Huntley
Huntley was founded in 1851. Its first boom years--the 1850s to 1920s--saw the town prosper thanks to the local dairy industry. Prolific dairy farmers provided milk for the many local condensing plants and cheese factories and sent huge surpluses into Chicago by train each day. It was said that the Huntley area produced more milk per square mile than anywhere else in the world. Businesses, homes, and churches all grew with the population. Village founders, movers and shakers of a century and more ago, as well as everyday workers and village residents are captured here in vintage images, showing what life was like in Huntley in years gone by.
Afropolis
Metropolises often evoke images of flashy high-rise buildings, permanent background noise, backed-up cars and people moving quickly in all directions in their masses. New York, Tokyo, London, Sao Paulo. But what about Cairo?
Design for Resilient Communities
The book provides new perspectives from leading researchers accentuating and examining the central role of the built environment in conceiving and implementing multifaceted solutions for the complex challenges of creating resilient communities, revealing critical potentials for architecture and design to contribute in more informed and long-term ways to the urgent transition of our society. The volume offers a compilation of peer-reviewed papers that uniquely connects knowledge and criticality broadly across practice and academia; from new technologies, theories and methods to community engaged practice on many scales, and more. The book is part of a series of six volumes that explore the ag...
European Planning History in the 20th Century
The history of Europe in the 20th century is closely tied to the history of urban planning. Social and economic progress but also the brute treatment of people and nature throughout Europe were possible due to the use of urban planning and the other levels of spatial planning. Thereby, planning has constituted itself in Europe as an international subject. Since its emergence, through intense exchange but also competition, despite country differences, planning has developed as a European field of practice and scientific discipline. Planning is here much more than the addition of individual histories; however, historiography has treated this history very selective regarding geography and conte...

Zeitpunkte
„Zeitpunkte“ – das war die Überschrift, unter der bereits der Großvater die Lebensdaten seiner Familie und der ihm bekannten Vorfahren handschriftlich festhielt. Sie waren weitgehend im Westerzgebirge zu Hause und viele von ihnen lebten dort in den verschiedensten Ortschaften von der Musik („Musiker-Linie“). Nach der Wende und der neu vollzogenen deutschen Einheit ist es möglich geworden, unmittelbar vor Ort zu forschen. Zahlreiche Dokumente aus Archiven und Kirchenbüchern, aber auch teils mühsam aufgefundene Lebenserinnerungen und viele Briefe erlauben inzwischen eine Darstellung, die über die reinen Lebensdaten hinaus – sie reichen inzwischen weit zurück bis in das 15./16. Jahrhundert und geographisch bis nach Norddeutschland – etwas über das verbrachte Leben selbst berichtet. Der Verfasser findet zu Ehren seiner Vorfahren unter dem gleichen Titel die Ausgangspunkte und Wege seiner eigenen Herkunft.
Die identitätsstiftende Region
Die Identifikation von Menschen mit der Region als überschaubarer und beeinflussbarer Rahmen gewinnt in Zeiten von Unsicherheit, zunehmender Entgrenzung und globaler Vernetzung an Bedeutung. Unmittelbar erfahren haben wir dies in den letzten Monaten durch Corona-bedingte Einschränkungen, welche die allgemeine Mobilität zeitweise extrem reduziert und uns gleichzeitig unsere Abhängigkeit von technischen Infrastrukturen vor Augen geführt haben. Dabei wurde für manche die Auseinandersetzung mit dem eigenen Wohnort unweigerlich mehr in den Vordergrund gerückt. The identification of individuals with the region as a manageable and influenceable framework is gaining in importance in times of uncertainty, increasing dissolution of boundaries and global networking. We have experienced this directly in the last few months due to corona-related restrictions, which at times extremely reduced general mobility and at the same time made us aware of our dependence on technical infrastructures. For some people, this has inevitably brought the issue of their own place of residence more to the fore.
