Strategieorientierte Planung im kooperativen Staat
Strategieorientierte Planung erlebt seit den 1990er Jahren eine Wiedergeburt. Die Entwicklung und Umsetzung umfassender strategischer Planungsdokumente und Leitbilder ist vor dem Hintergrund des gegenwärtigen sozialen und ökonomischen Wandels sowie im Zusammenhang mit dem Wandel von Staatlichkeit zu sehen, welcher sich im Konzept des "kooperativen Staates" ausdrückt. Das Buch widmet sich zwei zentralen Fragestellungen: einerseits wird nach der Einbettung der verschiedenen Ansätze strategieorientierter Planung in den planungstheoretischen Diskurs, andererseits nach der Rolle strategieorientierter Planung im Wandel des Steuerungsverständnisses auf lokaler und regionaler Ebene gefraft. Das der strategieorientierten Planung zugrundeliegende Planungsverständnis beinhaltet die Vorstellung von Planung als sozialem Prozess sowie als Instrument zur Aushandlung und Vermittlung zwischen widersprüchlichen Interessen.
Die Produktion zentraler öffentlicher Räume in der Aufmerksamkeitsökonomie
von Prof. Dr. phil. habil. Max Welch Guerra Der öffentliche Raum entfaltet einen besonderen Zauber für all diejenigen, die sich mit hö- ren Ansprüchen an die Welt der Nutzung, der Planung und der Gestaltung von Städten w- den. Aber auch Soziologinnen, Kulturwissenschaftler und Stadtgeografinnen fühlen sich von dem Phänomen öffentlicher Raum und seinen schillernden Erscheinungsformen angezogen. Dies ist seit den 1990er Jahren weltweit der Fall. Hand in Hand mit der Ausbreitung eines neuen Typus der Stadtentwicklungspolitik, der aus vielfältigen Gründen öffentliche Plätze, Straßen, Uferpromenaden und städtische Grünflächen als besonders ergiebige Raumtypen für die Aufwertung o...

Architecture RePerformed: The Politics of Reconstruction
First emerging at the beginning of the twentieth century, architectural reconstruction has increasingly become an instrument to visually revive a long bygone past. This book deals with the phenomenon of meticulous reconstruction in architecture. It argues that the politics of reconstruction go far beyond aesthetic considerations. Taking architecture as a major source of history and regional identity, the impact of large-scale reconstruction is deeply intertwined with political and social factors. Furthermore, memories and associations correlated with lost buildings of a bygone era are heavily influenced by their re-appearance, something which often contradicts historical events. Reconstructi...
Streetlife
The twentieth century in Europe was an urban century: it was shaped by life in, and the view from, the street. Women were not liberated in legislatures, but liberated themselves in factories, homes, nightclubs, and shops. Lenin, Hitler, and Mussolini made themselves powerful by making cities ungovernable with riots rampaging through streets, bars occupied one-by-one. New forms of privacy and isolation were not simply a by-product of prosperity, but because people planned new ways of living, new forms of housing in suburbs and estates across the continent. Our proudest cultural achievements lie not in our galleries or state theatres, but in our suburban TV sets, the dance halls, pop music played in garages, and hip hop sung on our estates. In Streetlife, Leif Jerram presents a totally new history of the twentieth century, with the city at its heart, showing how everything distinctive about the century, from revolution and dictatorship to sexual liberation, was fundamentally shaped by the great urban centres which defined it.
Urbanism and Transport
Helmut Holzapfel’s Urbanism and Transport, a bestseller in its own country, now available in English, examines the history and the future of urban design for transport in major European cities. Urbanism and Transport shows how the automobile has come to dominate the urban landscape of cities throughout the world, providing thought-provoking analysis of the societal and ideological precursors that have given rise to these developments. It describes the transformation that occurred in urban life through the ongoing separation of social functions that began in the 1920s and has continued to produce today's phenomenon of fractured urban experience – a sort of island urbanism. Professor Holza...

Remodelling to Prepare for Independence
Remodelling to Prepare for Independence: The Philippine Commonwealth, Decolonisation, Cities and Public Works, c. 1935–46 illuminates the implications of the USA’s final phase of colonial rule in the Philippine Islands. It explores the Filipino side of decolonisation and the management of the built environment in the years immediately prior to self-rule. This book shakes off the collaboration vs. resistance paradigm that empire histories generally follow and consequently yields an original vantage point to comprehend transition within an Asian society in the years immediately prior to, during, and after World War Two. This will not only deepen insight of the American Empire, but also gra...
Community spaces
Large housing estates of the post-war era have shaped the face of many cities throughout Europe. In the original plans of the 1950s-1980s they were to amend the urban structure and in many cases they were expected to enable a superior form of communality and urbanity. The estates were built to ease the housing shortage, but were also thought to quite literally become the home for a “new society”, be it under socialist regimes or the democratic welfare state. The reformation of society was expected to be supported by the environment of the newly built estates and, most crucially, their community spaces. The different manifestations of these community spaces were the subject of the second ...
Regionale Governance des Funktionswandels von Flughäfen
Der strukturelle Wandel von Flughäfen zu multifunktionalen Dienstleistungsstandorten und zu Initiatoren von Flächenentwicklung im Flughafenumfeld wirft die Frage nach der Handhabung einer Infrastruktur auf, die sich von einem Verkehrsknoten zu einem raumökonomischen Gravitationspunkt gewandelt hat. Am Beispiel des Flughafens Frankfurt und der Rhein-Main-Region untersucht Ute Knippenberger die Handlungsfähigkeit regionaler Governance anhand des Flughafenwandels. Frankfurt am Main ist Deutschlands größter internationaler Flughafen, und die stadtpolitische Ausrichtung Frankfurts und der Region beruht auf seiner internationalen Vernetzung und dem Erhalt und der Stärkung des Standortes im internationalen Städtewettbewerb. Die Autorin nutzt einen institutionenbasierten Ansatz, der es ermöglicht, die komplexen Zusammenhänge zwischen Flughafeninfrastruktur und regionaler Governance zu operationalisieren.
