Abstract
ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to compare two European cities, Malmö and Ostrava, in terms of the implementation of the assumptions of sustainable urbanization with particular emphasis on environmental management. The research was carried out using the two techniques of field research and content analysis of these cities’ websites. Results of the research show that when implementing the strategy of sustainable urbanization in Malmö and Ostrava, city authorities adopt two different approaches. In Malmö the dominant activities are those which support the environment, in Ostrava, however, preference is given to more ‘passive’ initiatives.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Urban Design is a scholarly international journal which advances theory, research and practice in urban design. There is a growing recognition of the need for urban design in shaping, managing and improving the quality of the urban environment. It is now considered one of the core knowledge components of planning and architectural education and practice. Thus, increasing numbers of architects, planners, surveyors, landscape architects and other professions concerned with the quality of urban development are specialising in urban design. The Journal of Urban Design provides a new forum to bring together those contributing to this re-emerging discipline and enables researchers, scholars, practitioners and students to explore its many dimensions. The Journal publishes original articles in specialised areas such as urban aesthetics and townscape; urban structure and form; sustainable development; urban history, preservation and conservation; urban regeneration; local and regional identity; design control and guidance; property development; practice and implementation.
