Book Synopsis Under Construction by : Freek Colombijn
Download or read book Under Construction written by Freek Colombijn and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-11-29 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freek Colombijn examines the social changes in Indonesian cities during the process of decolonization. That process had major repercussions for urban society. These social changes are studied from the angle of urban space in general, and the provision of housing in particular. This provides fresh insight into how people experienced decolonization. The author challenges the idea that a shift from ethnic to class differences was the overriding social change during decolonization. He argues instead that class differences had already formed the predominant dividing lines in colonial urban society. Colombijn also focuses on the shifting balance of power between the main agents in the urban arena. Through the use of hitherto unused historical sources, the book presents a wealth of new data about the Indonesian city and the decolonization process. Published in cooperation with the Netherlands Institute of War Documentation (NIOD). Originally published with imprint KITLV (ISBN 9789067182911).
Book Synopsis Behind the Postcolonial by : Abidin Kusno
Download or read book Behind the Postcolonial written by Abidin Kusno and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Behind the Postcolonial Abidin Kusno shows how colonial representations have been revived and rearticulated in postcolonial Indonesia. The book shows how architecture and urban space can be seen, both historically and theoretically, as representations of political and cultural tendencies that characterize an emerging as well as a declining social order. It addresses the complex interactions between public memories of the present and past, between images of global urban cultures and the concrete historical meanings of the local. It shows how one might write a political history of postcolonial architecture and urban space that recognizes the political cultures of the present without neglecting the importance of the colonial past. In the process, it poses serious questions for the analysis and understanding of postcolonial states.
Book Synopsis Iconic Planned Communities and the Challenge of Change by : Mary Corbin Sies
Download or read book Iconic Planned Communities and the Challenge of Change written by Mary Corbin Sies and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2019-08-23 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the history of planning, the design of an entire community prior to its construction is among the oldest traditions. Iconic Planned Communities and the Challenge of Change explores the twenty-first-century fortunes of planned communities around the world. Drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives, the editors and contributors examine what happened to planned communities after their glory days had passed and they became vulnerable to pressures of growth, change, and even decline. Beginning with Robert Owen's industrial village in Scotland and concluding with Robert Davis's neotraditional resort haven in Florida, this book documents the effort to translate optimal design into sustaining a common life that works for changing circumstances and new generations of residents. Basing their approach on historical research and practical, on-the-ground considerations, the essayists argue that preservation efforts succeed best when they build upon foundational planning principles, address landscape, architecture, and social engineering together, and respect the spirit of place. Presenting twenty-three case studies located in six continents, each contributor considers how to preserve the spirit of the community and its key design elements, and the ways in which those elements can be adapted to contemporary circumstances and changing demographics. Iconic Planned Communities and the Challenge of Change espouses strategies to achieve critical resilience and emphasizes the vital connection between heritage preservation, equitable sharing of the benefits of living in these carefully designed places, and sustainable development.

Book Synopsis Colonial Pasts, Future Cities by : Lauren Yapp
Download or read book Colonial Pasts, Future Cities written by Lauren Yapp and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In cities across Indonesia, the tangible traces of Dutch colonial rule are drawing the attention of an eclectic group of academics, activists, and artists, who now advocate vigorously for these crumbling buildings and aging infrastructures to be treasured as "heritage." This dissertation explores this emergent phenomenon, which I term "urban heritage advocacy, " as one that can offer critical insights into wider debates regarding colonialism and postcolonialism, urban development and urban governance, and the political and social sea-changes that post-Reformasi Indonesia has undergone since the fall of authoritarian rule in 1998. Drawing upon extensive ethnographic fieldwork in Semarang, Central Java, urban heritage advocacy is shown here to shape not only the material fabric of the neighborhoods now designated as heritage sites, but also to produce new forms of citizenship, re-negotiate the relationship between civil society and state authority, and profoundly impact the lives of the city's most marginalized inhabitants. Throughout, I argue that heritage furnishes Indonesia's newly-energized middle-classes with the opportunity and means to order and re-order the world around them, while also constraining the lives and livelihoods of the urban poor with whom they share this rapidly-changing cityscape.

Book Synopsis Routledge Handbook of Urban Indonesia by : Sonia Roitman
Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Urban Indonesia written by Sonia Roitman and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook focuses on the practices, initiatives, and innovations of urban planning in response to the rapid urbanisation in Indonesian cities. The book provides rigorous evidence of planning Indonesian cities of different sizes. Indonesia, the world’s fourth most populous country, is increasingly urbanising. Through the lens of the Sustainable Development Goals, chapters examine specific policies and projects and analyse 19 cities, ranging from a megacity of over ten million residents to metropolitan cities, large cities, medium cities, and small cities in Indonesia. The handbook provides a diverse view of urban conditions in the country. Discussing current trends and challenges in urban planning and development in Indonesia, it covers a wide range of topics organised into five main themes: Indonesian planning context; informality, insurgency, and social inclusion; design, spatial, and economic practices; creative and innovative practices; and urban sustainability and resilience. Written by 64 established and emerging scholars from Indonesia and overseas, this handbook is an invaluable resource to academics working on Urban Studies, Development Studies, Asian and Southeast Studies as well as to policy-makers in Indonesia and in other cities of the Global South.
Book Synopsis Cultural Heritage and Urban Conservation in Indonesia by : Putu Agustiananda
Download or read book Cultural Heritage and Urban Conservation in Indonesia written by Putu Agustiananda and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-02 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid urban development has put great pressures on city's historic structures and areas. The complexity of the current situations necessitates an integrated urban conservation in order to maintain the character and identity of the city. This book deals primarily with cultural heritage and urban conservation in Indonesia, by taking the city of Surakarta as a case study. It initially demonstrates the values that the city has as the basis for conservation. As a past evaluation, it shows how the local authority policies had acknowledged its culture and tourism as important aspects for development since the early independence period until now. Then, as present assessment, it attempts to explore urban development and conservation policies as well as conservation plan and practice of the Municipality. This book also tries to investigate current situations of cultural heritage and urban conservation through stakeholder and problem identification. As future choices, it addresses several scenarios and strategies for the future, what needs to be done and how to go about it.

