Legacy of Arts and Chrono-Urbanism in Wynwood, Miami
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025-04) Grant, Richard J.; Li, Han; Oner, Asli Ceylan
Significant progress in the concept of chrono-urbanism has occurred since the pandemic, partly driven by the adoption of the 15-minute city model from European and Asian cities to the United States. In recent years, Miami's urban planning has shifted toward mixed-use development and densification, with neighborhoods like Wynwood embracing chrono-urbanism and arts-focused redevelopment strategies. Our study examines this transition in Wynwood, focusing on the role of the arts using a mixed-methods approach. We find that positive developments in business and real estate, particularly within 5- and 10-minute walking and biking catchment areas, contributing to a more mixed-use community. However, the closure of art galleries and the redevelopment of vacant lots and older buildings into high-rise developments are replacing the organic street art that initially attracted artists and visitors. This shift has led to more commercialized, commissioned art pieces that meet building codes but lack the unique character of the original works. During interviews, gallery representatives expressed concern that Wynwood is evolving from an arts district into a high-priced area known more for its murals than its creative community. Although chrono-urbanism is being adopted in many cities, differences in economic, cultural, political, and geographic contexts necessitate those approaches be tailored to each urban environment.
Public Green Spaces in Cbds: Reconsidering the Central Business District of İstanbul
(Taylor and Francis, 2024-04-26) Mengi, Onur; Deniz D.; Oner A.C.; Gökçe B.; Deniz, Deniz; Gökçe, Buðra; Oner, Asli Ceylan
This chapter underlines the crucial relationship between public green space and tall buildings, which is increasingly integral to the quality of urban life as the pace of urbanization reaches its global peak. The specific focus will be on the central business districts (CBDs) of global cities, as these areas have the greatest density of high-rises, it argues the quality of life provided through public green space in between tall buildings. The chapter reviews the characteristics of CBDs of global cities in terms of their public green space characteristics. The findings show that there has been a considerable effort to green the CBDs of global cities, especially in integrating waterfront developments and intelligent transportation systems integrated for connectivity within the sub-areas. However, not all cities have the same level of green infrastructure and connectivity, and this is deeply connected with the planning decisions regarding the prioritization of public green space in the planning of the CBD, as is mainly seen in the case of Istanbul. © 2024 selection and editorial matter, Peng Du, Kheir Al-Kodmany, and Mir M.

Triple Helix Spaces: A Tale of Three Helices
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025-12-19) Kose, Suheda; Elburz, Zeynep; Velibeyoglu, Koray; Oner, Asli Ceylan
In recent years, the Triple Helix model has gained prominence within academic circles. This study, situated in the field of city planning, aims to clarify the model's theoretical foundations, evaluate its measurement techniques, and explore the relationship between the Triple Helix and urban space. By examining 231 Triple Helix-related publications from the past 40 years (up to 12 July 2024, sourced from the Web of Science Core Collection), we propose a framework of three distinct generations for understanding Triple Helix spaces in urban contexts. The first-generation Triple Helix space is characterized by direct interactions among the three primary actors: university, industry, and government. The second-generation expands on this by including multiple interactions among the three main actors and their facilitators. The third-generation involves the circular interaction of multiple second-generation Triple Helix spaces. Across these generations, the study provides a lens for analyzing innovative urban spaces through Triple Helix interactions and offers practical approaches for examining the Triple Helix spaces. The findings also contribute to the theoretical foundation for the sustainable development of such spaces.
