Connected public lighting for more sustainable and liveable cities is highly demanding research in lighting design field through human centred design approach. While following this understanding, this thesis aims to answer the question “How a networked public lighting can be created in order to enhance the needs of the pedestrians in Fredhällspark?”. To investigate this study, a background research was studied in the relevant topics of urban lighting, followed by the study of human safety regarding to this topic and lastly the possible new lighting technologies. The main study is involved in a pedestrian path at Fredhällspark in Stockholm, Sweden, in two months duration in the spring time of 2018 by conducting user surveys and taking the lighting measurements. Based on the results the study showed, a lighting design proposal is developed with a site-specific approach in order to make it up-to date and sustainable for future urban environments while complying with the requirements of the users.

Since 1960s, the scope of urban design broadened in a way that to control the
formation process of urban space as a whole. In this respect urban coding became a
distinct branch in urban planning as an integrating mechanism of planning and
design processes. Thus, design control has become a crucial part of the development
control systems especially in the western countries. Although the development
legislation in Turkey as an urban coding system has various weaknesses about urban
design and design control, it provides important tools to control urban form from
macro scale to micro scale. Aim of this study is to analyze the capabilities and
deficiencies of the development legislation in Turkey as a design control system.
The mostly stated complaint about the planned areas in the cities of Turkey is the
loss of diversity and peculiar character of settlements as a result of the
homogenization of their spatial pattern, namely apartmentalization. This problem is
basically related with the exclusion of urban design from the planning process. The
planning approach in Turkey merely oriented to readjustment of property appropriate
to small-scale development, ignoring the concerns in regard to urban design.
Therefore, beyond a technical fault resulting from the legislation, this is an outcome
iv
of the way legal tools are used that does not realize the value of potentia l possibilities
in the legislation.
However, if the legal tools are used efficiently in an approach that bring the
considerations of urban design into fore, it might be possible to come out with more
satisfactory environments in terms of diversity and richness of urban space. This is
the basic hypothesis examined in this study.
In this context, firstly the relation between urban coding and design is investigated in
its historical development and a hierarchical model for design control is defined.
Then the development legislation in Turkey is evaluated in the frame of this model.
Finally, territorial hierarchy of space is taken up as a design criterion and the
capacity of legal tools in control of the transitional zones, which are critical elements
of territorial hierarchy, is examined.

A presente pesquisa, desenvolvida no Mestrado em Artes Visuais da Escola de Belas Artes – UFBA - na linha de Processos Criativos, aborda os aspectos teóricos e práticos voltados para as intervenções artísticas realizadas nos espaços abertos/fechados da urbe. A relevância dessas intervenções nos espaços públicos se apresenta como forma de ressignificar uma estética do cotidiano. O trabalho tem como objetivo propor uma reflexão acerca do poder simbólico, do controle e vigilância na paisagem urbana, assim como sobre as relações sócio-espaciais fragmentadas diante da demarcação territorial e das fronteiras codificadas pelos impedimentos: espaciais, visuais e corporais. O olhar do artista contemporâneo se apropria, assim, desses espaços e estabelece suas ações no sentido de ampliar uma discussão em torno das imagens e dos objetos que o cerca, possibilitando mudanças na paisagem urbana tanto no contexto social quanto na percepção desse mesmo contexto.

Aquesta tesi tracta sobre la gestió de l’espai públic a Barcelona en la era neoliberal actual mitjançant tres perspectives. La primera, a nivell municipal, analitza la localització, la tipologia i la distribució de les inversions municipals en l’espai públic. La segona, la qual cobreix la escala de districte, estudia les transformacions de diferents espais i el seus dissenys actuals en Ciutat Vella i Nou Barris. La tercera, que aprofundeix en l’àmbit de les relacions socials, examina les conseqüències d’allò anterior en les conductes dels individus. Al llarg d’aquestes pàgines, es mostra com el mode de gestió municipal de l’espai públic ha prioritzat la producció econòmica sobre les formes de reproducció social, articulant els impulsos del capitalisme en Ciutat Vella y Barcelona, en general, i com en Nou Barris, es va passar d’una gestió paternalista amb finalitat política a dissenys homogeneïtzats als de la resta de la ciutat.Esta tesis estudia la gestión del espacio público en Barcelona en la era neoliberal reciente mediante tres perspectivas. La primera, a nivel municipal, analiza la localización, la tipología y la distribución de las inversiones municipales en espacio público. La segunda, en la que se pasa a la escala de distrito, indaga sobre las transformaciones de diversos espacios y sus diseños actuales en Ciutat Vella y Nou Barris. La tercera, que se adentra en el ámbito de las relaciones sociales, examina las consecuencias de lo anterior en las conductas de los individuos. A lo largo de estas páginas se evidencia cómo el modo de gestión municipal del espacio público ha priorizado la producción económica sobre las formas de reproducción social articulando los impulsos del capitalismo en Ciutat Vella y, Barcelona en general, y cómo, en Nou Barris, se pasó de una gestión paternalista con fines políticos a diseños homogéneos como los del resto de la ciudad.
This thesis developments three perspectives about how the public space has been managed in the neoliberal era in Barcelona. First, it has been analysed how the local investments are localised, distributed and classified in the public space in Barcelona City. Second, the research shows how different areas the both districts, Ciutat Vella and Nou Barris, have been transformed and designed. Finally, the last analysis examines how the spatial transformations, mentioned above, have influenced upon the social relationship of the users in the studied areas. Municipal management about public space in Barcelona City increasingly articulates the impulses of capitalist production rather than social reproduction. This process is consolidated in Ciutat Vella but, also, in Barcelona City. In Nou Barris, a homogenised design, similar to the rest of the city, has replaced a more paternalist management of the space.

