Das Teilen von knapper werdenden Ressourcen ist eine der grossen gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen der kommenden Jahrzehnte. Im Interdisziplinären Schwerpunkt Kooperation Bau und Raum der Hochschule Luzern untersuchten verschiedene Projekte zwischen 2014 und 2018, wie die gemeinsame Nutzung von Ressourcen durch kooperative Netzwerke in Gang gesetzt und optimiert werden kann. Über den Einbezug der jeweiligen baulichen, technischen, räumlichen, ökonomischen, sozialen und kulturellen Komponenten sollten die Projekte einen geteilten Mehrwert für die Nutzenden schaffen. Der vorliegende Herausgeberband stellt die Ergebnisse dieser Forschung und Entwicklung vor. Beschrieben werden Projekte, die aus dem Interdisziplinären Schwerpunkt Kooperation Bau und Raum heraus entstanden sind, sowie weitere Projekte, die unabhängig zu einem der Themenfelder des Interdisziplinären Schwerpunkts gearbeitet haben. Die drei Kapitel des Bandes sind entlang dieser Themenfelder strukturiert: KAPITEL 1: Neue Planungsprozesse in Städten und Gemeinden KAPITEL 2: Kooperative Gebäudesanierung und Energieplanung KAPITEL 3: Sozialer Wandel und Lebensgestaltung

A significant body of theoretical and empirical studies describes 'sense of place' as an outcome of interconnected psychological, social and environmental processes in relation to physical place(s). Sense of place has been examined, particularly in human geography, in terms of both the character intrinsic to a place as a localized, bounded and material entity, and the sentiments of attachment/detachment that humans experience and express in relation to specific places. Scholars in a wide range of disciplines are increasingly exploring the relationship between place and health, and recently, the field of public health has been encouraged to recognize sense of place as a potential contributing factor to well-being. It is evident that over the last few decades, sense of place has developed into a versatile construct. This important book brings together work related to sense of place and health, broadly defined, from the perspective of a variety of fields and disciplines. It will give the reader an understanding of both the range of applications of this construct within approaches to human health as well as the breadth of research methodologies employed in its investigation.

The challenges rapid urbanisation encompasses are manifold, so are the efforts addressing sustainable and inclusive development frameworks. "Reclaiming Public Space through Intercultural Dialogue" is an intercultural and interdisciplinary initiative, which focuses on how social and spatial segregation can be overcome in metropolitan areas. Through joint research and teaching activities in the cities of Dortmund and Amman, three comprehensive topics emerged: urban transformation and the role of public space; social and cultural dimensions of cities; and nature-based planning approaches. The book compiles contributions to these topics from researchers, practitioners, and students, which were presented in an international conference held at the German Jordanian University in Madaba, Jordan, in November 2017.
Assessment is a value-laden activity surrounded by debates about academic standards, preparing students for employment, measuring quality and providing incentives. There is substantial evidence that assessment, rather than teaching, has the major influence on students’ learning. It directs attention to what is important and acts as an incentive for study. This book revisits assessment in higher education, examining it from the point of view of what assessment does and can do and argues that assessment should be seen as an act of informing judgement and proposes a way of integrating teaching, learning and assessment to better prepare students for a lifetime of learning. It is essential reading for practitioners and policy makers in higher education institutions in different countries, as well as for educational development and institutional research practitioners.
In the context of Transforming City Regions, phenomena such as globalization and digitalization accelerate change and bring several aspects of life into motion. If used in a smart way, such developments might trigger a promising dynamic for local people, their living environment, and regional economy. "Urban Integration: From Walled City to Integrated City" reflects on the challenges such dynamics encompass and also on the significance of social integration in urban contexts. The book compiles contributions from researchers, practitioners, and students to an international symposium held at Essen Zollverein in May 2018.
