Full textTemat för denna studie är tätorters utveckling och regionala rumsliga inordning. Med utgångspunkt i det amerikanska begreppet sprawl, som brukar användas för att beskriva hur framför allt nordamerikanska städer har utvecklas, har statistik över tätorter i Örebros lokala arbetsmarknadsregion bearbetats och analyserats. Syftet med undersökningen har varit att relatera begreppet sprawls innebörder till de befolknings-, yt- och täthetsmässiga förändringar som tätorterna i Örebros lokala arbetsmarknadsregion genomgår under perioden 1980-2005 och den rumsliga formering som härmed genereras baserat på dem. Genom att utforska vad som avses med begreppet sprawl erhålls en tämligen klar bild av den stadsutveckling som begreppet beskriver. Denna beskrivning ligger sedan till grund för hur det statistiska materialet kan analyseras. Som sprawl förstås i denna undersökning befolknings- och yttillväxt i en central större ort där befolkningstätheten huvudsakligen kommer att öka, samt att närliggande system av tätorter också ökar sin befolkning och yta. Sammantaget ger detta en typ av sprawl som är rumsligt diskontinuerlig till sin karaktär genom att den består av flera från varandra fysiskt åtskilda platser som skiljer ut sig från andra tätorter genom att de ökar både sin befolkning och yta, alternativt har en variabel oförändrad medan den andra ökar. Analysen av det statistiska materialet över tätorterna i Örebro LA visar att sprawl förstådd på detta sätt återfinns i och runt Örebro tätort, medan mönstret inte går att finna hos övriga större tätorter i regionen.

Full textSprawl is a term widely used in the urban planning debate surrounding Los Angeles - but what does it really mean? It has been shown that the term is used to explain diverse phenomena and this paper investigates the concept from a historical perspective. The history seems to show that low-density suburbs have existed since the first cities we know of and that this might be more visible in Los Angeles only because of its large immigration.
Over the past 50 years the region around Los Angeles has gone from having the lowest population density in the U.S. to become one of the densest. This means that its reputation as the "sultan of sprawl" may no longer be valid and might also be a sign that the mobility of the car has reached its spatial boundary. One of the reasons that Los Angeles has become denser is the appearance of new cities in its periphery. This Resurrection of new cities in the periphery of existing cities is a phenomenon that has been called the "urbanization of suburbia" or "edge cities" and has been explained as a result of the transition to the post-industrial city. In this type of urban structure the boundaries between urban, suburban and rural can be hard to separate. One old and one new suburban city of Los Angeles – Mission Viejo and Santa Monica – are chosen for the case study to examine this at a local level. It turns out that the two suburban cities differ considerably in various aspects. The perhaps biggest difference between the cities can be found in how the land-uses are located in relation to each other. In Santa Monica, commercial areas are located along the main streets and the city is more mixed-use while in Mission Viejo the commercial areas are located at the outskirts of the city's exits to the highways. The cities also differ in other aspects of urban form and use such as architectural character, the structure of the streets and the accessibility to open space. Whether this can be considered representative of cities in general is not investigated in this paper and much more empirical research is needed to confirm or deny that but hopefully it gives an idea of how one of many similar new cities in the periphery of the Los Angeles urbanized landscape looks today.

Many large financial, news, and social media companies process and stream large quantities of data to customers, either through the public Internet or on their own internal networks. These customers often depend on that data being delivered in a timely and resource-efficient manner. In addition, many customers subscribe to the same or similar data products (e.g., particular types of financial feeds, or feeds of specific social media users). A naive implementation of a data dissemination network like this will cause redundant data to be processed and delivered repeatedly, wasting CPU and bandwidth, increasing network delays, and driving up costs. In this dissertation, we present SPRAWL, a distributed stream processing layer to address the wide-area data processing and dissemination problem. SPRAWL provides two key functions. First, it is able to generate a shared and distributed multi-query plan that transmits records through the network just once, and shares the computation of streaming operators that operate on the same subset of data. Second, it is able to compute an in-network placement of complex queries (each with dozens of operators) in wide-area networks (consisting of thousands of nodes). This placement is optimal within polynomial time and memory complexity when there are no resource (CPU, bandwidth) or query (latency) constraints. In addition, we develop several heuristics to guarantee the placement is near optimal when constraints are violated, and experimentally evaluate the performance of our algorithms versus an exhausting algorithm. We also design and implement a distributed version of the SPRAWL placement algorithm in order to support wide-area networks consisting of thousands of nodes, which centralized algorithms cannot handle. Finally, we show that SPRAWL can make complex query placement decisions on wide-area networks within seconds, and the placement can increase throughput by up to a factor of 5 and reduce dollar costs by a factor of 6 on a financial data stream processing task.

