Urban Biodiversity From Research to Practice

Urban Biodiversity From Research to Practice

Urban biodiversity is an increasingly popular topic among researchers. Worldwide thousands of research projects are unravelling how urbanisation impacts the biodiversity of cities and towns as well as its benefits for people and the environment through ecosystem services. Exciting scientific discoveries are made on a daily basis. However researchers often lack time and opportunity to communicate these findings to the community and those in charge of managing planning and designing for urban biodiversity. On the other hand urban practitioners frequently ask researchers for more comprehensible information and actionable tools to guide their actions. This book is designed to fill this cultural and communicative gap by discussing a selection of topics related to urban biodiversity as well as its benefits for people and the urban environment. It provides an interdisciplinary overview of scientifically grounded knowledge vital for current and future practitioners in charge of urban biodiversity management its conservation and integration into urban planning. Topics covered include pests and invasive species rewilding habitats the contribution of a diverse urban agriculture to food production implications for human well-being and how to engage the public with urban conservation strategies. For the first time world-leading researchers from five continents convene to offer a global interdisciplinary perspective on urban biodiversity narrated with a simple but rigorous language. This book synthesizes research at a level suitable for both students and professionals working in nature conservation and urban planning and management. | Urban Biodiversity From Research to Practice

The New Companion to Urban Design

The New Companion to Urban Design

The New Companion to Urban Design continues the assemblage of rich and critical ideas about urban form and design that began with the Companion to Urban Design (Routledge 2011). With chapters from a new set of contributors this sequel offers a more comparative perspective representing multiple voices and perspectives from the Global South. The essays in this volume are organized in three parts: Part I: Comparative Urbanism; Part II: Challenges; and Part III: Opportunities. Each part contains distinct sections designed to address specific themes and includes a list of annotated suggested further readings at the end of each chapter. Part I: Comparative Urbanism examines different variants of urbanism in the Global North and the Global South produced by a new economic order characterized by the mobility of labor capital information and technology. Part II: Challenges discusses some of the contemporary challenges that cities of the Global North and the Global South are facing and the possible role of urban design. This part discusses spatial claims and conflicts challenges generated by urban informality explosive growth or dramatic shrinkage of the urban settlement gentrification and displacement and mimesis simulacra and lack of authenticity. Part III: Aspirations discusses some normative goals that urban design interventions aspire to bring about in cities of the Global North and the Global South. These include resilience and sustainability health conservation/restoration justice intelligence access and mobility and arts and culture. The New Companion to Urban Design is primarily intended for scholars and graduate students interested in cities and their built environment. It offers an invaluable and up-to-date guide to current thinking across a range of disciplines including urban design planning urban studies and geography.

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.

Urban Planning’s Philosophical Entanglements The Rugged Dialectical Path from Knowledge to Action

Urban Planning’s Philosophical Entanglements The Rugged Dialectical Path from Knowledge to Action

Urban Planning’s Philosophical Entanglements explores the long-held idea that urban planning is the link in moving from knowledge to action. Observing that the knowledge domain of the planning profession is constantly expanding the approach is a deep philosophical analysis of what is the quality and character of understanding that urban planners need for expert engagement in urban planning episodes. This book philosophically analyses the problems in understanding the nature of action — both individual and social action. Included in the analysis are the philosophical concerns regarding space/place and the institution of private property. The final chapter extensively explores the linkage between knowledge and action. This emerges as the process of design in seeking better urban communities — design processes that go beyond buildings tools or fashions but are focused on bettering human urban relationships. Urban Planning’s Philosophical Entanglements provides rich analysis and understanding of the theory and history of planning and what it means for planning practitioners on the ground. | Urban Planning’s Philosophical Entanglements The Rugged Dialectical Path from Knowledge to Action

Urban Goods Movement A Guide to Policy and Planning

Urban Goods Movement A Guide to Policy and Planning

Freight transport is essential to modern urban civilization. No urban area could exist without a reliable freight transport system. Although the private sector is responsible for much of this system the public sector has a vital role to play in the provision of infrastructure and the establishment of a social and legal framework within which transport can occur. For these reasons goods movement deserves and is increasingly receiving explicit consideration in urban transport policy and planning. Many cities around the world have conducted studies aimed at resolving urban goods movement problems and a considerable if disparate body of research results are available. This book brings together much of this knowledge and experience in a comprehensive source of information on urban freight particularly from a public policy or planning viewpoint. It provides both a conceptual basis for urban goods movement analysis and detailed practical guidelines which may be used directly by those responsible for urban freight policy and planning. The author has worked for over twenty years in this field and he draws upon his experience in Australia the United States Great Britain Canada and The Philippines to produce a book which is international in scope and perspective. The book is written for practising professionals such as engineers economists and planners working in local government urban transport planning agencies highway authorities consultancies or research institutes; it is also relevant to graduate courses in transport planning traffic engineering or urban policy. It is of interest to all who have a concern for contemporary issues in urban development. | Urban Goods Movement A Guide to Policy and Planning

