"Now, for the first time in history, the majority of the world's population lives in cities. But urbanization is accelerating in some places and slowing down in others. The sprawling megacities of Asia and Africa as well as many other smaller and medium-sized cities throughout the "Global South" are expected to continue growing. At the same time, older industrial cities in wealthier countries are experiencing protracted socioeconomic decline. Nonetheless, mainstream urban studies continues to treat a handful of superstar cities in Europe and North America as the exemplars of world urbanism, even though current global growth and development represent a dramatic break with past patterns. Martin J. Murray offers a groundbreaking guide to the multiplicity, heterogeneity, and complexity of contemporary global urbanism. He identifies and traces four distinct pathways that characterize cities today: tourist-entertainment cities with world-class aspirations; struggling postindustrial cities; megacities experiencing hypergrowth; and "instant cities," or master-planned cities built from scratch. Murray shows how these different types of cities respond to different pressures and logics, rather than progressing through the stages of a predetermined linear path. He highlights new spatial patterns of urbanization that have undermined conventional understandings of the city, exploring the emergence of polycentric, fragmented, haphazard, and unbounded metropolises. Such cities, he argues, should not be seen as deviations from a norm but rather as alternatives within a constellation of urban possibility. Innovative and wide-ranging, Many Urbanisms offers ways to understand the disparate forms of global cities today on their own terms"--

"This book explores military operations, including indirect support to other interagency actors and functions in dense urban terrain and megacities. Dense urban terrain describes urban areas with high population densities that, in the developing world, often outstrip the capacity of local governance systems to exert formal control. The term megacity describes a city with a population of 10 million or more. These environments define patterns of human settlement. In 1950, only 30 percent of the world's population lived in cities compared to more than 55 percent in 2018. Much of this growth is concentrated in large, urban centers that connect a global flow of goods and ideas. By 2030, there will be more than 40 of these megacities"-- Provided by publisher.

Dieses Fachbuch beschreibt die zentralen Herausforderungen, mit denen sich Städte konfrontiert sehen und zeigt Ansätze, welche Handlungsoptionen sich den Städten aus Sicht des Städtemanagements bieten. Angesichts der in Deutschland und weltweit zu beobachtenden steigenden Urbanisierung ist die Auseinandersetzung mit Smart Cities ein zentrales gesellschaftspolitisches Thema. Zur Erhaltung der Zukunftsfähigkeit von Städten wird erörtert, welche zentralen Themenfelder am dringendsten zu berücksichtigen sind. Hierzu zählen ebenso nachhaltige Verkehrskonzepte wie auch innovative Formen des Verwaltungshandelns mit Blick auf die Einbindung der Bürger. Dieses Fachbuch ist für Führungskräfte in Stadtverwaltungen interessant, gleichermaßen aber auch für Studierende mit Studienschwerpunkten in den Bereichen Nachhaltigkeit, Logistik, Controlling, Vernetzung, Digitalisierung und Innovation in urbanen Kontexten.
