This edited volume delves into the intricate challenges that cities face in the midst of evolving socio-political, economic, and environmental landscapes. With a focus on inclusivity and diversity, the book thoroughly examines the transformation of urban systems and their manifestations within broader spatial contexts. Employing a trans- and interdisciplinary approach, the editors have strategically curated diverse research clusters to address key aspects of inclusive urban transformation from multiple perspectives. These clusters explore alternative paradigms for sustainable urban transformation, the dynamics of city regions, inclusive tourism development, the de-contestation of urban heritage to diversify urban identities, and inclusive intersectional city-making practices. By fostering collaboration and cross-pollination among these clusters, the volume fosters a transdisciplinary understanding of inclusive and sustainable urban transformation, facilitating the development of more holistic approaches in conceptualizing and promoting inclusive urban theory and praxis.

"La psychanalyse est une recherche du monde extérieur, inévitablement conflictuelle, mais dans un effort d'échange avec le monde extérieur." Cet espace intérieur, Salomon Resnik le conçoit comme un espace pour vivre, sentir, penser, imaginer, rêver. Transcendant les oppositions catégorielles dedans/dehors, corps/esprit, l'espace mental donne sens, forme, luminosité à la vie. Or vivre son intériorité et la multiplicité de son être est difficile à assumer et on observe dans les vécus psychotiques un aplatissement de cet espace qui peut alors être rempli de vide, de fumée ou même de connaissances. La profession de psychanalyste consistera, nous dit Resnik, à utiliser son propre appareil mental, son propre espace mental pour aller à la rencontre de l'affectivité discordante ou barrée de l'autre. Salomon Resnik, nous invite ici, comme il l'a fait avec son public de l'Université à pénétrer dans l'espace qui se crée entre lui et ses patients, à la recherche de suggestions, de réflexions qui puissent donner sens à la vie mentale. Problèmes théoriques, histoires cliniques sont enrichis par la présentation d'œuvres de Magritte, De Chirico, Van Gogh et de dessins de ses patients, qui rendent le lecteur sensible à une expérience sensori-perceptive et esthétique de l'inconscient.

This volume explores the encounter between two processes that are unfolding in diverse patterns across Asia-the rapid urbanization of Asia across big cities, smaller towns, and the newest urban concentrations; and the contentious debates and novel schemes by which nature is figured and emplaced in cities and their conurbations. Contemporary Asian cities displace nature by causing its death and withering, but also embrace it through acts of renewal and the pursuit of sustainability. Contributors to this volume gather case studies from across Asia to address projects of urban greening and reimagining nature in urban life. The book illustrates how the intersection of urban growth and urban nature is a place rich with fresh ideas about urban planning, governance, and social life.

"This book is a good reference book for city planners, architects and civil engineers involved in the conceptualisation, design and building of urban habitations, who aspire to increase the liveability of their cities. It introduces the Singapore Green Plot Ratio (GnPR) as an Urban Planning Metric to promote the widespread and intensive use of greenery for new and existing buildings in towns and cities like Singapore - a former third world city that has transformed into one of the world's most liveable metropolises. Increasing urban greenery has been observed to enhance the quality of our built environment, and in turn, the quality of life of its inhabitants. The book shows readers how to do so using the GnPR, which it presents as an important urban complement of the leaf area ratio (LAI) concept, through an in-depth discussion of three key aspects of the GnPR. It proposes optimal levels of GnPR for various land-use types and how these levels are benchmarked against current levels of greenery provision; stipulates the greenery quantum which encourages the concentration of some plants, especially native trees and certain local species; and advocates the development of ecological or natural landscapes over manicured gardens. The book also discusses the impact of various levels of GnPR provision with the inevitable capital and maintenance costs of greening built environments, and how they affect the application of the GnPR guidelines"--Publisher's website.
