The Business of Cities explores the re-urbanisation of business, discussing cities as emerging markets for firms, the re-urbanisation of business locations, the growth of "city building" as a newly globalising industry, the urbanisation of capital, cities as "test markets" for larger geographies and businesses adopting city brands and city marketing approaches.

This book is arguably the definitive guide to understanding consumerism as a way of life in the twenty-first century. In his dazzlingly original and accessible introduction to the field, Mark Davis takes the reader on a tour of major theories of consumerism to show how they each offer enlightenment in our dark times of social, economic, and environmental crises.

Routledge Contemporary Russia and Eastern Europe Series

Gazprom, one of Europe's most important energy companies, and the sole exporter of Russian gas to Europe, is often viewed simply as an agent of the Russian state, being used by the Russian state to exert political pressure on Russia's neighbours and more widely. This book presents a thorough examination of the Russian gas sector and Gazprom's place within it. It considers how the Russian gas sector has been modernized over recent decades, examines Russia's gas exports to different parts of the world, and explores how the international situation has changed, and continues to change, over time. The author concludes that the picture is complex; that Gazprom is both a commercially-oriented actor that lobbies strongly for its own interests and is at the same time subject to varying degrees of influence from the Russian government, the degree of influence depending on the policy area.

Foundations in Global Studies

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. The second half of the book features interdisciplinary case studies, each of which focuses on a specific country or region and a particular issue.

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.

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. Presenting a series of comparative proposals by PdAA for 7 housing/ mixed-use developments in the UK, 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.

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.

Routledge Contemporary China Series

Ji uses both interview and survey data to analyse the nature and extent of the "leftover" women phenomenon in China. She argues that it is mainly a social construction and that the reality has become distorted in the Chinese popular imagination.

Southern City Politics argues that the field of urban politics and urban studies must be expanded to include the southern city, shifting the focus beyond northern and Midwestern cities and urban areas to the South. The book will help students understand how southern cities are dealing with issues of growth, sprawl, racial diversity, immigration, economic development, and natural and man-made crises.

Recent scholarship in American urban politics focuses on suburban, metropolitan, and national policies towards urban areas. But to what degree do contemporary urban settings in the South fit models of urban studies and politics? Do we need a new urban political theory to capture the unique qualities of southern cities? How has each southern city approached its particular issues through imaginative reconstruction, offering a prescription that involves urban planning, economic development, redistricting, or some other creative approach to decision-making? A book that focuses on the crises and creative political solutions of Southern cities is long overdue in order to address these questions. Southern City Politics argues that the field of urban politics and urban studies must be expanded to include the southern city, shifting the focus beyond northern and Midwestern cities and urban areas to the South. Sarita Gregory concentrates on the problems and issues facing southern cities in a comparative light, featuring cities from Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, Louisiana, Virginia, Florida, and Mississippi. Gregory uses a multiple methods approach of regional survey data and polling analysis combined with case studies, news articles, and published interviews with Southern city administrators, elected officials, and citizen action groups to show the challenges that many southern cities face.Southern City Politics will help students understand how southern cities are dealing with issues of growth, sprawl, racial diversity, immigration, economic development, and natural and man-made crises. This is an invaluable addition to courses in urban politics and Southern politics alike, as well as relevant to the areas of urban studies generally, race and ethnicity, and political sociology.
