ABSTRACT Social isolation and mental well-being have been public concerns for South Korea for more than a decade. This has led to the development of happiness legislation and promoting happiness as an explicit city policy. As a result, the Seoul Village Community Project was developed to foster citizen participation and community engagement to promote communal ways of living and reduce social isolation. This paper examines the contemporary driver of Seoul’s endeavour to become a happy city and the success and failure in the city’s policy actions. The paper also illustrates how citizen participation has resulted in Seoul’s urban planning and revitalization.

ABSTRACT Our main aim is to identify the key features of spatial disputes concerning decisions on building conditions that concluded with a court decision. Parties to such planning disputes, directions of court decisions and territorial regularities were all identified. Both the database of administrative rulings of the Supreme Administrative Court (391 judgments in 205 municipalities) and data on local spatial planning documents (2.5 million decisions in 2,477 municipalities in Poland) were used. The results show that the initiators of planning disputes concluded in court are mainly property owners and their neighbours. Courts are more likely to uphold an investor’s complaint.

ABSTRACT Comprehensive understanding of the merits of bottom-up urban development is lacking, thus hampering and complicating associated collaborative processes. Therefore, and given the assumed relevancies, we mapped the social, environmental and economic values generated by bottom-up developments in two Dutch urban areas, using theory-based evaluation principles. These evaluations raised insights into the values, beneficiaries and path dependencies between successive values, confirming the assumed effect of placemaking accelerating further spatial developments. It also revealed broader impacts of bottom-up endeavors, such as influences on local policies and innovations in urban development.

ABSTRACT A distinct collective place imaginary has developed in recent decades for the Lower Ouseburn Valley, Newcastle upon Tyne, or ‘Ouseburn’, formed by the experience of ‘rediscovery’ of this post-industrial area, as well as its longer industrial past. This has crystallized in the idea of ‘Ouseburnness’, a placeness that is used to actively frame the area’s character and future. In this paper, we examine this story in the context of a relational understanding of place and the translation of place imaginary into place governance, and vice versa, in the process raising questions of wider relevance to heritage management and urban planning.

ABSTRACT Arts and cultural planning is a growing subfield of planning, but we know little about how arts and cultural master plans are used in daily practice. Based on a survey of planners in 64 U.S. cities, we found that arts and cultural planners draw on arts and cultural plans more and view these plans as more influential than do general planners. Respondents highlighted plans’ importance in increasing community pride, government support for creative and cultural organizations, and in supporting economic development and place-based interventions. Participants thought they had made good progress towards implementation but still had work to do.

ABSTRACT City leaders are advancing low-carbon transitions in urban areas that require robust operational frameworks and innovative processes. This paper presents a novel interdisciplinary framework to support urban decision-makers in the design and implementation of low-carbon strategies based on participatory approaches. Using inductive reasoning, the framework was defined according to three methodological steps: the preliminary analysis, the indicator selection, and the decision-making implementation. The work is part of the MOLOC Interreg Europe project and is applied to the revision of the Turin General Master Plan.

ABSTRACT The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has recently lifted restrictions regarding the mixing of genders and the access rights of women to public space. These reforms call for new public space strategies to accommodate women’s needs. Although studies have examined various management and design factors thought to improve women’s experiences in public spaces, these studies often lack an evaluative component and do not always convey the significance of each factor. Through Exploratory Factor Analysis and Fuzzy Synthetic Evaluation techniques, we propose a six-factor index that allows officials, practitioners, researchers, and urban inhabitants to assess and improve urban access for women.

ABSTRACT This paper examines how policymakers interpret and deploy cultural economy approaches within municipal economic development strategies and cultural plans. Focusing on the 33 largest municipalities in Ontario, Canada, we conduct a keyword analysis of 63 municipal planning documents, supplemented with key informant interviews with economic development and cultural planning staff. Our analysis reveals that the use of cultural economy approaches in economic development and cultural plans varies depending upon city size, municipal governance structure and municipal organizational structure. However, despite the widespread use of cultural economy ideas in planning documents, we conclude that its uptake in municipal policymaking fails to reflect its professional and scholarly popularity.
