Book Early Childhood in the Anglosphere

Download or read book Early Childhood in the Anglosphere written by Peter Moss and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2024-05-09 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by two leading international experts, Early Childhood in the Anglosphere offers a unique comparison of early childhood education and care services, and parenting leave, across seven high-income Anglophone countries. Peter Moss and Linda Mitchell explore what these systems have in common, including the dominance of ‘childcare’ services, widespread privatisation and marketisation, and weak parenting leave. They highlight the substantial failings of these systems, and the causes and consequences of these failings. But this book is ultimately about hope, about how these failings might be made good through major changes. In other words, it is about transformation: why transformation is both necessary and possible at this particular time, what transformation might look like, and how it might happen. Part of that transformation concerns the need for new policies and structures, but even more it is about how the Anglosphere thinks about early childhood. The authors call for turning away from conceptualising early childhood services as `childcare' and marketised businesses selling commodities to parent-consumers; and for reconceptualising them as education imbued with an ethics of care, a public good available as a right to all children and families, and complemented by well-paid, individual entitlements to parenting leave. Using examples from the Anglosphere and beyond, and in a context of converging crises, the book argues that transformation of thinking, policies and structures is desirable and doable.

Book Critical Mapping for Municipalist Mobilization

Download or read book Critical Mapping for Municipalist Mobilization written by Aruri, Natasha and published by Berlin Universities Publishing. This book was released on 2024-07-31 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CMMM is a project that accompanied and was oriented by the priorities of municipalist activists in Belgrade, Berlin, and Barcelona. Spanning over 3.5 years from 2019 to 2023, it captured and supported the efforts of the Ministry of Space collective, AKS Gemeinwohl, Häuser Bewegen GIMA eG., Kollektiv Raumstation, and Observatori DESC to change the political paradigms shaping the contemporary housing emergency in the three cities. Coordinated by K LAB (TU Berlin) and supported by the Robert Bosch Stiftung, the CMMM team employed various formats of critical mapping to display the legislations, policies, events, hierarchies, as well as the main actors and factors that are shaping the housing crisis. Next to selected examples of how critical mapping has been applied by peers and artists in the three cities, this book scripts the process through which our team created three interactive maps “How (un)affordable is housing in Belgrade?”, “Who buys Berlin?”, and “Stop Evictions!” for Barcelona, which can be explored on the project’s website: cmmm.eu. CMMM‘s outputs intend to support existing and future municipalist activists and collectives pushing to create policy alternatives that integrate the “housing as a right” principle. We hope that our work inspires activists and engaged professionals to employ critical mapping in their endeavors to inform and nudge public opinion, towards advancing demands for justice in the urban and beyond. CMMM ist ein Projekt, das die Prioritäten von städtischen bzw. nachbarschaftlichen Aktivisten in Belgrad, Berlin und Barcelona begleitet und sich an ihnen orientiert. Es erstreckte sich über dreieinhalb Jahre von 2019 bis 2023 und erfasste und unterstützte die Bemühungen von Ministry of Space collective, AKS Gemeinwohl, Häuser Bewegen GIMA eG, Kollektiv Raumstation und Observatori DESC, die politischen Paradigmen, die den Wohnungsnotstand in den drei Städten prägen, durch verschiedene Formate der kritischen Kartierung zu verändern. Unter der Koordination des LABOR K (TU Berlin) und mit Hilfe eines Stipendiums der Robert Bosch Stiftung haben wir Gesetze, Politiken, Ereignisse, Hierarchien und einige der wichtigsten Akteure und Faktoren, die die Wohnsituation prägen, kartiert. Darüber hinaus enthält dieses Buch ausgewählte Beispiele dafür, wie kritisches Mapping in den drei Städten angewandt wurde, und es beschreibt, wie unser Team die drei interaktiven Karten "How (un)affordable is housing in Belgrade?", "Who buys Berlin?" und "Stop Evictions!" für Barcelona erstellt hat, die auf der Projektwebsite cmmm.eu eingesehen werden können. Durch die verschiedenen CMMM-Materialien in diesem Buch und auf der Projektwebsite stellen wir Informationen zur Verfügung, um heutige und künftige Bewegungen und Kollektive die darauf drängen, politische Alternativen zu schaffen, und die das Prinzip “Recht auf Wohnen" in politische Programme zu integrieren versuchen, zu unterstützen. Zudem hoffen wir, Aktivist*innen, engagierte Fachleute, Wissenschaftler*innen und andere dazu zu inspirieren mit Hilfe von kritischem Mapping die öffentliche Meinung und die allgemeine Wahrnehmung zu beeinflussen, und den Diskurs zu beflügeln um Forderungen nach Gerechtigkeit in der Stadt und darüber hinaus voranzutreiben.

