University of Hawai'i Press Villages in the City A Guide to South Chinas
Book SynopsisCountless Chinese villages have been engulfed by modern cities. They no longer consist of picturesque farms and feng shui groves, but of high-rise buildings so close to each other that they create dark claustrophobic alleys - jammed with dripping air-conditioners, hanging clothes, caged balconies and bundles of buzzing electric wires, and crowned with a small strip of daylight, known as thin line sky. At times, buildings stand so close to another they are dubbed kissing buildings or handshake houses - you can literally reach out from one building and shake hands with your neighbor. Although it is easy to see these villages as slums, a closer look reveals that they provide an important, affordable, and well-located entry point for migrants into the city. They also offer a vital mixed-use, spatially diverse and pedestrian alternative to the prevailing car-oriented modernist-planning paradigm in China. Yet, most of these villages are on the brink of destruction, affecting the homes of m

University of Hawai'i Press Citizen Designs CityMaking and Democracy in
Book SynopsisWhat does it mean to design democratic cities and democratic citizens in a time of mass urbanization and volatile political transformation? Citizen Designsaddresses this question by exploring the ways that democratic urban planning projects intersect with emerging political aspirations among squatters living in the Thai city of Khon Kaen.Trade ReviewCitizen Designs is a fascinating and detailed ethnographic account of the citizenship struggles and political engagements of residents living alongside the main state railway running through the city of Kohn Kaen, in the Isan region of Northeast Thailand. While most scholarship on urban evictions and dispossession tends to portray land struggles as a kind of Manichean battle between good (the residents) and evil (the dispossessors), Elinoff shows how every group of people itself contains multiple sub-groups, all coming at the matter with different agendas, ideas, political sympathies." - Erik Harms, Yale University

CABI Publishing Urban Aquaculture
Book SynopsisFishery products are the world's most important source of animal protein, especially for the poor. Meeting the basic human needs for protein foods in the future will be a difficult challenge, especially as demand for fish has doubled since the 1950s. Realistically we can not expect to catch more food from the sea, so we must now turn to farming the waters, not just hunting them. The new challenge for planners is to accelerate aquaculture development and to plan for new production. As millions of people are moving from rural, inland areas to coastal cities we need to make urban areas not only centres of marketing and distribution, but also of production, particularly using recycled urban wastewater. This book on urban aquaculture includes papers from authors in the USA, Europe and Asia that review these emerging issues from the perspective of both developed and developing countries.Table of Contents1: A Future Urban Ecosystem Incorporating Urban Aquaculture for Wastewater Treatment and Food Production, B Costa-Pierce and A Desbonnet 2: Viewing Urban Aquaculture as an Agroindustry, G Lutz, Louisiana State University, USA The Evolution of Urban Aquaculture in Asia 3: Opportunities and Constraints to Urban Aquaculture, with a Focus on South and Southeast Asia, D C Little and S W Bunting, University of Stirling, UK 4: Development Status of Prospects for Wastewater-fed Aquaculture in Urban Environments,P Edwards 5: Peri-Urban Aquaculture and Poor Livelihoods in Kolkata, India, S W Bunting, N Kundu and M Mukherjee, Government of West Bengal, India 6: Wastewater-based Urban Aquaculture systems in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, P Van Minh, Asian Institute of Technology, Vietnam, and N De Pauw, Ghent University, Belgium 7: Wastewater Reuse Through Urban Aquaculture in Hanoi, Vietnam: Status and Prospects, V Quy Hoan, Hanoi Agricultural University, Vietnam, and P Edwards The Evolution of Urban Aquaculture in Europe and North America 8: The Emergence of Urban Aquaculture in Europe, S W Bunting and D C Little 9: Competitive Potential for USA Urban Aquaculture Products, M B Timmons, Cornell University, USA 10: Commercially Feasible Urban Recirculating Aquaculture: Addressing the Marine Sector, Y Zohar, Y Tal, H Schreier, C Steven, J Stubblefield and A Place, University of Maryland, USA 11: Shrimp Culture In Urban, Superintensive Closed Systems, C Browdy, Marine Resources Institute, Charleston, USA, and S Moss, The Oceanic Institute, USA 12: Aquaculture of the Florida Bay Scallop, Argopecten irradians concentricus, in Tampa Bay Florida (USA): An Urban Estuary, N Blake, University of South Florida, USA 13: Four Years of Recirculating Aquaculture In Boston Harbor, USA, C A Goudey and B M Moran, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA The Progress and Potentials of Urban Aquaculture Education 14: Urban Aquaculture in Brooklyn, New York, USA, M P Schreibman and C B Zarnoch, Brooklyn College, CUNY, USA 15: Growing A Future Crop of Aquaculturists: Creating An Urban Aquaculture Education Program in Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA, J J Roy, The Sound School, New Haven, USA 16: Science in Action: Tools for Teaching Urban Aquaculture Concepts, J A Frederick, Center of Marine Biotechnology, Baltimore, USA 17: Urban Aquaculture: A Necessary Reality, J K Buttner, Salem State College, USA 18: Ecolobelling and Urban Aquaculture, C A Roheim, University of Rhode Island, USA Synthesis 19: Aquaculture in Future Urban Ecosystems, A Desbonnet and B Costa-Pierce

