Pozycja From formality to informality: “Sharing Planners’ as a design method in urban development of Tilanqiao Lilong residential area(Lodz University of Technology Press, 2023) Wu Yilong; Liu YuqiuIn the aspect of urbanization, megacities in ‘Third World’ are growing rapidly and constantly searching for ways for development, leading to the current situation of numerous informalized areas in these cities. Learning from the informality development is more viable than the previous dichotomy between First World ‘models’ and Third World ‘problems’ for urban research, since the future of cities lies in those of developing countries. The paper focuses on the informality development in the city center of Shanghai, taking the Lilong residence in Tilanqiao area as an example. One hundred years ago, a formal collection of commercial houses called Lilong was established in Tilanqiao due to the dramatic increase in population in Shanghai. During World War II, a large number of Jewish refugees settled here, creating a culturally mixed community and replacing the uniform architectural style. In the present day, the area has become an informal part of the city center due to lagging infrastructure. On the basis of the participatory and action research methods, the paper concludes a new ‘Sharing Planners’ vision for the informality area from three individual aspects of citizens’ basic needs, commercial vitality and de-gentrification. By focusing on individuals, institutions and policies, experiences and lessons learnt from the development of informality in Shanghai, the former dichotomy statement of distinguish ‘informality’ from ‘formality’ is gradually replaced by a collaborative planning notion: The paper concludes informality, instead of unplanned chaos or exception of best practice but as an essential pattern of considerable relevance for the urban planners in China, thus providing reference for similar cases. This paper is subsidized by NSFC project which is named as , NO.51978468.Pozycja Retain or Rebuild: Different Pathways of Redevelopment in Urbanising Chinese Villages(Lodz University of Technology Press, 2023) Utzig Lukas; Vaughan Laura; Misselwitz PhilippWhile the ongoing rapid urbanisation in China transforms farmland into urban areas, old villages receive a certain level of protection from being completely rebuilt. This is due to the grassroots ownership of rural land, which is held by village collectives. The village becomes surrounded by the city, called chengzhongcun. During this intense transformation from an agricultural to a landless way of life, the village collectives redevelop their dense settlement in very different ways to create resilience and benefit from the opportunities that urbanisation brings. This research is examining four old villages in the Huangyan-Taizhou region during their redevelopment. It will be analysed how different stakeholder decisions create variations in their urban form and how this influences their economic resilience. Employing methods from the space syntax framework coupled with land use mapping and interviews, this research builds on Hillier’s concept of the movement economy. Hillier finds that urban form generates movement, which then becomes the precursor for street-based economic activities such as retail and services. This relates to Vaughan’s and Hall’s work on ethnic marketplaces which identifies informal economic networks as key social safety nets of low-income and migrant neighbourhoods. The findings suggest that villages that have seen bottom-up incremental changes and retained their organic street network generate higher movement than rebuilt villages and thus are able to shift their economies towards the service sector. Their building stock is also more adaptable to ground-floor subdivisions and retail use, while redeveloped villages often have set-back buildings with residential ground floors that cannot facilitate informal use or retail space. Since the former farmland surrounding the villages is developed into industrial land, the villages are the only possible site for restaurants, shops and other amenities, creating many opportunities for villagers. They can be however only realised with specific pathways of redevelopment.Pozycja Reality vs Regulation: Informal Practices of Spatial Development in Krasnodar, Russia(Lodz University of Technology Press, 2023) Karaselnikova Maria; Maltseva Daria; Iskusov Nikita; Fadeeva Ekaterina; Mardanov Linar; Pisareva Maria; Kharitonov Mikhail; Elkina ElizavetaIn the research environment, informal urban development has traditionally been studied in the cities of the Global South. However, in the Eastern European context informal urban development differs as land use regulation goes through the process of post-socialist transformation. Krasnodar is one of the biggest and fastest growing cities in Russia where informal construction practices and bottom-up approaches in spatial redevelopment are widely spread despite the strict regulation of housing construction and precise tools for identification of informality. Present work is a step towards the discovery of this phenomenon. In the spotlight we put the exploration of inner synergetic inconsistency of legal relations, connecting economic, institutional, demographic, and sociopolitical context to understand the contradiction between formal and informal urban life. The research methods include spatial and regulatory documents analyses, in-depth interviews with different collective actors (city administration, activists, experts in urban development, locals living in informal). The core of the research relates to the machinery of the conflict behind the legalization process. Findings of this work illustrate a number of reasons behind the spread of informal settlements in Krasnodar and their role in urban development. While administrative power does not seek compromise with locals and migrants, the mistrust of others embodies itself as unguided and spontaneous urban development.
