Urban Integration
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.
Emscherkunstweg
The Emscherkunstweg (Emscher Art Trail) currently comprises 23 works of public art on the banks of the Emscher River in the heart of the Ruhr region in western Germany. Once the most polluted river in Europe, the Emscher has been dramatically transformed from a drainage system into a natural river landscape. Between 2010 and 2016, three Emscher art exhibitions accompanied this ecological tour de force. Since 2019, the permanent works of art resulting from these exhibitions have formed the starting point for the expansion into the Emscher Art Trail. This volume is the first to offer an overview of all the works, in particular the new works by Julius von Bismarck/Marta Dyachenko, David Jablonowski, Markus Jeschaunig, Sofía Táboas and Nicole Wermers. It also addresses questions surrounding the preservation and potential of art in public space and its relationship to the region’s industrial culture. The book is an ideal travel companion and reference work for discovering art on over 100 kilometers of cycle paths.

Narrative in Urban Planning
What do planners need to know in order to use narrative approaches responsibly in their practice? This practical field guide makes insights from narrative research accessible to planners through a glossary of key concepts in the field of narrative in planning. What makes narratives coherent, probable, persuasive, even necessary - but also potentially harmful, manipulative and divisive? How can narratives help to build more sustainable, resilient, and inclusive communities? The authors are literary scholars who have extensive experience in planning practice, training planning scholars and practitioners or advising municipalities on how to harness the power of stories in urban development.
Das Barackenlager Rotbachtal
Das "Barackenlager Rotbachtal" im Dinslakener Rotbachtal war während des Zweiten Weltkriegs ein Zivilarbeiterlager, dessen Bewohner bei harter Arbeit und stetiger Angst vor Fliegerangriffen die Kriegszeit im Land Dinslaken durchleiden mussten. Alleine am 27. April 1943 kamen hier durch einen Bombenabwurf 31 belgische Arbeiter ums Leben. Das Buch schildert die Geschichte des Barackenlagers Rotbachtal von den Anfängen bis zu seiner Auflösung und greift ebenso das Leben seiner Bewohner im bisweilen skurrilen Nebeneinander von Leid und Freud in jenen dunklen Kriegstagen auf.
Schimanski, Kumpel, Currywurst?
Jenseits der Klischees von Schimanski, Kumpel und Pommes-Currywurst bleibt die Identität des Ruhrgebiets und seiner Bewohner:innen merkwürdig blass. Dass es hier eine Pluralität von vordergründig sichtbaren oder versteckten Identitäten gibt, legen die Beiträge dieses interdisziplinär angelegten Bandes aus der Perspektive der Geschichts- und Politikwissenschaft, der Kulturwissenschaft sowie der Theologie offen. Im Zeitraum »nach dem Boom« der 1950er- und 1960er-Jahre entfalteten sich hier – so die These – um die Kern-Identität des schwer malochenden Kumpels unter Tage Teilidentitäten, die in ihrem Kern zwar noch eng mit Bergbau und Stahlindustrie verwoben waren, sich aber in »Subkulturen« wie Sport, Musik, Kunst oder Religion zeigten. Entstehungszeitraum dieser Identitäten waren die 1970er Jahre: eine Zeitspanne, in der die Deindustrialisierung des Ruhrgebiets schon seit einigen Jahren lief, nun aber weitreichende Transformationen – etwa eine erhöhte Arbeitslosigkeit oder der Ölpreisschock – hinzukamen, die das Ruhrgebiet als einst wichtigste Montanregion Europas vor besondere Herausforderungen stellten.
Deliberative Governance for Sustainable Development
Deliberative Governance for Sustainable Development argues that governance has become the core problem of sustainable development and identifies deliberative democracy and governance as a path forward for Western societies. In this book the author puts forward three messages. Firstly, while sustainable development theoretically is a common good of all people, it is in practice constantly associated with a multitude of smaller and larger conflicts. These conflicts arise repeatedly because, in practice, the benefits, costs and risks of sustainable development are unequally distributed and therefore form a massive barrier to sustainable development. As a result, sustainable development depends ...
