Surviving urban renewal program: Case study of a traditional urban village in Kuala Lumpur

The study undertakes an analysis of the development trajectory and outcomes of a 110 years Malay village located within Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia called Kampung Baru. More specifically the study seeks to account for the development paths of this village brought about by urbanization and planning. The village is characterized by relative tranquility and neat layout of traditional Malay houses, has relatively been retarded in its development with poor roads and sanitation even though the rest of metropolitan of Kuala Lumpur is enjoying a boom in economic growth and prosperity. The methodology that has been employed for this study relied on empirical field work that utilized both participant observation and a questionnaire survey. The research found political, historical and institutional factors has delayed planning and renewal of the (35,000 people and 153.35 km2) area. The consequence of the delay has been detrimental to landowners but advantages to non-owners and migrants who have been taking advantage of the area cheap rent and strategic location. The situation will soon change, however, for the city authority can no longer tolerate increasing criticism of the area disgracing image in the midst booming Kuala Lumpur city. Renewal is therefore certain but the fate of the village traditional image is uncertain

Building a sense of community

Abstract: Kelvin Grove Urban Village (KGUV) is an innovative flagship project for its stakeholders, the Department of Housing and Queensland University of Technology. Their combined vision and philosophical approach has fostered innovative research in economic, environmental and, in the case of this paper, social sustainability. As urban planners grapple with effective methods to stimulate social sustainability in the 'art of city making' through urban renewal or development projects, more are recognising that history and creativity can make great partners (Landry, 2007)

“KAMPUNG VERTICAL” DESIGN IN URBAN VILLAGE AS URBAN RENEWAL STRATEGY (CASE STUDY: GANDEKAN VILLAGE, SEMARANG)

Urbanization or the movement of people from villages to cities has caused many problems, both socio-economic, environment, and illegal housing which is carelessly constructed due to the increasing need for housing. To overcome this situation, urban renewal can be an effective solution. This urban renewal focuses on the presence of vertical housing as a realignment of the residential housing design for community. It focuses on the presence of a space that protects the environment, the health of residents, and accommodatesthe activities of its community.  Vertical villages are familiarin Indonesia, especially in urban village areas that were shabby.   Therefore, this research purposed for the designing of a vertical village in Gandekan Village area of Semarang. Due to the growth of the population and the increasingly advanced of Semarang City, many villagers moved in to obtain a more decent job, but problems were also arising in this phenomenon

Crises of capitalism and deficits of democracy: lessons from Vancouver’s Olympic Village development

AbstractMega-events like the Olympic Games remain widely recognized as key opportunities for cities to accelerate large-scale urban development projects through the construction of extensive Olympic Villages complexes. However, in the current global financial climate, these debt-financed urban renewal strategies are fraught with risk for both public and private partners. In the first part of this paper, I explore how the city of Vancouver, British Columbia, inherited the entire responsibility for the construction of the 2010 Winter Olympic Village following the 2008 global economic crisis and a number of undisclosed local political commitments. In what follows, I raise some political questions about the democratic limitations of the entrepreneurial urban policy - making context and the disproportionate transfer of financial risk associated with these developments to the public sector. Finally, I draw parallels between the experiences of Vancouver and the recent government bailout of the Olympic Village development in East London

Making rural micro-regeneration strategies based on resident perceptions and preferences for traditional village conservation and development:The case of Huangshan village, China

Micro-regeneration is a gradual renewal strategy that uses small-scale interventions to improve the quality of the living environment and local community, as well as spur industrial development. It is the small-scale interventions that have continued to make micro-regeneration a viable economic rural renewal approach for traditional village conservation and development. As such, in this work we explore potential micro-regeneration strategies and promotions based on assessments of public perception and preferences in an “unlisted” traditional village in China (i.e., an area with limited investment for conservation compared to “listed”, renowned traditional villages). We aim to identify the most perceptible modes of village transformation and industrial development for rural micro-regeneration strategies in the Huangshan traditional village of China. We also tested how the social character of respondents significantly affected their preferences in this regard. The public participatory mapping results illustrated a spatially clustered pattern made up of small spaces and individual buildings demanding micro-regeneration interventions. The survey based on 150 residents living around these sites disclosed that a unified repair approach subsidized by government and traffic condition improvements are the most recognized modes of village transformation, and the tourism is the most perceived and preferred method for industrial development. Significant differences between public perceptions and preferences of both village transformation and industrial development were identified corresponding to gender and income demographics, while village transformation perceptions change is dependent on age. Therefore, our study demonstrates evidence-based recommendations for active and effective rural micro-regeneration practices
