Book SynopsisWhy do we plan? Who decides how and where we plan and what we should value? How do theories and ideologies filter down into real policies and plans which affect our lives?Written in a deliberately practitioner-friendly manner, this useful guide answers these questions and reveals planning theories to be simply new ideas that can help one see the world differently. Thinking about them enables us to take a step back to appreciate the wider context.

Berrett-Koehler The Abundant Community: Awakening the Power of
Book SynopsisThere is a growing movement of people with a different vision for their local communities. They know that real satisfaction and the good life are not provided by organizations, institutions, or systems. No numbers of great CEOs, central offices, or long range plans produce what a community can produce. People are discovering a new possibility for their lives. They have a calling. They are called. And together they call upon themselves.This possibility is idealistic, and yet it is an ideal within our grasp. It is a possibility that is both idealistic and realistic. Our culture leads us to believe that a satisfying life can be purchased. It tells us that in the place where we live, we don't have the resources to create a good life. This book reminds us that a neighborhood that can raise a child, provide security, sustain our health, secure our income, and care for our vulnerable people is within the power of our community.This book gives voice to our ideal of a beloved community. It reminds us of our power to create a hope-filled life. It assures us that when we join together with our neighbors we are the architects of the future where we want to live.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Dynamic Patterns
Book SynopsisDynamic Patterns explores the role of patterns in designed landscapes. Patterns are inherently relational, and the search for and the creation of patterns are endemic to many scientific and artistic endeavors. Recent advances in optical tools, sensors, and computing have expanded our understanding of patterns as a link between natural and cultural realms. Looking beyond the surface manifestation of pattern, M'Closkey and VanDerSys delve into a multifaceted examination that explores new avenues for engagement with patterns using digital media. Examining the theoretical implications of pattern-making, they probe the potential of patterns to conjoin landscape's utilitarian and aesthetic functions. With full color throughout and over one hundred and twenty images, Dynamic Patterns utilizes work from a wide range of artists and designers to demonstrate how novel modes of visualization have facilitated new ways of seeing patterns and therefore oTable of ContentsForeword by James Corner, Preface, Introduction, 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd A Research Agenda for Place Branding
Book SynopsisThis cutting-edge Research Agenda for Place Branding explores ideas and debates that inform a refreshing take on the future of place branding and marketing. It argues that we are at a juncture where the logical and sensible step is to push the âreset buttonâ on such activity and fully reconsider its purpose and goals.Trade Review'Most key themes of interest to anyone involved in place branding research are covered in the governance, contexts and experiences sections, and along with the key grounding issues, the book contains some very insightful case studies. In the final chapter, Stephen Brown recognises that while place branding may have peaked, we now see more of a focus on destination demarketing. This book is therefore very timely. Since global tourism was devastated in 2020 and places seek to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, a more considered research agenda as outlined in this book may lead to places being better managed with a focus more on sufficiency than growth, so we do not face a need for destination demarketing again.' -- Heather Skinner, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK'At last, a truly critical book on a highly controversial matter, with a broad range of contributions from geography, marketing, politics and beyond. One of its many merits is the juxtaposition of contrasting perspectives: from those who see place branding as a means of improving places, to others who consider it just another tool of the neoliberal project. This volume is an indispensable reference work for anybody who wants to understand the development, limitations, and potential research agendas of this ''discipline''.' -- Ares Kalandides, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK'A Research Agenda for Place Branding is not only the title of this book - but is also much needed. While in recent decades we created common ground and shared definitions (or at least agreed to disagree), place branding now needs an academic inspiration, some novel ideas and rigorous, impactful contributions. This book combines many of the critical well-known interdisciplinary minds of our field. I invite you to read it and use its ideas to develop bold research ideas and create this necessary new research agenda for place branding.' -- Sebastian Zenker, Copenhagen Business School, DenmarkTable of ContentsContents: 1 Place branding’s present and past realities, and future research agendas 1 Dominic Medway, Gary Warnaby and John Byrom PART I GOVERNANCE 2 Place branding and the neoliberal class settlement 19 Aram Eisenschitz 3 Computational approaches to place branding: A call for a theory-driven research agenda 33 Efe Sevin 4 Demystifying participation and engagement in the branding of urban places 47 Andrea Insch 5 The spatial planning–place branding nexus: A research agenda for spatial development 67 Eduardo Oliveira, Kristof Van Assche and Raoul Beunen PART II CONTEXTS 6 Place branding and locational decisions: Taking a behavioural economics perspective? 87 Aleks Vladimirov and Gary Warnaby 7 Global city branding 101 Adriana Campelo 8 The Nordic wave in place branding: Global implications and relevance 117 Cecilia Cassinger, Andrea Lucarelli and Szilvia Gyimóthy 9 The tale of three cities: Place branding, scalar complexity and football 131 Steve Millington, Chloe Steadman, Gareth Roberts and Dominic Medway 10 Sustainable Development Goals in place branding: Developing a research agenda 151 Anette Therkelsen, Laura James and Henrik Halkier 11 Keeping pace with the digital transformation of place 163 Brendan James Keegan PART III EXPERIENCE 12 Posthuman phenomenology: What are places like for nonhumans? 183 Jack Coffin 13 Co-creation of place brands? 201 Jenny Rowley and Sonya Hanna 14 Tourism, the burden of authenticity and place branding 215 Maria Lichrou and Lisa O’Malley 15 Making ‘sense’ of place branding: Adopting a sensemaking, sensefiltering and sensegiving lens 233 Laura Reynolds and Nicole Koenig-Lewis 16 Considering place and the sensorium through the lens of non-representational theory 247 Simon Cryer PART IV CREATIVITY 17 Illuminating identity: The capacity of light festivals to enhance place? 267 Tim Edensor 18 ‘The artist in you’: Thinking differently about place branding research 283 Mihalis Kavaratzis and Gary Warnaby 19 Peak place marketing: My part in its downfall 301 Stephen Brown Index 313

