“…The multilayered nature of urban planning directly connects to the notion of the multilayered city. Colavitti (2018) defines the multilayered city as urban space that "contains the territory and landscape (as well as) complex objects that register an often almost unknown variety of situations and variables"(p. 36). The concept of the multilayered city, first coined in 1950 by Braudel, relies on "the knowledge of the morphology of the places, the understanding of the historical process of their building, the acknowledgment of their roles" (Colavitti, 2018, p. 131).…”

“…Multilayered urban planning can use the "archaeological knowledge and topographic method to interpret the marks of the urban transformation through the reading and the knowledge of city's form and historic human presence" (Colavitti, 2018, p. 35). Colavetti (2018 suggests that "urban planning should use archaeological knowledge and topographic method[s] to interpret the marks of the urban transformation through the reading and the knowledge of city's form and historic human presence"(p. 35).…”

“…Overall, the literature review demonstrates that the theory and practice of urban planning, urbanism, and heritage are largely intertwined. Colavitti (2018) notes, in "urban planning's culture…the importance of historical-cultural heritage is no longer identifiable with the big monuments and cities only, but must be extended to the historical and landscape fabric of the whole territory"(p. 78). Further urban planning: must be predictive, and predicting the future impacts of planning interventions requires (a) theoretical understanding of the processes that shape the making of spaces and places.…”

<div>This Major Research Paper (MRP) examines the disproportionate designation of Heritage Conservation Districts (HCDs) within the City of Toronto, which are predominantly located in the City's downtown core, compared to the City's inner suburban areas. To illustrate the discrepancies in HCD designation, two potential HCDs in Scarborough, one of three inner suburbs in Toronto, are chronologically examined. Both Agincourt and Midland Park’s HCD represent the most recent examples of heritage designation in the inner suburb, which stands as the only area in the City that has zero HCDs. Before the case studies are discussed, the effects of Toronto's 1998 amalgamation, select timeframes of the City's planning history and recent changes to Provincial planning legislation that govern municipalities' heritage approach are examined. It is determined that a series of factors contribute to the disproportionate designation of HCDs in the City of Toronto. These factors include the incremental designation of heritage properties post amalgamation, the lengthy heritage designation process, the intergovernmental nature of municipal heritage policies, the lack of public education on the benefits of heritage and a complex HCD prioritization process all contribute to the disproportionate designation of HCD’s in the City of Toronto. Four key recommendations are offered to help resolve the heritage designation issue in the City of Toronto.</div><div><br></div><div>Keywords: Heritage Conservation Districts; Toronto; Urban Planning, Urban Policy, Heritage Urbanism.</div>

“…Following the terms of the ELC, it identifies the landscape as "the territory expressing identity, whose character derives from the action of natural and human factors and their interrelationships" (article n. 131), linked to the history and expression of the culture of the communities. In the international context, the concept of landscape is strongly integrated with the environmental component, while in Italy the framework of laws and regulations emphasizes the cultural dimension [10,11]. The Italian territory is characterized by a long history that has resulted in a continuous stratification of alterations and human interventions on the environment, thus giving a strong cultural character to the landscape, in which also the natural components of high ecological value are the outcome of the anthropization process [12].…”

Mind the Gap: Why the Landscape Planning System in Sardinia Does Not Work

2021

In Italy, after the introduction of the Code of Cultural Heritage and Landscape in 2004, the Regional Landscape Plan (RLP) has acquired a coordination role in the urban planning system, for the implementation of policies for landscape protection and valorisation. The case study of the RLP of Sardinia is a paradigmatic application to the coastal area of the island, which is considered most vulnerable and subject to settlement pressure. The objectives of preservation and valorisation of the territorial resources should be transferred into local planning instruments by adopting strategies aimed at the preservation of the consolidated urban fabric, at the requalification and completion of the existing built-up areas according to the principles of land take limitation and increase in urban quality. The paper investigates the state of implementation and the level of integration of landscape contents in the local plans that have been adapted to the RLP, using a qualitative comparative method. In addition, the results of the plan coherence checks, elaborated by the regional monitoring bodies after the adaptation process, have been analysed to identify the common criticalities and weaknesses. The results highlight the lack of effectiveness of the RLP, after more than a decade since its approval, considering the limited number of adequate local plans and the poor quality of their analytical and regulative contents in terms of landscape protection and valorisation. Conclusions suggest some possible ways to revise the RLP, focusing on the participation of local communities and the development of a new landscape culture.

Abstract. This paper, through study case of Montenegro, deals with significance of sophisticated management in process of activation of old urban units and some architectural facilities for tourist purposes. Starting fact is that one of the most important segments of tourist offer is immobile cultural heritage, having the value manifested in few segments, emphasizing two most famous. The first one represents urban agglomerations, successfully transposed into tourist offer, while the other segment is vencular residential architecture of indeginous type, which can also contribute to tourist offer with appealing its contents. This work also gives the example of target potentials. Examples mentioned in this work proved as successful and profitable (in economic way). Also, some of examples in the work are opportunities missed because of serious devastation of architectural and urban designing heritage, as well as real chances certain localities have. Specific case analysis proved that management is not present enough and not educated enough -it is far below disposable potentials Montenegro possesses. This work also points, through implemented researches, the degree of personnel, who are in charge for promoting values of traditional architecture for tourist purposes. However, logical conclusion can be drawn that the conscience about quality of old urban entities and vernacular heritage is not developed enough. That initiates requirement for educating managers and forming of multidisciplinar teams so the knowledge could be used for proper valorization of potentials. Significance of proper and qualified personnel is specially emphasized when this topic is studied, because investors are not educated enough on this issue, so disposable means are used for some other things marked and recognised as proper and profitable investments.
