The hypothesis is that there is a relationship between the two, and that the alteration of the street network with reunification has precipitated a spatial reorganisation of office rents. The identification of an independent spatial variable that can be used to account for the pattern of rent is a key problem in office rent studies. Unlike previously used distances to a point in the Central Business District (CBD) or other destinations, this study uses ‘space syntax’ measures of the morphology of the street network. ‘Global integration’ is used to measure the role of each street within the entire configuration, revealing fundamental changes in the spatial structure of Berlin both with the city’s historical development and with reunification. Whereas most previous office rent studies have used yearly average asking rents per building for a short period, a sample of 412 achieved rents over a 7 year period was collected to control for the influence of lease provisions and the effect of market change over time on rents. The spatial pattern of ‘location rents’ is investigated through visual representations using GIS. Significant variation from street to street and a marked rise from periphery to centre are found. Unlike previous studies, spatial changes over time were investigated: a marked shift in the pattern of rents from West Berlin to the East has occurred in the 7 years following reunification. This shift corresponds to the changing spatial structure of the city revealed in the spatial analysis. Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA) is used to quantify the importance of spatial variables (space syntax measures) in rent determination but also taking non-spatial variables (time, building quality, and lease provisions) into account. The main findings are that rents in West Berlin can be explained by the date of lease commencement (falling with the recession) and the global spatial integration as it was in divided Berlin. In East Berlin the global integration pattern of reunified Berlin is most important and secondly the date of lease commencement. Other variables such as floorspace and lease length are not found to have statistical significance. It is concluded that the change in Berlin’s spatial structure that occurred with reunification led to a spatial reorganisation of prime office rents from the West Berlin CBD into the former East Berlin district of Mitte. It is argued that ‘location value’ will be an emergent property of any spatial system because a differentiated potential for co-presence is created.

Elle s'appuie sur la comparaison de trois quartiers européens et vise ainsi à comprendre l'origine de ce phénomène européen : la gestion des quartiers périphériques par la mise en place de dispositifs participatifs. Après avoir démontré qu'il existe bien une unité de ces expériences malgré leurs formes diverses ― projets opérationnels, instances discursives ― je les mets en regard des mouvements sociaux, de l'après-guerre puis de la fin du XIXème siècle. Il apparaît que des résonances existent, tant dans les discours des acteurs que des types de pratiques : celles-ci sont spécifiques à chaque territoire, à chaque État-nation. Néanmoins ces pratiques se rejoignent par l'exigence démocratique qu'elles portent et qui est particulièrement vive dans ces territoires périphériques. J'aborde ensuite la question de cette relation entre démocratie participative et territoire par l'examen du rôle de l'altérité dans les expériences participatives : déclencheur à l'échelon micro-local, il est aussi facteur de ciblage à l'échelon macro-local. Ce ciblage conduit à la mise en place de politiques de gestion des quartiers périphériques qui s'accompagnent de la mise en place de dispositifs participatifs. L'examen des conflits micro-locaux générés par des pratiques considérées comme « autres » par les participants aux expériences participatives conduit à comprendre en quoi l'échelle du quartier, et tout particulièrement de l'espace intermédiaire, est privilégiée pour mettre en oeuvre la démocratie participative. Enfin, la démocratie participative est remise en perspective de son acception courante, en tant que méthodologie accompagnant des politiques de cohésion sociale ou de gestion des quartiers périphériques : il s'agit alors de soupeser les attendus de telles politiques, et de voir en quoi elles sont compatibles avec les exigences de la démocratie participative.

Not only has the right formula to be found of how to satisy the escalating demand, both in terms of quantity and quality, but also of where to locate such housing. The New Cities and Settlements in the desert seem to be the only option left in order to combat the continuous loss of the agricultural land to the expanding existing urban centres. The New Cities however, initiated in the late 70's, failed to attract the low income groups of settlers. This was mainly due to the lack of affordable housing for such groups. Whilst thousands of finished residential units remain unoccupied, the workers employed in some of the New Cities' factories are commuting on a daily basis to and from the closest urban or agricultural centres near Cairo. This research argues that aided self-help and user interventions in general could offer an appropriate answer. When most of the New Cities and Settlements were planned many self-help schemes were proposed but were frequently abandoned in favour of the conventional medium rise mass housing approach. Little or no research has been carried out to evaluate the very few schemes which were implemented. The decision to cancel self-help schemes was entirely political and seemed to stem from the governments fear of the creation of sub-standard and poor image built environments within the New Cities. The research based its defence on projects which allow user interventions and participation in two Case Studies. The first concerns multi-storey extensions informally built by the residents in 5 storey walk-up public housing flats located in Heiwan and El Tebeen. The second deals with a core housing project located in The Tenth of Ramadan, one of the New Cities. The multi-storey extensions of Helwan and El Tebeen provided clear . evidence on the potentialities and capabilities of low income users working and living in positive and supportive circumstances. The Tenth of Ramadan Core Housing Scheme provides explicit and substantiated proof of the benefits of self-help and user intervention approaches, in contrast to the views of the Government and Local Authority who condemn the process as negative development leading to a lowering of standards and poor quality environments. The research argues that self-help has succeeded where the mass housing approach has failed.The involvement of the household and community group are seen as integral decison makers in the planning and design process. The user's efforts to transform and consolidate their housing requirements should be appreciated and encouraged and to achieve this the research concludes that a review of management and design procedures would be the first step towards achieving this aim.

