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 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. Third World Poverty and the Lower Circuit 7. The Nature of Lower Circuit Employment 8. The Financial Mechanisms of the Lower Circuit 9. Adaptability and Rationality in the Lower Circuit 10. Inter-circuit Relations and the Parameters of Growth Part 4 11. Monopoly, the State and Macrospatial Organization 12. The Shared Space 13. Conclusion

Taylor & Francis Ltd Cities and Literature
Book SynopsisThis book offers a critical introduction to the relation between cities and literature (fiction, poetry and literary criticism) from the late eighteenth to twenty-first centuries. It examines examples of writing from Europe, North America and post-colonial countries, juxtaposed with key ideas from urban cultural and critical theories.Cities and Literature shows how literature frames real and imagined constructs and experiences of cities. Arranged thematically each chapter offers a narrative which introduces a number of key thinkers and writers whose vision illuminates the prevailing idea of the city at the time. The themes are extended or challenged by boxed cases of specific texts or images accompanied by short critical commentaries; the structure provides readers with a map of the terrain enabling connections across time and place within manageable limits, and offers elements of critical discussion to serve a growing number of university courses which involve the intersectiTrade Review"Moving among canonical and forgotten texts and cultural theory about the modern (Western) city, Malcolm Miles shows literature's importance to the ways we imagine and experience urban space and city life, and why the questions that activity raises matter beyond the classroom. His attention to avant gardes and their milieus is a particularly welcome addition to the discussion and of a piece with his presiding focus on the city as an institution of culture." - Kevin McNamara, Professor of Literature, University of Houston-Clear Lake, USA"Restless, wide-ranging and always intellectually challenging, in this book Malcolm Miles takes us on an journey through Western cities across the last three centuries by examining a sequence of novels and poems written by the likes of Austen, Eliot (George, aka Mary Anne Evans), Eliot (Thomas Stearns), Woolf, Camus and DeLillo. In doing so, he elicits a strong dialectic: cities as the locus for modern literature under Capitalism, and literature as expressive of the negative and positive aspects of Capitalist urban life. Rarely have such insights been so refreshingly expressed as in this book. Self-evidently a labour of love, it also offers a superb summation of Miles’s own writings over the years." - Professor Murray Fraser, Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, UKTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Vernacular Regeneration
Book SynopsisUrban regeneration is currently taking place in inner-city Johannesburg. This book presents an alternative, multi-layered account for reading the process of urban change and renewal.The provision of social and affordable housing and the spread of private security are explored through the lenses of neoliberal urbanism, gentrification, the privatisation of public space and revanchist policing. This book interrogates these concepts and challenges their assumptions based on new qualitative and ethnographic evidence emerging out of Johannesburg. Dated concepts in Critical Urban Studies are re-evaluated and the book calls for an alternative, adaptable approach, focusing on how we develop a vocabulary and creative understanding of urban regeneration. This book is an outstanding contribution to theoretical and comparative approaches to understanding cities and processes of urban change. It offers practical insights and experiences which will be of considerable use to practitioTable of Contents1. Thinking with and through Johannesburg 2. An overburdened process: the competing agendas, imperatives and outcomes of inner-city regeneration 3. The contradictory praxis of regeneration 4. Urban management and security: private policing, atmospheres of control and everyday practices 5. Ambiguous experiences of regeneration: spatial capital, agency and living in-between 6. The space that regeneration makes: regulation, security and everyday life 7. Conclusion: towards a vernacular theorisation of urban change
