Materiales de Urbanismo 2017.19 (vol. 05)
Como en las publicaciones anteriores de la serie bienal Materiales de Urbanismo, este quinto volumen (MU5), correspondiente a diversas actividades docentes y otras asociadas dentro del área de Urbanística y Ordenación del Territorio durante los cursos 2017-18 y 2018-19, incluye ‘materiales’ de naturaleza diversa. Porque, en el fondo, el mensaje principal es que el Urbanismo se aprende analizando y proyectando, reflexionando sobre planes y proyectos urbanos, interviniendo sobre fragmentos de ciudades europeas, reordenando núcleos urbanos menores, renaturalizando y reciclando territorios de distinta naturaleza, reinventando el plan con propuestas de regeneración urbana para barrios y sectores urbanos próximos...; también conversando con los autores de diversas aproximaciones teóricas o los que han participado en ese gran conjunto de experiencias que están en la base de la construcción de la ciudad y el territorio.

History of Humanity
Volume IV deals with the 'Middle Ages'. It starts with the expansion of Islam and closes with the discovery of the New World. Various events during this period led to a significant expansion in communications: the rapid spread of Islam and of Gengis Khan's Mongol Empire, as well as the Crusades and the development of trans-Saharan and maritime routes around Africa to the Indian Ocean, leading to multiplied exchanges between the peoples and cultures of Africa, Asia and Europe.
Urban Visions
This book is a useful reference in the field of urbanism. It explains how the contemporary city and landscape have been shaped by certain twentieth century visions that have carried over into the twenty-first century. Aimed at both students and professionals, this collection of essays on diverse subjects and cases does not attempt to establish universal interpretations; it rather highlights some outstanding episodes that help us understand why the planning culture has given way to other forms of urbanism, from urban design to strategic urbanism or landscape urbanism. Compared with global interpretations of urbanism based on socioeconomic history or architectural historiography, Urban Visions. From Planning Culture to Landscape Urbanism, aims to present the discipline couched in international contemporary debate and adopt a historic and comparative perspective. The book’s contents pertain equally to other related disciplines, such as architecture, urban history, urban design, landscape architecture and geography. Foreword by Rafael Moneo.
Culture, Urbanism and Planning
The relationship between culture and urbanism has been the focus of much discussion and debate in recent years. While globalisation tends towards a homogeneity, successful 'global cities' have a strong individual - and particularly cultural - identity. The economic value of the culture of cities lies not only in the arts taking place there but also in the city’s fabric, its architecture, and in its cultural heritage. This volume brings together a team of leading specialists to examine the policies of image and city marketing which have developed over the past 15 years and whether these are a continuity of earlier strategies. Featuring case studies which illustrate diverse perspectives on linking culture, urbanism and history, the book reviews heritage and planning culture, looking at the experience of urbanism in the 'Old Historic City'. The book also assesses the increasingly important issue of urban images and their influence on planning strategies.
Rumor of Globalization
Drawing on recent theories of virtuality, performativity, and governmentality, and on post-colonial activist scholarship, this book presents a series of ethnographic and archival studies of what Mukhopadhyay terms "vernacular globalization" in India. The book's six provocative chapters cover a wide range of events, objects, histories, narratives and episodes with the intent of interrogating what Franz Fanon called the "zone of occult instability where the people dwell." They span subjects as diverse as the quotidian commodity fetishism of rural cargo cults which thrive on bazaar rumours about Chinese dumping in Communist Calcutta; desi cyberporn showcasing "fat aunties" and Gandhi; Indo-Pers...