Their work speaks to the crucial challenges, tied to systemic inequality, that we confront, while also reminding us of the diverse forms that legal geography takes. It insists that legal geography is needed now, more than ever.' -- from the Foreword by Nicholas Blomley'Legal geography has much promise in deepening our understanding of the linkages between societies, their governance, and the world we live in. The Handbook on Space, Place and Law offers not only a major consolidation of the field, but a significant extension. Bartel, Carter and colleagues scope widely across socio-legal contexts, policy sectors and environments, and offer deep insights of great value to geographers and lawyers alike, and indeed to anyone concerned with the conditions of people and their environments.' -- Stephen Dovers, Australian National UniversityTable of ContentsContents: Foreword: What is legal geography?

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Research Handbook on International Law and Cities
Book SynopsisThis groundbreaking Research Handbook provides a comprehensive analysis and assessment of the impact of international law on cities. It sheds light on the growing global role of cities and makes the case for a renewed understanding of international law in the light of the urban turn.Trade ReviewAwarded the 2022 ESIL Collaborative Book Prize'Research Handbooks tend to be just that – a book for reading selected contents one is interested in. Not this Handbook – it is fascinating from the beginning to end. Research Handbook of International Law and Cities, edited by Helmut Philip Aust and Janne E. Nijman, is an innovative collaborative work because it draws light at the growing importance of cities in international legal frameworks. Traditionally, cities have had relatively little to do with international law as the law of nations was constructed around the nation state and its sovereignty. The book invites us to rethink this proposition as it demonstrates how cities have become active in areas traditionally thought to be relating to international law. It thus raises awareness of a blind spot in international law, filling a research gap – adding more actors to the multiplicity of actors relevant in international law. […]‘This is an essential read for all of those studying or working at the intersection of International Relations and urban policy. The volume is a treasure trove of legal and international nuance critical to unpack the challenges that confront the internationalization of cities in the multilateral arena.’ -- Michele Acuto, International Affairs‘I would commend this book to all lawyers practising in the field of public international law and to students of the subject. It is a useful and innovating reference book and contributes to a better understanding of the role of cities in various fields of international law.’ -- Stephen D Sutton, The Law Society Gazette'Aust and Nijman's Research Handbook on International Law and Cities captures the complexity, and the controversy, of the relationship between cities and international law in all its splendour. This is a skilfully designed and executed - and coherent - work from the leading legal scholars in the field. The reader is led through the history, structure and many of the current issues in what is an increasingly well-established field, both academically and in practice. There will be many more thematic avenues to explore but the principles and the path are set out here. This book will become a dear friend for many historians, political scientists and lawyers, to name but a few.' -- Robert Lewis-Lettington, UN-Habitat'Walter Benjamin - foremost among writers on cities - once observed (to paraphrase) that crafting a good piece of writing entails making, at once, a musical composition, an architectural construction, and a woven textile. The Research Handbook on International Law and Cities that Helmut Aust and Janne Nijman have assembled, working with Miha Marcenko and a superb array of contributors, succeeds in all these ways. Combining historical, conceptual, practical and critical takes on the role of cities in global phenomena, and on various manifestations of the global in the urban, it sounds provocative notes for future work. Its construction is at once magisterial and replete with intriguing openings. Its fabric is rich in theoretical and empirical threads of value to international law and cognate disciplines. As one sometimes does in a city, I lost myself in its pages, in the most pleasurable way. Regardless of their disciplinary or geographic starting point, all those who read it - or should I say, visit this volume’s many cities - are sure to emerge newly informed and inspired.' -- Fleur Johns, UNSW Sydney, Australia'This Research Handbook offers a rich array of insightful analyses about the way that international law is being shaped, interpreted, and implemented by cities. After exploring historical antecedents, the volume dives into structural aspects of cities within international law, before tackling the role of cities in reshaping particular subject matter areas, such as climate change, human rights and refugees. For those captivated by States and international organizations as the only actors that count, this volume will change your mind.' -- Sean D. Murphy, George Washington University, US and Member, U.N.

