Postindustrial East Asian Cities : Innovation for Growth
ISBN: 9780821356227 / Angielski / Miękka / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Throughout East Asia, the growth process and its sources are changing in a number of important respects, especially for middle- and high-income economies. Grwoth is increasingly coming from the strength of innovative activities in these economies rather than from factor accumulation as in the past. Such innovative activities are concentrated in high-tech clusters in globally linked cities. Drawing on a wide range of literature and on interviews of firms, this book explores these issues with a focus on six East Asian cities: Bangkok, Beijing, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, and Tokyo. It suggests...

Facets of Globalization: International and Local Dimensions of Development
ISBN: 9780821347423 / Angielski / Miękka / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since 1985, national economies have become increasingly integrated into a global network. At the same time, both population and production in developing countries are becoming concentrated in urban regions. This, in turn, has generated demands for more local autonomy, shifting more decision making to sub-national levels. Globalization is expected to continue leading to greater openness and international mobility of capital and people. There are few reasons to believe that these trends will abate if anything, they are likely to intensify the focus on cities and sharpen competition among these...

Climate Change, Disaster Risk, and the Urban Poor: Cities Building Resilience for a Changing World
ISBN: 9780821388457 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Poor people living in slums are at particularly high risk from the impacts of climate change and natural hazards. They live on the most vulnerable lands within cities, typically areas that are deemed undesirable by others and are thus affordable. Residents are exposed to the impacts of landslides, sea-level rise, flooding, and other hazards. Exposure to risk is exacerbated by overcrowded living conditions, lack of adequate infrastructure and services, unsafe housing, inadequate nutrition, and poor health. These conditions can turn a natural hazard or change in climate into a disaster, and...

However, understanding the pace, scale, and form of urbanization has been limited by a lack of consistent data.

Illustrated with maps and charts, it presents trends in urban expansion and population growth in more than 850 urban areas -- by country, urban area, income group, and city size categories.

Land Delivery Systems in West African Cities: The Example of Bamako, Mali
ISBN: 9781464804335 / Angielski / Miękka / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Urban and peri-urban land markets in rapidly expanding West African cities operate within and across different coexisting tenure regimes and involve complex procedures to obtain or make land available for housing.

The framework revolves around the description of land delivery channels: starting from the status of tenure when the land is first placed in circulation for residential use, it identifies the processes whereby tenure can be...

This open access book offers a multidisciplinary and comprehensive perspective regarding the immediate and long-term effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on coworking spaces in the European Region. The current pandemic has imposed several effects on work and spaces for work.

Although the literature on coworking spaces and the effects...

Minorities in all communities strive to keep their communities strong and support the businesses that are owned and operated in their communities.

The Evolution of Great World Cities: Urban Wealth and Economic Growth
ISBN: 9781442611528 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Some cities seem destined to become major financial capitals, yet never do--Seville, for instance, was the centre of Spain's opulent New World Empire, but failed to become a financial metropolis. Others, like former colonial backwater Hong Kong, defy the odds by growing into major trading centres. What are the key factors distinguishing those cities that become wealthy from those that don't? Christopher Kennedy illuminates how geography, technology, and especially the infrastructure of urban economies allow cities to develop and thrive.
