“…In regions of strategic development natural resources, human resources and infrastructure are interconnected and integrated to generate optimal output. Many scholars and researchers have identified theories and models of regional development including stage ideas, location factors, and sectoral transformation (North, 1955;Birch, 1971;Friedmann, 1986). Various studies also explore not only the linking of rural and urban areas or local-national development but also transforming developing nations into developed countries (Monastiriotis, 2014;Pike et al, 2016).…”

The government of Indonesia continues to promote infrastructure development in various sectors such as road transport, ports, and new railway lines. One of the large infrastructure projects that aims to increase regional and national economic growth is the high-speed rail line linking Jakarta and Bandung. The connecting of these two major cities (Jakarta in the northwest of Java Island and Bandung in the south-west) will significantly contribute to the country's gross domestic product (GDP). As one of the areas that will be connected to the high-speed rail line, Walini has tremendous potential for development. There is the opportunity to develop the new city as a center for agriculture commodities such as tea and rubber, but other city development formats should also be considered, such as business capital, government functions, or IT. The development of Walini requires proper planning and a comprehensive conceptual design which focuses on the vision developed in the initial blueprint. This research aims to conduct a comprehensive study by considering development prospects and regional characteristics, as well as added value to increase competitiveness in terms of infrastructure, technological readiness, and urban development. It will combine approaches from both qualitative perspectives and quantitative investigation, using in-depth interviews and a decision matrix as evaluation tools to select the best alternative for the direction of city planning. This study produces a strategic recommendation for government and other related stakeholders about regional development and urban city planning for Walini as a new IT-based city and technology park.

“…Birch and Bourne note that we can distinguish fi ve main stages in a housing estate's life cycle: construction, development and intense use, transition period, and slow degradation, and a shift to the fi nal stage-either shrinking and decline or rehabilitation [Birch 1971;Bourne 1981]. This way of thinking with respect to research on housing estate households is refl ected in the research by Myers [1990], who presented the fi ltering theory, According to which every housing estate struggles with the natural ageing of its housing stock, which involves not only the physical degradation of the materials, but also a turnover of residents in connection with an outfl ow of people who attain a higher social status into newly constructed houses and of poorer tenants either moving out and into older stock or staying in their deteriorating fl ats.…”

Large housing estates make up an essential portion of the housing stock in the urban structure of Polish cities. It was expected that large housing estates in Poland might experience social decline in the 1990s, but several research projects conducted in the estates did not identify any increase in social degradation. This article examines the social structure of the residents of large housing estates in Poland and identifi es the main trends in current social changes. The time frame of ongoing transformations in the social structure was set around the turn of the 21st century. This analysis is based on Polish 1988 and 2002 National Census data, the Polish PESEL population database (2011), and the author's survey data (2010)(2011)(2012). Research was conducted in seven housing estates in fi ve Polish cities or towns (Poznań, Kraków, Tarnów, Dzierżoniów, and Żyrardów) and focused on analysing the sizes and types of households and their economic situation and the social structure of the estates. Results showed that large housing estates continue to have a heterogeneous social structure and to resist social deprivation processes. Depending on the period when a particular estate was built it is possible to observe distinctive features of housing estates, such as social structure renewal in housing estates from the 1950s and 1960s, residential ageing in those from the 1970s, and the risk of an exodus of young residents from estates from the 1980s. Those shared problems may soon become decisive for the future development of large estates.

“…Despite the different approaches, all seem to reach the consensus that revitalizing neighborhoods go through stages of change. Hoover and Vernon (1959) and Birch (1971) But the literature posits that this trend is either slowing down or reversing itself. That is to say, high-status residents are, to a certain extent, opting to reside in the inner-city neighborhoods that are undergoing revitalization (Smith, 1979).…”
