Searching for new development in areas of the city

Abstract

The reason of shaping and building cities is primarily to improve the quality of life of inhabitants. Changes in space in cities concern not only their basic functioning principles but also the transformation of structures and systems (green areas, communications andother). Regardless, spatial policy is based on the continuous search for new services and economic activity to raise standards. The article describes a study which makes an attempt to identify the main desired features that can be taken into account while formulating concepts for planning and designing a prospective city. The study was intended to analyze terms promoted in literature or labels of a desired city, that shape the aspirations of future inhabitants. The city's image-building activities concern the future measured in economic, social and environmental effects. Modelling the future potential concepts of a city development as part of planning for its development, is one of the ways of thinking about the future. Using mathematical and spatial models for this purpose, we acquire knowledge on the possible variants of the city development, as well as measurable effects of this type of phenomena

The FCM Model as a Method of Public Space Management

“…To conduct a comprehensive analysis of high-quality public spaces based on the humanistic approach, a list of variables was developed through expert interviews, encompassing factors outlined by UN-Habitat in 2012. These variables were then organized into larger categories based on common characteristics, employing a process known as "quality aggregation" (Skiba et al, 2018). The model incorporated a combination of factors, including clean air, inclusiveness, greenery, noise pollution, safety, cleanliness, historical value, accessibility to public transport, functions, and the number of bicycle paths.…”

“…Specific studies have focused on the spatial development of the city of Zielona Góra, building upon Kevin Lynch's ideas of mental mapping and exploring the perception of urban space (Skiba, 2006;Skiba, 2018;Skiba et al, 2018). These works extensively analyze the mental maps of Zielona Góra's residents, emphasizing the observation of the city's architectural character and symbolic places.…”

The Effectiveness of Master Plans: Case Studies of Biologically Active Areas in Suburban Zones

“…Rapid urbanization processes can be observed in many cities around the world [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Similarly, the dynamic development of Wrocław in Poland in recent decades has strongly affected the suburban zone, with it coming under the pressure of urban sprawl [9][10][11].…”