This thesis examines the regulation of women in public space in Liverpool between 1908 and 1957. It considers the complex relationship between the laws used to police solicitation, governmental debate about female prostitution and local purity campaigners’ concerns with the moral vulnerability of young, working-class, urban women. It is argued that the ways in which prostitution was understood and managed had an impact upon all women’s access to and use of public space, together with wider definitions of female morality and immorality. The thesis adds to historical understandings about the implications of prostitution regulation in the twentieth century, by moving away from London-focused histories to offer a detailed analysis of the ways in which national debates about vice were taken up at local level and with what consequences. I begin by exploring the problems with policing prostitution in the early-twentieth century and argue that increasing concern about the difficulty in differentiating prostitutes from ‘ordinary’ women provoked anxiety amongst law makers and government officials alike. It is argued that the debates canvassed by the 1927 Macmillan Committee indicate the degree to which moral codes about female sexuality informed official approaches to prostitution. The thesis considers the implications of these broad debates in Liverpool. Focusing on the work of the Liverpool Vigilance Association (LVA), it is proposed that fears about the moral threat of prostitution fuelled the organisation’s belief in the necessity of preventative patrol work centred on the moral surveillance of young, working-class women. This thesis shows that in interwar Liverpool, women’s movements were circumscribed first and foremost by their gender. Traditional, nineteenth-century ideas about women’s place within the domestic sphere created a sense among local purity campaigners that female morality was being threatened by women’s visibility in urban spaces. Other aspects of social status, such as class, race and employment experiences, heightened the interest of the LVA in targeting distinctive groups of women. The thesis demonstrates that in their efforts to regulate women’s movements through the city of Liverpool, local purists singled-out working-class and immigrant (especially Irish) women, as they believed them to be the most susceptible to corruption. This thesis draws on a wide range of archival sources, especially Home Office Records relating to the Public Places (Order) Bill and the establishment of the 1927 Macmillan Committee, as well as the LVA archive, in order to show how national and local policies on prostitution were both interdependent and distinct.

La gestion de la demande en chauffage des bâtiments raccordés à des réseaux de chaleur s'effectue classiquement au moyen d’une courbe de chauffe : lorsque la température extérieure chute, la température de départ de l’eau alimentant le circuit de chauffage interne est relevée. Ce mode de contrôle, appelé régulation par loi d’eau, présente des atouts en termes de simplicité et de robustesse, mais ne tient pas compte de l'inertie thermique du bâtiment et ne permet donc pas une modulation de sa demande. La modulation de la demande en chauffage se définit comme l'action de contrôle consistant à modifier de manière stratégique les conditions de confort thermique dans le cadre d’une optimisation énergétique et/ou économique. Il s’agit d’une brique essentielle du contrôle flexible qui envisage le déplacement des charges et l’effacement des pics pour une meilleure efficacité de production favorisant la pénétration des énergies renouvelables et de récupération.Ces travaux de thèse visent à développer une stratégie de contrôle prédictif et flexible de la demande en chauffage, applicable à grande échelle dans les réseaux de chaleur.Tout d'abord, un simulateur thermique dynamique de bâtiment résidentiel, équipé de radiateurs hydrauliques connectés à une sous-station de réseau de chaleur, est développé. Il permet de définir plusieurs cas d’études de bâtiments représentatifs du parc résidentiel français et constitue l’environnement expérimental virtuel de nos travaux de recherche. Ensuite, une méthodologie permettant d’obtenir un modèle orienté-contrôle et d’ordre réduit de bâtiment avec son système de chauffage est proposée. Elle commence par la définition de la structure du modèle en se basant sur des connaissances physiques, puis consiste en l'identification des paramètres par optimisation méta-heuristique à l'aide des données générées par le simulateur. L'approche d'identification paramétrique évalue la possibilité de réaliser cette tâche en ne s’appuyant que sur des données disponibles au niveau de la sous-station, notamment en s’interdisant d’utiliser des mesures de température intérieure au bâtiment, donnée à caractère personnel présumée indisponible à grande échelle pour des raisons techniques, économiques et juridiques. Enfin, la stratégie de contrôle prédictif est implémentée. Elle permet la planification de la température de départ de l'eau de chauffage en fonction des prévisions météorologiques et des prix de l’énergie. Le contrôleur flexible s’appuie sur un problème d’optimisation linéaire sous contraintes, selon le principe de l’horizon fuyant. Il incorpore les équations linéarisées du modèle d’ordre réduit et calcule le compromis optimal entre coûts énergétiques et inconfort thermique, le degré de flexibilité de la demande en chauffage étant défini par l’intermédiaire de paramètres de réglage dédiésIn District Heating Systems (DHSs), buildings Space-Heating (SH) demand management conventionally relies on a heating curve: when the outdoor temperature drops, the internal SH system supply water temperature is raised. This control mode, referred to as Weather-Compensation Control (WCC), offers widely recognized assets in terms of simplicity and robustness. However, WCC does not account for the building thermal inertia, and consequently, it does not allow modulation of its demand. SH demand modulation is the control action of strategically altering the indoor thermal comfort conditions within an energetic and/or economic optimization framework. It is a key measure in flexible demand control strategies, which seek loads shifting and peaks shaving to allow sustainable commitment of energy resources in favour of renewable power penetration and waste heat recovery.The work presented in this thesis aims at developing a flexible Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategy for SH demand, applicable at large scale in DHSs.Firstly, a thermal dynamic simulator of a residential building with a radiator SH circuit connected to a DHS substation is developed. It allows the definition of multiple case study buildings, well-representative of the french residential stock, and constitutes the virtual experimental environment for our research. Then, a methodology to obtain a control-oriented Reduced-Order Model (ROM) for the building and its SH system is proposed. It starts by defining the ROM structure based on physical knowledge, and proceeds to parameters identification by meta-heuristic optimization using data generated by the simulator. The parametric identification approach evaluates the possibility of carrying out this task by relying solely on data available at the substation level, refraining from using indoor temperature measurements, personal data assumed to be unavailable at large scale for technical, economic and legal reasons. Finally, MPC is implemented to schedule the SH supply water temperature as function of weather forecasts and energy price variations. The flexible controller is designed to solve a constrained linear optimization problem according to the receding horizon principle. It embeds the linearized ROM equations within the problem formulation and makes an optimal trade-off between energy consumption costs and thermal discomfort, the degree of flexibility to modulate SH demand being defined through dedicated tuning parameters

