Byplanlægning og kommuneplanlægning

This book follows on from the editors' 2010 volume and provides a more longitudinal (backwards and forwards in time) and broader (turning away from Anglo/Euro-American hegemony) sense of developments in gentrification studies over time and space, drawing on key readings that reflect the development of cutting edge debates.

The Future of the City Centre: Global Perspectives debates future directions. It looks beyond the post-industrial, post-commercial and post-retail city centres to examine differing visions of the future form and function of the urban core.

For over seventy years, private cars have dominated public space in German cities. In the Free Street Manifesto, a creative-academic alliance fundamentally challenges this status quo, highlighting the forgotten and unrecognized characteristics of streets and the opportunities they present. In doing so, the alliance focuses on a communal spatial resource that we, in times of climate change, digitalization, and social inequality, urgently need to learn to use differently. Through images, comics, graphics, and succinct scientific insights, the Free Street Manifesto points the way to a future full of exciting possibilities-and demonstrates that our streets should be more than just a route from A to B.

Seit über 70 Jahren dominiert das private Auto den öffentlichen Raum deutscher Städte. Mit dem Manifest der freien Straße stellt eine kreativ-wissenschaftliche Allianz dieses Dogma grundsätzlich infrage und thematisiert vergessene und unerkannte Qualitäten und Möglichkeiten der Straßennutzung. Damit nimmt sie eine kommunale Raumressource in den Blick, die wir in Zeiten von Klimawandel, Digitalisierung und sozialer Ungleichheit dringend anders zu nutzen lernen müssen. Mit Bildern, Comics, Grafiken und knackigen wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen weist das Manifest der freien Straße den Weg in eine chancenreiche Zukunft und zeigt: Straßen sollten mehr sein, als bloß ein Raum, um von A nach B zu kommen.

Urban riverbanks are attractive locations and highly prized recreational environments. However, they must meet the requirements of flood control, open space design and ecology at the same time, often a challenging task for the designer in very confined spaces. The book, the result of a study lasting several years, subjects more than 60 exemplary projects to a comparative analysis. The result is a systematic catalogue of strategies and innovative design tools. The designer and planner thus obtains an overview of the range of design possibilities. Eight new case studies from China, Italy, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland were selected and added for the enlarged edition of this reference work on riverbank design.

In The Drive for Dollars, Jeffrey R. Brown, Eric A. Morris, and Brian D. Taylor tell the largely misunderstood story of how freeways became the centerpiece of US urban transportation systems, and the crucial, though usually overlooked, role of fiscal politics in bringing them about. With the nation's transportation finance system at a crossroads, this book sheds light on how we can best fund and plan transportation in the future. The authors offer a way forward that will spread the financial burden more equitably, provide travelers with better mobility, build more appealing communities, and safeguard the planet.

While urban life can be characterized by endeavors to settle stable and safe environments, for many people urban space is rarely stable or safe. As the notion of unsettled appears to define contemporary urban experience, this book investigates the conflicts and possibilities of settling and unsettling through open and speculative analysis.

Taming the Oriental Bazaar examines the public market-hall as a key architectural feature of colonial South Asia. Representing a transition in the architectural programme, these buildings were meant to be monuments and markers of modernity in South Asia.