Understanding Urban Metabolism A Tool for Urban Planning

Understanding Urban Metabolism A Tool for Urban Planning

Understanding Urban Metabolism addresses the gap between the bio-physical sciences and urban planning and illustrates the advantages of accounting for urban metabolism issues in urban design decisions. Urban metabolism considers a city as a system and distinguishes between energy and material flows as its components. Based on research from the BRIDGE project this book deals with how the urban surface exchanges and transforms energy water carbon and pollutants in cities. This book also introduces a new method for evaluating how planning alternatives can modify the physical flows of urban metabolism components and how environmental and socioeconomic components interact. The inclusion of sustainability principles into urban planning provides an opportunity to place the new knowledge provided by bio-physical sciences at the centre of the planning process but there is a strong need to bridge knowledge and practice as well as for a better dissemination of research results and exchange of best practice. This book meets that need and provides the reader with the necessary tools to integrate an understanding of urban metabolism into urban planning practice. | Understanding Urban Metabolism A Tool for Urban Planning

Urban Surfaces Graffiti and the Right to the City

Urban Surfaces Graffiti and the Right to the City

This landmark book focuses on urban surfaces on exploring their authorship and management and on their role in struggles for the right to the city. Graffiti pristine walls advertising posters and municipal signage all compete on city surfaces to establish and imprint their values on our environments. It is the first time that the surfacescapes of our cities are granted the entire attention of a book as material visual and legal territories. The book includes a critical history of graffiti and street art as contested surface discourses and argues for surfaces as sites of resistance against private property neoliberal creativity and the imposition of urban order. It also proposes a seven-point manual for a semiotics of urban surfaces laying the ground for a new discipline: surface studies. Page after page and layer after layer surfaces become porous and political and emerge as key spatial conditions for rethinking and re-practicing urban dwelling and spatial justice. They become what the author terms the surface commons. The book will appeal to a wide readership across the disciplines of urban studies architectural theory and design graffiti street art and public art criminology semiotics visual culture and urban and legal geography. It will also serve as a tool for city scholars policy makers artists and vandals to disrupt existing imaginaries of order justice and visibility in cities. | Urban Surfaces Graffiti and the Right to the City

Urban Soils

Urban Soils

Globally 30% of the world population lived in urban areas in 1950 54% in 2016 and 66% projected by 2050. The most urbanized regions include North America Latin America and Europe. Urban encroachment depletes soil carbon and the aboveground biomass carbon pools enhancing the flux of carbon from soil and vegetation into the atmosphere. Thus urbanization has exacerbated ecological and environmental problems. Urban soils are composed of geological material that has been drastically disturbed by anthropogenic activities and compromised their role in the production of food aesthetics of residential areas and pollutant dynamics. Properties of urban soils are normally not favorable to plant growth—the soils are contaminated by heavy metals and are compacted and sealed. Therefore the quality of urban soils must be restored to make use of this valuable resource for delivery of essential ecosystem services (e. g. food water and air quality carbon sequestration temperature moderation biodiversity). Part of the Advances in Soil Sciences Series Urban Soils explains properties of urban soils; assesses the effects of urbanization on the cycling of carbon nitrogen and water and the impacts of management of urban soils soil restoration urban agriculture and food security; evaluates ecosystem services provisioned by urban soils and describes synthetic and artificial soils.

How to Find a Needle in a Haystack From the Insider Threat to Solo Perpetrators

How to Find a Needle in a Haystack From the Insider Threat to Solo Perpetrators

Searching for a needle in a haystack is an important task in several contexts of data analysis and decision-making. Examples include identifying the insider threat within an organization the prediction of failure in industrial production or pinpointing the unique signature of a solo perpetrator such as a school shooter or a lone wolf terrorist. It is a challenge different from that of identifying a rare event (e. g. a tsunami) or detecting anomalies because the needle is not easily distinguished from the haystack. This challenging context is imbued with particular difficulties from the lack of sufficient data to train a machine learning model through the identification of the relevant features and up to the painful price of false alarms which might cause us to question the relevance of machine learning solutions even if they perform well according to common performance criteria. In this book Prof. Neuman approaches the problem of finding the needle by specifically focusing on the human factor from solo perpetrators to insider threats. Providing for the first time a deep critical multidimensional and methodological analysis of the challenge the book offers data scientists and decision makers a deep scientific foundational approach combined with a pragmatic practical approach that may guide them in searching for a needle in a haystack. | How to Find a Needle in a Haystack From the Insider Threat to Solo Perpetrators

