The Architecture of Home in Cairo Socio-Spatial Practice of the Hawari’s Everyday LifeMohamed Gamal Abdelmonem, Queen’s University Belfast, UK

‘In this book, Mohamed Gamal Abdelmonem, gives us a comprehensive, well-illustrated, and nicely written narrative of The Architecture of Home in Cairo. It is a thorough study of domestic space over many centuries with a clear account of the transformation that dwellings in Cairo have undergone in the past few centuries. That this comes to us from a Cairene who clearly loves his city is an additional treat allowing us to see with him how houses have been turned into homes over time in a city that never ceases to surprise.’

Nezar AlSayyad, University of California, Berkeley, USA

This book firstly describes the historical development of the domestic spaces (indoor and outdoor), and provides an inclusive analysis of spaces of everyday activities in the hawari of old Cairo. It then broadens its analysis to other parts of the city, highlighting different customs and representations of home in the city at large. Cairo, in the context of this book, is represented as the most sophisticated urban centre in the Middle East with different and sometimes contrasting approaches to the architecture of home, as a practice and spatial system.

Architecture RePerformed: The Politics of Reconstruction Edited by Tino Mager, Berlin Institute of Technology, Germany

This book deals with the phenomenon of meticulous reconstruction in architecture. It argues that the politics of reconstruction go far beyond aesthetic considerations. Taking architecture as a major source of history and regional identity, the impact of large-scale reconstruction is deeply intertwined with political and social factors. By bringing together eight case studies from Eastern Europe, France, Spain, China, Japan, Israel and Brazil, it provides valuable insights into this topic. The chapters analyse the political background of the reconstructions and identify the protagonists.

Architecture, Liberty and Civic Order Architectural Theories from Vitruvius to Jefferson and BeyondCarroll William Westfall, University of Notre Dame, USA

‘Westfall presents this immensely impressive and intellectually innovative study of the great names in the history of architecture and architectural theory from antiquity to the present day as “a book about the most important thing we can make, the city”.’

David Watkin, University of Cambridge, UK and Honorary Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects

This book brings to light central topics that are neglected in current histories and theories of architecture and urbanism. It traces two models for the practice of architecture. One follows the ancient model in which the architect renders his service to serve the interests of others; it survives and is dominant in modernism. The other, first formulated in the fifteenth century by Leon Battista Alberti, has the architect use his talent in coordination with others to contribute to the common good of a republican civil order that seeks to protect its own liberty and that of its citizens. It stresses the importance and urgency, of restoring traditional practices so that we can build just, beautiful, and sustainable cities and rural districts.

Building a World Heritage City Sanaa, YemenMichele Lamprakos, University of Maryland-College Park, USAHERITAGE, CULTURE AND IDENTITY

‘In this richly documented account of conservation in a living city, Michele Lamprakos portrays a vast array of voices and skills; we encounter local builders, architects, planners, bureaucrats, politicians, and various foreign nationals who have influenced Sanaa’s evolution to its present condition. Building a World Heritage City is a stunning and critically important achievement.’

Michael Herzfeld, Harvard University, USA

Conservation in Sanaa raises a fundamental question: what does it mean to conserve in a place where the ‘historic past’ is still alive? How must international agencies and consultants readjust theory and practice as they interact with the living representatives of this historic past? And what are the implications of the case of Sanaa for conservation in general? Building a World Heritage City addresses these questions, drawing on the methodologies of history, architecture, and ethnography. Based on extensive fieldwork, this book looks at conservation from the ground up – through the eyes of architects, builders, residents, and officials.

The Changing Image of Affordable Housing Design, Gentrification and Community in Canada and EuropeUlduz Maschaykh, University of Bonn, Germany

‘This unique study of inclusive affordable housing strategies highlights the important role architecture plays in giving people from a broad range of backgrounds a sense of identity and belonging in housing those on the margins. Contemporary examples from Germany, Austria, and western Canada identify issues such as heritage preservation, design, class, and gentrification, making this book a clear argument for mixed use, mixed income housing communities. It is a useful resource for architects, planners, non-profit housing groups, municipalities, policy makers, and others involved in affordable housing.’ Emma Cubitt, Associate at Invizij Architects in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

This book examines the liveability and affordability of twenty-first-century residential architecture. Focussing on the architects’ and communities’ commitment to these housing programmes, as well as that of the private building sector, it stresses the importance of the context of the neighbourhoods in which they are placed, which are either in the process of urban transition or already gentrified. In doing so, the book shows how, and to what extent, twenty-first-century dwelling architecture developments can help to create an integrated sense of community, diminish social and demographic exclusions in a neighbourhood and incorporate people’s desires as to what their buildings should look like.

Connections Exploring Contemporary Planning Theory and Practice with Patsy HealeyEdited by Jean Hillier, RMIT University, Australia and Jonathan Metzger, KTH, Stockholm, Sweden

‘This is so much more than a collection of Patsy Healey’s work. The editorial essays and careful selection of papers draw out threads of connection across her work, and the commissioned responses show its continuing relevance. Topics such as property development and institutionalism get renewed attention. The result is a major contribution to the field of study that Patsy played such a central role in shaping.’

