Taylor & Francis Ltd Modernising Postwar France
Book SynopsisThis book is about the role played by architects, engineers and planners in transforming France during the three post-war decades of growing prosperity, a period when modernisation was a central priority of the state, promising a way forward from the shame of defeat in 1940 to a place at the centre of the new Europe.The first part of the book examines the scale of transformation, showing how architecture and urbanism both served the cause of modernisation and shaped the identity of the new France. Mainstream modernism was co-opted to the service of the state, from major public buildings to Gaullist plans for the transformation of Paris to establish the city as the âcapitalâ of Europe.By contrast, the second part of the book explores the critique of state-sponsored modernisation by radical architects from Le Corbusier to the young Turks of the 1960s such as Georges Candilis and the students who attacked the banality of mainstream modernism and its inability to address the growing problems of Franceâs cities. Following May 1968, the Beaux-Arts was closed, the Grand Prix de Rome, symbol of the old order, abolished â for a while the establishment might continue as before, but progressive architecture was set on a new course.Beautifully illustrated and written to be accessible to all, the book sets the discussion of architecture and urbanism in its social, political and economic contexts. As such, it will appeal both to students and scholars of the history of architecture and urbanism and to those with a wider interest in Franceâs post-war history.Trade ReviewThis is a fascinating story, very well told. It dives into great detail on some aspects, like the determined efforts to bring in modern construction methods, or the evolving shape of architects’ education, but not in a way that breaks up the narrative, and the treatment of housing and planning choices in Paris and its region is crystal-clear. It’s clearly based on a huge amount of reading and research…knocked into a compelling story of a state and a profession grappling with vital social issues, in ways that sometimes recall British struggles, and sometimes look culturally very different….this is a masterful review of a fascinating period in the development history of our endlessly-interesting neighbour, full of insights into the professions and culture that shaped an era.Martin Crookston, Built Environment Vol 49 No 2Table of ContentsPreface Abbreviations Introduction: Architecture, Urbanism and the Trente Glorieuses Part 1: Modernisation Takes Command: From Austerity to Affluence 1.

Taylor & Francis Housing Policy in the United States
Book SynopsisThe fourth edition of Housing Policy in the United States refreshes its classic, foundational coverage of the field with new data, analysis, and comparative focus. This landmark volume offers a broad overview that synthesizes a wide range of material to highlight the significant problems, concepts, programs and debates that all defi ne the aims, challenges, and milestones within and involving housing policy. Expanded discussion in this edition centers on state and local activity to produce and preserve affordable housing, the impact and the implications of reduced fi nancial incentives for homeowners.Other features of this new edition include:â Analysis of the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on housing- related taxexpenditures;â Review of the state of fair housing programs in the wake of the Trump Administrationâs rollbackof several key programs and policies;â Cross- examination of U.S. housing policy and conditionsTrade ReviewMy copy of an earlier edition of Alex Schwartz’s Housing Policy in the United States is dog-eared, creased, and underlined, proof that I’ve returned to that text again and again over the years. Now updated and expanded—including with international comparisons—this is the go-to book for anyone who wants to understand the nature and consequences of housing policy in the United States. Matthew Desmond, Maurice P. During Professor of Sociology, Princeton University, Author of EvictedAlex Schwartz’s book is, hands-down, the best single resource on U.S. housing policy. It’s a perfect introduction for those just coming to the field as well as a terrific reference for those who need to brush up on details or statistics about particular programs and policies. Clearly written and comprehensive, it is the rare book that is useful for both scholars and practitioners. Ingrid Gould Ellen, Paulette Goddard Professor of Urban Policy and Planning and Faculty Director, NYU Furman Center, New York UniversityAlex Schwartz has done it again with the fourth edition of what has come to be the go-to housing policy text in the U.S. It’s amazing that he is able to update loads of existing material and then continue to add newly relevant sections. I’m thrilled with the new chapter on comparative international housing policy. I can’t wait to add it to my own housing policy course.Dan Immergluck, Professor, Urban Studies Institute, Georgia State UniversityThe fourth edition of Alex Schwartz’s book covers the full range of federal housing policies for renters, owners, and special needs populations. The book remains accessible to all readers, from the layman to the seasoned housing policy expert. Finally, the book is well substantiated with many extremely helpful tables and figures that assist the reader in understanding the many insights offered in the text.Kirk McClure, Professor, Urban Planning, University of KansasAlex Schwartz has done a great service to the housing field with his 4th edition of Housing Policy in the United States. He has crafted an indispensable resource for understanding why housing matters in all its dimensions. Most of what you need to know about housing is in this book. Sandra Newman, Professor of Policy Studies, Johns Hopkins UniversityThis time Alex Schwartz goes global with the most comprehensive and a most readable examination of US housing policy in its international context up to and including the impact of Covid-19 and beyond. Gregory D. Squires, Professor of Sociology and Public Policy & Public Administration, George Washington UniversityThis latest edition remains the single best place to find up-to-date answers to nearly all questions about American housing policy. More than a clear technical guide, it shows how these policies are cultural and political products, now viewed in helpful international comparison. Lawrence J. Vale, Associate Dean, School of Architecture and Planning, Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyThis is a definitive text for understanding the history and functioning of housing policy. The new comparative international chapter is especially insightful and useful. Comprehensive and up-to-date, this book is a most valuable resource for practitioners, policy makers and all who wish to be informed about US housing policy.Susan Wachter, Professor of Real Estate and Finance, The Wharton School, University of PennsylvaniaTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Food Provisions for Ancient Rome
Book SynopsisThis book defines the processes used for delivering a range of food items to the city of Rome and its hinterland from the first century AD using modern supply chain modelling techniques. The subject matter delves into the wider supply of goods, such as wood and building products, to add further perspective to the breadth of the system managed by the Roman administration to ensure supply and political stability. It assesses the impact of strategic changes such as the introduction of water-powered milling technology and restructuring of the annona in this period, as well as administrative reforms. Evidence from ancient sources, both literary and epigraphic, along with relevant archaeological comparative evidence is used to develop a detailed supply model, including the mapping of warehouse management systems; port and river traffic co-ordination; quality control mechanisms and administrative structures. Unlike other contemporary studies, this model takes into consideratiTable of Contents1. Introduction 2. Supply Chain Management 3. The Model – Products, Area of Supply, Population, and Diet 4.