Sociologists have tended to dominate in the construction of "overviews" of the social history of religion. This study seeks to contribute to the historiography of modern religion and, in particular, secularisation.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1965 Description An account of the resource The origins of this volume lie in a period of three years' attachment to the Geography Department of the University of Durham as a reasearch student. Of this period a total of about fourteen months was spent carrying out field work and collecting data in Iran, whilst the remainder of the time was spent in acquiring an elementary knowledge of the Persian language, in learning some basic statistical techniques, and in analysing the data and writing up the results. The choice of the field of research was made on the basis of three main interests - urban studies, the application of quantitative techniques to geography, and the Middle East as a region, fostered by training in Durham both as a research student and an undergraduate. More specifically the subject was chosen as a contribution to what appears to be a relatively neglected field of urban studies - that is, the study of cities outside Europe and North America, and the relationship between urbanisation and socio-economic development in underdeveloped areas. It would appear that by far the greater part of urban research has been directed at cities of one particular culture area (Europe and North America) and both research techniques and generalisation about the nature of cities are as a result limited in scope by this. Yet 55% to 60% of the world's "urban" population lives in cities outside Europe and north America, so that the consideration of such cities is clearly of some importance.

Announced as a ‘step change’ in urban policy to overcome problems of low demand and abandonment experienced most acutely in nine former industrial towns and cities in the north and midlands of England, the Sustainable Communities Plan (SCP) (ODPM, 2003a) involves the demolition and relocation of mainly white, working class inner-urban communities. This thesis focuses on a year long moment in the process of regeneration in one such HMRP in North East England, known as ‘Bridging NewcastleGateshead’ (BNG) and draws from rich, detailed ethnographic case studies of three former industrial communities. Originally, the thesis draws together critical engagements with the concepts of space, governance, community, sustainability and materiality to develop a relational understanding of urban regeneration. Starting with an understanding of ‘spaces of regeneration’ as spaces in the process of becoming this perspective moves beyond normative, prescriptive understandings of spaces as static and contained and subject to the process of spatial regulation from above i.e. power over. Rather than a straightforward process of spatial regulation to transform people and places, the process of regeneration involves uncertainties, negotiations, contestations and emotions between the multiple social, material, economic and environmental networks. The thesis has drawn together urban theories and empirical evidence (including historical and contemporary policy analysis as well as a range of qualitative methods) to illustrate the relational transformation of people and places. Governmentality provides the main conceptual framework. This leads to an in-depth exploration of the rationalities and technologies of urban regeneration from three perspectives in the empirical chapters - governing communities, demolishing communities and transforming communities.

Building on Henri Lefebvre's work, we know architecture in terms of conceptual space, perceived space, and lived-in space, which supplies multiple levels of meaning. As we use a city, we enact spatial narratives, myths, and metaphors that weave our lives and experiences into a place. Through spatial practices, we gain a sense of identity, a sense of power, and a sense of publicness, which are analyzed in three extended examples: the new town of Seaside, Florida, the redevelopment of the World Trade Center site at Ground Zero, and the National Mall in Washington D.C., respectively. While a city reflects society as a deeply cultivated symbol system, we are constituted by and reciprocally shape the city and architecture.

