With all levels of governments currently, and for the foreseeable future, under significant fiscal stress, any new transit funding mechanism is to be welcomed.

Through the study of prominent examples of these VC mechanisms from across the US, this...

ISBN: 9781138246775 / Angielski / Miękka / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As urban regions face the demand to decrease fossil fuel dependency, many cities in the developing world are undertaking initiatives designed to create a greener city by aiming for a more sustainable form of urban development and, to do so, they need to evaluate existing modes of transportation and patterns of land use. Focusing on Oslo, an early leader in urban environmental policy making and a European 'green city' award winner, it argues that this evaluation must adopt and integrate two approaches: firstly, as a process of ecological modernization based on a combination of transit,...

Travel, Space, Architecture defines a new theoretical territory in architectural and urban scholarship that frames the processes of spatial production through the notion of travel.

Travel and Transformation
ISBN: 9781138270176 / Angielski / Miękka / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Travel and tourism have a long association with the notion of transformation, both in terms of self and social collectives. What is surprising, however, is that this association has, on the whole, remained relatively underexplored and unchallenged, with little in the way of a corpus of academic literature surrounding these themes. Instead, much of the literature to date has focused upon describing and categorising tourism and travel experiences from a supply-side perspective, with travellers themselves defined in terms of their motivations and interests. While the tourism field can lay claim...

How to Build Houses and Save the Countryside
ISBN: 9781447339991 / Angielski / Miękka / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. England faces a housing crisis: a growing population requires a substantial investment in new housing, but house-building is a source of great controversy--in large part because it is seen as destroying irreplaceable swaths of countryside. In this provocative book Shaun Spiers offers a middle course, acknowledging both sides of the debate but building a strong case that government can forge a contract with civil society, one that trades the acceptance of the loss of some countryside for the promise of high-quality, affordable housing development in suitable locations.