Yvonne Rydin, University College London, UK

The title – Connections – symbolises relationality, possibly the most outstanding element linking Patsy’s ideas. The book showcases the wide international influence of Patsy’s work and celebrates the whole trajectory of work to show how many of her ideas on for instance the role of theory in planning, processes of change, networking as a mode of governance, how ideas spread, and ways of thinking planning democratically were ahead of their time and are still of importance.

ASHGATE STUDIES IN ARCHITECTURESeries editor: Eamonn Canniffe, Manchester School of Architecture, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK

The discipline of Architecture is undergoing subtle transformation as design awareness permeates our visually dominated culture. Technological change, the search for sustainability and debates around the value of place and meaning of the architectural gesture are aspects which will affect the cities we inhabit. This series seeks to address such topics, both theoretically and in practice, through the publication of high quality original research, written and visual.

Topics to be covered include the following:

Architectural history and theory and their relationship to the development of the discipline, building conservation, heritage and creative adaptation.

The formal and aesthetic values of architectural design, the diversity of its expression of identity, and its representation in other media.

The impact of technological innovation on the materialisation of architecture and the questions surrounding environmental sustainability, experimentation and visionary design.

The social and psychological context of architectural production, its relationship to occupants, clients and to other creative and professional disciplines, and the political situation in which it is commissioned.

Proposals will be welcomed which explore or connect aspects of these themes. Subjects which deal with individual architects, with specific buildings or building types, and the critical interpretation of historical and contemporary architecture from a theoretical or philosophical perspective are particularly encouraged. Architecture’s embodiment of technical, social, and aesthetic aspects will also be emphasised.

Architecture of Great Expositions 1937–1959 Messages of Peace, Images of WarEdited by Rika Devos, Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium, Alexander Ortenberg, California State University, Pomona, USA and Vladimir Paperny, UCLA, USA

This book investigates architecture as a form of diplomacy in the context of the Second World War at six major European international and national expositions that took place between 1937 and ’59. The volume gives a fascinating account of architecture assuming the role of the carrier of war-related messages, some of them camouflaged while others quite frank. The book provides a novel assessment of modern architecture’s involvement with national representation it also argues that this widespread confidence in architecture’s ability to act as a propaganda tool was one of the reasons why Modernist architecture lent itself to the service of such different masters.

The City Crown by Bruno Taut Edited by Matthew Mindrup, The University of Sydney, Australia and Ulrike Altenmüller-Lewis, Drexel University, USA

‘This English translation of Bruno Taut’s The City Crown with informative essays by Matthew Mindrup and Ulrike Altenmüller-Lewis is a welcome addition to an understanding of this important modernist architect. The essays place The City Crown in the context of Taut’s other utopian books, his extensive work in housing, and within the broader history of the early twentieth century.’

Rosemarie Bletter, City University of New York, USA

This book is the first English translation of the German architect, Bruno Taut’s early twentieth-century anthology Die Stadtkrone (The City Crown). Written with World War I in mind, Taut developed The City Crown to promote a utopian urban concept where people would live in a garden city of ‘apolitical socialism’ and peaceful collaboration around a single purpose-free crystalline structure. Taut’s proposal sought to advance the garden city idea of Ebenezer Howard and rural aesthetic of Camillo Sitte’s urban planning schemes by merging them with his own ‘city crown’ concept. The book also contains contributions by the Expressionist poet Paul Scheerbart, Eric Baron and the architectural critic Adolf Behne.

Urban Design and Planning

Global Perspectives on Critical Architecture Praxis ReloadedEdited by Gevork Hartoonian, University of Canberra, Australia

Judging from the debates taking place in both education and practice, it appears that architecture is deeply in crisis. New design and production techniques, together with the globalization of capital and even skilled-labour, have reduced architecture to a commodified object, its aesthetic qualities tapping into the current pervasive desire for the spectacular. These developments have changed the architect’s role in the design and production processes of architecture. Bringing together essays and interviews from leading scholars such as Kenneth Frampton, Peggy Deamer, Bernard Tschumi, Donald Kunze and Marco Biraghi, this volume investigates and critically addresses various dimensions of the present crisis of architecture.




The Material Imagination Reveries on Architecture and MatterEdited by Matthew Mindrup, University of Canberra, Australia

‘The chapters of this book clarify and extend recent attempts at a great reversal in architectural practice and theory: overcoming the centuries-old prejudice that the materials of a built work are insignificant until they are given form and shape through design and construction. Argued instead is that they have propensities, potentialities, and capacities that attentive and imaginative design practices (poetics) work with and against. Materials are not only formed by but also inform the building’s geometries, finishes, and colors. Mannerist architects figure prominently in this account, also the great modernists, and many of our contemporaries – all of whom think with, not about, materials. This book helps us see materials in a new way, and more largely, architecture itself.’

