From the outset, the very term ‘sub-urban’ has connoted an inferior form of city in a way that other choices do not—‘exurban’, for instance, would have more explicitly captured the dynamics of development taking place outside traditional walled towns or beyond the original municipal boundary. <br /> <br /> This special issue... has its origins in a collaboration between the editors, who gave joint papers at a conference on urban images in 2003. We subsequently worked on a paper for the Suburban World conference organized in 2008 by the faculty of the Virginia Tech, where we enjoyed the papers presented by the authors featured here (the paper by our colleague Feyzan Erkip came via a more circuitous route, albeit at the same time). We see them as contributing directly to ‘the suburban question’ (itself a title that we have appropriated from Manuel Castells’ innovative The Urban Question (1977)).

Supervisor Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Graham, Malcolm Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1985 Description An account of the resource This study examines the origins, growth and subsequent character of the Victorian suburbs of Oxford, a small provincial city with no industrial base. Major sources include newspapers, census enumerators' returns, deposited plans, and plan registers, rate books, the records of leasehold estates and deeds of properties acquired by the City Council. Chapters are devoted to:- The Creation of the Suburbs; Development Control; the House-Building Industry; Suburban Houses; House-Ownership; Residents of the Suburbs and Life in the Suburbs. Victorian Oxford grew steadily, attracting local migration because of the varied job opportunities. Suburban development was profoundly influenced by topography and the decisions taken by landowners. Corporate landowners preferred leasehold development to outright sale and their concern for reversionary value encouraged the building of high-cost, low-density housing. On freehold estates, too, standards were raised by the social and financial preferences of developers and builders, the introduction of building byelaws and the rising real incomes of potential investors and tenants. Access to cheap freehold plots prolonged the fragmentation of a building industry which depended heavily upon loans and credit. The suburbs were the product of innumerable local and personal decisions, providing a safe income for many private landlords and larger, more sanitary homes for better-off tenants. The new suburbs required many services and facilities, but the provision of these owed much to their social status. With an increasing number of resident councillors, leasehold, middle-class North Oxford had the political and economic power to maintain and enhance its character. Elsewhere, market forces prevailed over amenity, public utilities were grudgingly provided and the limited nature of municipal intervention was most seriously felt. Conditions were ameliorated, however, by those people and organisations who, for various reasons, provided churches, schools and recreational facilities.

In reality of course the city is four dimensional, and one needs to acknowledge the influence of time in planning and design strategies. Similarly, there has been relatively little analysis of the importance of interim, short-term or ‘meanwhile’ activities in urban areas. In an era of increasing pressure on scarce resources, we cannot wait for long-term solutions to vacancy or dereliction. Instead, we need to view temporary uses as increasingly legitimate and important in their own right. They can be a powerful tool through which we can drip-feed initiatives for incremental change – as and when we have the resources – while being guided by a loose-fit vision.<br /> <br /> Peter Bishop and Lesley Williams explore the growing interest among practitioners at the cutting edge of architecture, urban design and regeneration, in temporary, interim, ‘pop-up’ or ‘meanwhile’ uses for land and buildings in our urban areas. They explore the origins and the social, economic and technological drivers behind this phenomenon, and its place within modern planning theory and practice. The Temporary City challenges our preoccupation with long-term strategies and masterplans and questions our ability to achieve these in the face of increasing resource constraints and political and economic uncertainty. The book includes sixty-eight diverse case studies from Europe and North America which illustrate the range of temporary use opportunities and the benefits that these can bring.<br /> <br /> This is essential reading for all those struggling to address the current problems of urban renewal in an era of great change. It offers a prism through which to view the city as a rich mosaic of time-limited, but inspiring urban interventions.</div>  </div> <b>Peter Bishop </b>is an architect, advisor to the Mayor of London, Visiting Professor at Nottingham Trent University, and an Honorary Fellow of University College London and RIBA.</div> <b>Lesley Williams </b>is a freelance consultant specialising in the design and facilitation of stakeholder involvement processes, consensus building and partnership development.</div>  </div> Type The nature or genre of the resource Ouvrage aménagement urbain Bishop Peter projet urbain renouvellement urbain Williams Lesley Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Larry Bennett here tackles some of our more commonly held ideas about the Windy City—inherited from such icons as Theodore Dreiser, Carl Sandburg, Daniel Burnham, Robert Park, Sara Paretsky, and Mike Royko—with the goal of better understanding Chicago as it is now: the third city.<br /> <br /> Bennett calls contemporary Chicago the third city to distinguish it from its two predecessors: the first city, a sprawling industrial center whose historical arc ran from the Civil War to the Great Depression; and the second city, the Rustbelt exemplar of the period from around 1950 to 1990. The third city features a dramatically revitalized urban core, a shifting population mix that includes new immigrant streams, and a growing number of middle-class professionals working in new economy sectors. It is also a city utterly transformed by the top-to-bottom reconstruction of public housing developments and the ambitious provision of public works like Millennium Park. It is, according to Bennett, a work in progress spearheaded by Richard M. Daley, a self-consciously innovative mayor whose strategy of neighborhood revitalization and urban renewal is a prototype of city governance for the twenty-first century. The Third City ultimately contends that to understand Chicago under Daley’s charge is to understand what metropolitan life across North America may well look like in the coming decades.</div>  </div> <b>Larry Bennett </b>is professor of political science at DePaul University.</div>  </div> Type The nature or genre of the resource Ouvrage Bennett Larry Chicago Daley Richard M. gouvernance histoire urbaine politique de la ville renouvellement urbain Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The theoretical model that has inspired the creation of Sophia Antipolis is governed by a top-down approach. The agglomerations externalities, had not sprung up naturally from the dynamics of entreprises located in the cluster. The economic model of Sophia Antipolis is completely different of the traditional innovative district studied by Alfred Marshall (bottom-up approach). Nowadays, the cluster of Sophia-Antipolis is rich of external linkages, but poor of internal relations between the firms. In this local system of Innovation, a large numbers of actors in different sectors are present but any of them is sufficiently dominant to drive the cluster orientations. In this sense, this Local System of Innovation (LSI) is not reliable in the long run. Very few, almost no technological collaborations can be observed. The sustainability of the Sophia-Antipolis cluster does not really depend on the territory. the weakness of the cooperation between companies of the cluster can be partially explained by the local multinational firms which have their branch facilities located in the local system of innovation but at the same time their head office external to the cluster with main decision taken from outside, limiting the potential for local synergies and local collaboration. The aim of this paper is to understand the coordination mechanisms between enterprises and the main factors of success who made Sophia-Antipolis the largest technology park in the Europe. Such a study presents the Top-down strategy of developpement choosen by the government from the origins of Sophia-Antipolis to promote agglomeration externalities and the increasing returns to adoption gained by firms entering in the park.

