Book Synopsis Urban Planning in the Third World by : Madhu Sarin
Download or read book Urban Planning in the Third World written by Madhu Sarin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-11 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1982 Urban Planning in the Third World is concerned with some of the critical issues underlying urban planning in the Third World. Taking the specific case of Chandigarh, planned or rather ‘designed’ by Le Corbusier as the new capital of Punjab following Partition, the author describes the development of the city, showing how concepts inherent in the master plan and the policies pursued in its implementation not merely ignored, but totally excluded a major section of the population from ‘legal’ housing and employment. The book sets a distinct theoretical framework, examining the Indian context at the time of Independence, the Western origins of the planning concepts applied in the city, and the process by which Le Corbusier finalized its master plan in a matter of days. The book also examines the social forces determining the temporary resolution of inherent conflicts in the plan and examines the growth of non-plan settlements in the city and the impact of the plan on the lives of the settlement residents.
Book Synopsis Urban Development and New Towns in the Third World by : Alain R. A. Jacquemin
Download or read book Urban Development and New Towns in the Third World written by Alain R. A. Jacquemin and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-12 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, this volume examines India and Bombay, countries which represent some of the world's most dramatic examples of rapid urban growth. One of the strategies frequently adopted by the Indian authorities to cope with this urban growth is the development of new towns, such as New Bombay, which is India's largest and most significant urban planning experience since Independence. The New Bombay model, based on a specific planning and financing strategy, is considered highly successful and so is increasingly being copied and implemented in other urban areas of India. This volume makes the first independent evaluation of New Bombay and sets it in a wider Third World urban development context. As well as analysing the processes of physical and economic growth, the volume also examines the process of social development and, in particular, the consequences of this planning concept for the urban poor.

Book Synopsis Third World Urbanization by : J. Abu-Lughod
Download or read book Third World Urbanization written by J. Abu-Lughod and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 2006. Despite the growing significance of the Third World and the critical nature of its urbanization, there are few synthetic books covering more than one region of the Third World which can be used either by scholars seeking an overview of the process of world urbanization or by students in the growing number of courses now being offered in the field of comparative urbanism. The most distressing problem was that the field of urbanization, particularly with reference to developing countries, seemed to us to have stagnated at theoretically-sterile conceptualizations or, even worse, had deteriorated into fragmented empirical-descriptive reports, whether observing with sympathy or noting with alarm the rapidly declining condition of individual cities. This book attempts to rectify this deficiency.
Book Synopsis Urban Planning in the Global South by : Richard de Satgé
Download or read book Urban Planning in the Global South written by Richard de Satgé and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the on-going crisis of informality in rapidly growing cities of the global South. The authors offer a Southern perspective on planning theory, explaining how the concept of conflicting rationalities complements and expands upon a theoretical tradition which still primarily speaks to global ‘Northern’ audiences. De Satgé and Watson posit that a significant change is needed in the makeup of urban planning theory and practice – requiring an understanding of the ‘conflict of rationalities’ between state planning and those struggling to survive in urban informal settlements – for social conditions to improve in the global South. Ethnography, as illustrated in the book’s case study – Langa, a township in Cape Town, South Africa – is used to arrive at this conclusion. The authors are thus able to demonstrate how power and conflict between the ambitions of state planners and shack-dwellers, attempting to survive in a resource-poor context, have permeated and shaped all state–society engagement in this planning process.
Book Synopsis Problems and Planning in Third World Cities (Routledge Revivals) by : Michael Pacione

This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When this title was first published in 1981, growing concern for the future of cities and those who inhabited them, stimulated by trends in global urbanisation, had resulted in much emphasis being placed on a problem-solving approach to the study of the city. The chapters in this edited collection, a companion to Urban Problems and Planning in the Developed World (Routledge Revivals, 2013), consider the problems and planning activities in a number of cities across the world. Varied case-studies, including Mexico City, Bogota and Shanghai, reflect the differing economic, cultural and political regimes of the modern world and ensure the continued value of this comprehensive work.

Book Synopsis Urbanisation and Planning in the Third World by : Robert Potter
Download or read book Urbanisation and Planning in the Third World written by Robert Potter and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2012-08-06 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1985, this book reconsiders the whole question of urbanisation and planning in the Third World. It argues that public involvement, which is now an accepted part of Western planning, should be used more in Third World cities. It shows that many inhabitants of Third World cities are migrants from rural areas and have very definite ideas about what the function of the city should be and what it ought to offer; and it goes on to argue that therefore a planning process which involves more public participation would better serve local needs and would do much more to solve problems than the contemporary approach.
Book Synopsis Urban Transport in the Developing World by : Harry T. Dimitriou

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policy-making for urban transport and planning of economies in the developing world present major challenges for countries facing rapid urbanisation and rampant motorisation, alongside growing commitments to sustainability. These challenges include: coping with financial deficits, providing for the poor, dealing meaningfully with global warming and energy shortages, addressing traffic congestion and related land use issues, adopting green technologies and adjusting equitably to the impacts of globalisation. This book presents a contemporary analysis of these challenges and new workable responses to the urban transport problems they spawn.

Book Synopsis Rural-Urban Interaction in the Developing World by : Kenny Lynch
Download or read book Rural-Urban Interaction in the Developing World written by Kenny Lynch and published by Presbyterian Publishing Corp. This book was released on 2004-09-15 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustaining the rural and urban populations of the developing world has been identified as a key global challenge for the twenty-first century. Rural-Urban Interaction in the Developing World is an introduction to the relationships between rural and urban places in the developing world and shows that not all their aspects are as obvious as migration from country to city. There is now a growing realization that rural-urban relations are far more complex. Using a wealth of student-friendly features including boxed case studies, discussion questions and annotated guides to further reading, this innovative book places rural-urban interactions within a broader context, thus promoting a clearer understanding of the opportunities, as well as the challenges, that rural-urban interactions represent.