Although there is increasing support for community coalitions, there is limited evidence of their effectiveness in facilitating change and improvement in communities. This study presents an empirical community-level case study of the change process of a community coalition, the Ivanhoe Neighborhood Council. It systematically examines the unfolding of community changes (i.e., new or modified programs, policies, and practices) to improve neighborhood conditions in a declining neighborhood in Kansas City, Missouri. Using an empirical case study design, it examines the implementation of the community change framework and 12 related community processes to support the facilitation of community changes by the Ivanhoe Neighborhood Council from 1999 to 2002. The results suggests that the Ivanhoe Neighborhood Council was effective in implementing community changes; and these changes were associated with modest improvements in targeted outcomes particularly related to housing and crime. Implementation of the community change framework was associated with accelerated rates of community change and enhanced the capacity of the community coalition to facilitate change and improvement in the declining neighborhood. The results suggest that the community processes may be important to facilitating community change, and, perhaps ultimately community improvement.

While the Petersburg Text in V.N. Toporov's formulation has become a commonplace of Russian literary criticism, a typologically equivalent "Moscow Text" has repeatedly been dismissed. This study outlines the common arguments for dismissing a "Moscow Text," suggests counter arguments, and proposes a model for analyzing Moscow space as a text in literary texts. The model is then used to prove the thesis that Moscow space functions as a text in M.A. Bulgakov's Master and Margarita. Three prominent loci within the Moscow of Master and Margarita demonstrate the textuality of urban space in literary texts: the monument to Pushkin on Tverskoi Boulevard, Margarita's Mansion, and the Spring Ball of the Full Moon. Bulgakov cites the historical realia and the literary texts associated with Moscow's monument to Pushkin to develop the theme of the poet in the novel. The semiotic principle of "labyrinthine Moscow" (moskovskaia putanitsa) enables Bulgakov to build the mysterious and ambivalent mansion (osobniak) that plays a central role in the paths of Margarita and Ivan throughout the novel. Turn-of-the-century photographs from the Sandunov Bathhouses uncover an additional layer of Moscow imagery at the Spring Ball of the Full Moon that reinforces plot connections between the Moscow, Iershalaim, and Phantasmagorical settings in the novel. Analyses of these loci demonstrate Bulgakov's uses of the textual dimensions of Moscow space to represent the struggle between the humanist and those in power (vlast') and contemplate the limits of artistic and personal freedom (volia).

The urban crisis became the catch-all name for these hard times across America. The confluence of race riots, suburbanization, urban blight, deindustrialization, the decline of retail corridors, a rising crime rate, perceived declines in the quality of public education, financial crises in city governments, increased racial tensions contributed to the pervasive sense that cities in America were no longer vital places. While the origins of the urban crisis have been located in the 1940s, the development of a narrative of urban decline gathered strength in Philadelphia after the riots of the summer of 1964. The power of narrative concretely shaped life during the urban crisis. The Jewish community played a special role the history of American cities as one of America’s most urban-centric people. In the postwar era and especially after the urban crisis of 1960s and 1970s, they became one of the nation’s most suburban groups. In Philadelphia, the African-American community followed a similar path of migration from inner-city neighborhoods toward the suburbs as the Jewish community. This created tension between the two groups as Jews were often the only whites in black communities during the urban crisis. Jews ran many of the stores and served as landlords. They also worked as teachers and social workers in the poor black neighborhoods. In the reports that followed the riots of 1960s, the Jewish merchant and landlord of the inner city were often taken to task for profiting off of the poor. One part of the response of the Jewish community in Philadelphia was to facilitate the removal of Jewish merchants from inner-city neighborhoods.

The growing perception that the America’s inner city public schools were failing the city’s youth provided another strong reason for many to leave the city for the suburbs.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2005 Description An account of the resource Historical research has provided scholars with a strong foundation for understanding the sport-city nexus in American culture. These studies have focused primarily on two distinct eras. The first links the rise of modern sporting and leisure practices with the birth of the American metropolis from the early nineteenth century to the early-to-mid twentieth century. The works of Melvin Adelman, Stephen Hardy, Steven Riess, and Gerald Gems have enriched this area with studies on sports growth in some of the key American metropolises at the turn of the past century: New York, Boston, and Chicago. The second area of study reflects the evolution of American professional sport as a business following World War II. These studies documented cases of league expansion, franchise relocation, and stadium construction in a specific city. Socio-cultural research addressing sport and the city has tended to look more at community-based issues for the aforementioned themes. Missing from these scholarly treatments is an examination of the plight of the postwar American city undergoing urban decline and the place of professional sport within that context. Looking at Cleveland, this study revisits the questions used in the existing body of sport-city scholarship to see if and how they can be translated to the modern city in decline. The intersection of sport and city addresses issues of civic policy, local economics, and racial relations as found in scholarly works, city records, newspapers, and archived manuscript collections. This study also examines the creation of civic image through the presence of professional sports and the meanings extracted from that image, as seen in Cleveland’s shift from “The City of Champions” to the “Mistake on the Lake.” Furthermore, the Wirth-Hardy categories of the city—physical structure, social organization, and shared beliefs—and Isenberg’s argument that human actors were at the core of downtown’s decline frame visions of the city. These underlying notions balance the examination of tangible and intangible evidence to create a more complete understanding of professional sport’s relationship to Cleveland.

