Visualizing Sustainable Planning
we are a part of, the current discussions of global recession in the media alerts us to the occasional perils of the globalized economic system. The globally dispersed, intricately integrated, and hyper-complex socio-economic-ecological system is d- ficult to analyze, comprehend and communicate without effective visualization tools. Given that planners are at the frontlines in the effort to prepare as well as build res- ience in the impacted communities, appropriate visualization tools are indispensable for effective planning. Second, planners have largely been slow to incorporate the advances in visuali- tion research emerging from other domains of inquiry. The research on visualizing 3-dim...
Parallel Patterns of Shrinking Cities and Urban Growth
Focussing particularly on urban fringe and rural areas, this book addresses the parallel phenomena of growth and decline. In doing so, it not only broadens a debate which generally concentrates on urban municipalities, especially inner city areas, but also covers new ground by starting to build a new theoretical framework for the spatial planning related assessment of these phenomena. Bringing together contributions from internationally renowned authors, such as Sir Peter Hall, Steve Ward and Johann Jessen, the book compares international case studies and highlights their relationships with one another. It concludes by emphasizing common themes that are addressed, as well as showing applicability to other urban and rural regions. Overall, the book provides a timely and comprehensive analysis of the spatial consequences and related spatial planning concepts in theory and practice which aim to further sustainable development of city regions, urban fringe and rural areas experiencing growth and decline.
Local Sustainable Urban Development in a Globalized World
'Sustainable development' is a key issue of concern to urban planners across the globe. How it is defined, implemented and measured at the local level remains highly contested and subject to a wide range of external cultural, political and economic pressures. Bringing together leading experts from North America, Europe, the Middle East and SE Asia, this book provides a timely overview of the various methods for understanding and implementing sustainable practices at local levels. In doing so, they present the wide range of local action alternatives available to planners that may be pursued in spite of the constraints generated by globalization processes and highlight the array of public poli...

RE-MIXING THE CITY - Towards Sustainability and Resilience? There is nothing permanent except change. (Heraclitus) Cities worldwide are facing rapid social, economic, environmental, technological and cultural changes such as: rapid urbanisation, aging of society, security issues, housing emergency, new solutions on mobility, integration of immigrants, food and water shortage, etc. Especially in times of economic crisis and demographic changes in cities, it is necessary to think about how to best handle what we have, and therefore "RE-MIXING THE CITY" is a challenge to manage and re-combine the elements which make our modern cities in order to better respond to change.
Nineteenth-century Germans to America
Although the source and scope of the information in this work vary, for the most part the entries include the passenger's name, place of origin, number of persons traveling with the passenger, and year of departure. Many also contain more detail, providing the immigrant's age, occupation, next of kin, sponsors, and date of birth, as well as the name of ship and date of departure.
Räume im Wandel
Der räumliche Wandel hat sich beschleunigt. Im Wechselspiel von Persistenz und Pfadabhängigkeiten auf der einen Seite sowie technisch, ökonomisch, ökologisch und sozial induzierten Entwicklungsdynamiken auf der anderen Seite verschieben sich die räumlichen Gewichte und führen zu neuen Disparitäten. Die explizit räumlich orientierten Politiken wie Raumentwicklungspolitik, Stadtplanung und regionale Wirtschaftspolitik versuchen diese Prozesse auf nationaler Ebene normativ zu steuern. Der vorliegende Sammelband ist bewusst fachübergreifend angelegt und führt raumentwicklungspolitische, stadtplanerische, verwaltungsökonomische und philosophisch-historische Perspektiven auf den räumlichen Wandel zusammen.