David Leatherbarrow, University of Pennsylvania, USA

In recent years architectural discourse has witnessed a renewed interest in materiality under the guise of such familiar tropes as ‘material honesty,’ ‘form finding,’ or ‘digital materiality.’ As an alternative to a formal approach in architectural design, this book challenges readers to rethink the reverie of materials in architecture through an examination of historical precedent, architectural practice, literary sources, philosophical analyses and everyday experience. Focusing on matter as the premise of an architect’s imagination, each chapter identifies and graphically illustrates how material imagination defines the conceptual premises for making architecture.

Phenomenologies of the City Studies in the History and Philosophy of ArchitectureEdited by Henriette Steiner and Maximilian Sternberg

‘For many years now phenomenology has influenced both the theory and the practice of architecture, challenging a still dominant preoccupation with technological innovation and aesthetic uniqueness. But the most pressing challenge facing architecture today, how it is to meet its social and environmental responsibility, has received insufficient attention. Focusing on the city, the present collection of chapters addresses that deficit, where the high quality of the contributions makes this also a tribute to the Cambridge Department of Architecture, with which all the authors have some connection.’

Karsten Harries, Yale University, USA

This book brings architecture and urbanism into dialogue with phenomenology. The contributors are architects and scholars of urbanism with backgrounds in literature, history, religious studies, and art history. Rather than developing a single theoretical statement, the book addresses architecture’s relationship with the city in a wide range of historical and contemporary contexts. The chapters trace hidden genealogies, and explore the ruptures as much as the persistence of recurrent cultural motifs. Together, these interconnected phenomenologies of the city raise simple but fundamental questions: What is the city for, how is it ordered, and how can it be understood?




The Practice Turn in Architecture: Brussels after 1968 Isabelle Doucet, University of Manchester, UK

Brussels, a complex city with a turbulent architectural and urban past, forms a compelling case for examining the tensions between urban politics, architectural imaginations, society’s needs and desires, and the city’s history and fabric. Through the analysis of a series of critical actions and tools, which occurred in Brussels’ architectural and urban culture after 1968, the book shows how critical action emerges from official planning, architectural criticism, urban activism as well as mundane everyday practices.This book offers an important input to the historiography of Brussels and a timely contribution to recent scholarship on the critical reappraisal of architectural debates from the 1960s through to the 1990s.

Constructing a Place of Critical Architecture in China Intermediate Criticality in the Journal Time + ArchitectureGuanghui Ding, Hong Kong, China

‘With excerpts from Time+Architecture and several other periodicals, Guanghui Ding has made an insightful and engaging case for an alternative, critical and ultimately more interesting interpretation of an increasingly influential strand of contemporary Chinese architecture by new generations of architects operating beyond the realm of design institutes and commercial practices.’

Peter G. Rowe, Harvard University, USA

For the past 30 years, the Chinese journal Time + Architecture (Shidai Jianzhu) has focused on publishing innovative and exploratory work by emerging architects based in private design firms who were committed to new material, theoretical and pedagogical practices. this book assesses the contribution the journal has made to the emergence of a critical architecture in China, in the context of how it was articulated, debated, presented and perhaps even ‘produced’ within the pages of the publication itself.




Courtyard Housing for Health and Happiness Architectural Multiculturalism in North AmericaDonia Zhang

‘With this new book, Dr Donia Zhang goes well beyond her earlier studies of courtyard housing in China by first reviewing 20th century courtyard housing developments in North America. Then, at a time of increasing multi-culturalism, she looks forward and confidently predicts that courtyard designs will emerge strong worldwide in the 21st century. Her subject matter ranges widely in promoting a housing form that is both healthy as a structure and happy as a home. This is a book that will be welcomed by architects, planners, and even those contemplating owning a home.’

Ronald G. Knapp, State University of New York, USA

Identifying four key themes in Chinese philosophy to promote health and happiness at home, this book links architecture with Chinese philosophy, social sciences, and the humanities, and in doing so, argues that Architectural Multiculturalism is a vital ideology to guide housing design in North America. Using both qualitative and quantitative evidence gathered from ethnic Chinese and non-Chinese living in the USA and Canada, the study proposes that the Courtyard is a central component to promote social and cultural health and happiness of residents.

Cycling Futures From Research into PracticeEdited by Regine Gerike, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Vienna (BOKU), Austria and John Parkin, University of the West of England, UK

‘Cycling offers vast potential as a healthy and sustainable mode of transport, if only planners could find effective ways to promote it. Cycling Futures provides a wealth of information from studies across Europe that will be useful to planners in their efforts to promote cycling. This important book reminds us of the value of research contributions from a broad array of disciplines.’

Susan Handy, University of California, Davis, USA

Tensions at the heart of the nature of cycling remain: on the one hand cycling is frequently viewed as being a risky activity, while on the other hand it is seen as being a way of allowing populations to live healthier lives. Reviewing this dichotomy, the authors in this book consider the ways that cycling is planned and promoted. This is done partly in relation to these issues of risk and health, but also from the broader perspective of behavioural response to the changing nature of cycling. A section on methodologies is also included which outlines the current state-of-the art and points a way to future research.






