Crime is a social phenomenon, which is closely related to human behaviour, economics, urban planning and design. The detailed research of six blocks of houses in three Lithuanian cities (Kaunas, Vilnius and Panevezys) with the highest crime rates and the most heterogeneous crimes was performed. Space syntax method, crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) and correlation analysis were applied. Research results demonstrate that thefts from cars, other thefts, crime against human health, robberies, small-scale hooliganism and intentional damage or destruction of property correlate with particular properties of urban spaces and design elements.

In civil societies, urban movements are one of the tools in the process of spatial governance. In Poland, urban activism is beginning to develop together with a budding participation in public life. Therefore, there is a need to assess the scope and efects of the urban movements' actions. The aim of the study was to determine and evaluate their impact on the spatial development in three Polish cities - Poznań, Gdańsk and Gdynia, especially in regard to the procedures in local urban planning and the process of participation. On the basis of the data collected during research and community interviews conducted in these cities, the following factors were analysed: the background and current profile of urban movements, the extent, regularity and efectiveness of their actions, the planning and spatial development initiatives undertaken, their cooperation with the local authorities and their contribution to the enhancement of participatory mechanisms.

The paper presents an attempt at assessment of marketing values of the structure of the compact city in the context of current tendencies in the development of cities and self-governmental activities. Inward urban development involves the accumulation of many urban factors and possibilities of solving the existing spatial problems. The objective is to search for complex urban planning solutions permitting the coexistence of common benefits. The features of the functional spatial structure of a compact city were analyzed in terms of the marketing value of urban space. The objective of the article is to verify the potential marketing value of the compact city, i.e. its offer. The comparative analysis of the definition, targets, attributes, tools, and products of the idea of the compact city and urban marketing leads to the ability of distinguishing potential opportunities in the process of spatial planning and urban design. The result is the countercheck of impact factors on the value of urban space as marketing products, the distinction of potential products at every stage of the planning process, and the attempt to include marketing approaches in urban planning. The research showed that the that evident relations between spatial planning and urban marketing offer possibilities of integration of both areas and achievement of quantifiable advantages.

Artykuł skupia się na oszacowaniu potencjalnych wartości marketingowych struktury funkcjonalno-przestrzennej miasta zwartego w kontekście aktualnych kierunków rozwoju miast i prowadzonej działalności planistycznej. Rozwój miast do wewnątrz stwarza możliwość rozwiązywania istniejących problemów przestrzennych lecz wiąże się również z kumulacją wielu czynników i uwarunkowań. Głównym założeniem jest poszukiwanie kompleksowych rozwiązań urbanistycznych, które przynoszą wszechstronne korzyści. Poszczególne cechy przestrzeni miejskiej wskazywane w koncepcji miasta zwartego zostały poddane analizie pod kątem ich potencjału marketingowego. Celem artykułu jest zweryfikowanie potencjalnej wartości marketingowej miasta zwartego i jego tzw. ofertowości. Analiza porównawcza definicji, celów, cech, narzędzi oraz produktów marketingu urbanistycznego i planowania zwartej struktury miejskiej prowadzi do wskazania potencjalnych możliwości uzupełnienia procesu planistycznego i projektowania urbanistycznego o podejście marketingowe. Rezultatem jest wskazanie czynników wpływających na wartość przestrzeni miejskiej jako produkt marketingowy, weryfikacja produktów możliwych do uzyskania od etapu planowania do użytkowania przestrzeni miejskiej oraz próba włączenia poszczególnych działań marketingowych w proces planistyczny. Wyraźne związki pomiędzy planowaniem i projektowaniem miast oraz marketingiem urbanistycznym wskazują na możliwość integracji obydwu dziedzin i osiąganie wymiernych korzyści.

In the 1920s, civil aviation began to flourish. Initially, single-engine airplanes carried a few kilos of mail, whereas twenty years later, there were comfortable passenger airplanes in operation that travelled hundreds, even thousands, of kilometres. Locating an airport far away from a city was a problem, as it significantly increased transport times to the city centre. Therefore, proposals were put forward to place airports on buildings in the city centre, such as on Masaryk Railway Station in Prague. For many reasons, especially security, this concept was not developed, which enabled the creation of a civil airport network located in large Czechoslovak cities, intended for both domestic flights and international connections to Western countries. This paper aims to analyse the position of airports in relation to cities, their layouts, equipment and occupancy by regular transport airlines.

