Taylor & Francis Ltd The City Critical Essays in Human Geography
Book SynopsisThe spread of urbanization has transformed the concept of the city, but the way urban planners, urban scientists and, above all, urban dwellers address it has also changed, probably even more so. The city is thus a new topic for geography, a discipline that has experienced an ambiguous relationship to cities in the past. What kind of geography is required in order to bring fresh insight to this renewed field? Drawing together a wide range of texts from philosophers, sociologists and economist as well as geographers and urban planners, this volume provides a theoretical framework within which this question can begin to be explored.Table of ContentsContents: Introduction: the city is back; Part 1 The City as a Concept: A City Is ...: Cities and signs, 1, 2, 5, Italo Calvino; The definition of the city, René Maunier; Urbanism as a way of life, Louis Wirth; The metropolis and mental life, Georg Simmel; Measuring urbanness, Jacques Lévy.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Renewing Urban Communities Environment
Book SynopsisIreland is now an urban society, and both parts of the island have experienced rapid urban-generated growth and new patterns of development in recent years. This inter-disciplinary book adopts an all-Ireland perspective to investigate the tension that exists between sustainable urban development values and rhetoric - such as increased densities, brown field development, the compact city and social inclusion - and the emerging geography of urban Ireland, influenced by consumer and lifestyle choices. The introduction provides an overview of the dynamics of urban change, particularly during the 1990s, and the experience of rapid economic growth. The following chapters are divided into two parts, considering sustainable urban environments, and sustainable communities. This book will appeal to students, academics, policy and decision-makers, given that it adopts both a qualitative and quantitative approach, and introduces a range of new empirical studies covering both physical and social Trade Review’...an excellent overview of the multi-faceted challenge of sustainable development...The book affords a welcome orientation to recent developments in Ireland North and South; it is empirically informative and conceptually evocative, likely to become a valuable resource for both science and policy in the coming years.’ Anne Buttimer, Former President, International Geographical Union ’This timely, well-researched and thought-provoking collection places our sustainable living and future at the heart of social science debates concerning the future of urban areas. The contributions recognize the inter-related problems associated with sustainable living and seek to debate solutions and policy developments that extend beyond any one particular discipline. The political, social, economic and environmental tasks now before us are laid bare and challenge us to understand the complexity of sustainable development.’ Mark Tewdwr-Jones, University College London, UK ’This book is a very useful contribution to the literature of urban sustainability...it provides an up-to-date and readable study of Irish experiences of urban sustainability.’ Geography ’I would recommend this book to any student of urban and planning policy who needs a good grounding in different facets of housing, transport, urban change and sustainable development in Ireland.’ European Journal of Housing Policy '... an excellent examination of one of the most interesting case-studies in Europe in the current effort to integrate regional spatial and planning policies.'
