ECONOMIA URBANA

Urban Planning And Real Estate Development John Ratcliffe, Michael Stubbs, Miles Keeping 0 Resenhas Taylor & Francis, 06/03/2009 - 704 páginas The twin processes of planning and property development are inextricably linked " it "s not possible to carry out a development strategy without an understanding of the planning process, and equally planners need to know how real estate developers do their job. This third edition of Urban Planning and Real Estate Development guides students through the procedural and practical aspects of developing land from the point of view of both planner and developer. The planning system is explained, from the increasing emphasis on spatial planning at a regional level down to the detailed perspective of the development control process and the specialist requirements of historic buildings and conservation areas. At the same time the authors explain the entire development process from inception through appraisal, valuation and financing to completion and disposal. This is an invaluable textbook for real estate and planning students, and helps to meet the requirements of the RICS and RTPI Assessment of Professional Competence.

Subprime Cities: The Political Economy of Mortgage Markets Entrada x  Manuel Aalbers m.b.aalbers@gmail.com 06:52 (13 horas atrás) para URBGEOG  Dear colleagues,   Last month the book "Subprime Cities: The Political Economy of Mortgage Markets" was published: http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-1444337777.html   It's an edited volume with contributions from human geographers, urban sociologists and political economists. It features a foreword by David Harvey and contributions by Saskia Sassen, Elvin Wyly, Kathe Newman and many others. Besides an introduction and conclusion, the book consists of two major parts, the first dealing with "The Political Economy of the Mortgage Market" and the second with "Cities, Race, and the Subprime Crisis". Several chapters focus on the U.S., while others focus on the U.K., the E.U. and global perspectives. Please find the table of contents and the two back cover reviews below. You can find a sample chapter (pdf) online.   There are paperback, hardcover and e-book editions available. The paperback edition is reasonably prices. I hope you will also consider this book for teaching purposes.   Best wishes, Manuel -- Manuel B. Aalbers, Ph.D. University of Amsterdam  Department of Geography, Planning and International Development Studies Nieuwe Prinsengracht 130  1018 VZ  Amsterdam The Netherlands http://home.medewerker.uva.nl/m.b.aalbers/       "There has, prior to the publication of this book on Subprime Cities, been very little concern for examining and interpreting this sequence of events and explaining the role of urbanization and financialization (along with rent-seeking) in this whole dynamic. What this book does is to begin upon the complex task of exploring and explaining the urban roots of crisis formation in general and of the dynamics of the most recent crisis in particular. We have here an astonishing and revelatory understanding of the urban roots of the fiscal crisis." -

David Harvey propõe retomada de espaços públicos nas cidades Em entrevista ao programa Democracy Now, o geógrafo David Harvey fala sobre os desafios colocados para os trabalhadores neste 1º de maio e para os novos movimentos sociais nos Estados Unidos, na Europa, no Oriente Médio, África e outras regiões. Harvey destaca a eclosão do direitos das cidades, a mobilização das comunidades em defesa da reocupação de espaços públicos que já foram seus. Em Nova York, exemplifica, o espaço público não é verdadeiramento aberto ao público. Amy Goodman - Democracy Now (*) O teor da entrevista de Harvey está transcrito (editado) abaixo em português. AMY GOODMAN: Terça-feira é 1º de maio, também conhecido como Dia Internacional dos Trabalhadores, um feriado em que se celebra os direitos e as conquistas dos trabalhadores organizados, como a jornada de oito horas. Este ano, a campanha do Ocupe Wall Street espera mobilizar dezenas de milhares de pessoas ao redor do país com o slogan "Greve Geral. Sem Trabalho. Sem compras. Ocupe em toda parte". São planejados eventos em 125 cidades. A campanha Ocupe planeja protestar em 99 alvos só em Manhattan, inclusive nos escritórios do JP Morgan Chase e Bank of America. Na última quinta os ativistas se reuniram no Parque Union na cidade de Nova York para anunciar os planos dos protestos massivos para o Primeiro de Maio, incluindo grupos de imigrantes, trabalhadores sindicalizados, membros do Ocupe Wall Street. Bem, para falar mais a respeito do Primeiro de Maio e da campanha Ocupe, estamos hoje com o professor de antropologia David Harvey, do Graduate Center da Universidade da Universidade da Cidade de Nova York. Ele vem dando aulas sobre O Capital, de Karl Marx, há quase 40 anos, é autor de uma série de livros, incluindo Os Limites do Capital e Uma Breve História do Neoliberalismo. Seu livro mais recente se chama Cidades Rebelde: do direito às cidades à Revolução Urbana. Explique, David Harvey.
