The Routledge Companion to Urban Media and Communication

The Routledge Companion to Urban Media and Communication

The Routledge Companion to Urban Media and Communication traces central debates within the burgeoning interdisciplinary research on mediated cities and urban communication. The volume brings together diverse perspectives and global case studies to map key areas of research within media cultural and urban studies where a joint focus on communications and cities has made important innovations in how we understand urban space technology identity and community. Exploring the rise and growing complexity of urban media and communication as the next key theme for both urban and media studies the book gathers and reviews fast-developing knowledge on specific emergent phenomena such as: reading the city as symbol and text; understanding urban infrastructures as media (and vice-versa); the rise of global cities; urban and suburban media cultures: newspapers cinema radio television and the mobile phone; changing spaces and practices of urban consumption; the mediation of the neighbourhood community and diaspora; the centrality of culture to urban regeneration; communicative responses to urban crises such as racism poverty and pollution; the role of street art in the negotiation of ‘the right to the city’; city competition and urban branding; outdoor advertising; moving image architecture; ‘smart’/cyber urbanism; the emergence of Media City production spaces and clusters. Charting key debates and neglected connections between cities and media this book challenges what we know about contemporary urban living and introduces innovative frameworks for understanding cities media and their futures. As such it will be an essential resource for students and scholars of media and communication studies urban communication urban sociology urban planning and design architecture visual cultures urban geography art history politics cultural studies anthropology and cultural policy studies as well as those working with governmental agencies cultural foundations and institutes and policy think tanks.

Temporal Urban Design Temporality Rhythm and Place

Temporal Urban Design Temporality Rhythm and Place

Temporal Urban Design: Temporality Rhythm and Place examines an alternative design approach focusing on the temporal aesthetics of urban places and the importance of the sense of time and rhythm in the urban environment. The book departs from concerns on the acceleration of cities its impact on the urban quality of life and the liveability of urban spaces and questions on what influences the sense of time and how it expresses itself in the urban environment. From here it poses the questions: what time is this place and how do we design for it? It offers a new aesthetic perspective akin to music brings forward the methodological framework of urban place-rhythmanalysis and explores principles and modes of practice towards better temporal design quality in our cities. The book demonstrates that notions of time have long been intrinsic to planning and urban design research agendas and whilst learning from philosophy urban critical theory and both the natural and social sciences debate on time it argues for a shift in perspective towards the design of everyday urban time and place timescapes. Overall the book explores the value of the everyday sense of time and rhythmicity in the urban environment and discusses how urban designers can understand analyse and ultimately play a role in the creation of temporally unique both sensorial and affective places in the city. The book will be of interest to urban planners designers landscape architects and architects as well as urban geographers and all those researching within these disciplines. It will also interest students of planning urban design architecture urban studies and of urban planning and design theory. | Temporal Urban Design Temporality Rhythm and Place

Food and Nutrition Systems in Urban India Towards Disentitlement

Food and Nutrition Systems in Urban India Towards Disentitlement

This book explores identity-mediated dynamics of food and nutrition entitlement in urban India analysing concerns around equity access to food and public health. The issues of disentitlement and identity dynamics when it comes to nutrition and health are more intricate in the urban context due to a greater population and cultural diversity. While in the global north urban food planning is increasingly dependent on local government in developing countries urban nutrition is yet to be considered a serious policy issue. This book with a disaggregated analysis for urban India and an in-depth case study of Mumbai examines how malnutrition in India is becoming an urban challenge. It discusses how far caste religion and migratory identities serve as a source of deprivation and analyses the role of local governance particularly municipal governance and urban planning in facilitating the disentitlement. It also offers suggestions for the global south to reverse the stark inequality in its urban centres and address nutrition challenges by developing their own sustainable and resilient food systems. This book is an essential read for scholars and researchers of public health nutrition urban sociology urban planning development studies political sociology public policy and political studies. | Food and Nutrition Systems in Urban India Towards Disentitlement

Worker Mobility and Urban Policy in Latin America Policy Interactions and Urban Outcomes in Mexico City

Worker Mobility and Urban Policy in Latin America Policy Interactions and Urban Outcomes in Mexico City

