Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Die kompakte Stadt der Zukunft: Auf dem Weg zu
Book SynopsisDas Buch greift die Diskussion um Inklusion in den letzten Jahren in den unterschiedlichsten gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhängen kritisch auf. Ausgangspunkt der Betrachtung ist die Stadt und das urbane Zusammenleben. Denn insbesondere Städte und hier kompakte, also dichte und gemischte Quartiere bieten sich für die Inklusionsforschung und -praxis an, da sie adäquate Sozialräume darstellen, die das heute immer stärker urban geprägte Zusammenleben reflektieren und neu durchbuchstabieren. Vor diesem Hintergrund setzen sich die Autorinnen und Autoren empirisch und theoretisch mit der Frage nach der Gestaltung eines zukunftsorientierten und professionellen Referenzrahmens für eine inklusive und nachhaltige Stadtentwicklung auseinander, die auch einer weiter zunehmenden Mobilität und Diversität gerecht wird.Trade Review“... Das Buch richtet sich sowohl an Studierende und Lehrende der Soziologie als auch an alle, die sich für kritische Stadt- und Regionalentwicklung interessieren, an Mobilität und Diversität arbeitende Forschung, Interessierte aus Kommunalpolitik und Verwaltung sowie an Experten und Expertinnen aus Initiativen und Zivilgesellschaft ... Dieses Stadtgesellschafts-Handbuch ist für eine europäisch-urbane Zukunft ausgerüstet und für jeden Interessierten und Beteiligten unentbehrlich ...” (Kultur Punkt, kultur-punkt.ch, Dezember 2017)Table of ContentsRegional- und Quartiersentwicklung.- Diversität im Bildungs- und den kommunalen Dienstleistungssystemen.- Neue Einwanderung, neue Minderheiten als Modernisierungspioniere in der Kommune.- Leben und Arbeit im Wandel.- Quartiere als Laboratorien für die Inclusive City.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Smart Cities in Asia: Regulations, Problems, and
Book SynopsisThis open access book examines different aspects of smart cities, including technology, urban development, sustainable development, finance, and privacy and data protection. It also covers a wide range of jurisdictions in Asia-Pacific: Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. The book consists of two main parts. The first part includes general chapters that conceptualize smart cities and provide an overview of these cities’ problems such as privacy and data protection concern. The general chapters also discuss the role of public and private sectors in developing and governing smart cities. The second part encompasses country-specific chapters that examine the concepts addressed in the general chapters in practice by analyzing several specific smart city projects.This book provides researchers and practitioners with some knowledge of a smart city and its implication in the Asia context. The book is designed with some general chapters updating the literature on smart cities for readers who are interested in an overview of this concept. Audiences who are curious about how smart cities are perceived and implemented in some Asian jurisdictions are benefited from country-specific chapters. The book is also helpful to general audiences whose interests lay at the intersection of law, governance, and technology.Trade Review“This concise open access book follows in a line of comparative investigations of how laws impact the development of smart cities. … this insightful book suggests that a future clash between international expectations and proposed use of smart wristbands and other surveillance technology in Phuket may necessitate legal provisions to cope with the disconnect from foreign laws protecting private data. Updating legislation to meet contemporary needs would be Welcome for protecting personal data and privacy in Thailand’s smart Cities.” (Benjamin Ivry, Thai Legal Studies, Vol. 3 (2), 2023)Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Conceptualizing Smart Cities: An Overview of Technology and Governance.- Data Privacy Challenges in Smart Cities.- Hong Kong: Does a Smart City Need a Coherent Policy for External Data Flows to Really be Smart?.- The Promise and Challenges of Privacy in Smart City: The Case of Phuket.- Smart City and Privacy Concerns During COVID-19:Lessons from Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia.- The Legal Framework of Smart Cities in Vietnam.- Smart Cities in Vietnam: From the Perspective of the Banking Industry.- Developing Smart City Infrastructure Inside a Historical City – A Case from Thua Thien Hue, Vietnam.

