First, it attempts to describe and understand how particular aspects of urban morphology, such as built heritage and innovative design of space, have become the competitive edge in terms of landscape. Second, it develops the argument that on the basis of their great potential for (a) promoting economic growth and (b) enhancing place identity of cities, both built heritage and innovative design of space appear to be expansively used as major components of contemporary strategic plans of cities for the transformation and improvement of urban landscape. Combining and promoting built heritage and innovative design of space as two central themes in urban landscape transformations generates, for the 21st century city, a new landscape collage dominated by two extremes: (a) that of tradition with rather local spatial references and (b) that of innovation having more universal or global spatial references. Thus, under the forces of globalization, the new emerging urban landscapes may be termed as ‘‘glocalised’’ ones. As a case study, Athens and the landscape transformations for Olympic Games 2004 are analysed. 16 pp. LOMv1.0 creator LOMv1.0subject matter expert LOMv1.0 publisher LOMv1.0 Project Final Beneficiary LOMv1.0 Project Executing Organisation 2004 Digital Library of the Operational Programme "Education and Lifelong Learning" abstract types Text Urban landscape Globalization Built heritage Innovative design of space Greece 905160 application/pdf http://repository.edulll.gr/edulll/bitstream/10795/3547/2/3547_Glocalising%20Urban%20Landscapes%20-%20Athens%202004.pdf «Αστικές Αναπλάσεις και Πράσινος Σχεδιασμός» - Υλικό μαθημάτων - Αστικές αναπλάσεις και τα νέα αστικά τοπία– Υλικό 2ου μαθήματος URI http://hdl.handle.net/10795/3547 LOMv1.0creator 2016-06-02T10:37:45Z LOMv1.0validator 2016-06-02T10:37:45Z LOMv1.0 gre no no Copyright EYD-EPEDBM (Operational Programme "Education and Lifelong Learning")