The contemporary world lives the reality of the culture of fear, culminating in a society under constant surveillance. And the surveillance cameras are part of the urban scenario being necessary to exercise of controlling and security. This paper aims to identify how the individual is incurred as a subject before surveillance. Insecurity, fear and social conflicts guided by contemporary capitalism. This is a qualitative exploratory study that pursued to know the current surveillance control universe established in the contemporary world. The following study of the surveillance cameras usage in Goiânia uses as a theoretical and methodological referential the discourse analysis (DA) based on the method of Eni P. Orlandi (2005). All the evoked notions and theories such as power, knowledge, subjectivity and discourse, in view of authors as Foucault (2009: 2008: 2007: 2006: 1999a: 1999b: 1987), Guattari and Rolnik (2011: 1992), Deleuze (2005: 2001: 1992) and Agamben (2009), are worked in the theoretical chapters and resumed during the analysis process. Were interviewed passers-by and traders present in the monitored areas as well as representatives of the monitoring central station. Throughout the analysis and interviews the attention was turned to the process of subjectivity of the subject. Their subjection process (acceptance and resistance/biopower) and still the ways of knowing and the power present in the relation between the subject and the surveillance cameras. From these categories of analysis and interviews it was observed the presence of a hegemonic discourse where the subject is incurred by the relation of forces, modes coercion and control that they are involved in, developing a behavior characteristic of biopower. However this same subject is constituted according to the environment they live it is also the subject that was not characterized by a unique behavior in their own way to make themselves the subject, becoming, therefore, mass of a hegemonic discourse, absolutely controllable by a security system, sold only as something to benefit society. Keywords: Subjectivity. Surveillance. Cameras. Insecurity. Urban space.
A contemporaneidade vive a cultura do medo, que culminou em uma sociedade altamente vigiada. As câmeras de vigilância compõem o cenário urbano por se fazerem necessárias ao exercício do controle e da segurança. O presente trabalho pretende identificar como o indivíduo se constitui enquanto sujeito diante da vigilância, da insegurança, do medo e dos conflitos sociais pautados no capitalismo contemporâneo. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa e exploratória que buscou conhecer o atual universo de controle e vigilância estabelecidos na contemporaneidade. O estudo do uso de câmeras de vigilância em Goiânia faz uso da Análise do Discurso (AD) baseada na obra de Eni P. Orlandi (2005). Todas as noções e teorias evocadas, como as do poder, do saber, do dispositivo, da subjetivação e do discurso, na visão de autores como Foucault (2009: 2008: 2007: 2006: 1999: 1999: 1987), Guattari e Rolnik (2011: 1992), Deleuze (2005: 2001: 1992) e Agamben (2009), são trabalhadas nos capítulos teóricos e retomadas durante o processo de análise. Foram entrevistados transeuntes e comerciantes presentes nas áreas monitoradas, assim como representantes da central de monitoramento. Ao longo das entrevistas e análise, a atenção voltou-se para os processos de subjetivação do sujeito, a seus processos de assujeitamento (aceitação e resistência/ biopoder) e ainda às formas de saber e poder presentes na relação entre sujeito e câmeras de vigilância. A partir dessas categorias de análise e das entrevistas, observou-se a presença de um discurso hegemônico, em que o sujeito se constitui por meio das relações de forças, modos de coerção e controle que o envolve, desenvolvendo um comportamento de total aceitação e submissão as formas de controle e poder regentes na sociedade, comportamento este que é próprio do biopoder. Contudo, esse mesmo sujeito que se constitui conforme o meio no qual está inserido, é também aquele que não se caracterizou por um comportamento singular, num modo próprio de se fazer sujeito; tornando-se, portanto, massa de um discurso hegemônico, absolutamente controlável por um sistema de segurança, que é vendido apenas como algo a beneficiar a sociedade.

