Taipei's quest to become a global city is the key to its urban development. Globalizing Taipei looks at this ""Asian Dragon"", a major city in the South China Growth Triangle and a centre for transnational production, revealing how the development of this capital has received firm state support but is conditioned by international and domestic politics.The book is divided into four parts: economic and spatial restructuring, state and society realignment, social differentiation and cultural reorientation. Each analyzes the interaction of international, state and local politic

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.

Right in the heart of Graz, the second largest city in Austria, an entire city district had simply fallen into oblivion. Now, the industrial park of the former Reininghaus Brewery has been rediscovered. The new owners have taken up the search for answers: How, in future, do we wish to work and live? In his foreword, Clifford Pearson deputy editor of the Architectural record, writes: ""I don???t know what Reininghaus will be like when people start moving there. I have no idea if it will be a model that other developers or community builders will want to follow. But I am impressed with the way i
