ABSTRACT This thesis examines Shanghai’s urbanisation by applying Henri Lefebvre’s theories of the production of space and everyday life. A review of Lefebvre’s theories indicates that each mode of production produces its own space. Capitalism is perpetuated by producing new space and commodifying everyday life. Applying Lefebvre’s regressive-progressive method as a methodological framework, this thesis periodises Shanghai’s history to the ‘semi-feudal, semi-colonial era’, ‘socialist reform era’ and ‘post-socialist reform era’. The Shanghai World Exposition 2010 was chosen as a case study to exemplify how urbanisation shaped urban experience. Empirical data was collected through semi-structured interviews. This thesis argues that Shanghai developed a ‘state-led/-participation mode of production’.

Despite its unfailing popularity and controversial nature, many initiators seem Conceptualize; to equate MEF development with signature architecture, resulting in a persistent issue of China Pavilion; underuse among MEFs in the post-event era. Although research findings indicate that the early Expo 2010 Shanghai stages hold the key to the future of MEFs, insufficient research on this crucial matter has been China; done to provide useful analyses as to how to achieve this. To rectify this, this paper presents a Clustering case study of China Pavilion (CP) as the most spotlighted MEF initiated by Expo 2010 Shanghai China. Through participant observation, archival records, and documentation, the case of CP was extensively explored to learn how the client organization has addressed the issues of form, function, and future positioning at the early stages. By linking the pre-Expo conceptualization with its post-Expo performance, the case brings a renewed attention to the early stages of MEF development. Although it is a single-case study, this research yields results that indicate the possibility of having beneficial spillover impact on broader-scale urban renewal by balancing an MEF’s dual mandate.

  • Vermont History Expo Photographs and News
    Vermont History Expo Photograph & News Media Collection, 2000-2012 FB-79 Introduction This collection contains selected newspaper and magazine articles, professional and amateur photographs, and slides of the Vermont History Expo during the years 2000 through 2012. It is housed in two document storage boxes and three archival storage boxes (3.25 linear feet). The core of the collection was transferred to the VHS Library by Sandra Levesque, Expo Coordinator working under contract to the VHS, in 2007. The remainder of the materials have been added from VHS office files. Organizational Sketch The Vermont Historical Society began hosting the Vermont History Expo at the Tunbridge Fairgrounds in Tunbridge, Vermont, for one weekend each June beginning in 2000. The event featured displays by participating local historical societies, museums, historical organizations, period crafters, demonstrators, and re-enactors. In addition there were historic presentations and speakers, musicians, heirloom animal displays and presentations, an authors’ tent, parade, and country auction. Thousands attended the weekend-long event which was held annually until 2008; the event resumed as a biannual event in 2010. The event had its genesis in the Heritage Weekend sponsored by the Cabot Creamery and the Vermont Historical Society in 1999. This event, an open house of historical societies in Washington and Orange Counties for one weekend in June, grew into the Vermont History Expo the following year. Sandra Levesque was the coordinator hired by the VHS to run the event between 1999 and 2006. The Expo event was preceded by a series of workshops for local historical societies on how to create effective displays.

[email protected] http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.ee.28.2.3048 Hosting mega-events has been regarded as an effective catalyst for city branding. But increasing environmental cost of mega- events has been highlighted recently, which affected local residents’ actual perception. The inconsistence between governments propagandizing benefits from holding mega-events and citizens’ real experience will decrease the real effect of the events. This paper demonstrates the inconsistence by Shanghai example, which is a support to the theory of mega-event impact on city. Shanghai 2010 World Expo officially aimed to improve the quality of life and building a harmonious society, while there are fewer studies focusing on whether the proposed vision is accepted by citizens. This paper explored the influences with a particular focus on residents’ attitudinal survey after the event from December 2010 to February 2011 and 148 respondents were collected. Using structural equation model, the results illustrated that surveyed residents recognized more with 4 dimensions (culture, environment, economic and technology), which reflected the harmony between man and nature, as well as harmony between spiritual and material content.

  • The Effects of Different Actors on Urban Agriculture: a Comparison of the Cities of Zaragoza and Valencia in Spain
    Sustainable Development and Planning VIII 53 The effects of different actors on urban agriculture: a comparison of the cities of Zaragoza and Valencia in Spain K. Sakura Department of Engineering, Architectural Course, Shinshu University, Japan Abstract Urban agriculture is closely watched because of a currently high interest in organic produce, desires for lush green cities, increased leisure activities, and so on. This study clarifies the locations of urban agricultural lands, why these locations were selected, and the functions of urban agricultural areas in two cities in Spain. The study focuses on the efforts of the Benimaclet Neighborhood Association in Valencia, Spain, and those of the Ebro Ambient Center in Zaragoza, Spain, to address these questions. Valencia’s Benimaclet Neighborhood Association is an example of citizen actors, and Zaragoza’s Ebro Ambient Center is an example of municipal government actors. This study finds that the locations and functions of urban agriculture differ by type of actor. The study supports research on the implementation of “the suitable place for urban agriculture” when designing sustainable cities of the future. Keywords: urban agriculture, actor, Valencia, Benimaclet Neighborhood Association, Zaragoza, Ebro Ambient Center. 1 Introduction 1.1 Background and purpose Urban agriculture has been attracting attention from the perspectives of organic farming, clean and safe agricultural produce, a desire for vibrant green cities, and so on. Scholars in the field of urban planning expect urban agriculture to offer alternative uses for vacant lots. The first purpose of this study is to develop that expectation one step further by clarifying where urban agricultural lands are WIT Transactions on Ecology and The Environment, Vol 210, © 2016 WIT Press www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3541 (on-line) doi:10.2495/SDP160051 54 Sustainable Development and Planning VIII located, why those locations are selected, and the part that urban agricultural areas play in modern cities.
