Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from City Growth Essen It would be impossible to measure the savings consequent upon this intelligent hastening of the economic process which brings land into its proper use. The savings which will be made will be mea sured not only in terms of greater utility at that moment in land, but also by the enormous expenses incident to mistakes in urban planning and development. Streets will be built of more adequate size and uses more wisely allocated to the territories to which they are best adapted and toward which they would eventually, inevitably gravitate. In any study of American cities, it must be kept constantly in mind that American cities are as yet young and are consequently dynamic. The comparatively static conditions in cities of European countries may offer excellent opportunities for research, but forbid unthinking following of methods and plans worked out in those cities. The enormous amount of wealth and of population concentrated in American cities staggers the imagination when it is remembered that that concentration has been accomplished within but little more than a century. Concepts that today are adequate, tomorrow have been laid on the shelf as antiquated by the dynamic force of Amer ican growth. Here in the span of a decade or two one can see the results of forces which in a more static community might take generations to work out.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from City Development, a Study of Parks, Gardens, and Culture-Institutes, 1904: A Report to the Carnegie Dunfermline Trust The world is now rapidly entering upon a new era of civic development, one in which "progress" is no longer described as in mere quantity of wealth and increase of population, but is seen to depend upon the quality of these. The last generation has had to carry out great works of prime necessity, as of water supply, sanitation, and the like; elementary education, too, has been begun: so that to some, even pioneers in their day, our city development may seem well-nigh complete. But a new phase of civic development has become urgent- that of ensuring healthier conditions, of providing happier and nobler ones. In this movement great Continental capitals have indicated the way: German cities are now leading; American cities are actively astir. Where one small Scottish burgh may take up an active initiative the larger (and despite our great local gift still the wealthier) industrial and university cities cannot lag; nor will the great English municipalities, least of all London itself, long be content to follow. In fact, social and municipal activities, hitherto mainly on utilitarian or remedial lines, are now increasingly progressing towards cultural betterment also. Alike in interpreting things actual, and in designing things possible. I have not hesitated to be definite, even at the risk of criticism.

Download or read book The New Urban Frontier written by Neil Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-10-26 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why have so many central and inner cities in Europe, North America and Australia been so radically revamped in the last three decades, converting urban decay into new chic? Will the process continue in the twenty-first century or has it ended? What does this mean for the people who live there? Can they do anything about it? This book challenges conventional wisdom, which holds gentrification to be the simple outcome of new middle-class tastes and a demand for urban living. It reveals gentrification as part of a much larger shift in the political economy and culture of the late twentieth century. Documenting in gritty detail the conflicts that gentrification brings to the new urban 'frontiers', the author explores the interconnections of urban policy, patterns of investment, eviction, and homelessness. The failure of liberal urban policy and the end of the 1980s financial boom have made the end-of-the-century city a darker and more dangerous place. Public policy and the private market are conspiring against minorities, working people, the poor, and the homeless as never before. In the emerging revanchist city, gentrification has become part of this policy of revenge.
Download or read book The Adult Learner written by Malcolm S. Knowles and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-20 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of Malcolm Knowles’ pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centred approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. The 9th edition of The Adult Learner has been revised to include: Updates to the book to reflect the very latest advancements in the field. The addition of two new chapters on diversity and inclusion in adult learning, and andragogy and the online adult learner. An updated supporting website. This website for the 9th edition of The Adult Learner will provide basic instructor aids including a PowerPoint presentation for each chapter. Revisions throughout to make it more readable and relevant to your practices. If you are a researcher, practitioner, or student in education, an adult learning practitioner, training manager, or involved in human resource development, this is the definitive book in adult learning you should not be without.

Download or read book World Cities in a World System written by Paul L. Knox and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-07-06 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities such as New York, Tokyo and London are the centres of transnational corporate headquarters, of international finance, transnational institutions, and telecommunications. They are the dominant loci in the contemporary world economy, and the influence of a relatively small number of cities within world affairs has been a feature of the shift from an international to a more global economy which took place during the 1970s and 1980s. This book brings together the leading researchers in the field to write seventeen original essays which cover both the theoretical and practical issues involved. They examine the nature of world cities, and their demands as special places in need of specific urban policies; the relationship between world cities within global networks of economic flows; and the relationship between world city research and world-systems analysis and other theoretical frameworks.
Download or read book Democracy and Education written by John Dewey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1916 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

Download or read book Urban Religion in Late Antiquity written by Asuman Lätzer-Lasar and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Religion is an emerging research field cutting across various social science disciplines, all of them dealing with “lived religion” in contemporary and (mainly) global cities. It describes the reciprocal formation and mutual influence of religion and urbanity in both their material and ideational dimensions. However, this approach, if duly historicized, can be also fruitfully applied to antiquity. Aim of the volume is the analysis of the entanglement of religious communication and city life during an arc of time that is characterised by dramatic and even contradicting developments. Bringing together textual analyses and archaelogical case studies in a comparative perspective, the volume zooms in on the historical context of the advanced imperial and late antique Mediterranean space (2nd–8th centuries CE).
