Appendix A: Mapping of research implications and future directions to theoretical sources

This appendix provides a systematic synthesis of the review’s theoretical and practical contributions. Given the complex nature of the negative dialectic work proposed in the main text, these tables serve as an operational tool to bridge the gap between abstract theory and applied urban design strategies. Table S1, integrated implications, synthesizes the diagnostic findings of the research (Section 6.3.1), demonstrating how the condition of rapid urban transformations is evidenced by the literature on the production of space, memory, and paradigm shifts. Table S2, future directions, outlines the forward-looking agenda (Section 6.3.2). Crucially, it includes a "Theoretical Focus" column, which allows the reader to trace exactly how abstract concepts (e.g., Production of Space, Reconstruction Memory) translate into concrete research and design actions.
