Despite numerous reviews of space syntax research, there has been little emphasis on the field's main characteristics and tendencies, including publication trends, geographical distribution, leading authors and institutions, collaboration networks, influential publications, research fronts, and research gaps. Bibliometric analysis techniques were employed to review nearly five decades of publications (1976–2023) drawn from multiple data sources to assess the field's annual trend of publications; its social, intellectual, and conceptual structures; and future research directions. The findings provide an overview of the landscape of space syntax studies and a valuable reference for a wide range of academics and professionals.

Disaster preparedness and relief is a key service provided by the American system of government, but emergency management practices have produced varying outcomes. Based on the existing literature, emergency management, community planning, and a history of racial inequities are inextricably interconnected. Based on the concepts presented by social equity, community planning, emergency management, and environmental policy literature, an interdisciplinary approach was used to create an original checklist of considerations for emergency managers, community planners, and policymakers to use in a collaborative manner to proactively address potential threats to their constituents and communities.

Despite a growing body of research on the smart city framework for disaster resilience, a comprehensive systematic literature review from urban planning perspectives has never been attempted. In this review of smart and resilient cities, we distill vital learning and shared concepts, identify research trends and limitations, and suggest avenues for future research. The results reveal that reviewed articles primarily focused on methodological approaches addressing how to adapt technologies for disaster resilience, yet rarely discussed the sociological approaches to environment, economy, and governance. This study will provide a reference to trace existing research and suggest equitable smart resilience.

Beauty has been an important, central concept since ancient times. Over the centuries, its status deteriorated until it became improper for academic discussion. In the last two decades, there has been a call to revisit beauty and aesthetic judgment in some disciplines. However, despite interest in urban design, the integration of beauty in planning theory and practice remains slow and partial. This paper presents the changing relevance of beauty in general academic discourse in four milestones before analyzing literature on planning and follows the changing attitude toward aesthetics. The conclusion points to a possible resurgence of beauty in planning literature.

This study investigates the importance of critical thinking skill in the curriculum of the high schools. The critical thinking skill is being given a lot of importance in the 21st century, therefore its further investigation is quite necessary. Implementing the critical thinking skill in schools not only facilitates the process of achieving a language proficiency, but it also helps to build one’s personality, since it involves plenty of thinking and analyzing of a matter. The study is conducted in three different high schools of Skopje and it uses the student questionnaire to evaluate students’ perceptions of critical thinking. The results from the research showed that the participants expressed positive attitude to critical thinking. In addition, critical thinking as a skill is being taught in the high schools of Skopje besides the barriers that the ministry of education has set. All in all, critical thinking is an amusing skill, which forms one’s logic and intelligence to see the background of a certain situation, beyond what capture the eyes, which means it leads to thinking and imagination, which neither can be seen nor touched.

Planning struggles with the tension between professional expertise and public voice. The approaching 75th anniversary of Philip Selznick's classic, TVA and the Grass Roots, is an apt time to revisit that tension. In Selznick's analysis, Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) was a modernist institution aligning with local agricultural elites at the expense of vulnerable Black and poor farmers. He coined the term ‘informal co-optation’ to characterize TVA's affiliation with the powerful. We bring renewed attention to informal co-optation and the institutional aspects of engagement by examining how Selznick's analysis was received contemporaneously, and then considering recent scholarship and the current implications of Selznick's work.
规划与专业知识和公众声音之间的紧张关系作斗争。菲利普·塞尔兹尼克(Philip Selznick)的经典作品《TVA与草根》(TVA and The Grass Roots)75周年纪念日即将到来,这是一个重新审视这种紧张关系的恰当时机。在塞尔兹尼克的分析中,田纳西河谷管理局(TVA)是一个现代主义机构,与当地农业精英结盟,以牺牲弱势黑人和贫困农民为代价。他创造了“非正式合作”一词来描述TVA与权贵的关系。我们通过研究Selznick的分析在同一时期是如何被接受的,然后考虑最近的学术研究和Selznick工作的当前影响,重新关注非正式的选择和参与的制度方面。

There is extensive literature on the agency of actors in urban and regional planning which draws on a wide range of theoretical lenses and concepts. One of the recurring themes is the relationship between agency and structure—the mutual interdependence between individual actions and collective institutions, rules, and norms. This article provides a narrative overview of the wide range of literature on agency and structure in relation to spatial planning clustered around six interrelated themes: institutions, discretion, pragmatism, networks, leadership, and emotions. It identifies new avenues for research, paying particular attention to empirical, scalar, and methodological issues.
