Abstract:
Intent and aim The primary intent of this thesis is to explore about Compact Urbanism and to define an approach towards low density, mono functional precincts in the city that lie underutilized in their potential towards a positive contribution to the city and to come with new model of compact city that will answer the challenges and problems that are still unanswered. The reconfigured Compact city will built environment at the best possible way to support the best quality of life. Everyone wants to be free of the urban pollution he can directly sense: the smog, smoke, grime, litter, odors, city heat, din, poor water, and the slum conditions. But the environmental degradation associated with urban development can also be measured in terms of disrupted ecosystems and wasteful use of green space and natural resources. The approach illustrates how and why compact city is the way of redesigning an urban environment so as to get rid of these negative aspects and to preserve enhance the qualities of urban life that we have come to accept desirable. Eventually to reconfigure the compact city which will work better than what has been proposed so far. The new model of compact city will make neighborhoods more lively, safe and relevant for children; and so that the city itself becomes a more exciting center for personal interactions in today’s fast-moving world. Main Concerns Concerns rise from the observations that there are city structures that are inefficient and are underutilized areas in the cities which have lower intensity of use and untapped potential to absorb new functions, activities and housing stocks. As of by-product of mono functional use and low density these areas have issues like lack of identity, character and lack of a vibrant public domain. A Renewal process is important for such city precincts that are located near city centers or work centers and occupy large areas at low densities in relation to its location and potential. The notion of the Compact City is a reaction against the city structures in most developed cities-dense cores accommodating most of the cities workplaces, retail, entertainment, commerce, services and amenities and sprawling low-density, single use suburbs-a city structure which by default produces the need to travel and as a product car dependency, energy consumption and pollution. The basis for the debate is the general agreement that the city as we know and inhabit today causes unsustainable environmental stress, is socially stratified & functionally sub-optimal, and is expensive to run.  Challenges The city is a platform where humans meet, interact, collaborate, exchange their views, make new relationship, work and compete with each other. City forms a shell in which all lives survive and develop. It moulds their lives. It is a web where different kind of people varies in religion, ethnicity and race lives together. It interlocks them and makes a mass of variety of living and nonliving objects. All cities are fast growing. People are moving in and out of the cities. Each day somebody is transferred to some other place. Families are breaking up either of transfers of job or splitting of parents. New constructions are planning. Whether the new construction is required or not people are building it up without giving a thought how it will be beneficial to the environment. Because of all these impacts of improper planning, land value in the city is hiking up and eventually people are left with no option but to move outskirts of the city. New tracts of land are occupying. Green places are disappearing. The challenge has to do with conservation. The fast growing encroachment towards the countryside of the city is destroying valuable green fields. They are affecting the farm lands which are essential for human life in order to get food for unstoppable population. There is a need of getting control over the growth of the city. There should be more functional and organized planning which can curtail sprawl. We have to comprehend the significance of land as it is not infinitive, it is limited. The city should be redesigned or proper measures and consideration are to be made in order to conserve land, water, energy and waste. If irregular spreading of city is not stopped and compact cities are not implemented than we will lose valuable lands and will not be able to acquire benefits of natural environment as it will be destructed. Compactness has to be achieved to build environment to support best quality of life.

Abstract:
Today's planners and designers are working to improve the quality of living areas in cities, as is observable in such urban centers as Chicago, Cincinnati, New York, Atlanta and of course, Indianapolis, just to mention a few. To create or keep those desirable spaces, cityscapes, historical sites, plazas and recreational areas, the use of planning, design and redesign is necessary.This creative project deals with the redesign of the City Market Plaza in Indianapolis. Potentials and possible future concepts are addressed.Today's City Market is not a major place of interest that attracts a large clientele. Places like Union Station, Pan American Plaza, The Indianapolis Circle and the recently approved circle Mall, diminish its importance as an attraction. The large O'Maiia's and other smaller specialty markets detract from its value as a market. But the potentials still are there for tourism, daily shopping and restaurant dining. By adding new locales in the City Market's plazas, with new uses and adjusting a well planned program of activities to these locales, it will help survive and compete successfully against the competition.

