Authors V: The City

The City

10.1 Routledge Advances in Regional Economics, Science and Policy

The 2010 General Election ushered in a first coalition government in the United Kingdom for four decades and symbolised a marked shift in the nature and form of economic development. This book aims to investigate the theory and practice of the politics and policies of contemporary economic development through a multi-disciplinary collaboration. Some of the most pertinent questions to be addressed include: What lessons can be derived from ‘old’ economic development practice and to what extent have such lessons informed the design of the ‘new’ economic development landscape? Who are the new actors, agencies and institutions, and how have they coalesced to lead the task of developing particular spatial economies? What new democratic and accountability challenges arise? Lastly, how is ‘success’ now defined and how is ‘growth’ understood?

The Cameron Years, 2010-2016

Local Economic Development in the UK

Design Research in Architecture

Drawing together writings, drawings, and photographs produced over the past decade, this volume focuses specifically on the issue of contemporary land value, availability and use as the fundamental condition determining architectural production and, in particular, housing. It presents design research towards new models of housing design for the future which respond to this key concern. While many books have been published by architects and others on the design of houses and, to a lesser extent housing, few have examined the social, political and economic conditions which set the parameters for design in any depth.  Vastly inflated land values have effectively imposed strict limits and constraints on the public's aspirations for, and expectations of, new housing design. But homes are where most people spend most of their time. Presenting a series of comparative proposals by PdAA for 7 housing/ mixed-use developments in the UK, the book sets out data relating to the established use and ownership of each site, the social and cultural context, and development and architectural strategy, including interviews with each client. In doing so, it provides detailed, comparative examples of designs for the making of humane and generous dwelling environments, incorporating opportunities for social interaction, individual self-expression, and equable coexistence which acknowledges the cultural difference and diversity typical of contemporary society.

Dwelling in the Future

A beautiful, full-color tribute to the story of public housing in America, told through reminiscences about emblematic objects by former and current public housing residentsOver the past century, more than 10 million people across the nation-including well-known figures from Barbra Streisand to former Chicago DA Kim Foxx-have called public housing home, yet since the 1990s, thousands of public housing units across the United States have been demolished. Today, housing insecurity is one of the most pressing social issues facing the nation. Building on an exhibit at the brand-new National Public Housing Museum, We Are All Family Here is designed to help facilitate national dialogue about the history and importance of public housing through the intimacy of residents' memories of prized, and ordinary, everyday objects. The book will include full-color photos of over two dozen objects-from a championship boxing belt owned by Lee Roy "Solid Gold" Murphy and the leather motorcycle jacket of legendary Cabrini-Green organizer&nbsp;Marion Stamps, to a camera, a Pyrex dish, and a wedding dress-along with photos of the individuals who have provided them, as well as brief essays by the objects' owners, describing each object's significance with respect to the time the owner resided in a public housing building. The book also includes essays by experts on housing and homelessness in America. Together, these objects will tell both the beautiful and troubled history of public housing, and the diverse experiences of those who have survived and thrived in those communities.

Routledge Advances in Disability Studies

Disabled people‿s mobility, movement and access into and around the built environment is often constrained by physical and socio-attitudinal barriers. Based upon first-hand research studying the daily mobility and movement of female wheelchair users in different urban environments in England, this book explores issues relating to disabled people‿s access needs as well as the different contexts within which their mobility is shaped. It develops an understanding that destabilises the common-sense conception of access as solely a physical matter and incorporates social, psycho-emotional and corporeal dimensions in developing a broader conceptions of disability and mobility. Examining the interrelationships between technology and impairment as well as strategies of resistance deployed by disabled people to ensure access to urban spaces and places, the author exposes the challenges the built environment can present to the movement and mobility of disabled people and asks how we can overcome these challenges in order to make the environment more conducive to independent mobility.

Foundations in Global Studies

From the Foundations in Global Studies series, this text offers students a fresh, comprehensive, multidisciplinary entry point to the broader African region. After a brief introduction to the study of Africa, the early chapters of the book survey the essentials of African history; important historical narratives; and the region's languages, religions, and global connections. Students are guided through the material with relevant maps, resource boxes, and text boxes that support and guide further independent exploration of the topics at hand.The second half of the book features interdisciplinary case studies, each of which focuses on a specific country or region and a particular issue. Each chapter gives a flavor for the cultural distinctiveness of the particular country yet also draws attention to global linkages. Readers will come away from this book with an understanding of the larger historical, political, and cultural frameworks that shaped Africa as we know it today, and of current issues that have relevance in the region and beyond.

Shanghai actively uses culture to promote itself as a global city. This book explores how this has been conceived and pursued, and what questions it raises for notions of 'culture' and 'economy' as understood in the West. If theoretical work around the 'cultural economy' has problematized these two, this book locates these debates empirically in a non-western metropolis.

Routledge Advances in Research Methods

This book argues that there is a need to rethink time in social research. It builds on the author's previous research, which has dealt with the methodological challenge of studying change and continuity in the social world from a complex systems perspective. The book:<ul> <li>sets out key empirical challenges of social time and temporality;</li> <li>problematizes time in key quantitative, qualitative and simulation social research methods;</li> <li>proposes some methodological alternatives that seek to tackle time and temporality empirically from innovative angles.</li> </ul>In so doing, the book aims to provoke a wider discussion about the need for methodological innovation about how social time and temporality are addressed in empirical social research.
