In Semnan, there are several valuable historic buildings that, despite their diversity and innovative nature, have a standard and unbreakable identity. With their erosion and degradation, their architecture and construction are rapidly being destroyed and forgotten. Therefore, a multifaceted study of these buildings is essential to recognize the patterns of building homes as the primary focus of development, relying on valuable samples mostly dating back to the Qajar and Pahlavi dynasties. In this research, forty historic houses in Semnan have been studied and analyzed in terms of climate, culture, geometry, form, spatial communication, structure, and all architectural elements that are the basis of the formation of the patterns of these houses. It was realized that architectural designs and constructions of these houses had undergone fundamental changes over time based on changing social conditions and habits of life. Traditional houses were studied in three specified periods, including before the reign of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar, from the power of Naser al-Din Shah to the early reign, and Pahlavi. By reviewing all the details of historical houses and categorizing them we will achieve a guideline for providing conservation and restoration projects in the historical context of Semnan. Keywords: Urban fabric, historical houses, typology, Iranian Architecture, cultural heritage

Spatial planning (SP) plays a pivotal role in shaping urban and rural areas, encompassing interventions such as development, conservation, and spatial configuration, all of which significantly influence climate change adaptation (CCA) efforts. The incorporation of CCA policies within municipal SP has gained increasing importance in addressing the challenges posed by climate change impacts. This study aims to examine the interplay between CCA policies and municipal SP in Turkey. It proposes an assessment of selected cities representing diverse climate regions within Turkey at the local scale. The primary objectives encompass evaluating the current state of the CCA-SP relationship through a causal-comparative approach, considering assessment criteria derived from a comprehensive literature review, and formulating region-specific policies. Noteworthy advancements in local-level climate change mitigation policies are underscored, while concurrently identifying significant gaps in climate change adaptation, particularly concerning the built/green environment and governance/participation. The findings will enhance the integration of CCA policies into forthcoming spatial planning endeavors within Turkey. Keywords: climate change adaptation (CCA), spatial planning (SP), local spatial planning (L-SP), Turkey.
空间规划(SP)在塑造城市和农村地区方面发挥着举足轻重的作用,其中包括开发、保护和空间布局等干预措施,所有这些措施都会对气候变化适应(CCA)工作产生重大影响。在应对气候变化影响所带来的挑战时,将 CCA 政策纳入城市规划已变得越来越重要。本研究旨在探讨土耳其的共同国家评估政策与市政战略之间的相互作用。它建议对代表土耳其不同气候区域的选定城市进行地方尺度的评估。主要目标包括通过因果比较法评估共同国家评估与可持续发展之间关系的现状,考虑从全面的文献综述中得出的评估标准,以及制定针对特定地区的政策。报告强调了地方一级气候变化减缓政策中值得注意的进步,同时也指出了气候变化适应方面的重大差距,特别是在建筑/绿色环境和治理/参与方面。研究结果将促进土耳其将气候变化适应政策纳入即将开展的空间规划工作。关键词:适应气候变化(CCA)、空间规划(SP)、地方空间规划(L-SP)、土耳其。

The regeneration of urban areas has entered the urban planning agenda of different cities, seeking to respond to scenarios of urban degradation and loss of functionality. In this sense, the urban regeneration of strategic areas of cities stands out, as the example of waterfronts. Based on this, the study aims to review the literature on the urban regeneration of waterfronts, seeking to understand how the theme has been addressed over the years and the existing gaps. The study was developed through a hybrid methodology, considering a systematic quantitative review, a semantic analysis, and a narrative analysis. The results demonstrate the actuality of the theme, the predominance of some countries – the UK, Italy, Australia, Portugal, and the USA - and the most recurrent areas of study - Social and Environmental Sciences. Finally, the main topics addressed are identified: policy, planning, projects, social aspects, cultural aspects, environmental aspects, economic aspects, and financial aspects.

Understanding how urban space is constructed in contemporary times in relation to morphology, showing its principles and rules through strategies and projects carried out in recent decades is the objective of the research that focuses on what we consider the most interesting case among European cities: Lisbon. The Castle Hill, Santa Caterina Hill, Baixa, and the Tagus River estuary make up the topographical framework of the research. Starting from the construction of the first Arab settlements along the Castle Hill, passing through the convents and industries along the river banks, the eighteenth-century city built after a terrible earthquake and the modern era Chiado show the special sensitivity of Portuguese architects to geography in the construction of the city. It is hypothesized that topography is a fundamental component of urban design and construction. Keywords: Urban Morphology, Lisbon, Topography, City and Design. Themes: Urban Space, Continuity, and Stratification.

