Urban Geography

Cities, Politics & Power

A Global Perspective Michael Pacione, University of Strathclyde, UK

The principal goal of this third edition of the book remains that of providing instructors and students of the contemporary city with a comprehensive introduction to the expanding field of urban studies. Each of the thirty chapters has been revised to incorporate recent developments in the field.

All of the popular study aids are retained; the glossary has been expanded; and chapter references and notes updated to reflect the latest research. This third edition also provides new and expanded discussions of key themes and debates including detailed consideration of metacities, boomburgs, public space, urban sprawl, balanced communities, urban economic restructuring, poverty and financial exclusion, the right to the city, urban policy, reverse migration, and traffic and transport problems.

Simon Parker, University of York, UK Series: Routledge Critical Introductions to Urbanism and the City

Cities, Politics and Power combines the traditional concern with how the cities in which we live are organized and run with a broader focus on cities and urban regions as multiple sites and agents of power. This book is divided into five sections, with a short introduction outlining the argument and organization of the text. Part two charts the development of the urban polity and considers the ways in which coercion and force continue to be used to segregate, oppress and annihilate urban populations. Part three critically examines the key collective actors and processes that compete for and organize political power within cities, and how urban governance operates and interacts with lesser and greater scales of government and networks of power. Part four then explores the ways in which ‘the political’ is constituted by urban inhabitants, and how social identity, information and communication networks, and the natural and built environment all comprise intersecting fields of urban power. The conclusion calls for a broader theoretical and thematic approach to the study of urban politics in order to reflect more fully the global transformation of political, economic and cultural space resulting from the urbanisation of the world’s population.

Jo Beall and Sean Fox both at London School of Economics, UK

Helen Jarvis, Jonathan Cloke, Loughborough University, UK and Paula Kantor, Director of the Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit, Kabul, Afghanistan

Series: Routledge Perspectives on Development

Cities and Development provides a critical exploration of the dynamic relationship between urbanism and development. Highlighting both the challenges and opportunities associated with rapid urban change, the book surveys: • the historical relationship between urbanization and development • the role cities play in fostering economic growth in a globalizing world

• the unique characteristics of urban poverty and the poor record of interventions designed to tackle it • the complexities of managing urban environments; issues of urban crime, violence, war and terrorism in contemporary cities • the importance of urban planning, governance and politics in shaping city futures.

This book brings into conversation debates from urban and development studies and highlights the strengths and weaknesses of current policy and planning responses to the contemporary urban challenge. It includes research orientated supplements in the form of summaries, boxed case studies, development questions and further reading.

The book is intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students interested in urban, international and development studies, as well as policy-makers and planners concerned with equitable and sustainable urban development.

Series: Routledge Critical Introductions to Urbanism and the City

Cities and Gender is a systematic treatment of urban and gender studies combined. It presents both a feminist critique of mainstream urban policy and planning and a gendered reorientation of key urban social, environmental and city-regional debates. It looks behind the ‘headlines’ on issues of transport, housing, uneven development, regeneration and social exclusion, for instance, to account for the ‘hidden’ infrastructure of everyday life. International case studies alert the reader to stark contrasts in gendered life-chances (differences between north and south as well as inequalities and diversity within these regions) while at the same time highlighting interdependencies which globally thread through the lives of women and men as the result of uneven development.

This book introduces the reader to previously neglected dimensions of gendered critical urban analysis. It sheds light, through competing theories and alternative explanations, on recent transformations of gender roles, state and personal politics and power relations; across intersecting spheres: of home, work, the family, urban settlements and civil society. Each chapter includes key definitions, ‘boxed’ concepts and case study evidence along with specifically tailored learning activities and further reading. This is both a timely and trenchant discussion that has pertinence for students, scholars and researchers.

Cities and Cinema

Cities and Sexualities

Barbara Mennel, University of Florida, USA

Phil Hubbard, Loughbourough University, UK

Series: Routledge Critical Introductions to Urbanism and the City

Series: Routledge Critical Introductions to Urbanism and the City The city is often represented as a space of sexual experimentation, radicalism and freedom, a place where individuals can pursue or purchase a rich diversity of sexual pleasures. Yet these freedoms are often held in check by those who regard unfettered sexuality as a source of urban disorder, with planning, licensing, zoning and policing used to contain and repress ‘dangerous’ spaces of sex.

Using examples drawn from North America, Europe and beyond, this book describes the importance of the city in shaping our sexual and intimate lives. At the same time, it describes how the sexual fears and fantasies of urban designers, planners and governors produce cities that cater for mainstream tastes and proclivities but marginalize the queer, transgressive and ‘perverted’.

Highlighting the inescapable relationship between sex and the city, this book provides the reader with an introduction to the literature on sexuality and space, and draws important conclusions about the role of the city in reproducing heteronormative values.

