The Cultural Development Of Vietnam: Updating Policy For 2020, Dung Nguyen Manh

Journal of Urban Culture Research

However, points just try to focus on the relationship between culture and sustainable develop-ment, that is, it seeks to clarify the role of culture in economic development and environmental protection with general comments.

Protecting Cultural Space Or Urban Re-Colonization: When Do Cultural Districts Cross The Line?, Tom Borrup Jul 2015

Protecting Cultural Space Or Urban Re-Colonization: When Do Cultural Districts Cross The Line?, Tom Borrup

Journal of Urban Culture Research

The formation of arts and cultural districts or clusters may be organic or planned (or a hybrid) but they often result in dislocation of those outside the district's dominant cultural group or those without escalating economic capacity. Some districts primarily serve real estate development interests; some propel local artists and creative enterprises; some protect space for community cultural expression and make life better for existing residents. Few can mix more than one of these purposes but for a short time. This paper reviews six cultural districts in the United States, each at a different stage of a development continuum. In …

Artists & Creativity In Urban Placemaking: Re!Ections On A Downtown Minneapolis Cultural District, Tom Borrup

Journal of Urban Culture Research

Participatory city planning led by artists was not in the sightlines of Geddes or Mumford when modern planning practices were born. A century-long trend brings increased requirements and expectations of participation by public stakeholders and growth in neighborhood and district-level planning.

Challenges to the profession grow as the role of planner evolves from engineer to facilitator. This paper reviews these trends as well as recent scholarly work calling for more involvement of creative voices …

Shaping A Creative Milieu: Creativity, Process, Pedagogy, Leadership, And Place, Tom Borrup

Journal of Urban Culture Research

This paper surveys research in relation to the conditions and processes considered important in fostering creativity in a variety of contexts including cities, organizations, and learning environments. Two established schools of the arts, and their leaders, serve as case studies in the examination of milieu designed to foster creative thinking and work. The paper identifies ten characteristics found to be common in the formation of creative milieu by scholars in psychology, business, economics, anthropology, geography, leadership, urban studies, education, and the arts. Characteristics include exchanges across cultures and domains of knowledge, opportunities for serendipitous interactions and for solitude, risk-taking, stable …

Anglo-Siamese Negotiations 1900-1909, Thamsook Numnonda

Journal of Letters

This title clearly indicates that this is a series of negotiations between the British and the Siamese Governments in the first nine years of the twentieth century. The prolonged dispute between the two countries was stirred up in 1902 by the wish of the Siamese Govern- ment, under the leadership of King Chulalongkorn, to settle some burning Anglo-Siamese questions such as the problems of extraterritoriality, the existence of the Anglo-Siamese Secret Convention of 1897 and the question of Siamese suzerainty over the northern Malay States of Kedah, Kelantan, Trengganu and Perlis. In order to appreciate the painful and slow attempts …