Abstract:
Urban Renewal which originates in the concept of Local Economic Development (LED) has in recent years gained much global acceptance as a strategy to improve certain areas that are poorly developed in order to improve the quality of lives of the local residents. South Africa have adopted the Urban Renewal approach and ever since, a number of national centres have been targeted for urban renewal activities. The Buffalo City Municipality (BCMM) implemented the Mdanstane Urban Renewal Programme (MURP) which is essentially the case study of this research. Despite the government instituting the Integrated Development Planning (IDP), Buffalo City still remains one of South Africa’s poorest metropolitan areas, with a relatively high unemployment and crime rate compared to other metropolitan cities in the country (Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality,2012). The study, therefore, sought to empirically analyse the effectiveness of the URP as an initiative of Integrated Development Planning (IDP) particularly on how it has addressed socio-economic pathologies such as poverty and inequality rampant in the area of study. The Mdantsane Urban Renewal Programme was used to monitor and evaluate the impact it had on the communities and the municipality. The study used a mixed methods or triangulation approach as both qualitative and quantitative techniques were used in determining the effect of the MURP on local development as well as in exploring the different perceptions and challenges facing the programme. The data that was gathered was analysed both quantitatively using frequency tables and graphs, and qualitatively based on the key themes that emerged. The research established that whilst the MURP has scored some gains in refurbishing the area of study, there are still various challenges inherent in the MURP such as its non-inclusiveness, lack of transparency, accountability and the lack of real benefits accruing in the local communities. Thus, this research recognised a need for a more inclusive and pro-poor urban development framework that promotes local citizen participation, accountability, sustainability and equity in resource distribution and allocation, in order to improve the livehoods of the local people in Mdantsane.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: All cities experience urban deterioration in some form or other. This deterioration is caused by many, diverse factors. The deterioration leads to a loss of investment in the city and a downward cycle where the causes and consequences of urban deterioration can strengthen each other. South Africa's fast population growth cause several problems for the country. One of these problems is suburban expansion, which creates urban sprawl; with its associated problem of ineffective land utilisation. Urban renewal can be applied to address urban deterioration and utilise Brownfield sites, which are derelict or underused sites; instead of Greenfield sites, which are sites that have not been previously developed. It has been found that South African policy still benefit the development of Greenfield sites. Urban renewal can be used as a tool to address South Africa's unequal development and opportunities among the different races by improving the people's living conditions. Development starts with human development. This study gives a historical and theoretical overview of the urban renewal field of study. After the review of various authors and four case studies in Cape Town and Johannesburg, it can be concluded that the urban renewal process can be approached through various methods and should be included in any city's spatial development framework. The potential roles local government can play were identified as being to implement a communitybased redevelopment approach, designing area-specific strategies where redevelopment is feasible and making grants and tax incentives available. Local governments could also be involved in public-private partnerships. The role of the planner within the renewal process has also increased to that of assessing the need and justification for urban renewal; initiating the projects; negotiating between various role players; implementing the projects; and monitoring the success thereof. Special focus was given to gentrification in Cape Town and it was found that displacement of the original residents does indeed occur. The question within a free market economy is whether the authority should interfere in this process or not, especially with regard to historic and culturally sensitive areas such as Bo-Kaap. This could possibly be motivated as being in the "public interest" in the above case Recommendations were that a community-based redevelopment approach should be followed; physical and social rehabilitation should be integrated; demolition and displacement must be avoided; and resources must be allocatd to neighbourhoods rather than individuals. Projects must also be an intense, short termed action, using local institutions for implementation.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Enige stad ondervind stedelike verval in een of ander vorm. Hierdie agteruitgang word veroorsaak deur verskeie, uiteenlopende faktore. Stedelike verval lei tot 'n verlies aan investering in die stad en word gevolg deur 'n afwaartse siklus waar die oorsake en gevolge van stedelike verval mekaar versterk. Suid Afrika se snelle bevolkingsgroei veroorsaak verskeie probleme. Een van dié probleme is voorstedelike uitbreiding wat stadskruip veroorsaak; met die geassosieerde probleem van oneffektiewe benutting van grond. Stedelike hernuwing kan aangewend word om stedelike verval aan te spreek, en die benutting van "Brownfield" terreine, wat vervalle, onderbenutte areas is; instede van "Greenfield" terreine, wat voorheen onontwikkelde terreine is, aan te moedig. Dit is gevind dat Suid Afrikaanse beleid steeds die ontwikkeling van "Greenfield" terreine aanmoedig. Stedelike hernuwing kan ook gebruik word as 'n instrument om Suid Afrika se ongelyke ontwikkeling en geleenthede, tussen die verskille rasse, aan te spreek deur die mense se lewens omstandighede te verbeter. Ontwikkeling begin by die huis. Hierdie studie gee 'n historiese en teoretiese oorsig van die stedelike hernuwing studiegebied, met die klem op residensiële hernuwing. Nadat die literatuur van verskeie skrywers, voorbeelde en gevallestudies in Kaapstad en Johannesburg ondersoek is, kan die gevolgtrekking gemaak word dat die stedelike hernuwingsproses aangepak kan word deur verskeie metodes. Stedelike hernuwing behoort ook by elke dorp se ruimtelike ontwikkelingsraamwerk ingesluit te wees. Die potensiële rolle van plaaslike owerhede is gevind om te wees: die implementering van 'n gemeenskap-gebaseerde herontwikkelings benadering; die ontwerp van area-spesifieke strategieë waar herontwikkeling uitvoerbaar is; en die beskikbaarstelling van toegewing en belasting aansporings. Plaaslike regerings kan ook betrokke wees in publieke-private vennootskappe. Die rol van die beplanner binne die hernuwingsproses het ook vergroot tot die bepaling van die behoefte en regverdiging van stedelike hernuwing; inisiëring van projekte; onderhandelings tussen die verskillende rolspelers; implementering van die projekte; en die monitering van die projek se sukses. Daar is spesiale aandag gegee aan die gentrifikasie ("gentrification") proses in Kaapstad waar daar gevind is dat die oorspronklike inwoners wel verplaas word in die proses. Die vraag binne 'n vrye mark ekonomie is of owerhede moet inmeng in die proses of nie, veral met betrekking tot historiese en kultureel sensitiewe areas soos Bo-Kaap. Dit kon moontlik gemotiveer wees as om in die "openbare belang" te wees in bogenoemde geval. Voorstelle wat gemaak was, is dat 'n gemeenskaps-gebaseerde herontwikkelings benadering gevolg moet word; fisiese en sosiale rehabilitasie moet geintegreer word; sloping en verplasing moet vermy word; en hulpbronne moet toegeken word aan woonbuurtes eerder as individue. Projekte moet ook 'n intens, kort termyn aksie wees en plaaslike institusies vir die implementering gebruik.

