Abstract

Aanklacht tegen een van de laatste taboes: medicatieverslaving bij ouderen Karin Jacobs hield tijdens de laatste vier levensjaren van haar moeder een dagboek bij. Deze fragmenten vormen de basis van het autobiografische verhaal waarin de actrice openhartig vertelt over de tijd dat ze geklemd zat tussen haar BV-kinderen Jelle en Clara Cleymans en haar hypochondrische moeder. Dat leverde soms hilarische toestanden op, met vaak ook een schrijnend randje. Tegelijk is dit boek een zoektocht naar de mogelijke oorzaken waarom haar moeder van een vrolijke vrouw veranderde in een dramaqueen, verslaafd aan pillen en aandacht. Moederpijn is een geestige, wrange, ontroerende en herkenbare getuigenis, en tegelijk een aanklacht tegen een van de laatste taboes in onze samenleving: medicatiemisbruik en -verslaving bij ouderen. Karin Jacobs weet als geen ander hoe zo’n verslaving banden met naasten kan verstoren en zelfs volledig ontwrichten.

Abstract

"This monograph brings the urban planning approaches of Howard and Jacobs into a single urbanist context. It identifies pints of contrast as well as commonalities between the two approaches by setting them first onto a paradigmatic level of prime environmental archetypes that have shaped city form since archaic times. Through the examination of various urbanist and urban planning approaches throughout the 20th century both Howard and Jacobs are shown as steadfast albeit imperfect chaperones of the enviromental archetypes of the Farden and the Citadel for the idea city."--

Abstract

By the 1970s, 42nd Street in New York was widely perceived to be unsafe, a neighborhood thought to be populated largely by drug dealers, porn shops, and muggers. But in 1979, civic leaders developed a long-term vision for revitalizing one especially blighted block, Bryant Park. The reopening of the park in the 1990s helped inject new vitality into midtown Manhattan and served as a model for many other downtown revitalization projects. So what about urban policy can we learn from Bryant Park? In this new book, Andrew M. Manshel draws from both urbanist theory and his first-hand experiences as a urban public space developer and manager who worked on Bryant Park and later applied its strategies to an equally successful redevelopment project in a very different New York neighborhood: Jamaica, Queens. He candidly describes what does (and doesn’t) work when coordinating urban redevelopment projects, giving special attention to each of the many details that must be carefully observed and balanced, from encouraging economic development to fostering creative communities to delivering appropriate services to the homeless. Learning from Bryant Park is thus essential reading for anyone who cares about giving new energy to downtowns and public spaces.
