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.

Reviewed by Jill Steward (School of Historical Studies, Newcastle University) Published on H-Urban (March, 2012) Commissioned by Alexander Vari Laboratories for Scrutinizing Modernity: Imperial Exhibitions The great world and imperial exhibitions of the second half of the nineteenth century, sometimes described as one of the era's most distinctive products, were made possible by innovative technologies in transport, building, and communication and given the oxygen of publicity by the world's media industries. An urban phenomenon, they were visible signs of the transnational mobility of people, goods, and information made possible by technical innovation, industrial development, and commercial enterprise. Supported by the press, they contributed to the dissemination of knowledge and information across national boundaries and encouraged economic and cultural transfers. They made an enormous contribution to the growth of urban tourism and the spread of new and distinctively modern forms of visual culture and mass entertainment. It is not surprising therefore, that exhibitions could be seen not only as indications of modernity, but also its catalysts and agents. As we contemplate the intense media excitement aroused by the mega-events of our own time, notably the Olympic Games (which were merely sideshows at the 1900 Exhibition Universelle in Paris and the 1908 Franco-British Exhibition), we can understand the impact made by their nineteenth-century predecessors on the public imagination by the "fleeting cities" of the title of Alexander Geppert's study of imperial exhibitions, an allusion to Baudelaire's characterization of modernity as a set of representational practices embracing "the ephemeral, the fugitive, the contingent," which involved the temporary occupation of acres of

La ville à domicile Mobilités et services L'IVM lance un nouveau programme intitulé la Ville à domicile. Mobilités et services. Aujourd'hui, l'image de la ville est encore dominée par celle d'individus qui se déplacent pour accéder aux aménités urbaines. En même temps se multiplient de nouvelles formes d'accessibilité aux différentes ressources qu'offre la ville (santé, information, culture, emploi, consommation, etc.). Les technologies de l'information et de la communication jouent un rôle essentiel dans ces reconfigurations. Les services à domicile se transforment, changent de nature ; de nouveaux marchés apparaissent. Quelle place tient la mobilité physique dans ces nouveaux dispositifs ? Qui sont les nouveaux acteurs ? Comment s'organisent les travailleurs urbains mobiles ? Quelles sont les attentes des consommateurs ou usagers qu'ils soient urbains, suburbains ou ruraux? Quels sont les obstacles, les contraintes et les difficultés pour construire un modèle économique adapté ? Programme Afin d'identifier ces enjeux, mieux comprendre les transformations à l'œuvre, imaginer des dispositifs innovants et construire des expérimentations, l'IVM réunit dans des cycles de séminaires aussi bien des chercheurs de disciplines variées que des représentants du monde associatif et de la prestation de services, ainsi que des entreprises et des collectivités locales acteurs de la ville et de ses services. ■ Séance inaugurale du groupe de travail : programme synthèse Paris, octobre 2009 ■ Séance "La ville à domicile, jusqu'où ?" : programme synthèse Paris, décembre 2009 ■ Séances « Les outils, sources d'optimisation des services à domicile » :  séance du 10 février 2010 programme séance du 31 mars 2010 programme Paris, février et mars 2010 ■ Séance « Emergences » : programme Paris, mai 2010 ■ Séance « En ville comme chez toi » : programme Paris, juin 2010 Une partie de l�

Sustainable City and Creativity: Promoting Creative Urban Initiatives Luigi Fusco Girard, Peter Nijkamp, Tuzin Baycan 0 Resenhas Ashgate Publishing, Ltd., 01/01/2012 - 400 páginas The notion of 'creative cities' - where cultural activities and creative and cultural industries play a crucial role in supporting urban creativity and contributing to the new creative economy - has become central to most regional and urban development strategies in recent years. A creative city is supposed to develop imaginative and innovative solutions to a range of social, economic and environmental problems: economic stagnancy, urban shrinkage, social segregation, global competition or more. Cities and regions around the world are trying to develop, facilitate or promote concentrations of creative, innovative and/or knowledge intensive industries in order to become more competitive. These places are seeking new strategies to combine economic development with quality of place that will increase economic productivity and encourage growth. Against this increasing interest in creative cities, this volume offers a coherent set of articles on sustainable and creative cities and addresses modern theories and concepts relating to research on sustainability and creativity. It analyzes principles and practices of the creative city for the formulation of policies and recommendations towards the sustainable city. It brings together leading academics with different approaches from different disciplines to provide a comprehensive and holistic overview of creativity and sustainability of the city, linking research and practice. In doing so, it puts forward ideas about stimulating the production of an innovative knowledge for a creative and sustainable city, and transforming a specific knowledge into a general-common knowledge, which suggests best future policy actions, decision-making processes and choices for the change towards a human sustainable development of the city

The Shrinking Cities International Research Network (SCiRN™) is a worldwide research consortium of scholars and experts from various institutions pursuing research on shrinking cities in a global context. SCiRN's mission is to advance international understanding and promote scholarship about population decrease in urban regions and urban decline, causes, manifestations, spatial variations, and effectiveness of policies and planning interventions to stave off decline. SCiRN™ was founded 2004 under the aegis of the Institute of Urban and Regional Development at the University of California, Berkeley. Here, scholars from various countries realised that although the decline of cities and urban regions was a common issue for urban planners in different local contexts, there was little comparative research on this topic.

