Drawing Futures brings together international designers and artists for speculations in contemporary drawing for art and architecture. Despite numerous developments in technological manufacture and computational design that provide new grounds for designers, the act of drawing still plays a central role as a vehicle for speculation. There is a rich and long history of drawing tied to innovations in technology as well as to revolutions in our philosophical understanding of the world. Drawing Futures focuses on the discussion of how the field of drawing may expand synchronously alongside technological and computational developments. The book coincides with an international conference of the same name, taking place at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, in November 2016. Bringing together practitioners from many creative fields, the book discusses how drawing is changing in relation to new technologies for the production and dissemination of ideas.

Hong Kongs Grenze zu Shenzhen befindet sich in Auflösung: bis 2047 wird sie verschwunden sein. Mit der Integration in das Festland wird auch die Politik des „One-Country-Two-Systems" verschwinden, und Befürchtungen hinsichtlich Gesetz, Identität, Meinungsfreiheit und Wahlrecht evozieren. Von dieser Debatte betroffen ist auch die „Frontier Closed Area", ein seit 1951 abgeriegelter und unterentwickelter Grenzstreifen mit Flüssen, Fischfarmen, Wäldern, Dörfern und Militärposten, der direkt an die 15 Millionen Metropole Shenzhen grenzt. Das Buch untersucht das einmalige Ökosystem dieses Grenzlandes und entwirft Strategien zur Umgestaltung, die innovative Entwicklungen befördern sollen. Am Beispiel Hong Kongs wird ein Diskurs über Grenzen und deren Einfluss auf zeitgenössischen Städte eröffnet. Hong Kong’s border with Shenzhen is dissolving. By 2047, the border will likely not exist. Integration with the Mainland will remove distinctions created by the "One Country Two Systems" policy. The uncertainty surrounding what will happen has created anxiety relating to law, identity, freedom of speech, and voting rights. Caught in this debate is the Frontier Closed Area, a 1951 undeveloped buffer zone of estuaries, fish farms, forests, villages and military posts. In contrast, Shenzhen, has exploded into a metropolis of 15 million plus. The book explores this unique border ecology. Design strategies inserted within this ecology promote alternate forms of development. The example widens the discourse on borders to raise critical issues that impact the contemporary city.

This book reviews contemporary research on urban infrastructure in 76 Ethiopian cities. It examines urban infrastructure issues in these cities and covers a wide range of topics from sustainability and smart cities to research methods employed by urban infrastructure investigators with regard to Ethiopian cities. Research on urban infrastructure legitimacies and modalities has established its value worldwide in recent years, though it is still fairly young in the Ethiopian context. The first chapter outlines ongoing issues of debate concerning urban infrastructures, including but not limited to discourses on sustainability, smart cities, innovative financing methods, and potential partnerships. Urban infrastructure issues in Ethiopian cities are examined in the second chapter, while the third chapter presents a review of the most relevant literature for researchers. Findings show that the citations in the research reports are mainly from the materials available over the internet, including WHO, UN-Habitat and unpublished local materials. The fourth chapter identifies patterns in the findings and recommendations of the research reports discussed. The results reveal that there is a wider gap between supply and demand with regard to urban infrastructure in Ethiopian cities, a situation that is further aggravated because of the growing urban population and already existing backlogs. The fifth chapter reviews the essential methods employed by urban infrastructure investigators in Ethiopian cities. In this regard, the cross-sectional study method with the use of survey method has been broadly adopted among investigators. Lastly, the book presents a summary and recommendations. It was observed that the urban infrastructure boom in Ethiopia is primarily concentrated in the key cities, and the current pattern of urban infrastructure provision does not incorporate the notion of sustainability. Hence, the book calls for setting the agenda of future research on urban infrastructure and services in Ethiopian cities together with the universities, private sector and government, who should ideally collaborate to produce the knowledge needed to improve quality of life, welfare, productivity, and economic growth. .

Lorsqu'au tournant du xxe siècle, un anglais idéaliste lance l’idée de construire des villes nouvelles baptisées « cité-jardin », l’expérience remorque très rapidement des adeptes en France et en Allemagne. Ces réformateurs fondent des associations pour promouvoir le projet dans leur pays. Creuset d’expériences réformatrices puisant à diverses inspirations (de la protection de la nature à l’habitation économique), la cité-jardin a cristallisé de multiples formes d’échanges. Objet de débats et de controverses à l’intérieur du milieu réformateur, cette expérience d’aménagement urbain a impulsé la circulation des hommes et des représentations par-delà les frontières, inspiré des collaborations inédites entre les métiers et favorisé de nouvelles formes d’intervention publique sur l’espace urbain. La manière dont ces circulations ont participé de l’émergence du champ de l’urbanisme fonde l’interrogation de cet ouvrage. L’analyse suit la trajectoire de l’expérience des cités-jardins entre 1900 et le début des années vingt, en France et en Allemagne, deux pays qui par leurs rythmes d’urbanisation fortement décalés offrent un cadre intéressant à l’exploration des télescopages et des interactions au fondement de savoirs novateurs et de pratiques inédites. Le choix du cadre comparatif fonde par ailleurs le socle heuristique d’une recherche qui met en perspective la signification et la portée de l’action réformatrice dans des contextes politiques et sociaux contrastés.

Łódź– the third largest city in Poland – is undertaking several major projects that have the potential to significantly reinvigorate the economy. Following the collapse of its traditional manufacturing industries in the late 1990s, Łódź went through a period of economic decline. A series of infrastructure investments and new developments are presently transforming its city centre and increasing its transportation connectivity. Coherent land-use practices across the areas where people live and work will be critical for the city and its surrounding communities to develop in a socially, environmentally, and fiscally sustainable way. This case study of the governance of land use in Lodz illustrates many promising practices and offers guidance on how to make the governance structure and planning system more coherent and robust both in Lodz, and in Poland more generally. This is the first in a series of five case studies on the governance of land use, which will culminate in a synthesis report to be published in 2017.

Whilst there is extensive literature analysing the design and function of new buildings and places, the actual process through which development proposals are actually fashioned - through complex negotiation and deal making, involving many different stakeholders with different agendas - is largely undocumented. Conventional planning theory tends to assume a logical, rational and linear decision-making process, which bears little relationship to reality. This book aims to shed some light on that reality. The King's Cross scheme is one of the largest and most complex developments taking place in Britain today. The planning negotiations, which took six years, were probably some of the most exhaustive debates around a development ever. A report of over 600 pages of technical information was eventually presented to the committee, and after two evenings and ten hours of presentations and debate, the committee approved the scheme by just two votes. Drawing on first-hand interviews and full access to previously confidential material from primary sources, 'Planning, Politics and City-Making: A Case Study of King's Cross' is a fascinating insight into a rarely-told story.
