Urban Morphology
A short viewpoint concerning the idea that large-scale master planning has given way to more granular urban design strategies: repair, reuse, reveal, regionalize and rupture,
"The urban sprawl phenomenon has been raise in the last three decades. At the same time all municipalities in Portugal have adopt the methodology of the master planning to program the transformation of land use. In consequence of this process the well-being in cities have decreased and the life quality of population is dreadful so is urgent the promotion of a new process to planning the transformation of existing urban areas and program new areas. The aim of this article is the proposal of a new process to be adopted to master planning. The operative process to territorial planning intends to promote the principles of sustainable development. This sustainable principles are the support the definition of objectives and strategies were carried out to the conception phase of the planning proposal by criteria based in the operability of the process. It is evident that the relevant factors in the new process include the promotion of the public participation from the beginning of the conception planning phase. With the new process is possible to understand that are a critical aspect related with the great amount of data to collect and this condition may show the risk of loss of same objectivity in case an efficient coordination of the process does not occur. The possibility for realize simulations that incorporate a wider range of scales and interdependencies from open spaces to buildings and to the level of the entire city is one advantage of the new process. The capacity to evaluate and predict the impacts of planning actions and the changes over time is a important output to the sustainable development. These process incorporate a long number of parameters and either focus on the environmental, social and economic performance of the urban areas, neglecting the interdependencies of work at the scale of a local, municipality zones or metropolitan region by using a grid with a scale compiling whole issues of a city. Only through a new urban planning process it is possible to walk in the path the Sustainable Development. The presented Sustainable Urban Planning Process given by its open and flexible structure the capacity to permits interventions on different realities and site dimensions allowing to analyze the characteristics of each case its potentialities and weaknesses and opportunities to guiding the project of urban planning. It is possible conclude that it is not through the widespread simplification of the planning process that it’s possible to reach urban sustainability but only through a complete survey of all the features and site characteristics as well as of an integrated analysis of all these factors supporting urban planning design. In this process the public involvement and responsibility are especially important because only this way it is possible to reach simultaneously the project’s efficiency and promoting the improvement of the population’s quality of life without compromising the future generations[9]. The new operative urban planning process are in fact the capacity to promotes sustainable development in any scale of intervention and are a efficient instrument to land use transformation. "

The Role of the Master Plan in City Development, Latakia Master Plan in an International ContextThe master plan has been a critical instrument for shaping the development of cities worldwide. This article delves into the impact of a well-designed master plan on shaping and transforming the structure of a city, while also exploring the various aspects that can be adapted in different contexts and conditions. The article aims to highlight how an effective master plan can drive development, guide urban growth, and offer a comprehensive framework for decision-making. Specifically, this study analyses the Latakia (SY) master plan, which was proposed in 2008, and compares it with the master plans of Barcelona (ES) and Montpellier (FR), two cities with significant experience in master planning. The analysis was conducted using several key criteria, such as general vision, housing policies, urban mobility, and green network. The results showed that urban development strategies in the Latakia master plan were of limited efficiency range compared to the other case studies, as it focused...
Master Planning and Regional Planning are planning approaches that goes pari-pasu. However, they do not mean the same thing in the planning parlance. The disparity between them notwithstanding, they overlap both in theory and in practice. Hence, the two concepts both faces and presents a dilemma if meanings. Master Planning concerns itself with the periodic organization of the structure and function of the urban environment within foreseeable future. Its role is to provide a pragmatic policy document whose aim is to solve a city's existing problems, as well as curtail possible future problems. In view of this, Amirtahmasebi et'al (2015) saw a master plan as a dynamic long-term planning policy document that provides a conceptual layout to guide future growth and development. In essence, master plan plays a significant role in shaping the growth, physical structure and function of the city along preconceived and predetermined lines. Philipsen (2019) defined master planning as the creation of a framework within which development parcels, massing, heights, as well as the relationship of buildings, circulation and streets are designed in enough detail to define predictable outcome; but with sufficient flexibility to allow various responses of actual developers and designers. In a nutshell, master plans are regulatory planning toolkits whose main focus is on spatial organization in terms of space standards, zoning and other forms of land use control. Master planning, therefore, adopts the comprehensive planning approach to create physical planning design, specifies standards in terms of minimum and maximum requirements for developments, zone land uses and adopt legal control measures to guide and ensure implementation. It has, however, been argued that the master planning approach cannot adequately address the problem of urbanisation and its social and physical characteristics (Oyesiku, 2004; Alabi, 2008; Jiriko, 2008). In fact, the literature suggests that the Urban Master Planning system, over the years, has proven to be both highly insufficient, inefficient and ineffective to guide physical development in). Urban Master Plans were prepared for cities such as Washington D.C and many others in USA; the idea was just imported to Nigeria and some other developing countries and used/adopted as planning strategy (Jiriko, 2008; Wapwera and Egbu, 2013) without taking into cognisance its suitability for our spatio-cultural landscape. Regional Planning, on the other hand, is basically concerned with the (re)distribution of (economic) resources within a geographic entity that is larger than a single urban setting.

Urban planning, globally and locally, has been dictated by the Master plans to make city growth and development more rational, orderly and logical. Studies made and analysis carried out, have shown that mechanism adopted for preparing master plans, based on pure land use planning, has made these plans both rigid and timeconsuming besides unsustainable. Master plans have been found to be largely ignoring the dynamism of urban growth and development besides promoting dualities and contradictions in an urban setting. By defining the land use of all parcels of land, cities have been virtually frozen. In the process, the majority of cities have been suffering from illegal, sub-standard, haphazard and unplanned growth. Master plans have accordingly, emerged as the major roadblock in promoting planned urban development and making cities sustainable.In search for appropriate solutions for promoting planned development and making city growth both rational and dynamic, paper focus on redefini...

Widen the Scale of Urban Design to the Level of City Planning: Argument Beyond a Case of Two Cities2017 •
The current paper traces two characteristics streak. The first is providing a mutating role for urban design as an academic discipline launched for a better life of the second streak. The latter is the world which has urban problems in different places. Some cities are suffering from the overcrowding and overloading population with various types of activities. Notwithstanding having such variety, some cities could have a feature of hardship in the way of citizen’s living. The cities of hardship are in the known and unknown places. Despite the fact that urban design has repeated presence in schools of Architecture and professional practice, it is still an enigmatic term, used separately by different groups in different situations to provide a world's better life. Besides the increasing attention to the subject and the rising number of academics and their praxis that are engaged in urban design have caused a pressing need for a clearer scope of work as well as defining the limitation between the large and small scales projects it exposed. Can urban design (UD) extend to have the regional level in its agenda and work on design level? Can UD be a mongrel paradigm for different disciplines?

From the 1960s through the 1980s, planners, architects, designers, and academics assembled ideas for new developments in response to the suburbanization, increase in private automobile use, and lack of diversity in communities in the decades following World War II. The resulting philosophy, New Urbanism, became the most influential urban design movement to emerge from the latter part of the twentieth century. The purpose of this research is to describe the use of the principles of New Urbanism in the comprehensive plans of large Texas cities. This study analyzes the content of the comprehensive plans of large Texas cities to describe the extent to which New Urbanism has shaped city planning. The research found that New Urbanism significantly influences the planning of large Texas cities. Half of the plans (six) studied contain all of the principles of New Urbanism, showing the profound impact made by New Urbanism on the cities’ planning doctrine. Only oneLfourth (three) of the plans studied contain less than half of the principles of New Urbanism. Since all three of these plans were adopted prior to the rise of New Urbanism, the prevalence of New Urbanism in the other plans studied suggests that these plans will add principles of New Urbanism in future updates.
