All diesen Bereichensoll Abhilfe geschaffen werden mittels einer großen Idee: Smarte Städte. Welche Innovationen gehen daraus hervor und wie wirksam sind sie schon heute?Wie sieht unser Leben in der Zukunft aus? Um diese Fragen dreht sich diese Arbeit. Dazu werden einerseits theoretische Diskussionen betrachtet und andererseits ein Anwendungsbeispiel analysiert. Am Ende geht daraus ein Überblick hervor: Was bedeutet es für eine Stadt smart zu sein und welchen Nutzen bringt uns das?

WINNER OF THE 2022 WRITERS' TRUST BALSILLIE PRIZE FOR PUBLIC POLICYIs the smart city the utopia weve been waiting for?The promise of the so-called smart city has been at the forefront of urban planning and development since the early 2010s, and the tech industry that supplies smart city software and hardware is now worth hundreds of billions a year.But the ideas and approaches underpinning smart city tech raise tough and important questions about the future of urban communities, surveillance, automation, and public participation. The smart city era, moreover, belongs firmly in a longer historical narrative about cities one defined by utopian ideologies, architectural visions, and technological fantasies.Smart streetlights, water and air quality tracking, autonomous vehicles: with examples from all over the world, including New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Portland, and Chicago, Dream States unpacks the world of smart city tech, but also situates this important shift in city-building into a broader story about why we still dream about perfect places.John Lorincs incisive analysis in Dream States reminds us that the search for urban utopia is not new. Throughout the book, Lorinc underscores the fact that a gamut of urban innovations from smart city megaprojects to e-government to pandemic preparedness tools only provide promise when scrutinized together with the political, economic, social, and physical complexities of urban life. Shauna Brail, University of TorontoDream States: Smart Cities, Technology, and the Pursuit of Urban Utopias takes us on a fascinating journey across world cities to show how technology has shaped them in the past and how smart city technology will reshape them in the future. This book is essential reading for policy makers, researchers, and practitioners interested in understanding the opportunities and challenges of smart city technology and what it means for city building. Enid Slack, University of Toronto School of CitiesUtopia may be the oldest grift in the city-building business, but Dream States shows that technology is a timeless tool for turning the most ordinary of urban dreams clean air and water, safe streets, and decent homes into reality. As digital dilettantes try to sell us on a software overhaul, John Lorinc provides us an indispensable and flawless guide to the must-haves and never-agains of the smart city.

Poor Atlanta looks at the poor people's campaigns in Atlanta in the 1960s and 1970s, which operated in relationship to Sunbelt city- building efforts. With these efforts, city leaders aimed to prevent urban violence, staunch disinvestment, check white flight, and amplify Atlanta's importance as a business and transportation hub. As urban leaders promoted Forward Atlanta, a program to, in Mayor Ivan Allen Jr.'s words, "sell the city like a product," poor families insisted that their lives and living conditions, too, should improve. While not always operating within public awareness, antipoverty campaigns among the poor presented a regular and sometimes strident critique of inequality and Atlanta's uneven urban development. With Poor Atlanta, LeeAnn B. Lands demonstrates that, while eclipsed by the Black freedom movement, antipoverty organizing (including direct action campaigns, legal actions, lobbying, and other forms of activism) occurred with regularity from 1964 through 1976. Her analysis is one of the few citywide studies of antipoverty organizing in late twentieth-century America.

Increasingly, public space provision and management are being transferred from the public sector to real estate developers, private sector organisations, voluntary groups and community bodies. Contrasting the more historical, horizontal character of London with the intense street life of high-rise Hong Kong, this book tells the story of the two cities' relationships with non-traditional forms of public space governance. The authors consider the implications for the 'publicness' of these complex spaces and the challenges and impacts that different forms of provision have on those with a stake in them, and on the cities as a whole.

"This book provides a critical look at the measures that leading cities in the global north and south are taking to meet the sustainability challenges of the 21st century. Bringing together local experts from around the world, the volume surveys these cities' efforts to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gases, secure fresh drinking water supplies, and adapt to climate change"--

This book provides an innovative perspective to consider contemporary urban challenges through the lens of urban vacancy.

