1 Magnetic River Edge 2019, Special project. Planning and design
Module Co-ordinator: Dr Jan Woudstra, Dr Eckart Lange e.lange@sheffield.ac.uk, j.woudstra@sheffield.ac.uk This Project in this category will involve both strategic planning and masterplanning components. They are likely to address issues of sustainable development in an urban, or peri-urban/rural setting, including, for example, the establishment of multi-functional green infrastructure, regeneration and new development. Projects may focus on specific problems facing urban areas, such as dealing with the impacts of climate change, reducing the urban ecological footprint, social exclusion or conserving and enhancing local identity. Projects in this strand are likely to deal with smaller areas than projects in the planning/planning category. Stage 1 of planning/design projects might be carried out at scales up to 1: 10,000 scale and cover a substantial urban/peri-urban or rural landscape e.g. a river valley or a specific large site e.g. brownfield. This would be a strategic phase in which approaches/proposals are articulated by means of written aims, objectives and policies, illustrated in an appropriate visual format. Stage 2 is focussing on the development of a strategic/physical masterplan for all or part of the site. This is likely to include physical masterplanning of site proposals initially at a scale of 1: 2,000 but continuing to a higher level of resolution at scales of 1:1,000 or 1:500.
Magnetic River Edge Dazhou is a city traversed by Zhou River, which is branch of Yangtze River. The Zhou River has significant meaning for citizens, we live with it, we use the space of it. But due to the city development, people were inseparable from it. In the developing period, the flood continued to invade the city, but the problem was temporarily solved under a series of government engineering management measures. Since then, the Zhou River has become a separated body in Dazhou, it losts own ecosystem and people cannot touch and embrace it again. Meanwhile the city suffers urban expansion pressure, city is lacking of space for people to enjoy. The purpose of this project is try to plan and design the River space, to create a new character and functional space for local residents, establish a vibrant sosial space along river to encourage people to come. Promote this river to be a more healthy and active space and become a new city symbology

Project Introduction Dazhou is a city traversed by Zhou River, which is branch of Yangtze River. The Zhou River has significant meaning for citizens, we live with it, we use the space of it. But due to the city development, people were inseparable from it. In the developing period, the flood continued to invade the city, but the problem was temporarily solved under a series of government engineering management measures. Since then, the Zhou River has become a separated body in Dazhou, it losts own ecosystem and people cannot touch and embrace it again. Meanwhile the city suffers urban expansion pressure, city is lacking of space for people to enjoy. The purpose of this project is try to plan and design the River space, to create a new character and functional space for local residents, establish a vibrant sosial space along river to encourage people to come. Promote this river to be a more healthy and active space and become a new city symbology.

Dazhou dominated by argriculture feature, Zhou River still retain a clean feature, People drink it directly, the problem of river flooding is not particularly serious.
Dazhou was a cultural and historical area, with obvious river banks and good water quality. People use boats as the main way to cross the river, meanwhile, transportation and economy were in the initial stage of urban development, many factories were establised during this period.
Urban development gradually increased, the urban transport system was initially established, the utilization rate of river transportation decreased, the water environment began to be contaminaed, and the urban riverside ecosystem was damaged.
The government begans to establish riverbank flood control engineering, and build a series of sewage prevention centres. After all measures were taken, Zhou river lost its original feature and isolated from the city. Meanwhile, government demolished many factories and industries, City government starts restoring riparian ecology and improving water quality, and reforming ecological features along the river.

Proposal
Reduce urban pressure
Stisify people needs AND Establish magetic attraction
1Reduce centre commercial pressure and establish new connections
2Extend potential river space and establish new public space
3Proposed new main road and establish new access to reduce urban pressure
Use existing river situation to extend more river space to reduce the river spatial pressure, and satisfy local residential needs such as daily activities. To ensure a range of time activities for local people. Identify core social area, establish a 5mins walk buffer zone with public park on the edge to satisfy social rest, meanwhile the social points and public spaces will be stick with river space to form a magnetic attraction.
Establishe more commecial centre along the riverside to reduce commercial population pressure and provide more opportunities with river space. Distributed new commecial points could reduce urban transportation pressure and bring people directly to riverspace.
Strenth the transportation juction, establish magnetic attraction between each other. Reinface new secdondary road in urban area, promote a none-barrier access to the river space. Meanwhile, establish a new main road along the river to reduce urban transportation pressure and give more strong accessbility and indetity of river space. City road will be expanded, give space for free cycling and walk access to the river space, establish a slow transportation system to the river. City Bycle path and walk access

