Cities in the Urban Age: A Dissent
ISBN: 9780226535388 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. We live in a self-proclaimed Urban Age, where we celebrate the city as the source of economic prosperity, a nurturer of social and cultural diversity, and a place primed for democracy. We proclaim the city as the fertile ground from which progress will arise. Without cities, we tell ourselves, human civilization would falter and decay. In Cities in the Urban Age, Robert A. Beauregard argues that this line of thinking is not only hyperbolic--it is too celebratory by half. For Beauregard, the city is a cauldron for four haunting contradictions. First, cities are equally defined by...

When America Became Suburban
ISBN: 9780816648856 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the decades after World War II, the United States became the most prosperous nation in the world and a superpower whose dominance was symbolized by the American suburbs. Spurred by the decline of its industrial cities and by mass suburbanization, people imagined a new national identity--one that emphasized consumerism, social mobility, and a suburban lifestyle. The urbanity of the city was lost. In When America Became Suburban, Robert A. Beauregard examines this historic intersection of urban decline, mass suburbanization, domestic prosperity, and U.S. global aspirations as it unfolded...

Planning Matter: Acting with Things
ISBN: 9780226297392 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. City and regional planners talk constantly about the things of the world--from highway interchanges and retention ponds to zoning documents and conference rooms--yet most seem to have a poor understanding of the materiality of the world in which they're immersed. Too often planners treat built forms, weather patterns, plants, animals, or regulatory technologies as passively awaiting commands rather than actively involved in the workings of cities and regions. In the ambitious and provocative Planning Matter, Robert A. Beauregard sets out to offer a new materialist perspective on...

This is a sweeping history of dominant representations of the American city in the 20th century, which introduces discourse analysis and an appreciation of the shaping power of representation into American urban studies.

Voices of Decline - The Postwar Fate of Us Cities
ISBN: 9781557864420 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. As World War II faded into the past, urban decline emerged as the dominant motif in the public debate over the fate of the once-mighty cities of many Western industrial nations. Freely crossing disciplinary boundaries, this book uses the words of those who witnessed the cities' distress to portray the postwar discourse on urban decline in the United States. That discourse reshaped the ambivalence Americans have towards their cities, probed the nature of their moral responsibilities, offered advice as to how they should respond, and most importantly, sited in the cities the contradictions of...

Planning for a Material World
ISBN: 9781138830677 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Today, urban scholars think of cities and regions as evolving through networks of human associations, technologies, and natural ecologies. This being the case, planners are faced with the task of navigating a profoundly material world. Planning with and for humans alone is unacceptable: in the unfolding of urban processes, non-human things cannot be ignored. This inclusive vision has consequences for how planners envision the connections among norms, technologies and life-worlds as well as how they design and implement their plans. The contributors to this volume utilize a... Today, urban scholars think of cities and regions as evolving through networks of human associations, technologies, and natural ecologies. This bei... |