This book argues that urban outcomes are better understood as the result of the interactions between policies from distinct policy domains rather than from any single policy silo. In doing so the book develops and applies the Policy Interactions Framework to the study of the mobility experience of workers in Greater Mexico City. Four empirical studies provide the reader with a comprehensive view of how urban policies can sometimes interact at cross-purposes to produce inequitable urban outcomes. The chapters analyze time and distance in the journey to work to quantify and map commuting inequalities assess the shift in the spatial location of the demand for labor between 1999 and 2019 examine the default housing pathways available for workers and evaluate the spatial distribution of public and common mobility resources. An outcome of applying the Policy Interactions Framework to the study of workers’ mobility is to put forward the choiceless mobility hypothesis: a process by which the interaction between the spatial location of the demand for labor the housing pathways available for workers and the political economy of public transport operates to produce geographies of low accessibility to jobs. The audience of this book consists of scholars and practitioners in the field of urban policy analysis urban development and urban political economy in the Global South. | Worker Mobility and Urban Policy in Latin America Policy Interactions and Urban Outcomes in Mexico City

Remaking Cities Urban Reforms in Ahmedabad and Kanpur India

Remaking Cities Urban Reforms in Ahmedabad and Kanpur India

This book presents a systematic analysis of the differential implementation of the urban reforms in two Indian cities Ahmedabad and Kanpur. It analyses the enactment of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) launched in 2005 by the Indian government which aimed to spatially reorient cities into market-friendly places across 65 cities but finished with only modest success. The volume discusses the specificities of urban governance systems colonial municipal histories and nationalist struggle in relation to urban planning and policy reforms to showcase how policies insensitive to these are likely to fail. It identifies historically constituted municipal capacity – located in the municipal organisation at the city level – as the key determinant of divergent trajectories of the spatial changes. The analysis demonstrates that in Ahmedabad the politics of the city was historically oriented towards peoples’ relationship with their spaces enabling a coherent municipal organisation. In the case of Kanpur however the local politics evolved in a way that the urban question remained unresolved which resulted in a fragmented municipal organisation. This variation in the architectures of municipal organisations in the two cities resulted in different levels of municipal capacities at the time of the inauguration of the JNNURM. A richly detailed case study on urban governance issues and development in Indian cities this book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of urban studies urban politics development studies social anthropology social history political science development studies public policy and governance urban sociology and South Asian studies. | Remaking Cities Urban Reforms in Ahmedabad and Kanpur India

Sverre Fehn and the City: Rethinking Architecture’s Urban Premises

Sverre Fehn and the City: Rethinking Architecture’s Urban Premises

The urban attentions of Pritzker Laureate Sverre Fehn (1924–2009) are extensive but as yet virtually unexplored. This book examines ten select projects to illuminate Fehn’s approach to the city the embodiment of that thinking in his designs and the broader lessons those efforts offer for better understanding the relationship between architecture and urban life with unignorable implications for emergent urban architecture and its address of sociological and ecological crises. Wary of large-scale planning proposals or the erasure of existing urban patterns Fehn offered an uncommon and profoundly vibrant approach to urbanism at the scale of the single architectural project. His writings constructed buildings competition entries and lectures suggest opportunities for reinvigorating architecture’s engagement with the city and provoke a rethinking of concepts foundational to its theorization. What is the nature of urbanity? What is the relationship of urbanity to the natural world? What is the role of architecture in the provision and sustenance of urban life? While exploring this territory will expand our knowledge of an architect central to key developments of late modernism the range of the book and the arguments developed therein delineate far broader aims: a fuller understanding of architecture’s urban promise. | Sverre Fehn and the City: Rethinking Architecture’s Urban Premises

Financing Urban Government in the Welfare State

Financing Urban Government in the Welfare State

First Published in 1980 Financing Urban Government in the Welfare State shows how intergovernmental structures have now become the main policy device designed for an earlier age and often for quite different purposes linking national and local policymaking. Special attention is given to the historical structures which now form the basis for national - local spending and investment decisions and which moderate the increasing interdependence of national and local decisions. The so called ‘crisis’ of urban spending has not emerged as a major problem but each country has sought to modify and adapt old bargaining procedures to the new needs and problems of local government. The manner in which this has been done reflects crucially important aspects of the political process in each country- Britain France the United States Germany and the Netherlands and does not follow the lines that might be suggested by economic deterministic thinking. Essentially each country must work out its historical and institutional compromise between the financial problems of national and local government with politics continuing to have an important explanatory role in understanding contemporary urban development. This is an interesting read for scholars and researchers of urban studies urban politics and public policy
