Crafting Sustainable, Inclusive, and Beautiful Cities

Digital Dreams, Urban Realities

In a world experiencing unprecedented urbanization and drastic climate change, there is immense demand for creative solutions to the environmental, social, and economic obstacles faced by burgeoning cities in the developing world. This book delves into the potential of innovative urban initiatives to address the challenges of urbanization in countries with limited resources, thereby contributing to sustainable and inclusive urban development. It explores how cutting-edge technologies can provide efficient functionality for urban residents through information and communications shared among stakeholders. The primary aim is to enhance the efficiency of urban operations, foster economic development, and improve the well-being of residents by leveraging intelligent technologies and analyzing data. Government and policy are recognized as fundamental drivers of urban development, and the book sheds light on initiatives supporting cities that are not only technologically advanced but also sustainable, inclusive, and equitable.Contributions provide insight into technological aspects of urbanism, including the Internet of Things (IoT), sensors, data analytics, and essential infrastructure for sustainable city development. They also emphasize the importance of community engagement and inclusivity, stressing that urban initiatives should be designed for the benefit of all citizens, leaving no one behind.EcoTech Urbanism makes a compelling case for the imperative of sustainability in the future of urban areas, underscoring the critical role of technology in achieving this goal. The book offers a holistic perspective on the integration of eco-friendly technologies, fostering a balance between urban development and environmental conservation, ultimately paving the way for a future where cities thrive sustainably and inclusively.

Urban Morphology versus Urban Redevelopment and Revitalisation

The theory of anticipation suggests that systems, both biological and social, can adapt and update based on predictive models. Cities, which&nbsp;can be seen as complex systems that are associated with innovation, are undergoing changes in response to current socio-ecological transitions. Therefore, cities can be viewed as anticipatory systems that may signal future transformations&nbsp;that arise in response to the challenges posed by these ongoing&nbsp;socio-ecological transitions.&nbsp;This book combines futures studies and anticipation theories with urban studies and theories of urban transition. Chapters address&nbsp;theoretical and empirical aspects of both fields and&nbsp;present&nbsp;case studies from a wide array of&nbsp;international perspectives. These diverse examples&nbsp;demonstrate how cities implement arrangements and strategies to allow their actors of all kinds to anticipate change.&nbsp;As such, contributions in this edited volume explore&nbsp;possible scenarios and proposals for strengthening anticipatory competences in urban areas and examine&nbsp;the potential consequences of these innovations in the cities of the future.

Cities as Anticipatory Systems

This book explains the variation and determinants of residential quality and housing preferences in urban private housing markets. It describes the residential characteristics and housing preference dynamics of Lagos urban residents who are majorly sheltered in the city's private housing markets. Lagos Metropolitan Area (LMA) is a wide region with differentiated informal housing markets. The city private housing markets vary in quantity, quality, and prices which conjointly influence residents housing preferences and choices. Based on positivist philosophical stance, this book addresses the peculiarities of each residential market in Low Residential Density (LRD), Medium Residential Density (MRD), and High Residential Density (HRD) areas in terms of residential quality and housing preferences. With heuristic methods including predictive model and conjoint choice experimentation, this book unravels the level and variability of residential quality (neighborhood and structural) and housing preference (revealed and stated) decisions in Metropolitan Lagos. In addition, the residential quality and housing preferences are mapped to give their spatial patterns across Lagos megacity neighborhoods as segmented residential submarkets. Applying the positivist philosophical stance, the book provides evidence to support residential quality and housing preference variability across the city private housing submarkets. The book is both a guide and reference for students in the built environment, urban planners, urban policy decision makers, housing researchers, property managers, and real estate professionals who are interested in understanding the residential quality and preference dynamics within polarized cities.

This open access book provides in-depth insights into participatory research and planning by presenting practical examples of its use. In particular, it describes theoretical and methodological aspects of participatory research and planning, as well as the implementation of participatory processes in fields such as transport planning, cultural heritage management, environmental planning and post-earthquake recovery. Further, it compares participatory planning experiences from different territorial levels – from the macro-regional, e.g. Southeastern Europe, Mediterranean or European metropolitan regions, to national, regional and local levels.The book will help researchers, planners, public administration officials, decision-makers and the general public to understand the advantages, disadvantages and constraints of participatory planning and research. Using various examples, it will guide readers through the theory of participatory planning and research, its methods, and different perspectives on how to use it in practice.

