Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015 many camps were opened to accommodate newly arriving migrants in Berlin. Christian Sowa studies this form of accommodation. Moving beyond an exclusive focus on borders and migration, he argues that camp accommodation must be thought of and studied as part of the urban context and as a specific form of housing. The study provides an in-depth case study, discusses policy alternatives, argues for »housing for all instead of camps«, and contributes to bringing urban and migration studies into public discussion. In times of new waves of migration, the topic of migrant accommodation within urban environments remains highly relevant today.
Download or read book Tent City Urbanism written by Andrew Heben and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tent City Urbanism explores the intersection of the "tiny house movement" and tent cities organized by the homeless to present an accessible and sustainable housing paradigm that can improve the quality of life for everyone. While tent cities tend to evoke either sympathy or disgust, the author finds such informal settlements actually address many of the shortfalls of more formal responses to homelessness. Tent cities often exemplify self-management, direct democracy, tolerance, mutual aid, and resourceful strategies for living with less. This book presents a vision for how cities can constructively build upon these positive dynamics rather than continuing to seek evictions and pay the high costs of policing homelessness. The tiny house village provides a path forward to transitional and affordable housing within the grasp of a local community. It offers a bottom-up approach to the provision of shelter that is economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable-both for the individual and the city. The concept was first pioneered by Portland's Dignity Village, and has since been re-imagined by Eugene's Opportunity Village and Olympia's Quixote Village. Now this innovative model has emerged from the Northwest to inspire projects in Madison, Austin, and Ithaca, and is being pursued by advocacy groups throughout the country. Along with documenting and articulating the roots of this budding movement, the book provides a practical guide to help catalyze new and existing initiatives in other areas.

Book excerpt: A majestic one-hundred-year study of segregation in Los Angeles City of Segregation documents one hundred years of struggle against the enforced separation of racial groups through property markets, constructions of community, and the growth of neoliberalism. This movement history covers the decades of work to end legal support for segregation in 1948; the 1960s Civil Rights movement and CORE’s efforts to integrate LA’s white suburbs; and the 2006 victory preserving 10,000 downtown residential hotel units from gentrification enfolded within ongoing resistance to the criminalization and displacement of the homeless. Andrea Gibbons reveals the shape and nature of the racist ideology that must be fought, in Los Angeles and across the United States, if we hope to found just cities.

Book excerpt: "What happens when temporary architectural structures become permanent? 'From Camp to City' provides an in-depth analysis on the topic. Examining the theme of the refugee camp in the context of urbanism and architecture, the book offers extensive documentation of an urban "borderline case" in the form of the Sahrawi refugee camps in the Algerian desert - temporary spaces of transit that have become more and more permanent in recent decades. In contrast to the predominant understanding of the refugee camps as being either humanitarian or dystopian, 'From Camp to City' investigates how people live and dwell in these informal exterritorial spaces, work, move around, and enjoy themselves. It documents how the camp, instead of being a place of misery, can also be understood as a potential political project. Numerous images and texts on all aspects of life illustrate the emergence of urban structures and the way architecture becomes involved in the underlying political conflict." -- Back cover
Download or read book Social Housing in the Middle East written by Mohammad Gharipour and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As oil-rich countries in the Middle East are increasingly associated with soaring skyscrapers and modern architecture, attention is being diverted away from the pervasive struggles of social housing in those same urban settings. Social Housing in the Middle East traces the history of social housing—both gleaming postmodern projects and bare-bones urban housing structures—in an effort to provide a wider understanding of marginalized spaces and their impact on identities, communities, and class. While architects may have envisioned utopian or futuristic experiments, these buildings were often constructed with the knowledge and skill sets of local workers, and the housing was in turn adapted to suit the modern needs of residents. This tension between local needs and national aspirations are linked to issues of global importance, including security, migration, and refugee resettlement. The essays collected here consider how culture, faith, and politics influenced the solutions offered by social housing; they provide an insightful look at how social housing has evolved since the 19th century and how it will need to adapt to suit the 21st.

Book excerpt: The Palestinian Camps of Beirut have changed from the temporary sites where tent s were set-up in 1948 into overcrowded and dense neighborhood of multi-story bui ldings. In them live tens of thousands of Palestinians next to many other low in come urban dwellers of diverse national belongings, including Lebanese, Syrian, Sudanese, Sri Lankan, and others. Despite this, policy makers perceives Palestin ian camps as dense, low-income, out of control, illegal settlements, temporary a nd marginal spaces and thus excluded from any planning projects missing the spat ial, social, and economical qualitative aspects of the camps' presence in the ci ty. On the basis of one case study, the thesis argues that the camp is an active, dy namic, popular part of the city that have provided many low-income city dwellers a safe haven in times of crisis and a source of income because of vibrant local economies. Furthermore, camps have come to play an important role in relation t o urban dynamics in the wider city. One place in which such dynamics between cam p and city can be investigated is in the organization and operation of rental ho using production in these camps. Taking the housing rental housing production as an entry point to investigate th e role played by the camp's housing stock at the scale of the city; the thesis s eeks to prove that the camp through its housing market affects and is affected b y the city wide dynamics. The thesis shows that the camp is playing a vital role in the city, and is in fa ct inscribed in a network of neighbourhood that also includes informal settlemen ts, low/middle/upper-income neighbourhoods and mixed/sectarian settlements in wh ich foreign migrant workers both male of Syrian origin and female of African ori gins and very low income dwellers especially families of Lebanese and other nati onalities find shelters. The thesis explores building principles that have guided the production of the b uilt environment in the camp. It then looks at how these principles were applied in the production of rental units in the camp and investigates their implicatio ns on the livability of the camp.