With a sweep that encompasses New York, London, Berlin, Philadelphia, and Toronto, among others, Christopher Klemek traces changing responses to the challenging issues that most affected the lives of the world’s cities. <br /> <br /> In the postwar decades, the principles of modernist planning came to be challenged—in the grassroots revolts against the building of freeways through urban neighborhoods, for instance, or by academic critiques of slum clearance policy agendas—and then began to collapse entirely. Over the 1960s, several alternative views of city life emerged among neighborhood activists, New Left social scientists, and neoconservative critics. Ultimately, while a pessimistic view of urban crisis may have won out in the United States and Great Britain, Klemek demonstrates that other countries more successfully harmonized urban renewal and its alternatives. This much anticipated book provides one of the first truly international perspectives on issues central to historians and planners alike, making it essential reading for anyone engaged with either field.</div>  </div> <b>Christopher Klemek </b>is Assistant Professor in the Department of History at George Washington University.</div>  </div> Type The nature or genre of the resource Ouvrage aménagement urbain après-guerre histoire de l'urbanisme Klemek Christopher politique urbaine post-war renouvellement urbain twentieth century vingtième siècle Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Not only has the right formula to be found of how to satisy the escalating demand, both in terms of quantity and quality, but also of where to locate such housing. The New Cities and Settlements in the desert seem to be the only option left in order to combat the continuous loss of the agricultural land to the expanding existing urban centres. The New Cities however, initiated in the late 70's, failed to attract the low income groups of settlers. This was mainly due to the lack of affordable housing for such groups. Whilst thousands of finished residential units remain unoccupied, the workers employed in some of the New Cities' factories are commuting on a daily basis to and from the closest urban or agricultural centres near Cairo. This research argues that aided self-help and user interventions in general could offer an appropriate answer. When most of the New Cities and Settlements were planned many self-help schemes were proposed but were frequently abandoned in favour of the conventional medium rise mass housing approach. Little or no research has been carried out to evaluate the very few schemes which were implemented. The decision to cancel self-help schemes was entirely political and seemed to stem from the governments fear of the creation of sub-standard and poor image built environments within the New Cities. The research based its defence on projects which allow user interventions and participation in two Case Studies. The first concerns multi-storey extensions informally built by the residents in 5 storey walk-up public housing flats located in Heiwan and El Tebeen. The second deals with a core housing project located in The Tenth of Ramadan, one of the New Cities. The multi-storey extensions of Helwan and El Tebeen provided clear . evidence on the potentialities and capabilities of low income users working and living in positive and supportive circumstances. The Tenth of Ramadan Core Housing Scheme provides explicit and substantiated proof of the benefits of self-help and user intervention approaches, in contrast to the views of the Government and Local Authority who condemn the process as negative development leading to a lowering of standards and poor quality environments. The research argues that self-help has succeeded where the mass housing approach has failed.The involvement of the household and community group are seen as integral decison makers in the planning and design process. The user's efforts to transform and consolidate their housing requirements should be appreciated and encouraged and to achieve this the research concludes that a review of management and design procedures would be the first step towards achieving this aim.