The question of public space in sprawl is largely ignored, even as sprawl becomes the contemporary reality for more and more of us. This thesis defines a theory of Indeterminate Public Form and proposes the use of computational media to define and enable new forms of public space in sprawl. In addition, this document puts this theory into practice through a speculative architectural design and a physical installation. Both projects use sound as an expressive architectural material, molded and composed with computational technologies. The goal is to demonstrate the ability of computational technologies to create participatory public spaces in less than ideal conditions.

Full textthe urban sprawl is, within this work, problematized with reference to urban politics. In the searching of the politics of urban sprawl, one of the political interventions into the urban space
the master plans has utmost importance in this work. The impact of the master plans on the sprawl of the city will be analyzed. A categorization of urban sprawl is proposed in the work, on the urban geography with reference to politics of urban sprawl. After illustrating the types of urban sprawl, the politics of urban sprawl is modeled. The political interventions of State, Metropolitan Municipality, District Municipalities, Housing Development Administration, Real Estate Agents and Rural Landowners located on the periphery is included in the model and their impact on the urban geography is evaluated. Ankara will be examined as a case in the politics of urban sprawl
her unique characteristics like being the '
planned'
capital city controlled by master plans make her indispensable to study. The political interventions of the actors to the urban space of Ankara is highly visible especially considering urban sprawl in the geography of the city, yet another reason to work on.

Within the framework of Mexico City's urban sprawl, this thesis investigates one specific type of territorial occupation: the urbanization of subsidized housing developments on the periphery, which accounts for 17% of the city's total urban footprint, and has generated unlivable neighborhoods. Understanding urban design as a tool to critically address Mexico City's current mode of expansion, the thesis proposes strategies to revert this process. More specifically, it develops a conceptual as well as a design solution at four scales: a project for the city; a new paradigm for the existing housing developments; an urban design intervention for three of these developments; and a set of new building typologies to replace the current housing model. This approach that engages with Mexico City's urban problems through an analysis of the periphery has been previously neglected. With this study, I hope to open a broader discussion on urban design, and the role it can play in the future of Mexico City.

Over the last century of urban decentralization, the suburb migrated a critical distance beyond the traditional city, and transformed into sprawl. The homogenous landscape of sprawl is characterized by repeating horizontal imagery of featureless buildings foregrounded with grass berms, planned for experience through the mediating frame of the car's windshield. Contemporary design discourse has interrogated sprawl from many angles in search for ways to intervene in the most popular and most impenetrable form of American urbanism, issuing discussions ranging from those that raise polar alternatives to those that accept sprawl and meticulously analyze its forms and structure. However, this thesis asserts that the American Midwest is a unique and important territory that has not been adequately appraised in the sprawl debate. Not only does the underlying structure and ideology of Midwesternr landscape evoke certain comparisons to sprawl, one might argue that the American suburb was first borne out of the Midwest, more specifically around the Motor City Detroit. If the automobile is the enabling apparatus of sprawl, the birthplace of the automobile then coincides with the birthplace of the suburb. As both the originating source of suburban development and a current scene of booming sprawl, the metropolitan region of Detroit sees the confluence of the new and the old forms of decentralized urbanism and is accordingly an excellent proving ground for new insights and proposals.
(cont.) The project is sited at the zone of convergence between the 'edge' of Detroit, the first-growth suburban fabric of Dearborn, Michigan, and the ongoing sprawl of the Ford Motor Company. Rejecting the standard tabula rasa approach to sites of decentralized urbanism, this thesis evaluates the formal and social structures affected by sprawl as embedded and potentially meaningful contextual frameworks for design. Therefore, research and creative re-description are conceptualized as integral aspects of the design proposal. The investigation informs a hybridized morphological system that generates more fluid interrelationships between the presently disparate forms of decentralized urbanism in this context.

