Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The networked polycentric mega-city region is a fresh 21st century urban phenomenon.

This book analyzes eight such regions in North West Europe.

Download or read book International and Transnational Perspectives on Urban Systems written by Celine Rozenblat and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the recent evolutions of cities in the world according to entirely revised theoretical fundamentals of urban systems. It relies on a vision of cities sharing common dynamic features as co-evolving entities in complex systems. Systems of cities that are interdependent in their evolutions are characterized in the context of that dynamics. They are identified on various geographical scales—worldwide, regional, or national. Each system exhibits peculiarities that are related to its demographic, economic, and geopolitical history, and that are underlined by the systematic comparison of continental and regional urban systems, following a common template throughout the book. Multi-scale urban processes, whether local (one city), or within national systems (systems of cities), or linked to the expansion of transnational networks (towards global urban systems) throughout the world over the period 1950–2010 are deeply analyzed in 16 chapters. This global overview challenges urban governance for designing policies facing globalization and the subsequent ecological transition. The answers, which emerge from the diversity of situations in the world, add some reflections on and recommendations to the “urban system framework” proposed in the Habitat III agenda.

Download or read book Planning and Design Perspectives for Land Take Containment written by Benedetta Giudice and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-03 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to provide a framework for the concept of land take, the practice by which natural lands are lost to artificial land development practices, and present its ecological implications in urban environments. In particular, the book intends to contextualize land take and its ecological implications in the field of planning through the analysis of the evolution of the relationship that exists between ecology and urban and regional planning, with case studies focusing on cities in Europe. Urban and regional planning (specifically in terms of tools, policies and strategies) play a central role in the redevelopment of this relationship, and through this perspective the text explores some operational criteria and guiding strategies for the creation of innovative scenarios of planning and design. The book is indeed mainly based upon an ecological planning-oriented perspective, with the attempt of creating a strong link between the plan and the project that will be useful for students, researchers, policy makers, and urban planners and designers.

Book excerpt: Aujourd'hui, la majorité des habitants de la planète sont des urbains et certaines villes se sont tellement développées qu'elles sont devenues des métropoles. On travaille, habite, s'amuse, se cultive dans des villes immenses, tentaculaires, qui offrent quantité d'opportunités et de services... mais aussi de contraintes. Souvent perçue comme une source de pollution ou de nuisance, la métropole est avant tout un formidable réservoir d'énergies, et ce dans tous les domaines : économique, culturel, social ou environnemental. Face à des mégalopoles comme New York, Shanghai ou Mexico, les villes européennes, comme Paris, Londres, Rome ou Barcelone ont de nouveaux défis à relever. Fortes de la richesse de leur patrimoine et de leur culture, elles n'en sont pas moins concernées, comme toutes les métropoles, par les problèmes de transport, de logement ou de ségrégation. Car la dimension de la ville n'est pas sans poser nombre de questions : comment trouver ses repères au sein de la métropole? Y grandir? Y vivre ensemble? S'y déplacer? Comment la gouverner? Comment limiter son impact sur l'environnement? Autant de questions auxquelles les métropoles, notamment en Europe, devront répondre afin d'offrir au plus grand nombre tout ce qu'une très grande ville propose au quotidien.

Download or read book Small Towns and Decentralisation in India written by Rémi de Bercegol and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-29 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the impact that decentralisation reforms, initiated in the early 1990s, have had on small towns in India. It specifically focuses on small towns in Uttar Pradesh, one of the most densely populated and poorest states in India. Although considered home to one of the oldest urban civilisations, India remains one of the least urbanised regions in the world. At the same time, the country has many million-strong metropolises that are among the world’s largest megacities, as well as a multitude of small and medium-sized towns and cities. This paradoxical urbanisation, against a backdrop of reforms, has interested the scientific community to gain a more nuanced understanding of the changes and challenges involved. This book analyses an urban environment often overlooked by researchers and public authorities, namely, that of small towns. These towns are of vital importance as this is where the bulk of future urban development will take place. However, decades after implementation of the reforms, the majority of reviews and assessments have focused on large cities and so the impacts of the reform on small towns are still poorly understood. This book includes extensive primary data about political, technical and financial municipal issues in small towns of northern India and, is therefore, of interest to students, researchers and planners working on urban and regional studies in the global South.
Download or read book Governance and City Regions written by Karsten Zimmermann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-24 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: City-regions are areas where the daily journeys for work, shopping and leisure frequently cross administrative boundaries. They are seen as engines of the national economy, but are also facing congestion and disparities. Thus, all over the world, governments attempt to increase problem-solving capacities in city-regions by institutional reform and a shift of functions. This book analyses the recent reforms and changes in the governance of city-regions in France, Germany and Italy. It covers themes such as the impact of austerity measures, territorial development, planning and state modernisation. The authors provide a systematic cross-country perspective on two levels, between six city-regions and between the national policy frameworks in these three countries. They use a solid comparative framework, which refers to the four dimensions functions, institutions and governance, ideas and space. They describe the course of the reforms, the motivations and the results, and consequently, they question the widespread metropolitan fever or resurgence of city-regions and provide a better understanding of recent changes in city-regional governance in Europe. The primary readership will be researchers and master students in planning, urban studies, urban geography, political science and governance studies, especially those interested in metropolitan regions and / or decentralisation. Due to the uniqueness of the work, the book will be of particular interest to scholars working on the comparative European dimension of territorial governance and planning.