Peri-Urban China Land Use Growth and Integrated Urban–Rural Development

Peri-Urban China Land Use Growth and Integrated Urban–Rural Development

The urban-rural relationship in China is key to a sustainable global future. This book is particularly interested in peri-urbanization in China the process by which fringe areas of cities develop. Recent institutional change has helped clarify property rights over collective land facilitating peri-urban area development. Chapters in this book explore how rural industrialization has changed the landscape and rules about land use in peri-urban areas. It looks at the role of rural industrialization and provides a detailed exploration of peri-urbanization theory policy and its evolution in China. Leading discussions find out how fragmented bottom-up industrialization urbanization and lax governance have led to a series of social and environmental problems. The progress in redevelopment of peri-urban areas was initially slow due to the spatial lock-in effect. This book offers practical solutions to environmental issues and explains how policymakers have the potential to redevelop a future collaborative inclusive and sustainable approach to peri-urban areas. This in-depth approach to urbanization will be useful to academics in urban planning and governmental organizations. It will also be advantageous to NGOs and professionals involved in urban planning public administration as well as land-use work in China and other developing countries. | Peri-Urban China Land Use Growth and Integrated Urban–Rural Development

Explorations in Urban Theory

Explorations in Urban Theory

For over three decades urban theorist Michael Peter Smith has engaged in constructing innovative theories on central research questions in urban studies. This book brings together his views on the state of urban theory sorting out the changing strengths and weaknesses in the field. Smith refocuses attention on the cultural social and political practices of urban inhabitants particularly the way in which their everyday activities have contributed to the social construction of new ethnic identities and new meanings of urban citizenship. Combining the methods of political economy and transnational ethnography he encourages us to think about new political spaces for practicing urban citizenship by analyzing the connections linking cities to the web of relations to other localities in which they are embedded. Smith systematically analyzes the dynamics of community power and urban change under new globalizing trends and increased transnational mobility. Expanding on his original conceptualization of transnational urbanism he frames urban political life within a wider transnational context of political practice in which an endless interplay of distinctly situated networks social practices and power relations are fought out at multiple scales in an inexorable politics of inclusion and exclusion. | Explorations in Urban Theory

Urban Change and Citizenship in Times of Crisis Volume 2: Urban Neo-liberalisation

Urban Change and Citizenship in Times of Crisis Volume 2: Urban Neo-liberalisation

The contributions to Urban neo- liberalisation bring together critical analyses of the dynamics and processes neo- liberalism has facilitated in urban contexts. Recent developments such as intensified economic investment and exposure to aggressive strategies of banks hedge- funds and investors and long- term processes of market- and state- led urban restructuration have produced uneven urban geographies and new forms of exclusion and marginality. These strategies have no less transformed the governance of cities by subordinating urban social life to rationalities and practices of competition within and between cities and they also heavily impact on city inhabitants’ experience of everyday life. Against the backdrop of recent austerity politics and a marketisation of cities this volume discusses processes of urban neo- liberalisation with regard to democracy and citizenship inclusion and exclusion opportunities and life- chances. It addresses pressing issues of commodification of housing and home activation of civil society vulnerability and the right to the city. | Urban Change and Citizenship in Times of Crisis Volume 2: Urban Neo-liberalisation

Indigenous Rights to the City Ethnicity and Urban Planning in Bolivia and Ecuador

Indigenous Rights to the City Ethnicity and Urban Planning in Bolivia and Ecuador

This book breaks new ground in understanding urban indigeneity in policy and planning practice. It is the first comprehensive and comparative study that foregrounds the complex interplay of multiple organisations involved in translating indigenous rights to the city in Latin America focussing on the cities of La Paz and Quito. The book establishes how planning for urban indigeneity looks in practice even in seemingly progressive settings such as Bolivia and Ecuador where indigenous rights to the city are recognised within constitutions. It demonstrates that the translation of indigenous rights to the city is a process involving different actor groups operating within state institutions and indigenous communities which often hold conflicting interests and needs. The book also establishes a set of theoretical methodological and practical foundations for envisaging how urban indigenous planning in Latin America and elsewhere should be understood studied and undertaken: As a process which embraces conflict and challenges power relations within indigenous communities and between these communities and the state. This book will appeal to practitioners researchers and students working within the fields of urban planning urban development and indigenous rights. | Indigenous Rights to the City Ethnicity and Urban Planning in Bolivia and Ecuador

Urban Quay Walls

Urban Quay Walls

Since the thirteenth century quay walls of significant retaining height have been built in the Netherlands in urban environments. Over time structural revisions were often carried out due to excessive deformations or the use of increasingly larger and deeper vessels. These historic quay walls were seldom designed for the current functional requirements they are subjected to. These mostly older quay walls require more maintenance and revisions to secure a certain degree of safety. In some cases they need to be demolished and completely rebuilt. Urban Quay Walls offers safety protocols and a clear approach on how to inspect design and maintain urban quay walls. The book offers: - an insight on the development of urban quay walls; - a description of the main forms (as used in The Netherlands); - quicksteps for the inspection of existing quay walls. Urban Quay Walls presents a proposal for a uniform and standardised method to verify the actual state of current quay walls in urban environments. This handbook presents an overview of the development of urban quay walls over the course of time and describes the main types in use in the Netherlands. Subsequently a method is presented for deciding whether or not a historic quay wall needs to be renovated renewed or maintained.