This book, just one of Short’s latest greatest hits, is a journey through, for example, the urban imaginary of the Weimar Bauhaus project, the resilience of informal communities in different cities, the perils of traffic and, in contrast, the joy of walking the city.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd A Research Agenda for Heritage Planning
Book SynopsisTrade Review‘A Research Agenda for Heritage Planning: Perspectives from Europe the book by Eva Stegmeijer and Loes Veldpaus brings new dialogues and bridges the dichotomy of an “east” and “west” understanding of heritage that has been taken for granted as two different dichotomies. This book offers an insight on how the western world itself is also not homogenous in the understanding of what heritage is and heritage is not always tangible in the “west”. This book shows readers that there is no universal European understanding of heritage and planning. Only in specific divisions of European countries and mostly in urban contexts does so-called European heritage understanding dominate the discourse and planning. This book aims to not only elaborate on heritage planning and research in Europe, but also push beyond a Eurocentric approach, and examine the research this approach produces and the foundation on which it is developed, as well as give funding to the projects and people who work in this field.’ -- Cut Dewi, Built Heritage‘A Research Agenda for Heritage Planning offers an ambitious reflection on the complex articulation of research, practice and policy that inform the uses of heritage in Europe today.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Handbook on Cities and Complexity
Book SynopsisWritten by some of the founders of complexity theory and complexity theories of cities (CTC), this Handbook expertly guides the reader through over forty years of intertwined developments: the emergence of general theories of complex self-organized systems and the consequent emergence of CTC.Trade Review'This is a fascinating collection of discussions by leading authors, ranging from philosophical perspectives to conceptual frameworks and mathematical models across many disciplines. A unifying theme is the role of human cognition and decision making, addressed via psychology, uncertainty and risk, evolutionary game theory, behavioral economics and more. The book should be a reference to anyone interested in the history of the field and as a source of ideas for the opportunities (and challenges) of treating cities as complex systems in contrast to less holistic approaches to urban planning and policy.' -- Luis Bettencourt, University of Chicago, USTable of ContentsContents: Introduction to the Handbook on Cities and Complexity 1 Juval Portugali PART I FOUNDATIONS 1 Cities, complexity and beyond 13 Juval Portugali 2 The emergence of complexity theories: an outline 28 Hermann Haken 3 City systems and complexity 48 Michael Batty 4 Major transitions in the story of urban complexity 64 Stephen Marshall and Nick Green PART II COMPLEXITY THEORIES OF CITIES 5 Complexity: the evolution and planning of towns and cities 86 Peter M.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Transportation and Power Grid in Smart Cities
Book SynopsisWith the increasing worldwide trend in population migration into urban centers, we are beginning to see the emergence of the kinds of mega-cities which were once the stuff of science fiction. It is clear to most urban planners and developers that accommodating the needs of the tens of millions of inhabitants of those megalopolises in an orderly and uninterrupted manner will require the seamless integration of and real-time monitoring and response services for public utilities and transportation systems. Part speculative look into the future of the world's urban centers, part technical blueprint, this visionary book helps lay the groundwork for the communication networks and services on which tomorrow's smart cities will run. Written by a uniquely well-qualified author team, this book provides detailed insights into the technical requirements for the wireless sensor and actuator networks required to make smart cities a reality.Table of ContentsList of Contributors xxi Preface xxvii SECTION I Communication Technologies for Smart Cities 1 1 Energy-Harvesting Cognitive Radios in Smart Cities 3Mustafa Ozger, Oktay Cetinkaya and Ozgur B.

