Urban Identity as a Complementary Tool to Urban Wellbeing ; Urbane Identität als ergänzendes Instrument für das urbane Wohlbefinden
The society we live in, is a society in transition wherein ideas of growth and wellbeing are equally debated. The call to make cities sustainable and resilient of the Goal number 11 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), was further strengthened by the New Urban Agenda (NUA). The WBGU report on the same highlights the need to understand wellbeing and Eigenart (or identity) and address them at various levels including policies. This PhD research assumes great significance in this context. The first objective of this research is to understand Wellbeing and its attributes in the urban context, especially from the perspective of post-industrial revolution urbanization in the western world. Wellbeing as concept has eluded thinkers and practitioners alike since the time of Aristotle and has been dealt primarily within the realm of philosophy, psychology and even economics but is relatively unexplored from the urban planning perspective. However, the applied modules of wellbeing such as sustainability and quality of life are often discussed. The notion of wellbeing is very exhaustive and to do justification to the resources, this notion was systematically narrowed down by establishing links between its various attributes among which Urban Identity (similar to the Eigenart concept of WBGU) is further researched. This research thoroughly examines the various theoretical aspects of urban identity and highlights the ways to adapt them to the needs of urban planning. This research also discusses four global best practices that relate various theoretical aspects and provide a valuable understanding of how these concepts can be converted into actions and projects. Based on the theoretical framework of this research, the urban identity of three different neighborhoods of the city of Essen is empirically analyzed. This allowed for a comparative understanding of the role the identity of different neighborhoods within the same city plays in their overall wellbeing. These results were finally weighted w.r.t. the overall ...
