Turismo urbano na cidade de São Paulo: o deslocamento do CBD e seus reflexos na hotelaria / Turismo urbano na cidade de São Paulo: o deslocamento do CBD e seus reflexos na hotelariaTeles, Reinaldo Miranda de Sá 12 September 2006 (has links)
Este trabalho discute o Turismo Urbano na cidade de São Paulo e a estreita relação dessa modalidade turística com os deslocamentos do CBD Central Business District. Ao tratar dessa questão, verifica-se que, assim como as outras grandes metrópoles do mundo, São Paulo indica uma tendência a ser palco de um complexo movimento turístico. No entanto, a falta de reflexão e de promoção para o turismo, aliada à falta de políticas públicas, faz com que a cidade não se revele enquanto destino turístico. Este estudo, fundamentado na literatura de ordem geral e específica e no trabalho de campo que resultou no mapeamento de áreas, buscou entender o movimento dos CBD e sua relação com o Turismo Urbano. Os centros de negócios, acompanhados de infra-estrutura como hotéis e espaços para eventos, norteou as investigações para esclarecer a dinâmica do turismo na cidade. Com base na conectividade existente entre a hotelaria, os espaços para eventos e os atrativos, essa pesquisa revela a riqueza da infra-estrutura e de equipamentos existente em São Paulo, revelando uma estreita relação entre parte da oferta e a migração do CBD. / This work is based in Urban Tourism in the city of Sao Paulo and the relation of its tourist mode with the displacements of CBD Central Business District.

The Changing Role of Downtowns: An Examination of the Condition of Cities and Methods to Reinvent the Urban CoreByrd, Kevin Ryan 01 June 2004 (has links)
Downtowns across America have changed as a result of suburbanization. Population shifts and changing land consumption patterns caused by advancements in technology, such as the Interstate and the Internet, along with social and economic factors, alter downtown development. The city, and particularly its downtown, used to represent the nucleus for all commercial, retail, and industrial activities. As population and commerce suburbanized, the 'central' business district became one of several business centers and lost much of its retail function. Currently, cities are re-evaluating their development strategies to determine the best methods to attract people back to the urban core and to regain the vitality that once defined city life.
Efforts to redevelop downtowns typically assume the characteristics of place-based strategies by following either infrastructure strategies or consumer strategies. The former method is more traditional, with attention given to specific land uses, such as residential, retail, or entertainment activities. Essentially, infrastructure strategies rely on the 'build it and they will come' motto. Consumer strategies strive to attract young professionals, single-parent families, and "empty nesters" for urban living by accentuating amenities unique to the city lifestyle.
Roanoke, Virginia serves as a case study for evaluating suburbanization trends and methods of redevelopment for a small- to medium-sized city. By calculating and analyzing household and office employment projections, the Roanoke market shows signs of strength among young, renter households and Central Business District office employment. With a downtown residential market emerging and downtown office employment growing, adaptive reuse of urban space may prove to be Roanoke's method of reinventing its downtown by orchestrating a consumer-based redevelopment effort. / Master of Urban and Regional Planning

