Together with our partners at CoLab Radio, Polis is happy to present our newest project, the Polis Podcast on CoLab Radio. Our goal is to bring you a stimulating series of discussions, debates and interviews on a wide range of subjects from as many different cities as we can manage.<br />
<br />
This inaugural Beta version features a conversation on social justice and Amsterdam between Polis's Alex Schafran and two Dutch urban scholars, Jan Willem Duyvendak and Justus Uitermark. The discussion ranges from Amsterdam's legendary status as a "just city" — which Uitermark contests may be transformed into "just a nice city" — to feelings of home and belonging, the need to "hack" the metrics cities use to measure justice and happiness, questions of "hard" versus "soft gentrification," and the role of science in urban studies.</div>

The evolution of great world cities : Urban wealth and economic growth
, économie, histoire urbaine, géographie, geography, technology, technologie, infrastructures, world city, ville mondiale, Venice, Venise, Amsterdam, London, Londres, New York, Kennedy Christopher, croissance urbaine
<div><b>Abstract from the publisher :</b></div> </div> Some cities seem destined to become major financial capitals, yet never do—Seville, for instance, was the centre of Spain's opulent New World Empire, but failed to become a financial metropolis. Others, like former colonial backwater Hong Kong, defy the odds by growing into major trading centres. What are the key factors distinguishing those cities that become wealthy from those that don't? Christopher Kennedy illuminates how geography, technology, and especially the infrastructure of urban economies allow cities to develop and thrive.<br /> <br /> The Evolution of Great World Cities unfolds through the tales of several urban centres‐including Venice, Amsterdam, London, and New York City—at key junctures in their histories. Kennedy weaves together significant insights from urbanists such as Jane Jacobs and economists such as John Maynard Keynes, drawing striking parallels between the functioning of ecosystems and of wealthy capitals. The Evolution of Great World Cities offers an accessible introduction to urban economies that 'will change the way you think about cities.'</div> </div> <b>Christophr Kennedy </b>is a Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Toronto.</div> </div>

Virtual issue on Dutch cities : International journal of urban and regional research
The Netherlands, Pays-Bas, Amsterdam, squat, mixité sociale, logement social, projet urbain, citoyenneté, participation, gouvernance, rénovation urbaine, Blokland Talja
<div><b>From the Introduction by Talja Blokland :</b></div> </div> This ‘virtual’ issue of IJURR brings together thirteen articles on Dutch cities, published in print in the journal since 2001 or published online (in ‘EarlyView’) and awaiting publication in print. This set of articles explores some of the ways in which Dutch cities are distinctive, especially in terms of the design, struggles over, and effects of urban policy. The collection is intended to enable scholars who are not specialists on the Netherlands to use Dutch cases to contribute to theorizing the interconnections between state, public policy and public participation. Here, Dutch cities have a particularly strong tradition. As this introduction argues, the articles provide essential insights into the workings and shortcomings of Dutch (although primarily Amsterdam) urban policies, and clearly show how the instrumental rationality of such policies have come to prevail, while substantial rational discussions - or urban politics rather than urban policy - have become of relatively minor importance. This, in combination with a focus on urban policy rather than urbanism in current Dutch urban studies, leave some of the remarkable developments within the fully urbanized Dutch society - in particular the current growth in various forms of exclusionary practices, including those based on race and ethnicity - relatively open for an important new research agenda.</div> </div> <b>Contents :</b></div> </div> Talja Blokland - Introduction</div> Jamie Peck - Recreative city : Amsterdam, vehicular ideas, and the adaptive spaces of creative policy</div> Anita Kokx - Partnerships in urban restructuring : Building long-term relationships or a pragmatic managerial tool?

Ethnic Amsterdam : Immigrants and urban change in the twentieth century

<b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div>

Over the centuries, people from all parts of the world have been drawn to the city of Amsterdam. While immigrants adapted to local customs, opportunities and constraints, their practices and habits have left indelible marks on their adopted city. This fascinating volume Ethnic Amsterdam: Immigrants and Urban Change in the Twentieth Century explores how twentieth-century immigrants - in bringing with them their religions, languages, cuisines, sports, and other material and immaterial aspects of their native countries - have transformed Amsterdam into a cosmopolitan city.</div>

<b>Extract from the introduction by Marco Bontje : </b></div>
</div>
After the conference, the participants have been asked to write a book contribution based on their presentations... While all contributions to this volume have been written by researchers from Amsterdam and Berlin, their contributions partly also deal with other cities : Paris, The Hague, Warsaw, and one contribution even deals with neighbourhoods in the entire German urban system. While the following collection of contributions may look rather eclectic... this section tries to put them in a coherent framework of current research and policy issues related to the broad overarching conference theme: 'living in the 21st-century city'.</div>