NUS Press Jakarta: City of a Thousand Dimensions
Book SynopsisA study of the forces that shaped Jakarta into the city it is today. Indonesian writer Seno Gumira Ajidarma has called Jakarta a city of a thousand dimensions. A megacity of 30 million under threat from rising sea levels and temperatures, Jakarta and its resilient residents improvise and thrive. This book teases out some of the dimensions that have given shape to contemporary Jakarta, including the city’s expanded flexibility in accommodating capital and labor, and the consistent lack of planning that can be understood as a result of both politics and the poetics of governing in the region. Jakarta is essential reading for those seeking to understand one of Asia's most dynamic cities.Table of ContentsDedicationList of FiguresPrefaceIntroduction: A City with a Thousand Dimensions: Theory, Practice, Subjectivity1.

Taylor & Francis Site Matters Strategies for Uncertainty Through
Book SynopsisIn the era of the Anthropocene, site matters are more pressing than ever. Building on the concepts, theories, and multi-disciplinary approaches raised in the first edition, this publication strives to address the changes that have taken place over the last 15 years with new material to complement and re-position the initial volume. Reaching across design disciplines, this highly illustrated anthology assembles essays from architects, landscape architects, urban designers, planners, historians, and artists to explore ways to physically and conceptually engage site. Thoughtful discourse and empirically grounded pieces combine to provide the language and theory to contextualize the meanings of site in the built environment. The increasingly complex hybridity of constructed environments today demands new tools for thinking about and working with site. Drawing contributions from outside and within the traditional design disciplines, this edition will trace important developments in site thinking with new essays on topics such as climate change, landscape as infrastructure, shifts from global to planetary urbanization debates, and the proliferation of participatory site transformation practices. Edited by two leading practitioners and academics, Site Matters juxtaposes timeless contributions from individuals including Elizabeth Meyer, Robert Beauregard, and Robin Dripps with original new writings from Peter Marcuse, Jane Wolff, Neil Brenner, and Thaisa Way, amongst others, to recontextualize and reignite the debate around site. An ideal text for students, academics, and researchers interested in site and design theory.Trade Review"Site Matters is serious scholarship on an urgent topic. Site is so much more than landscape—it is a concept loaded with social and political meaning, imbued with narrative that needs to be revealed and understood if we are to address climate change—and now global pandemics—in a resourceful way. This reader provides an essential and plausible foundation for tapping that intelligence."Emily Talen, University of Chicago"This innovative and now fully updated set of short essays invites reflection on the meaning of the site as a focal point for the design imagination. The collection provides a uniquely fine-grained and polyphonic vantage point for the enrichment of urban discourse in uncertain times."Matthew Gandy, Professor of Geography, University of Cambridge"Site Matters predicted a relational and contingent trajectory for architecture. Its assertive wake-up call implied that design disciplines, including my own, had insufficiently theorized how site circumstances shape project outcomes. The authors were right. I welcome this new work for its even broader transdisciplinary reach and its frank embrace of earth-bound realities we dare not overlook."Gary Hilderbrand, Peter Louis Hornbeck Professor in Practice of Landscape Architecture, Harvard GSD, Principal, Reed Hilderbrand"The original edition of Site Matters was pioneering in its multidisciplinary approach. This new edition further widens the lens, reflecting the complexity and uncertainty of the times in which we live, and the scale of the challenges we face, particularly the climate crisis. Kahn and Burns, and their diverse roster of contributors, are again ahead of the curve, searching—with deliberation and urgency—for the way forward."Deborah Berke, Dean, Yale School of ArchitectureTable of ContentsPreface to the Second Edition Andrea Kahn Why Site Matters Carol J.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Cultural MegaEvents Opportunities and Risks for
