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

The Future of Planning at the End of History

Uneven Urban and Regional Growth: Global Urbanization, Regional Economies and Local Dynamics examines the links between economic growth, metropolitan development, and environmental sustainability in advanced economies. Focusing on urban areas as hubs of innovation and social change, the book explores how social and environmental factors intersect with economic processes. It advocates for new governance strategies that promote sustainable growth through inclusive policies and integrated urban tools. Drawing on regional economics, it offers a comparative analysis of settlement patterns and spatial planning, emphasizing multilevel governance to address social inequalities and contemporary urban challenges effectively. Structured in three sections, the book begins with a global-to-regional perspective on urbanization and economic dynamics, featuring analyses of uneven economic growth, urban-rural dynamics, and urbanization trends supported by global statistics and case studies from the United States, Iran, and Italy. The second section delves into socio-demographic drivers of urbanization at the regional and district levels, including population dynamics, family patterns, migration, and environmental health indicators in Mediterranean contexts. The final section focuses on local planning and territorial factors influencing urbanization, addressing topics such as landscape quality, labor markets, sustainable regional development, port infrastructure economics, and gendered urban spaces. Richly illustrated with photographs, graphs, maps, and case studies, the book integrates interdisciplinary perspectives from applied economics, geography, sociology, demography, planning, and socio-environmental sciences.

Global Urbanization, Regional Economies and Local Dynamics

Uneven Urban and Regional Growth

Le Corbusier hat 1954 in Ahmedabad den Sitz des Textilherstellerverbandes entworfen, der bislang nur selten publiziert wurde, aber dennoch als wichtiger Meilenstein im Werk des Architekten gilt. Der Bau nimmt grundlegende Stilmittel seines späteren Schaffens vorweg, wie beispielsweise für das Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts in Harvard. Das Buch dokumentiert das Gebäude und setzt es in Bezug zu seinem theoretischen Werk, wie Vers une architecture. Die Bedeutung zentraler Bezugspersonen wie Paul Valéry und John Ruskin für Le Corbusiers Arbeit manifestiert sich hier. Wichtige Elemente wie die promenade architecturale und der Gebrauch von brise-soleils werden dargelegt. Zahlreiche maßstäbliche Zeichnungen und neu erstellte Modelle verdeutlichen die wichtigsten Gestaltungsaspekte des Gebäudes. <li>Le Corbusiers Gebäude für die Millowners' Association von 1954 in Ahmedabad, Indien, ist ein zu entdeckendes Schlüsselwerk </li> <li>Attraktive Fotografien und neue Zeichnungen und Modelle, eigens für die Publikation erstellt </li> <li>Das Werk zeigt exemplarisch charakteristische Elemente des Schaffens von Le Corbusier </li>

The Millowners' Association Building in Ahmedabad, designed by Le Corbusier and completed in 1954, has rarely been published, but is nevertheless considered an important milestone in the architect's work. In particular, the building influenced his later work, such as the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard. This book documents the building and relates it to Le Corbusier's theoretical work, especially Vers une architecture. The significance of key figures such as Paul Valéry and John Ruskin for Le Corbusier's work is explained. Characteristic design elements such as the promenade architecturale and the use of brise-soleils are explored. In addition to numerous scaled drawings, newly produced models clarify the most important design aspects of the building.  Le Corbusier's 1954 building for the Millowners' Association in Ahmedabad is an understudied key work  With attractive photographs, new drawings, and models created especially for the publication  The structure exemplifies characteristic elements of Le Corbusier's work and his development as an architect

This book aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the so-called "endowment effect" in the housing market. In a nutshell, the phenomenon of overvaluing things we own which was first conceptualised in 1980 and has since been one of the most studied behavioural biases in economics.