Specifically, how new power structures are struggled over and negotiated in people’s everyday lives. This work centers on a recently implemented entrepreneurial policy in Mexico City called the Programa de Rescate (The Rescue Program). The prime objective of the policy is to revitalize the streets, buildings, and central plaza of the city’s Historic Center. Although this policy seeks an improvement in the quality of life for the local population, it excludes particular forms of social interaction that are central to the well-being of a large sector of the population, particularly street vendors who rely on public spaces for their daily survival. Much of the existing literature that focuses on socio-spatial exclusion in an entrepreneurial context has emphasized new structures of power and problems posed to excluded groups. However, I argue that despite the constraints placed upon different groups of affected citizens, excluded groups develop survival strategies that enable them to maintain a livelihood and in some cases empower them to thrive. Further, I question conventional thinking that views the state as monolithic and necessarily constraining to marginalized groups and certain (formal and informal) businesses. Rather, I show that state practices are shaped by different social groups, including those sectors of society who are typically viewed as excluded and disempowered. Through a historical analysis of the Mexican state, I show that excluded groups have managed to tap into the state and thus exert influence over the shape and workings of state policies. By analyzing a particular type of public space in the Latin American context – the plaza – my research asks if these spaces have been reconstituted physically or symbolically and if so, how. I critically synthesize Latin American literatures on the plaza and entrepreneurial urban governance; I connect this synthesis with the European and US literature on entrepreneurial urban governance and shed light on processes that this literature has overlooked; and I recast entrepreneurial urban governance by focusing on the role of agency and the multiple ways in which power is practiced by different social groups in everyday life.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2011 Description An account of the resource This dissertation focuses on the Roman city of Augusta Emerita, modern Mérida, Spain, as a case study for understanding changes in the culture, economy, and society of Hispania in late antiquity. The evidence presented here shows that some of the major cultural shifts that appear in the archaeological record for the sixth and seventh centuries have their roots in the fourth century, when Emerita was still fully integrated into the Roman Empire. This evidence also shows that Visigothic period residents were driven by a different set of values and interests from those that inspired urban investment in the Roman period, while the wealthy Christian hierarchy was a key stabilizing force throughout the Late Antique period. A presentation of the physical setting and the infrastructure of the Roman city serves as the foundation for my analysis of the ancient city of Emerita. Public buildings were important venues for elite display, at times even receiving attention from provincial and imperial officials, especially in the early Roman period. In the Late Roman period, the class that had built the Roman face of the city was also instrumental in the de-Romanization of Emerita, by permitting or even participating in the deconstruction and privatization of the public monuments and spaces. For the Visigothic period, archaeological and textual evidence, including the Vitae Patrum Emeritensium, both point to shifting venues for elite investment, away from structures associated with traditional Roman identity to those associated with Christianity. The elite of Visigothic Emerita expressed and enhanced their status not through further contributions to the city’s Roman identity, but through new contributions to the promotion of Christian ideals. My unprecedented analysis of the ceramic record from a cross-section of Emerita’s late antique sites has allowed me to provide new insights into changing trade networks, dining habits, and the technology of pottery production. I have included a discussion of the potential causes for, and ramifications of, these changes, in order to flesh out the image of the city that is cast by architectural remains and written sources. By offering a comprehensive analysis of the available evidence, this dissertation goes beyond the narrative of decline and stagnation that often frames discussion of the late antique West.

Le cinéma ne fait pas que reproduire, il crée et il a appris à utiliser ces codes et ces mécanismes, notamment pour représenter la ville. L’étude du cinéma peut ouvrir aux urbanistes et aux professionnels de l’aménagement, de nouveaux champs de scientificité sur le plan de la représentation et de la perception comme partage du réel de la ville. La ville et le cinéma doivent alors être vus comme un spectacle dans son acception herméneutique, et de ce spectacle il devient possible d’en faire émerger un paradigme ; ou dit autrement, the basic belief system or worldview that guides the investigator, not only in choices of methods but in ontologically and episemologically fundamental ways. (Guba & Lincoln, 1994) Ce paradigme, que nous proposons de décrire, de modéliser et dont nous montrons les fonctions conceptuelles ; nous le désignons comme la Ville idéelle.