With characteristics differing from majority households, Latino growth is occurring at a time California is conflicted between several urban development models; a choice between developing compact cities, preserving the environment or increasing urban sprawl and slums. A central argument of this thesis is that, given their household characteristics, the growing Latino population (the future majority population group) may become a key player in the construction of more compact cities in California. This thesis demonstrates that the current views towards status quo development and assimilation ignore the opportunity to build upon Latino's propensity for compact cities and negates the possibility to accommodate growth in California in a more sustainable manner. The thesis addresses city developmental policies that pressure Latinos to assimilate to the established U.S. notion of appropriate use of spaces and commuting patterns, and how they mitigate the economic, social and environmental benefits inherent in the Latino lifestyle. Research is presented that shows Latino assimilation of conventional lifestyles or what is referred to as "Latino Sprawl", could result in detrimental consequences not just for Latinos but also the general California population. These implications imply policymakers should shift away from conventional models that perpetuate status quo results and towards policy alternatives that plan for the balance growth of regions and housing models that reflect the diversity and needs that exists within California. Therefore, "Latino New Urbanism", is presented in this thesis as a new development alternative that assesses the changing population dynamics in California and proposes a model that can increase the quality of life of all residents, reduce the amount of environmental impact, provide the home building industry a viable option to profit from the huge projected housing demand and enable local governments to accommodate growth in a more sustainable manner.

Full textThis thesis aims to discuss some issues related to the actual situation of suburban sprawl in Europe and focuses on the nature and landscapes. Urbanization is a main topic in EU, since cities are still growing, economy is stabilized, although it faced some challenges during the last decade and the larger part of Europe experiences a long period of time with no war or health epidemic. People have the resources to invest in new housing and in many cases they want to fulfill their dream of a house with garden. But this vision requires a lot of space usage so cities are sometimes spontaneously expanding beyond their borders and sometimes it does not even correspond to state urban policies. Urban sprawl is also a serious issue for European nature that does not have as many space alternatives as for example the USA. There are issues with coastal habitats, landscape fragmentation and loss of natural habitats. Thus, this thesis aims to find the main drivers behind urban sprawl and issues related to them. It analyzes its political, economic or social background and deducts solutions for urban sprawl repair with the help of successful projects or experience of states/cities, that suffered from urban sprawl but managed to find a way how to keep the urban development in balance. In this thesis it is a case of Norway. In practical part of this thesis, two case studies were chosen to represent characteristic problems of urban sprawl. They are from Portugal (regional level) and Czech Republic (community level). Those two cases are analyzed independently on each other and variations of solutions are found for them

Full text[ES] El proceso urbanizador de estas últimas décadas ha supuesto un cambio de paradigma importante en el modelo urbano de la Comunidad Valenciana, pasando de un modelo tradicionalmente compacto a otro, característico de la ciudad dispersa, generando importantes efectos tanto ambientales, sociales como económicos. El estudio del urban sprawl tiene sin duda una larga tradición, sobre todo en Estados Unidos, sin embargo, no existe una medida clara y univoca de la dispersión urbana y tampoco es fácil encontrar una cuantificación de los efectos económicos de la dispersión urbana sobre el gasto corriente municipal, aplicado a la Comunidad Valenciana. Particularmente, el impacto de la ciudad dispersa en la hacienda pública local, en el contexto económico actual, es uno de los condicionantes a valorar en las decisiones de los ayuntamientos en materia de urbanismo. De hecho, con esta investigación, se demuestra que la ciudad dispersa genera un mayor coste unitario de los servicios públicos locales, lo cual produce en un modelo de desarrollo ineficiente desde el punto de vista económico. Metodológicamente, en primer lugar, se propone mediante el uso de técnicas GIS, una medición de la ciudad dispersa, permitiendo así caracterizar el modelo urbano resultante de la Comunidad Valenciana a nivel municipal. En segundo lugar, se cuantifica mediante un modelo estadístico, utilizando los datos de liquidaciones presupuestarias de los municipios, el efecto de la ciudad dispersa en las variables de gasto de la Administración Local, sobre todo en lo que se refiere a los gastos corrientes en los servicios públicos básicos municipales. Finalmente, se obtienen unas funciones de coste que, aplicadas al caso de los municipios de la Comunidad Valenciana, permite evaluar el incremento de gasto que supone la dispersión urbana en el gasto corriente municipal y plantear así una herramienta que permita evaluar el impacto de las distintas alternativas de crecimiento urbanístico de un Plan general.