Following the pandemic, tourism dynamics resumed in a compulsive form in response to the physical and social segregation during the covid-19 period. Mass forms of tourism, which stifle and alter local balances, often lead to trivialising outcomes. Following the analysis of these phenomena and the choice of a reference context, a project was drawn up on an urban, landscape and architectural scale as a hypothesis of an alternative model for tourist use. The intention is to see local specificities reworked in a contemporary key, with a view to the inclusion of the local population, with a space that is articulated between public and private, guaranteeing the permeability of the lot. Integration that also takes place from an ecosystem perspective, with agricultural and landscape techniques that attempt to integrate with the territorial dimension of the Azores, on the island of São Miguel.

The paper is part of the debate and experimentation on architectural and urban design resilient to climate change and investigates the possibilities of reusing riverbeds in important cities in the southern Mediterranean and Middle East areas such as Genoa, Malaga and Isfahan. These riverbeds, due to climate change and a series of hydraulic works, are today characterized by a strong variability of the water level and abandonment, even if they represent central areas of the urban structure available to host contemporary public spaces of cities through innovative design solutions. In this perspective, the paper contributes to the debate with a review of theoretical references and recent international practices and a comparison of three selected case studies (Bisagno-Genoa, Guadalmedina-Malaga, Zayanderud-Isfahan) that have been the scope of didactic design experimentations in the framework of international workshops promoted by Sapienza University in collaboration with other Universities. Keywords: water, multilevel-river, public space, urban regeneration.

Today public spaces have become fragile environments highlighting socio-spatial inequalities. This PhD research intends to investigate whether it is possible to define more inclusive urban programs, considering children as determinants of inclusive urban design. It will do so by measuring children’s right to the city and systematising an urban toolkit as a child participation assessment tool to make knowledge reproducible and adaptable. PAR - participatory action research - is the selected methodology. It was developed through implementing urban diagnostic workshops in two social housing neighbourhoods in Porto, Portugal, and through analysing three successful international policy programs that share common values and guidelines in Southern Europe. The research's scientific merit is to understand how to promote equitable, inclusive and caring neighbourhoods through urban and participatory design that enables residents to co-create alternatives targeted to children in contexts of social exclusion. In doing so, making it inclusive to all. Keywords: participatory action research, children’s rights, public spaces, urban policies.

This paper will analyse the characteristics and relationship between market dynamics, financial flows, geography and urban space throughout the 15th century and into the 16th after the discovering of the Tolfa mines. These relationships will be strengthened and justified by the account of several important merchants and banker families that animated the Italian and international landscape during this period. Siena and its environs will be addressed first. By the 13th century, Siena had already evolved into the centre of operations for large business corporations whose activities expanded out internationally. These included the Bonsignori, Salimbeni, Tolomei and Piccolomini families. They partnered with the Roman Curia, fairs of Champagne, and merchant circuits of England, Languedoc, Flanders and western Germany in their financial operations. Europe’s economic geography changed. Business interests shifted to the financial and commercial centres of Bruges, London, Lisbon, Seville. Palabras clave: Tolfa mines, Siena, Roma, Renaissance

Between 2011 and 2014, a process of urban and social regeneration took place in the historic neighborhood of Mouraria in Lisbon. This initiative embraced an interdisciplinary, systemic, participatory, and experimental approach. The regenerative process was guided by strategic choices, such as the centrality of public space, the integration of physical and social dimensions, and the involvement of local communities. Through a widespread, bottom-up, and place-based action, developed upon a few clear and simple strategic lines, extensive results were achieved. This approach overturned the intervention paradigm on existing structures, combining municipal and local interests and including residents in the co-elaboration of the urban and social space. This article aims to provide an overview by examining population engagement strategies, the key actors through which various forms of participation were activated, the new roles adopted by planning and architecture, and the possibilities for preserving sociocultural heritage in urban regeneration. Keywords: Urban regeneration, innovative approach, public space, participation.

Cyber-physical devices are the backbone of a postdigital society in which social, virtual and real spaces are seamlessly integrated by ubiquitous computing and networking. Holistic approaches to urban dynamics cannot minimize the interplay between these spaces and the processes of such entanglement by interfacing augmented urban devices, and the societal pressing challenges of sustainability. The literature review and the production of an original case studies Atlas allowed to: (i) identify major trends on devices’ design and deployment strategies, which, alongside a workshop, fed the design guidelines of a multidisciplinary R&D Project ́s use case demonstrator; (ii) suggest the rising of new (or enhanced) types of urban devices that are the expression of sustainability concerns; and (iii) ascertain three main framing concepts (digital twin, interface and awareness) in light of what seems to be a necessary process of reviewing established urban design theories given a novel highly digitally mediated (virtual) reality. Keywords: augmented public space; urban cyber-physical devices; urban design; sustainability.
