DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION THE CHAMBER OF ARCHITECTS OF TURKEY TURKEY CHAMBER OF URBAN PLANNERS THE BUILDING INFORMATION CENTRE SAKIP SABANCI MUSEUM VEHBİ KOÇ FOUNDATION WELLCOME NOTES Welcome Note from The Mayor of Istanbul Opening Remarks by the President of Istanbul Technical University Distinguished Professors, Colleagues and Guests, Good Morning. On behalf of 2,200 faculty members and 25,000 students, it is a pleasure to welcome you to the Istanbul Technical University, for the “14th International Planning History Society Conference” on Urban Transformation: Controversies, Contrasts and Challenges”. I am certain the dynamic discussions awaiting you the next few days will make this event a most enlightening one. Our University, established in 1773, is one of the oldest and largest Technical Universities of the region. We have a strong tradition in education and research. We believe in excellence in all our programs. Our global awareness of the need for quality in education prompted our cooperation with world organizations such as ABET and NAAB. We currently have 21 engineering programs which have been awarded the ABET certificate of equivalency. We are now in the process of applying for full accreditation this year for 23 engineering programs. We are also a leader in Turkey, with 12 Dual Diploma Programs with Universities in the United States. I am also proud to tell you that our Universities Technopark is the leading technopark of our country. It hosts more than 70 international corporations covering the complete spectrum of science and technology. These corporations, the most able groups in our Country, provide the most valuable and largest number of patents which define the future of scientific developments. ITU maintains a leading position in science and technology as a pioneer through the ages. Over the course of these past 2 years, we have proudly initiated revolutionary change within the University. A change that is being accepted and shown as a model for other Turkish Universities. The Istanbul Technical University is an institution of higher education that is celebrating its 237th academic year - a year that will be remembered by both students and faculty members. The University Senate has approved an addition and change to the traditional Turkish language of instruction with 30 percent English courses, to new degree programs taught entirely in English. This Fall, we will welcome students into these new programs, as we believe in the value of globalization. Today, we are gathered to address one of the major issues of our society: urban transformation. Increased globalization has resulted in the widespread necessity for urban transformation initiatives, which, in turn, have led to challenges in many areas affecting our society. I applaud you for your quest to address these challenges. The discussions that will take place over the course of the next few days are critical, and will assist educators and policy makers all around the world, for the future. I invite all the participants to enjoy the cultural and historical aspects of the beautiful city of Istanbul, the 2010 European Capital of Culture. Again, I welcome you all to our campus. I hope you will have a chance to meet our faculty members and that your deliberations are fruitful. Thank you. Professor Dr. Muhammed Şahin, Rector Welcome Message from the Dean of Faculty of Architecture (ITU) The Faculty of Architecture Istanbul Technical University is very pleased to host 14th International Planning History Society Conference 2010 Istanbul “Urban Transformation: Controversies, Contrasts and Challenges” in its building Taşkışla. Istanbul Technical University Faculty of Architecture has 5 departments in undergraduate level and 16 master degree and 7 PhD programs in different graduate schools of ITU. Architecture, Urban and Regional Planning, Industrial Product Design, Interior Architecture, Landscape Architecture are the four years undergraduate programs. Architecture program was evaluated as “substantially equivalent” by NAAB for 6 years in 2007. Urban and Regional Planning Department was established in 1982 formally, however planning units in the Faculty of Architecture at ITU start to work in early 20th Century. The faculty members of Urban and Regional Planning Department have courses and supervise thesis in four master degree programs. These are Urban Planning, Regional Planning, Urban Design, Real Estate Development master degree programs. The doctorate program on Urban and Regional Planning serve to educate new researchers and academicians in the area as the oldest doctorate program in Turkey. 