In urban planning, governments usually hold the decision-making power to shape not only city landscapes but also people's lives with the promoted goals of social welfare. Although states expect their own version of ideal scenarios in mind when carrying out infrastructural developments, after competition, people in reality have their own ways of perceiving and utilizing state-made infrastructures and urban transportation, sometimes in alignment with government plan, and sometimes at odds with it. Abu Dhabi is one of the cities in the world in which the government planned out the whole city and created urban infrastructure from scratch, including the city bus system. Although the Abu Dhabi public buses started operating in 2008, car dependency is still high and many residents consider public buses to be inefficient and time consuming and only used by certain immigrant working population.

Several innovative transportation concepts were critical components of the early twentieth-century City Beautiful reconfiguration of built environments: orderly public places, suitable for important civic buildings; clear hierarchies of streets, avenues, and boulevards, organized in rational patterns with orchestrated vistas; and new terminals that housed improved intercity rail facilities and enhanced intracity travel through improved multimodal surface transportation connections. The City Beautiful aesthetic approach to conceiving urban circulation networks was an important and often overlooked contribution to transportation planning, and improving urban transportation was an important goal for City Beautiful reformers. A review of historical planning documents and project descriptions suggests that civic leaders’ approaches to improving urban circulation during the City Beautiful era are enduring contributions of the movement’s integrated approach to land use and transportation planning and its desire to transform cities into more beautiful places.

The Local Government Reform in Northern Ireland in 2015 returned decision-making powers on territorial development to the local level. Sabine Kalke, who worked in the department before and after the reform, spoke in her interview about the changes they faced and what additional powers were transferred to local government. The changes mostly affected interactions with stakeholders and the actual development strategy of Belfast. Today, the city determines the priorities and development goals at the local level, and negotiations with major developers are based on these goals. As a result, the interaction has become more meaningful and mutually beneficial. The reform provides the City Council with a certain flexibility in decision-making: its position remains strong, but with the ability to adjust the plans. After all, the urban development process benefits both the private and the public sector. In this sense, the readiness of each of the parties to an open dialogue becomes key. The experience of Belfast is becoming particularly important regarding changes in the Russian local government system, which has lost much authority in recent years.

Abstract While the Victorian ideal of the public park is well understood, we know less of how local governors sought to realize this ideal in practice. This article is concerned with park-making as a process – contingent, unstable, open – rather than with parks as outcomes – determined, settled, closed. It details how local governors bounded, designed and regulated park spaces to differentiate them as ‘spaces apart’ within the city, and how this programme of spatial governance was obstructed, frustrated and diverted by political, environmental and social forces. The article also uses this historical analysis to provide a new perspective on the future prospects of urban parks today.

Summary How do you find the sources to write the history of the health of a city, particularly for the late twentieth century and into the digital age? This article explores this challenge in the case of the city of Bristol in the United Kingdom during the period from the creation of the National Health Service (NHS) in 1948, through the transfer of the public health function from local government to the NHS in 1974 and up until the return of public health back to local government in 2013. The aims of the article are to scope the extant paper and digital official and academic documentary sources for the history of public health in the city, to critically assess the availability and completeness of the sources and to reflect on the challenges and opportunities of integrating earlier paper records with more recent digital ones.
