In establishing a professorship in Design & Politics at Delft University of Technology, the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment has launched a program of education, research and practice for the spatial design of the Netherlands, aimed at reinforcing the interaction between design and politics. The purpose of this book is to offer inspiration and an organizing framework for that program, based on history, reflection, policy and, just as importantly, ambition. The book traces the history of the Netherlands' thinkers, makers and builders. It provides an understanding of how the roles and relationships in Dutch spatial planning have been transformed, and of the ideals, sys...
Het compactestadbeleid is in Nederland ongeveer een kwart eeuw oud. Het werd gedreven door de vier grote steden in de Randstad, die zich na de economische crises van de jaren zeventig en het gevoerde (gebundeld) deconcentratiebeleid geconfronteerd zagen met een enorm verlies aan midden- en hogere inkomensgroepen. Tegelijkertijd ontstonden nieuwe inzichten over het belang van krachtige steden in de opkomende mondiale netwerkeconomie. In combinatie daarmee kwamen ook duurzaamheid, mobiliteit en kwaliteit van het landelijk gebied in relatie tot die stedelijke opgave op de agenda. Vanuit die achtergrond werd het compactestadbeleid vanaf midden jaren tachtig op nationaal niveau geformaliseerd. De doorgezette mondialisering, informatisering, de veranderende economie en het toenemend belang van duurzame ruimtelijke ontwikkeling vragen om een hernieuwde invulling van compactestadbeleid. De actuele setting is wezenlijk anders dan die van zo'n kwart eeuw geleden.
An examination of urban climate change response strategies and the resistance to them by grassroots activists and social movements. Cities around the world are formulating plans to respond to climate change and adapt to its impact. Often, marginalized urban residents resist these plans, offering “counterplans” to protest unjust and exclusionary actions. In this book, Kian Goh examines climate change response strategies in three cities—New York, Jakarta, and Rotterdam—and the mobilization of community groups to fight the perceived injustices and oversights of these plans. Looking through the lenses of urban design and socioecological spatial politics, Goh reveals how contested visions...
Dit derde deel uit de serie 'Design and politics' bevat een scherpe blik op de stand van de regionale planvorming, de rol van de ontwerpers, het uitbesteden van planningsopgaven en het systeem van kennisvergaring. Het biedt een nieuw perspectief op de planologie van morgen, onderbouwd met bevindingen uit diverse praktijkvoorbeelden en reflecties van prominente essayisten.
Considered to be sub-ordinated and sub-prime to the city, sub-urban areas receive little attention by researchers and designers. However, it ́s the rapidly growing areas outside the central cities that pose the biggest questions of the urban millennium: How can the scattered patchwork of urban areas and social spaces linked by networks of highways and public transportation function as a sustainable and livable urban environment? Answering this question requires understanding suburban spaces as heterogeneous urban areas with distinct local characteristics, qualities, and problems. Following this path, Variations of Suburbanism explores formation, characteristics, and trends of suburban areas all over the world. It provides insights on common features and differences of suburban governance, design, and infrastructure and discusses strategies to understand and design suburban areas in an increasingly sub-urbanizing world.
And it’s different every time.
The Netherlands' Olympic Plan 2028, already dubbed the Dutch Approach in international circles, seeks to use the power of sports and the hosting of the 2028 Summer Olympics to put the Netherlands squarely on the international map. The plan is unique because of the exceedingly long run-up period, the aim being to book maximum results before as well as after hopefully securing the bid to organize the Olympic Games in 2028. This strategy in stages distributed over the years creates opportunities to find the best means of physically accommodating the Games, to hitch these means to other tasks and to engage in dialogue on these issues. Design plays a crucial role in all of this, a role that changes with each set of circumstances. This extra edition in the 'Design and Politics' series describes the different ways in which design figures in shaping the Olympic Plan's ambition to house the 2028 Summer Olympics.
Kekerasan massal terhadap perempuan berulang terjadi pada tiap-tiap masa krisis dan transisi dalam sejarah politik Indonesia, yakni pada periode singkat kekuasaan Jepang, pada periode konsolidasi Orde Baru pasca 1965, dan pada 1998. Buku ini membahas dan membandingkan kekerasan pada masa fasis Jepang dan neofasis Orde Baru pasca 1965. Meski banyak diingkari oleh penguasa, kekerasan terhadap perempuan yang terjadi pada kedua era itu layak disebut sebagai perbudakan seksual, karena berlangsung terus-menerus, sistemik, dan berulang—yang agak membedakannya dengan kasus perkosaan umumnya. Negara terlibat dengan membiarkannya terjadi. Dilengkapi wawancara dan petikan-petikan kesaksian para penyintas (baik mereka yang diperbudak sebagai jugun ianfu pada masa Jepang, maupun tapol perempuan yang diperlakukan semena-mena pasca 1965), buku ini hendak menjawab: Situasi sosial-politik dan kultural macam apakah yang membantu terciptanya praktik perbudakan seksual ini? Apa motivasi para pelakunya? Apakah persamaan dan perbedaan praktik perbudakan seksual pada kedua masa rezim fasis ini? Bagaimanakah bentuk-bentuk dan pola-polanya?
