Taylor & Francis Ltd An Economic History of Regional Industrialization
Book SynopsisThis book offers a comprehensive study of regional industrialization in Europe and Asia from the early nineteenth century to the present. Using case studies on regional industrialization, the book provides insights into similarities and differences in industrialization processes between European, Eurasian and Asian countries. Important factors include the transition from traditional to modern industrial production, industrial policy, agglomeration forces, market integration, and the determinants of industrial location over time.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Understanding Urban Cycling
Book SynopsisAcademic interest in cycling has burgeoned in recent years with significant literature relating to the health and environmental benefits of cycling, the necessity for cycle-specific infrastructure, and the embodied experiences of cycling.Based upon primary research in a variety of contexts such as London, Shanghai and Taipei, this book demonstrates that recent developments in urban cycling policy and practice are closely linked to broader processes of capital accumulation. It argues that cycling is increasingly caught up in discourses around smart cities that emphasise technological solutions to environmental problems and neoliberal ideas on individual responsibility and bio-political conduct, which only results in solutions that prioritise those who are already mobile. Accordingly, the central argument of the book is not that the popularisation of cycling is inherently bad, but that the manner in which cycling is being popularised gives cause for social and environmental conTable of Contents1. Cycling toward sustainability? 2. Towards a political-economy of cycling 3. Making up the (productive) cycling subject: excluding the ‘non-standard’ user in cycle infrastructure design 4. Extracting surplus value from mobility: cycling policy and practice in London (UK) as a mode of political-economic and bio-political governance 5. Economising ‘trick’ cycling on London’s South Bank: culture-led regeneration, spectacle and ‘entertailing’ 6. Building the Taiwanese mobilityscape: an actor-network account of the journey from Bicycle Kingdom to Cycling Paradise 7. Transport solution or vehicle for surveillance capitalism? A case study of Dockless Public Bike Sharing (PBSS2.0) in Shanghai 8. Conclusions: where do we go from here?

Taylor & Francis Biophilic Connections and Environmental
Book SynopsisBiophilic Connections and Environmental Encounters in the Urban Age takes a multi-disciplinary approach, drawing on the authors' wide range of experience, to provide a greater understanding of the different dimensions of environmental engagement. It considers the ways that we interact with our environments, presenting a comprehensive account of how people negotiate and use the urban landscape. Set within current debates concerning urban futures, societal issues, sustainable cities, health and well-being, the book explores our innate need for contact with the natural world through biophilic design thinking to expand our knowledge base and promote a wider understanding of the importance of these interactions on our collective well-being. It responds to questions such as, what are the urban qualities that support our well-being? As an urbanised society what are the environmental determinants that promote healthy and satisfying lifestyles? Beginning with an overview of cTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.
