Training for Palestinian engineers to face the challenges of multinational enterprises in the Gaza Strip

Continuing education and training is a normal part of all engineers' professional responsibility and despite the relatively high number of Palestinian universities (six in the West Bank, including an Open University and two in the Gaza Strip) there is an awareness that, in this special situation, training should be considered as a part of the implementation strategy and a national training institute should take responsibility for such work, preferably with feasibility studies to determine real needs and aims for further professional engineering training.

Garden cities in the Jewish Yishuv of Palestine: Zionist ideology and practice 1905–1945

The Garden City Movement is recognized as a dominant forerunner of modern urban planning. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the broad popularity and selective adoption of Garden City concepts in Zionist circles and the Jewish Yishuv (Community) in Palestine, to document their implementation in Jewish urban settlement in Palestine, and to follow their local evolution into the creation of a unique urban fabric. We show how the Garden City ideology and its implementation in England and Germany influenced the Zionist movement, its leaders, and settlers in Ottoman and British Mandatory Palestine, and led them to adopt and adapt concepts of the Garden City model as the ‘national paradigm’ of the new Jewish urban planning in Palestine. The planning was influenced by Garden City ideas, with modifications to Ebenezer Howard's original model made to suit local traditions, public demand, and Zionist goals. The application of the message of the Garden City movement to the physical model beginning unintentionally with the building of Ahuzat Bayit (Tel Aviv) in 1909, created a guiding principle for Jewish urban development in Palestine from 1905 until 1945, and continues to exert its influence on current planning. In conclusion, the article adds a dimension to the emerging picture of early twentieth-century Zionist settlement in Palestine as a laboratory for implementing novel planning ideas of international importance.     

西方现代城市规划和社会互动关系

西方现代城市规划在追求行政化、理性化、职业化的过程中与社会产生了持续的张力,城市规划的内容、程序、边界在持续地变化.历史显示,城市规划形式的改变是对社会发展的积极响应.同时,城市规划的发展为社会的进步作出了重要贡献.为实现城市规划服务社会的功能,城市规划在社会结构的制约中进行积极的建构,其领域是开放的,动态的,既受社会制约,也对社会产生积极回馈.     

An ‘ordinary modernist’? Empire and nation in Ariel Kahane’s large-scale planning

ABSTRACT

The article explores mid-twentieth century professional transnationalism by highlighting the crucial role of lesser-known planners – ‘ordinary modernists’ – in disseminating, negotiating, and ultimately shaping the modern built environment. It focuses on the work of Ariel Kahane (1907–1986), a mostly unknown German-Jewish senior planning officer under both the British Mandate and on the Israeli ‘New Towns’ team of early statehood. It examines Kahane’s critique of British imperial planning’s betrayal of the emancipatory values of large-scale planning, and shows how, while drawing on planning innovations from the British metropole, he produced his own, self-contradictory, planning vision. Kahane’s planning ideas advanced notions of Jewish exclusiveness, an orientation expressed ever more explicitly after 1948, when he became a high-ranking planning officer in Israel. His work as a senior state planner illuminates aspects of continuity across the divide of 1948, which is typically viewed as a moment of rupture with respect to Israeli state planning and the formation of ethno-spatial structures.     

Public Participation in Planning—A Multidimensional Model: The Case of Israel

Discussion of public participation has lacked a comprehensive framework. This paper presents a multidimensional model of public participation with an institutional perspective, designed to facilitate case analysis and enable systematic comparison. The model has three main dimensions: structure, process and actions. Participation structures and processes include organisation, representation, consultation and legal-administrative channels; actions include information exchange and alternative planning. A pilot application of this model framed a case study of public participation in Israel, where objections and appeals are the main channel for public involvement, giving participation an adversarial connotation. Based on the case study, proposals are made for changes to Israeli legislation, practices, and public awareness. The conclusion discusses the model's methodological, policy and practice implications.

广州市城市规划管理图则编制研究--基于城市规划管理单元的新模式

回顾和总结了广州市 1990年代分区规划工作所取得的经验与存在的问题 ,在比较和借鉴国内外相关工作的基础上 ,探索了一种直接面向日常规划管理工作 ,兼具权威性与灵活性的城市规划管理图则新模式。该模式是以“一张图管理”为目标 ,以分层次、双阶段编制为框架 ,以城市规划管理单元为基础 ,强制性与非强制性控制相结合的、动态更新的城市规划管理图则编制创新 ,它将为依法行政和城市法定规划的编制提供良好的基础平台。可以认为 ,在当前我国社会经济发展阶段和宏观政策背景下 ,基于城市规划管理单元的规划管理图则新模式更多的将是在规划技术层面上的创新     

‘Agitating people’s brains’: Noulan Cauchon and the City Scientific in Canada’s capital

Noulan Cauchon (1872–1935) was a founder of the Town Planning Institute of Canada and the Ottawa Town Planning Commission. He played a significant role in the planning of Canada’s capital city in the early twentieth century. This article traces the evolution of Cauchon’s planning ideas and their place within the Canadian planning profession, based upon his numerous public lectures, newspaper and journal articles. He was a close ally of Thomas Adams during the 1914‐26 campaign to extend town planning across Canada. Cauchon’s background as a railway engineer influenced his City Scientific approach to planning, which contrasted with the City Beautiful proposals for the capital produced for the federal government. This City Scientific approach became the dominant mode of planning in Canada after 1918. Cauchon produced a comprehensive zoning by‐law and many small‐scale planning schemes for the Ottawa area. Few of his proposals were implemented by the municipality, which deferred to the national government on most planning issues during this period. But Cauchon’s ideas influenced the early evolution of the profession in Canada and the redevelopment of the national capital after 1945.     

面向规划学科需求的城市社会学教学研究

城市社会学作为规划学科的核心课程,不仅和城市地理学、城市生态学、城市经济学等理论一样能够扩充研究视野和提供技术支撑,而且在我国城市社会转型和规划研究\"社会转向\"的历史情境下,需要肩负起城市规划认知\"社会转型\"的责任,在教学任务上需要明晰城市规划的伦理价值,解释与阐述社会—空间互动规律,提供社会研究经验与方法。由于城市社会学具有空间研究的传统,其学科研究对象与城乡规划学有一定的重合性,因此在教学内容的组织上可以根据后者的社会需求来组织,具体可从属性认知、发展认知和方法认知三方面入手。