Participatory Research and Planning in Practice

This book highlights the discontinuities and the ongoing development of the urban question in policy-making in the context of the controversial current issues of global reversal and regional revival. It critically examines contemporary public policies and practices at the urban, regional and national scales in order to offer a timely contribution to the debate on the significance of the urban dimension and interpretation in terms of the theory, policy and practice of social-spatial research in the twenty-first century.&nbsp;&nbsp;Focusing on Europe, it explores the current urban policy agendas at different scales - and the mobility of those agendas -, their implications, contradictions and controversies. It brings together original contributions from multiple disciplines but with an urban perspective, including empirical case studies and critical discussions of the following topics: <ul><li>the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the global“New Urban Agenda” as part of the Habitat III process;</li><li>the Urban Agenda for the European Union;</li><li>national spatial policies related to urban agendas;</li><li>urban agendas at regional/urban levels;</li><li>city regionalism discourse and state rescaling;</li><li>new formal regional and metropolitan governments as a solution (or problem);</li><li>the role of new actors in regional urbanization dynamics;&nbsp;</li><li>multi-level governance processes in developing an urban agenda;&nbsp;</li><li>informal assemblages at the metropolitan scale aiming at constructing the urban concept and dimension.</li></ul> Given its scope, the book is of interest to urban, regional and EU policy-makers, scholars and students working in the fields of urban geography, urban studies, EU urban and regional policies, and planning.

The New Urban Issue in European Experiences of Policy-Making

Foregrounding Urban Agendas

This book focuses on the strict orthodox Jewish (Haredi) community, which comprises many sects whose communal identity plays a central role in everyday life and spatial organization. The research reveals and analyses powerful mechanisms of residential segregation acting at the apartment-, building- and near-neighbourhood levels. Identifying the main engines of spontaneous and organised neighbourhood change and evaluating the difficulties of liberalism dealing with non-autonomous individuals in the housing market sheds light on similar processes occurring in other city centres with diverse population groups. Highlighting the impact of various organisational levels on the spatial structure of the urban enclave, the book focuses on the internal dynamics of ethno-religious enclaves that emerge from three levels of action: (1) individuals' relationships with their own and other groups; (2) the community leadership's powers within the group and in respect of other groups; and (3) government directives and tools (e.g planning). The study examines how different levels of communal organisation are reflected in the residential patterns of four British communities: the Litvish communities of Golders Green and Gateshead, and the Hassidic communities of Stamford Hill and Canvey Island.

This book examines examples of contemporary situation of historic regions in the Middle East and its broader geographic context connected to the historic trade routes, offering cross-disciplinary and cross-sectoral perspectives. The region is home to ancient settlements and early human endeavors to form cities, and across the region historic urban historic features, such as ancient city centers, still exist alongside contemporary ones. Many of those historic regions are along the Silk Roads. However, the urban continuity that once existed over generations in the physical and social paradigm have been interrupted by rapid urbanization, globalization and urban economic pressures, in addition to conflicts and frequent destructive natural hazards. It is often the case that dealing with such pressing issues in a historic city is more complex than dealing with those in newly built cities and urban areas. Based on carefully selected and updated papers from the Silk Cities 2017 International Conference, this book appeals to researches, practitioners and policy makers.

This volume addresses livelihood vulnerabilities due to climate change-induced socio-environmental stresses among different communities in various geographical locations in India, and discusses how the people and communities can become resilient to these stresses. Through multiple case studies and regional analyses, the authors provide a holistic understanding of the impacts of climate change on livelihoods and well-beings in India, where other works on the subject are often fragmentary and do not encompass a comprehensive presentation of these topics. This dedicated volume offers this comprehensive coverage, exploring how climate change impacts vulnerable communities, and how different actors such as vulnerable people, communities, governments, and NGOs are adopting strategies for resilience and sustainable livelihoods. As the impacts of climate change vary over geographical regions, the book targets a systematic coverage of the issue for different geographical regions in South Asia/ India, including the Himalayan region (Hilly Area), Indo-Gangetic Plain, Sundarbans (Mangroves), Coastal lands, Deccan Plateau, and Western Semi-arid and arid areas. The book is intended for social and environmental scientists, geographers, anthropologists, sociologists, regional planners, public administrators, and policymakers.
