Urban Design in the Arab World: Reconceptualizing Boundaries
ISBN: 9781472409768 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Arab World is perceived to be a region rampant with constructed and ambiguous national identities, overwhelming wealth and poverty, religious diversity, and recently the Arab uprisings, a bottom-up revolution shaking the foundations of pre-established, long-standing hierarchies. It is also a region that has witnessed a remarkable level of transformation and development due to the accelerated pace imposed by post-war reconstruction, environmental degradation, and the competition among cities for world visibility and tourism. Accordingly, the Arab World is a prime territory for questioning...

Towns and Cities: Function in Form: Urban Structures, Economics and Society
ISBN: 9781472458551 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Challenging existing assumptions about how our towns and cities are structured and formed, Julian Hart provides an engaging and thought-provoking alternative theory of urban design. This is not urban design in the sense of the practice of design; rather it is a theory of the form of the town at all scales - why towns and cities happen to be structured the way they are as a result of the social, political, legal and (especially) economic forces that create them. The shape of the city at every scale, from the internal configuration of dwellings all the way up to the superstructure of the whole...

Diasporic Agencies: Mapping the City Otherwise
ISBN: 9781472433770 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Diasporic Agencies addresses the neglected subject of how architecture and urban design can respond to the consequences of increasing migration. Arguing that diasporic inhabitations can only be understood as the co-production of space, subjectivity and politics, the book explores questions of difference, belonging and movement in the city. Through focusing on a series of examples, it reveals how diasporas produce new types of spaces and develop new subjectivities in the contemporary European metropolis. It explores the way in which geo-politics affects individual lives and how national and...

New Suburbanism: Sustainable Tall Building Development
ISBN: 9781472438102 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Much of the anticipated future growth in the United States will take place in suburbia. The critical challenge is how to accommodate this growth in a sustainable and resilient manner. This book explores the role of suburban tall as a viable, sustainable alternative to continued suburban sprawl. It identifies 10 spatial patterns in which tall buildings have been integrated into the American suburbs. The study concludes that the Tall Building and Transit-Oriented-Development (TB-TOD) model is the most appropriate to promote sustainable suburbanism. The findings are based on analyzing over...

Urban Planning in Lusophone African Countries
ISBN: 9781472444875 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Urban planning on the five Lusophone African countries - Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and Sao Tome and PrA-ncipe - has so far been relatively overlooked in planning literature. Bringing together a team of leading scholars, this book fills the gap by providing an in-depth analysis of key issues in the history of urban planning and discussing the key challenges confronting contemporary urban planning in these countries. The book argues that urban planning is a non-neutral and non-value free kind of public action and, therefore, ideology, planning theories, urban models and the...

Urban Planning in North Africa
ISBN: 9781472444844 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. There has been relatively little written on the history of urban planning in North Africa, despite the wealth of towns and cities in this region which date back to Antiquity. The book explores the history of urban planning in North Africa and the challenges confronting contemporary urban planning in Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia. It examines the transnational flow of planning ideas during the colonial period, namely through the French, British, and Italian colonial presence, and the Portuguese and Spanish influences as well, and discusses key challenges currently confronting...

Mega-Event Cities: Urban Legacies of Global Sports Events
ISBN: 9781472440174 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 275 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Mega-events represent an important moment in the life of a city, providing a useful lens through which we may analyse their cultural, social, political and economic development. In the wake of the International Olympic Committee's (IOC's) concerns about 'gigantism' and wider public concerns about rising costs, it was imperative in the C21st to demonstrate the long term benefits that arose for the city and nations from hosting premier sporting events. 'London 2012' was the first to integrate the concept of legacy from the moment a bid to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games was being...

Spatial Cultures: Towards a New Social Morphology of Cities Past and Present
ISBN: 9781472450296 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What is the relationship between how cities work and what cities mean? Spatial Cultures: Towards a new social morphology of cities past and present announces an innovative research agenda for urban studies in which themes and methods from urban history, social theory and built environment research are brought into dialogue across disciplinary and chronological boundaries. The collection confronts the recurrent epistemological impasse that arises between research focussing on the description of material built environments and that which is concerned primarily with the people who inhabit,...