Frog Ltd Staying Alive: Women, Ecology, and Development
Book SynopsisInspired by women’s struggles for the protection of nature as a condition for human survival, award-winning environmentalist Vandana Shiva shows how ecological destruction and the marginalization of women are not inevitable, economically or scientifically. She argues that “maldevelopment”—the violation of the integrity of organic, interconnected, and interdependent systems that sets in motion a process of exploitation, inequality, and injustice—is dragging the world down a path of self-destruction, threatening survival itself. Shiva articulates how rural Indian women experience and perceive ecological destruction and its causes, and how they have conceived and initiated processes to arrest the destruction of nature and begin its regeneration. Focusing on science and development as patriarchal projects, Staying Alive is a powerfully relevant book that positions women not solely as survivors of the crisis, but as the source of crucial insights and visions to guide our struggle.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Infrastructure: Rebuilding, Repairing &
Book SynopsisThere are various definitions of what constitutes infrastructure, but generally infrastructure refers to the large-scale public systems, services, and facilities of a country or region that are necessary for economic activity. The sector tends to be separated into two broad subsets - economic and social. Economic infrastructure includes highways, water and sewerage facilities, and energy distribution and telecommunication networks whereas social infrastructure encompasses schools, universities, hospitals, public housing and prisons. Infrastructure assets are generally characterised by high development costs (high barriers to entry) and long lives. They are generally managed and financed on a long-term basis. Historically it was seen as the role of the government to fund and manage these assets for the good of the population. Today, the role of the government as the provider of public services is increasingly being questioned both in terms of the absolute cost to taxpayers and as to whether a government can deliver the assets as efficiently as a private company competing for the privilege. From the government''s perspective there is a strong case for privatisation, where the debt raised by the private partner remains on their balance sheets, not on that of the Treasury''s. These factors have resulted in a gradual migration from the public provision of infrastructure to the private sector. The private provision of these assets may take many forms from joint ventures, concessions and franchises through to straight delivery contracts. Essentially the private sector is being brought in to design, build, finance and/or maintain public sector assets in return for long term contracted payments from the government or access to the revenues generated from the asset.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Motor Vehicle Crashes: Economic & Societal
Book SynopsisIn 2010 the total economic cost of motor vehicle crashes in the United States was $277 billion. This represents the present value of lifetime economic costs for 32,999 fatalities, 3.9 million non-fatal injuries, and 24 million damaged vehicles. These figures include both police-reported and unreported crashes. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is charged with improving the safety of our Nation''s roadways. The agency accomplishes this by regulating vehicle safety performance, enforcing existing safety requirements, and promoting programs that influence driver behaviour. This book describes the process, assumptions, and methods used by the agency to estimate the impact of its safety regulations and behavioural programs on fatality rates, and measures the impact of these programs on those rates.

