Book Synopsis Urban Development and Civil Society by : Michael Carley
Download or read book Urban Development and Civil Society written by Michael Carley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's population is rapidly urbanizing but the affluence and development often associated with cities are far from equitably or sustainably distributed. Where it was once taken for granted that responsibility for urban development lay with the state, increasingly the emphasis has shifted to market-driven and public-private sector initiatives, which can marginalize the intended beneficiaries - the urban poor - from decision making and implementation. This text outlines the essential conditions for effective urban planning and management by placing bottom-up community initiatives at the heart of the push for equitable and sustainable development in cities. Crucially, the state must engage with both the market and civil society in pursuit of sustainable cities. Presenting a wide-ranging selection of case studies in rapidly urbanizing and transitional countries, from the poorest parts of Africa and Asia to the relatively developed United Kingdom, the authors describe and analyze innovations in how globally disadvantaged urban communities can be engaged in improving their living environments.

Download or read book Funding Community Initiatives written by Silvina Arrossi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite four decades of development planning, at least one third of the urban population of Africa, Asia and Latin America remains poor. Over 600 million live in 'life and health threatening' homes and neighbourhoods because of poor housing and inadequate or no piped water, sanitation and health care. But even as the shortcomings of government and development programmes become more apparent, so do the untapped abilities of low-income groups and their community organizations to develop their own solutions. This book analyses the conditions necessary for successful community initiatives and includes case studies of 18 intermediary institutions (most of them Third World NGOs) who provide technical, legal and financial services to low-income households for constructing or improving housing. Many also work with community organizations in improving water, sanitation, drainage, health care and other community services. Through the analysis of innovative financial systems for income generation, house construction and service provision, Funding Community Initiatives considers the feasibility of loans for addressing current urban housing problems. It also considers how to increase greatly the scale and effectiveness of support going to low-income households and community organizations. This book will be of interest to students and professionals concerned with urban development in Africa, Asia and Latin America, especially those concerned with low income shelter and community finance.

Download or read book Co-Cities written by Sheila R. Foster and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2022-12-13 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new model of urban governance, mapping the route to a more equitable management of a city’s infrastructure and services. The majority of the world’s inhabitants live in cities, but even with the vast wealth and resources these cities generate, their most vulnerable populations live without adequate or affordable housing, safe water, healthy food, and other essentials. And yet, cities also often harbor the solutions to the inequalities they create, as this book makes clear. With examples drawn from cities worldwide, Co-Cities outlines practices, laws, and policies that are presently fostering innovation in the provision of urban services, spurring collaborative economies as a driver of local sustainable development, and promoting inclusive and equitable regeneration of blighted urban areas. Identifying core elements of these diverse efforts, Sheila R. Foster and Christian Iaione develop a framework for understanding how certain initiatives position local communities as key actors in the production, delivery, and management of urban assets or local resources. Within this framework, they explain the forms such initiatives increasingly take, like community land trusts, new kinds of co-housing, neighborhood cooperatives, community-shared broadband and energy networks, and new local offices focused on citizen science and civic imagination. The “Co-City” framework is uniquely rooted in the authors’ own decades-long research and first-hand experience working in cities around the world. Foster and Iaione offer their observations as “design principles”—adaptable to local context—to help guide further experimentation in building just and self-sustaining urban communities.

Book Synopsis Redeploying Urban Infrastructure by : Jonathan Rutherford
Download or read book Redeploying Urban Infrastructure written by Jonathan Rutherford and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-31 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores urban futures in the making, as seen through the lens of urban infrastructure. The book describes how socio-technical arrangements of energy and water provision are being recast in continuing efforts towards realising ‘sustainable’ transformation of cities. It critically investigates how infrastructure comes to matter by analyzing the shifting capacities and entanglements of diverse actors with these systems, the various means they use to envision, enact and contest changes, and the wide-ranging social and political implications of emerging infrastructure transitions. Drawing on original research into urban infrastructure debates and projects in Stockholm and Paris, the author develops a novel conceptual framework for studying and acknowledging the active, vital role of infrastructure in constituting a material politics of urban transformation. Straddling the latest theoretical insights and empirical investigation of urban planning practice and socio-technical engineering of systems and flows, Redeploying Urban Infrastructure forges new, timely reflections and perspectives which will be of interest to the growing multidisciplinary community of scholars investigating infrastructure and to academics and practitioners with a concern for understanding the wider politics of urban futures.

Book Synopsis Local Community Engagement in Urban Infrastructure Public-private Partnership: in Pursuit of Social Value by : Ulohomuno Afieroho

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engaging communities is crucial for understanding, identifying and mainstreaming social value outcomes in urban infrastructure Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs). Decision makers in the public policy arena increasingly describe an engaged community as key to the successful design and implementation of public-private partnerships. Despite this understanding, the "actual work and daily practice" of government tends to lurk behind most external stakeholder engagement research. The result is that the strategies used by the government to reimagine, and reconfigure the socio-political context and facilitate a transformational approach to community engagement are often ignored. Adopting a governmentality lens and a design science research method, this dissertation refocuses attention on the steering role of government as the dominant stakeholder in the engagement process. To do so, we explore the macro and micro dimensions of community engagement within the context of urban infrastructure, through a rich case context (Nigeria's socio#x2;political context) and an embedded case (the Lekki-Epe expressway). We then develop, validate, and evaluate a framework, grounded in the kernel theories of meta-organising and responsibilization, to provides theoretical and practical guidance for facilitating transformational community engagement and pursuing a social value agenda. The Nigerian context provides a useful context in this regard, since mobilizing private capital to address infrastructure deficits remains a formidable task for governments and policymakers. This situation is also common in most sub-Saharan African countries.
