Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike European countries where the consolidation of town planning was based on legislative reforms, Latin America’s urbanismo mainly stemmed from urban plans for national capitals and metropolises. Austrian academic and planner Karl Brunner was hired in Chile, Colombia and Panama from the late 1920s to advise in the professional and academic domains, marking a shift from the so-called École Française d’Urbanisme (EFU) of Haussmannesque descent towards the Austrian-German Städtebau, While coordinating the municipal office and plan for Bogotá, Brunner translated his Manual de Urbanismo – the first textbook published in Latin America about the new discipline and the first to incorporate examples from local cities. Based on his 1924 course at Vienna’s National Faculty of Architecture Brunner’s Manual emphasized the ‘scientific system’ of the discipline. Brunner was the most influential figure of his time in the urban planning of the region, but has become overshadowed by Le Corbusier's and CIAM’s prevailing influence after the Second World War. Complete with a supporting introduction written by Arturo Almandoz, this volume includes the full copy of the original Manual de Urbanismo with an English translation of the synthesis. Further materials, including an extract of Karl Brunner's "Problemas actuales de urbanización" and an accompanying English translation of the text can be accessed at www.routledge.com/9781138778573

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication reviews recent urban planning practices and approaches, discusses constraints and conflicts therein, and identifies innovative approaches that are more responsive to current challenges of urbanization. It notes that traditional approaches to urban planning (particularly in developing countries) have largely failed to promote equitable, efficient and sustainable human settlements and to address twenty-first century challenges, including rapid urbanization, shrinking cities and aging, climate change and related disasters, urban sprawl and unplanned peri-urbanization, as well as urbanization of poverty and informality. It concludes that new approaches to planning can only be meaningful, and have a greater chance of succeeding, if they effectively address all of these challenges, are participatory and inclusive, as well as linked to contextual socio-political processes.--Publisher's description

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAM 08 widmet sich unter dem Titel „Dense Cities“ dem Themenfeld der „städtischen Dichte“ und der Architekturproduktion. Seit dem Jahr 2008 wohnt mehr als die Hälfte der Weltbevölkerung in Städten und Prognosen der UNO zufolge werden es bis zum Jahr 2050 rund 70 % sein. Ein Großteil dieser Entwicklung spielt sich in den Megastädten Asiens und Südamerikas ab. Die offene Entwicklung mittelgroßer, zentral orientierter, historischer Städte, ist ein Anstoß für neue architektonische Entwurfs- und Planungsansätze. Wenn man Städte als urbane Gebiete mit einer bestimmten Dichte auffasst, können Entwurfsansätze der „Verdichtung“ und „Nachverdichtung“ auf allen Maßstabsebenen neue Perspektiven eröffnen. Die Beiträge erstrecken sich über das Thema Stadtlandschaft bis hin zur Entwicklung neuer Gebäudetypen.
