This project will develop a joint networking and advanced research programme on critical issues of planning, management and urban heritage that will strengthen research partnerships between European and Chinese partners. This aim will be achieved by short and longer-term periods of staff exchanges and networking activities between the participants, each a prestigious research institution. In total 79 researchers will undertake 215 months of exchange. The ultimate goal of this project is to achieve more rapid progress in advancing current knowledge, both conceptually and in terms of practical strategies of management, of the challenges of managing heritage as part of a wider process of spatial planning in the very different contexts provided by Europe and China. Its focus is the role of heritage in continuity and change in the city and region. Urban areas are the critical sphere of investigation as it is cities and urban regions that are subject to the greatest pressures for change and transformation and conflict and potential complementarity with heritage protection most acute. Europe and China are, broadly speaking, polar examples of the rate of urban change. In Europe the pace of urban change, in part due to heritage designation, is often very slow and we maybe building up a “heritage time-bomb”. In China, by contrast, urban change is an astonishingly rapid process, with the risk of heritage erasure. Each of the participating organisations has expertise in these areas and each is a geographical location that presents rich empirical case studies to explore.

Plan modifications within the contexts of planning control mechanisms Mersin case Ünlü, Tolga; Altaban, Özcan; Department of City and Regional Planning (2005) Urban development plans in the Turkish planning system envision that a time would come and the spatial development of any city would be completed in the specific planning period. The allegation of the planning system is to control every detail during urban development. However, the static nature of development plans within the regulatory context cannot provide strategies to manage the dynamic nature of the socio-political context. This contradictory situation involves tensions in planning control mechanisms...

The use of action research in planning integrates research, theory, and action. It helps manage the change through action in the process of participation, while enhancing democr...

Sustainability of urban regeneration in Turkey: Assessing the performance of the North Ankara Urban Regeneration Project Korkmaz, Cansu; Balaban, Osman (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01) The increasing environmental footprints of cities necessitated the integration sustainability principles into urban planning and development frameworks.

The concept aims to develop urban regeneration projects in line with the three key pillars of sus...