“Expansive and entertaining. . . . [A] fast-paced and highly readable journey . . . the book serves as a useful tool in the effort to redefine the role of the city in an age of increasingly polarized politics, and reminds us that urban health is—as Fiorello La Guardia once remarked about cleaning the streets—not a Democratic or Republican issue.” —New York Times Book ReviewOne of our great urbanists and one of our great public health experts join forces to reckon with how cities are changing in the face of existential threats the pandemic has only acceleratedCities can make us sick. That’s always been true—diseases spread more easily when more people are close to one another. And cities have been demonized as breeding grounds for vice and crime from Sodom and Gomorrah on. But cities have flourished nonetheless because they are humanity’s greatest invention, indispensable engines for creativity, innovation, wealth, and civilization itself.   But cities now stand at a crossroads. During the global COVID crisis, cities grew silent; the normal forms of socializing ground to a halt. How permanent are these changes? Advances in technology mean that many people can opt out of city life as never before. Will they? Are we on the brink of a post-urban world?   City life will survive, but individual cities face terrible risks, argue Edward Glaeser and David Cutler, and a wave of urban failure would be absolutely disastrous. In terms of intimacy and inspiration, nothing can replace what cities offer. But great cities have always demanded great management, and our current crisis has exposed fearful gaps in our capacity for good governance. In America, Glaeser and Cutler argue, deep inequities in health care and education are a particular blight on the future of our cities; solving them will be the difference between our collective good health and a downward spiral to a much darker place.

This open access book examines the transition to sustainable energy systems in emerging cities. Experts from around the world present case studies from different countries and discuss efforts were needed for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The authors look into the issue of environment vs. economics and discuss the question of whether the energy transition goal can conflict with other development goals such as decent work and economic growth. Furthermore, innovation in energy transition is introduced, both in technology and citizens¿ engagement. The book presents the latest developments on energy access and transition to sustainability throughout the overall value chain: from basic research in universities to documentation of lessons learned in the field. The empirical evidence presented makes this book appealing to scholars in the field of energy sustainability as well as to policy-makers and energy service companies.

In a neighbourhood facing massive redevelopment, racialized residents speak about stigma, social mixing, and what the island community means to them. Based on rich interviews, photographs, and archival research, Julie Chamberlain rejects the usual silence in German urban studies around racialization and examines how constructing some groups as »not belonging« has shaped Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg's past and present. For racialized long-time residents, it is Heimat, a space of belonging in the context of exclusion. As social mix policy threatens that belonging, residents explore their hopes and their fears for the future of an urban space where gentrification looms.

Circular Design for Zero Emission Architecture and Building Practice: It is the Green Way or the Highway presents the main concepts of circular architecture and building design, focusing on emerging trends in zero-emission buildings, particularly zero- and minus- carbon practice. The book is structured around practical design solutions, including research-based passive solutions for extreme climates. It discusses passive and low carbon cooling and heating and natural ventilation, lifecycle assessment and life-cost analysis. The book presents examples and case studies from innovative low-tech to high-tech approaches, covering a wide spectrum of climate zones to show lessons learned and proof of concept. Vulnerable groups of people such as climate refugees are discussed, alongside how vernacular architecture can help introduce practical methods into low-carbon building practices. This book presents theoretical and practical coverage of circular design for zero emission architecture and building in relation to the global challenges of climate change and extreme weather.

The private rental housing market plays an important and growing role in the advanced economies. Providing accommodation for a wider range of households than before the global financial crisis, rental housing is also a key asset class for private individuals and companies, while the rise of Airbnb lettings has pushed up rents and reduced the number of homes available to residents. This edited collection by leading experts in the field analyses recent changes in the private rental market, using case studies from the UK, Europe, Australia and the USA, and assesses the initial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Taking English Planning Law Scholarship Seriously discusses planning law scholarship in all of its variety. The chapters reflect this diversity and complexity of the field, covering a range of topics, from housing to highways.

Vous avez dit espace commun ? reformule le débat sur les biens communs à partir de la question des espaces de vie, c¿est-à-dire des lieux qui se structurent à partir de réseaux de relations et de collaboration civique tissés entre les habitants. La situation pandémique, parce qüelle amplifie les risques de ségrégation spatiale, d¿inégalités et de recours à l¿entre-soi et aux principes d¿exclusion, en fait aujourd¿hui un sujet central.Interroger les espaces de vie, de la ville et de son territoire, permet donc, d¿une part, de comprendre le rôle de nouvelles formes de gouvernance dans la définition d¿un horizon post-capitaliste, et dans l¿exploration d¿alternatives soutenables de co-design, co-projettation et co-construction, et d¿autre part, d¿identifier les régimes de partage, les connaissances et pratiques de citoyenneté active qui se profilent comme éléments d¿innovation sociale et urbaine.Les approches théoriques et les études de cas, qui s¿articulent dans cet ouvrage, montrent que les Commons sont bien plus que l¿ensemble des biens non rivaux et non exclusifs : ils constituent, au-delà d¿une modalité de résistance à la privatisation débridée du capitalisme, une pratique instituante.La variété des modes de vie est appréhendée ici à travers la diversité des concepts d¿espace et leur inéluctable corrélation, dans un jeu de regards croisés entre l¿Italie et la France, ouvrant à un apprentissage réciproque.Auteurs : Jean Attali, MariaLuisa Barelli, Sara Basso, Maria Bottiglieri, Francesca Bragaglia, Simona Calvagna, Roméo Carabelli, Estelle Carlier, Valter Cavallaro, Juliette Charron, Cristina Dalla Torre, Clémence Dupuis, Gilda Farrell, Benedetta Giudice, Francesca Gori, Paola Gregory, George-Henry Laffont, Charlotte Limonne, Ugo Mattei, Danièle Méaux, Andrea Membretti, Jimmy Meersman, Giusi Pappalardo, Elisa Ravazzoli, David Robin, Davide Rolfo, Laura Saija, Florence Sarano, Silvana Segapeli, Laura Socci, Katia Stachowicz, Géraldine Texier-Rideau, Vanessa Mascia Turri, Elena Vigliocco et Angioletta Voghera.

