Book Synopsis Sustainable Development Projects by : David R. Godschalk
Download or read book Sustainable Development Projects written by David R. Godschalk and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Development projects are the building blocks of urban growth. Put enough of the right projects together in the right way, and you have sustainable cities. But getting the pieces to stack up takes a feat of coordination and cooperation. In our market economy, developers, designers, and planners tend to operate in silos, each focused on its own piece of the puzzle. Sustainable Development Projects shows how these three groups can work together to build stronger cities. It starts with a blueprint for a development triad that balances sound economics, quality design, and the public good. A step-by-step description of the development process explains how and when planners can most effectively regulate new projects, while a glossary of real estate terms gives all the project participants a common language. Detailed scenarios apply the book’s principles to a trio of projects: rental apartments, greenfield housing, and mixed use infill. Readers can follow the projects from inception to finished product and see how different choices would result in different outcomes. This nuts-and-bolts guide urges planners, developers, and designers to break out of their silos and join forces to build more sustainable communities. It’s essential reading for practicing planners, real estate and design professionals, planning and zoning commissioners, elected officials, planning students, and everyone who cares about the future of cities.
Book Synopsis Urban Renewal, Community and Participation by : Julie Clark
Download or read book Urban Renewal, Community and Participation written by Julie Clark and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-02 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection investigates the human dimension of urban renewal, using a range of case studies from Africa, Asia, Europe, India and North America, to explore how the conception and delivery of regeneration initiatives can strengthen or undermine local communities. Ultimately aiming to understand how urban residents can successfully influence or manage change in their own communities, contributing authors interrogate the complex relationships between policy, planning, economic development, governance systems, history and urban morphology. Alongside more conventional methods, analytical approaches include built form analysis, participant observation, photographic analysis and urban labs. Appealing to upper level undergraduate and masters' students, academics and others involved in urban renewal, the book offers a rich combination of theoretical insight and empirical analysis, contributing to literature on gentrification, the right to the city, and community participation in neighbourhood change.
Book Synopsis Housing, Urban Renewal and Socio-Spatial Integration by : Xiaoxi Hui
Download or read book Housing, Urban Renewal and Socio-Spatial Integration written by Xiaoxi Hui and published by TU Delft. This book was released on 2013-02-07 with total page 799 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue of A+BE addresses two critical urban issues China faces today: housing and urban renewal. In the recent two decades, the Chinese urban housing stock underwent a significant, if not extreme, transformation. From 1949 to 1998, the urban housing stock in China largely depended on the public sector, and a large amount of public housing areas were developed under the socialistic public housing system in Beijing and other Chinese cities. Yet in 1998, a radical housing reform stopped this housing system. Thus, most of the public housing stock was privatized and the urban housing provision was conferred to the market. The radical housing privatization and marketization did not really resolve but intensified the housing problem. Along with the high-speed urbanization, the alienated, capitalized and speculative housing stock caused a series of social and spatial problems. The Chinese government therefore attempted to reestablish the social housing system in 2007. However, the unbalanced structure of the Chinese urban housing stock has not been considerably optimized and the housing problem is still one of the most critical challenges in China.

Book Synopsis Cultural Heritage as a Trigger for Civic Wealth Creation and Sustainable Urban Development by : Mara Del Baldo
Download or read book Cultural Heritage as a Trigger for Civic Wealth Creation and Sustainable Urban Development written by Mara Del Baldo and published by Roma TrE-Press. This book was released on 2023-06-30 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La rigenerazione urbana si basa su una visione integrata volta a risolvere i problemi urbani e a promuovere lo sviluppo delle comunità interessate. Reiventare lo spazio, valorizzare la cultura per dare nuova vita ai centri storici, è un’esigenza civica crescente e una sfida per i politici e i manager delle città. Questo obiettivo potrebbe essere raggiunto valorizzando il Patrimonio Culturale e i saperi locali per generare nuove opportunità e benessere per i cittadini. Al momento, troppo spesso il Patrimonio Culturale viene apprezzato principalmente a fini turistici. Un fatto che causa anche molteplici problemi: sovraffollamento, gentrificazione, conflitti tra interessi turistici e civici, traffico urbano, generazione di posti di lavoro a basso reddito, per citare solo i più evidenti. Ne deriva che una profonda comprensione della partecipazione civica e democratica nell'accesso, nella conservazione e nello sfruttamento del nostro Patrimonio Culturale è un terreno fertile per il dibattito tra studiosi di varie discipline. I contributi di questo libro cercano di alimentare tale dibattito dal punto di vista degli studiosi di management. DOI: 10.13134/979-12-5977-201-5

