"Offering a novel and interdisciplinary approach, this thought-provoking book critically analyses the notions of fragility and antifragility and addresses their connections and applications in planning theory, urban studies and architecture. It goes beyond the risk and resilience paradigm and proposes methodological and pragmatic strategies to cope with severe forms of uncertainty and socio-spatial inequalities. Showcasing expert contributions from leading scholars, this book illustrates how a specific research focus on fragility and antifragility may elucidate some key value-based facets of contemporary cities and regions in order to foster sustainability, innovation and justice. Chapters examine the theoretical and political dimensions of fragility and antifragility, exploring how these two opposing concepts can reimagine traditional rationality in public action and potentially reframe the methods used by architects, urban planners, and policy makers. Exploring conceptual, methodological and case-based aspects, this incisive book will be of great interest to academics and students within the fields of urban studies, cities and urban geography, architecture, social sciences, philosophy, technology and innovation studies. Its presentation of original accounts of antifragile plans, policies and projects will further benefit policy makers practising within these areas"--

• Depuis quelques années déjà, la gestion de l'espace urbain est informatisée dans les grandes agglomérations mais la dimension environnementale est très souvent occultée. Difficultés méthodologiques ? Antagonisme ? • Ce livre ouvre une piste encore inexplorée en France : la gestion de la ville dans toutes ses dimensions (sociale, économique, environnementale...) grâce à une banque de données par carroyage. Testée sur la région rouennaise, cette méthodologie présente les espaces urbain et péri-urbain en 10 000 cases de 250 mètres de côté : plusieurs dizaines de variables constituent ainsi une véritable banque de données par carroyage.

In this open access publication, the social cohesion of urban neighborhoods and their residents is examined, which is often viewed as vulnerable since increased mobility, individualization, wider socio-economic and demographic changes have fundamentally altered the basis for everyday social interaction in urban neighborhoods. Anna Steigemann gives scholarly attention to the concrete places where neighborly interactions still take place and to how these interactions affect local community building. She illuminates and explores the ordinary everyday interactions and social practices in and around shops and gastronomic facilities on a shopping street in Berlin-Neukölln, revealing how these businesses are important places where community is practiced, but also why they are increasingly threatened by commercial and residential gentrification. Contents Social Life and Trade on a Metropolitan Shopping Street Sensitizing Theoretical Concepts and Social Practice Approach Ethnographic Research Design for the Study of Local Businesses The Social and Spatial Context of the Case Businesses Businesses as Third Places Store Owners on a Gentrifying Street: Public Characters that Offer “More” Target Groups Researchers and students in the fields of urban studies, urban sociology, geography, and planning Practitioners and decision-makers in the fields of urban-planning , urban and local economic development The Author Dr. Anna Steigemann is an Urban Sociologist and works as an Assistant Professor at the Chair of International Urbanism and Design at Technical University Berlin. .

This open access book focuses on the formation and later socio-spatial trajectories of large housing estates in the Baltic countries—Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. It also explores claims that a distinctly “westward-looking orientation” in their design produced housing estates that were superior in design to those produced elsewhere in the Soviet Union (between 1944 and 1991, Estonia was a member republic of the USSR). The first two parts of the book provide contextual material to help readers understand the vision behind housing estates in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. These sections present the background of housing estates in the Baltic Republics as well as challenges and debates concerning their formation, evolution, and present condition and importance. Subsequent parts of the book consist of: demographic analyses of the socioeconomic characteristics and ethnicity of housing estate residents (past and present) in the three Baltic capital cities, case studies of people and places related to housing estates in the Baltic countries, and chapters exploring relevant special topics and themes. This book will be of interest to students, scholars, and advocates interested in understanding the past, present, and future importance of housing estates in the Baltic countries.
