Urban Dynamics in the Post-pandemic Period: Tourist Spaces and Urban Centres

Urban Dynamics in the Post-pandemic Period: Tourist Spaces and Urban Centres by Enrique Navarro-Jurado, Remedios Larrubia Vargas, Fernando Almeida-García, Juan José Natera Rivas
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 368 Pages | ISBN : 3031360168 | 68.9 MB

This book offers a unique perspective on urban processes affecting tourist spaces and city centres. Economic, social and environmental uncertainty has been commonplace since March 2019, when mobility slowed down across the globe. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated trends that have been investigated in urban space for years. The incorporation of technologies, the expansion of tourism and the introduction of policies that in part want to advance sustainability are generating processes of reorganisation of territories that are driving changes. These changes will affect models of city, urbanism and society.

Assembling Nusantara: Mimicry, Friction, and Resonance in the New Capital Development

Assembling Nusantara: Mimicry, Friction, and Resonance in the New Capital Development by Henny Warsilah, Lilis Mulyani, Ivan Kurniawan Nasution
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 289 Pages | ISBN : 9819935326 | 24.2 MB

Today, the new Indonesian capital city, Nusantara, planning is being anticipated as “representing national identity,” “a model city,” or “a gift to the world,” and many other extraordinary labels. This book examines the reality of an ongoing developmental transformation of the Nusantara beyond those labels. It approaches its assemblage of humans, their works (plans, documents, policies, and others), non-human objects (biodiversity, landscape, geography, physical infrastructure, buildings, and public spaces), processes, social relationships, social infrastructures, and others. It is organized into three themes—mimicry, friction, and resonance. The mimicry illustrates the similarities (and differences) between Nusantara and other capital cities in urban narratives, imageries, and forms. The friction studies how Nusantara moves actors who do not always agree, processes that do not always align or collaboration between diverse contradicting groups that intersect.

European Narratives on Remote Working and Coworking During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Multidisciplinary Perspective

European Narratives on Remote Working and Coworking During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Multidisciplinary Perspective by Mina Akhavan, Marco Hölzel, Divya Leducq
English | PDF EPUB | 2023 | 153 Pages | ISBN : 3031260171 | 16 MB

This book offers a multidisciplinary and comprehensive perspective regarding the immediate and long-term effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on coworking spaces in the European Region. The current pandemic has imposed several effects on work and spaces for work. Some are immediate effects and will last for a short time (such as the closing down of the space), some will last longer (namely, the reorganisation of the space to meet the physical distancing), and some will stay for a long time (remote working and hybrid working). Although the literature on coworking spaces and the effects of the pandemic is growing fast, empirical studies are yet limited. Within this context, this book seeks a twofold aim: (i) to contribute to the fast-growing literature on coworking space and their effects at different scales; (ii) to present a multidisciplinary perspective about the effects of the yet-lasting Corona-pandemic effects on the patterns of remote working and consequently on coworking spaces, as the most diffused form of new working spaces.

Linear Planning to Reduce Regional Inequality: A Theoretical Review and the Case of the Way of St. James

Linear Planning to Reduce Regional Inequality: A Theoretical Review and the Case of the Way of St. James

Linear Planning to Reduce Regional Inequality: A Theoretical Review and the Case of the Way of St. James by Rossella Moscarelli
English | PDF,EPUB | 2023 | 134 Pages | ISBN : 3031292820 | 27.2 MB

This book explores the advantages of a linear model of planning in reducing regional inequalities. Linear planning, commonly discussed in the past as a method which plans the development of the city, is completely redefined here in the form of a design approach inspired by projects shaped by linear routes, such as cycle or walking paths. Such concept is applied to the urgent topic of territorial marginality which specifically neglects rural and mountainous areas and recently is coped by European and National policies. The analysis of these policies demonstrates the necessity of alternative strategies equipped to deal with both the internal and external causes that determine the critical conditions in these fragile environments. By implementing the concept of linear planning in these contexts, this book proposes to enlarge the perspective of traditional policies contrasting the regional inequalities that usually determine the design of projects just within the boundaries of the marginal areas.

A Theory of Housing Provision under Capitalism

A Theory of Housing Provision under Capitalism by Mike Berry
English | PDF,EPUB | 2023 | 254 Pages | ISBN : 3031244702 | 5 MB

This book provides the first coherent Marxist analysis of the central importance of housing in the social reproduction of capitalism as a whole. Rather than consigning housing to the sidelines, Berry argues that the circulation of capital and revenues though housing and the built environment helps explain how the capital-labour relation constrains housing outcomes while also being reproduced on an extended scale. He shows how housing is provided by the intervention of building, property and interest-bearing capital fractions; how the land question can be explained by a theory of urban land rent, drawing on Marx's categories of differential and monopoly rent; how housing is vital to the extended reproduction of labour power, while also creating a semi-separate sphere of 'home' in which gender and demographic factors overlay and accentuate social class position. The modes, impact and drivers of state intervention in housing provision are seen to modify the patterns and pace of capital circulation through housing and the urban built environment with implications for shifts in class fragmentation and power relations.

Placemaking for Green Urban Regeneration

Placemaking for Green Urban Regeneration by Israa Hanafi Mahmoud
English | EPUB | 2022 | 199 Pages | ISBN : 303115407X | 80.9 MB

This book investigates the dynamics and the role of green urban regeneration using nature-based solutions (NBS) in contributing to the cultural aspects of public spaces. In the first part of the book, insights on analytical methods, planning strategies and shared governance examples are given, as well as, an assessment tool, namely public space index (PSI), is given for successfully measuring sociability impact while using a placemaking approach to green urban regeneration processes. In the second part, the case study (Rose Kennedy Greenway of Boston, MA, USA) has been extensively researched during many years of observations and analysis which gives a realistic taste of the implementation of the proposed PSI. The book’s last part reflects on PSI to measure its adaptability and replicability in other contexts, whereas NBS are playing a major role in physical and spatial green urban regeneration in current cities contexts’.