Changing Mobilities

Mobility Injustice by Design examines the social exclusion of vulnerable people in urban spaces, revealing how millions of citizens have their 'right to roam' curbed by design and planning decisions made either intentionally to facilitate immobility or social exclusion, or because of a lack of awareness of the aggregated consequences.Ole B. Jensen's insightful volume offers a theoretically informed framework, allowing us to 'see' mobility injustices more clearly, consider how new knowledge can mobilize design ethics, and think about how mobility justice can be brought about. It challenges us to reassess how choices of materials, design of spaces, and implementation of technologies afford or hinder particular mobilities. It explores a way of thinking about mobility and injustice that recognizes that everyone is assisted in their mobility practices and that human capacity for acting in the world is mediated by spaces, things, artifacts, and technologies. It examines not only the centrality of design but also the possibility that design may be working counter to the widespread cultural belief that design is in the service of 'the good'. It locates thinking about mobility injustice between affect, experiences, and sensations on the one hand and reason, principles, and formal rules on the other. Focusing on three realms of practice, it reveals the ways in which the design of cities and urban spaces accommodates the needs of people living as unhoused, disabled, and aged and how these groups experience mobility injustice. Crucially, it provides insight into the potential to move toward a future, more mobility¿just society on a local, national, and global scale, in light of warfare, environmental, and migration crises.Mobility Injustice by Design informs the future agenda of both critical mobilities research and the design fields and reflects on the potential for those in the arts and design to provoke public engagement in these timely issues. It is essential reading for all those concerned with the study and practice of mobilities theory, urban sociology, urban planning and design, architecture, urban geography, disability studies, and gerontology.

This book is a memorial to Professor Paul Benneworth who died in 2020 at the age of 46, but also a review of the current state of the art in work on universities and place, identifying important new directions for research. The book showcases Paul's contribution, authored by those who worked with him, engaging with key ideas that Paul pursued and on which he was actively working.The chapters are grouped around three main themes. The first theme is focused on universities, cities and regions and examines the ways in which universities are embedded in place, with a particular emphasis on the governance of university-place relations and an international set of examples and case studies. This includes cross-institutional partnerships and also the physical consequences of university locations. A second theme is around local and global networks including the knowledge exchange process involving the university and business. These networks include social dynamics and social enterprise, as well as the role of academic diaspora in international knowledge exchange. The third theme then looks at regions and leadership and the strategic role of different stakeholders in place development. The book also includes a summary of Paul's life and work and a list of his writings.

First published in 1984, The Development of Planning Thought presents a critical and historical perspective on the development of planning. It spotlights the economic, political, and ideological dimensions of planning both in the UK, and through a case study of practice in Edinburgh.The author introduces students to critical/political economy approaches to planning, and outlines theories of uneven development, the state and ideology, showing how the theories can be applied. The book thus puts students of planning history, urban planning, and planning theory in touch with a literature which had mushroomed in the late 1970s, both in the UK and overseas. Practising planners will find the discussion of contemporary issues such as planning aid and professionalism useful. The case study of planning in Edinburgh will be of value to all those interested in the development of that city.

A Critical Perspective

The Development of Planning Thought

The dominant discourse views the Indian economy's transformation over several decades as a progression towards a grand, unified, and dynamic market economy. Critiquing this discourse, The Nonfarm Economy illustrates the prevalence and intensification of 'structural dualism'. Using both theoretical and empirical perspectives, Bhattacharjee, Chakrabarti, and Rajeev analyse the origins of this persistence and the deepening of a dualistic developmental pattern. By studying the Indian rural economy and parts of the rural Global South, they demonstrate how the contemporary capital-centric growth process itself has induced the intensification of dualism, alongside factors such as population growth and land fragmentation. Only a limited segment of the impoverished population can integrate with the expanding circuits of capital using their skills, resources, and networks; a large mass of people is thus pushed towards dispossession and exclusion. The book further examines the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on this development pattern, demonstrating how it has intensified the phenomenon of structural dualism. Contrary to the current prescriptions fixated on formal sector growth and policies extending government support, the authors posit a labour-focused (cluster-based) development model and offer constructive policy recommendations for achieving inclusive growth.

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