Globalization and Europe’s Rural Regions Edited by John McDonagh, NUI Galway, Ireland, Birte Nienaber, University of Luxembourg and Michael Woods, Aberystwyth University, WalesPERSPECTIVES ON RURAL POLICY AND PLANNING

‘If you are interested in the complex realities of globalisation in rural Europe, this is the volume for you. Through ten case studies, well-respected European scholars provide a thought-provoking and critical debate about what globalisation means in theory and practice for Europe’s rural regions.’Sally Shortall, Queen’s University Belfast, Northern Ireland

This book examines the multiple ways in which rural regions in Europe are being restructured through globalization and the regional development responses that they have adopted. Drawing on examples and findings from a major European research project, DERREG, the book presents detailed case studies of ten regions in different parts of Europe, exploring the factors that lead to different experiences of globalization in each of the regions, and highlighting examples of good practice in regional development responses. It is important reading for geographers, sociologists, planners and economists interested in understanding the impact of globalization in rural regions, and for rural development professionals seeking to mobilize effective responses.




The Greening of London, 1920–2000 Matti O. Hannikainen

‘A timely, innovative and very welcome record of an important subject. Deeply researched, this account makes a vital contribution to our understanding of where we are now in the fight to sustain green space in a major capital city.’

Helen Meller, University of Nottingham, UK

The long-term development of public green spaces in London during the twentieth century is a curiously neglected subject, despite the fact that various kinds of green spaces cover huge areas in cities. Building on case studies of the contemporary boroughs of Camden and Southwark and making use of a wealth of archival material, the author takes us through the planning and creation stages, to the intended uses and ongoing management of the spaces. It makes a crucial contribution to academic as well as political discourse on the history and present role of green space in sustainable cities.

Housing in 21st Century Australia People, Practices and PoliciesEdited by Rae Dufty-Jones and Dallas Rogers both at the University of Western Sydney, Australia

‘Strongly reflecting the vitality of Australia’s housing studies community and encompassing a wide range of current housing-related policy debates, this topical collection helps to plug what has been a yawning gap in the nation’s urban planning literature. As many contributions chime with live policy discussions in comparator countries, this text will also be of interest to academics and others outwith Australia.’

Hal Pawson, University of New South Wales, Australia

The studies presented in this text provide a unique insight into a range of housing production, consumption and policy issues that, while based in Australia, have implications that go beyond this national context. For instance how do suburban-based societies adjust to the realities of aging populations, anthropogenic climate change and the significant implications such change has for housing? How has policy been translated and assembled in specific national contexts? Similarly, what are the significantly different policy settings the production and consumption of housing in a post-Global Financial Crisis period require? Framed in this way this book accounts for and responds to some of the key housing issues of the 21st century.






SERIES www.ashgate.com/designandthebuiltenvironment

DESIGN AND THE BUILT ENVIRONMENTSeries editor: Matthew Carmona

Although a discipline with ancient roots, it is only very recently that urban design has been widely recognised by many national and local governments and by the established built environment professions as a discrete and important area of practice with its own theoretical base and significant practical contribution to make to delivering and maintaining urban quality. With its new status, urban design is now an expanding discipline sitting amongst and bridging the gaps between the established built environment professions of architecture, planning, surveying, landscape architecture, and engineering. In this position, urban design also borrows from, and contributes to, academic discourse in areas as diverse as urban geography, sociology, public administration, cultural studies, environmental management, and conservation and urban regeneration.

This series provides a means to disseminate more substantive urban and environmental design research. Specifically, contributions will be welcomed which are the result of original empirical research, scholarly evaluation, reflection on the practice and the process of urban design, critical analysis of particular aspects of the built environment, or important conference proceedings. Volumes should be of international interest, although they may focus on the particular experience and practice in one country. They may also reflect theory and practice from across one or more of the spatial scales over which urban design operates, from environmental and spatial design of settlements, to a concern with large areas of towns and cities – districts or quarters, to consideration of individual developments, urban spaces and networks of spaces, to the contribution of architecture in the urban realm.

The Design of Frontier Spaces Control and AmbiguityEdited by Carolyn Loeb, Michigan State University, USA and Andreas Luescher, Bowling Green State University, USA

‘The Design of Frontier Spaces shows that the divisions that borders suggest are not in any way normal or natural, but that their self-evidence and seeming stability is something that needs to be continually maintained. This is the crucial yet often-overlooked work of design, which the book’s contributors analyze in compelling and diverse ways.’ Kenny Cupers, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA

This text is unique in bringing together a number of scholarly perspectives in the arts and humanities to examine how spatial and architectural design decisions convey meaning, shape or abet specific social practices, and stage memories of frontier zones that no longer function as such. With studies from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and North America, this collection of essays casts a wide net to consider borders of diverse sorts. This range allows for reflection on shifts in how frontier zones are articulated and the impermanence of border emplacements, as well as on likely scenarios for future frontiers.

