“…Based on the accessibility model outlined in the "Regulations on Urban Land Grading," the effective radii for arterial roads, sub-arterial roads, and local roads were determined to be 0.5 km, 0.3 km, and 0.1 km, respectively. The quantification formula for road accessibility, as specified in the grading regulations, was used to calculate the attenuation index for road accessibility [26]. The equation is as follows:…”

With the development of the urban economy and population growth, the demand for urban construction land continues to rise. Addressing the challenges of land protection and ecological security calls for the exploration of new approaches. This study emphasizes a sustainable solution by emphasizing in-depth exploration of existing land resources, moving away from the traditional “expanding the pie” model of urban development. Specifically, we selected land parcels in Shenzhen city from 2010 to 2020 that met the criteria for urban renewal and transformation as evaluation units, further categorized into residential, industrial, and commercial land for transformation. From multiple perspectives, including geological conditions, building conditions, agglomeration, social factors, and the degree of completeness of public facilities, we constructed an evaluation system comprising 23 indicators to quantify the potential for urban renewal of these units. Through the AET (AHP-EWM-TOPSIS) model analysis for assessing the potential of urban renewal and transformation, we classified the transformation parcels into different potential levels based on the optimized solutions from the model. Finally, we validated the results using the planned land units implemented in Shenzhen from 2010 to 2020, achieving an accuracy of 81% in matching the spatial distribution of potential levels with the actual situation. The comprehensive evaluation results from the model provide a basis for optimizing and enhancing sustainable urban renewal. This research contributes to the formulation of informed decisions and strategic urban development planning, enabling a more cautious and resource-efficient approach to address the challenges of urban expansion.

“…By using materials and forms that trigger a wide range of associations, different groups could read different stories of use and of belonging into the design. This can be amplified by the use of a variety of materials and forms connected with different cultures and histories (Eizenberg et al, 2021). To flesh out this focus, we engage the concept of 'generality' from architecture.…”

“…How can we design urban spaces that promote inclusion? As urban growth increases and cities become more diverse, this question has implications for the dynamics of power and citizenship (Irazabál, 2008;Jensen, 2011), the inclusion or exclusion of citizens (Eizenberg et al, 2021;Ye, 2019;Low & Iveson, 2016), and how infrastructure, mobility and service delivery are conceptualised, integrated and implemented in cities (e.g., Brandão & Brandão, 2017;Sheller, 2008).…”

In this article, we examine how urban design can promote inclusion by simultaneously accommodating multiple expressions of interests and identities and providing common ground for interaction between different social and cultural groups. Borrowing from science and technology studies, we use the concept of 'interpretive flexibility', which recognises multiple and incongruent perspectives as a resource in design and extend this by drawing on the architectural notion of 'generality', which supports the ability of a design to accommodate change in usage without a change in its properties. We illustrate the potential of interpretive flexibility as an approach to designing inclusive urban space with a comparative case study of Medellín, Colombia and Beirut, Lebanon. This approach treats architectural considerations about materials and form as an integral part of planning interventions for social change. In discussing this approach, we identify key insights from our cases and their relevance for Nordic and other urban contexts.

“…Urban planning practices in mixed towns and divided cities can empower some to the detriment of others (Yiftachel, 1998), and can sharpen the spatial segregation between native groups, economic migrants and refugees, as has been seen in places such as Stockholm (Rokem and Vaughan, 2019) and Istanbul (Lelandais, 2014). On the other hand, urban planning practices can help to dismantle segregation by encouraging everyday life encounters among diverse groups leading to new commitments (Gaffikin et al ., 2010) and involving compensatory and more inclusive dynamics by supporting mutual recognition between groups who share the public space (Gaffikin and Morrissey, 2011; Wood and Landry, 2012; Hirsh et al ., 2021; Eizenberg et al ., 2022).…”

“…These contributions suggest that planning can abandon a presumably bureaucratic approach to become a proactive initiative in the generation of spaces and infrastructures that allow for different perceptions of the sense of belonging to the city. In particular, this literature has compelled policymakers to develop technologies that invite different communities to embrace the culture and history of the cultural other, advocating for reconciliation between them (Bollens 2002; 2009; Gaffikin and Morrissey, 2011; Eizenberg et al ., 2022).…”

JERUSALEM, A HOLY AND CREATIVE CITY: Advisory Practices and the Grounding of Urban Mobilities within the Context of Ethnic Conflict

This article assesses how the agency of international advisors can provide policy recommendations that, instead of introducing urban policy initiatives for multicultural encounters, sharpen political and spatial segregation within the context of ethnic conflict. The article explores the variegated nature of neoliberalization and argues that the adoption of strategic planning and creativity discourses enables the development of a sophisticated political rationale for governing ethnic diversity. The analysis focuses on a range of advisory practices—including the role played by Michael Porter at the Harvard Business School and Richard Florida at the Creative Class Group in advising former Jerusalem mayor Nir Barkat—in order to understand the dynamics of grounding imaginaries concerning a neoliberal role for the state and the depoliticization of the public sphere in a disputed city. By surveying official policy documents, journalistic interviews and two reports submitted by Porter and Florida to Barkat, the author examines how the branding of Jerusalem as a creative city involved managerial practices that classified the city's diverse population according to categories of creative and non‐creative labor rather than political subjects. The adoption of such discourses facilitated a novel approach for enhancing the state‐building ethno‐nationalistic project while at the same time reproducing the dynamics of occupation and annexation.