A partir de um esforço para entender a violência urbana, procuramos contribuir com o debate sobre os antagonismos urbanos, que revelam uma oposição objetiva e subjetiva entre os sujeitos e grupos sociais da maior metrópole brasileira - São Paulo - à luz das transformações globais que tem o espaço metropolitano como condição e das redefinições inerentes à metrópole, aceleradas pela globalização dos negócios e da governança. A dinâmica de reprodução da metrópole se revela perversa, desigual, fragmentada e segregada, condição e resultado de relacionamentos urbanos para os quais se restringem os meios e os campos de negociação, assim a violência emerge como meio político e como um dos elementos capazes de construir identidades e estilos de vida, tanto dos grupos sociais estabelecidos, quanto dos grupos sociais com déficit de poder. O objetivo principal foi investigar a lógica e a difusão da violência entre os sujeitos outsiders da metrópole e seus respectivos territórios, que, como a violência organizada entre os grupos sociais mais poderosos da Região Metropolitana, ajuda a configurar uma metrópole que militariza seus problemas, fragmenta o tecido social e estilhaça os seus territórios. Realizamos observações de campo no centro histórico e na zona leste da Cidade de São Paulo e estabelecemos diálogos informais com os habitantes de áreas marginalizadas, genericamente chamadas de periferias, para então analisar as representações, autorepresentações, leituras sociais e espaciais que estes sujeitos fazem de si e do seu grupo social, e dos grupos sociais de alto poder, buscando compreender como estes sujeitos enxergam cada fração da cidade, diante do medo, da insegurança e da militarização que vem caracterizando os territórios metropolitanos.
From an effort to understand urban violence, we contribute to the debate about the urban antagonisms, which showed an opposition between objective and subjective social groups and the subjects of major Brazilian metropolis - Sao Paulo - the light of global transformations that have the metropolitan area and as a condition of re inherent metropolis, accelerated by the globalization of business and governance. The dynamics of reproduction of the metropolis it is perverse, unequal, fragmented and segregated, condition and results of urban relationships for which the resources are limited and the fields of negotiation, so the violence as a political and emerge as one of the elements capable of building identities and lifestyles of both groups established, as social groups with a deficit of power. The main objective was to investigate the logic of violence and the spread between the subjects of outsiders and their respective metropolitan areas, such as that organized violence between the most powerful social groups in the Metropolitan Region, to help set up a city with process of militarization of their problems, the tissue fragments social and splinter the territories within the metropolis. We fielded observations in the historic center and in the eastern city of Sao Paulo and to establish informal dialogue with the residents of vulnerable areas, generally called the suburbs, then to consider the representations, auto-representations, reading and social space that they are subject you and your group, and social groups at high power, trying to understand how these subjects see each fraction of the city, ahead of fear, insecurity and the militarization that has characterized the metropolitan areas.

Our life evolves as an interaction between predictable and unpredictable patterns. Variations and impediments stimulate our free, non-mechanical impulses towards unpredictable patterns. At the macroscopic level. history can be seen through an ever-repeating cycle moving from a cumulative trend towards order. to a decaying process. Through a similar viewing lens the past trends that regulated the physical context have been moving from concentrated and dogmatic ideologies. to dispersed and spontaneous ones. Since the 18th century. the Machine Age is geared towards the perfection of the machine. Within this frame of development. it took no more than 200 years for the trend of "machine perfection" to be explicitly applied. at the microscopic level. upon the urban environment. At the urban scale of design. The internationally accepted manifestations of the Chart of Athens have been projecting dogmatic patterns of development: The ''ideal" definitions of uses and "orderliness", inside and outside the built shells. have brought about the problem of segregating the liveliness of the city. Such regulating orders have negated the particularities of the public spaces: the spaces where the mixture of both intended and unintended patterns of activities. and regulated and unregulated forms. acclaimed publicness through time. The physical structure of all urbanizations is the result of the antagonistic interaction between concentrated totalities on the one hand. and dispersive partialities on the other. The first process is the product of the aforementioned deterministic development while the second one is the more unpredictable. evolutionary development that follows. My goal ·is to bring both processes into equal consideration when taking on the role of shaping a micro- scale. public space. It seems that the recent acknowledgments qualities in the "street", the "square". the "19th-century fabric", are weak in challenging the negative aspects of the International style. They still do not escape from generating guiding and deterministic environments. Dissipative urban space aims at a rewardingly rich public experience by embodying. yet not determining. both regulated and "unregulated" physical patterns.

wilderness and urban texture
Since the earliest beginnings of civilization, mankind has strived to form urban space by limiting its outlines and bringing a system of order to the wilderness of nature. Thus street and place mark the public space clearly bound by built mass, the enclosure of the more private space.
In many modern cities of the United States the urban counterpart of street and place the continuous building mass is largely missing. Colin Rowe describes this phenomena as the unpleasant condition of urban texture of the modern city. If we want to fix that urban wilderness of the American City, we have to redraw its outlines and redefine its spaces.Master of Architecture

Architects and urban designers have a unique background to deal with the experiential qualities of cities. Quality of urban spaces is an essential aspect of livability (Southworth, 2003). The quality of urban spaces is important, specifically the interaction between buildings and the street, and it has been explored by Jane Jacobs, Jan Gehl and many more. BIM and CIM is new technology to analyze and design buildings and cities. With fast technology development, there are many options today on how to deal with the experiential qualities and make a 3D model using image-based input.

