Terms of use: Documents in AbstractThis paper investigates how the global discourse on creative economy is interpreted in a developing country context, and in particular the case of Indonesia. We accomplish this by examining how this discourse is institutionalized in several cities. We found that the discourse is interpreted differently across localities. Bandung appears as a special case of the knowledge-based creative industry development, as it is strongly supported by academia and communities who really wanted to experiment with this policy narrative. The Bandung case also provides an insight that the creative economy, as a relatively new idea, develops not only as a discourse, but also as a workable framework for development policies. Meanwhile, other cities seem to pragmatically rebrand the policy to drive economic development, without considering the local contexts, whereby traditional cultural industries are rebranded as creative industries, although they hardly perform new knowledge learning and innovation.Apart from this, as we learn from Bandung there are possibilities for a developing country like Indonesia to foster the creative economy by reshaping local institutions that will support successful experimentation with this new policy idea.

“…Different studies consider land use and the urban expansion as a combined outcome of societal needs, supported by planning preparation actions [10][11][12][13]. Understanding long-term dynamics of the landscape and transitions of land use is fundamental to dimension the past and future effects and for the recognition of present landscape structure [14][15][16][17][18].…”

Medium/small sized cities create a polycentric urban system representing the backbone of their territory, characterized by profound changes on land use. The objective of this study is to evaluate the spatial and temporal dynamics of land use in a medium/small city in Portugal during the period 1958-2011, and the relation with the planning framework. The assessment involves land use changes recognition in the period 1958-2011, calculation of the stability grade indicator, and the losses and gains between classes. The rate of artificialization and its relation with the planning framework was also evaluated. The results for the city of Viseu showed a main decrease in annual crops and arable lands, with an increase of the continuous and discontinuous urban fabric. The changes are systematic transitions, marked by planning framework and its typology, objectives and scale enforcement. A plan addressing the city encouraged land use changes in the fringe, while a municipal Master Plan determined sequent transformation in all areas. The land use changes and the artificialization processes enabled the identification of three periods where planning framework was forthright. The study underlines the importance of a planning framework for medium/small sized cities for urban sprawl and artificialization processes.

“…However, most of these studies have concentrated on large metropolitan regions due to their significant influences on socio-economic and environmental conditions [14,16]. In contrast, the smaller cities and towns, where scattered urban growth is more prominent [17][18][19], have been given little attention [20][21][22]. As a result, the conceptual ideas regarding urbanization have been primarily influenced by the studies in large cities.…”

Urbanization in Small Cities and Their Significant Implications on Landscape Structures: The Case in Ethiopia

et al. 2020

Fundamental ideas concerning urbanization are primarily based on studies performed in large cities. It is of interest to study whether or not similar phenomena take place in smaller cities. Small cities are an inherent component of urbanization, and in the future, the majority of globalization is expected to occur in small and mid-sized cities. Understanding the effects of small cities on landscape structures is, therefore, an essential component in planning city land expansion. Accordingly, this study focused on six towns of the Oromia Special Zone Surrounding Finfinnee, Ethiopia, which is broadly known to be experiencing dramatic growth. Time-series Landsat images from 1987 to 2019 with an integrated method, landscape metrics, and built-up density analysis were employed to characterize and compare the dynamics of landscape structures, urban expansion patterns, process, and overall growth status in the towns. The results highlight that all the towns experienced accelerated growth in the built-up areas and highly scattered nature in spatial growth. Landscape ecology analysis confirmed a highly fragmented urban landscape, a significant loss of natural land covers, and disconnected and complicated agro-vegetation patches in all towns, suggesting a lack of rigorous implementation of the master plan. Results also indicated that the Oromia Special Zone surrounding Finfinnee has failed to control urban sprawl to surrounding ecological sensitive areas. The study results, more broadly, highlight that the small cities would have a limited physical and demographic footprint and relatively less contribution to the national economic agglomeration; nonetheless, they can have a notable and important impact in terms of their ecological and environmental influence. Hence, the study suggests policies for monitoring such dynamics and protecting agro-environmental connectivity with particular focus on the small cities.Sustainability 2020, 12, 1235 2 of 19 infrastructure and services. Whereas a compact spatial form can assist in implementing an enhanced transportation system as well as minimize the consumption of traffic energy-efficiency and resource utilization such as water pipe networks and drainage system [6,7]. However, some studies argue that the potential for damage to urban green spaces [8], increased traffic congestion, pollution, and crowded services [9] are notable shortcomings of compacting urban development. Even though there is some controversy regarding spatial growth types, the general agreement is that the urban spatial morphology can determine the social, environmental, and ecological situations of a city. Consequently, exploration of the urban spatial dynamics and landscape structures analysis continues to of interest due to its high importance in creating sustainable cities.Several studies have investigated the effects of urban expansion on the landscape composition and configuration [10][11][12], investigating the existing and projected urban land dynamics [13], and exploring the patterns and possible drivers [...