John Wiley & Sons Inc The Urban Question in Africa
Book SynopsisIlluminates the path to more generative urban transitions in Africa''s cities and developing rural areas Africa is the world''s most rapidly urbanizing region. The predominantly rural continent is currently undergoing an urban revolution unlike any other, generally taking place without industrialization and often characterized by polarization, poverty, and fragmentation. While many cities have experienced construction booms and real estate speculation, others are marked by expanding informal economies and imploding infrastructures. The Urban Question in Africa: Uneven Geographies of Transition examines the imbalanced and contested nature of the ongoing urban transition of Africa.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Translating the City
Book SynopsisThe city is a highly fragmented, heterogeneous subject; those who study, analyze and question it make a use of a variety of disciplines and methods and have different areas of expertise. How is a dialogue built between heterogeneous urban contexts and urban researchers, architects, developers, anthropologists, sociologists and political scientists? What capacity do concepts and methods have to travel from one context to another? How can they be transferred?The strength of Urban Translations lies in its disciplinary and geographical comparison and dialogue on a global scale. It openly targets an international audience, bringing together leading researchers from a variety of disciplines (urban planning, sociology, architecture and anthropology) and presenting case studies from highly contrasting urban settings, including Rio de Janeiro, Mumbai, Cape Town, Dubai, Montreal, Geneva, Lisbon, Ljubljana and Berlin.Table of Contents1.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Badlands of the Republic
Book SynopsisThe relationship between space and politics is explored through a study of French urban policy. Drawing upon the political thought of Jacques Rancière, this book proposes a new agenda for analyses of urban policy, and provides the first comprehensive account of French urban policy in English. Essential resource for contextualizing and understanding the revolts occurring in the French ''badland'' neighbourhoods in autumn 2005 Challenges overarching generalizations about urban policy and contributes new research data to the wider body of urban policy literature Identifies a strong urban and spatial dimension within the shift towards more nationalistic and authoritarian policy governing French citizenship and immigration Trade Review“This is a knowledgeable, intelligent, and highly readable account of an issue that has featured prominently in French politics and public policy during the last quarter of a century.” (Journal of Planning Education and Research, 8 September 2008) "It's a fine book. Doubly so, for not only does it meld theoretical deftness with convincing empirical information, it also has the virtue of taking us out of our English speaking milieu...Are you an inquisitive urban geographer? If so, having read Dikeç as your indispensable primer, next time you're in Paris leave the Eiffel Tower behind and go out to La Courneuve.

Get a taste of another, and real, urban France. Dikeç has." (Geographical Review, December 2010) "This brilliant empirical riff by Mustafa Dikeç on Ranciere's idea of the 'given' of governmental intervention as applied to the 'banlieue' of French cities shows how attempts to realize the ideal of 'the one and indivisible republic' through planning founder because French urban policy is also profoundly involved with making places that violate that very ideal." John Agnew, UCLA "This book is an extraordinary achievement. Hardly a year after the momentous revolts in the banlieues of France's big cities, Mustafa Dikeç offers not only a razor-sharp dissection of urban struggles, but, more importantly, demonstrates how the politics of space work in today's France and how a progressive urban politics can be reclaimed. A must read for all those interested in urban social movements and have not given up on the possibilities for a genuinely humanising urban politics."

Book SynopsisThe relationship between space and politics is explored through a study of French urban policy. Drawing upon the political thought of Jacques Rancière, this book proposes a new agenda for analyses of urban policy, and provides the first comprehensive account of French urban policy in English. Essential resource for contextualizing and understanding the revolts occurring in the French ''badland'' neighbourhoods in autumn 2005 Challenges overarching generalizations about urban policy and contributes new research data to the wider body of urban policy literature Identifies a strong urban and spatial dimension within the shift towards more nationalistic and authoritarian policy governing French citizenship and immigration Trade Review“This is a knowledgeable, intelligent, and highly readable account of an issue that has featured prominently in French politics and public policy during the last quarter of a century.” (Journal of Planning Education and Research, 8 September 2008) "It's a fine book. Doubly so, for not only does it meld theoretical deftness with convincing empirical information, it also has the virtue of taking us out of our English speaking milieu...Are you an inquisitive urban geographer? If so, having read Dikeç as your indispensable primer, next time you're in Paris leave the Eiffel Tower behind and go out to La Courneuve. Or in Strasbourg, view the cathedral but then board the Line C tram right next to it which takes you out to Le Neuhof, like La Courneuve one of the original sixteen social development urban neighborhoods. Get a taste of another, and real, urban France. Dikeç has." (Geographical Review, December 2010) "Dikec¸’s examination of French national policy development toward the suburban banlieues is tight and focused in its objectives and execution."