Resumo: A partir de um esforço para entender a violência urbana, procuramos contribuir com o debate sobre os antagonismos urbanos, que revelam uma oposição objetiva e subjetiva entre os sujeitos e grupos sociais da maior metrópole brasileira - São Paulo - à luz das transformações globais que tem o espaço metropolitano como condição e das redefinições inerentes à metrópole, aceleradas pela globalização dos negócios e da governança. A dinâmica de reprodução da metrópole se revela perversa, desigual, fragmentada e segregada, condição e resultado de relacionamentos urbanos para os quais se restringem os meios e os campos de negociação, assim a violência emerge como meio político e como um dos elementos capazes de construir identidades e estilos de vida, tanto dos grupos sociais estabelecidos, quanto dos grupos sociais com déficit de poder. O objetivo principal foi investigar a lógica e a difusão da violência entre os sujeitos outsiders da metrópole e seus respectivos territórios, que, como a violência organizada entre os grupos sociais mais poderosos da Região Metropolitana, ajuda a configurar uma metrópole que militariza seus problemas, fragmenta o tecido social e estilhaça os seus territórios. Realizamos observações de campo no centro histórico e na zona leste da Cidade de São Paulo e estabelecemos diálogos informais com os habitantes de áreas marginalizadas, genericamente chamadas de periferias, para então analisar as representações, autorepresentações, leituras sociais e espaciais que estes sujeitos fazem de si e do seu grupo social, e dos grupos sociais de alto poder, buscando compreender como estes sujeitos enxergam cada fração da cidade, diante do medo, da insegurança e da militarização que vem caracterizando os territórios metropolitanos.
Abstract: From an effort to understand urban violence, we contribute to the debate about the urban antagonisms, which showed an opposition between objective and subjective social groups and the subjects of major Brazilian metropolis - Sao Paulo - the light of global transformations that have the metropolitan area and as a condition of re inherent metropolis, accelerated by the globalization of business and governance. The dynamics of reproduction of the metropolis it is perverse, unequal, fragmented and segregated, condition and results of urban relationships for which the resources are limited and the fields of negotiation, so the violence as a political and emerge as one of the elements capable of building identities and lifestyles of both groups established, as social groups with a deficit of power. The main objective was to investigate the logic of violence and the spread between the subjects of outsiders and their respective metropolitan areas, such as that organized violence between the most powerful social groups in the Metropolitan Region, to help set up a city with process of militarization of their problems, the tissue fragments social and splinter the territories within the metropolis. We fielded observations in the historic center and in the eastern city of Sao Paulo and to establish informal dialogue with the residents of vulnerable areas, generally called the suburbs, then to consider the representations, auto-representations, reading and social space that they are subject you and your group, and social groups at high power, trying to understand how these subjects see each fraction of the city, ahead of fear, insecurity and the militarization that has characterized the metropolitan areas.

Nowadays we witness a rapid increase of people mobility as the world population has become more interconnected and is relying on faster transportation methods, simplified connections and shorter commuting times. Unveiling and understanding human mobility patterns have become a crucial issue to support decisions and prediction activities when managing the complexity of the today's social organization. The strict connections between human mobility patterns, the planning, deployment and management of a variety of public and commercial services have fueled the rise of a vast research activity. Throughout this work, we are more interested and mainly focusing on urban mobility because here most of the human interactions take place and mobility has the greatest impact on management and optimization of public and commercial services.
In this thesis, we provided a general framework for dealing with the modeling importance of locations from a per-user perspective and identified a few novel properties of human mobility. Also through characterizing the transition patterns driving user movement among visited places, we pave the way to propose a new mobility model in urban spaces. Meanwhile relying on the relevance of visited places, we propose a new algorithm for detecting and distinguishing Home and Workplaces. And finally, we suggest a framework for predicting the different aspects of Encounter/Colocation events. By exploiting the weighted Bayesian predictor we could enhance the accuracy of prediction w.r.t. the standard naive Bayesian and also to some other state-of-the-art predictors.

In this thesis I analyze "flash mob" and "urban gaming" practices as manifestations of online social relations in actual spaces. In contrast to theories that emphasize the democratizing and empowering effects of new communication technologies I argue that flash mobs are an example of the depoliticizing effects of online consumption and participation. I explore the highly mediated nature of flash mob performances through an analysis of the visual technologies used to document and represent them online and the social networking sites used to organize them. Through an analysis of flash mob video spectatorship and a Marxist approach to social space, I argue that the participation and activity that is demanded of users in online contexts and seen in flash mob and urban gaming events often functions to defer political action and further incorporate social space into processes of capitalist valorization.Dans ce projet de mémoire l'auteur se prête à l'étude des "foules éclairs" (flash mobs) et des "jeux urbains" (urban gaming) contemporains en tant que manifestation de relations médiatisées par ordinateur et actualisées dans des espaces actuels. À l'encontre de ceux qui voient chez les foules éclairs l'effet démocratisateur des nouvelles technologies de communication, l'auteur y voit plutôt un effet de dépolitisation de par la même participation et la communication médiatisée. L'analyse des dispositifs sociaux et visuels qui sont utilisés pour les resprésenter ainsi que pour les organiser s'ajoute à l'approche marxiste à l'espace social pour enfin rendre l'hypothèse que ces activités laissent à un temps différé l'action politique et, de plus, rend l'espace social aux effets de valorization capitaliste.