Examines the ways in which austerity policies are transforming US cities.

Die dramatische Sars-CoV-2 Pandemie wirkt weltweit in vielen Bereichen des Lebens wie ein Brandbeschleuniger. Davon sind auch Architektur und Stadtebau betroffen. Der Handel in den Innenstadten ist weggebrochen, die Bedeutung von Buros nimmt ab. Dafur werden mehr Grunflachen fur die Erholung benotigt und veranderte Wohnungsgrundrisse, um das Homeoffice aufzunehmen. Das Buch benennt die wichtigsten architektonischen und stadtebaulichen Veranderungen, die mit Corona in Stadt und Land einhergehen, stellt sie in den Kontext des Stadtumbaus durch den Klimawandel, verortet sie historisch und leitet daraus konkrete Strategien und Chancen ab, um den zentralen Zukunftsherausforderungen zu begegnen, die sich aus der Pandemie fur Stadt und Land ergeben. 

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Asienkunde, Asienwissenschaften, Note: 1,3, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In dieser Arbeit sollen unter dem Thema ¿Palast und Stadt¿ die Grundlagen der Stadtplanung und -entwicklung Edos (des heutigen Tokyos) in Hinblick auf ihren politischen Charakter untersucht werden.Hierzu ist zunächst anzumerken, dass es sich im Fall Edo weniger um den Bezug vom ¿Palast¿ zur Stadt, als von der ¿Burg¿ zur Stadt handelt. In Japan verbindet man mit dem Palast immer den Kaiser, welcher de facto fast die ganze Geschichte hindurch das Staatsoberhaupt Japans war. Dieser jedoch residierte im kaiserlichen Palast in Kyoto, während sich im japanischen Mittelalter langsam die Kriegerklasse erhob und an Macht gewann. So kam es dazu, dass der Kaiser zwar auf dem Papier das Land regierte, aber in Wahrheit der shôgun (der militärische Oberbefehlshaber) zum obersten Machthaber in Japan wurde. Edo war ab 1603 für über 260 Jahre das militärische Zentrum Japans und nicht dem Hofadel, sondern dem Kriegsadel verschrieben. Es war keine kaiserliche Hauptstadt, wie Kyoto es war, und unterlag aus diesem Grund auch anderen stadtplanerischen Visionen. Im Vordergrund standen militärische Interessen und weniger ästhetische oder kosmische Einflüsse. Die gesellschaftlichen Ränge wurden neu definiert ¿ und dies spiegelte sich auch im Stadtbild wieder.Nachdem im folgenden Abschnitt kurz auf die Entstehungsgeschichte der Stadt Edo eingegangen wird, folgt unter Punkt 3. eine allgemeine Beschäftigung mit dem mittelalterlichen Standart-Stadttyp, welchem auch Edo angehörte: Der Burgstadt. Es soll ein Überblick über die allgemeinen stadtplanerischen Grundlagen und deren Hintergründe geschaffen werden. Hierzu werden die geschichtlichen Umstände und das mit dem Aufkommen der Burgstädte verbundene Gesellschaftssystem beleuchtet. Außerdem werden typische Charakteristika der japanischen mittelalterlichen Burgstadt herausgearbeitet. Unter Punkt 4. wird das Augenmerk dann direkt auf Edo selbst gelenkt. Aufgrund seiner Funktion als militärisches Zentrum des Landes und den politischen Programmen Tokugawas sollen die Besonderheiten der Stadt hervorgehoben werden. Der darauf folgende Abschnitt beschäftigt sich dann mit einem weiteren stadtplanerischen Konzept, welches religiöser Natur war und höchstwahrscheinlich in der Frühphase Edos die Stadtplanung beeinflusste, bevor die Religion mehr und mehr an Signifikanz verlor.