2 Inclusive Urbanism 2019, Urban Landscape Planning, The 5th Ecology
Module Co-ordinator: Dr. David Buck, david. buck@sheffield.ac.uk This project aims to give students experience of urban landscape planning at different scales,ranging from strategic planning to physical master planning. These are focused through the study of other ecologies including Rayner Banham’s 4th Ecology and enable you to draw upon a range of theoretical texts and in combination with creative propositions, create a proposal for a new ecology for urban landscape space. Studentsareinvited to workinthechallengingphysicalcontextof Parkwood Springs, which has been selected for its history of social, material and environmental change. You are encouraged to develop a strong theoretical and conceptualbasisforyour approach,based on key texts introduced during the module.
Inclusive urbanism
Is a model we are proposing to establish an environment where ‘urban animals’ and other species can co-exist together. It is also a place for all communities and groups to meet, interact and have equal opportunity to share the common ground thas is Parkwood Springs.
--> Ecological urbanism
Is an integral part that has guided our proposal in order to achieve self-repairing ecosystem that though its dynamic processes will challenge the issue of ecological and social division.
--> 5th ecology
Is the methodology that has driven our project. Our interpretation of 5th ecology is based on the assumption that humans (urban animals) should not be excluded from the natural world in urban planning. Therefore our strategy is to accommodate the needs of our species by creating a desirable habitat within the urban jungle.
Pre-phase Analysis
Strategy process
In the past, the landfill site in the middle of Parkwood Springs was actively in use, which has acted as a border and divided the community into two, with the west being less deprived when compared to the east.
Social division between East & West.
To address the issue of inequality within Parkwood Springs, we have proposed habitats to meet the common needs of ‘urban animals’ as shown on the above.
Turning Parkwood Springs into a common ground that foster interaction between people from all backgrounds.
The existing habitats are fragmented and lack of diversity, which gives the opportunity to improve the connection between existing habitats to create a linked green corridor for flora and fauna to thrive.
Developed into a strongly connected community beyond Parkwood Springs.

As the landfill site and the Ski Village are closed nowadays, there is an opportunity to restore the landscape and become a common ground for people to interact. Therefore, we have proposed to create a sunken gallery at the landfill site and reopening the Ski Village to encourage interactions between people coming from different social classes, this will help to solve the issue of inequality of Parkwood Springs.
Wetland Ancient woodland Broadleaved woodland Urban woodland Meadow Grassland
The Ski Village in the south of Parkwood Springs has closed down a few years ago, but we are proposing a new vision for it where the ski village instead of being the main feature of the landscape blends into the natural environment surrounding it. It will complement the topographical features by making the most of them and play the role of the calling card of Parkwood Springs that

Strategic Landscape Planning
This project is designed to provide practical experience of a near real, client-focused landscape planning project, very similar to what you would come across in practice. It aims to give you hands on experience of using practical tools for landscape planning that are widely used in the profession and of applying them to a very topical current issue relating to renewable energy. It also aims to reinforce what you will learn from an introductory session on working in groups, to demonstrate the importance of this in working in practice.

As suggested in the 2012 guidance ‘Wind Farms - Distance from housing’[7], the minimum distance for any wind farm development should be 350m from any residential dwelling, in order to provide an acceptable level of noise. However, as evidenced in the 350m distance map below, it restricts the location of potential wind turbines to the Peak District National Park, which is highly sensitive to wind farm development. Therefore, to still keep to an acceptable level of noise, the minimum distance has been reduced to 250m.

As the legend explains, the black colour indicates areas that can see all three turbines, whilst dark blue, red and green colours indicate areas that can see a combination of two turbines. Areas with no colour cannot see any turbines.

The reason for this is that surface features are, in principle, temporary, as vegetation and man-made features are removable from the landscape. In reality, these features are likely to block views, but ZTVs are a useful tool to see the worst-case scenario of how visible the wind farm development will be.

A ZTV or Zone of Theoretical Visibility is a way of mapping and analysing where the wind farm development could be potentially visible from. The Zone of Theoretical Visibility is as the name suggests, theoretical and only takes into account the terrain and not the features on the surface, such as trees, houses, walls etc.

Module Co-ordinator: Andy Clayden a.clayden@sheffield.ac.uk This project aims to give students experience of Integrated design, The urban design project provides an opportunity to develop proposals for an area of urban regeneration from the initial planning strategies through to the design of urban spaces. The module explores a range of concept, theories, methodologies and practices related to the urban environment focusing on the spaces between buildings and urban greenspaces. The aim of this module is to equip student with the skills and knowledge needed to undertake urban design projects and communicate design ideas.
Department of Art & Performance
The venue is located in the old railway station in the centre of Derby. The site has strong historical relic information and relatively diverse ecological features. This design uses the rhythm as the design language, penetrating from the initial schematic idea and details inspiration to define a new rebirth of the Derby Friargate station.