Book SynopsisMega-events have long been used by cities as a strategy to secure global recognition and attract future economic investment. However, while cultural mega-events like the European Capital of Culture have become increasingly popular, cities have begun questioning the traditional model of other events such as the Olympic Games with many candidate cities cancelling bids in recent years. This approach to planning and developing cities through mega-events introduces a broad range of physical effects and nuanced institutional changes for cities, particularly for the more sensitive heritage areas of cities. This book explores these issues by first examining the dynamics of cities' attempts to reduce overall costs and increase the sustainability of these large events by further embedding them within the existing fabric of the city and second by studying in depth the impact on the heritage of host cities. This book investigates three World Heritage Cities: Genoa, Liverpool and Istanbul, each Trade Review"A timely and well researched investigation of the rise of cultural mega-events within urban agendas, and of the opportunities and threats such events raise in heritage-rich European cities. The book reflects on experiences from the UK, Italy and Turkey and will be of interest to researchers, heritage experts, mega-event promoters and policy makers." – Franco Bianchini, Professor of Cultural Policy and Planning, Director of Culture, Place and Policy Institute (CPPI), University of Hull"Zachary Jones discloses an innovative perspective not only on cultural mega-events but also on their relationship with cultural heritage and what urban planning and policy can do with it. His book provides the readers with solid evidence and it envisions new paths for mega-event and heritage research and planning." – Davide Ponzini, Associate Professor of Urban Planning, Politecnico di Milano"Zachary Jones presents a diligently researched and clearly written analysis of an important new phenomenon – the cultural mega-event – and its contributions to urban development and heritage globally. His carefully framed spatial stories support analyses of the political and economic drivers of these events (Olympics, expos, cultural capitals) and foreground their substantial long-term effects. This book makes significant contributions to the literature on heritage, urban design and development, and placemaking."— Randall Mason, Associate Professor, Stuart Weitzman School of Design, University of Pennsylvania"Despite the clear potential for synergies and tensions to arise between cultural mega-events and the stewardship of built heritage, there has so far been a paucity of conceptually informed and empirically rich research on these issues. This book clearly addresses this gap in the state of our current knowledge by addressing how the hosting of such events may in some contexts be used as an opportunity to foster certain heritage objectives, whilst in others heritage may be a less central concern, or even be marginalised as something of a ‘poor relation’ in the wider cultural mega-event planning and hosting process. The book combines conceptual insights on these issues with engaging accounts of three emblematic cases of cities which have hosted the European Capital of Culture title – Genoa, Liverpool and Istanbul, to provide recommendations to decision makers on how to maximise the opportunities and minimise the threats presented by mega-events to heritage. It also provides a novel academic framework which can be used to elucidate these issues and in so doing significantly advances the present debate and scope for further research in the field." -- Olivier Sykes, Department of Geography and Planning, University of Liverpool Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Gentrification Displacement and Alternative
Book SynopsisGentrification is one of the most debilitatingand least understoodissues in American cities today. Scholars and community activists adjoin in Gentrification, Displacement, and Alternative Futures to engage directly and critically with the issue of gentrification and to address its impacts on marginalized, materially exploited, and displaced communities. Authors in this collection begin to unpack and explore the forces that underlie these significant changes in an area's social character and spatial landscape. Central in their analyses is an emphasis on racial formations and class relations, as they each look to find the essence of the urban condition through processes of demographic change, economic restructuring, and gentrification. Their original findings locate gentrification within a carefully integrated theoretical and political framework and challenge readers to look critically at the present and future of gentrification studies. Gentrification, DispTrade ReviewThis exciting, fresh, and timely collection Gentrification, Displacement, and Alternative Futures discusses the enduring and yet changing relationship between race and class with respect to processes of gentrification and offers a welcome and distinctive Latina/o/x consideration. A key focus is the necessary confrontation between neoliberalism and racialized mobilization in resisting market and state driven gentrification. This is a book that will add much to gentrification debates and that scholars and activists alike should buy! Loretta Lees, University of Leicester What does it mean to place the study of gentrification, as a necessarily racialized process of displacement and dispossession, at the very heart of critical urban theory? Here is a bold volume that does precisely this, drawing attention to the many modes of gentrification from cultural place-making to art washing to transit-oriented development. Refusing the inevitability of such spatial restructuring, the authors root their research and analysis in communities that imagine, demand, and create alternative futures.
