“…For example, audits to evaluate case studies that have already been implemented (Rodwell, 2018, p. 200). Difficulties in implementation remain the responsibility of administrative bodies and include the following issues: the difficulty of connecting local administrative frameworks with the HUL approach (Jokilehto, 2015;Santander and Garai-Olaun, 2016) as in the case of Canada, which is demanding the inclusion of aborigines in the Recommendation in order to define them as stakeholders (Jessiman, 2016); the difficulty of incorporating more disciplines in order to identify heritage assets in detail (Ginzarly et al, 2019a;Khalaf, 2018;Rodwell, 2018); the need for greater and real participation (Jokilehto, 2015); the need to create new tools which integrate conservation, management, development and planning disciplines (Ginzarly et al, 2019a, p. 14); and identifying the fact that the administrations have not changed their mentality regarding the HUL approach which is a key problem (Santander et al, 2018, p. 7).…”

PurposeThe main aim of this paper is to determine how well the UNESCO 2011 Recommendation on Historic Urban Landscape (hereafter, the HUL approach) is understood by the academic community today. It will review relevant research, highlight shortcomings regarding the HUL concept and approach and explore how well the six proposed steps are being considered when implementing the HUL approach.Design/methodology/approachThis paper presents and discusses the results of a systematic review of 140 peer-reviewed publications, published in international academic journals between 2008 and 2019 and available in databases such as WoS and Scopus, such as journal articles, book chapters and books. More specifically, this research takes the six-step process as its theoretical framework in order to understand if the six steps are being followed in the case studies where the HUL approach has been implemented. Following this, it assesses gaps in the HUL concept and approach. The paper explores the HUL implementation management process, investigating what is being done, how it is being done and who is involved.FindingsThe concept ‘Historic Urban Landscape’ has been used in research since 2008. However, the first case studies implementing the HUL approach were not published until 2013. While there is an abundance of theoretical research in relation to the HUL concept and approach from different perspectives and to varying degrees of depth, the case studies which practically demonstrate the HUL approach and its six steps are scarce. This paper will also show how feasible the steps are and which are used the most.Originality/valueThis research demonstrates if the HUL approach is being understood in the academic field and if the implementation of the six steps is being reflected in the literature. This approach will reveal how these steps are being implemented and if this is having an effect on the heritage planning process.

“…City context is important to evaluate because 60% of the global population by 2050 will live in cities (United Nations, Department of Economics and Social Affairs, Population Division, 2019); ten global cities are already generating a quarter of the global carbon emissions (Santander and Garai-Olaun, 2016; Moran, 2018); and cities are at increasing risk from hazards and threats (UNDRR, 2020). Given the long-term environmental consequences faced by humanity in the BE (For Cities by Cities, 2019), it is important to unify interpretations, goals and targets that are offered in sustainability and resilience discourses between policy, municipal planning and built environment professionals (Achour et al , 2015; Fainstein, 2018; Talen, Wheeler and Anselin, 2018).…”

“…GAR 2019 (UNDRR, 2019) outlines that conceptual fractures have been generated by nuances in how sustainability and resilience have been interpreted and that measurement can restrict better outcomes. As cities generate their own policies (Chicago Council on Global Affairs, 2018; U20, 2018; The City of New York, 2019b), it is critical to examine the shifts in sustainability and resilience and the impact of how they are currently used in decision-making as they provide targets for future development (Santander and Garai-Olaun, 2016; de Blasio, 2018b; Emanuel, 2019b; Walsh, 2019a; Marlow, 2020).…”

Purpose Conceptual interpretations of sustainability and resilience are widening with discursive use and altering the relationship and understanding of both concepts. By using three city case studies in the USA, this paper aims to consider which conceptual interpretations are operational and what is being measured in the context of city policy, municipal planning and built environment practice. With increasing pressures of urbanisation, it is imperative to consider which conceptual interpretations of resilience and sustainability are being measured in frameworks for the built environment if Risk-Informed Sustainable Development across multiple sectors is to be delivered. Design/methodology/approach Three case studies with semi-structured interviews have been thematically analysed to explore how sustainability and resilience have been operationalised at policy, planning and practice levels. Findings City policies, municipal planning and practitioners are working with different interpretations. Collectively Risk Informed Sustainable Development is not formally recognised. Policies recognise GHG reductions and natural hazard events; planning guidance stipulates Environmental Impact Assessments based on legal requirements; and practitioners consider passive-survivability and systematic thinking. Across the sectors, the Leadership in Environmental and Energy Assessment Method provides a common foundation but is used with varying requirements. Practical implications Decision-makers should incorporate risk-informed sustainable development, update codes of practice and legal requirements leading to exemplary practice becoming normalised. Social implications Passive-survivability should be affordable and adopt risk-informed sustainable development principles. Originality/value Three US city case studies with data collected from interviews have been analysed simultaneously at policy, planning and practice levels. Interrelated implications have been outlined on how to improve decision-making of sustainability and resilience across sectors.

Impact of Communication Quality in Facilitating Citizen Participation in Urban Planning

Urban planning procedures are difficult for individuals to understand due to their complexity, which stems from the large number of parties involved, the existence of legal and political processes, and the presence of bureaucracy. Despite towns' efforts to include more residents in shaping their communities, participation remains low, and citizens' involvement often occurs late in the design process, when changes are more difficult to implement. That is not because people are not interested; instead, it is because plans have not been conveyed well enough for people to understand the repercussions before it is too late to have an impact. Citizens' comprehension, involvement, and ownership of plan proposals may all benefit from more opportunities for public participation in the planning process. As an alternative to data based only on technical and statistical understanding, citizen engagement may augment analysis with useful information at a human level. In that regard, this study will investigate how towns might enhance communication quality by making information more readily available and presenting it in a style and tone that are more likely to encourage debate and collaboration among its constituents.