Mega-event Cities: Urban Legacies of Global Sports Events Edited by Gavin Poynter, University of East London, UK and Valerie Viehoff, University of Bonn, Germany

‘From Barcelona to Sochi, from London to Rio, sport mega-events became the most recent frontier of city restructuring under the driving force of global finance. This book examines the political economy of sport mega-events and its impacts on cities – and on citizens – exploring the multiple and contradictory meanings of the concept of “legacy”.’

Raquel Rolnick, Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil

This book focuses upon the legacies sought by cities that host major sports events. It analyses how governments, the IOC and others define and measure ‘legacy’. It also focuses upon the challenges and opportunities facing future host cities of mega-events and questions what the global shift in geographical location of mega-events means for sports development and the business of sport and what are the attractions for cities seeking to harness the hosting of a mega-event, and whether there may be longer term consequences for the bidding and hosting major sporting events.






Towns and Cities: Function in Form Urban Structures, Economics and SocietyJulian Hart, Managing Director, Lancefield Consulting Ltd, UK

‘This book brings a fresh perspective to how we think about and manage urban form. A very useful addition to any planner’s library.’

Esther Kurland, Urban Design London, UK

The book makes a step change from any other comparable studies by understanding our towns and cities in terms of function in form. This helps us to appreciate why every town is a recognisable town, wherever it is. Different urban environments in different parts of the world, past and present, can come to be seen according to their similarities instead of their differences. Furthermore, by appreciating how the economic influences of everyday life structure our towns and cities, we can in turn begin to understand better how the structure of towns and cities affect the quality of life of inhabitants and the cohesiveness of communities. In covering all scales from inside the home to macrostructure of the city, the book encapsulates urban or town planning and does not seek to distinguish between the various design disciplines.




Urban Design in the Arab World Reconceptualizing BoundariesEdited by Robert Saliba, American University of Beirut, Lebanon

‘The Arab City, a post-Islamic city concept, is the prism through which this collection of essays examines both the practice of urban design and the various discursive frameworks shaping it today. Deftly deploying critical, poststructuralist, and postcolonial theories, the book manages to pose fundamental questions about the status of urbanism, design, and politics before and after the Arab Spring.’

Nasser Rabbat, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA

Providing a critical overview of the state of contemporary urban design in the Arab World, this book conceptualizes the field under four major perspectives: urban design as discourse, as discipline, as research, and as practice. It poses the questions: how can such a diversity of practice be positioned with regard to current international trends in urban design? And what constitutes the specificity of the Middle Eastern experience in light of the regional political and cultural settings? This book is also about urban designers ‘on the margins’: how they narrate their cities, how they engage with their discipline, and how they negotiate their distance from, and with respect to global disciplinary trends.

Urban Planning in Lusophone African Countries Edited by Carlos Nunes Silva, Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning, University of Lisbon, Portugal

‘The thematic chapters of this important volume blaze a trail in many respects. It is the first major comprehensive text in English on colonial and post-colonial urban planning in Lusophone African countries. Together, the chapters do a marvellous job of interrogating the avowed and covert aims of colonial and contemporary urban planning in these countries. It is a “must-read” for anyone with an interest in modernist urban planning from historical and contemporary perspectives. The editor must be commended for assembling the respected team of scholars that contributed to the volume.’

Ambe Njoh, University of South Florida, USA

Urban planning on the five Lusophone African countries, has so far been relatively overlooked in planning literature. This book fills the gap by providing an in-depth analysis of key issues in the history of urban planning and discussing the key challenges confronting contemporary urban planning in these countries. A team of leading scholars confirm previous research in the colonial and postcolonial periods in Lusophone African countries and at the same time break fresh ground and offer additional insights.






SERIES

GLOBAL URBAN STUDIESSeries editor: Laura A. Reese, Michigan State University, USA

Providing cutting edge interdisciplinary research on spatial, political, cultural and economic processes and issues in urban areas across the US and the world, volumes in this series examine the global processes that impact and unite urban areas. The organizing theme of the book series is the reality that behavior within and between cities and urban regions must be understood in a larger domestic and international context. An explicitly comparative approach to understanding urban issues and problems allows scholars and students to consider and analyse new ways in which urban areas across different societies and within the same society interact with each other and address a common set of challenges or issues.

Books in the series cover topics which are common to urban areas globally, yet illustrate the similarities and differences in conditions, approaches, and solutions across the world, such as environment/brownfields, sustainability, health, economic development, culture, governance and national security. In short, the Global Urban Studies book series takes an interdisciplinary approach to emergent urban issues using a global or comparative perspective.