Vad krävs för att nya pendlarparkeringar i Gävle kommun skall fungera?Öberg, Sara, Andersson, Hanna January 2021 (has links)
Pendling in till stadens centrum orsakar trafikköer och dålig luft samtidigt som fordonstrafik står för en av de största utsläppskällorna av växthusgaser i Sverige. Pendelparkeringar representerar ett mer miljövänligt alternativ men det utnyttjas inte till fullo. Detta examensarbete har som syfte att undersöka hur användandet av pendlarparkeringar kan främjas, som ett led i ett mer hållbart resande inom Gävle kommun. Studiens mål är att skapa ett kunskapsunderlag som kan guida kommunen att främja utvecklingen i praktiken. Examensarbetet utgick från aspekter kopplat till pendlarparkeringar, framtagna i förstudien till detta arbete. Studien syftar till att svara på forskningsfrågorna Hur har de sex slumpmässigt utvalda svenska kommunerna arbetat med (de sedan tidigare utpekade) aspekterna kostnad, beteende, tid och tillgänglighet för att främja användandet av pendlarparkeringar? och Hur ser potentiella användare av pendlarparkeringar i Gävle kommun på vikten av kostnad, beteende, tid och tillgänglighet för att motivera deras användande? Examensarbetet består av två olika metoder, en enkätundersökning för potentiella användare och en intervjustudie med de sex slumpmässigt utvalda svenska kommunerna. Två kommuner deltog via videosamtal och resterande fyra deltog via mail. Både kommunerna och respondenterna av enkäten ansåg att billig parkeringsavgift och bra biljettsystem var viktigt för att bilburna skall välja att använda pendlarparkeringar. Samtliga kommuner tryckte även på vikten av god tillgänglighet till kollektivtrafik samtidigt som respondenterna i enkätundersökningen tyckte att turtätheten i kollektivtrafiken var viktig. Aspekter som kostnad, tid och bekvämlighet är val som prioriteras högt medan miljö inte får lika stort fokus. Studien visar på att individer gör val efter det som gynnar dem själv. / Commuting into the city center causes traffic jams and bad air at the same time as vehicle traffic accounts for one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions in Sweden. Shuttle parking represents a more environmentally friendly alternative but it is not fully utilized. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how the use of commuter parking can be promoted, as part of a more sustainable travel within Gävle municipality. The aim of the study is to create a knowledge base that can guide the municipality to promote development in practice. The degree project was based on aspects linked to commuter parking, developed in the feasibility study for this project. The study aims to answer the research questions How have the six randomly selected Swedish municipalities worked with (the previously designated) aspects cost, behavior, time and accessibility to promote the use of commuter parking? and How do potential users of commuter car parks in Gävle municipality view the importance of cost, behavior, time and accessibility to justify their use? The degree project consists of two different methods, a survey for potential users and an interview study with the six randomly selected Swedish municipalities. Two municipalities participated via video calls and the remaining four participated via email. Both the municipalities and the respondents of the survey considered that cheap parking fees and a good ticket system were important for car users to choose to use commuter parking. All municipalities also emphasized the importance of good accessibility to public transport, while the respondents in the survey thought that the frequency of public transport was important. Aspects such as cost, time and convenience are choices that are given high priority, while the environment does not receive as much focus. The study shows that individuals make choices based on what benefits them.

Spatial Dynamics Of Producer Services In AnkaraGokce, Bugra 01 June 2008 (has links) (PDF)
In the last three decades, depending on advances in communication technologies, there is a popular discussion that urban functions can be located independent from space. In other words, each urban function can locate to any zones of a city due to communication technology-based connections, in a so called deterritorialization. These new sprawl-based locations can be seen in the central business districts (CBD) of cities, especially by producer service functions. This thesis will investigate the validity of deterritorialization-based post-modern theoretical studies concerning recent transformation of CBDs based solely on the Western city, with reference to the distribution of such activities in Ankara and its CBD structure. Producer services can be used to test the space relations of urban functions due to their complexity and more flexible connection capacities.
For this purpose, first the concepts and the fields of concepts that are based on CBDs and producer services are examined. Thereafter, these theoretical and analytical frameworks are tested in a comprehensive evaluation of urban and central growth. Ankara has been chosen as the subject of the case study due to the new locational nodes in the city and the significant threat of decline in the CBD of Kizilay, which is still the main core of city. The relations between urban space and the locational preferences of producer services in Ankara are assessed to illustrate the reterritorialization-based movements within the urban space. Finally, the implications and contributions of the study and also suggestions for possible further studies are presented as concluding remarks.

