From Critique to Further Development

Cities, Heritage and Transformation

This book is an in-depth and insightful exploration of the pivotal role Geographic Information Systems (GIS) play in understanding heritage changes and revitalizing urban identities amidst rapid urbanization and transformation. Geographic Information Systems for Urban Identity, Urban Morphology and Urban Transformation: Bridging the Gap between Urban Space and Heritage Transformation presents a comprehensive guide to how GIS technology can bridge the gap between urban development and heritage changes by preserving the unique values of the historic cities.&nbsp;Through meticulous research and best practices, the authors delve into the intricate ways in which GIS tools and techniques are used to map, analyze, and visualize urban spaces, cultural heritage (tangible and intangible), and other layers of the cities such as natural resources, or infrastructure network. The book highlights how GIS empowers a wide range of stakeholders, i.e. urban planners, architects, preservationists, and policymakers, to make informed decisions that balance the need for a sustainable development with the imperative to manage change of historic cities.The chapters are enriched with detailed explorations of urban transformation projects where GIS has been instrumental in ensuring that progress does not come at the cost of heritage. From mapping historical districts and assessing the historic urban fabric and the attributes that convey the heritage values and their condition to identifying areas for adaptive reuse, readers gain a profound understanding of how GIS acts as a guiding compass in urban development that respects the past while embracing the future.&nbsp;The relevance of "GIS for Urban Identity" is its interdisciplinary approach that brings together insights from geography, urban planning, architecture, cultural studies, and technology. The book is not just a technical manual, but a thoughtful discourse on how GIS fosters collaboration between stakeholders with diverse interests, such as community members, heritage organizations, and city officials. By showcasing successful examples of urban identity preservation from around the world, the authors inspire readers to adopt innovative approaches in their own endeavors.&nbsp;Furthermore, the book engages in critical discussions about the challenges, ethical considerations, and potential limitations of using GIS in urban identity continuity. It prompts readers to reflect on the socio-cultural implications of urban transformation and how technology can serve as both a tool and a catalyst to manage change.&nbsp;"Geographic Information Systems for Urban Identity, Urban Morphology and Urban Transformation: Bridging the Gap between Urban Space and Heritage Transformation" is a must-read for urban planners, heritage advocates, GIS professionals, researchers, policy makers and practitioners who seek to navigate between development and heritage conservation. With its comprehensive insights, case studies, and thought-provoking analysis, this book serves as an invaluable resource for understanding how GIS technology can pave the way for sustainable, culturally enriched urban futures.&nbsp;

Gesellschaften stehen heute vor komplexen ökologischen, technologischen, wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Herausforderungen. Dies macht nicht nur einen institutionellen Wandel erforderlich, sondern verweist auch auf die Notwendigkeit eines grundlegenden Wandels im Handeln der Akteure. Die Beiträger*innen gehen zwei zentralen Fragen nach: Welche Bedeutung haben kulturhistorische Repräsentationen von Raum und der Umgang mit ihnen für Gesellschaften, Institutionen, Politik und andere Akteure? Und was behindert den Prozess des zielgerichteten Handelns angesichts der bestehenden Herausforderungen?

"Shehadeh''s books are like beacons held up against the darkness" Observer"A heartbreaking, hopeful look at how Palestinian culture endures" Irish Times Forgotten is a search for hidden or neglected memorials and places in historic Palestine - now Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories - and what they might tell us about the land and the people who live on our small slip of earth between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River.From ancient city ruins to the Nabi ''Ukkasha mosque and tomb, acclaimed writers and researchers Raja Shehadeh and Penny Johnson ask: what has been memorialised, and what lies unseen, abandoned or erased - and why? Whether standing on a high cliff overlooking Lebanon or at the lowest land-based elevation on earth at the Dead Sea, they explore lost connections in a fragmented land.In elegiac, elegant prose, Shehadeh and Johnson grapple not only with questions of Israeli resistance to acknowledging the Nakba - the 1948 catastrophe for Palestinians - but also with the complicated history of Palestinian commemoration today.