191 PhD students in graduate programs of architecture and 60 PhD students in Urban and Regional PhD program are continuing their education at Graduate School of Science, Engineering and Technology of ITU. Totally 50 PhD students (That means %20 of total PhD Students) work on the subjects related with theme of this symposium which is Urban Transformation. Since Turkey and especially Istanbul has old building stock and these buildings and the urban environment affected by urban change and transformation. It is a great pleasure to host the important and distinguished conferences and their participants in ITU Faculty of Architecture especially at 2010 as the year of European Cultural Capital for Istanbul. Prof. Dr. Orhan HACIHASANOĞLU Dean ITU Faculty of Architecture Wellcome Message from the IPHS 2010 Convenor 14th International Planning History Society Conference will take place in Istanbul, between the dates July 12-15 2010 in a city which has been the cradle of civilizations with eight thousand years of history and a geographical focal point of all humanity. The conference addresses the theme of “Urban Transformation: Controversies, Contrasts and Challenges”. Urban transformation, as one of the major issues throughout planning history, has been attached new dimensions within the context of rapid globalization especially during the last two decades. It is of major importance today to share professional and academic knowledge and expertise across the world in order to deal with controversies, contrasts and challenges that cities have been facing for a sustainable future. Istanbul, one of the largest cities in the world, once the focal point of the worldwide trading, and capital city for Byzantine, Roman, and Ottoman Empires, and chosen as European Capital of Culture for 2010 has been in transition throughout its more than eight thousand years of history. The choice of Istanbul as the conference city provides an excellent venue for the conference theme with its massive expansion and transformation processes throughout its history to explore different aspects of transformation in planning history not only for Istanbul but also across the world. The conference is considered to be a major contribution to Istanbul’s present and future urban transformation process. The conference theme seeks to provide a window for a broad investigation of urban transformation aspects in planning history, engaging sub-themes of urban transformation in the planning history with emerging concepts, planning cultures and planning models; urban transformation strategies, policies, tools, urban management and governance; urban transformation and the urban space (urban form and architecture, urban transformation in heritage sites, landscapes, waterfronts, and public spaces, etc.); urban transformation and land use (housing and squatter settlements, commercial and industrial districts, transportation and infrastructure); urban transformation and the society (social inclusion, social justice, urban poverty, gentrification); urban transformation and the economy (political economy of urban transformation, financial arrangements in urban transformation); urban transformation and the environment (sustainable transformation, green interventions, disaster management, etc.). This conference is made of the valuable contributions of researchers and practitioners from many parts of the world. There are 410 participants coming from 42 different countries including 4 continents of the world.

  • WVCC Submission Draft Woden Town Centre Master Plan
    Submission Draft Master Plan for Woden Town Centre (2015) PO Box 280 Woden ACT 2606; e-mail: [email protected] www.wvcc.org.au Facebook: /WodenValleyCommunityCouncil Twitter: WVCC_Inc WVCC submission on the Draft Master Plan for Woden Town Centre (2015) The Woden Valley Community Council (WVCC) is a non-political, voluntary lobby group for the Woden Valley community. We focus on a wide range of issues such as planning, community facilities and infrastructure, parks and open space, public transport, parking, education, the environment and health. Community Councils are officially recognised by the ACT Government and are consulted by government on issues affecting our communities. History The WVCC was formed in 2001 as work begun on the Woden Town Master Plan which was subsequently released in 2004. The WVCC invested a significant amount of work into the development of the 2004 Master Plan, however it was not incorporated into the Territory plan and had ‘No statutory status’. After some ad hoc development proposals at various sites around the Woden town centre over the years that were not compliant with the 2004 Master Plan, we welcomed the announcement that a new master plan planning process would start. Consultation with the WVCC started in late 2012 with the Environment and Planning Directorate (EPD) presenting at several WVCC public meetings on this issue. WVCC appreciates the extensive community consultation that preceded the Draft Plan, the results of which have been helpfully consolidated and recorded in the Community Engagement Report Stage1) of October 2014. One issue of concern to the WVCC is that a community stakeholder workshop, similar to the meeting held with lessees and traders, was not conducted.