Whither Warsaw

EN
Warszawa wydostała się spod nazistowskiej okupacji jako zniszczone miasto, a następnie przez cztery dekady była pod sowiecką okupacją. Ludzie, którzy przetrwali, odbudowali Stare Miasto. Warszawa szybko się rozwija i nadrabia zaległości do reszty Europy. Jednakże Warszawa doświadcza też problemów infrastrukturalnych związanych z bezładną zabudową miejską, transportem publicznym, zanieczyszczeniem środowiska i komunikacją metropolitarną bez planowania regionalnego i innych metod zarządzania przestrzennego, znanych gdzie indziej. Wynika to z historycznej awersji do centralnego planowania. Historia tego miasta zapewnia unikalną możliwość studiowania gospodarki przestrzennej na przykładzie zdewastowanych obszarów.

The legendary project of the Premiere District in Gdynia conceived in the 1930s presented an enchanting vision of the maritime façade of the city. However, the realisation of that vision was broken by the outbreak of World War II. Today new urban plans of the district have been prepared, but the concepts they propose are debatable in many ways. Aimed at greater density, they are not satisfactory as far as shaping the maritime public space is concerned. One can clearly spot the three main “sins” of the new concepts. Firstly – there is the high, dark grey Sea-Towers building on the President’s Quay with its ground floor destroying the maritime boulevard and its back turned to the city’s public space; secondly - the new master plan introducing only narrow walkways through the densely built-up area along the Quay and throughout the whole urban quarter; and last but not least – the new project of the Cultural Centre in Europe’s Council Park, which forgets to open the visual perspective to the Yachting Basin nearby. In an architectural competition that has recently finished, a much greater understanding for the spatial values of the maritime public space of Gdynia was showed by the winning design of a hotel and office building to be located by SeaTowers. But unfortunately, the efforts of those architects who won the competition cannot compensate for all the mistakes of the general urban concept.

Rivers have been an important element of urban development for centuries, affecting human life and providing a number of functions connected with commerce, defence, transport, communication and culture. Today’s river-city relationship takes on a completely different dimension and is considered through the prism of the beauty which shapes the urban landscape and is a key element in integrating its inhabitants. It affects the city’s economic fabric, for instance through increased tourism and investment. Besides, it provides an impetus for the implementation of numerous architectural and urban projects whose task is to integrate its space or, as is often the case, insure the future viability of the riverside, including former port areas. Therefore the aim of this paper is to analyse projects which represent so-called best practice in the restoration of city riverside areas using examples from Western European cities which have experienced the implementation of such projects. The paper presents an analysis of cities selected due to the availability of source materials: Düsseldorf, the largest revitalised area, followed by London and Hamburg, the smallest. It should be emphasised that the author will continue her research on the former port areas, focusing mainly on the German sites.

Changes in the attitude of local authorities towards the public participation in the decision making processes have prompted development of new methods of such involvement. As far as the urban planning is concerned, of particular potential is the so-called Public Participation Geographic Information Systems (PPGIS). One of the tools used for the purpose is a geo-questionnaire, combining the benefits of a standard questionnaire and a map, which permits collecting information on particular sites and on the respondents’ ideas on localisation of new objects and functionalities.Within the project “Geoportal supporting public participation in urban planning”, in the years 2015–2016, a study was undertaken to explore the effectiveness and usefulness of the geo-questionnaire. Five pilot studies were performed in the Poznań and Łódź agglomerations. The geo-questionnaires concerned the local spatial management plan in Rokietnica (Poznań agglomeration), landscape protection in Łódź, conception of the transportation system development in Łódź, conception of urban design of the Łazarski Market in Poznań, and the Map of Local Needs in the city center of Poznań. The aim of the study was to present the preliminary results of the initial implementations of geo-questionnaire developed within the project Geoportal supporting public participation in urban planning. The applications of geo-questionnaire have been analysed taking into account the characteristics of implementation areas, characteristics of users, the effectiveness of recruitment methods and opinions about the tool from two points of view: the respondents and the recipients of results.

