Comprehensive understanding of the merits of bottom-up urban development is lacking, thus hampering and complicating associated collaborative processes. Therefore, and given the assumed relevancies, we mapped the social, environmental and economic values generated by bottom-up developments in two Dutch urban areas, using theory-based evaluation principles. These evaluations raised insights into the values, beneficiaries and path dependencies between successive values, confirming the assumed effect of placemaking accelerating further spatial developments. It also revealed broader impacts of bottom-up endeavors, such as influences on local policies and innovations in urban development.

Social media have become important platforms for residents to engage with their neighborhood. This paper investigates two Facebook communities that focus in distinctly different ways on Amsterdam-Noord, a gentrifying neighborhood in Amsterdam. Dialogue on both Facebook communities is found to be thoroughly affective, but the kinds of emotions and the way such emotions are generated and shared differ. Through this analysis, this paper seeks to understand how “affective publics” emerge through a specific form of collaborative storytelling, characterized by tone, form as well as rhythm of online interaction. We show how the channeling of affective expression and attunement helps to build two dissimilar collaborative discourses of the neighborhood transformation. We propose the term online affective placemaking to study and articulate such processes. The term points to mediated feelings and urgency to engage, which bonds participants and impacts the social and political landscape within the neighborhood.

In deze tekst wordt de TWEXX methode, ontwikkelt in de Enschedese wijk Twekkelerveld, geordend, beschreven, geanalyseerd en kritisch doorgelicht. De ondertitel ontwikkelingsgericht participatiemodel is niet voor niets gekozen. Het gaat in deze methode om participatie en ontwikkeling van mensen, sociale netwerken, organisaties en plannen en strategieen. En dat is geen geringe opgave. Het raamwerk van het model bestaat uit vijf samenhangende onderdelen. De Twexx methode is de invulling daarvan toegepast in Enschede. Het model is in principe overal toepasbaar wanneer de principes worden omgezet in maatwerk, gerelateerd aan de lokale context, de mogelijkheden en de ambities. Deze tekst is bedoeld om inzicht te verschaffen in de zoektocht naar een methodische aanpak van bewonersparticipatie binnen de dynamische wereld van het wijkgerichte werken. En vooral hoe, waar en op welke wijze bottom-up en top-down elkaar kunnen versterken.

China’s pre-pandemic national-level planning advocated a combination of culture and tourism toadvance growth in the Greater Bay Area (GBA) mega-region. Culture is seen as increasing regionalcohesion, with multi-destination travel products connecting subregions and cities. This paperexamines perceptions of progress towards a coherent GBA cultural identity and its implicationsfor tourism. We examine tourism stakeholder perceptions of the GBA, assess the prospects forthe development of collective identities in the region and assess the prospects forimplementation of the GBA brand. Surveys and interviews with stakeholders indicate that theprevalent top-down planning approach has so far generated limited regional coherence andmay also be limiting bottom-up placemaking initiatives. Debordering between Hong Kong,Macao and the mainland cities offers opportunities for tourism development, but these have sofar been limited, also because of intensifying competition between mainland GBA cities ininternational markets, challenging the implementation of an umbrella brand. Regionalstakeholders so far show little buy-in to the overarching‘quality living circle’concept for theGBA. New governance structures may be to support the development of a coherent regionalidentity and generate place leadership to successfully combine top-down and bottom-upplacemaking initiatives

