Abstract

The last two decades have been an exciting and richly productive period for debate and academic research on the city. The SAGE Handbook of New Urban Studies offers comprehensive coverage of this modern re-thinking of urban theory, both gathering together the best of what has been achieved so far, and signalling the way to future theoretical insights and empirically grounded research.Featuring many of the top international names in the field, the handbook is divided into nine key sections:?SECTION 1: THE GLOBALIZED CITY?SECTION 2: URBAN ENTREPRENEURIALISM, BRANDING, GOVERNANCE?SECTION 3: MARGINALITY, RISK AND RESILIENCE?SECTION 4: SUBURBS AND SUBURBANIZATION: STRATIFICATION, SPRAWL, SUSTAINABILITY?SECTION 5: DISTINCTIVE AND VISIBLE CITIES?SECTION 6: CREATIVE CITIES?SECTION 7: URBANIZATION, URBANITY AND URBAN LIFESTYLES?SECTION 8: NEW DIRECTIONS IN URBAN THEORY?SECTION 9: URBAN FUTURES Bron: https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/the-sage-handbook-of-new-urban-studies/book228284

Abstract

This book surveys the development of the literacy of Polish burghers in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, revealing socio-economic and cultural processes that changed the life of Polish urban society. Polish urban literacy is examined according to the reception of Western European urban culture more generally. Town networks in medieval Poland are explained, and the literacy skills of the producers and users of the written word are discussed. Literacy skills differed greatly from one social group to another, it is shown, due to the variety of town dwellers (clerics and lay people, professionals of the written word, occasional users of writing, and illiterates). Other issues that are discussed include the cooperation between agents of lay and church literacy, the relationship between literacy and orality, and the difference between developing literacies in Latin and in the vernacular languages.

Abstract

In cities driven by economic gain there is not much space for those outside of established structures. Even if they gain a foothold, they are obliged to vacate it as soon as more profitable activities materialise. The history of Amsterdam's NDSM shipyard demonstrates the power of self-development and self-organisation. This book describes a development strategy that applies an alternative exploitation model for buildings through organising the creative and financial power of the users. As one of the initiators of the redevelopment of the NDSM shipyard, Eva de Klerk gives a personal account of organisational processes, successes and tribulations, and complex relations with authorities.

Abstract

Het stadschap is een belangrijk archiefstuk. De kronkels en vormen van straten en pleinen zijn getuigen en dikwijls even zo vele littekens van de geschiedenis van de stad. Gebouwen zijn getuigen van hun tijd, ook al is hun functie in de loop der tijden veranderd, ook al zijn zij inmiddels vele keren verbouwd en is de leesbaarheid van hun verhaal soms vervaagd.Het boek buigt zich over de archeologie van de toekomst of de recente metamorfosen van de stad, nieuwe architectuur, nieuwe gezichten, merkwaardige ingrepen, zowel positieve als van een kritische noot te voorziene ?ongelukjes?. Het gaat vooral over tastbare realisaties, met tussendoor ook al eens een (kwaad) woord over plannen en speculaties. Deze publicatie vormt een rijk geïllustreerde bijdrage met commentaren en bespiegelingen bij het veranderende stadschap, het stedelijke landschap, zoals het zich vandaag aan onze blik voordoet. Meteen laat ze zien hoe Brussel ook anders had gekund of nog kan.

Abstract

The housing projects built in Camden in the 1960s and 1970s when Sydney Cook was borough architect are widely regarded as the most important urban housing built in the UK in the past 100 years. The schemes - which included Alexandra Road, Branch Hill, Fleet Road, Highgate New Town and Maiden Lane - set out a model of street-based housing that continues to command interest and admiration from architects to this day. Cook recruited some of the brightest talent available in London at the time, including Neave Brown, Benson & Forsyth and Peter Tabori, and also commissioned up-and-coming practices such as Colquhoun & Miller, Edward Cullinan and Farrell Grimshaw. 00The Camden projects represented a new type of urban housing based on a return to streets with front doors. In place of tower blocks, the Camden architects showed how the required densities could be achieved without building high, creating a new kind of urbanism that integrated with, rather than broke from, its cultural and physical context.

Abstract

Urban History 101 teaches us that the built environment is not the product of invisible, uncontrollable market forces, but of human-made tools that could have been used differently (or not at all). The Arsenal of Exclusion & Inclusion is an encyclopedia of 202 tools--or what we call "weapons"--used by architects, planners, policy-makers, developers, real estate brokers, activists, and other urban actors in the United States use to restrict or increase access to urban space. The Arsenal of Exclusion & Inclusion inventories these weapons, examines how they have been used, and speculates about how they might be deployed (or retired) to make more open cities in which more people feel welcome in more spaces.The Arsenal of Exclusion & Inclusion includes minor, seemingly benign weapons like no loitering signs and bouncers, but also big, headline-grabbing things like eminent domaon and city-county consolidation. It includes policies like expulsive zoning and annexation, but also practices like blockbusting, institutions like neighborhood associations, and physical things like bombs and those armrests that park designers put on benches to make sure homeless people don't get too comfortable. It includes historical things that aren't talked about too much any more (e.g., ugly laws), things that seem historical but aren't (e.g., racial steering), and things that are brand new (e.g., aging improvement district).With contributions from over fifty of the best minds in architecture, urban planning, urban history, and geography, The Arsenal of Exclusion & Inclusion offers a wide-ranging view of the policies, institutions, and social practices that shape our cities. It can be read as a historical account of the making of the modern American city, a toolbox of best practices for creating better, more just spaces, or as an introduction to the process of city-making in The United States.