The article critically analyses the book Chaos Warszawa. Porządki przestrzenne polskiego kapitalizmu [Warsaw-Chaos. Spatial Orders of Polish Capitalism] by Joanna Kusiak. An attempt at juxtaposing the said publication with other takes on today’s Warsaw space, the city’s post-World War II rebuilding, and post-1989 transformation, results in complex yet reappearing image of Warsaw as a city tainted with chaos. Considering different ways out of this stalemate, on the other hand, as in approaching the problem from another angle, is the aim of the present text. The book by Kusiak is a starting point for a discussion regarding not only space and chaos, but also theoretical discourse related to the city space and its meaning for Warsaw’s development.

In recent decades, forced migration has become a globally salient issue for both developed and developing countries. As a developing country, Turkey is a significant destination for forced migration, with more than 3.6 million Syrian immigrants. This study concentrates on the socio-spatial impacts of forced migration in Turkish cities where Syrian immigrants have been concentrated and aims to answer the question: “Does forced migration produce an urban crisis in such cities?” The study leads to a prescription about new qualities of urban planning for coping with the urban crisis through a resilience strategy.

Over the last fifty years the tendency towards a dispersion of productive activities that emerged with globalisation and the advent of telematics have fuelled processes that are changing the structure of metropolitan areas across the world. Against the background of the general process of metropolisation, it is interesting nowadays to study the characteristics, structure and development trends of a vast “hybrid” area that has grown up around the established city of Rome. The subject of this work is an analysis of the creative sector between Rome and the sea, and the potential for future development in this area.

In the early 1990s, the notion of culture-led regeneration entered the urban agenda of several European cities confronted with drastic economic changes due to losses in their industrial base. This paper critically addresses a major case in the City of Rome, indeed less affected by these phenomena. In here, the densely populated working-class districts of Ostiense and Testaccio along the Tiber River just outside the City Centre have become part for some years now of a culture-led regeneration program conveying a brand new idea of “Knowledge City” deemed able to supplant the previous image of the “Factory City.”

Creation of the built environment and research in this field pose a particularly difficult challenge nowadays. The pace of social and technological change does not allow for evolutionary development of cities and the formation of their land use according to current conditions. Creating spatial solutions that are unmatched in their contexts is becoming not only possible, but very probable (see Alexander, 1964). The development of the built environment involves not only art, technology, history, economics and law, but also philosophy, culture, medicine, psychology, sociology and many other spheres in which human life is manifested. However, only a relatively small number of disciplines such as spatial planning, urban design, urban planning, etc. (ignoring at this point the differences in the meaning of the concepts) in their application layer are meant to create space and bear responsibility for it. Also society has certain requirements of practical nature towards them.This article attempts to outline the nature of research on space urbanised by people and to determine the four main fields of research aimed at the problems of man and the built environment. In the next part, particular attention is paid to issues related to the impact of the built environment on the life of its residents in order to highlight the particular role and complexity of this area of research. This study, acting as a kind of test of the research, cannot be considered representative. Nevertheless, the analysis prompts several reflections on the current and future role of the built environment in the development of our civilisation, as well as further challenges related to it.

In the modern world, the subject of spatial planning is being increasingly raised by residents of municipalities - mainly because of the lack of a direct influence on the process of local development and aesthetics of the surroundings. Today, the primary objective of spatial planning is not only to form a proper connection between function and space but also to balance public and private interests. Constantly developed geographic spatial information systems allow not only for easy navigation around the city, but more importantly for more advanced analyses, such as the recognition of the current trends in estate development, communication systems, changes in agricultural and forest areas. The main objective of the research is to define functional-spatial links determined by social-economic needs reflected in local plans and to verify the similarities between local plans, that were drawn up in three different periods (PRL, the transition period, and in accordance with nowadays applicable laws), how the changing economic, social goals and current needs of the city affected the continuation of the adopted solutions. The study shows that despite changes in the law and abandoning the idea of industrial city, in which the landscape is dominated by blast furnaces and mine shafts, the basic trend has been maintained and local plans prepared in subsequent years form a continuum, and despite the different scales of development are closely linked. At the same time it has been shown that modern GIS tools enable verification of the continuity of spatial policy of the municipality.
