Taylor & Francis The Routledge Handbook of Housing Economics
Book SynopsisThe Routledge Handbook of Housing Economics brings together an international panel of contributors to present a comprehensive overview of this important field within economics. Housing occupies an increasingly central role in modern society, dominating consumer assets and spending, forming an important part of social policy and being a large enough market to impact the macroeconomy. This handbook tackles these themes, along with other critical issues such as intergenerational housing inequality and the efficiency and social justice of housing interventions.This volume is structured in four main parts. It starts with eight chapters in microeconomics and housing. This is followed by two shorter sections on macroeconomics and finance. The final main part of the book is concerned with eight chapters on policy dimensions. While many of the chapters are rooted in mainstream economics and finance applied to housing, there are also chapters stressing institutional, behaviour

Taylor & Francis Regenerative Urban Design and Ecosystem
Book SynopsisIt is clear that the climate is changing and ecosystems are becoming severely degraded. Humans must mitigate the causes of, and adapt to, climate change and the loss of biodiversity, as the impacts of these changes become more apparent and demand urgent responses. These pressures, combined with rapid global urbanisation and population growth mean that new ways of designing, retrofitting and living in cities are critically needed. Incorporating an understanding of how the living world works and what ecosystems do into architectural and urban design is a step towards the creation and evolution of cities that are radically more sustainable and potentially regenerative. Can cities produce their own food, energy, and water? Can they be designed to regulate climate, provide habitat, cycle nutrients, and purify water, air and soil?This book examines and defines the field of biomimicry for sustainable built environment design and goes on to translate ecological knowledge into practical methodologies for architectural and urban design that can proactively respond to climate change and biodiversity loss. These methods are tested and exemplified through a series of case studies of existing cities in a variety of climates.Regenerative Urban Design and Ecosystem Biomimicry will be of great interest to students, professionals and researchers of architecture, urban design, ecology, and environmental studies, as well as those interested in the interdisciplinary study of sustainability, ecology and urbanism.Table of Contents1. A shift in architectural and urban design: cities as a medium of change 2. Incorporating biomimicry into regenerative design 3. Can built environment biomimicry address climate change? 4. Translating ecosystem processes into built environment design 5. Emulating ecosystem services in architectural and urban design: Ecosystem Services Analysis 6.

Taylor & Francis The Shared Space The Two Circuits of the Urban
Book SynopsisOriginally published in 1979. In this forcefully argued book, Milton Santos shows that contemporary explanations of urbanization and spatial organization in underdeveloped countries are inadequate. This failure is attributable to their origins in theories elaborated to explain the development of advanced Western societies. Santos' work provides the basis for the new theory which is so badly needed. He describes the urban economy in these countries in terms of two circuits of activity â an upper circuit consisting of those enterprises and structures which are based on modern technology and are oriented towards the advanced capitalist world, and a lower circuit comprised of more traditional processes and forms of exchange. The dialectical interaction of these two circuits is seen to generate the patterns of growth, forms of State intervention and, above all, the spatial organization characteristic of Third World economies. This was a revision and translation of LâEspace Partagà (1975). Table of ContentsPreface Part 1 1. Introduction: Towards a New Paradigm 2. The Two Circuits of the Urban Economy: Evolution and Characteristics 3. The Colonial Urban Economy: Two Circuits? Part 2 4. The Upper Circuit 5. The State and the Upper Circuit Part 3 6.

Taylor & Francis Ltd High Rise and Fall
Book SynopsisHigh Rise and Fall tells the story of how the European commercial property industry transformed from a local, small-scale business to an international, financially sophisticated, multi-billion-euro industry that was ultimately devastated by the 2008 crash.Drawing on her experience as both former Editor of EuroProperty and Director at the European Association for Investors in Non-Listed Real Estate Vehicles (INREV), Andrea Carpenter explains how the mid-1990s saw the arrival of a new style of property investing in the European markets. Seeking high returns, impervious to risk and with a seeming indifference to the buildings at the heart of the deals, US players such as Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers conquered the European property markets with an audacity that both repulsed and intoxicated the locals. Fuelled by improving economic conditions in the early 2000s, European investors were keen to emulate all or parts of the US iTrade Review"High Rise and Fall takes a no holds barred view of the historically cyclical nature of the property sector to provide an invaluable perspective for any new entrant, particularly of the core financial markets that underpin and invest in property globally as a core investment class. When 75% of the world wealth is invested in global real estate this book gives a unique perspective on the financial backbone that make this one of the most exciting sectors to be involved with. A must read for "the love of property" on the "revival and survival" associated with a career in this great profession."

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Fight for Fair Housing
Book SynopsisThe federal Fair Housing Act of 1968 was passed in a time of turmoil, conflict, and often conflagration in cities across the nation. It took the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to finally secure its passage. The Kerner Commission warned in 1968 that to continue present policies is to make permanent the division of our country into two societies; one largely Negro and poor, located in the central cities; the other, predominantly white and affluent, located in the suburbs and outlying areas. The Fair Housing Act was passed with a dual mandate: to end discrimination and to dismantle the segregated living patterns that characterized most cities. The Fight for Fair Housing tells us what happened, why, and what remains to be done.Since the passage of the Fair Housing Act, the many forms of housing discrimination and segregation, and associated consequences, have been documented. At the same time, significant progress has been made in counteracting discTrade Review"The Fight for Fair Housing documents the absolute necessity of fair housing enforcement and chronicles the history of the quest for fairness in the places where Americans live." Henry Cisneros, Chairman of CityView and former Secretary of HUD"The Fight for Fair Housing provides the definitive account of the nation’s struggle to realize the goals of the Fair Housing Act, and it does so through the eyes of the scholars who have chronicled the story and the activists who continue the battle for what is right, good and fair."Sheryll Cashin, author of Loving: Interracial Intimacy in America and the Threat to White Supremacy"The Fair Housing Act has been critically important for families, communities, and all segments of the housing industry. The Fight for Fair Housing educates us about the continued need to dismantle barriers, ultimately moving us closer to being a nation where fair housing and equal opportunity are the norm in all communities."Steve Rasmussen, CEO Nationwide "Fifty years have passed since the signing of the Fair Housing Act, the most important housing reform that the civil rights era produced. The expert contributors to The Fight for Fair Housing reexamine the law’s purpose, impact and legacy. But from the old days of racially restrictive housing covenants and overt redlining to today’s new challenges of gentrification and dislocation, the message is clear: The battle to protect equal housing rights does not end. It only changes form." Clarence Page, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist, Chicago Tribune's Washington BureauTable of ContentsForeword The Legacy of a Movement Chapter 1.