Transcript Verlag Placing America: American Culture and Its Spaces
Book SynopsisIn "Call Me Ishmael", Charles Olson exclaims "SPACE to be the central fact to man born in America". Indeed, from the start, history and identity in America have been intricately tied to issues of space: from the idea of the "city upon a hill" to the transnational (soft) power of the United States, space has always served as an important parameter of power gained or lost and of the struggles to maintain or resist it. With contributions that range from the construction of America in (European) academic discourses to children's fiction, this collection provides an extensive and insightful study of how space influences our understanding of America.Trade Review"The ongoing discussion of spaces and spatiality as well as of the opposition of space and place are certainly enriched by this volume, which offers new insight into a complex topic and features innovative, substantial, and inspiring essays."

Book SynopsisSince 1991, post-Soviet political elites in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus have been engaged in nation -- as well as state-building. They have tried to strengthen territorial sovereignty and national security, re-shape collective identities and re-narrate national histories. Former Soviet republics have become new neighbours, partners and competitors searching for geopolitical identity in the new Eastern Europe," i.e. the countries left outside the enlarged EU. Old paradigms such as "Eurasia" or "East Slavic civilisation" have been re-invented and politically instrumentalised in the international relations and domestic politics of these countries. At the same time, these old concepts and myths have been contested and challenged by pro-Western elites. The main subject of this book is the construction of post-Soviet borders and their political, social and cultural implications. It focuses on the exemplary case of the Ukrainian-Russian border, approaching it as a social construct and a discursive phenomenon. The book shows how the symbolic meanings of and narratives on this border contribute to national identity formation and shape the images of the neighbouring countries as "the Other" thereby shedding new light on the role of border disputes between Ukraine and Russia in bilateral relations, in EU neighbourhood politics and in domestic political conflicts. The study also addresses "border making" on the regional level, focusing on the cross-border co-operation between Kharkiv and Belgorod and on the dilemmas of a Euro-region "in absence of Europe". Finally, it reflects the everyday experiences of the residents of near-border villages and shows how national and local identities are performed at, and transformed by, the new border.Trade Review[The] analytical structure and trajectory of Zhurzhenkos work travelling from broad historical time and geopolitical space to the here and now practically means one could read it from the last chapter to the first as easily as the other, conventional, way around. I enjoyed immensely reading in the closing chapters the Ukrainian and Russian villagers own testimonies, their preoccupations, details of their changing lives. I could well have taken all this in first before proceeding to the so called 'bigger questions' of state-to-state relations and the changing geopolitical architecture of Eastern Europe. Either way, it is a carefully constructed narrative about the advent of a border in peoples minds and across their land. -- Debatte, vol. 19, issue 1-2, 2011"I enjoyed immensely reading in the closing chapters the Ukrainian and Russian villagers' own testimonies, their preoccupations, details of their changing lives. It is a carefully constructed narrative about the advent of a border in people's minds and across their land. -- Marko Bojcun, Faculty of Governance and International Relations London Metropolitan University"Overall, this monograph is an excellent piece of scholarship, which is well written and extremely well researched. It will be of interest to researchers and students of East European Studies as well as Post-Soviet Studies and of specific interest for individuals interested in border studies as an emerging sub-field within the social sciences. -- Peter Rodgers, University of Sheffield[] many academic readers will find the fieldwork portion of Zhurzhenkos volume, as well as some of her theoretical analysis, informative and thought-provoking.

Bruce Jefferies, an Assistant Supervising Ranger with New Zealand's National Park Service, took off for Nepal with his wife Margaret, and three young children. They had little idea of what to expect in this remote, high-altitude environment. Under the Himalayan Sky is Margaret's memoir of the time the family spent in Khumbu (Mt Everest), with no running water or electricity, largely cut off from the outside world, living on the traditional local diet of potatoes and tea. In spite of what might be perceived as hardships, the family embraced life amongst the colourfeul and hospitable Sherpa people.

Book SynopsisAs a founder and managing director of Global Business Network, James Ogilvy helped develop the technique of scenario planning, which has become an integral part of strategic thinking in both business and government. Now Ogilvy shows how we can use this cutting-edge method for social change in our own neighborhoods. In Building Better Futures, Ogilvy presents a profound new vision of how the world is changing--and how it can be changed for the better. Ogilvy argues that self-defined communities, rather than individuals or governments, have become the primary agents for social change. Towns, professional associations, and interest groups of all kinds help shape the future in all the ways that matter most, from schools and hospitals to urban development. The key to improvement is scenario planning--a process that draws on groups of people, both lay and expert, to draft narratives that spell out possible futures, some to avoid, some inspiring hope.
