cartographic- and field-based investigation. Urban design guidelines and development plans prepared by students contribute to improving the character of the built environment.

“…Heidegger puts forward the notions of "dwelling" and "care", underscoring the importance of the full physical and emotional involvement of local people in the planning for their community's development based on their understanding of the indigenous tangible and intangible culture, which is crucial to cultural sustainability [98,99]. Accordingly, the principle of cultural sustainability urges urban design teaching to adopt a new approach tailored to the cultural sensitivity of local people in the community and reflects their understanding and preference for symbolic meaning expression in the design of the community [100].…”

Does Public Participation Matter to Planning? Urban Sculpture Reception in the Context of Elite-Led Planning in Shanghai

Scholars have long debated how effective public participation is in urban planning. While most research was designed to assess the effect of public participation, the knowledge gap concerns whether urban planning would receive negative reception without public participation due to failure in managing people’s emotions. One of the underlying reasons is that public participation is crucial to public emotion management. In this paper, we evaluate the impact of a case of public planning, and more specifically, the effects on public art reception when the planning project is developed by elites, without the involvement and participation of residents. Public art planning involves substantial symbolic and emotional components, and therefore constitutes a suitable case study. This research examines urban sculpture planning in Shanghai. The primary research method is a questionnaire survey, completed by 244 respondents. We argue that public participation is not the sole determinant of public art reception; other factors, particularly locality, also matter: an authoritarian-style urban sculpture planning creates a unanimous reverence and appreciation for flagship art projects on prominent public venues in central cities. However, people’s feelings towards sculptures vary in neighborhoods; people are more likely to resist imposed artworks in the environment of their everyday life. Finally, we conclude that a lack of public participation does not always result in a negative reception to cultural projects on the part of the public; however, this lack of public participation is, nevertheless, culturally unsustainable.
