Abstract

For more than 30 years, arts education has been a low priority in the nation's public schools. During fiscal crises in the 1970's and 1980's in America's urban centers, arts teaching positions were cut. More recently, arts education in schools has dwindled as schools try to increase test scores in mathematics and reading within the time constraints of the school day. Some communities have responded with initiatives aimed at coordinating schools, cultural institutions, community-based organizations, foundations, and/or government agencies to promote access to arts learning for children in and out...

Abstract

The rise of Iskandar Malaysia as a regional hub has profoundly altered the domestic landscape, generating a knock-on effect on Johor's housing development, both economically and politically. Housing policy and development in Johor, as illustrated in the formation of Iskandar Malaysia, is riddled with conflict along two dimensions - "bumiputra versus non-bumiputra" and "federal government versus state government". The first one is entangled with international real estate development and foreign investment, while the latter has more to do with the rise of sub-national autonomy in Johor. Particularly in southern Johor, housing policy has increasingly been influenced by foreign investment through implementations of mega projects (e.g., Forest City). These mega housing projects not only boost the state's coffers, but also change the way housing is produced, financed and governed. Given the importance of sub-national governments in many large-scale housing projects in Iskandar Malaysia, the changing political conditions urge us to rethink the long-standing practice of national-centric development policy in Malaysia. Taking housing as a point of departure, the timing is ripe to revisit the role of state government in policy-making and urban governance.

Abstract

L’étude traite de l’augmentation de la population wallonne, l'étalement urbain, la consommation excessive d'espaces en Wallonie et l’épuisement des réserves foncières en zone d'habitat. L’échelle d’étude est le niveau communal.&#13;L’étude vise, d’une part, à présenter les critères qui expliquent la croissance de population à l’échelle communale et, d’autre part, notre problématique concernant l’impact des autorités communales sur leur développement démographique, compte tenu de leur contexte et perspectives locales.&#13;La démarche méthodologique propose une double analyse. Une démarche quantitative cherche d’abord à modéliser, par régression multiple, quelles variables incitent les habitants à s'installer dans une commune. Trois facteurs principaux y sont étudiés : la proximité aux pôles urbains principaux et aux frontières wallonnes, le prix de l’immobilier et la disponibilité foncière sur le territoire communal. Une démarche qualitative présente l’étude de cas de quatre communes aux évolutions démographiques observées atypiques : Perwez, Lasne, Aubange et La Roche-en-Ardenne.&#13;Les résultats montrent que les variables étudiées les plus significatives sont : le temps de trajets de la commune à Bruxelles et à Luxembourg-Ville, le prix médian d’un terrain à bâtir vendu et le taux d’offre foncière potentielle en zone d’habitat dans la commune.&#13;La conclusion montre que l’impact des autorités politiques communales n’explique qu’en partie le développement démographique de la commune, car ce dernier dépend avant tout des décisions et tendances démographiques régionales et est fortement influencé par la localisation géographique de la commune. The study deals with the Walloon population growth, the urban sprawl, the overuse of spaces in Wallonia and the depletion of land reserves in housing areas. It focuses on the municipal level.&#13;The survey aims to present, on the one hand, the criteria explaining the population growth at the municipal level and, on the other hand, a set of questions about the impact of the council authorities’ decisions on their own demographic development, taking into account local context and perspectives.&#13;The methodological approach proposes a double analysis. First, a quantitative approach seeks to model, by multiple regression, which variables encourage residents to settle in the municipality. Three main factors are studied here : the proximity to the main urban centres and the Walloon borders, the price of real estate and the land availability in the commune. Then, a qualitative approach presents the case study of four municipalities – Perwez, Lasne, Aubange and La Roche-en-Ardenne – with observed atypical demographic evolutions.&#13;The survey reveals that the most significant studied variables are the travel time to Brussels and Luxembourg-City, the median price of a sold building land and the rate of potential land supply in the housing area in the municipality.&#13;The conclusion is that the impact of the municipal political authorities only partly explains the demographic development of the municipality, because it depends essentially on regional demographic trends and decisions and is strongly influenced by the geographical location of the municipality.

Abstract

The symbiosis between the law, economics and finance is evidenced in our daily lives. This book elucidates the relationship between these factors in Singapore and Hong Kong in direct and indirect real estate market. In Singapore, for example, there is an inseparable relationship between law, economics, finance and the HDB market. The book also showcases the concept of invitation to treat and offer, monetary compensation for environmental externalities under the lens of institutional economics. It also sheds light on the relationship between financial crisis, regulations, housing prices and indirect real estate market.