The internationalisation of urban planning strategies : environmental sustainable urban centres in the Kingdom of Saudi ArabiaAl Atni, Basim Sulaiman January 2016 (has links)
Since the early 1960s the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has had several urban development strategies that have been designed to spearhead development through the deployment of internationally recognised architects and urban planners. The adoption of this strategy has opened debate on the paradigm shift away from restrictive planning regulations at both national and regional levels. The process has enabled foreign policies and ideas based on internationalisation to drive the new urban centre developments in Saudi cities including Riyadh and Dammam. In 2008, this key shift saw the traditional restrictive urban development strategies, which prescribed – among other things – the number of storeys a building could have, being replaced by a strategy permitting an unlimited number of storeys. This dissertation examines the role played by international firms of architects and developers in shaping how architecture is practised in the Kingdom. The process has led to the adoption of modern architectural styles and has advanced a modernised planning approach, whereby traditional architectural structures and the use of local materials have gradually been replaced by modern styles, high-tech buildings and the use of new foreign materials, causing the loss of historic buildings throughout the country. This is seen by many to constitute an injury to national culture and could lead to cultural conflicts that may be exacerbated by the possible importation of planning principles and regulations. A chronological review of internationalisation and how international architectural practices have been mobilised to work in the KSA reveals the impact of this process on the Kingdom’s urban development. While this may be desired by the authorities, it has been argued that the process does not seem to provide any clear strategy for the implementation of the desired sustainable urban centre development in the KSA. Hence, in the absence of clear directives, international architectural firms operate their own set of sustainability criteria to deliver the desired urban centres in the Kingdom. There has been little or no research into the mobilisation of international firms and foreign policies, nor into the impact of internationalisation on the development of planning codes, the modernisation of urban centres and the sustainability approach espoused by the KSA’s planning development strategy. This study investigates the impact of the participation of international firms in Saudi Arabia’s urban development. Government planning regulations and master plans are reviewed and a case study is conducted to identify the factors behind the engagement of international firms in the delivery of two capital projects: the King Abdullah Financial District in Riyadh and the Central Business District in Dammam. The study also explores the concept of sustainability and the engagement of foreign firms from the perspectives of various stakeholders through face-to-face interviews and a structured questionnaire. It establishes how the role of internationalisation as a driver of policy mobility has impacted on the new sustainable urban centres and in addition, how internationalisation has been operationalised through the notion of sustainability. Although planning codes and regulations may have been developed with good intent by the international firms concerned, their implementation has not yielded the desired result of delivering sustainable urban centres in the KSA. Thus, there is a conflict between a rapid urban development which seeks to integrate historical and traditional contexts on one hand, and the continual import and impact of globalised morphologies on the other. This leads to clear demarcations in urban evolution, making this conflict one of the key characteristics of emerging urban centres in the KSA.

An exploration of the role of waterfront development in urban regeneration : Mossel Bay as case study / Ruan le RouxLe Roux, Ruan January 2015 (has links)
This study evaluated the role of waterfront development in urban regeneration, as waterfronts
are used as the element that re-establishes the physical links between parts of the city.
Consequently, waterfront development is an essential open resource where visitors can carry
out diverse social and cultural activities on a daily basis. Furthermore, CBDs benefit from lively
waterfronts, which become popular tourist attractions. There is a dire need for urban
regeneration.
The study focuses on the evolution of waterfront development through the urban morphology
modelsto identify the starting point of central places and the factors that may have an effect on
the growth of a city. Just as urban regeneration forms part of the evolution of cities and
waterfronts, and as the cities and waterfronts developed so did the term urban regeneration
evolve to its present form. Thus, one has to understand what components have an influence on
the term urban regeneration and what the benefits are. Thereafter, the different aspects of
urban development and urban regeneration are incorporated into waterfront development to
understand the role of waterfront development in urban regeneration.
As waterfront development took place, the first port was developed to ensure transportation of
goods from one place to the next. Subsequently, the role of the waterfront became economically
driven. As time passed and the old harbour fronts fell into disuse, a new role for the waterfront
was needed, and the new role came with waterfront regeneration. Historically, waterfront
regeneration was only seen as imperative when a waterfront area is critical for the growth of the
city. Notably, when there is no use for the area and the city is in the decline period, waterfront
regeneration will be a priority.
Consequently, the empirical study focused on exploring this role of waterfront development by
means of two international case studies (Baltimore Inner Harbour, Toronto Harbour Front) and
two national case studies (V& A Waterfront, Mossel Bay CBD and Port Precinct Plan). A
qualitative approach was selected because it focuses on collecting and analysing information in
as many forms as possible. Furthermore, a qualitative approach aims to achieve an in-depth
understanding of the matter, which is important to allocate the role of waterfront development in
urban regeneration. As the study focuses on understanding the role of waterfront development
as part of urban regeneration within cities, it explores the methodological framework of case
studies.
The case study approach involves one or more circumstances within a bounded system. As
some of the case studies can be irrelevant to a study, the qualitative approach was appropriate
for this study, because it focuses on eliminating unwanted case studies. This is importantto
ensure that case studies do not influence the result. To ensure that the relevant information is
selected, the multiple case study design was used.
The study concludes that waterfront development has three primary roles in urban regeneration
and that these roles have evolved over time. In conclusion, the role of waterfront development is
not only economically motivated, but also environmentally and socially significant. / MSc (Urban and Regional Planning), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015