  • Mr Andrew Barr MLA Chief Minister GPO Box 1020 CANBERRA ACT 2601
    Mr Andrew Barr MLA Chief Minister GPO Box 1020 CANBERRA ACT 2601 Dear Chief Minister Request for the ACT Government to purchase Borrowdale House and Bank House in Woden We are writing about the impact the proposed W2 development will have on Woden’s focal point and civic area (the east west connection from the transport interchange, through the Town Square to the Library) and the diminishing ability to deliver the vision in the Master Plan for the Town Square to be the centre for social and community activity in the Town Centre. With significant population growth in and around the Town Centre, Woden is doing its share of urban infill with 25 residential towers and around 10,000 people earmarked for the Centre to date. To maintain our quality of life and encourage downsizing to the Centre (freeing up housing stock), we request that a land use plan is developed to balance homes, jobs, public spaces and community facilities to ensure that the Town Centre becomes an attractive urban hub servicing the needs of much of the population in Canberra’s south. For the Town Square to be the focal point for social and community activity it needs to be sunny and have anchor buildings such as the CIT and an arts/cultural/community centre on its perimeter to attract people to it again and again. It needs to be a place that can host events and live music to support business activity without residents complaining. A focal point is supposed to be the ‘beating heart’ of the centre that creates an identity and a sense of belonging for the well-being of residents.

The key points of our submission are as follows: 1. The Planning Institute of Australia (PIA) supports investment in public transport to diversify transport options and provide transport choice. 2. The proposal to create the light rail network as part of the National Triangle and through the Parliamentary Zone is within an area of national significance. 3. The Commonwealth, via the National Capital Authority has planning responsibility for Designated Areas, recognised as areas of national significance. The design quality, breadth of consultation and planning outcomes should represent the significance of the area, in particular the Parliamentary Zone. 4. The National Triangle framed by Commonwealth Avenue, Constitution Avenue and Kings Avenue (including City south, Russell and the Parliamentary Zone) is the centre of the public transport network, providing connections to the rest of the Canberra network. Connecting light rail to the Parliamentary Zone south of the lake also opens up future corridors in Canberra’s south. 5. The PIA supports long term infrastructure planning that integrates land use and transport and is informed by strategic planning and high quality urban design.

  • The Evolution of Town Planning Ideas, Plans and Their Implementation in Kampala City 1903-2004
    School of Built Environment, CEDAT Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda and School of Architecture and the Built Environment Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden The Evolution of Town Planning Ideas, Plans and their Implementation in Kampala City 1903-2004 Fredrick Omolo-Okalebo Doctoral Thesis in Infrastructure, Planning and Implementation Stockholm 2011 i ABSTRACT Title: Evolution of Town Planning Ideas, Plans and their Implementation in Kampala City 1903-2004 Through a descriptive and exploratory approach, and by review and deduction of archival and documentary resources, supplemented by empirical evidence from case studies, this thesis traces, analyses and describes the historic trajectory of planning events in Kampala City, Uganda, since the inception of modern town planning in 1903, and runs through the various planning episodes of 1912, 1919, 1930, 1951, 1972 and 1994. The planning ideas at interplay in each planning period and their expression in planning schemes vis-à-vis spatial outcomes form the major focus. The study results show the existence of two distinct landscapes; Mengo for the Native Baganda peoples and Kampala for the Europeans, a dualism that existed for much of the period before 1968. Modern town planning was particularly applied to the colonial city while the native city grew with little attempts to planning. Four main ideas are identified as having informed planning and transformed Kampala – first, the utopian ideals of the century; secondly, “the mosquito theory” and the general health concern and fear of catching „native‟ diseases – malaria and plague; thirdly, racial segregation and fourth, an influx of migrant labour into Kampala City, and attempts to meet an expanding urban need in the immediate post war years and after independence in 1962 saw the transfer and/or the transposition of the modernist and in particular, of the new towns planning ideas – which were particularly expressed in the plans of 1963-1968 by the United Nations Planning Mission.
