Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper describes the threshold analysis for economic growth developed by Boleslaw Malisz in the 1960’s reflecting the city and region planning debates in Poland and Great Britain at that time. Malisz developed a simple method for growth that considers the rational use of all options, natural and man-made. Discussed first are the spatial limitations that arise during the process of development and renewal of city structures. Malisz’s method helps select the best solutions that limit barriers that impede the process of planning with the lowest threshold costs. His method applies to the range of investments that are linked to fixed expenditures made with the aim to increase the existing capacity of resources. These thresholds affect the costs of adapting the material environment to city development. Typically, large studies are undertaken either to build new city areas increasing the number of inhabitants or alternatively, raise the standard of existing areas through renewal. Yet another kind of big investment is the revitalization of a city’s post industrial areas.This paper then discusses the differentiation between threshold costs and the “normal” costs of city investments. Threshold costs are relatively fixed and are not location dependent. Malisz distinguished between threshold costs and low, but rising costs that result from worsening site development aspects, from those of “jumping costs” which involve one-time expenditures to be borne at fixed moments. Site exploitation costs should be also considered. Typically, the threshold costs together with exploitation costs must be reduced to achieve effective economic investments. Finally, the differences between the identification of threshold limitations and the strategy of overcoming thresholds are explained. Good examples of overcoming threshold costs for further investments are provided. These include: the building of Rotterdam’s Erasmus Bridge connecting the city with its post industrial areas and Bytom’s renovation of its main square, buildings, technical infrastructure and communication system to stimulate new planning in cooperation with IBA Emscher Park. Yet another sample is building of the light rail and streetcar public transportation systems in Portland, Oregon, USA to connect city districts providing better access to the city center. Such strategies underscore the larger benefits of leveraging strategic public investments to stimulate private growth and urban vitality.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In the current environment of rapid global change, the ability to achieve stable sustainable development is a difficult challenge. This is due to often uncontrolled and spontaneous social, economic and environmental change in cities. Sustainable Development is socially desirable because it is rightly assumed to be a positive evolution. Yet the realities behind achieving such goals contain many limitations as well as conflicting and contradictory interests. As a result of democratic and free market economic changes in Poland since 1989, Polish cities and urban settlements seem to be overcoming inherited environmental, economic and social limitations and moving towards more integrated development. However, ongoing conflicts, barriers and the inability to realize desired development thresholds continue to remain significant challenges.Successful development planning is severely constrained when undertaken without recognizing all relevant environmental, social and economic limitations. While the process of planning is neither completely determinate nor absolute, these limitations do cause discontinuities. These breaks in the development process often result in delays or even the inability to complete projects. This strategic planning would tie up structural conditions, strategic goals, development directions, rules and the space management. This planning must follow a search for more appropriate methods and tools to select solutions that reduce barriers to successful development, methods that allow planning with the lowest economic, environmental, and social costs (i.e. the threshold analysis developed by Bolesław Malisz in the 1960's).

Urban Development and Transformation of Post-industrial Areas of Gothenburg – Case of Frihamnen and Ringön.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Gothenburg is the second-largest city in Sweden, capital of Västra Götaland County Region. It is situated on the west coast of Sweden with the port area located along the Göta Älv River. Due to economic restructuring, waterfront redevelopment emerges as an attractive option to boost economic growth of the city. The aim of this paper is to shed light on conditions of the transformation process of two neighboring areas: Frihamnen and Ringön. Publicly initiated and privately executed waterfront redevelopment in Gothenburg transforms industrial grounds into residential and service oriented areas in Eriksberg, Lindholmen and Frihamnen. The collaborative process of a “developer dialogue” crafts a redevelopment in a consistent way with taking into consideration city’s long-term planning strategy, specifi c needs and opportunities of the neighbourhoods, but also market and fi nancial realities of development community. Another example is a slow and spontaneous transformation of post-industrial areas in Ringön, where still active small industrial fi rms, services, cultural and artistic initiatives take place in the close proximity to the city centre. Results show the waterfront transformation attracts “developers’ dialogue” giving the opportunity to build a coherence for spatial, environmental and socio-economic development. Yet fragmented redevelopment of brownfi eld areas strengthen polarization between dynamic and carefully planned Frihamnen and spontaneously growing Ringön. This paper contributes to the knowledge on the complexity of urban post-industrial transformation.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The project presented aims to develop knowledge about the history of the Basilica of Saints Cosmas and Damian in Rome in the form of visualization. The concept described is an attempt to exploit the advantages of visual representation offered by information technology in the study of historical monuments. The issues related to computer visualization of cultural heritage indicate a need to establish a reference model for the project, which will increase the sustainability of its results and facilitate access to them. Implementation of this model in the database of source materials, which is discussed in the text, forms a documentation of the current state of work. Particular attention was given to resources essential for understanding of spatial relationships in the building, such as iconographic and historical descriptions of the basilica. This survey determined that extensive material exists, which can provide data for the visualization.
