Becoming a Reflective Planning Educator

After a 45-year career as a professor and practitioner of planning, the author reflects on relationships among research, professional practice, and teaching. While his efforts to directly influence public policy through practice often met with limited success at the time, he finds that practice greatly enriched his teaching and his work did eventually influence practice, primarily through the professional work of his students. Because of changing academic culture, junior planning faculty today have far less opportunity to engage in practice than in the past. The education of practitioners is challenged by the growing absence of senior faculty whose research is influenced by practice.

At the Crossroads between Urban Planning and Urban Design: Critical Lessons from Three Italian Case Studies

Planning experiences in Milan, Rome and Bologna are presented as critical laboratories for discussing new directions in research at the crossroads between urban planning and urban design. Drawing on these cases, it is suggested that issues tied to physical design are crucial in managing contemporary planning processes. The medium- and long-term strategy of a city can become effective through the design of a structural and spatial vision that takes into account morphological aspects and coherently prioritizes a set of development projects. Planning codes and urban policy tools can be improved through the preliminary control of typological and morphological requirements. In this sense, typical urban design themes and problems require further attention in both theoretical debates as well as in planning practice.     

Planning and the making of a propertied landscape

Although property is a basic ingredient of planning, its repercussions on the profession have rarely been considered. Building on the critical analysis of property, I argue that planning is giving in to the “property effect,” the unquestioned assumption that natural and built landscapes are propertied. Looking specifically at one case-study of land-use planning in Tibneen (Lebanon), I show planning interventions replicate inequalities embedded in property relations, maintain the dominance of propertied representation of the landscape, and limit possible claims over natural and built landscapes to those formulated within the framework of the ownership model. Consequently, land-use planning determines the possible futures of particular towns and regions through the institutional structures of the property regimes in place and within the historically and geographically contingent political-economies where these regimes operate.

建筑设计与城市规划的协调

现代化城市建设离不开良好的布局与建筑设计。城市是由建筑组成的,好的设计对城市空间的充分利用和资源的节约有着不可估量的作用。文章从城市建筑设计的原则出发,分析了设计与规划的协调发展,并对未来城市建设做出了展望。     

Sustainability Science and Planning: A Crucial Collaboration?

In this age of public skepticism about science, sustainability science offers a way to increase the application of science in planning and policy. This paper explores the relationship between science and society and the emergence of sustainability science. A comparison of the theory and practice of sustainability science and planning reveals the potential for a natural partnership. Based on the analysis, I suggest ways that planning may bridge the gap and build on the opportunity to strengthen its purpose and impact.

Restoring Mill Creek: Landscape Literacy,Environmental Justice and City Planning and Design

Injustices occur when human law and social practice ignore natural processes and when those who plan, design and build the city focus on a neighbourhood's problems and fail to recognize its resources. The story of the Mill Creek neighbourhood in Philadelphia illustrates these themes. Mill Creek is shaped by all the processes at work in inner-city America. It was laid waste by the flow of water and capital, and by the violence of redevelopment and neglect. Known locally as ‘The Bottom’, Mill Creek is one of many such ‘Black Bottoms’ in the US. They are at the bottom, economically, socially and topographically. Here, harsh socio-economic conditions and racial discrimination are exacerbated by health and safety hazards posed by a high water table and unstable ground. Landscape literacy is a means for recognizing and redressing those injustices through urban planning and design and community development, just as verbal literacy was a cornerstone of the American Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s.

规划支持系统:一种运用计算机辅助规划的新方法

规划支持系统(PSS)是许多相关国际学术会议和文献中日益热门的话题,但在国内规划界却鲜有提及.笔者综述了规划支持系统的产生渊源、定义、内容和实践.规划支持系统的产生与国外城市规划界两个认识上的重要变化有关.一是对计算机在城市规划中作用的看法变化,二是对城市规划本体的认识,从"为公众规划"到"与公众一起规划"的变化.尽管现在对规划支持系统还没有一个统一的定义,其功能、结构、形式也各不相同,但规划支持系统还是具有一些重要的共同特征.规划支持系统都是用于支持多方参与规划的方式,都是提供一个规划师、决策者、普通公众之间交流沟通的平台.规划支持系统本身并不做出决策,也不直接推荐出最佳方案,只是在各个阶段规划的过程中提供支持.所以,规划支持系统不是一种在城市规划中新的计算机技术,而是一种在城市规划中应用计算机技术的新途径,一种运用计算机辅助规划的新方法.最后,对现阶段在中国城市规划实践中,如何应用规划支持系统提出了展望和建议.

