Abstract

How can agriculture contribute to the sustainable development of European cities? How can agriculture and horticulture create vital urban spaces that have new social and ecological qualities and are also economically viable? Urban Agriculture Europe is the first comprehensive, transdisciplinary publication about urban agriculture in Europe. Apart from well-known examples of urban food gardens in Western European metropolises, this volume also studies innovative forms of agriculture on the urban periphery, bringing in experiences in Eastern and Southern Europe. The contributions approach urban agriculture from the point of view of social science, the economy, agricultural ecology, and spatial planning and address the role of citizens, involved parties, and politics, as well as operational models and planning tools. Case studies from Barcelona, Dublin, Geneva, Milan, Sofia, Warsaw, and the Ruhr Metropolis allow a comparative view of European practice. Statements from involved parties and guidance for cities and regions round off the publication.

Abstract

The city and urban society is the sphere of Trancity. Trancity was founded by Simon Franke between 1982 and 1992. This book examines the ways in which urban dwellers, who used to be merely "clients" of development, are taking ownership of their neighborhood. Also analyzes this international trend through five case studies, focusing on Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Moscow, New York and Taipei, each of which discusses different dynamics and intensities of citizens' redevelopment processes.

Abstract

"Participate ! : portraits of cities and citizens in action" offers an introduction to the complex world of urban development, identity and participation. It explains how the self-understanding of cities is mirrored in their approach to urban development. The basis of the book is formed by portraits of six European cities: Berlin, Hamburg, Paris, Lyon, Amsterdam and Groningen.The book fills a gap as it provides general introductions to cities, a brief outline of the city?s planning system, a short historic introduction to the city's planning culture. With telling and outstanding examples of citizen participation this book offers important insights in both the intrinsic logic of the cities and the mechanisms ? Sometimes more inclusive, sometimes more exclusive- of participation. "Participate !" is one of the results of the R-link project, a unique cooperation of Dutch policy makers and scholars on participation and urban development. Of interest for urban planners, architects, city journalists and students and academics in the field of urban planning.

Abstract

At the intersection of architecture, art, public culture, and political theory, Socializing Architecture urges architects and urbanists to mobilize a new public imagination toward a more just and equitable urbanization. Drawn from decades of lived experience, Teddy Cruz and Fonna Forman engage the San Diego –Tijuana border region as a global laboratory to address the central challenges of urbanization today: deepening social and economic inequality, dramatic migratory shifts, explosive urban informality, climate disruption, the thickening of border walls, and the decline of public thinking. Following Spatializing Justice, Socializing Architecture is the second part of a two-volume monograph. It continues to build a compelling case for architects and urban designers to intervene in the contested space between public and private interests. Through analysis and diverse case studies, the authors demonstrate strategies for altering exclusionary urban policies and advancing instead a more equitable and convivial architecture.

Abstract

La forme et le futur des villes sont vus comme le résultat issu de décisions stratégiques financières, de préférences du consommateur et de réflexes culturels. Cette tendance s'accroit avec la montée du néolibéralisme et du néo-conservatisme dans notre société : les décisions fondamentales concernant l'environnement quotidien sont déterminées par les lois de l'offre et du marché. Peut-on encore avoir une politique urbaine démocratique dans un tel contexte ? Un projet urbain peut-il être conçu dans le cadre d'une politique collective et non uniquement en réponse à des marges de profit ? Le Bureau de théorie architecturale BAVO a réunit les contributions de divers intervenants (géographes, philosophes, sociologues, architectes ...) qui analysent la politique urbaine en l'associant à différents thèmes résurgents : violence, hédonisme, polarisation socioéconomique... Des pistes pour que la ville redevienne le pilote de décisions démocratiques au lieu de ratifier des statu quo sont proposées. In Urban Politics Now, the Rotterdam-based "architect philosophers" Gideon Boie and Matthias Pauwels--otherwise known as The BAVO Bureau for Architectural Theory--issue a challenge to sociologists, social geographers, philosophers, urban planners and architects, asking, "What ails contemporary urban politics?" Boie and Pauwels involve a few global heavy-hitters whose lengthy, hyphenated titles signal their engagement with multiple disciplines, like Slovenian-born philosopher, sociologist and cultural theorist Slavoj Zizek--who, a few years ago, wrote some Lacanian-style copy for an Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue to accompany Bruce Weber's mildly salacious photographs--and New York's Neil Smith, who trained as a geographer and now teaches urban, cultural and environmental anthropology at the CUNY Graduate Center. Having stated as part of their mission that, "It is only by conceiving architecture as a symptom that its potential to make a difference in society can be assessed and/or enhanced," BAVO asks here if democratic urban politics are possible in the contemporary climate--with neoliberals and neoconservatives on the rise, environmental concerns on everyone's mind and an eruption of increasingly heated cultural differences plaguing every city in the world. If the symptoms of such ills are violence, socioeconomic disparities and hedonistic consumerism, what are the cures? An ability to reconfigure familiar disciplines seems a good start.

Abstract

Petra Pferdmenges is one of Europe's practice research pioneers in the field of architecture and urban planning. Her work focuses on the complex and vulnerable neighbourhoods in Brussels, and constantly switches back and forth between bottom-up and top-down urban projects. Her strategy is to motivate the local people to take matters into their own hands and bring new life to their neighbourhood. This publication shows how Pferdmenges' practice came into being, like a sort of Bildungsroman: it starts with some examples of classic public space design and then shows how she became more of a curator, bringing together diverse parties and forces acting in the public space.