Cities at Risk Planning for and Recovering from Natural DisastersEdited by Pierre Filion, University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, Gary Sands, Wayne State University, Detroit, USA and Mark Skidmore, Michigan State University, Michigan, USA

How do cities prepare for and recover from natural disasters? In this book the authors provide a broad overview of the issues related to the impacts of disasters on cities around the world, from assessing risks to accounting for damages. The comparative approach across different types of disasters in a range of urban locations is useful in identifying opportunities for policy transfer. While there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution to hazard mitigation, valuable lessons can be learned from the experiences of others. The chapters emphasize different modes for assessing hazard risk, as well as strategies for increasing the resiliency of vulnerable populations.




From Local Action to Global Networks: Housing the Urban Poor Edited by Peter Herrle and Josefine Fokdal, both at Technische Universität Berlin, Germany and Astrid Ley, University of Stuttgart, Germany

Over the past two decades it has become widely recognized that housing issues have to be placed in a broader framework recognizing that civil society in the form of Community Based Organizations (CBOs) and their allies are increasingly networking and emerging as strong players that cannot easily be overlooked.This book brings together different perspectives on multi-scalar approaches within the housing field and on grassroots’ engagement with formal agencies including local government, higher levels of government and international agencies. By moving away from romanticizing local self-initiatives, it focuses on understanding the emerging potential once local initiatives are interlinked and scaled-up to transnational networks.

Governing Urban Regions Through Collaboration A View from North AmericaJoël Thibert

‘Into a field long on presumption and short on actionable evidence comes Joël Thibert’s ambitious and meticulous study of how regional collaboration matters – or not – to regional economic, social and environmental outcomes. Combine his original database of metropolitan collaborations with theoretically fair-minded and empirically forthright insights from the field: et voilà, a worthy new voice in regional analysis.’

Kathryn A. Foster, University of Maine, Farmington, USA

This book critically re-evaluates the fundamental premise of the New Regionalism, which is that regional problems can be solved without regional/higher government. More specifically, this research concentrates on the effect of bottom-up, state-mandated and functional collaboration, the moderating role of regional awareness, governmental initiative and civic capital on environmental preservation, socio-economic integration and economic competitiveness. In short, the book seeks to understand whether and how urban regional collaboration contributes to regional resilience.

Landscape Professional Practice Gordon Rowland Fraser, Chartered Landscape Architect, MBA, Barrister

‘It is unique to find a book that offers such a wide range of professional and business performance topics, and relate them to a particular profession. Gordon, with his unique professional background, has achieved this with Landscape Professional Practice. The aims of chapters are clearly presented, and the breadth of experience is impressive, covering business management concepts, professional ethics, negligence, and a range of other subjects of importance to landscape professionals. I hope many professionals will benefit from the knowledge and experience this publication has to offer.’

Chris Sheridan, Landscape Institute, UK

Guided by the Landscape Institute’s 2013 Pathway to Chartership syllabus, this structured, step-by-step, narrative guide sets out the documentation commonly used within the landscape profession. As an understanding of professional practice is intrinsic to all Landscape Institute accredited courses, this is an essential text for every landscape architecture student during their education and their subsequent journey into professional practice. Those undertaking Garden Design Diplomas will similarly find the book invaluable as they venture into the world of creativity and commerce, while the seasoned practitioner will find it a comprehensive point of reference to add to their bookshelf.




Metropolitan Governance in America Donald F. Norris, University of Maryland, Baltimore County, USA

‘In a sweeping survey of theories, practices, and evidence, Norris provides a sobering evaluation of the prospects for local governmental cooperation in U.S. metropolitan regions. Clearly written, this valuable study highlights the obstacles to local governmental collaboration now and in the past. He shows why politics so often undermines local government efforts to work together to address important regional challenges.’

Paul Kantor, Fordham University, USA

Metropolitan government and metropolitan governance have been ongoing issues for more than sixty years in the United States. Based on an extensive survey and a review of existing literature, this book offers a comprehensive overview of these debates. It discusses how the centrifugal forces in local government, and in particular local government autonomy, have produced a highly fragmented governmental landscape throughout America. The book uncovers the extent of metropolitan government and governance, the possibility for its existence, what attempts (if any) have been made in the past, and the problems and issues that have arisen due to the lack of adequate metropolitan governance.



Mobility Patterns and Urban Structure Edited by Paulo Pinho and Cecília Silva, both at Oporto University, PortugalTRANSPORT AND MOBILITY

‘By contrasting the polycentric Greater Oporto with the monocentric Greater Copenhagen and examining both accessibility and travel behaviour, Pinho and Silva successfully make the case for why any policy for sustainable mobility must act on the key factor of urban structure.’

Carey Curtis, Curtin University, Australia

The research presented in this book highlights the relevance of centrality in travel behaviour and in more sustainable travel choices. Different operational forms of the centrality concept are revealed as important: it is shown that more sustainable travel can be influenced by several urban structure factors and that no particular combination is required as long as a certain level of centrality is provided. Finally, the book concludes that urban structure can, on one hand, constrain, and, on the other, influence travel choice.

