ISSN 2398-9467 INTRODUCTION Rapid Cities – Responsive Architectures This publication is the product of the conference Rapid Cities – Responsive Architectures. A virtual conference examining design, planning & construction in the modern world. November 2020, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The conference call centered around the rapid nature of today’s urban and architectural projects, especially as could be seen within the cities of the Arabian Gulf. From 3D printed villas to rapidly deployed large-scale urban developments and architectures of ‘spectacle,’ the world of design appears to be changing fast and responding to technology and digital fabrication advancements. This change is not only in the construction methods, but it also finds its way into advances in materials, collaboration tools, development regulations, and sustainability measures, to mention a few. So, are we witnessing the dawn of a new era in design and construction? With the Expo 2020 site at its heart, Dubai appears to be the poster city for these new innovations, and an ideal setting for a conference focused on rapid change. The papers included in these proceedings were reflective of these notions and covered some of these diverse and exciting questions and much more. This conference was initially planned to coincide with Expo 2020, yet Covid-19 became a global crisis in early 2020 seemingly overnight and managed to bring the world to a near halt. The conference, therefore, shifted from an on-site event to a virtual platform due to travel and safety concerns. The Expo 2020 itself has been delayed for a year, citing similar concerns. Meanwhile, Covid-19 challenged how we view and interact with the built environment and how we move about it. It also demonstrated that innovation in the built environment and its design and construction is somewhat overdue. The need for hospitals, quarantine facilities, urban green spaces, transport options, and all-new office, work, and housing typologies became immediate. A major rethink of our urban environment is currently underway and is much needed. Major emphasis on urban health, sustainability, and resilience are some of the apparent impacts of the pandemic on the built environment. While some of these themes were reflected in the conference papers, a much bigger debate is currently underway globally. There is no doubt, though, that fast-paced, rapidly designed, and deployed architecture(s) are here to stay, and the future of our cities, urban environments, and design disciplines is likely to be different. Both the conference and the publication were organized by the research organization AMPS, the academic journal Architecture_MPS, and the Department of Architecture at the American University in Dubai.

Suburban growth exploded, with urban sprawl becoming an issue since the early 1980s. Local towns spread out and expanded in scale. Consequently, Dubai could be called ‘Cities within a city,’ representing many fragmented suburban communities connected by automobiles. People often attribute problems with walkability or the limited pedestrian-oriented activities to the harsh weather. Still, severe weather in Dubai lasts roughly four months out of the year, causing people to avoid the outdoors during that period. Nevertheless, the somewhat limited walkability continues throughout the year, even in the nicer weather. Then what is the leading cause of this phenomenon? This paper argues that this limited walkability is not due to weather but due to the urban structure caused by mega-developments in Dubai, which do not consider human scale or local culture. For instance, old districts such as Satwa or Karama have a more compact scale; therefore, pedestrian activities occur naturally. Aggressive adaptation of western-style urbanization completely goes against locally-adapted sustainable design approaches that ancestors have fostered in the city. The narrow alleys (Sikkeek) and the past courtyard houses have been replaced by driveways and fenced-gardens. These drastically changed the structure of communities, therefore, impacting walkability. This issue is a common theme discussed in the thesis courses and sustainability design studios, which I teach at the university. The paper will demonstrate potential design solutions for walkability and enhancing outdoor public space usage within existing urban areas. DUBAI ORIGINS Early Beginnings History indicates that Bani-Yas Tribe moved from today’s Abu Dhabi to an area known as Dubai in the early 19 century and officially established the Emirate of Dubai. The settlement started at the Creekside, where now Al Fahidi district, which the next section will explore, is located. Initially, it was a simple fisherman village and flourished later due to the pearl industry. In this era, the houses stood each other densely, composed of an organic compound in limited areas, and were vernacular in style and made of 1 local materials. However, the pearl industry declined by the world recession and cultured pearl invented in Japan. The oil era began with the discovery of oil in 1958 in Abu Dhabi, to be followed by 1966 in Page AMPS | American University of Dubai Rapid Cities - Responsive Architectures: A conference examining design, planning & construction

  • Spatial Distribution of Economic Activities in Japan and China Masahisa Fujita, J
    Spatial Distribution of Economic Activities in Japan and China Masahisa Fujita, J. Vernon Henderson, Yoshitsugu Kanemoto, Tomoya Mori July 9, 2003 1. Introduction (to be completed) 2. Distribution of Economic Activities in Japan The purpose of this section is to examine the distribution of economic activities in Japan. Rapid economic growth in the 20th century was accompanied by tremendous changes in spatial structure of activities. In Section 2.1, we examine the regional transformations that arose in postwar Japan. Roughly speaking, after WWⅡ the Japanese economy has experienced two phases of major structural changes. For our purpose, the interesting aspect is that each phase of industrial shift has been accompanied with a major transformation in the nationwide regional structure. The Japanese economy now seems to be in the midst of a third one and we offer some conjectures about its possible evolution. Perhaps the most important public policy issues concerning urban agglomeration in Japan is the Tokyo problem. Indeed, Tokyo is probably the largest metropolitan area in the world with a population exceeding 30 million. The dominance of Tokyo has increased steadily over the 20th century, ultimately absorbing a quarter of the Japanese population in 2000. In Section 2.2, we discuss attempts made to test empirically the hypothesis that Tokyo is too big. A test of this kind involves the estimation of urban agglomeration economies and we also review the empirical literature in this area. In Section 2.3, we move to the spatial distribution of industries among cities. Some metro areas have attracted a disproportionately large number of industries, leading to great variations in industrial diversity among metro areas.

    B&T11479_ERIM_Omslag Burger_25juli11 STRUCTURE AND COOPTITION IN URBAN NETWORKS 243 MARTIJN J. BURGER Over the past decades, demographic changes, advances in transportation and com - munication technology, and the growth of the service sector have had a significant impact on the spatial structure of regions. Monocentric cities are disappearing and developing into polycentric metropolitan areas, while at the same time, social and economic processes Structure and Cooptition are taking place at an ever larger geographical scale, beyond that of the city, in which J. BURGERMARTIJN and Cooptition in Urban Networks - Structure historically separate metropolitan areas are becoming increasingly functionally connected in Urban Networks to form polycentric urban regions. Such urban networks are characterised by the lack of an urban hierarchy, a significant degree of spatial integration between different cities and, complementary relationships between centres, in that cities and towns have different economic specialisations. The growing literature on changing urban systems coincides with the increasing popularity of the urban network concept in contemporary spatial planning and policy, in which urban networks are often seen as a panacea for regional economic development problems. Polycentricity and spatial integration have become catchphrases, where poly - centric development policies have been introduced to support territorial cohesion and cooperation as well as higher levels of urban and regional competitiveness.