Book Synopsis Developmentalist Cities? Interrogating Urban Developmentalism in East Asia by :
Download or read book Developmentalist Cities? Interrogating Urban Developmentalism in East Asia written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-11-26 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developmentalist Cities addresses the missing urban story in research on East Asian developmentalism and the missing developmentalist story in studies of East Asian urbanization. It does so by promoting inter-disciplinary research into the subject of urban developmentalism: a term that editors Jamie Doucette and Bae-Gyoon Park use to highlight the particular nature of the urban as a site of and for developmentalist intervention. The contributors to this volume deepen this concept by examining the legacy of how Cold War and post-Cold War geopolitical economy, spaces of exception (from special zones to industrial districts), and diverse forms of expertise have helped produce urban space in East Asia. Contributors: Carolyn Cartier, Christina Kim Chilcote, Young Jin Choi, Jamie Doucette, Eli Friedman, Jim Glassman, Heidi Gottfried, Laam Hae, Jinn-yuh Hsu, Iam Chong Ip, Jin-Bum Jang, Soo-Hyun Kim, Jana M. Kleibert, Kah Wee Lee, Seung-Ook Lee, Christina Moon, Bae-Gyoon Park, Hyun Bang Shin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The powerful social and cultural transformations of recent decades as expressed in the shape and form of the city need to be examined and reviewed. New methods and procedures in urban planning and a new relationship between town and land are urgently required. Learning from China calls to mind that seminal work of the post-modern, Learning from Las Vegas, and relates the principles of Taoist thought and action to the perspectives for a new urban design beyond that of today, truly post modern.
Book Synopsis The Horizontal Skyscraper by : Bjørn B. Erring
Download or read book The Horizontal Skyscraper written by Bjørn B. Erring and published by Tapir Academic Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinese cities are undergoing profound changes. Urban development has transformed the townscape; low-rise structures based on courtyard type housing, horizontal in character, have been replaced by vertical constructions. In the 1980s and 1990s Chinese cities were featured by the conflicting wishes for rapid modernization and cultural continuity. The articles of this book refer to experiences drawn from this particular period of time, and are selected among case studies and related theoretical considerations. The case studies are concentrated on four cities: Beijing, Xi'an, Quanzhou and Shanghai. The authors have all been active in different fields of urban transformation in historic Chinese cities. They are politicians, historians, planners, anthropologists, architects and scholars. The articles describe the substantial transformation of the cities and the implications of this change. The contributing authors represent three countries; China, France and Norway. They all participated in two conferences in 1995 and 1996, dealing with urban renewal in housing areas of traditional Chinese cities. The outcome of these conferences constitute the raw material for this book.

Book Synopsis Where the Past meets the Future by : Leah Cheung Ah Li
Download or read book Where the Past meets the Future written by Leah Cheung Ah Li and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2019 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Xi'an, the former Chang'an - home to the terracotta army and capital to 13 dynasties of Chinese emperors - experienced World Heritage fame in 1987 when the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor was listed. In 2014, five more heritage sites in Xi'an were listed as part of the Silk Roads World Heritage nomination. The ancient capital represents glorious moments of Chinese history and local citizens are proud of Xi'an's archaeological and historical status. However, the modern cityscape is as much shaped by high rises as by historical buildings and heritage policies intersect with demands for urbanization, modernization, and economic growth. This book seeks to understand how modernity, history, and heritage are reconciled in this city where the past meets the future.
Download or read book Sense of Place written by Sean O'Leary and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2014-10-06 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern Irish planning system was introduced on 1 October 1964, when the Local Government (Planning and Development) Act, 1963 came into force ‘to make provision, in the interests of the common good, for the proper planning and development of cities, towns and other areas’. Given the popular image of a post-Celtic-Tiger landscape haunted by ghost estates, ongoing efforts to address the notoriety of some public housing schemes and the fall-out from a planning corruption tribunal which spanned fifteen years, the time is ripe for reflection and analysis on the successes, innovations and failures of the Irish planning system.This book traces the evolution of land-use planning in Ireland from early settlements to the present day and discusses its role in meeting social, environmental and economic challenges and opportunities.