Water Security in a New World

This Open Access book undertakes a comprehensive analysis of the water, energy, and food (WEF) security nexus with a regional focus on East and Southeast Asia. Individual chapters of this book provide interesting nexus dimensions of the region and explore socioeconomic implications of the nexus approach with a special focus on the cross-cutting issues, including climate change, gender, and trans-boundary cooperation. It also discusses innovative approaches, advanced nexus solutions, and various future scenarios. Finally, it suggests that an improved nexus understanding based on scientific evidence is a key element to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).&nbsp;With explosive population growth and economic development, countries in East and Southeast Asia are witnessing competitive consumption of WEF resources across various sectors and across borders. The diverse range of geographical, political, and economic conditions combined with climate change and urbanization is posing a new set of challenges in the region. The long-term security of WEF, therefore, would need an integrated nexus approach through an enhanced understanding how the interactions between WEF resources are shaped by environmental, economic, social, and political changes in the region.&nbsp;This book is a highly recommended source of information and inspiration for policy makers, research communities and practitioners dealing with any aspect of water, energy, and food security in East and Southeast Asia.

Heimat ist nicht nur ein wichtiger Begriff und eine wirkungsmächtige Idee, Heimat ist immer auch soziale Praxis: Historische Akteure haben durch ihr Handeln immer wieder bestimmte Vorstellungen von Heimat in die Realität umgesetzt. Anhand von fünf ausgewählten Praktiken analysiert Johannes Schütz die Konstruktion von Heimat in Sachsen zwischen 1969 und 2000. Dabei fragt er nicht nur nach der Aneignung von Heimat, sondern betrachtet Prozesse der Heimatpraxis vor allem im Spannungsfeld zwischen Diktatur und Demokratie, das den Alltag der Menschen nach dem Zusammenbruch der DDR und der Eingliederung des Landes in die Bundesrepublik prägte.

Heimat als soziale Praxis

'This book did nothing less than make me re-see the world . . . Original, and very clever' Sathnam Sanghera, author of Empireland Borders draw one map of the world; money draws another. A journalist's riveting account exposes a parallel universe exempt from the laws of the land, and how the wealthy and powerful benefit from it. The map of the globe shows the world we think we know: sovereign nations that grant and restrict their citizens' rights. Beneath, above, and tucked inside its neatly delineated borders, however, a parallel universe has been engineered into existence, consisting of thousands of extraterritorial zones that operate largely autonomously, increasingly for the benefit of the wealthy and powerful. Atossa Abrahamian traces the rise of the hidden globe to thirteenth-century Switzerland, where poor cantons marketed the commodity they had - bodies, in the form of mercenary fighters. Following its evolution around the world, she reveals how prize-winning economists, eccentric theorists, visionary statesmen, and consultants masterminded its export in the form of free trade zones, flags of convenience, offshore detention centres where immigrants languish in limbo, and charter cities controlled by foreign governments and multinational corporations-and even into outer space, where tiny Luxembourg aspires to mining rights on asteroids. By mapping the hidden geography that decides who wins and who loses in this new global order - and how it might be otherwise - The Hidden Globe fascinates, enrages, and inspires. 'Vivid, revelatory' The New Yorker 'Atossa Abrahamian boldly renews our sense of reality and brilliantly illuminates our political impasse' Pankaj Mishra, author of The Age of Anger

How Wealth Hacks the World

The Hidden Globe

A groundbreaking history that explores how human desires have affected our relationship with the natural world, and why this is a cause for hope &nbsp; Donald Worster looks back over 200,000 years of Homo sapiens sapiens to show how human nature, especially the drive for food and sex, has responded to environmental conditions throughout history. Examining how this process led from foraging to the agrarian revolution and then to a capitalist way of life, Worster brings us face to face with a third transformation of human society that is beginning to take shape in China: an ecological civilization. &nbsp; This meticulously researched book explores how human desires have driven us to overrun our environments, and how we have adapted by creating new relationships with the earth. Tying the past to the future and humans to the planet, Worster acknowledges that we are at a potentially dangerous tipping point. Yet he offers a surprisingly optimistic vision, full of faith in the strength of our human desires, to help us develop exciting futures in a changing world—as we have done time and again—and achieve a good life for the billions of us trying to survive on a finite planet.

For decades, gentrification research has predominantly focused on large cities. Arguing that gentrification has occurred throughout the urban hierarchy, Ravuri fills this gap in the literature by analyzing gentrification and displacement patterns in twelve medium-sized cities, spread across the four census regions of the US.
