The purpose of this study is to assess how inhabitants of the Lidköping community value or perceive their surrounding in relation to urban planning, specifically the new Hamnstaden urban development. This perception was collected as data mainly through photos, conceived here as visual ethnography, combined with written responses. As the trend of urbanization continues to grow around the world, who or what is determining how cities are built? What elements of our urban environments do we value, and how do we measure these values? Many of the current trends with urban development are inconsistent with sustainable development and new perspectives on the construction of our cities are required to make cities more sustainable. This research uses a qualitative research approach in a case study in an urban development project in Lidköping to attempt to address some of these questions. The results are very diverse, but the highest-valued elements according to the participants were green space, old buildings, pedestrian space, public art, and cafes.

Visby is a city that at first glance is of medieval origins. The popular image of scientists today is that the city was formed in the Middle Ages. According to some of the researchers Visby was formed during the Viking Age, it is based on the basis that the area has been used for a long period. Urban development in the Nordic countries is complex and there are different opinions as to why the Nordic cities emerge. It is important to shed light on the underlying process on why cities are emerging to provide clarity as to why Visby city is emerging. The aim of this paper is to do analyze the theories of several researchers, considering the urban development of Visby. The results show that the area of Visby has been a place that has been used since Stone Age, during the Viking age the area was a place for season trade. According to the archaeological sources is it not an indication of at town during the Viking age, because of the lack of permanent buildings.

Is the concept of the urban utopia now defunct? This is a study of the modern urban utopias of the late 20th century, investigated their recent qualities in respect to capitalist mode of production. Accordingly, a recent example, that of Dubai, will be studied and its rapid growth over the last 20 years will be questioned. The primary objective of this thesis is to provide an understanding of how and to what extent flexible accumulation requires a spatial fix, in particular in new geographies, and mobilizes urban utopias for its own sake. The research will rely on the premise that modern urban utopias are mere reflections of capitalist ideologies.

Abstract Industrial Economic and Environment are the main systems that construct the city we have in nowadays. The industrial economic moves the city and keeps it getting growth. The environment system lasts out the Urban Development timelessly and carries on the rubbish brought from the city activities. For a long time, the Taiwan government always aims for the high economic growth as its goal. However, the progress is much over the load and ability to the environment system. Thus it can aridly gets balance from the time of environment purification as well as the speed, quality & quantity which come from the process of economical movement. As the time goes and the situation of losing balance gets more worse. Later, it becomes the environment pollution and the water pollution of the river system is the most serious issue among those numerous ones. In nowadays, people analyses and solve the problem from the aspect of Environment Engineering as well as consider the interaction between the environment system & Urban Development, and the shortage thinking of integrated, constructive and macroscopic point of view. The main purpose to do this research is to break away the old traditional mode. Such as studying the water pollution from the viewpoint of Environment Engineering, taking System Dynamics as the foundation, having the systematical macro-aspect, idealities of construction to the river pollution in Kao-Hsiung City, plans to industrial development, policies to the government finances, setting up dynamic models to the subsystems. Also, processing the strategic simulation with the ITHINK software which is used to simulate distinct prevention of the water pollution, and probe the time concern between the service of the urban sewerage system to sewers and pollution raised speed. To make an advanced step to this research, the Urban Growth Management Strategy Analysis and BOT Public & Private Joint Model are subsumed and imported to explore the influence of long-rang variation trend to the urban water pollution. The result from the research shows that the outcomes of the sewer improvement is somewhat restricted by its lacked ability of purification, even though the improvement of sewer the service of the urban sewerage system can hold back the polluted water flow into the river surface. So, the purification speed of the river can hardly to catch up the discharge speed of polluted water. And even when the service of the urban sewerage system reaches to 100%, but the long-term accumulation has made the river hardly to reach to its standard load and ability. Thus it can be seen, the temporary solution is unable to solve the serious river pollution. The permanent cure is to integrate the Urban Growth Management Strategy. According to the simulation result, we find the water pollution in Kao-Hsiung City can be controlled and solved by combining the Urban Growth Management Strategy (Industrial reforming, levying polluted water fee), encouraging people to play a part to the sewer establishment, drain away the polluted water and renovating the river. With the result that it shows, it needs the government to study and draft prevention and rules with traditional aspect from environment engineering in the near future. More over than that, it needs the government to consider the ration between Urban Development and water pollution with integrated urban systematical viewpoint. Finally, the problem of water pollution can overall obtains the improvement effectively.