S'ha passat d'un model tradicionalment compacte a un altre, característic de la ciutat dispersa, i s'han produït importants efectes tant ambientals com socials i econòmics. L'estudi de l'Urban Sprawl té, sense cap tipus de dubtes, una llarga tradició, sobretot als Estats Units. No obstant això, no existeix una mesura clara i unívoca de la dispersió urbana i tampoc és senzill trobar una quantificació dels efectes econòmics de la dispersió urbana sobre la despesa corrent municipal que s'aplique a la Comunitat Valenciana. Particularment, l'impacte en la hisenda pública local de la ciutat dispersa, en el context econòmic actual, és un dels condicionants a valorar en les decisions dels ajuntaments en matèria d'urbanisme. De fet, amb aquesta recerca, es demostra que la ciutat dispersa genera un major cost unitari dels serveis públics locals, per la qual cosa produeix un model de desenvolupament ineficient des del punt de vista econòmic. Metodològicament, en primer lloc, es proposa una medició de la ciutat dispersa, la qual permet caracteritzar el model urbà resultant en l'àmbit municipal a la Comunitat Valenciana. Aquesta medició es realitza mitjançant l'ús de les tècniques GIS. En segon lloc, es quantifica l'efecte de la ciutat dispersa en les variables de despeses de l'Administració Local, sobretot en allò referit a les despeses corrents en els serveis públics bàsics municipals. Aquesta quantificació es realitza mitjançant un model estadístic emprant les dades de les liquidacions pressupostàries del municipis. Finalment, s'obtenen unes funcions de cost que, aplicades al cas dels municipis de la Comunitat Valenciana, permeten avaluar l'increment de la despesa que suposa la dispersió urbana en la despesa corrent municipal i plantejar així una ferramenta que permeta avaluar l'impacte de les distintes alternatives de creixement urbanístic d'un Pla General.

Over the next quarter century the U.S. population will expand by 25 percent, an unprecedented steep and rapid increase that has already begun. The urban and suburban land area has been expanding to create a sprawling landscape of housing developments, shopping centers, and industrial parks. Sprawl has created a sense of disorientation as the spatial growth has blurred the boundaries between the rural landscape and urban/suburban cities and towns, leading to the creation of amorphous regions. This disorientation and the rapid increase in population are generating undesirable environmental consequences. This thesis proposes a new way of approaching the development of cities and towns so as to create clearly defined communities within the amorphous sprawl of development that is consuming the landscape and resources. I proposed the middle-ground, a term I use to suggest a place found between the rural and suburban/urban boundaries as a new landscape for development. Using U.S. Census data, GIS information, site visit and interviews I assess the impact of growth and sprawl in the Interstate 75 corridor region between Atlanta Georgia and Chattanooga Tennessee. I offer a new direction in smart growth in the design of a new town located between the sprawl of Chattanooga, Tennessee and Dalton, Georgia, to house 100,000 residents. In addition, I propose a new train station as a central transportation link between the Chattanooga and Atlanta airports as a means of creating a well-defined, well-populated node that is a counterpoint to those regions with blurred boundaries.

California faces an immediate and dire water shortage. The San Joaquin River Delta water supply system - which provides Silicon Valley with most of its fresh water - periodically draws down water delivery due to drought and environmental degradation. Currently, these policyscale decisions may only be met with very small-scale compensatory measures (on the order of "change your light bulbs"). There are not yet any solutions proposed at a middle, mediating, architectural scale. This thesis asks: how could an architectural intervention provide a solution to regional needs? Fast and furious development in recent decades has brought on and compounded major environmental problems, as well as increased the already high value of land in the region. In Silicon Valley, a growing population and a rapidly expanding high-tech (these days meaning biotech / pharmaceutical) industry pressure its few remaining large vacant parcels to develop. One can see in these sites the quiet but great potential danger of the status quo. They could just be the last large parcels slated for subdivision, and we could continue nostalgically lamenting the drain on and damage to natural resources. Or these sites could be our first chance at something new. This thesis explores a radically positive view of development, proposing an approach to program that multiplies value on all fronts economic, cultural, infrastructural, and environmental - and asks: how can a new infrastructure best perform?
(cont.) In order to directly address the region's multiple needs (infrastructural, economic, civic, and environmental), normative development provides a scaffolding for waste-water treatment wetlands that double as urban wildlife sanctuaries. This combined program capitalizes on a highly valued, increasingly scarce cash crop produced as a by-product when treating waste water. This new cash crop is water. Clean enough to drink, this water be sold back to the neighbors, forming a new infrastructural network of "locally grown" gray water. This infrastructural network reinstitutes wildness - if not wilderness - in Silicon Valley, combating its homogenous regional development patterns by proposing a new network " of un-settlement. A new homestead, for the new cash crop.
