Download or read book The Creative Arts in Governance of Urban Renewal and Development written by Rory Shand and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-12 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the role of the creative sector in the governance of urban renewal and economic development initiatives. Rory Shand examines the ways in which both the top-down nature of the creative sector, and the bottom-up roles of creative arts organisations, drive development and engage with local communities or areas in regeneration projects that target employment, training and education, as well as social engagement. Underpinning these projects are governance mechanisms, through delivery, funding and participation. Drawing on case studies from the UK, Germany and Canada, Shand compares national creative sector policies and creative arts bodies engaged in the governance of urban renewal and development programmes, as well as including a comparative chapter offering an overview of best and worst practice, which also examines and summarises the key themes across both theory and practice. In his concluding remarks, he highlights and discusses the key challenges posed by governance mechanisms to urban renewal and economic development programmes and identifies future comparative case studies in the field. This book will be of great interest to students of environmental studies, public policy and politics and geography, as well as being a relevant resource for practitioners from NGOs, local and national levels of governments and community projects.

Download or read book Cities written by Ian Douglas and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities are amongst our greatest creations. Yet, with cities now home to over half the world's population, there is increasing concern over their unchecked expansion and the detrimental effect this is having on the planet. This unfettered growth is affecting every ecosystem on Earth, from the deepest oceans to the highest mountains, as induced climate change and ever increasing demands upon the world's resources take effect. As the pace of urbanisation quickens, how can we make the world's cities more sustainable? Ian Douglas tells the story of cities. He shows why they exist, how they have evolved and the problems they have encountered, revealing how from the very beginning environmental management played a key role in urban life. He addresses specific problems, such as noise and air pollution, water supply and waste management, as well as the vulnerability of cities to hazards such as earthquakes and flooding. And he considers strategies to make cities more sustainable and help them adapt to climate change, such as waste recycling, energy conservation, dual water systems, sustainable housing, as well as initiatives to retrofit existing cities. Written by an acknowledged international authority, this unique volume will be welcomed by students and specialists in environment, planning, geography, ecology and the built environment.

Download or read book Architecture Mentalities and Meaning written by Patrick Malone and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-06-14 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to function, architectural theory and practice must be shaped to suit current cultural, economic, and political forces. Thus, architecture embodies reductive logic that conditions the treatment of human and social processes – which raises the question of how to define objectivity for architectural mentalities that must conform to a set of immediate conditions. This book focuses on meaning, and on the physical and mental processes that define life in built environments. The potential to draw knowledge from aesthetics, psychology, political economy, philosophy, geography, and sociology is offset by the fact that architectural logic is inevitably reductive, cultural, socio-economic, and political. However, despite the duty to conform, it is argued that the treatment of human processes, and the understanding of architectural mentalities, can benefit from interdisciplinary linkages, small freedoms, and cracks in a system of imperatives that can yield the means of greater objectivity. This is valuable reading for students and researchers interested in architectural theory as a working reality, and in the relationships between architecture and other fields.

Download or read book Planning for Diversity written by Dory Reeves and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practical importance of diversity and equality for spatial planning and sustainable development is still not widely understood. Using international examples, this book shows planners and educationalists the benefits of building in a consideration of diversity and equality at each stage and level of planning. Despite being one of the most diverse and gender balanced of the built environment professions, complacency has been widespread in planning. This book shows why a diverse profession is important and drawing on a wide range of good practice, shows how those involved in planning can develop their sensitivity to and expertise in diversity and equality.
Download or read book The Genesis of Modern British Town Planning written by William Ashworth and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1954, The Genesis of Modern British Town Planning is a study from a historical standpoint of the social and economic factors which have made town planning one of the normal functions of government. The author begins with an examination of the rapid growth of towns in the nineteenth century and the consequent emergence of inescapable new problems of health, morality, and economic efficiency, and goes on to discuss the chief ways in which a remedy for these problems was sought in the later part of the century. Separate chapters are devoted to new model villages and towns to the spread of suburbs, and to the improvement of already established towns by means of clearance and rebuilding schemes, bye-law control, and efforts of private philanthropy. The final section of the book shows how the successes and failures of earlier attempts at reforms stimulated a demand for something more comprehensive, which found expression in the town planning act of 1909, and ends by considering the influences that brought to the town planning movement a new strength and importance in the 1930s and the war years. The author has drawn his material from a wide range of government and local authority reports, the writing of philanthropists and social workers, local guides and topographical works and the book will be of great value to those interested in social history, architecture and urban sociology.
Download or read book The Greening of London 1920 2000 written by Matti O. Hannikainen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-term development of public green spaces such as parks, public gardens, and recreation grounds in London during the twentieth century is a curiously neglected subject, despite the fact that various kinds of green spaces cover huge areas in cities in the UK today. This book explores how and why public green spaces have been created and used in London, and what actors have been involved in their evolution, during the course of the twentieth century. Building on case studies of the contemporary boroughs of Camden and Southwark and making use of a wealth of archival material, the author takes us through the planning and creation stages, to the intended (and actual) uses and ongoing management of the spaces. By highlighting the rise and fall of municipal authorities and the impact of neo-liberalism after the 1970s, the book also deepens our understanding of how London has been governed, planned and ruled during the twentieth century. It makes a crucial contribution to academic as well as political discourse on the history and present role of green space in sustainable cities.