Jonathan Woetzel, Jan Mischke e Sangeeth Ram hanno dichiarato nel loro documento politico completo sull'Harvard Business Review che la crisi immobiliare nel mondo non ha bisogno di una soluzione rivoluzionaria, ma di una soluzione innovativa alla crisi degli alloggi. Sebbene i ricercatori urbani si siano a lungo interessati alla trasformazione del tessuto urbano, meno attenzione è stata prestata allo svelamento della materialità dei processi urbani. Con l'intervento statale nella fornitura di alloggi e infrastrutture critiche lontano dalla vista, gli abitanti delle città, specialmente nel sud del mondo, si stanno rivolgendo a strategie alternative per affrontare le realtà della vita urbana. Il container ha effettivamente trasceso il suo mandato principale come facilitatore del commercio globale. In questo contesto, questa tesi decostruisce la containerizzazione dall'economia politica globale agli studi urbani critici, un collegamento, spesso ignorato, nella letteratura tradizionale. Più specificamente, questa tesi valuta la normalizzazione delle anomalie urbane, come la containerizzazione dello spazio urbano. La tesi esplora anche gli effetti negativi dell'urbanistica dei container, in particolar modo il rischio per la pianificazione spaziale e per lo sviluppo urbano sostenibile. La containerizzazione dello spazio urbano è un processo epocale e un momento di svolta nella dinamica urbana del Ghana. Fondamentalmente, il contenier antropomorfizza la condizione urbana. Il contenitore analizza perfettamente la nuda vita ed espone le realtà vissute di un'ampia fascia della popolazione urbana all'interno della logica del governo neoliberale locale. Questa tesi sottoscrive l'idea che i concetti di interruzione, slancio e rischio siano utili per comprendere i meccanismi e la struttura per la teorizzazione della materialità dei processi urbani come la containerizzazione dello spazio urbano. La tesi adotta approcci sia qualitativi che quantitativi, utilizzando sei quartieri all'interno dell'area metropolitana di Accra del Ghana come caso di studio principale. La tesi attinge ad ulteriori casi comparativi prendendo in considerazione città del Regno Unito, Sud Africa e Stati Uniti d'America. La strategia empirica è costituita anche da dati secondari tratti da varie fonti. L'analisi mostra che mentre l'urbanistica dei container funge da simbologia espressiva di grandezza architettonica, monumentalismo e ostentata dimostrazione di una vita rispettosa dell'ambiente nel discorso urbano occidentale, tali interventi nel sud del mondo sono tentativi genuini da parte delle famiglie a basso reddito di rivendicare il diritto alla città. Questa tesi mostra che la crisi e l'ethos della rabbia contro il mercato immobiliare tradizionale hanno accelerato e amplificato la transizione verso la sperimentazione dei "conteiner" come processo alternativo di abitazione e sostentamento urbano. L'analisi spazio-temporale a livello di quartiere rivela che la stabilità e resistenza del materiale, l'accessibilità economica e un senso di immediatezza sono alla base del fascino dei container. Per molti, l’istallazione dei container ha ridotto alcune incertezze della vita urbana garantendo una transizione stabile nel mercato immobiliare formale. L'analisi mostra anche che tale fenomeno ad Accra è una conseguenza della frammentazione nell'ordine economico e sociale. Grazie a questa tesi è stato dimostrato come lo sviluppo dei conteiners non è più un processo marginale nel tessuto urbano, ma sta diventando sempre più normalizzato ed egemonizzato. La tesi discute anche le implicazioni dell'urbanistica dei container sulla deprofessionalizzazione della progettazione urbana e l'illusione del controllo da parte delle autorità locali riguardo alla manifestazione incrementale e disordinata dei processi urbani informali.Jonathan Woetzel, Jan Mischke, and Sangeeth Ram once wrote a comprehensive policy paper in the Harvard Business Review that the world’s housing crisis doesn’t need a revolutionary solution. Assuredly, what the world needs is an innovative solution to the housing crisis. Though urban researchers have long been concerned with the transformation of the urban fabric, less attention has been paid to the unraveling of the materiality of urban processes. With state intervention in housing and critical infrastructure provision far from sight, urban dwellers, especially in the global south, are turning to alternative strategies to deal with the realities of urban life. The container has effectively transcended its core mandate as the facilitator of global trade. Against this backdrop, this thesis deconstructs containerization from the global political economy to critical urban studies, a link, frequently ignored, in mainstream literature. More specifically, this thesis investigates the normalization of urban anomalies, such as the containerization of urban space. The thesis also explores the negative effects of container urbanism, mostly the risk to spatial planning and sustainable urban development. The containerization of urban space is an epoch-defining process and a watershed moment in the urban dynamic of Ghana. Fundamentally, the container anthropomorphizes the urban condition. The container perfectly analogizes bare life and exposes the lived realities of a large section of the urban population within the logic of glocal neoliberal governance. This thesis subscribes to the notion that the concepts of disruption, momentum, and risk are useful for understanding the mechanisms and framework for theorizing the materiality of urban processes such as the containerization of urban space. The thesis adopts both qualitative and quantitative approaches, using six neighborhoods within the Accra Metropolitan Area of Ghana as the primary case study. The thesis draws further comparative cases from cities in the United Kingdom, South Africa, and the United States of America. The empirical strategy also consists of secondary data drawn from various sources. The analysis shows that whereas container urbanism serves as an expressive symbology of architectural grandeur, monumentalism, and an ostentatious display of environmentally conscious living in the western urban discourse, such interventions in the global south are genuine attempts by low-income households to claim the right to the city. This thesis shows that the crisis and the ethos of rage against the traditional property market have accelerated and magnified the transition towards experimentation with ‘containers’ as an alternative process of urban housing and livelihood. The spatiotemporal neighborhood-level analysis reveals that material durability, affordability, and a sense of immediacy underpins the allure of container improvisation. For many, the improvisation of the container has reduced some uncertainties of urban life by ensuring a stable transition into the formal property market. The analysis also shows that container improvisation in Accra is a consequence of fragmentation in the economic and social order. If this thesis has been clear on one singularity, it is that container improvisation is no longer a fringe process in the urban built environment, but increasingly becoming normalized, and hegemonized. The thesis also discusses the implications of container urbanism on the de-professionalization of urban design and the illusion of control by local authorities regarding the incremental and disorderly manifestation of informal urban processes.