The New American Suburb Poverty, Race and the Economic CrisisEdited by Katrin B. Anacker, George Mason University, Arlington, USA

‘Katrin Anacker and the authors advance detailed research into associations, causes, and consequences of diverse socio-economic and poverty trajectories affecting thousands of suburbs. The researchers explore important policy effects, such as urban containment policies, on suburban poverty, and whether urban sustainability policies can be implemented to increase equity among income and racial groups.’

William H. Lucy, University of Virginia, USA

The majority of Americans live in suburbs and until about a decade or so ago, most suburbs had been assumed to be non-Hispanic White, affluent, and without problems. However, recent data have shown that there are changing trends among U.S. suburbs. This book provides timely analyses of current suburban issues by utilizing recently published data from the 2010 Census and American Community Survey to address key themes including suburban poverty; racial and ethnic change and suburban decline; suburban foreclosures; and suburban policy.




Place-Based Evaluation for Integrated Land-Use Management Edited by Johan Woltjer, University of Westminster, UK, Ernest Alexander, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, USA, Angela Hull, Heriot-Watt University, UK and Matthias Ruth, Northeastern University, USA

‘There is a deep-seated tension between the intrinsically place-based nature of infrastructure projects and the generic ways in which they are often evaluated. As a result, potential conflicts and synergies between the projects and the local context risk being overlooked. This most timely book is both illuminating of these tensions, and rich in suggestions of how to overcome them.’

Luca Bertolini, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands

In recent years, there has been an increasing emphasis placed on local and regional integration in major planning projects and infrastructure development including roads, rail and waterways. This book brings together experts in the fields of spatial planning, land-use and infrastructure management to explore the emerging agenda of spatially-oriented integrated evaluation. It weaves together the latest theories, case studies, methods, policy and practice to examine and assess the values, impacts, benefits and the overall success in integrated land-use management. In doing so, the book clarifies the nature and roles of evaluation and puts forward guidance for future policy and practice.




Shopping Malls and Public Space in Modern China Nicholas Jewell, Associate Director, Ben Adams Architects and Tutor, Queen Mary University, London, England

‘This is a fascinating account of the emergence of Chinese shopping malls, explaining the evolution of architectural forms as well as peculiar contexts of cultural and consumption practices in China. Nicholas Jewell illuminates the social and spatial production of distinctive architecture in the Chinese consumerist society.’

Fulong Wu, University College London, UK

This volume addresses a less explored aspect of China’s urban rejuvenation – the prominence of the shopping mall as a keystone of its public spaces. Here, the presence of the built form most representative of Western capitalism’s excess is one that makes explicit the tensions between China’s Communist state and its ascent within the ‘free’ market. This book examines how these interrelationships are manifested in the culturally hybrid built form of the shopping mall and its role in contesting the ‘public’ space of the modern Chinese city.




Smart Evaluation and Integrated Design in Regional Development Territorial Scenarios in Trentino, ItalyEdited by Grazia Brunetta, Politecnico di Torino, Italy

‘This book proposes an interesting and innovative integration method, aimed at improving the integration of planning and evaluation, a topic currently arousing great interest. Particularly interesting and innovative is the relevance that the book attributes to a scenario analysis approach which employs models.’

Antonio Leone, Tuscia University, Italy

With an alternative approach to evaluation in spatial planning this book focuses on ‘territory’ and ‘landscape’ introducing an innovative evaluation approach, namely Territorial Integrated Evaluation (TIE), a meta-evaluation methodology for designing regional development scenarios. Trentino has a special need to harmonize economic development with the exceptional and internationally renowned value of its landscape which includes the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Therefore TIE set out to design regional development scenarios that integrated various topics – retail, tourism, infrastructures, nature and landscape.

Spatial Design Education New Directions for Pedagogy in Architecture and BeyondAshraf M. Salama, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK

‘As a professor who constantly looks to unlock the doors of innovative thought and practice in the studio-based classroom, this book, Spatial Design Education by Ashraf Salama, is the master key. Salama creates the convincing argument for pedagogical change and then systematically evaluates examples of current evolving paradigms that are making that change happen. If you want to be part of that change then this book should be your guide.’

Jeffrey Haase, The Ohio State University, USA

In this book, design education is dealt with as a paradigm whose evolutionary processes, underpinning theories, contents, methods, tools, are questioned and critically examined. Building on twenty-five years of research and explorations into design pedagogy in architecture and urban design, this book authoritatively offers a critical analysis of a continuously evolving profession, its associated societal processes and the way in which design education reacts to their demands. Innovative teaching practices in lecture-based and introductory design courses are identified and characterized including inquiry-based, active and experiential learning. These investigations are all interwoven to elucidate a comprehensive understanding of contemporary design education in architecture and allied disciplines.




Sustainable Railway Futures Issues and ChallengesEdited by Becky P.Y. Loo, University of Hong Kong, China and Claude Comtois, University of Montreal, CanadaTRANSPORT AND MOBILITY

‘Contributions covering passenger and freight, urban and inter-urban, and developed and developing systems, critically examine the geographic, environmental, social and environmental characteristics of a technology that, if not yet undergoing a full-blown renaissance, is very much alive and kicking.’

