The Way of Urbanizing China

The Way of Urbanizing China by Shilin Liu
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 307 Pages | ISBN : 9819954428 | 4.8 MB

The book conducts a comprehensive research study on China’s urbanization. It puts forward three theoretical development models of urban planning in China, i.e., the politics-oriented city, the economy-oriented city and the human-oriented cultural city. It makes objective evaluations of the development models of the politics-oriented city and the economy-oriented city. It suggests that relations between the government and the market should be straightened out to solve the hangovers of the development model of the politics-oriented city, and eco-civilization development and cultural development should be put on the top of the government’s agenda in order to cope with the recurring problems and complications brought about by the development model of the economy-oriented city.

The Working Method of Andrea Palladio: Palaces, Vicenza and the World

The Working Method of Andrea Palladio: Palaces, Vicenza and the World by Marco Marino
English | PDF (True) | 2023 | 134 Pages | ISBN : 3031432878 | 9 MB

This book shows through historical data, diagrams and drawings, the design system of an Italian historic center, that of Vicenza, Italy. Vicenza is the result of an urban construction process that has as its model the invention of the Palladian design system. The main argument is how the architectural vision of Andrea Palladio shaped Vincenza to the city it is today. Vicenza is an example of a collective dream, an expression of the best Renaissance artistic culture, a classic example that a city can reform itself through intellectual activity.

Closing the Urban-Rural Power Divide: Envisioning a United City-States of America

Closing the Urban-Rural Power Divide: Envisioning a United City-States of America

Closing the Urban-Rural Power Divide: Envisioning a United City-States of America by Thor Hogan
English | PDF (True) | 2023 | 257 Pages | ISBN : 3031340620 | 4.2 MB

This book proposes a radical reorganization of political and electoral power to address the current political imbalance between urban and rural populations in the United States. Hogan argues that, despite being smaller in population, a “financialist-ruralist coalition” has effectively used the Constitution—especially equal representation in the Senate—to create an anti-urban “vetocracy.” This political imbalance protects the interests of the financial elite and rural cultural conservatives, while effectively blocking urban interests, particularly regarding the adoption of a broad range of structural reforms and progressive policy preferences. By re-dividing many of the largest federated states into smaller city-states, the book posits, the United States would reduce the ability of non-urban interests to control the Senate. This would allow an empowered urbanite alliance to pass the forward-looking legislation the nation needs to remain internationally competitive in the coming decades.

Gridded Worlds: An Urban Anthology by Reuben Rose-Redwood, Liora Bigon
English | PDF | 2018 | 299 Pages | ISBN : 3319764896 | 5.8 MB

This book is the first edited collection to bring together classic and contemporary writings on the urban grid in a single volume. The contributions showcased in this book examine the spatial histories of the grid from multiple perspectives in a variety of urban contexts. They explore the grid as both an indigenous urban form and a colonial imposition, a symbol of Confucian ideals and a spatial manifestation of the Protestant ethic, a replicable model for real estate speculation within capitalist societies and a spatial framework for the design of socialist cities.

Von der Industriemetropole zur resilienten Stadt: Leipzig im regionalen und überregionalen Vergleich by Markus A. Denzel, Susanne Schötz, Veronique Töpel
Deutsch | EPUB(True) | 2022 | 270 Pages | ISBN : 3658373016 | 17.2 MB

Dieses Buch behandelt die Bedeutung von Resilienz für die Entwicklung von Städten und Regionen, insbesondere am Beispiel der mitteldeutschen Metropole Leipzig. Das Industriezentrum Leipzig machte nach einer gut 150-jährigen Blütezeit im Gefolge der Wiedervereinigung Deutschlands 1990 einen umfassenden Transformationsprozess durch, der ab 2002 in eine Re-Industrialisierung der Stadt und in einen bis dahin nicht mehr für vorstellbar gehaltenen wirtschaftlichen und demographischen Aufschwung mündete.

History and Regional Area Studies of Hachioji: Tokyo's Western Frontier

History and Regional Area Studies of Hachioji: Tokyo's Western Frontier by Tai Wei Lim
English | EPUB | 2022 | 117 Pages | ISBN : 9811661774 | 8.2 MB

This book looks at the case study of Hachioji as a major transit hub with a world-class public transportation system in Japan. It tracks how Tokyo slowly expands into its suburban, rural or sub-rural districts. It also wants to profile the multiple identities of a city that is simultaneously an ecological asset, a heritage locale in addition to a logistics hub. The volume is probably the first of its kind to analyze the western sector of the largest city in the world.

War Victims and the Right to a City: From Damascus to Zaatari by Hind Al-Shoubaki
English | EPUB | 2022 | 135 Pages | ISBN : 3031046005 | 56.1 MB

This book analyzes the role of integrated spatial planning in constructing eco-sustainable urban housing in post-conflict scenarios and investigates two different spaces in an emergency: Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan and Damascus city in Syria. The book presents a new innovative tool that assists in building a successful and sustainable reconstruction after emergencies which corresponds to the planning approach's heterogeneous nature within emergency situations. The same innovative theoretical framework also covers the ramifications of climate change on the urban built environment and reduces its sociological impact on the stricken communities.

A Cultural History of the 1984 Winter Olympics: The Making of Olympic Sarajevo by Zlatko Jovanovic
English | EPUB| 2021 | 272 Pages | ISBN : 3030765970 | 15.4 MB

"This impressive monograph captures Sarajevo's fleeting Olympic moment, when the city stood as a proud 'Oasis' in a divided Cold War world. Casting non-aligned, socialist Yugoslavia in the best possible light, a transformed Olympic Sarajevo revelled in its role as a bastion of peace and tolerance, and as a culturally, economically, and environmentally progressive cosmopolitan city. In conveying this rich history, Jovanović succeeds in challenging ingrained perceptions of the Cold War Olympics and of Yugoslavia's final decade."
—Richard Mills, author of The politics of Football in Yugoslavia.