Cette construction contemporaine des paysages fluviaux influe sur l'imaginaire et les formes urbaines, jusque dans certaines villes nord méditerranéennes, qui se sont historiquement protégées et distanciées de leurs cours d'eau torrentiels. Ce phénomène révèle-t-il un renouvellement des manières de concevoir l'aménagement urbain, voire "l'urbain" même ? L'hypothèse de recherche défend en effet l'idée que le fleuve est en passe de jouer un rôle structurant dans certaines villes du Midi français, en initiant leurs stratégies de développement. Nous cherchons à vérifier cette idée par une étude approfondie des projets relatifs aux paysages fluviaux de Perpignan et de Montpellier : description des pratiques d'aménagement du fleuve, de ses transformations matérielles, et des discours écrits et oraux (recueillis dans la presse, les documents de projets, et les entretiens réalisés). Les résultats montrent que le fleuve n'est plus une frontière, mais une nouvelle centralité urbaine. Au coeur des stratégies urbaines, il remplit désormais une fonction d'infrastructure paysagère et est reconnu comme patrimoine biologique et paysager. La ville est perçue comme "renaturée" par le fleuve, qui lui apporte une matérialité végétale authentique, ainsi qu'un repère géographique fondamental. Mais l'attractivité urbaine du front d'eau prend-elle suffisamment en compte les spécificités physiques de ces fleuves, et notamment leurs besoins d'expansion ? Quelles sont les limites du passage de ces cours d'eau comme biens de production, au symbole de nature qu'ils sont désormais devenus ?

Los rumbos y decisiones de vida, el ingreso en la universidad, el autoimagen frente a los compañeros, la sensación de inclusión y exclusión en el ambiente universitario y el tránsito físico y simbólico entre las diferentes fronteras de Río de Janeiro son los temas discutidos en esta investigación. A lo largo de las reflexiones, la ciudad emerge como una instancia privilegiada de observación, pues si por una parte, es contenedora de diferentes formas de existencia y subjetividades, por otra, también figura como productora y organizadora de dichas subjetividades.

It is argued that localism continued to be an important dimension of social and political experience in this period for businessmen, employers and workers. The development of modern industrial relations and welfare policies in industry gave employers a renewed interest in their location of operations. Depression and decline in the private enterprise economy made municipal intervention important to both the lower middle class and the working class. At the same time central governments expanded the role of local authorities by giving them more mandatory responsibilities and greater funding. A public culture developed in Northampton which stressed service to the common interest and meritocratic leadership. In this context the Labour Party was able to gain some legitimate authority in the town community. Its leaders were accorded a grudging acceptance in the meritocracy. The ethos of public and political life was reflected in neighbourhood and workplace experience. Most Northamptonians defined their social identity in terms of citizenship rather than class. However, there were a number of social, economic and industrial factors which produced a crisis in the 1933 to 1935 period. That crisis increased Labour support and led to abstention by many non-Labour voters. A different approach to the study of society and politics in Britain from 1918 to 1939 is advocated on the basis of the Northampton evidence. It is noted that there already exists considerable material showing that there was a wide range of difference in local response to government social policy. It is also argued that the Labour Party's philosophy and electoral performance during these years may owe more to community influences than has previously been acknowledged.

My argument is that both established and emerging hegemonic representations of the city of Istanbul presume a normative definition of the capitalist production of urban space based only on the use and exchange values of space; and they fail to consider what I propose to call “the misuse value of space.” I define the misuse value of space as a potential value that is activated by the spatial practices of misusers. Considering the ways in which the normative definition of the production of space in Istanbul is complicated by the inhabitants of the city through their spatial practices of misuse, I find that the inhabitants are not merely passive consumers of the spaces of the metropolis but they have an active and constitutive role in molding the shape of urban social space. This entails a discussion on spatial authorship, which is normatively supposed to belong to the authorities including urban designers, real estate developers and the state. To show how the spatial practices of misusers are also implicated in the production of space in Istanbul, I turn to a set of vignettes, which I call ethnographies of spatial authorship. Finally, I focus on the art collective Oda Projesi and their public artworks which take inspiration from actual misuses in Istanbul. I explore the ways in which the public art of Oda Projesi rely on an activation of the misuse value of space. My dissertation closes with a demonstration of how Oda Projesi demonstrates the political possibilities that generate from this activation.