Dit boekje gaat over het lectoraat Groene Leefomgeving van Steden aan Hogeschool VHL van lector Wim Timmermans. In hoofdstuk 2 wordt een korte, chronologische geschiedenis verteld van het lectoraat, van de eerste kennismakingsgesprekken en experimenten met studentencharettes, via de formulering van de eerste werkfilosofie naar een steeds strakker in elkaar stekend programma om praktijkgericht onderwijs en onderzoek te verenigen. In hoofdstuk 3 wordt via vijf thematische stapstenen als het ware door die geschiedenis heen en weer gehinkeld. Uit het project Jonge Friezen Foarút bleek hoe studenten ingezet kunnen worden als interventiemacht. In Amersfoort leidde praktijkgericht onderzoek ertoe dat de major Management Buitenruimte een andere invulling kreeg. In het Europese project VALUE-Added werden studentencharettes gebruikt voor evaluatie van studentencharettes. Experimentele projecten uit het Kennisverspreiding en Innovatie Groen Onderwijs (KIGO) project rondom eco-engineering zorgden ervoor dat docenten en studenten samen met kunstenaars en technici voorbij de grenzen van hun vakmatige disciplines werkten. Als afsluiting van het boek wordt ingegaan op de managementstijl van Timmermans, die het best omschreven kan worden als quiet leadership.

This paper seeks to highlight underlying issues of the tourism system that have led to tourism extremes of too much or too little tourism. Five phases are recognized that reflect different ways of dealing with too much tourism over time, after which the impact of a sudden lack of tourism is investigated in light of future renewal processes. This discussion highlights the remarkable capacity of the tourism industry to adjust to rapidly changing circumstances and crises, even when these cause anguish to individuals and within societies at large. The paper thus seeks to contextualize the current discussions regarding the transformation of tourism post COVID-19. It highlights the complexity of changing a tourism that multiple stakeholders depend on or have grown accustomed to. To come to a more balanced tourism, it is necessary to not only come up with alternative visions and strategies, but also to engage with the political economy nature of tourism development. A future research agenda should therefore also discuss facets of entangled power, social exclusion, inequalities and class differences to come to new reference points of what actually constitutes a more inclusive tourism success.

This paper presents four Destination Stewardship scenarios based on different levels of engagement from the public and private sector. The scenarios serve to support destination stakeholders in assessing their current context and the pathway towards greater stewardship. A Destination Stewardship Governance Diagnostic framework is built on the scenarios to support its stakeholders in considering how to move along that pathway, identifying the key aspects of governance that are either facilitating or frustrating a destination stewardship approach, and the required actions and resources to achieve an improved scenario. Moreover, the scenarios and diagnostic framework support stakeholders to come together to debate and scrutinise how tourism is managed in a way that meets the needs of the destination, casting new light on the barriers and opportunities for greater destination stewardship.

In a matter of weeks last year, discussions regarding tourism in cities changed from how to deal with overtourism to how to deal with ‘no tourism’. Shortly thereafter, a great number of posts on LinkedIn, websites, and blogs highlighted how the tourism crisis that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic could help reinvent tourism, into something more equal, inclusive, and sustainable. And so, online – at leastin mypersonalonlinebubble – there seemedtobe a real momentum for proper, transformative changes in (urban) tourism. How can we rebuild urban tourism in a sustainable and resilient way?

Dit verkennend onderzoek, dat in opdracht van de provincie Utrecht werd uitgevoerd, richt zich op de pilot-residentie Ways to listen to a river van componist Nahuel Cano. Deze residentie werd geproduceerd door Residenties in Utrecht in opdracht van de Provincie Utrecht. Het doel van het verkennend onderzoek was het bevorderen van kennisontwikkeling rondom de waarde en impact van de pilot-residentie. Daarbij werden tijdens het onderzoek de principes van Arts Based Research (ABR) als theoretische lens ingezet. De deelnemers (beleidsmedewerkers en kunstenaars) van het onderzoek geven aan de principes van ABR in hun eigen werkwijze en/of in voor hen bekende artistieke praktijken te herkennen. In de beleidsontwikkeling rondom dergelijke artistieke trajecten lijkt een meer procesmatige, ‘bottom-up' benadering van belang. Daarbij kan het mogelijk helpen om per artistiek traject niet ouput-gestuurde, maar eerder proces-gestuurde afspraken te formuleren. Deze procesafspraken dienen vooraf en tijdens een traject, onder andere met behulp van aandachtspunten van ABR, gezamenlijk met de betrokkenen (bijvoorbeeld de kunstenaar(s), beleidsmedewerker(s), producent(en) en deelnemers) van een artistiek traject te worden geformuleerd.
