CIDADE E METRÓPOLE - Coleção Arquitetura e Cidade Vol. 1
Oprojeto “Cidade e Metrópole” foi desenvolvido com base nas linhas de pesquisa do Programa de Pós-Graduação Stricto Sensu em Arquitetura e Cidade da Universidade Vila Velha que visam a reflexão do processo de projeto na formação multidisciplinar do arquiteto e urbanista e de profissionais de áreas afins, enfatizando uma abordagem ampla e simbiótica entre a Arquitetura e a Cidade. Os estudos propostos pelo programa fomentam a reflexão crítica sobre a formação e a produção do ambiente construído através: dos fenômenos relacionados ao processo e a prática projetual da arquitetura e do urbanismo; o planejamento, a gestão e a avaliação do desempenho do edifício e do território, em suas diversas vertentes (espacial, social ambiental, cultural, político, econômico e comportamental).

UNIVERSIDADE E COMUNIDADE:
Universidade e comunidade: práticas extensionistas em Arquitetura e Cidade é um projeto editorial organizado pelo Programa de Pós-Graduação em Arquitetura e Cidade (PPGAC) da Universidade Vila Velha (UVV), voltado à disseminação de ações extensionistas, frutos de projetos de diferentes universidades que promovem a reflexão sobre as demandas sociais alinhadas à construção do conhecimento. A obra traz 14 projetos na área de arquitetura e urbanismo, desenvolvidos por nove universidades brasileiras, e divididos em três partes: I. Impacto econômico e sociocultural; II. Impacto educacional; e III. Impacto artístico e tecnológico. A leitura integrada dos trabalhos visa contribuir no debate acerca dos novos saberes na formação do arquiteto urbanista junto a sociedade.
CIDADE E REPRESENTAÇÕES - Coleção Arquitetura e Cidade Vol. 2
Cidades e Representações é resultado de uma construção coletiva e interdisciplinar de pesquisadores vinculados aos Programas de Pós-Graduação de duas renomadas instituições de ensino: Universidade Vila Velha e Universidade Estadual de Campinas. O ponto de partida foi o debate acerca dos vários significados atribuídos à dimensão arquitetônica e urbanística. A coletânea reúne artigos que buscam tecer reflexões interdisciplinares e simbióticas, entre arquitetura, cidade e suas múltiplas interpretações. A leitura integrada dos artigos destaca a linha condutora deste trabalho - a análise dos ambientes físicos e sua pluralidade, que trazem consigo histórias, experiências, práticas e representações singulares.
Global Restructuring and Territorial Development
The essays in this book provide the elements for a new theory of spatial development to explain the new socio-territorial reality produced by global restructuring in the 1970s and 1980s. The contributors all account for the contemporary territorial units by focusing on global economic dynamics and the history of particular places. The book looks at restructuring in the automobile and electronics industries; the significance of migrant labour and the informal economy; the consequences of female proletarianization in Southeast Asia; the implications for regional development of the incorporation of Mexico and Malaysia in the world economy; the internationalization of commercial capital and the development of financial centres;
World Cities in a World-System
Cities such as New York, Tokyo and London are the centres of transnational corporate headquarters, of international finance, transnational institutions, and telecommunications. They are the dominant loci in the contemporary world economy, and the influence of a relatively small number of cities within world affairs has been a feature of the shift from an international to a more global economy which took place during the 1970s and 1980s. This book brings together the leading researchers in the field to write seventeen original essays which cover both the theoretical and practical issues involved. They examine the nature of world cities, and their demands as special places in need of specific urban policies; the relationship between world cities within global networks of economic flows; and the relationship between world city research and world-systems analysis and other theoretical frameworks.
Future Forms and Design For Sustainable Cities
Concentrating on the planning and design of cities, the three sections take a logical route through the discussion from the broad considerations at regional and city scale, to the larger city at high and lower densities through to design considerations on the smaller block scale. Key design issues such as access to facilities, access for sunlight, life cycle analyses, and the impact of communications on urban design are tackled, and in conclusion, the research is compared to large scale design examples that have been proposed and/or implemented over the past decade to give a vision for the future that might be achievable.
International Residential Mobilities
This book assesses the drivers and impacts of new international residential mobilities by considering a range of mobilities in different countries across the globe from investment, amenity and retirement mobilities to those of the new global middle class and the transnational elites. It examines the intersection of these mobilities with the increase in the volume of global tourism, the advent of the sharing economy and peer-to-peer platforms, and the effects of transnational property investment. The consequent transformations are considered in urban environments where tourism pressure coexists with gentrification, increasing house prices and processes of social and ethnic segregation. By offering a broad perspective based on different case studies, the book portrays the contradictory consequences of international residential mobilities both favouring local opportunities for development and disrupting housing markets through the disassociation from local demand. As a result this book is a great resource for academics and students in tourism, urban and migration studies as well as policy-makers and practitioners involved in urban planning, social affairs and tourism management.
A Phoenix in the Ashes
In the years following its near-bankruptcy in 1976 until the end of the 1980s, New York City came to epitomize the debt-driven, deal-oriented, economic boom of the Reagan era. Exploring the interplay between social structural change and political power during this period, John Mollenkopf asks why a city with a large minority population and a long tradition of liberalism elected a conservative mayor who promoted real-estate development and belittled minority activists. Through a careful analysis of voting patterns, political strategies of various interest groups, and policy trends, he explains how Mayor Edward Koch created a powerful political coalition and why it ultimately failed.
The Urban Revolution
Originally published in 1970, The Urban Revolution marked Henri Lefebvre’s first sustained critique of urban society, a work in which he pioneered the use of semiotic, structuralist, and poststructuralist methodologies in analyzing the development of the urban environment. Although it is widely considered a foundational book in contemporary thinking about the city, The Urban Revolution has never been translated into English—until now. This first English edition, deftly translated by Robert Bononno, makes available to a broad audience Lefebvre’s sophisticated insights into the urban dimensions of modern life.Lefebvre begins with the premise that the total urbanization of society is an i...