Selected Contents: 1. Introducing Cities and Sexualties 2. Sex in the City 3. The Moral Geographies of the City 4. Domesticating Sex 5. Sex in Public 6. On the Town: Sex and Leisure 7. Consuming Sex and Adult Entertainment 8. World Cities of Sex 9. Conclusions August 2011: 6-1/4 x 9-1/4 Hb: 978-0-415-56645-2: £90.00 Pb: 978-0-415-56647-6: £23.99 eBook: 978-0-203-86149-3 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415566476

Cities and Cinema puts urban theory and cinema studies in dialogue. The book’s first section analyzes three important genres of city films that follow in historical sequence, each associated with a particular city, moving from the city film of the Weimar Republic to the film noir associated with Los Angeles and the image of Paris in the cinema of the French New Wave. The second section discusses socio-historical themes of urban studies, beginning with the relationship of film industries and individual cities, continuing with the portrayal of war torn and divided cities, and ending with the cinematic expression of utopia and dystopia in urban science fiction. The last section negotiates the question of identity and place in a global world, moving from the portrayal of ghettos and barrios to the city as a setting for gay and lesbian desire, to end with the representation of the global city in transnational cinematic practices.

The book suggests that modernity links urbanism and cinema. It accounts for the significant changes that city film has undergone through processes of globalization, during which the city has developed from an icon in national cinema to a privileged site for transnational cinematic practices. It is a key text for students and researchers of film studies, urban studies and cultural studies.

Selected Contents: Section 1 1. Modernity and the City Film: Berlin 2. The Dark City: Film Noir – Los Angeles 3. The City of Love: Paris Section 2 4. City Film Industry: Hong Kong 5. The Divided City and the City in Ruins: Belfast, Beirut, and Berlin 6. Utopia and Dystopia: Fantastic and Virtual Cities Section 3 7. Ghettos and Barrios 8. The City as Queer Playground 9.

Cities and Design Paul L. Knox, Virginia Tech, USA

Urban Regeneration in the UK

Series: Routledge Critical Introductions to Urbanism and the City

Andrew Tallon, University of the West of England, Bristol, UK

Cities and Design explores the complex relationships between design and urban environments. It traces the intellectual roots of urban design, presents a critical appraisal of the imprint and effectiveness of design professions in shaping urban environments, examines the role of design in the material culture of contemporary cities, and explores the complex linkages among designers, producers and distributors in contemporary cities: for example fashion and graphic design in New York; architecture, fashion and publishing in London; furniture, industrial design, interior design and fashion in Milan; haute couture in Paris; and so on.

This book offers a distinctive social science perspective on the economic and cultural context of design in contemporary cities, presenting cities themselves as settings for design, design services and the ‘affect’ associated with design.

This text provides an accessible, yet critical, synthesis of urban regeneration in the UK incorporating key policies, approaches, issues and debates.

The central objective of the book is to place the historical and contemporary regeneration agenda into context. Section one sets up the conceptual and policy framework for urban regeneration in the UK. Section two traces policies that have been adopted by central government to influence the social, economic and physical development of cities, including early municipal interventions in the late nineteenth century, communityfocused urban policies of the late 1960s, entrepreneurial property-led regeneration of the 1980s and competition for urban funds in the 1990s. The penultimate section illustrates the key thematic policies and strategies that have been pursued by cities themselves, focusing particularly on improving economic competitiveness and tackling social disadvantage. These approaches are contextualised by discussions covering, for example, urban competitiveness policies and the focus on sustainable urban regeneration.

The final section summarises key issues and debates facing urban regeneration, and speculates upon future directions.

This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date synthesis that will fill a significant gap in the current literature on regeneration and will be a tool for students as well as a seminal read for practitioners and researchers.

Readings and Reflections on Public Space

Insurgent Public Space

Anthony M. Orum, University of Illinois, Chicago, USA and Zachary P. Neal, Michigan State University, USA Series: The Metropolis and Modern Life

Public spaces have long been the focus of urban social activity, but investigations of how public space works often adopt only one of several possible perspectives, which restricts the questions that can be asked and the answers that can be considered. In this volume, Anthony Orum and Zachary Neal explore how public space can be a facilitator of civil order, a site for power and resistance, and a stage for art, theatre, and performance.

They bring together these frequently unconnected models for understanding public space, collecting classic and contemporary readings that illustrate each, and synthesize them in a series of original essays. Throughout, they offer questions to provoke discussion, and conclude with thoughts on how these models can be combined by future scholars of public space to yield more comprehensive understanding of how public space works.

Guerrilla Urbanism and the Remaking of Contemporary Cities Edited by Jeffrey Hou, University of Washington, USA

In cities around the world, individuals and groups are reclaiming and creating urban sites, temporary spaces and informal gathering places. These ‘insurgent public spaces’ challenge conventional views of how urban areas are defined and used, and how they can transform the city environment. No longer confined to traditional public areas like neighbourhood parks and public plazas, these guerrilla spaces express the alternative social and spatial relationships in our changing cities.

