2. 1. Rethinking Social Impact Assessment through Urban Design: Towards designerly evaluation with a socio-form approach

   Author : Joanna Gregorowicz-Kipszak; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SIA; analysis; transversality; SOCIO-FORM approach; research through design; built form; the social; urban design; space of possibilities; assessment; social impact; knowledge hub;

   Abstract : Tools for assessing the social impact of urban designs are being developed internationally and in Swedish municipalities. While methodological development is underway, a theoretical discussion about the implications of urban design on social impact assessment (SIA) and its critical potential is rare, leading to the situation whereby much SIA is instrumental and might act against reinforcing and improved integration of the social dimension into the practice of urban planning and design.

4. 2. URBAN SEGREGATION AND URBAN FORM : From residential segregation to segregation in public space

   Author : Ann Legeby; Lars Marcus; Eva Öresjö; Anna-Johanna Klasander; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; urban segregation; urban form; urban design; housing segregation; residential segregation; public space; co-presence; public life; spatial affordance; Architecture; Arkitektur;

   Abstract : Urban segregation is considered a major social problem in Sweden and several national anti-segregation initiatives have been launched to decrease social and ethnic segregation but so far only with marginal effects (SOU 2005:29). Urban design and town planning are rarely the focus in national anti-segregation initiatives; the architectural issue has mainly been confined to matters concerning housing policies. READ MORE

   Abstract : Anticipating future demands in skills and workforce development has been a longstanding practice and challenge for governments and policy-makers. While such developments are examined closely at the national and regional levels, an even more pressing issue is to advance our understanding of how people who take on jobs in new and emerging fields embark on and persist in their occupational pathways.

   Author : Karin Book; Lena Eskilsson; Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; urban development; land use; development control; built environment; transport;

   Abstract : Improved transport possibilities give rise to changes in land use; settlement patterns and activity structures and likewise the spatial distribution of different activities form the basis of transport need. Transport structure and built environment influence one another, and in order to be able to develop better urban policy it is important to be aware of the relations between them. READ MORE

   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; territoriality; interface; social sustainability; morphology; commons; stewardship; open space; yards; spatial analysis; Architecture; Arkitektur;

   Abstract : Implicit in any urban design is a negotiation between public and private interests. Such a negotiation is articulated and made legible in the facades, fences and even more subtle edges separating this from that. A complex variety of spatial situations are produced depending on how spaces are framed, how interfaces are materialized. READ MORE
