International airports have become an inherent part of many urban regions and key transport infrastructures for metropolitan economies. Yet they are also a source of tensions, often associated with the contrasting impacts of their operation. Taking the example of Charles de Gaulle airport (CDG) in Paris, the author analyzes the factors influencing urban development and the related spatial strategies. Step by step, she traces the history of the airport, examines prominent conflicts and their management by planners, and derives broader lessons. Intended for town planners, policy makers, and urban designers, the book makes an important contribution to understanding the challenges and assessing the effectiveness of planning approaches for airport regions. Internationale Flughäfen sind ein fester Bestandteil vieler urbanen Regionen und wichtige Verkehrsinfrastrukturen für die urbane Ökonomie. Sie sind aber auch eine Quelle von Spannungen, die oft mit den gegensätzlichen Auswirkungen ihres Betriebs verbunden sind. Die Autorin analysiert am Beispiel des Flughafens Charles de Gaulle (CDG) in Paris Entwicklungsfaktoren und damit verbundene räumliche Strategien. Schritt für Schritt stellt sie die Geschichte des Flughafens dar, untersucht Konflikte und deren Bewältigung durch die Planer und leitet daraus weiterführende Lehren ab. Das Buch wendet sich an Stadtplaner, Kommunen und Architekten und leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Verständnis der Herausforderungen und zur Beurteilung der Wirksamkeit von Planungsansätzen für Flughafenregionen.

In Philadelphia Builds, architecture critic Michael J. Lewis explains why Philadelphia has produced so many extraordinary architects, including Louis Kahn, Frank Furness, and Robert Venturi. Lewis has written about the architecture of his native city for over three decades, and Philadelphia Builds brings together twenty-two of his best essays--including one about Kahn's little-known project to design a memorial for Vladimir Lenin and another which is the first substantial profile of Willis G. Hale, cult hero of Philadelphia hipsters. Other essays treat William Penn's plan for his new Quaker city, the fierce competitions that gave the city its greatest civic monuments, and also contemporary buildings such as the Barnes Foundation. Richly illustrated with drawings and photographs throughout, Philadelphia Builds is an engaging account of the people and forces that shaped the city from the 1700s to the present day. Includes 120 b/w photographs and images.
