Download or read book Dialogues in Urban and Regional Planning 6 written by Christopher Silver and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-24 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dialogues in Urban and Regional Planning series offers a selection of some of the best scholarship in urban and regional planning from around the world. The internationally recognized authors of these award-winning papers take up a range of salient issues from the theory and practice of planning. This 6th volume incorporates essays that explore the salient issue commonly referred to as "The Right to the City." This theme speaks to a growing new movement within planning theory and practice with multiple aims and strategies but with the common objective of advancing a more just and equitable world. The right to the city functions as a manifesto advancing academic explorations of the opportunities for, and barriers to, expanding human and environmental justice. At the same time, it extends beyond academic inquiry to engage directly with the policy, legal and political dimensions of human rights. The right to the city has been invoked by global bodies such as United Nations-Habitat and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to bolster not only their agendas around fundamental human rights but advance urban policies promoting inclusion, sustainability, and resilience. Dialogues 6 offers engaging explorations into the academic expeditions by the global planning community that have helped to energize this movement. The papers assembled here through processes of peer review represent an invaluable collection to untangle the complexities of this dynamic new approach to urban and regional planning. The Dialogues in Urban and Regional Planning (DURP) series is published in association with the Global Planning Education Association Network (GPEAN) and its member national and transnational planning schools associations.

Download or read book Engager l anthropologie pour le d veloppement et le changement social written by Sten Hagberg and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2013 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present APAD Bulletin contains a selection of papers presented at the APAD 2010 Conference in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, on the theme "Engaging Anthropology for Development and Social Change: Practices, Discourses and Ethics." Anthropological engagements face important challenges at the interface of research and development. The different ways by which anthropologists take on societal problems - either in their research capacity, as development experts, as activists, or as citizen - are inscribed in a longstanding debate. In this APAD Bulletin, the contributors deal with the central questions of how and under which conditions anthropology engages with society. The papers range from epistemological reflections and methodological queries to the anthropology of per diem and of public health, as well as to practical problems confronting anthropologists engaged in development cooperation. [PLEASE NOTE: This volume's Introduction is in English text. The remaining text is French language text only. There is no English translation.] (Series: APAD Bulletin - Vol. 34)
Download or read book The Professionalization of Public Participation written by Laurence Bherer and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-27 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Professionalization of Public Participation is an edited collection of essays by leading and emerging scholars examining the emerging profession of public participation professionals. Public participation professionals are persons working in the public, private, or third sectors that are paid to design, implement, and/or facilitate participatory forums. The rapid growth and proliferation of participatory arrangements call for expertise in the organizing of public participation. The contributors analyze the professionalization of this practice in different countries (United States, France, Canada, Italy, and the United Kingdom) to see how their actions challenge the development of participatory arrangements. Designing such processes is a delicate activity, since it may affect not only the quality of the processes and their legitimacy, but also their capacity to influence decision-making.
Download or read book M dias pouvoir et identit s written by and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A l'aire de la mondialisation, le fait linguistique est marchandisé de manière croissante. Ainsi, le marché des feuilletons brésiliens (telenovelas) s'est brusquement élargi et tend à devenir un phénomène lusophone majeur. Si personne ne nie l'influence croissante que le géant brésilien acquiert dans l'aire dessinée par la pratique du portugais - la quatrième langue européenne la plus parlée dans le monde -, le phénomène produit-il une uniformisation tendancielle des pays de langue portugaise ? L'analyse des médias dévoile certes des phénomènes de rapprochement provoqués par la communauté de langue, mais renforce aussi l'impression que chaque pays reste surtout influencé par son aire d'insertion propre. La lusophonie demeure une aire spécifique d'intersection avec d'autres identités, et n'est pas, en tant que telle, une aire culturelle. Partout, les médias sont un enjeu de pouvoir, et c'est par le biais de ces enjeux que s'expriment les identités ethniques ou politiques, les trajectoires professionnelles des journalistes, les techniques de reportage, les traditions cinématographiques émergentes, etc. Bien entendu, la vitalité des médias sera plus forte là où le mouvement social a imposé une réelle pluralité politique : c'est, en négatif, pourquoi l'Angola n'est pas directement présent dans ce dossier, même si certaines initiatives (le plus souvent restreintes à la capitale) sont prometteuses. En revanche, les vitalités portugaise, brésilienne, capverdienne et même mozambicaine, apparaissent pleinement, qu'il s'agisse de la télévision, de générations journalistiques, du développement d'internet notamment au Cap-Vert, l'archipel de tous les réseaux. Introduit par un beau texte de l'écrivain mozambicain Luis Carlos Patraquim, ce dossier ne prétend pas à l'exhaustivité. Mais, en une dizaine d'articles d'auteurs de nationalités brésilienne, britannique, française, mozambicaine et portugaise, il offre une clé supplémentaire d'approche du puzzle lusophone.