发展规划:强化规划塑造城市的机制

是社会经济制度塑造城市,而不是规划.规划只能通过社会经济制度间接地塑造城市.由此,人们应该了解转型中的城市建设制度,特殊的转型中城市建设制度决定了城市规划的实践.规划是地方发展政体在城市建设中的工具,代表了发展的利益.经过对制度转型中城市建设的观察,发现良好的城市建设都是规划制约和市场制约相互作用的结果,缺少其中任何一个都会造成不良建设.发展规划的提出旨在强调建设实施,推动规划和市场相互制约的城市建设,在战略上建立城市规划在建设制度中的地位.     

对适应新时期城市规划教育的建议

专业的发展方向由社会需求决定,"一专多能"型的规划人才是当前的社会的需求。在城市规划知识体系设置上,既要防止专业知识的虚化,又要防止传统专业能力的僵化。新时代城市规划教育应注意专业技能训练与素质教育的结合;宏观层面与微观层面规划知识的结合;理论讲授与社会实践的结合。     

中国城市化进程中的规划节能问题

中国城市化面临着环境和资源的巨大挑战。城市节能问题是多个领域交错的综合问题,仅靠建筑节能或单个领域的节能是无法根本解决的,而是需要在城市规划层面上权衡、统筹和协调。本文指出了中国城市发展中的特点,提出了规划节能的主要技术措施,包括产业结构的确定和节能目标的设定,紧凑型、集约型和混合型的空间形态,节能型城市基础设施(能源总线系统),城市气候设计以及以节能为基础的规划理念。     

The Tough Minded and the Tender Minded: A Pragmatic Turn for Sustainable Development Planning and Policy

Among the many approaches being taken to sustainable development planning and policy, a basic dichotomy exists. The dichotomy is the classic one recognized over a century ago by pragmatist philosopher William James—between the tough minded and the tender minded, or in this case, those who trust in more and better information to address sustainability challenges and those who rest on the power of a plurality of voices. In this paper we demonstrate how this dichotomy confounds the construction of a holistic, actionable sustainability planning paradigm, frustrating in pragmatic terms the effort to develop sustainability planning that makes a difference. We argue for an approach to sustainable development grounded in the philosophy of pragmatism as a means to connect tough and tender minded perspectives on sustainability planning, policy and action. After detailing how tough and tender minded temperaments among sustainability advocates translate into different types of understandings and initiatives, a pragmatic framework for a holistic sustainability planning and policy suite is proposed. This framework is argued based on an understanding of pragmatic theories of truth and rationality, integration and a process basis for action, and human experience as a touchstone for public values and action priorities. This article contributes to the growing body of planning scholarship that draws upon pragmatic philosophy, connecting this with the growing body of work within environmental philosophy that highlights the utility of pragmatism in building a philosophy of sustainable development. If planners and members of the democratic public can work towards a common understanding that it is a process of continuous communication and interaction among citizens and experts that needs to be sustained in the push toward sustainable development, that knowledge is to be generated and tested in public contexts, and that stories have standing alongside scientific models and statistics, important moves toward sustainability can be made in the planning profession as a whole.     

理论与实践分离的城市规划

20世纪后半叶以来,西方国家城市规划发展的过程中普遍出现了理论和实践相对分离的趋势.这种趋势对于城市规划的学科发展、从业人员的构成等有着重要的影响,也从很大程度上改变了西方城市规划的学科性质和思考解决问题的方式.文章分析了推动城市规划理论和实践发展的各自因素,回顾了半个世纪以来西方城市规划理论和实践发展的大致历程,并以此为依据分析了我国城市规划面临的问题,并对我国城市规划理论和实践相对独立发展的趋势进行了探讨.
