Download or read book Liverpool Beyond the Brink written by Michael Parkinson and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-31 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liverpool Beyond the Brink is a fascinating commentary on the economic decline that caused the physical, social and political fragmentation of the imperial city during the 1970s and the efforts since then to revive and reconnect. It charts Liverpool's fall in the 1980s, its gradual normalisation in the 1990s, its staggering achievements and, as an European city in the first part of this century, its efforts to be ambitious in an age of austerity. This thought-provoking work asks: how far has Liverpool come and where does it now stand in comparison with thirty years ago and alongside other cities in the UK? What were the most important forces driving change? Who helped the most and who helped the least? Who and where gained the most and who and where gained the least? Finally, the author asks what is next for Liverpool: what are the current challenges for the city? Liverpool Beyond the Brink identifies the key economic, social and political challenges facing the city today to ensure there is increased productivity, that the benefits of the city's renaissance are experienced by all the people in Liverpool in all parts of the city.

Download or read book The empire in one city written by Sheryllynne Haggerty and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the late eighteenth century to the early twentieth century, Liverpool was frequently referred to as the ‘second city of the empire’. Yet, the role of Liverpool within the British imperial system and the impact on the city of its colonial connections remain underplayed in recent writing on both Liverpool and the empire. However, ‘inconvenient’ this may prove, this specially-commissioned collection of essays demonstrates that the imperial dimension deserves more prevalence in both academic and popular representations of Liverpool’s past. Indeed, if Liverpool does represent the ‘World in One City’ – the slogan for Liverpool’s status as European Capital of Culture in 2008 – it could be argued that this is largely down to Merseyside’s long-term interactions with the colonial world, and the legacies of that imperial history. In the context of Capital of Culture year and growing interest in the relationship between British provincial cities and the British empire, this book will find a wide audience amongst academics, students and history enthusiasts generally.

Download or read book Transforming Distressed Global Communities written by Fritz Wagner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of our global cities are distressed and facing a host of issues: economic collapse in the face of rising expectations, social disintegration and civil unrest, and ecological degradation and the threats associated with climate change, including more frequent and more severe natural disasters. Our long-held assumptions about man and nature and how they interact are defunct. We realize now that we can no longer continue to build without addressing the long-term impacts of our actions and their spillovers. Energy and natural resources are finite. The way we configure economies has come into question. In the developed world, especially in the United States, infrastructure and the notions that underpin it are outdated. Meanwhile, the developing world is experiencing major, rapid transformations in lifestyles and economies that are affecting billions of people and requiring a whole new way of planning human settlements. Cities are the key to our future; they represent the most effective vehicle for positive advancements in the human condition and environmental change. This volume argues for the need to redesign and re-plan our cities in holistic ways that reflect our new understanding and relate to their diversity and multi-dimensionality. Presenting a range of case studies from around the world, this volume examines how these distressed cities are dealing with these issues in planning for their future. Alongside these empirical chapters are philosophical essays that consider the future of distressed cities. Bringing together a team of leading scholars, United Nations agencies, non-governmental organizations, private consulting firms, international organizations and foundations, and policy officials, this volume provides a unique and comprehensive overview on how to transform distressed communities into more livable places.

Download or read book One Nation written by Nick Yeomans and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to publicise a vision for the United Kingdom outside the EU. A valid concern of the undecided voter abounds from the uncertainty of the UK trading arrangements post Brexit. I propose a vision based upon free trade with emerging countries, with cheaper food for the UK consumer, the chance for developing nations to escape poverty, and for the UK to lead free trade areas that dwarf the EU and rival China. A vision based upon spending the 10 billion the UK gives to the EU on our NHS and social care, and tax cuts for the low paid. A vision for an economy utilizing the high skills and hi-tech, giving hope to the British people; dynamism and competition through tax cuts; and investment in social housing, infrastructure, and energy independence across the whole United Kingdom. History proves that when the resolve of the free world weakens, then aggressors such as Russia and IS are strengthened. I propose a fully costed programme to rebuild UK defence at all levels, with armaments and aircraft built in the UK. Strong defence will not only counter aggression, but provide high skilled jobs, and strengthen the UK steel industry.
Download or read book Writing the Global City written by Anthony D King and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last three decades, our understanding of the city worldwide has been revolutionized by three innovative theoretical concepts – globalisation, postcolonialism and a radically contested notion of modernity. The idea and even the reality of the city has been extended out of the state and nation and re-positioned in the larger global world. In this book Anthony King brings together key essays written over this period, much of it dominated by debates about the world or global city. Challenging assumptions and silences behind these debates, King provides largely ignored historical and cultural dimensions to the understanding of world city formation as well as decline. Interdisciplinary and comparative, the essays address new ways of framing contemporary themes: the imperial and colonial origin of contemporary world and global cities, actually existing postcolonialisms, claims about urban and cultural homogenisation and the role of architecture and built environment in that process. Also addressed are arguments about indigenous and exogenous perspectives, Eurocentricism, ways of framing vernacular architecture, and the global historical sociology of building types. Wide-ranging and accessible, Writing the Global City provides essential historical contexts and theoretical frameworks for understanding contemporary urban and architectural debates. Extensive bibliographies will make it essential for teaching, reference and research.