Book Synopsis The Appearances of Memory by : Abidin Kusno
Download or read book The Appearances of Memory written by Abidin Kusno and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2010-02-25 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Appearances of Memory, the Indonesian architectural and urban historian Abidin Kusno explores the connections between the built environment and political consciousness in Indonesia during the colonial and postcolonial eras. Focusing primarily on Jakarta, he describes how perceptions of the past, anxieties about the rapid pace of change in the present, and hopes for the future have been embodied in architecture and urban space at different historical moments. He argues that the built environment serves as a reminder of the practices of the past and an instantiation of the desire to remake oneself within, as well as beyond, one’s particular time and place. Addressing developments in Indonesia since the fall of President Suharto’s regime in 1998, Kusno delves into such topics as the domestication of traumatic violence and the restoration of order in the urban space, the intense interest in urban history in contemporary Indonesia, and the implications of “superblocks,” large urban complexes consisting of residences, offices, shops, and entertainment venues. Moving farther back in time, he examines how Indonesian architects reinvented colonial architectural styles to challenge the political culture of the state, how colonial structures such as railway and commercial buildings created a new, politically charged cognitive map of cities in Java in the early twentieth century, and how the Dutch, in attempting to quell dissent, imposed a distinctive urban visual order in the 1930s. Finally, the present and the past meet in his long-term considerations of how Java has responded to the global flow of Islamic architecture, and how the meanings of Indonesian gatehouses have changed and persisted over time. The Appearances of Memory is a pioneering look at the roles of architecture and urban development in Indonesia’s ongoing efforts to move forward.
Book Synopsis Going Beyond by : Marie-Theres Albert
Download or read book Going Beyond written by Marie-Theres Albert and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume looks at sustainable protection and sustainable use of cultural and natural heritage, particularly in view of the current challenges of the 21st century. For more than 40 years the World Heritage Convention has regulated the protection of the cultural and natural heritage of humankind, particularly in that heritage shall be protected if it is threatened by modern development. The international community has also adopted sustainability and sustainable development, as objectives to facilitate the protection of cultural and natural heritage. Sustainable heritage protection and use must therefore be preserved in the face of the global challenges it faces and must be perceived in terms of societal, political and corresponding economic paradigms.
Book Synopsis Sites, Bodies and Stories by : Susan Legêne
Download or read book Sites, Bodies and Stories written by Susan Legêne and published by NUS Press. This book was released on 2015-06-22 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sites, Bodies and Stories examines the intimate links between history and heritage as they have developed in postcolonial Indonesia. Sites discussed in the book include Borobudur in Central Java, a village in Flores built around megalithic formations, and ancestral houses in Alor. Bodies refers to legacies of physical anthropology, exhibition practices and Hollywood movies. The Stories are accounts of the Mambesak movement in Papua, the inclusion of wayang puppetry in UNESCO s List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, and subaltern history as written by the people of Blambangan in their search for national heroes. Throughout the book, citizenship entitlement figures as a leitmotif in heritage initiatives. Contemporary heritage formation in Indonesia is intrinsically linked to a canon of Indonesian art and culture developed during Dutch colonial rule, institutionalized within Indonesia's heritage infrastructure and in the Netherlands, and echoed in museums and exhibitions throughout the world. The authors in this volume acknowledge colonial legacies but argue against a colonial determinism, considering instead how contemporary heritage initiatives can lead to new interpretations of the past.
Book Synopsis Cultural Landscape Management at Borobudur, Indonesia by : Masanori Nagaoka
Download or read book Cultural Landscape Management at Borobudur, Indonesia written by Masanori Nagaoka and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-22 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume investigates a historical account of the development of landscapes management at Borobudur. In the 1970s and 1980s, there was large scale heritage conservation intervention of the Borobudur Temple by UNESCO and a simultaneous attempt of a wider landscapes management at Borobudur. But in the late 1980s and early 1990s, a global heritage discourse of an enlarged value system emerged. This discourse embraced issues such as cultural landscape, living history, intangible values, vernacular heritage, and urban landscapes with community involvement. The early 1990s saw a move against the European-dominated discourse of heritage as well as the concept of authenticity in the World Heritage system and other European-oriented classifications. The Asian experience in heritage discourse has begun to have a significant impact on the European standard. Additionally, in the 1990s, there was a gradual recognition of the concept of cultural landscape, which differed both within Asia and between Asia and Europe. These different ideas are evident in the case of the Borobudur Temple and its 1991 nomination to the World Heritage List. This book focuses how the management of the Borobudur historical monument and its landscapes was developed and reached current exclusive national legislative framework and set as an example for others sites in the region and for other regions to consider.
