- This paper explores evidence that entrepreneurial opportunities for migrants and other lower-income populations can be expanded in part through increasing the presence of fine-grained scales of plots and plates along main streets, as part of a systematic urban design strategy. It describes that systematic strategy herein. The paper encompasses the study of three main streets with varying plot sizes in the inner city of Stockholm, Sweden, and examines the outcomes for different types and scales of businesses. After presenting the findings, analysis and conclusions, larger questions of urban design for more inclusive economies are discussed.

The urban data deluge : challenges for smart urban planning in the third data revolution
- 2020
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Urban Sciences. - : Routledge. - 1226-5934 .- 2161-6779.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Effective urban planning is increasingly affected and governed by the current information society. This paper argues that the so-called third data revolution creates unprecedented challenges for sustainable city policy in the digital age. Three types of data revolutions are distinguished in this paper. The nowadays popular notion of smart cities may be helpful to enhance the cognitive quality of urban policy-making, but leads also to new issues on complex data handling in the modern age of social media and digital information systems. The various issues at stake are outlined in this paper, while this study is concluded with a sketch of the contours of a so-called smart city policy fly-wheel, so as to demonstrate that the urban fabric–also in a smart city context–is always work in progress, with a view to the achievement of sustainable development goals. Highlights The birth of the smart cities concept originates from the third data revolution. Sustainable city policy calls for smart data management. In the ‘New Urban World’ systematic data warehousing is needed. The tension between closed administrative city borders and open data systems can be bridged. The attainment of sustainable development goals (SDGs) presupposes smart city policy.

Evaluating Landscape Urbanism : evidence from Lafayette Park, Detroit
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Journal of Urbanism. - UK : Routledge. - 1754-9175 .- 1754-9183. ; 12:1, s. 34-59
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The claims made for Landscape Urbanism have been difficult to evaluate, since they rely heavily on theoretical and aspirational arguments, and new projects to date have offered little post-occupancy evidence. However, more specific claims have also been made about historic projects as proposed precedents for Landscape Urbanism, and these offer a more substantial evidence base for the evaluation of claims. Here we take the claimed precedent of Detroit’s Lafayette Park, and evaluate the stated claims for its performance on social, economic and ecological criteria, in light of the available evidence. We conclude with an assessment of broader claims for Landscape Urbanism in light of the evidence we find in Lafayette Park.

- In the second paragraph in the second column on page 2 beginning “1. How important are public spaces as engines of human well-being, economic development and social justice, and what are the threats to them, especially from private interests?” the following sentence has been removed: “Setha Low also points to a worrisome diminution of the capacity of public spaces to promote social justice and diversity, replaced by a “politics of exclusion”.” On page 3 of the final sentence of the first paragraph “Ali Madanipour and Setha Low again warn of the danger of unequal access when private sector actors have increasing control over public spaces” has been replaced by “Ali Madanipour again warns of the danger of unequal access when private sector actors have increasing control over public spaces”.

Public space in the new urban agenda : Research into implementation
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Urban Planning. - : Cogitatio Press. - 2183-7635. ; 4:2, s. 134-137
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The New Urban Agenda is a landmark international framework for urbanisation for the next two decades, adopted by acclamation by all 193 countries of the United Nations. Nonetheless, implementation remains an enormous challenge, as does the related need for research evidence to inform practice. This thematic issue brings together research from a number of participants of the Future of Places conference series, contributing new research to inform the development and implementation of the New Urban Agenda, and with a focus on the fundamental topic of public space creation and improvement.

Public spaces and private conflicts in the new urban agenda
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Wit Transactions on Ecology and The Environment. - : WITPress. - 1746-448X .- 1743-3541. ; 238, s. 87-96

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The New Urban Agenda, developed at the UN-Habitat III conference on sustainable urban development and later adopted by consensus by 193 countries, includes nine paragraphs affirming the importance of robust public space networks for sustainable and functional cities. But what are the essential requirements for functional public space in cities? What are the current challenges and shortcomings – especially at a time of rapid urbanization, and the decline of public spaces in many cities? We report on a literature survey done by the Centre for the Future of Places at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, as part of a collaboration with UN-Habitat towards implementation of the New Urban Agenda. The literature provides ample evidence that public spaces are arenas for numerous potential conflicts, but also, if properly allocated and structured, places of peaceful co-presence, creative interaction, participation, and co-production. Furthermore, a critical aspect of successful public space is the ability to self-organise into a structure of territorial regions, combining private interiors with connective public edges. We discuss larger lessons for city structure, design and development strategy, and sustainable urbanisation for the future.

The private lives of public spaces
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Companion to Public Space. - New York : Routledge, 2020. : Taylor and Francis. ; , s. 457-466
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- We are beginning to better understand the complex differentiations of public spaces, and in particular, the ways that more private territories form within public spaces, both formally (e.g. legally permitted sidewalk cafe seating) and informally (e.g. a family picnic on a blanket in a public park). These structures are remarkably complex, intricate and dynamic, and they form as the result of a complex interaction of rules, laws, customs, tacit agreements, and structural adaptations over time. Designers can make use of this knowledge to better support the development of a more dynamic “ecology” of more private zones within public spaces, allowing a more balanced mediation between individual, group and public needs, with fewer conflicts. At the same time, designers and stakeholders can better resist the damage that can occur to the public realm from an over-dominance of private interests. This chapter describes some of the work that has uncovered this structure, and the wider lessons for design and policy.
