Urbanism Beyond 2020' explores numerous questions triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic: Why is city making a health project? How are ecological and human wellbeing interrelated? How can leadership and governance help bridge gaps in our unjust cities? How might we renew our relationship with dwellings and neighbourhoods? How resilient and adaptable are our cities during uncertain times? Amidst climate change and global warming, is the pandemic a prelude to the challenges to come?0Addressed to anyone invested in the well-being of our cities, this collection of essays by an accomplished urban designer and city planner reminds us why the pointers to our future will not emerge exclusively from affluent nations or less developed societies alone, why we live in an interconnected world, and why this pandemic is a crucial period to reexamine the impact of our cities on our planet's future.

The act of identifying, protecting, restoring, and reusing buildings, districts, and built landscapes of historic and cultural significance is, at its best, a reflective and consequential process of urban and socio-economic reform. It has the potential to reconcile conflicting memories, meanings, and cultural tensions, bridging and expanding the perceived boundaries of multiple disciplines towards bigger aspirations of city-making and social justice. How and where do such aspirations overlap and differ across nations and societies across the world? In places with different histories, governance structures, regulatory stringency, and populist dispositions, who are the specific players, and what are the actual processes that bring about bigger and deeper change beyond just the conservation of an architectural or urban entity of perceived value? This collection of scholarly articles by theorists, academics, and practitioners explores the global complexity, guises, and potential of heritage conservation. Going from Tokyo to Cairo, Shenzhen to Rome, and Delhi to Moscow, this volume examines a vast range of topics - indigenous habitats, urban cores, vernacular infrastructure, colonial towns, squatters, burial sites, war zones, and modern landmarks. It surfaces numerous inherent issues - water stress, deforestation, social oppression, poverty, religion, immigration, and polity, expanding the definitions of heritage conservation as both a professional discipline and socio-cultural catalyst. This book argues that the intellectual and praxis limits of heritage conservation - as the agency of reading, defining, and intervening with built heritage - can be expansive, aimed at bigger positive change beyond a specific subject or object; plural, enmeshed with multiple fields and specializations; and empathetic, born from the actual socio-political realities of a place.

Terwijl er steeds meer mensen naar de stad trekken, breidt de stedelijke periferie zich uit ten koste van de natuur. Ontwerpen voor duurzaamheid door herontwikkeling legt uit hoe duurzaamheid kan worden gerealiseerd door stedelijke herontwikkeling en upcycling. De grootschalige stedelijke herontwikkelingsprocessen die in dit boek aan de orde komen, zijn gebaseerd op een succesvol stedelijk herontwikkelingsgebied in Nederland, het Paleiskwartier in 's-Hertogenbosch. Dit boek vertelt het bijna drie decennia beslaande verhaal over het beleid, hoe beslissingen werden genomen, ontwerpen tot stand kwamen, projecten zich gefaseerd ontwikkelden en de gemeente op een unieke manier samenwerkte met de private sector. Essays en interviews met betrokkenen - waaronder directeuren, ontwerpers, ontwikkelaars en gemeentefunctionarissen - geven een gedetailleerd overzicht van de totstandkoming van dit project.
