Abstract

This book re-examines the role of urban policy and planning in relation to the housing market in an era of global uncertainty and change. The relationship between planning and the housing market is a contested problem across research, policy, and practice. Problems with housing supply and affordability in many nations have been linked to planning system constraints, while the global financial crisis has raised new questions about the role of urban planning regulation and processes in responding to housing market trends. With reference to international cases from the United Kingdom, the United States, Ireland, Hong Kong and Australia, the book examines how different systems of urban planning and governance address complex and dynamic housing market trends. It also offers practical guidance on how urban planning can support an efficient supply of appropriate and affordable homes in preferred locations. A detailed study, which explains and decodes the workings of the planning system and housing market, this book will be of particular interest to scholars of human geography and urban planning, as well as housing policy makers and practitioners. .

Abstract

This forward-looking resource recasts the concept of healthy cities as not only a safe, pleasant, and green built environment, but also one that creates and sustains health by addressing social, economic, and political conditions. It describes collaborations between city planning and public health creating a contemporary concept of urban governance—a democratically-informed process that embraces values like equity. Models, critiques, and global examples illustrate institutional change, community input, targeted assessment, and other means of addressing longstanding sources of urban health challenges. In these ambitious pages, healthy cities are rooted firmly in the worldwide movement toward balanced and sustainable urbanization, developed not to disguise or displace entrenched health and social problems, but to encourage and foster solutions. Included in the coverage: Towards healthy urban governance in the century of the city Healthy cities emerge: Toronto, Ottawa, Copenhagen The role of policy coalitions in understanding community participation in healthy cities projects Health impact assessment at the local level The logic of method for evaluating healthy cities Plus: extended reports on healthy cities and communities in North and Latin America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and the Middle East Healthy Cities will interest and inspire community leaders, activists, politicians, and entrepreneurs working to improve health and well-being at the local level, as well as public health and urban development scholars and professionals. .

Abstract

Against the background of unprecedented rates of urbanisation in the Global South, leading to massive social, economic and environmental transformations, this book engages with the dire need to understand the ecology of such settings as the foundation for fostering sustainable and resilient human settlements in contexts that are very different to the Global North. It does so by bringing together scholars from around the world, drawing together research and case studies from across the Global South to illustrate, in an interdisciplinary and comprehensive fashion, the ecology of towns and cities in the Global South. Framed using a social-ecological systems lens, it provides the reader with an in-depth analysis and understanding of the ecological dynamics and ecosystem services and disservices within the complex and rapidly changing towns and cities of the Global South, a region with currently scarce representation in most of the urban ecology literature. As such the book makes a call for greater geographical balance in urban ecology research leading towards a more global understanding and frameworks. The book embraces the complexity of these rapid transformations for ecological and environmental management and how the ecosystems and the benefits they provide shape local ecologies, livelihood opportunities and human wellbeing, and how such knowledge can be mobilised towards improved urban design and management and thus urban sustainability.

Abstract

The book discusses the concept of the smart city, and is based on a multi-service and multi-sectoral approach to urban planning, including various urban functions and the human capital of cities. The work is divided into three parts. The first is an introductory section which covers definitions, policies and tools used at European level for the development and classification of a smart city. The second presents a selection of examples of Western and Eastern communities, which experienced technologies and strategies that have made them smart. The third describes in detail the main three possible approaches (economical, technological and social) to the smart city concept which are the focus ambits of the holistic concept of smart city. The work provides a good overview of the concept of smart city, and also offers a critical analysis of the various approaches to smart cities, in order to provide tools to develop solutions that address the smart development of cities with an approach as multi-sectoral as possible. Its accessible language and several examples make the book easy to read and appealing to public administrators, students, planners and researchers.

Abstract

This book presents multi-sector practical cases based on the author’s own research. It also includes the best practice, which could serve as a benchmark for the creation of smart cities. The global urbanisation index, i.e., the ratio of city dwellers to the total population, has been steadily increasing in recent years. It is highest in the Americas, followed by Europe, Asia and Africa. The city of the future will combine the intelligent use of IT systems with the potential of institutions, companies and committed, creative inhabitants. The administrative boundaries of today’s cities put certain constraints on their further growth, but in the future these boundaries will no longer be as relevant. Cities in Europe face the challenge of reconciling sustainable urban development and competitiveness – a challenge that will likely influence issues of urban quality such as the economy, culture, social and environmental conditions, changing a given city’s profile as well as urban quality in terms of its composition and characteristics.

Abstract

Sinds 1980 is Vlaanderen bevoegd voor zijn ruimtelijke ordening. Het had het begin van een doortastend beleid kunnen zijn, naar het adagio van de eerste Vlaamse minister-president Gaston Geens: 'We zullen moeten bewijzen dat wat wij zelf doen, beter is. 'Van dat voornemen is niets terecht gekomen. Het Vlaamse ruimtelijk beleid is al decennialang een draak. Het autonome Vlaanderen bakte er niks van. Erger nog, het gebeurde met voorbedachten rade: het was een bewuste politieke keuze van de opeenvolgende regeringen om de jongste twintig jaar vooral géén planmatig ruimtelijk beleid meer te voeren. Het vierluik van de ruimtelijke ordening (plannen-vergunnen-handhaven-grondbeleid) werd tot vergunnen gereduceerd: zo veel mogelijk, met regels die afwijkingen mogelijk maakten en daarbovenop nog eens uitzonderingsregels. Ruimtelijke planning werd op Vlaams niveau doorgeschoven naar de gemeenten die er ook geen prioritair belang aan hechten. Alles kan nog steeds, overal. De hoogste tijd dus voor een maatschappelijk debat waar de 'werkelijke' waarde van open ruimte in kaart wordt gebracht met aandacht voor ecologie, gezondheid en respect.

Abstract

De coronapandemie heeft het wereldsysteem, ons leven en alle grote steden op de proef gesteld. In De stad beter na corona? reflecteren stadsonderzoekers over welke stedelijke ongelijkheden covid precies heeft bloot gelegd of aangewakkerd en dit vanuit een uiteenlopende waaier van thematische insteken: van huisvesting tot diversiteit, van klimaat tot (wijk)gezondheidszorg. Onbevangen wordt nagedacht over hoe een meer rechtvaardige en dus gezondere stad na corona er zou kunnen uitzien: een 15-minutenstad, een auratische stad, een stad van capsules of zetten we eindelijk de stap voorbij de sacrificiële stad van vandaag?Dit boek wil een bijdrage leveren tot een bredere maatschappelijke discussie over een meer gezonde en rechtvaardige post-covidstad en daagt de lezer uit om te reflecteren over de rol van de stad in wereld.https://www.aspeditions.be/nl-be/book/de-stad-beter-na-corona/18697.htm
