Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue of Cityscape examines how social, economic, and technological changes pose immediate and long-term challenges and opportunities for cities and, as a consequence, for national urban policy. The authors? perspectives raise vital questions about the shape, substance, and function of urban and regional places in an increasingly interdependent and competitive global economy. They provide both retrospective and prospective insights into the ways in which poverty, immigration and migration, economic globalization, and technological innovation affect public-sector choices for urban communities approaching the turn of a new century. The central theme emerging from this collection of articles is that the responses of the past will not necessarily provide a path to the future. Cities must innovate and adapt when seeking solutions to problems caused by rapid changes in their environment. Flexibility and creativity are key to designing public policies to deconcentrate poverty, increase opportunity, and furnish a better quality of life. For example, the continuing loss of jobs and population in many large cities can be reversed only with public policies that profit from the emerging global economy. Cities must strategically adapt to the information age by mobilizing public and private resources to be successful in our new, highly competitive economic environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities for the New Millennium is the outcome of a joint conference held in Salford in July 2000 by the Royal Institute of British Architects and the University of Cambridge's Department of Architecture. It tackles these questions in the light of the Urban Task Force's report about the future of Britain's cities and communities, but sets them in an international and historical context. Professionals - architects, engineers and developers as well as academics from different countries and disciplines here lavish their expertise on issues of transportation, density, land use, risk and energy saving; others present urban-scale buildings or landscapes that have been judged inspirational or inventive. This book, therefore, is not just about theories of urbanism. It reveals how co-operation and debate between different parties and professions can illuminate the creative kind of urban development we should be aiming for.

Book excerpt: The process of urbanization has given new shapes to urban system & growth centers.Urbanization, urban system and growth centers are closely linked process. A study of these parameters throws light on many aspects of the urban development of the region.This research study has been very revealing from the point of geographical and social transformation in the field of urban systems.The distance between two cities is directly related to the tertiary services and population increase under particular environmental condition.Urban centers were increasing with time.Factors responsible for urbanization are migration, rivers, road density, road length etc. This analysis should be useful to assess the progress of urbanization to understand the nature and magnitude of the urban forces and processes operating in the region and to discern the pattern of urban growth itself. Such a study should be of assistance to also visualize the future prospects of urbanization. Scientific study of urbanization will help us in planning for the coming generation. It should be especially helpful to the town planners, administrators, managers and researchers in the field of urbanization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the economic and political structures of global market forces in the new millennium, No Excuses challenges urban Africa to become proficient in the skills necessary to survive in an ever-changing market economy. Such skills will require academic proficiency over verbal rhetoric, as the new market forces care little for social arguments grounded in historical transgressions of the past era. The shifting design of market interest retains one major goal: expanding the base of the market venues. This, Washington argues, is what African nations must understand.

This book was released on 2010-09-21 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the dawn of the third millennium, planet Earth entered a zone of turbulence. The 2008 crisis added economic uncertainty to the threat of global warming and extreme events such as droughts, floods and cyclones, the persisting crisis of p- erty and the spectrum of pandemics and terrorism. Against this global landscape in an era of fragility, cities, already sheltering more than half of humankind, appear as Janus-faced realities, the best and worst of places, vulnerable but still full of hope and will to overcome the crisis of societal values and progress in the path of susta- able development. This book addresses the most critical challenges for cities, humanity’s collective masterpieces in danger, and analyses breakthrough responses for sustainable dev- opment, a globalisation with human face and the transition to inclusive post carbon communities. The ultimate wish is that experts, city planners, decision-makers and citizens in search of sustainable cities could find here some sources of information and inspiration to enhance the immense possibilities of cities and embrace the best possible trajectories of change.

Book excerpt: This book brings together a concise statement of the process of urbanisation in 19 Asian countries, from Pakistan through Japan. It will present data on urbanisation for the past half century, with projections for the next quarter century. Each chapter is written by a recognised scholar on Asian urban and population dynamics. Since the book will provide a basic set of comparable data for all countries, and reflections on both the benefits and problems of urbanisation written by some of the region's best analysts, the editors believe it will be of wide interest to scholars and urban administrators throughout the region. It will also provide the basic statement on Asian urbanisation that will be relevant and in demand for the near future. The book is sponsored by the Asian Urban Information Center of Kobe (AUICK), which has sponsored comparative research and training on Asian urban issues since 1989.

This book was released on 2014-05-27 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The population of cities around the world is growing at an alarming rate, and as a result the landscapes of most cities are going through enormous changes. In particular, fertile agricultural lands at the periphery of cities are being developed without consideration of holistic planning. As such, peri-urban areas, zones of transition from rural to urban land uses located between the outer limits of the urban and the rural environment are experiencing significant losses of agricultural land, increased runoff, and water quality degradation. Concurrently, the demands for water, food and energy are increasing within cities, and unless a balance is struck the liveability of these cities will soon be compromised. The current water and land use changes have serious consequences on lifestyle, environment, health and overall well-being of urban communities. This book therefore helps readers to understand the current issues and challenges and examines suitable strategies and practices to cope with current and future pressures of urbanisation and peri-urban land-use changes. The book examines a number of critical aspects in relation to the future of cities and peri-urban regions, including the suitability of policies and institutions to sustain cities into the future; impact of current trends in land use change, population increase and water demand; long term planning needs and approaches to ensure the secured future for generations ahead; and strategies to adapt the cities and land uses so that they remain viable and liveable. The readership of the book will include policy makers, urban planners, researchers, post-graduate students in urban planning and environmental and water resources management and managers in municipal councils.

This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities have experienced an unprecedented rate of growth in the last decade. More than half the world's population lives in urban areas, with the U.S. percentage at 80 percent. Cities have captured more than 80 percent of the globe's economic activity and offered social mobility and economic prosperity to millions by clustering creative, innovative, and educated individuals and organizations. Clustering populations, however, can compound both positive and negative conditions, with many modern urban areas experiencing growing inequality, debility, and environmental degradation. The spread and continued growth of urban areas presents a number of concerns for a sustainable future, particularly if cities cannot adequately address the rise of poverty, hunger, resource consumption, and biodiversity loss in their borders. Intended as a comparative illustration of the types of urban sustainability pathways and subsequent lessons learned existing in urban areas, this study examines specific examples that cut across geographies and scales and that feature a range of urban sustainability challenges and opportunities for collaborative learning across metropolitan regions. It focuses on nine cities across the United States and Canada (Los Angeles, CA, New York City, NY, Philadelphia, PA, Pittsburgh, PA, Grand Rapids, MI, Flint, MI, Cedar Rapids, IA, Chattanooga, TN, and Vancouver, Canada), chosen to represent a variety of metropolitan regions, with consideration given to city size, proximity to coastal and other waterways, susceptibility to hazards, primary industry, and several other factors.
