ABSTRACT The petroleumscape has been comprehensively studied downstream from refineries to the retail and administrative footprints of oil space that are generally related to urban agglomeration. Upstream, however, there is less analysis of onshore oil’s origins, typically located in the hinterland and associated with rural areas. This article elaborates on the concept of the petroleumscape in oil and gas extractive areas, which are perceived and conceived of as non-urban, as a nonetheless urban phenomenon. It employs the lens of planetary urbanization by using the term ‘urban fabric’. To illustrate how the urban fabric was produced, appropriated, and contested, the Cepu region and its oil mining were analyzed using previous studies, secondary documents, and news. The results show that the Cepu petroleumscape is a blurred capitalist urban fabric determined by local social and political processes.

In this sense, Non-Design is a substantial critical work, indicting the theories that shape current, dominant practices, doctrines, and understandings in architecture, urban design, and planning. Readers will not fail to identify the fingerprints of Hayek in contemporary architecture and urban approaches such as parametricism, complex cities, localism, and tactical urbanism, which argue for a diminished role for the designer and government in processes of urban development and design, and too often conflate democracy or popularity with the market.

ABSTRACT One of the most volatile sites in Jerusalem is the Palestinian neighbourhood of Silwan, at the heart of which lies the City of David archeological site. Much scholarship focuses on the contemporary tensions that arise from its two contradictory identities: an East Jerusalem Palestinian residential community and a Jewish symbol of a mythical past. This article, by contrast, explores a largely overlooked historical moment that has been key to the shaping of these dynamics: the declaration within merely six weeks after the 1967 war of an Israeli national park around the Old City Walls. The article explores how an unrealized British colonial plan for a green belt around the historic walls of Jerusalem was updated in 1967 by Israeli landscape architects using cutting-edge North American environmentalist ideas. Their blueprint, we argue, was crucial to the shaping of the ‘holy basin’s’ spatial logic, landscape imaginaries, and legal structures, necessary to understand the current turn of events. In this process, we highlight the centrality of incorporating longer-term perspectives in the study of contemporary urban realities, bringing into closer dialogue scholarship on present-day urbanism with historical studies of planning and cities.

scientists and planners, that the only possible path to transformation was through political radicalization. While planners and urban experts would not refrain from urban planning ideals, dependency theory provided a framework to explain that the reformist resolution to urban contradictions was impossible. Cuba, isolated from the rest of Pan-American organizations and debates on urban planning, provided a space of solace, even when the Cuban Revolution preceded the political radicalization of Chile: the overarching authority of the revolutionary Cuban state and its control over land tenure and property became a refuge for those thinkers still committed to planning as a tool for economic development and growth. The book’s third part analyses three critical Latin American intellectuals in the definition of the Latin American City as a historical and cultural construction: José Luis Romero, Richard Morse, and Angel Rama. Gorelik establishes a Latin American lineage in urban history that differs from the dominant approaches from the United States or Europe. Three key figures that the English reader should recover as well. This is a fundamental book for those who work on the production and circulation of ideas on planning in the second half of the twentieth century. While Gorelik is not keen on transnational history, urban scholars working within that perspective will find a breathtaking, overarching narrative that systematizes and organizes many institutions, figures, and ideas that plagued the post-war developmental Pan-American moment. Gorelik opened this line of inquiry several years ago, and this book is the outcome of all those years of work. More than closing the debate, his book opens more questions and possible circuits of ideas and policymaking for future research.

ABSTRACT A series of memorials to the throne written by Chao Cuo (200–154 B.C.), a high-ranking official of the Western Han Dynasty (206 B.C.–A.D. 24), contained systematic thoughts and methods of border city planning, and could be regarded as a valuable 2200-year-old document of planning history. Based on the textual interpretation of the classical texts, a historical analysis method that mixes theoretical construction and empirical evidence is applied to analyse the planning thoughts and methods proposed in Chao Cuo's works, including the strategic layout of human and land resources at the territorial scale, city site selection based on natural geographical conditions, multi-scale constructions of physical space from region to residence and social governance balancing people's livelihood and military affairs. The purpose of the planning system proposed by Chao Cuo was to build cites that were suitable for both military defence and people's daily lives, so that people would settle in the frontier and form a stable military force to resist enemies. Chao's works explain a typical feature of ancient Chinese city planning as an instrument of political governance, and demonstrated the interaction between urban form and way of life.

ABSTRACT This article examines the infrastructural histories and legacies of three transnational corridors centred on the Mozambican cities of Maputo, Beira and Nacala. Underpinned by physical infrastructures, corridors were central to the extractive European colonial enterprise in Africa. Corridors facilitated the flows of resources, goods and knowledge between metropoles, African urban centres, and their hinterlands. Nowadays, corridors insert African cities and regions into global circuits of capital that perpetuate past extractive practices and policies. They are also powerful imaginary spaces for advancing political projects and developing specific configurations of government. Accordingly, the idea of a corridor may remain useful over time even as claims for their economic necessity ebb and flow. In this article, we examine the continuities between three contemporary Mozambican corridors and older colonial transitways that connected the three cities to British colonial interests in southern Africa. Then, drawing on Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse analysis, we suggest that corridors can serve as ‘empty signifiers,’ becoming linked to diverse understandings, standing for fluid yet enduring ambitions of connectivity, competitiveness, and regional integration. After scrutizing recent investments in the corridors, we reflect on their role in constructing a ‘new’ Mozambican economic order that is nevertheless deeply entangled in the country’s past.