It demands to unfold the possibilities sheltered in everyday practices looking through graffiti and subsequently revealing out possibilities in graffiti looking through everyday life. It sees the urban space as a social product, which is incomplete without the tactics of the inhabitants and redefined as a result of appropriation. It looks through the history of graffiti, graffiti writers, their motivations and descriptions, working mechanism of the act, spaces chosen and their overall relations to power placed upon urban space in regard to its predescribed theoretical framework reaching out an integrated explanation on play/game theory and resistance it describes. It claims graffiti as a game of the juveniles acting in urban space as their playground.

Анотація:
This thesis contributes to discourses concerned with urban space and performance practice. It identifies ways in which built environments become performative; how the built environment performs meaning(s) within the urban context and how spatial practices of contemporary performance engage with city-spaces. The programming and order of urban space tends to fix meanings; increasingly regulated and singlepurpose city-spaces seem unable to react to informal or unplanned activities. However, this thesis suggests that urban space entails inherent opportunities for conceiving and practising space otherwise and looks at a spatial spectrum – from leftover spaces to London’s landmarks. It analyses incomplete presences in the built environment and their unexpected (re)uses, which make urban space an arena of ideas, interaction and creativity. It examines how spatial practices of performance, such as site-specific performance, audio-walks and installations, inform our (re)thinking of space, its meaning and its re-appropriation. It argues that through performative concepts and actions, space manifests a changeable and dynamic quality, rather than motionlessness and inertia. The thesis involves an interdisciplinary approach employing geography, urban, architectural and performance studies. It looks at four types of built spaces that have been used for performance purposes; a disused warehouse at 21 Wapping Lane, the converted power station housing the Tate Modern art gallery, the exterior of the National Theatre’s building and the London district of Wapping. All of these sites are awaiting, or are undergoing, major alterations in their design or planning, involving reconstruction and expansion, or total demolition. The uncertain future of these sites and buildings, the inevitable decay of their material, and the temporality of the built environment invite questions of architectural design and urban planning in terms of performance. The examination of these sites at this moment of change and the potential impact of the redevelopment plans on city life make this research timely, since the thesis emphasises the imperative of re-defining concepts of space, planning strategies, and design processes so as to imagine a less determinate, more creative urban space.

In the 2009-2010 academic year at the Kansas City Design Center, four students undertook a design project seeking to transform an underutilized traffic median into a usable urban public space. The space, known as “Triangle Park,” is located at Avenida Cesar E. Chavez (West 23rd Street), West Pennsylvania Avenue, and Southwest Boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri. This report describes the existing site conditions and challenges to creating an inviting public space. The report explains how the students arrived at the finalized design using precedent studies, multiple design iterations, and community input from the Westside and Crossroads neighborhood stakeholders. The finalized design focuses on providing connectivity between people, the site, and the city as a whole. Opportunities for connection are offered by improved pedestrian circulation and a comfortable, well-defined outdoor space. Three major structural interventions are proposed: an illuminated overhead canopy beneath the Interstate-35 overpass provides shelter for pedestrians; a raised walking path enhances an already prominent pedestrian route; and a wooden deck provides opportunities for sitting and lingering. The ability of the design to meet the community’s stated needs and to serve as a social public space is evaluated to determine the likelihood of positive and worthwhile project outcomes.

Since the beginning of Japan's post-war boom her major cities, notably Tokyo, have developed with remarkable speed but relatively little pre-planning and control. So the consequent economic benefits have been accompanied by a level of visual disorder. Public and governmental opinion has therefore recently begun seeking development-control guidelines for improving the visual quality of the urban scene. Some Japanese researchers, building partly on the work of their us colleagues, have responded by trying to identify the most aesthetically significant aspects of the urban visual landscape. This thesis contributes to this search a particularly quantitative approach. It begins with a review of urban-design aesthetic theory concentrating on more recent "psychometric" investigation. It then describes and discusses the main method of the thesis: representation of urban scenes through video stills, computergenerated images, or photographs and the exposure to these representation of groups of sample subjects, and statistical analysis of the subjects' questionnaires responses. Special attention is paid to the reliability with which the aesthetic qualities of a given urban configuration can be generalised from 2-d "perspective" views of it, and to the relationship in subject responses between physical elements like buildings and trees and abstract characteristics like "openness", "enclosure", "age", or "expectant space". These procedures are applied to questionnaires completed by Japanese subjects regarding representations of various Tokyo street scenes, and by largely British subjects regarding contrasting "old" and "new" landscapes in the Hampstead and Milton Keynes areas. Initial investigations suggest that the elements of predominant subjective significance include the proportion of visible sky, the abundance of foliage. This thesis ends by suggesting aesthetic guidelines drawn from these results, considering spatial elements and roles of foliage, and discussing aesthetic assessment for development-control purposes.

This study is aimed at identifying ways in which architecture can facilitate social cohesion and desegregation. The preindustrial vernacular, which has failed to adapt from apartheid ideologies, has been proposed to include social integration as opposed to the creation of segregated environments. This is achieved through the design of an urban waiting room and gateway at the threshold between Pretoria Station and the inner city of Pretoria. The investigation can be summarised as creating entopia, which translates to achievable space, focus on architecture of the every day, cater to real world needs of city users and address problems unique to place and setting - which in the context of Pretoria, includes the promotion of social integration.

