Goonewardena Kanishka: The Future of
Planning at the End of History

The Future of Planning at the End of History

GIS in Action

Cities across the world are facing a convergence of environmental risks, from flooding and extreme heat events to air pollution and water scarcity. These threats are increasingly uneven in their impacts and deeply shaped by local geography. This book offers a practical, accessible guide to understanding and responding to these threats using open-source geographic information systems (GIS) and freely available spatial data. Through real world case studies, the author discusses each risk separately to meet the needs of decision-making when urban threats happen. Features<ul> <li>Focuses on mapping specific urban threats such as water scarcity, flood risk, fire, urban heat islands, and more.</li> <li>Takes a risk-by-risk approach grounded in the everyday realities of each city and using geospatial tools to support action.</li> <li>Shows how to analyze urban threats using open tools like QGIS, freely accessible satellite imagery, and public datasets.</li> <li>Emphasizes concepts and decision-making rather than software mastery, making it suitable for a variety of readers.</li> </ul>By demystifying geospatial analysis and emphasizing hands-on, place-based projects, this book empowers readers, such as students, city planners, journalists, community advocates, and public health officials alike to investigate environmental risks in their own neighborhoods and use maps to support smarter, more equitable action.

The Temporality of Building

With ever-decreasing affordability and availability of homes, the UK has a longstanding and complex housing crisis. Rather than laying the blame on a particular group or cause, this book explains the root causes of our current housing situation and proposes useful ways forward. The author uses his experience of delivering housing policy in Greater Manchester to analyse the interlocking issues of demographic and social policy change, the financial and planning systems, the construction industry and the UK's recent change of government. Key reading for housing researchers and policy makers, this book analyses recent reform plans and the feasibility of achieving an effective and accessible UK housing landscape.

Le Corbusier hat 1954 in Ahmedabad den Sitz des Textilherstellerverbandes entworfen, der bislang nur selten publiziert wurde, aber dennoch als wichtiger Meilenstein im Werk des Architekten gilt. Der Bau nimmt grundlegende Stilmittel seines späteren Schaffens vorweg, wie beispielsweise für das Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts in Harvard. Das Buch dokumentiert das Gebäude und setzt es in Bezug zu seinem theoretischen Werk, wie Vers une architecture. Die Bedeutung zentraler Bezugspersonen wie Paul Valéry und John Ruskin für Le Corbusiers Arbeit manifestiert sich hier. Wichtige Elemente wie die promenade architecturale und der Gebrauch von brise-soleils werden dargelegt. Zahlreiche maßstäbliche Zeichnungen und neu erstellte Modelle verdeutlichen die wichtigsten Gestaltungsaspekte des Gebäudes. <li>Le Corbusiers Gebäude für die Millowners' Association von 1954 in Ahmedabad, Indien, ist ein zu entdeckendes Schlüsselwerk </li> <li>Attraktive Fotografien und neue Zeichnungen und Modelle, eigens für die Publikation erstellt </li> <li>Das Werk zeigt exemplarisch charakteristische Elemente des Schaffens von Le Corbusier </li>

Between the Beautiful and the Sublime

Le Corbusier’s Ahmedabad Millowners’ Association Building

The decades after the Second World War saw ambitious building programs to ensure social welfare. The Scandinavian countries in particular underwent an intense modernisation phase with the aim to distribute welfare to all. Yet, the relationship between welfare values and design in Scandinavia is anything but stable. The spatial and political legacy of post-war construction varies amongst Denmark, Sweden, and Norway and their welfare models have been changed, contested, and copied over time. This book explores how architecture, once seen as a medium for universal welfare, inclusion, and political participation, is now often associated with the opposite, such as alienation, exclusion, and segregation. The volume offers new perspectives on the history and redesign of post-war architecture and urbanity. With attractive photo essays on social housing in Scandinavia Based on an interdisciplinary research project by KTH Stockholm, Oslo School of Architecture, University of Copenhagen Internationally renown contributors shed light on aspects of the relationship between architecture and welfare
