Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2002 in the subject Sociology - Habitation and Urban Sociology, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: 'Our property seems to me the most beautiful in the world. It is so close to Babylon that we enjoy all the advantages of the city, and yet when we come home we are away from the noise and dust'. Written in cuneiform on a clay tablet, this letter to the King of Persia in 539 B.C. represents the first extant expression of the suburban ideal. (K. T. Jackson 1985)2600 years later in the United States things have slightly changed; our property might still appears as the most beautiful in the world but we do not have to go to the city anymore to benefit from all the advantages of this. The 'advantages' instead have moved themselves outside the city centres to constitute what Peter G. Rowe calls the 'middle landscape', a heterogeneous entity that lies between the city and the countryside.What are the social and political consequences of the 'middle landscape' today.…

Sjæland and Skåne are linked.New opportunities are opened. Two countries are brought together in one region. Øresund is born. The youngest generations in both cities will grow up not as two separate peoples, but as citizens of one and the same Region.'(From the speech held by both mayors of Malmö Ilmar Reepalu and Copenhagen Jens Kramer Mikkelsen in occasion of the opening of the Øresund fixed link July 1st 2000)How the creation of one Region: 'Øresundsregionen' can influence the sense of identity of two nations: Denmark and Sweden What tools the Danish and Swedish governments are using to achieve integration Is it necessary to be the same to share the same identity What does identity mean today.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Urban and Regional Planning, London School of Economics, language: English, abstract: Kartal and Pendik are two districts of Istanbul located in the south coast of the Anatolian side. Together they host the 'Urban Regeneration Project for Kartal sub-centre & Kartal-Pendik waterfront' area. In order to understand the project s development priorities, it is relevant to position it in the wider national and city context.[.]Kartal-Pendik s story has many predecessors in Istanbul and in the world. It is an old story that tells us that quality of life can be achieved primarily with economic growth. It is part of the neoliberal s thought.[.]The challenge in city-making is to find forms of governance able to use the generative economic aspect of the city, in a more equal way for all the citizens (Soja and Kanai, 2007), (Harvey, 2008). 'It is not easy to create a truly sustainable city, but certain condition must be met: transparent governance, decent legal work, innovative infrastructures to conserve the environment, intelligent land use with integrated community development and social cohesion along with cultural diversity' (Perlman & O Meera, 2007: 185). What strategies can Istanbul adopt to eliminate the obstacles present in the KPDB to reach a truly sustainable development.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Urban and Regional Planning, grade: A, London School of Economics, course: Regional and Urban Planning, language: English, abstract: This essay discusses the extent to which neo-liberalism and city planning are compatible or not within Reykjavík s different political administrations. Observing the city and describing its spatial changes are the tools used to examine this compatibility. Building a city is not just a physical act but the materialization of our decisions and/or aspirations, which happen in a cultural, economic and social framework. City planning and neo-liberalism are two different politics (Chang 2010). Asking how and in what extent they are compatible is like asking whether the Republican Party politics is compatible or not with the Democratic one. The final aim is the same for both: to improve society, but the tools chosen may differ for each of them. The point that is important to make is that both parties are parts of a bigger picture that is called democracy. In a democratic state the power belongs to the people who have the right to vote and therefore to elect their representatives. Equally, neo-liberalism (also known as free-market capitalism) and city planning are parts of a bigger economic system that is called capitalism. There are many ways to intend capitalism, neo-liberalism is just one (Chang 2010). The relation between state and market in a democratic state is a relationship of power and distribution of duties, and it has been changing through the years reflecting our value, morals, beliefs and our understanding of the world.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Urban and Regional Planning, grade: A, London School of Economics, course: Urban studies, language: English, abstract: 'Mistakes were certainly made. The private banks failed, the supervisory system failed, the politics failed, the administration failed, the media failed, and the ideology of an unregulated free market utterly failed. This has called for a fundamental review of many elements of our society. In that respect, democracy, the rule of law and close international cooperation has been and will continue to be our strongest weapons' Prime Minister Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir reflecting on the Icelandic economic collapse, 12 April 2010.The neoliberal experiment which was undertaken in Iceland, from the 1990s up to the financial collapse of 2008, generated unprecedented inequality not just in the country's income distribution (Olafsson & Kristjansdóttir 2010) but in the built environment as well. This paper outlines the spatial inequality that has emerged in the city of Reykjavík and its political, economic, cultural context. Different urban artifacts are examined through Sennett's concept of Open City, which gives us the instrument to value their spatial definition. Finally we ask ourselves whether the political revolution that followed the economic meltdown has produced signs of change in our city. …

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Master's Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Urban and Regional Planning, grade: Distinction, London School of Economics, course: Urban and Regional Planning, language: English, abstract: Small cities (less than 500,000 inhabitants) host fifty-two percent of the world urban population, yet they are profoundly neglected in the urban studies field. This research focuses on the small city of Reykjavík (118,326 inhabitants), and investigates how the planning system is trying to build a new urban strategy away from the world city model which was adopted until the banking collapse of 2008. The results reveal that the city is going through a cultural renaissance animated by a multitude of small events, enhancements of the public realm, grassroots initiatives and a more fruitful collaboration between planning authorities and citizens. At the same time the new Reykjavík master plan currently under discussion is prioritising growth scenarios affiliated with big-iconic developments. This dissertation concludes that the planning system needs to support a more responsive, integrated and holistic urbanism at a regional and governance level. It should support a politics of small things, protecting the human scale, the sense of place, and diversity, by enhancing the endogenous resources and developing processes of participation in the city making which are the bases of the reconstruction of trust, self-confidence and citizenship.…