Download or read book Megaregional China written by Richard Hu and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-16 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book unravels China’s new megaregional structure, new megaregional planning and development, new megaregional governance, and new regional planning system. It draws upon a diversity of megaregional cases: city clusters of the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region, Yangtze River delta region, and Greater Bay Area; and metropolitan circles of Chengdu, Hangzhou, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Zhengzhou. Megaregions are the new form of Chinese-style urbanisation. China’s new discourse of ‘high-quality development’ and ‘new-type urbanisation’ is reshaping its megaregional strategy. Imbalance and fragmentation characterise the diversity of megaregions - developed or developing, coastal or inland. The central goal of megaregional planning and governance is to achieve integrated, balanced development of them. Hu challenges the official notion of ‘top-level design’ that dominates the planning, governance, and development of China’s megaregions. Instead, he argues for the importance of engaging nongovernmental stakeholders, rebalancing the government-market relationality, encouraging bottom-up initiatives, and enabling grassroots ingenuity. The volume offers the first and most comprehensive study of megaregional China in the new contexts of both national development and urban development. It will be of interest to anyone looking into urban and regional development, and Chinese studies.

Bowman,Irving B. Harris Professor of Child Development, Erikson Institute “The key to successful change is continued development of the frames of reference. Both editors have respected the past, listened to the implementers, and provided a context for moving forward. Like efforts to build systems of child development, which we must now link to growth in specific children we know by name, the book ends with robust examples of the work in progress. Sharon Lynn Kagan and Kristie Kauerz don't just talk about the work, they participate in the creation of change.” —Sherri Killins, Ed.D, Commissioner, Department of Early Education and Care, Massachusetts

Book Urban Policy in the Framework of the 2030 Agenda

Download or read book Urban Policy in the Framework of the 2030 Agenda written by María Ángeles Huete García and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-01 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides comparative information about the materialization of the 2030 Agenda in urban policy in ten countries located in Europe and Latin America. The Declaration of Quito is the starting point for the implementation of SDGs into public policies in urban areas. However, there are fewer efforts to understand the impact that the 2030 Agenda and, specifically, the instruments developed for its application in cities. The information of each country is presented in relation to two aspects: the construction of a public policy style in each country and the results and impacts on urban public policies implemented in specific cities within the national frameworks. The first means the emergence of a public policy framework and its materialization in public policy instruments. In this regard, the book raises the following questions: To what extent have the SDGs come to generate a common framework for cities in the countries? And how Urban SDGs are translated to national urban policies? The second, results and impacts at the local level, is related to two aspects: a) substantive: the goals of the policy and b) procedural: management aspects related to the policy design, governance, and institutional capacity building.

Book Urban Planning and its Discontents

Download or read book Urban Planning and its Discontents written by Darshini Mahadevia and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-16 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, the first of its kind, introduces various aspects of urban planning in India and contributes towards debates on changes required in the current practice. Urban planning in India means many things to city residents and is used generically to include all interventions in the cities, such as public policy design, institutional design, spatial and territorial plans, infrastructure plans, public administration, community participation, and their implementation through programmes, schemes, and projects. While urban planning is expected to meet the global development agendas of equitable and just urbanisation, climate change and sustainable development goals (SDGs), in practice it has largely remained confined to statutory spatial planning represented by ‘Master Plan’ or ‘Comprehensive Plan’. This volume delves into this world of urban planning as critical insiders to see how it works in India, analysing the city level spatial plans, the Master or Development Plans, of select cities to assess whether these are capable of addressing the global agendas and coordinate with all other plans prepared for the city. It examines whether it would work in reference to the contemporary issues, SDGs, and global agendas, and discusses strategies on how to make it work better. It also deals with each of the above stated criticisms of the practice and examines the debates, data, approaches, agendas, plans, and the future of urban planning in India. This book comes in at a time when the urban planners and policy makers have themselves begun to discuss a need to relook at urban planning practices and tools to meet the future requirements of urbanisation in India. It will be a useful reference volume for the students, scholars and practitioners alike, and be of interest to researchers and students of urban planning, architecture, public administration, civil engineering, geography, economics, and sociology. It will also be useful for policy makers and professionals working in the areas of town and country planning.
