The Urbanism of Exception
This book argues that understanding global urbanism in the twenty-first century requires us to cast our gaze upon vast city-regions without an urban core.
Housing East Asia
Housing policy has been central to the economic success stories of the major East Asian economies as well as a pillar of social and welfare provision. This book explores not only the development of their distinctive approach, but also the challenges posed in recent years, and currently, by rapid socio-economic and demographic change.
Housing Policy, Wellbeing and Social Development in Asia
This book investigates how housing policy changes in Asia since the late 1990s have impacted on housing affordability, security, livability, culture and social development. Using case study examples from countries/cities including China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, the contributors contextualize housing policy development in terms of both global and local socio-economic and political changes. They then investigate how policy changes have shaped and re-shaped the housing wellbeing of the local people and the social development within these places, which they argue should constitute the core purpose of housing policy. This book will open up a new dimension for understanding housing and social development in Asia and a new conceptual perspective with which to examine housing which, by nature, is culture-sensitive and people-oriented. It will be of interest to students, scholars and professionals in the areas of housing studies, urban and social development and the public and social policy of Asia.
Housing Finance Systems
The term 'housing crisis' has recently been associated with rising foreclosure rates and tottering financial institutions, particularly in the US and Europe. However, in many emerging countries, the housing crisis is about urban poverty, unplanned settlements, overcrowded slums and homelessness.
Community as Urban Practice
Community is a central idea in urban studies but remains conceptually vague and empirically difficult to work with. Building on existing theories of community, Talja Blokland offers an important contribution to defining and understanding this key theme. Blokland argues that there has been too much focus on community as a stable construct, formed by durable relationships with kin, friends, social groups or neighbours. She draws attention to the non-durable, fluid encounters that constitute community, theorizing communities as shared urban practices in a globalizing world. The book proposes two core ways of thinking about community: the dimension of familiarity, defined by our ability to construct identities, and the dimension of access, defined by our freedom to enter and leave urban spaces. These dimensions form various urban configurations which enable us to experience and practise community in diverse ways. As this book maintains, community is after all an urban practice, not a fixed state of affairs.

Gemeinschaft als urbane Praxis
Was macht Gemeinschaft im Stadtleben aus? Gemeinschaft ist ein zentrales Konzept der Stadtforschung, aber begrifflich vage und empirisch schwer zu fassen. Zudem liegt der Fokus der wissenschaftlichen Erschließung zu oft einseitig auf stabilen Beziehungen zu Verwandten, Freunden oder Nachbarn. Talja Blokland leistet einen innovativen Beitrag zu Definition und Verständnis von Gemeinschaft und fasst diese gegen gängige Lehrmeinungen als gemeinsame urbane Praxis in einer globalisierten Welt auf. Damit bietet sie alternative Denkansätze für urbane Konfigurationen, die es uns ermöglichen, Gemeinschaft auf unterschiedliche Weise sowie als dynamischen Prozess zu begreifen.