With nearly twenty illustrated case studies, this volume shows how instances of insurgent public space occur across the world. Examples range from community gardening in Seattle and Los Angeles, street dancing in Beijing, to the transformation of parking spaces into temporary parks in San Francisco.

Drawing on the experiences and knowledge of individuals extensively engaged in the actual implementation of these spaces, Insurgent Public Space is a unique cross-disciplinary approach to the study of public space use, and how it is utilized in the contemporary, urban world. Appealing to professionals and students in both urban studies and more social courses, Hou has brought together valuable commentaries on an area of urbanism which has, up until now, been largely ignored.

Environment and the City Peter Roberts, University of Leeds, UK, Joe Ravetz and Clive George both at University of Manchester, UK Series: Routledge Introductions to Environment

Environment and the City is an introduction to the many layers of the ‘human urban environment’. It examines the full range of issues and elements that make-up the urban environment, including the consumption of resources, population pressures, and the pattern of urban development.

These different issues and elements are examined through adopting an inter-disciplinary perspective, drawing equally on geography, sociology, economics and political science, as well as the environmental and resource sciences. As a consequence, the book is able to focus on the key debates that are of critical importance for the cities of both the developed and less-developed nations. The result is not a simple, single solution, rather the book offers a set of directions and tools of enquiry that provide a realistic and practical approach to understanding and managing sustainable cities and regions.

This book is a concise and accessible guide for all students interested in the environmental issues emanating from our urban societies. Primarily written to aid student understanding, the easily navigable text features boxed practical examples, discussion points, signposts to reading and websites and a glossary. Nevertheless the book will also be useful to policy-makers and practitioners in geography and environmental studies, urban planning and development, urban politics and sociology, and others who think the future of our urban civilization and its impact on the environment is pertinent.

Theoretical and Practical Tools

This Handbook contains original contributions from leading academics and practitioners from across the world to provide an in-depth coverage of the main elements of practical urban ecology. The sixty-five chapters provide practitioners and students with the wealth of interdisciplinary information needed to manage the biota and green landscapes in urban areas. In six parts it deals with the philosophies, concepts and history of urban ecology; followed by consideration of the biophysical character of the urban environment and the diverse habitats found within it. It then examines human relationships with urban nature, the health, economic and environmental benefits of urban ecology before discussing the methods used in urban ecology and ways of putting the science into practice.

Edited by Steven A. Moore, Univeristy of Texas, USA

Though many disciplines have been advocating the need to create a world which is sustainable, too often the theories and ideas are discipline specific and too narrow for comprehensive adoption. The authors of this book – all leading thinkers in their fields – instead propose a more general way of thinking, a pragmatic and pluralistic approach. Rather than suggesting a single solution to the problem of how to live sustainably, this collection instead discusses broader approaches to social and environmental change.

The ideas here contribute to important cross-disciplinary discourses which emphasize the need to think beyond the present and consider the consequences of our actions.

Utilizing knowledge from architecture, business, economics, engineering, history, philosophy, planning, science and technological studies this book supports a constantly changing approach to the issues we currently are, and will shortly be, facing in our planet’s future.

Aimed primarily at students, this text appeals to undergraduates and postgraduates in almost any discipline, especially those interested in how to secure a future in which we can live productively but not destructively with those other humans and non-humans which inhabit the Earth.

Edited by Harriet A. Bulkeley, Vanesa Castan-Broto both at University of Durham, UK, Mike Hodson and Simon Marvin both at University of Salford, UK Series: Routledge Studies in Human Geography Cities and Low Carbon Transitions presents a groundbreaking analysis of the role of cities in low carbon socio-technical transitions. Insights from the fields of urban studies and technological transitions are combined to examine how, why and with what implications cities bring about low carbon transitions. The book outlines the key concepts underpinning theories of socio-technical transition and assesses its potential strengths and limits for understanding the social and technological responses to climate change that are emerging in cities. It draws on a diverse range of examples including world cities, ordinary cities and transition towns, from North America, Europe, South Africa and China, to provide evidence that expectations, aspirations and plans to undertake purposive socio-technical transitions are emerging in different urban contexts.

The book addresses academics, policy makers, practitioners and researchers interested in the development of systemic responses in cities to curb climate change.

There is a vast amount of information about a city which is invisible to the human eye – crime levels, transportation patterns, cell phone use and air quality to name just a few. If a city was able to be defined by these characteristics, what form would it take? How could it be mapped?

Nadia Amoroso tackles these questions by taking statistical urban data and exploring how they could be transformed into innovative new maps. The ’unseen’ elements of the city are examined in groundbreaking images throughout the book, which are complemented by interviews with Winy Maas and James Corner, comments by Richard Saul Wurman, and sections by the SENSEable City Lab group and Mark Aubin, co-founder of Google Earth.