Abstract:
With the massive urbanisation taking place on a global scale, international interest and concern increasingly center on the ability of local government(s) to be able to manage the ever-increasing urban population. The unprecedented developments that have taken place within South African towns, cities and metropolitan areas over the past years have served to emphasise the vital necessity for intelligent planning of the country's urban communities. It is in the light of these arguments that urban management and town planning should be practised in such a manner to satisfy both the social and physical well-being of communities. One of the most pressing challenges for urban managers across the world, particularly in developed and mid-developed countries, is the reduction of social exclusion and the redevelopment of deprived neighbourhoods and communities. Unfortunately, urban planning and management in some towns and cities - particularly with the emphasis on service delivery - has not yet reached its full potential in furthering public planning and developmental policies. The provision of basic services to urban residents is another of the numerous problems that local governments face. High population density and the concentration of industries (in some municipalities) in the rapidly growing cities of the world are leading to a significant increase in problems, such as air pollution from households, industry, power stations and transportation. Water pollution, inadequate sanitation, overcrowding and poor quality housing, are other concerns for many cities, including Klerksdorp. Furthermore, it has become increasingly important to address issues at local level in partnership with key stakeholders. A multidimensional approach in solving urban problems is crucial, with some dimension (sector) addressing comprehensive community development initiatives on a city-wide basis, incorporating a planning component (IDP) and others addressing the implementation of more specific community-based projects. The approach as a whole is purposively political and process-oriented, promoting political commitment and advocating fundamental change in local government and its relationship with communities. These types of approaches to urban management and planning involve a wide variety of stakeholders. These stakeholders are increasingly becoming involved in all stages of policy-making and implementation, from the initial definition and prioritisation of issues (IDP process), the collection and analysis of information, to the development and implementation of plans (National Key Performance Indicators). In order to ensure long-standing commitment, it is important that stakeholders are properly involved in the definition of problems as well as in problem solution (community participation and involvement). The concerns, needs and preference of all relevant interested and affected parties, including service users, need to be articulated in the form of IDP priorities. Partners bring their knowledge, expertise and perceptions of the problem and could also frequently benefit by gaining a better understanding of the technical and financial constraints that might have a bearing on plans that are subsequently developed. Although the initiatives of urban planning and management should come from local government, all parties must be brought on board so that the whole urban renewal and management process can be seen as a collective effort of multipartners.

Abstract:
The strict divisions of city spaces created by physical urban planning disintegrated under transformations of capitalism and its accompanying crises of overaccumulation, social urban planning was elaborated to more effectively control the capitalist city and to reintegrate the increasingly blighted areas of the once popular amusements into the economy.
This disciplined reintegration, unsuccessfully attempted in New York City's Times Square since the late 1920s. is finally being realized by the redevelopment forces that began shaping the city's spatial practices in the wake of the fiscal crisis of 1975. The development projects undertaken in midtown Manhattan following the recovery from the fiscal crisis are transforming the renowned Times Square theater district into a strikingly different urban environment. The new politics of redevelopment under the regime of flexible accumulation are almost exclusively oriented towards economic development that is equated with speculative property investments, rebuilding Times Square to promote the global city's finance monopoly. Denying the existence of the public realm and celebrating free market laissez-faire policy, the 42nd Street Development Project, under the guise of removing blight, is eliminating the undesirable and underprivileged from the new image of the Bright Lights District. Times Square as a center of the local popular culture of Broadway theaters, cinemas, restaurants, billboard spectaculars, and public celebrations, has been lost as a public space. In the redevelopment projects now imaging the Crossroads of the World, the lost city of the past is recreated through the commodification of its collective memory, fashioning a Disneyfied spectacle for the global urban center.
