Urban Planning and Cultural Inclusion: Lessons from Belfast and Berlin
ISBN: 9780333793688 / Angielski / Twarda / 231 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cities divided by ethnic and cultural conflict need to identify, create and maintain some kind of shared identity amongst their inhabitants, if they wish to survive in competition with one another and not be submerged in tensions. Urban planning and city management can take these identities on board constructively and can assist them without allowing the city to deteriorate into a disconnected and hostile conglomeration. Belfast and Berlin are currently in the process of responding to this challenge: What will the implications be for town planners and how do they approach their task?

Third World in the First : Development and Indigenous Peoples
ISBN: 9780415055437 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The history of European colonization has been based upon the marginalization of first peoples. This legacy is most apparent in the outback of Australia and Canada, the remote areas which have harboured the Aboriginal, Indian and Inuit peoples. Modernization, the boom and bust model of state and private development, and the partial and biased aid provided by the state have eroded many communities and the holistic beliefs which underpin them. This book explores the past, present and future of these peoples, their treatment by the West and the strategies of development left open to them.
