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

The Future of Planning at the End of History

Regions and Cities

This book contextualises issues relating to trends in global discourses on development such as globalization and regionalisation, which are significant for South Africa, and indeed, for the study of the political economy of regional development in the country from the prism of South Africa as a global capitalist state.

This book contextualises issues relating to trends in global discourses on development such as globalization and regionalisation, which are significant for South Africa, and indeed, for the study of the political economy of regional development in the country from the prism of South Africa as a global capitalist state.

Contemporary South Africa and the Political Economy of Regional Development

Southeast Asia is a booming region which is nevertheless among the most vulnerable to climate change. This book assesses how Southeast Asian countries - from the wealthiest to the poorest - are adapting to meet climate change challenges across several key sectors: agriculture and fisheries, conservation, energy, health, and migration. In the broad context of the global system, it celebrates some of the region's remarkable successes, whilst also examining serious adaptive issues. Through a political economy lens, the author describes growing private-sector control over adaptations, shining a light on who benefits and loses from these systems. He untangles the complex interconnectedness of different sectors, examining how adaptations to one can undermine progress in others. This sharply focused volume is a vital reference on a rising global issue for graduate students and researchers, and offers invaluable lessons for policymakers in countries around the world that share similar development challenges.

Adaptation of Southeast Asia to Climate Change

This book seeks to remedy the divisions between spatial and economic policy, first through a review of development theory, grounding it within the realities of the urbanizing world, and then through an overview of and practical guidance on two different sets of tools.

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 understand and respond 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, and urban heat islands.</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.

Towards New Research Paradigms

Cultural Heritage on the Urban Peripheries

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

Architecture was fundamental to the realization of welfare state policy in the Nordic countries, translating democratic ideals into concrete spatial materializations. An inclusive notion of “welfare for all” was embraced by a generation of architects, landscape architects, and planners, who labored to give physical form to ideas of equality, collectivity, anddemocracy, producing a vast architectural output in Scandinavia during the postwar years. Today, however, the architectural legacy of this era is contested. Welfare for all no longer enjoys the social or political consensus it once did.This publication critically engages with this contested architectural legacy and provides a nuanced portrait of postwar welfare architecture coming to terms with a contentious past and facing an uncertain future  With newly commissioned photographic work by contemporary Nordic artists  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

Scandinavian Perspectives

Architecture and Welfare

Vienna's first reinforced concrete buildings were built around 1900. Their skeleton construction enabled wide-span spaces with high load-bearing capacity and made innovative multi-purpose buildings possible: residential and commercial buildings with loft-like wings, as well as theaters, cinemas, and factories. These were the scenes of accelerated urbanization. This book is the first to document the development of this pioneering building technology, implemented by master builders, designed by engineers and architects, and brought to fruition by determined clients. Around 90 buildings are analyzed in the book - from relatively unknown structures to icons of Viennese architecture - illustrating the spatial flexibility and construction quality of reinforced concrete and shedding new light on fin de siècle architecture in Vienna. <ul> <li>90 buildings from the pioneering years of reinforced concrete construction in Vienna </li> <li>From Viennese icons to lesser-known architectural gems </li> <li>Exhibition at the Wien Museum from May 22 to September 28, 2025 </li> </ul>

Reimagining Resources and Community Development

This edited collection explores how architects, planners, and landscape architects can engage with former mining sites and communities.Chapters investigate how to move from an extractivist system towards a territorialist project, working towards the reappropriation of territorial resources after centuries of subordination of local and immigrant populations. The first part reviews cases from European sites, including examples from France, Germany, and Romania that highlight intangible heritage as the subject of a territorial project. A special focus is placed on the coalfields of northern France, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2012, where many experimental projects are being carried out. The second part explores the great American landscapes transformed by the extractive industry in the United States, Brazil, and Chile. Fully illustrated throughout, this book features photos showcasing architectural and landscape achievements, as well as drawings of future projects. Contributors respond to the design challenges of post-mining landscapes, foreshadowing new and varied transformative horizons. The cases present a rich and articulate collection of 'on-the-ground' projects.This book is essential for practitioners and students of architecture and urban planning, as well as associations and political and technical actors in post-mining communities.

Klima Polis

Überarbeitete Neuausgabe Die Publikation überdenkt die Klimakontrolle - ein zentrales Anliegen der Architektur - aus der Perspektive städtischer Klimaphänomene im Laufe des 20. Jahrhunderts. Ausgehend von der Geschichte der urbanen Klimakontrolle fördert sie die Integration von Innen- und Außenräumen, um die Umwelt- und Wärmebelastung zu verringern. Genauso wie die Heiz- und Kühlpraktiken innerhalb der Gebäude das (Stadt-)Klima beeinflussen, wirken sich städtische Wärmeinseln auf den Energiebedarf und die thermischen Bedingungen innerhalb der Gebäude aus. Während sich der erste Teil des Buches auf die Zwischenkriegszeit in Europa konzentriert, werden im zweiten Teil Beispiele aus der ganzen Welt bis ins späte 20. Jahrhunderts betrachtet, um die wachsende Bedeutung des ökologischen Denkens für die Stadtgestaltung nachzuzeichnen. <ul> <li>Resultate eines sechsjährigen Forschungsprojekts über "Architektur und Stadtklima", das vom Schweizerischen Nationalfonds finanziert wurde </li> <li>Eine Reihe, die entwurfsorientierte Ansätze für das Stadtklima weltweit beleuchtet </li> <li>Überarbeitete Neuausgabe </li></ul>

Second and revised edition The publication rethinks climate control – a key concern of the discipline of architecture – through the lens of city climate phenomena over the course of the 20th century. Based on a history of climate control on urban scales, it promotes the integration of indoors and outdoors in order to reduce environmental and thermal loads in cities. Just as heating and cooling practices inside the buildings are affecting the (urban) climate outdoors, urban heat islands are influencing the energy requirements and thermal conditions inside the buildings.While the first part of the book focuses on the interwar period in Europe, the publication’s second part considers examples from all over the globe, tracing the growing significance of ecological thinking for the design of urban environments.    Main outcome of a six-years research project on architecture and urban climate funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation New and revised edition  KLIMA POLIS: a series highlighting design-driven approaches to urban climates across the globe