Download or read book Disputing Citizenship written by Clarke, John and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2014-01-27 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. Citizenship is always in dispute – in practice as well as in theory – but conventional perspectives do not address why the concept of citizenship is so contentious. This unique book presents a new perspective on citizenship by treating it as a continuing focus of dispute.The authors dispute the way citizenship is normally conceived and analysed within the social sciences, developing a view of citizenship as always emerging from struggle. This view is advanced through an exploration of the entanglements of politics, culture and power that are both embodied and contested in forms and practices of citizenship. This compelling view of citizenship emerges from the international and interdisciplinary collaboration of the four authors, drawing on the diverse disputes over citizenship in their countries of origin (Brazil, France, the UK and the US). The book is essential reading for anyone interested in the field of citizenship, no matter what their geographical, political or academic location.
Download or read book Communication et grands projets written by Valérie Lehmann and published by Puq. This book was released on 2013 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Communication et grands projets : un tel sujet est presque une gageure, car il engage deux mondes qui ne se rejoignent pas souvent, en tout cas pas aisément. Pourtant, cet ouvrage collectif n'est ni une coïncidence ni une provocation. Il vise à susciter la réflexion autour d'un sujet déterminant pour l'avenir des sociétés : la réalisation des grands projets de demain dans un contexte où citoyens, professionnels, scientifiques, promoteurs, pouvoirs publics et autres parties prenantes se révèlent... très prenants. De l'information à la participation, de la transmission à la relation, de la connaissance aux symboles et aux actes, ce sont tous les aspects de la communication qui sont ici abordés pour traiter de la gestion des grands projets urbains et d'exploitation des ressources naturelles. Ainsi, sont discutés dans ce livre des démarches de cocréation de projets, des méthodes participatives et des outils de partage du savoir. Il y est également question de la gouvernance des grands projets et de ses enjeux, ainsi que des rôles et responsabilités des différents acteurs qui y participent. Enfin, plusieurs chapitres s'intéressent à l'imaginaire des grands projets, aux sens qu'ils façonnent et aux passions qu'ils peuvent susciter. Réunissant les contributions de chercheurs et de praticiens québécois, français, britanniques et belges et faisant appel à des disciplines variées (communication, management, gestion de projet, sciences politiques, urbanisme, architecture, géologie et ingénierie), l'ouvrage remet en question les pratiques actuelles de communication et de gestion de projet. Pour mieux rendre compte des nouveaux défis à relever" --P. [4] de la couv.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive comparative study of the distinct ideas and political arguments that have shaped French and British policies towards their ethnic minorities, and the effects of these intellectual frameworks at local, national and European levels. Charting the politics and events that brought the respective institutional solutions together, the author sets out the divergent conceptualisations of citizenship, nationality, pluralism, autonomy, public order and tolerance that make up the national 'philosophies' in the two countries - republican integration in France and multicultural race relations in Britain. This new edition, published in paperback, contains a new preface bringing the volume up-to-date in the light of new legislation and progress.