Division is everywhere in our culture. We are divided by races, economic level, political affiliations, religion, nationality, and the list goes on, and on. Everywhere we turn we are faced with things that divide us, but we are rarely brought together. There are very few things in the world that allow us to set aside our differences and come together. Unfortunately public housing complexes in the U.S. have far too often served as a dividing factor in our society. As many public housing complexes have become synonymous with violence, neglect, and criminal activity, residents have been forced to avoid the public spaces, allowing them to become deserted community wastelands.
But we can reverse the trend. This thesis will show that by creating spaces that encourage interaction between people, such as community centers, public parks, and retail nodes, we can begin to restore social housing complexes. By removing some of the barriers from our society we can help people reconnect with their neighbors and become more involved with their communities. This thesis will show that the removal of barriers from our public life also highlights the importance of reinforcing barriers in our private lives. This thesis will also demonstrate that bringing together different groups can not be accomplished by a single building but is most effective when accomplished by a group of buildings working in conjunction with each other. This thesis will show that careful planning and architecture can serve as the catalyst for bringing together people and communities.Master of Architecture

Towns contain spaces defined by human interaction with their surroundings. In any town, certain places seem inviting while others seem cold and unfriendly. This is the result of subtle design decisions that directly effect the character of a place.

This thesis investigates a link between food security and rural to urban migration in the city of Cape Town. Philippi as a Gateway to the City of Cape Town for many people migrating from rural South Africa, especially people from the Eastern Cape is therefore a natural site for the investigation. The point of departure is that the city is defined in relation to the landscape [agriculture being the generator of this landscape]. My observations are that when migrants come from rural settlement, where land is a primary source of food, through farming at household/community/commercial level, they abandon the embodied knowledge of how to produce a livelihood from the land as this knowledge is perceived to be of little value in the city. The aim of this thesis is to propose an architecture that allows the spatial practice of the migrant, as it relates to food production, to become visible as a function of the city.

This research studies hyper-dense, non-planned, informally repurposed, and mix-use buildings in contemporary Chinese cities. Growing population density and a booming urban economy in the past decades have created an incentive to re-utilize more lucratively mid- and large-scale, mix-use buildings that occupy prime locations in cities. In these buildings where the current usage exceeds the allowed occupancy and differs from planned and designed purpose, individual actors and relevant stakeholders establish self-organized institutions, along with formal governance, to manage the common-pool resources inside these buildings. The research describes such buildings as an urban complex because of not just the mix-use quality, but also the intertwined, transforming structure of social institutions. As formal and informal institutional setups interact to invent dynamic structures for collective action and governance to address the limited common-pool resources inside the informally repurposed, mix-use buildings, a unique urbanism in the inside begins to emerge. To analyze such an environment, I propose to study such an environment through a holistic lens that takes into account the interaction of spatial organization and existing social networks. Seeing such a unique environment as a lesson for addressing urban informality and commoning in cities at large, I aim to speculate potential guiding principles for improvements or reinvention.

This dissertation focuses on the key role that big data can play in minimizing the perceived disconnect between social theory and quantitative methods in the discipline of geography. It takes as its starting point the geographic concept of space, which is conceptualized very differently in social theory versus quantitative methodology. Contrary to this disparity, an examination of the disciplinary history reveals a number of historic precedents and potential pathways for a rapprochement, especially when combined with some of the new possibilities of big data. This dissertation also proposes solutions to two common barriers to the adoption of big data in the social sciences: accessing and collecting such data and, subsequently, meaningful analysis. These methods and the theoretical foundation are combined in three case studies that show the successful integration of a quantitative research methodology with social theories on space. The case studies demonstrate how such an approach can create new and alternative understandings of urban space. In doing so it answers three specific research questions: (1) How can big data facilitate the integration of social theory on space with quantitative research methodology? (2) What are the practical challenges and solutions to moving “beyond the geotag” when utilizing big data in geographical research? (3) How can the quantitative analysis of big data provide new and useful insight in the complex character of social space? More specifically, what insights does such an analysis of relational social space provide about urban mobility and cognitive neighborhoods?

Despite the growing recognition of the utility of Marxist theories of primitive accumulation for understanding the current ‘neoliberal’ phase of capitalist development, there is a lack of in-‐depth research on the particular dynamics that ‘accumulation by dispossession’ assumes at the urban scale. This is a problem compounded by the lack of dialogue between Marxist theorists of primitive accumulation and critical urban geographers researching neoliberalism at the urban scale, particularly in the context of the Global South. This thesis addresses these shortcomings through an in-‐depth empirical case study of struggles over urban space in Accra, Ghana. Situated within a critical urban theory approach, it draws on a range of qualitative data gathered during fieldwork to explore the actors, motives, mechanisms and struggles that lie behind accumulation by dispossession at the urban scale – or accumulation by urban dispossession -‐ in Accra. This thesis argues that neoliberal structural adjustment has created a large ‘informal proletariat’ in Accra. This dispossessed surplus population has been expelled from the formal capitalist economy and therefore has to create ‘urban commons’ in order to reproduce itself outside of the capital relation. Since these commons place limits to capital’s ability to valorise the urban fabric, state-‐led accumulation by urban dispossession is a strategic response that employs a range of physical-‐legal and discursive mechanisms to overcome these limits through the gentrification of the urban environment, the enclosure of the urban commons, and the expulsion of the informal poor. The thesis also demonstrates how non-‐state actors in Accra enact accumulation by urban dispossession through governmental technologies that reshape the subjectivities of informal settlement dwellers so as to enclose them within a market logic. Rather than being passive victims, however, this thesis argues that Accra’s informal proletariat actively contests accumulation by urban dispossession by creating and defending urban commons through a combination of everyday acts of ‘quiet encroachment’ and organised collective action.