Les politiques de la ville: intégration urbaine et cohésion sociale Ali Sedjari 0 Resenhas L'Harmattan, 2006

Portland, Oregon, is going through an apartment construction boom. Forty projects are underway, and 25 of them have no parking, according to Oregon Public Radio. No minimum parking requirements allows developers to increase density on sites and create more affordable units. "Parking a site is the difference between a $750 apartment and a $1,200 apartment. Or, the difference between apartments and condos," says Dave Mullens of the Urban Development Group. Most of the sites are in walkable neighborhoods well served by public transit. Yet in some parts of the city, parking-free projects are generating controversy, because residents fear more competition for on-street parking spaces. Streetsblog also reported this story.

La politique de la ville en Allemagne: vers un développement urbain durable 0 Resenhas OECD Publishing, 13/07/1999 - 108 páginas Depuis des années, l'Allemagne joue un rôle pionnier en matière de politique urbaine. Elle s'est fixé un objectif de développement urbain durable afin de relever l'ensemble des défis économiques, sociaux et environnementaux qui se posent aux villes. Des réponses politiques intégrées et des mesures novatrices ont été mises en place pour favoriser la revitalisation des centres-villes et faire face à la croissance des banlieues, à l'augmentation de la circulation automobile et au changement social. Cet ouvrage analyse ces initiatives à la lumière des traits spécifiques à l'Allemagne : système fédéral, processus d'unification et système urbain polycentrique. La politique de la ville est un instrument privilégié pour résoudre de nombreux problèmes dont l'ancrage est avant tout urbain et constitue, en tant que tel, une composante à part entière du développement durable. Au-delà des caractéristiques et des conclusions propres à l'Allemagne, cette étude plaide pour une approche multisectorielle intégrée et prospective, qui ne soit pas seulement guidée par une logique économique pure, mais apporte des éléments de réponses tangibles à cette question essentielle : quel type de villes souhaitons-nous pour l'avenir ?

What Americans Build and Why: Psychological Perspectives Ann Sloan Devlin 0 Resenhas Cambridge University Press, 31/05/2010 - 301 páginas What Americans Build and Why examines five areas of Americans' built environment: houses, healthcare facilities, schools, workplaces, and shopping environments. Synthesizing information from both academic journals and the popular press, the book looks at the relationships of size and scale to the way Americans live their lives and how their way of life is fundamentally shaped by the highway system, cheap land, and incentives. This book is timely because although Americans say they crave community, they continue to construct buildings, such as McMansions and big box stores, that make creating community a challenge. Furthermore, in many ways the movement toward teleworking, discussed in the chapter on office environments, also challenges the traditional place-based formation of community. Although focused on the United States, the book also includes reference to other parts of the world, especially regarding the retail environment.

The new urbanism: toward an architecture of community Peter Katz 7 Resenhas McGraw-Hill Professional, 1994 - 245 páginas The move to liveable communities--ideal ``small towns'' and neighborhoods where people work, live, play, and walk from place to place--is on.

Transforming traditional university structures for the knowledge economy through multidisciplinary institutes Simon Mosey, Mike Wright and Bart Clarysse* + Author Affiliations *Nottingham University Business School (SM) and Imperial College Business School, London (MW and BC) Address for correspondence: Simon Mosey, Nottingham University Business School, Jubilee Campus, Nottingham NG8 1BB, UK; email:simon.mosey@nottingham.ac.uk Received November 24, 2010. Accepted November 9, 2011. Abstract Within the UK considerable policy support has been provided to create multidisciplinary institutes that encourage academics to develop new knowledge for industry and societal problems. We consider four large traditional UK universities that have gained significant funding for such activities. We examine the changes in institutional structures necessary to enable universities to transform from single-discipline-based schools to multidisciplinary institutes. New incentives for working across schools, the cross-subsidy transfer of industry-funded research and teaching income, and senior role models are observed to enable the development of a multidisciplinary research capability. Yet, this capability is not easily sustained. It appears that for institutes to survive beyond the initial funding round, they regress towards traditional school activities of peer-reviewed research and teaching. We conclude that to transform academic behaviour, a fundamental shift in promotion procedures, which remain heavily weighted towards peer-reviewed journal publication within single disciplines, is required.