Ses élus, qui pour la plupart faisaient leurs premiers pas dans la carrière, se sont exercés aux règles du jeu politique dans un contexte de décentralisation qui réorganisait les échelles du gouvernement local et transférait des compétences au profit des autorités déconcentrées et des présidents de commune. Partis à l'assaut des villes au nom de valeurs morales et religieuses, les élus PJD ont vite adopté une approche pragmatique de leurs fonctions, se présentant désormais avant tout comme des gestionnaires efficaces du local. En phase avec les injonctions néolibérales, ils ont mis en avant leurs formations et leurs spécialisations respectives. La référence religieuse s'est estompée, se déclinant en fonction des publics, autour de mots d'ordre consensuels, comme la proximité, la probité ou la moralité. Affichant un clientélisme moral, les élus PJD ont adopté une idéologie de l'action pour résoudre les problèmes quotidiens des électeurs. Se présentant comme des techniciens du local, ils ont également repris à leur compte les caractéristiques de l'homme de bien comme celles de l'homme d'appareil, véritable cheville ouvrière du parti à l'échelle locale Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context http://halshs.archives-ouvertes.fr/halshs-00554017 http://halshs.archives-ouvertes.fr/docs/00/55/40/17/PDF/CATUSSE_et_ZAKI_The_Transformations_of_PJD_in_Morocco_in_the_face_of_Urban_Governance.pdf Language A language of the resource FRE Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Returning to Political Parties?

This includes the almost tenfold increase in the average size of the world’s 100 largest cities between 1900 and 2000. It also describes the changing distribution of cities between regions. In 1900, Europe had more than half the world’s 100 largest cities, now it has only 10. In 1900, Asia had 22 of the world’s 100 largest cities; now it has nearly half of them. But the paper also explains how and why the world is actually less urbanized and less dominated by large cities than expected and questions whether rapid urbanization will continue in Africa. The long-term trends in urban change in each region are discussed, as are the changes in the economic, social and political drivers – for instance the political changes associated with the ending of colonial empires and the achievement of independence and the economic changes associated with globalization. Today, the main driver of urban change is the geography of where profit-seeking enterprises choose to concentrate (or to avoid). This can be seen in the how the world’s largest economies have a high concentration of the world’s urban population and its largest cities. Also in how increases in levels of urbanization for most low- and middle-income nations over the last 50 years track increases in the proportion of GDP generated by industry and services and the proportion of the labour force working in these sectors.</div>  </div> <b>David Satterthwaite</b> is a Senior Fellow at the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) and also on the teaching staff of the London School of Economics and of the Development Planning Unit, University College London.

It is only by deciphering their commonalities that we become able to form a clear picture of the Chinese city's internal structure and to intelligently evaluate and organize our diverse impressions.

Burgess : Nine years ago the central topic at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Society was "Rural Sociology." So great was the demand for the volume, especially for use in classes in universities and colleges, that a second edition was necessary. This year when the papers read at the main sessions of the Society were organized around the subject "The City" the Executive Committee, in anticipation of a like interest, authorized the publication of a special edition, to which it has seemed best to give the title The Urban Community. This volume may be taken, perhaps, as a prospectus of the present state and promise of sociological research in this field. The introductory paper by President Robert E. Park indicates the range of the materials for research represented in the papers which follow. At the same time, it seeks to chart and analyze the significance of the interrelationships of the different techniques of research, ecological, cultural, and statistical, which have been and are being applied to the study of the city. The main divisions of this volume mark off certain of these fields even more sharply: human nature and the city; the social biology of city life; statistics of the city; the ecology of the city.

How has the social composition of cities changed in the postwar era ? What do gated communities tell us about social fragmentation ? Is public space in the contemporary city being privatized and militarized ? How can the urban self still be defined ? What role does consumer aestheticism have to play in this ? These and many more questions are addressed by this uniquely conceived multidisciplinary study, which offers two books in one.   The first part consists of a synthesizing theoretical description of the contemporary urban condition as It Is being represented today within the various subdisciplines of urban studies. The second part complements abstract speculations by concrete examples : 18 International case studies substantiate and deepen the findings presented in the theoretical part. Thus, a dialectic is developed whereby detail and generalization stand to each other in a relation of productive tension.   The Urban Condition seeks to interfere In current debates over the future and Interpretation of our urban landscapes by reuniting studies of the city as a physical and material phenomenon and as a cultural and mental (arte)fact.   Type The nature or genre of the resource Ouvrage aménagement urbain disneyfication gentrification Ghent Urban Studies Team métropole métropolisation urbanisation ville globale vingtième siècle https://crevilles.org/files/original/e58c9fecb51e0e893ebf34093ea9fd2c.jpg 42da9561707b1c68106b1e3cb3835760 Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.
