Open Borders and International Migration Policy: The Effects of Unrestricted Immigration in the United States, France, and Ireland
ISBN: 9781137513915 / Angielski / Twarda / 156 str. Although philosophers debate the morality of open borders, few social scientists have explored what would happen if immigration were no longer limited. This book looks at three examples of temporarily unrestricted migration in Miami, Marseille, and Dublin and finds that the effects were much less catastrophic than opponents of immigration claim.

ISBN: 9780394729114 / Angielski / Miękka / 257 str. In this eye-opening work of economic theory, Jane Jacobs argues that it is cities not nations that are the drivers of wealth.

Bangkok: Place, Practice and Representation
ISBN: 9780415188548 / Angielski / Miękka / 376 str. Bangkok is one of Asia's most interesting, varied, controversial and challenging cities.

Strategic Planning for Regional Development in the UK: A Review of Principles and Practices
ISBN: 9780415349383 / Angielski / Miękka / 358 str. The book brings together, in a single source, a coherent set of quality writings in the field of strategic regional planning. It aims to fulfill a need generated by a renewed emphasis in the UK on strategic regional planning enshrined in new style spatial strategies through recent legislation, including the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Bill (soon to become an Act). This legislation places upon regional bodies demands that they are currently poorly equipped to fulfill through lack of personnel experienced and trained in planning at this scale.
In five parts the book looks at the... The book brings together, in a single source, a coherent set of quality writings in the field of strategic regional planning. It aims to fulfill a nee...

Governing from Below: Urban Regions and the Global Economy
ISBN: 9780521657075 / Angielski / Miękka / 422 str. Cities play a growing role in governing. This new role fits within a context that nation-states, global market forces and cities themselves continue to define. The analysis of this book focuses on how local efforts in the distinct European systems of France and Germany as well as American counterparts have provided for environmental quality and social inclusion alongside local economic development. Only in certain European settings has policy making at multiple levels accomplished all three objectives at once. In those settings, effective governance from below has relied on adequate support...

Post-Industrial East Asian Cities: Innovation for Growth
ISBN: 9780804756723 / Angielski / Twarda / 368 str. Throughout East Asia, the growth process and its sources are changing in a number of important respects, especially for middle- and high-income economies. Growth is increasingly coming from the strength of innovative activities in these economies rather than from factor accumulation as in the past. Such innovative activities--especially in producer services and the creative industries--are concentrated in high-tech clusters in globally linked cities. Drawing on a wide range of literature and on interviews with firms, this book explores these issues with a focus on six East Asian cities:...

ISBN: 9780815774099 / Angielski / Miękka / 395 str. Poor people spend their money living day to day. How can they accumulate wealth? In the United States, homeownership is often the answer.

However. thanks in large part to the growth of global capital markets and greater use of "credit scores," not all homeowners have benefited equally from the opened spigots. Different terms and conditions mean that some applicants are overpaying for mortgage credit, while... Poor people spend their money living day to day. How can they accumulate wealth?

ISBN: 9781844070510 / Angielski / Miękka / 254 str. Sustainability assessment is now emerging as a more transparent, comprehensive, integrated and far-sighted approach to decision making.

As well, they need appropriately designed public processes; guidance on the weighing of alternatives, trade-offs and compromises; a supportive policy framework; suitable tools and inspiring examples. Drawing from...
