Common sense solutions for affordable housing that is truly affordableGentrification and displacement of low-income communities of color are major issues in New York City and the city's zoning policies are a major cause.

The book examines the contemporary Asian city through the prism of urban design in assimilating new and established drivers of growth. This includes intensified forms of residential development, specialized commercial centers and technology parks, that drive the momentum of the contemporary city, while acting to restructure and reshape forms of capital investment. New spatial patterns are facilitated by tranches of urban expansion, redevelopment, regeneration and suburbanization that have emerged as by-products of both formal and informal development processes. The book also examines the Asian city language embodied in the local morphology--the essential values of the street, block, temple precinct and monument, and how these can be incorporated as drivers of new urban identities that relate to the changing culture and configuration of city neighborhoods. All of these continue to impose different levels of impact on the creation of livable cities and the quality of life for their inhabitants. In this way urban design can look to the future while respecting the past.> The book frames a perspective on the urban design challenges presented by the rapidly expanding and regenerating Asian cities, and how these can be shaped by memory, meaning and identity while meeting sustainable, resilient and community concerns.

"One of the most enduring American urban myths concerns the death of the Red Car Trolley, an extensive and equitable system in Los Angeles County that some say was weakened and then eradicated by US car manufacturers. Yet as Nicholas Dagen Bloom shows, an array of larger yet less tangible forces together interacted to practically murder public transportation of all kinds in cities nationwide. Most centrally, public transit collapsed because essentially we wanted it to-no conspiracy necessary. Detailing the histories of transportation in Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, and San Francisco, Bloom seeks to set all of our transit myths to rest for the sake not only of accuracy but in order to enrich our conversations about public transportation funding today"--

Im Imperium Romanum bildete der Bau von Straen, Hafen oder Wasserleitungen in politischer, administrativer und wirtschaftlicher Hinsicht einen Schnittpunkt von imperialen und lokalen Interessen.Die Beitrage des Bandes analysieren die Einrichtung von Infrastrukturanlagen und deren Verwaltung in den Provinzen im Hinblick auf das Ineinandergreifen von imperialer und lokaler Herrschaftsorganisation. Im Zentrum stehen die Handlungsstrategien der verschiedenen Angehorigen der kaiserlichen Verwaltung sowie der lokalen Funktionstrager. Es werden einerseits die organisatorischen Ablaufe und Motive der Handelnden, andererseits die latenten Konfliktpunkte diskutiert und damit die Kommunikation bzw. Interaktion zwischen den Gemeinden und dem Kaiser bzw. seinen Stellvertretern transparent gemacht. Die Ergebnisse des Tagungsbandes leisten damit einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Verstandnis der inneren Funktionsstruktur des Reiches.