John Preston, University of Southampton, UK

This in-depth overview places the importance of railways in the wider context of comprehensive sustainability, which encompasses sustainable development, social and economic equity and community livability. Some scholars have described the 21st century as a period of renaissance for railways and suggest this transport mode can fulfil people’s desire for high mobility with low negative environmental, social, economic and financial impact. This book offers the latest research insights on the renewed interest about railway expansions and their wide-ranging environmental, socio-economic and even political implications.




Unbuilt Utopian Cities 1460 to 1900: Reconstructing their Architecture and Political Philosophy Tessa Morrison, The University of Newcastle, Australia

‘… Tessa Morrison’s approach is both scholarly and accessible. The illustrations are illuminating, and the historical context for the evolution of the ideas is explained. This challenges the reader to consider the utopian plans from the perspective of their creators, who were imagining the future, rather than analysing them with the benefit of hindsight.’

Lorna Davidson, Director, New Lanark Trust and Hon. Secretary of the Utopian Studies Society (Europe)

Bringing together ten utopian works that mark important points in the history and an evolution in social and political philosophies, this book not only reflects on the texts and their political philosophy and implications, but also, their architecture and how that architecture informs the political philosophy or social agenda that the author intended. Each of the ten authors expressed their theory through concepts of community and utopian architecture, but each featured an architectural solution at the centre of their social and political philosophy, as none of the cities were ever built, they have remained as utopian literature.






Understanding Innovation in Emerging Economic Spaces Global and Local Actors, Networks and EmbeddednessEdited by Grzegorz Micek, Jagiellonian University Kraków, PolandTHE DYNAMICS OF ECONOMIC SPACE

‘Recent decades have seen an exciting but somewhat perplexing proliferation of concepts describing innovation processes in space. This volume does an impressive job of evaluating this panoply of concepts and applying them to sectors rarely covered and places rarely visited by existing studies. As a diverse set of methodologically rigorous and richly illustrated studies, it will make an engaging read for students and scholars of innovation.’

Dariusz Wójcik, Oxford University, UK

A small number of countries, regions, cities, and localities are powerful gatekeepers and generate the bulk of creative and innovative ideas, while the majority is largely excluded. This book looks at neglected, but emerging innovation centres analysed from various spatial and organizational perspectives; ranging from entire countries and regions to individual firms and small neighbourhoods. Bringing together leading scholars from various disciplines, it examines a variety of economic sectors including biotechnology, agrotourism, and the food retail industry. The authors employ various, often contradictory, concepts, ranging from local buzz and the global pipeline, through an analysis of collective learning processes to geographical embeddedness, using both qualitative and quantitative approaches.




Urban China’s Rural Fringe Actors, dimensions and management challengesEdited by Giulio Verdini, Yiwen Wang and Xiaonan Zhang, all at Xi’an Jiaotong – Liverpool University, People’s Republic of China

This study offers an innovative overview of the urbanisation of China by focussing on the rural fringe and the centrality of its management in an attempt to ensure more sustainable paths of development. Challenging the current discourse on modernisation in China that focuses solely on the urban rather than the rural, this book provides insights into the current massive urbanisation that is taking place from a different angle. A re-conceptualisation of the rural dimensions of cities in a fast urbanising context equips practitioners, scholars and students with new analytical tools to observe an unprecedented and complex great urban transition.




Urban Constellations Spaces of Cultural Regeneration in Post-Industrial BritainZoë Thompson, Leeds Beckett University, UKTHEORY, TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY

‘Nobody concerned with the contemporary city can afford to ignore Urban Constellations. Its analyses of the dreamscapes of regeneration are timely, exacting, and critical in the best sense of that term; they are also deeply moving.’

Ben Highmore, University of Sussex, UK

This book investigates the iconic architectural cultural spaces of the contemporary cityscape as engines of regeneration. Promising much to their fading locales, these spaces locate culture in the space where production once ruled in order to revitalise post-industrial urban provinces. With close attention to four sites across the UK, Urban Constellations engages with the work of Walter Benjamin and Jean Baudrillard, to read these spaces and in so doing, offer a critical intervention into the theory and experience of contemporary cityscapes.




Ways of Residing in Transformation Interdisciplinary PerspectivesEdited by Sten Gromark, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, Mervi Ilmonen, Aalto University, Finland, Katrin Paadam, Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia and Eli Støa, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway

The volume brings together an interdisciplinary range of perspectives to reflect specifically upon the dynamic exchange between evolving ways of residing and professional practices in the fields of architecture and design, planning, policy-making, facilities management, property and market. In doing so, it provides a resourceful basis for further inquiries seeking an understanding of ways of residing in transformation as a reflection of diversifying residential cultures. This book will offer insights of interest to academics, policy-makers and professionals, as well as students of urban studies, sociology, architecture, housing, planning, business and economics, engineering and facilities management.
