International airports have become an inherent part of many urban regions and key transport infrastructures for metropolitan economies. Yet they are also a source of tensions, often associated with the contrasting impacts of their operation. Taking the example of Charles de Gaulle airport (CDG) in Paris, the author analyzes the factors influencing urban development and the related spatial strategies. Step by step, she traces the history of the airport, examines prominent conflicts and their management by planners, and derives broader lessons. Intended for town planners, policy makers, and urban designers, the book makes an important contribution to understanding the challenges and assessing the effectiveness of planning approaches for airport regions. Internationale Flughäfen sind ein fester Bestandteil vieler urbanen Regionen und wichtige Verkehrsinfrastrukturen für die urbane Ökonomie. Sie sind aber auch eine Quelle von Spannungen, die oft mit den gegensätzlichen Auswirkungen ihres Betriebs verbunden sind. Die Autorin analysiert am Beispiel des Flughafens Charles de Gaulle (CDG) in Paris Entwicklungsfaktoren und damit verbundene räumliche Strategien. Schritt für Schritt stellt sie die Geschichte des Flughafens dar, untersucht Konflikte und deren Bewältigung durch die Planer und leitet daraus weiterführende Lehren ab. Das Buch wendet sich an Stadtplaner, Kommunen und Architekten und leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Verständnis der Herausforderungen und zur Beurteilung der Wirksamkeit von Planungsansätzen für Flughafenregionen.

Mit dem Bau von Infrastruktursystemen geht die Erwartung einher, dass diese eine lange Zeit überdauern und in ihrer Form stabil bleiben. Stadtrohrpostsysteme, wie man sie aus dem 19. und 20. Jahrhundert kennt, werden heute nicht mehr betrieben. Daher untersucht diese Studie, anhand einer Analyse der Rohrpostnetze Berlins und Hamburgs, die Funktion sowie die Kritikalität von Stadtrohrpostsystemen. Interdisziplinäre Ansätze aus der Infrastruktur- und der KRITIS Forschung werden genutzt, um die Netzstrukturen und Zirkulationsweisen der Stadtrohrpost im Stadtraum herauszuarbeiten. Dabei wird der Blick auf Wandlungsprozesse, Nutzergruppen, Zeitlichkeit und den fortschreitenden Relevanzverlust der Technik gelenkt.

"This detailed and well-illustrated study explores the hundred-year history of the longest-surviving public-use airport in Ohio. Intertwining the story of the airport's development with the history of flight-education programs at the University, the book highlights a vast cast of characters and an examination of aviation's development on the local level throughout the last century. What was once Stow Field, a small airport in a rural community, stands at the center of this story. Kent State's participation in the federal government's Civilian Pilot Training Program in the years leading up to World War II led to state funding for purchase of the airport and prepared the way for the creation of collegiate aviation. This brought in Andrew Paton, who created the first flight-training curriculum and established a vision for the role the airport could play in a university-run program. In the period between the two World Wars, Stow Field was also the site of aviation exhibits that drew as many as 80,000 people, including the christening of Goodyear's first helium blimp. As Kent State's airport is now enjoying both a new vitality and long-awaited investment, William D. Schloman and Barbara F. Schloman place this in context with the at-times-uncertain survival of Kent State's aviation program. This comprehensive history will appeal to graduates of that program and all aviation history enthusiasts, as well as those interested in the history of the region more generally."--

"In Modern Middle-Class Housing in Tehran - Reproduction of an Archetype, Rana Habibi offers an engaging analysis of the modern urban history of Tehran during the Cold War period: 1945-1979. The book, while arguing about the institutionalism of modernity in the form of modern middle-class housing in Tehran, shows how vernacular archetypes found their way into the construction of new neighborhoods. The trajectory of ideal modernism towards popular modernism, the introduction of modern taste to traditional society through architects, while tracing the path of transnational models in local projects, are all subjects extensively expounded by Rana Habibi through engaging graphical analyses and appealing theoretical interpretations involving five modern Tehran neighborhoods"--
