The Greater Vancouver Region is in an era of growth, fundamental change, and reexamination of regional and local quality of life. Within this context, the complete community policies of the Livable Region Strategic Plan have been developed to help achieve a region where human community flourishes within the built and natural environment. At the same time as these policies respond to change, they also demand significant alterations to community and regional priorities and practices. Accepting and pursuing complete community objectives of compactness, diversity and choice in existing suburban communities represents particular challenges. While regional policy reflects a general appreciation of this fact, understanding these challenges from a local perspective is essential to successfully weaving complete community goals into the existing regional fabric, and is the problem addressed by this thesis. Through both a literature review and case study approach, the research sought to identify the factors which support and constrain progress towards more complete communities through local planning in established neighbourhoods. The thesis focuses on the case study of the Lynn Valley community planning process in order to explore how the local perspective might modify inherently regional complete community goals and expectations. The study concludes that achieving a balance between regional goals and local interests is most critical in the Greater Vancouver metropolitan setting. The Lynn Valley case suggests that factors affecting community planning outlined in the literature are realistic and valid in practice. It further suggests that the prospects for achieving complete communities in established neighbourhoods will be influenced by local perspectives on: growth, change, aging in place, and a spirit of fairness in accepting change among local communities. The complete community vision resonates at the local level. Complete community objectives and strategies may be accepted locally to the degree they are seen as a means to achieve community aspirations and improve the quality of life of residents over their life cycle. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of / Graduate

The project is to develop practical strategies for an urban village in Beijing which integrates programs of infrastructure, public space and community life. First, it contains research which clarifies what is urban village and its formation process under Beijing’s extension background; the inhabitants, the value, and the situation of urban village. Second, it includes clear analyses of the location, land-use, spatial condition, and typology of streets and nodes; the main problems and corresponding interventions, and develops the strategy as integrated & centralized program system. Finally, the project develops the masterplan, the system model and the layers in which the programs really integrate and work together.

For this, we intend to discuss how the Communities of Life and Alliance, are presented as a proposal for the development of a religious life that is able to contribute to the maintenance and strengthening of religious belonging within Catholicism, with the context of modernity. / Este trabalho pretende discutir a Comunidade Doce Mãe de Deus como parte de um fenômeno particular presente no catolicismo Contemporâneo, denominado de Novas Comunidades ou Comunidades de Vida e Aliança (CVA), no qual se objetiva analisar como a pertença é construída e/ou reconstruída, a partir da percepção das principais formas de sociabilidade desenvolvidas na comunidade, e como os membros interpretam a vivência da lógica comunitária. Para isso, pretendemos discutir como as Comunidades de Vida e Aliança, apresentam-se enquanto proposta para o desenvolvimento de uma vida religiosa que seja capaz de contribuir para a manutenção e fortalecimento do pertencimento religioso dentro do catolicismo, tendo como contexto a modernidade.
