Download or read book Latino City written by Erualdo R. Gonzalez and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-02-03 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American cities are increasingly turning to revitalization strategies that embrace the ideas of new urbanism and the so-called creative class in an attempt to boost economic growth and prosperity to downtown areas. These efforts stir controversy over residential and commercial gentrification of working class, ethnic areas. Spanning forty years, Latino City provides an in-depth case study of the new urbanism, creative class, and transit-oriented models of planning and their implementation in Santa Ana, California, one of the United States’ most Mexican communities. It provides an intimate analysis of how revitalization plans re-imagine and alienate a place, and how community-based participation approaches address the needs and aspirations of lower-income Latino urban areas undergoing revitalization. The book provides a critical introduction to the main theoretical debates and key thinkers related to the new urbanism, transit-oriented, and creative class models of urban revitalization. It is the first book to examine contemporary models of choice for revitalization of US cities from the point of view of a Latina/o-majority central city, and thus initiates new lines of analysis and critique of models for Latino inner city neighborhood and downtown revitalization in the current period of socio-economic and cultural change. Latino City will appeal to students and scholars in urban planning, urban studies, urban history, urban policy, neighborhood and community development, central city development, urban politics, urban sociology, geography, and ethnic/Latino Studies, as well as practitioners, community organizations, and grassroots leaders immersed in these fields.

Les acheteurs peuvent generalement telecharger une copie gratuite scannee du livre original (sans les coquilles) aupres de l'editeur. Non reference. Non illustre. 1866 edition. Extrait: ...compagnie que les West-India dodu. produits; mais le moyen de tenir son attention eveillee au milieu d'un va-et-vient perpetuel de petites brouettes chargees de marchandises, qui courent avec des roues de fer entre les jambes des passans?--Ici tout travaille, tout a une forme vivante. Des grues scellees par la base dans la pierre agitent leur long cou et tendent du bout de leur bec des sacs remplis de biscuits aux navires en train d'appareiller. De temps en temps il faut passer d'un cote des bassins a l'autre, sur le rebord des portes qui servent a retenir les eaux: ce sont a la fois des ponts tournans et des ecluses. On s'enfonce ainsi dans de nouveaux quartiers, dans des rues s'ouvrant derriere des rues, ou des hommes gravement assis devant des tables dressees en plein air enregistrent les marchandises sur un livre de comptes. Cependant une heure vient de sonner a l'horloge des docks: les travaux manuels sont suspendus, des groupes d'ouvriers en veste de toile blanche et en pantalon de velours de coton a cotes s'acheminent vers la grande porte de sortie pour chercher leur diner. Nous profiterons de leur absence et de la solitude relative des quais pour examiner les vaisseaux. Les bassins artificiels des East-India docks, ayant ete destines a recevoir de tres grands navires, n'ont jamais moins de vingt-trois pieds d'eau, dans laquelle sommeillent des batimens de toutes les formes et de tous les pays. Les Anglais admirent fort ces machines flottantes, sorties en grande partie de leurs chantiers, et pour peu qu'on vive parmi eux, on se laisse aisement gagner a...

Download or read book Local Government and Strategic Choice written by J.K. Friend and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-08-03 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local Government and Strategic Choice, Second Edition is the result of a study of policy-formation in the City Council of Coventry during a four-year period. This edition is a reappraisal of the earlier edition, with an emphasis on ""connective planning."" Part I describes the planning strategies made in an urban setting. This part explains the City and the City Council, organization of the local authority, decision-making mechanisms, developmental planning including land use, school system planning, and cross-departmental planning. Part II is a study of city planning as a process of strategic choice that has been altered in many different ways depending on the purpose. This part also discusses the problems encountered in the planning process such as the existence of organization boundaries in the government sector. Part III deals with a fictional case that relates the uncertainties and political realities of decision-making in an urban setting. The case studies cover land allocation and development, tax, and traffic issues. Part IV discusses organizational challenge and also touches in some way on the future organizational structure of local governments. This text then explains the need for ""connective planning"" of how individuals build flexible networks among decision-making agencies to serve the various interests of both the private and government sectors. This book is suitable for sociologists, city administrators and officials, local government officials, heads of government agencies, and heads of planning and engineering departments of local government units.
