Planning applications for temporary development in England's core cities 2000-15 (5,890 cases)

Planning applications data, derived from each core city local authority, provided a record of all applied for development activity over a prolonged period of time. In England, all local authorities have a legal duty to make available certain details relating to planning applications (as a public register) on the internet (PARSOL, 2006). A wide range of information and documentation are made available across a range of data fields. Eight data fields were extracted for our analysis, these included, ‘application number’, ‘status’, ‘application address’, ‘postcode’, ‘development description’, ‘date received’, ‘decision’ as well as ‘appeal decision’ (see PARSOL, 2006: 21). Habitually some data fields were empty requiring a more thorough analysis of the supplied documentation to obtain missing information. Similar to applications for traditional development, applications for almost all forms of temporary use are subject to an application for planning permission. Seven key terms/concepts associated with temporary urbanism were employed to search for and extract applications for temporary development within each core city, these included, ‘temporary’, ‘temporary use’, ‘period of’, ‘use of land’, ‘short term/short-term’, ‘interim’ and ‘meanwhile’. The systematic collection and collation of planning applications data resulted in an end dataset of 5,890 applications for temporary use across the eight core cities over the fifteen-year period of 2000-15. The 5,890 cases were then coded across a range of structural variables associated with the discourse on temporary use to amass city datasets capable of looking in depth at the characteristics of temporary development in the core cities

Spatial distribution of temporary development in Bristol and Liverpool, 2000-15 (1,261 cases)

Reviews addressing how temporary uses have been mobilised over time within specific conurbations or sets of conurbations have remained a rarity (bar extended research on Berlin). A number of studies have highlighted the limited use of spatial data to inform decision-making about contemporary urban issues. With temporary use increasingly visible as a regeneration technique in England, there is a need to study its related spatial properties, as with any other form of land-use. Maps, being graphic representations of various aspects of reality, are indispensable to the effort of understanding and visualising the existing as well as the future urban environment. The purpose of this dataset was to create a spatial account of temporary development in British cities. Two cities were selected for this analysis, Bristol and Liverpool

Temporary use morphologies in England's core cities 2000-20 (655 cases)

This dataset is used to add to our understanding of intra-city patterning of temporary development as a complement to intensive historical and narrative-based approaches to temporary use (Martin et al., 2020). As emphasised by Martin et al. (2020: 17) "further research is needed to identify locations where temporary uses are more or less likely to occur based on certain underlying characteristics". The novel data set of 422 temporary use interventions recorded between 2000-15 examines the morphology of temporary development in eight British cities: Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Liverpool, Newcastle, Nottingham, Manchester and Sheffield.

Post-conflict reconstruction in the Middle East and North Africa region: A bidirectional parametric urban design approach

Post-conflict reconstruction is a major topic in war-torn cities in the Middle East and North Africa region. Rather than being limited to re-establishing pre-conflict conditions, new formats of urban settings may be adopted, both for the design and quality of urban space, as well as for the design and building process. This article proposes a combined top-down and bottom-up design approach, supported by parametric urban design modelling. As sustainable (re-)development of the urban-scape requires coordination across different scales, a top-down approach is partly needed for reasons of coordination. As participatory design processes involving local stakeholders work from the partial to the whole, a bottom-up approach is partly needed for reasons of inclusion. By means of a parametric urban model combining both overview and detail, the two approaches can be combined. This article shows the theoretical framework and, by way of example, applies the model to Fallujah in Iraq as a case study

The Viking HRTF dataset v2

The Viking HRTF dataset v2 is a collection of head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) measured at the University of Iceland. It includes full-sphere HRTFs measured on a dense spatial grid (1513 positions) with a KEMAR mannequin with different pairs of artificial pinnae attached. The dataset, available in SOFA format, contains measurements for 20 different pairs of articial pinna replicas (subjects A to T, where T is a pair of standard large KEMAR anthropometric pinnae replicas) plus a pair of flat baffles simulating a "pinna-less" condition (subject Z). 3D scans of the 20 left pinna replicas are also available as STL files
