The book provides a grounded and interdisciplinary analysis of the effectiveness of community participation in urban planning practice in multicultural Australia. The book engages with existing and emerging debates on participation in urban planning and provides fresh evidence to show how and why community participation is problematic, particularly in the context of the status quo of top-down decision-making, neglect of social capital, and marginalisation of diverse community groups. The book provides ways to empower local communities, particularly disadvantaged groups, to ensure representation and accountability in planning practice. The book offers critical guidance on effective community participation for multicultural communities, planners, and development practitioners.

European Union policy on rural development and EU research programmes aim to help rural areas of the EU meet the wide range of economic, environmental and social challenges of the 21st Century. However, the challenges facing rural areas of Europe, and their people, remain significant and highly affected by the crises of our current era. This contributed volume comprises 12 research studies, exploring the intersection of research, policy and innovation strategy across the diverse rural regions of the Europe Union.

Conducted in different countries, these studies point to the challenges that lie at the heart of strategic planning in public policy. The book ultimately supports an EU vision for future rural development, digitalisation, sustainability planning and innovation strategy. It is not only a source of data on the problems faced by local communities in different European countries, but offers suggestions for practical use of bottom-up and multiactor perspective for policy-making, business development and community engagement at local, regional and national level. It will be of great interest to scholars and students of rural development, innovation strategy, the agricultural sector and EU policy.

While global urban discourse remains dominated by the spectacular, high-rise gentrification of central city areas, this book aims to deepen our understanding of the quiet, mundane redevelopments that transform the inner-city neighborhoods of the Global East. Exploring this "shadow of gentrification," it provides a rich empirical analysis of Osaka, Japan-a primary example of emerging neoliberalism playing out across an inner-city shaped by the developmental state. Despite departing from conventional gentrification, the analysis focuses on social change and capital reinvestment. Through evidence from extensive field research and interviews, it traces three distinct trajectories of neighborhood change: retro renovation driven by small businesses in Nakazaki; art-led renovation facilitated by a local landlord in Kitakagaya; and welfare-led renovation triggered by livelihood protection amendments in Northwest Nishinari. The analysis reveals a nascent "precarious city," in which the working class is replaced by populations marked by precarity and fragmentation, standing outside the societal project of the developmental state. Ultimately, this book argues for embracing the trajectories of neighborhood change in the Global East, while treating gentrification as a conceptual vanishing point to guide analyses that sometimes lead into the spotlight, and sometimes into the shadow of gentrification.

This book introduces the research perspective and development of urban social geography, the main schools, and their research methods in foreign countries. The book is divided into three parts.

The first part is a general introduction to the teaching and research methods of urban social geography. This book focuses on how to carry out social surveys on the phenomena and problems of urban social geography in China, as well as the key points to pay attention to in completing an urban social geography research independently, especially the specific writing points of the paper, including the structure and logical relationship of the paper, the specific writing, paragraph arrangement, abstract writing, the selection of keywords, the writing of literature review, the use of scientific language, the writing of discussions and conclusions, literature query and reference annotation, etc.

The second and third parts are on the teaching and research practice of urban social geography. It is divided into two parts: macro perspective and micro perspective. In addition to a few papers written by the editor-in-chief of this book, most of the papers are carefully selected from the works of Peking University students, aiming to provide excellent model essays for undergraduate or graduate students in related majors, which can be compared with the previous general thesis, serve as a reference, and are also convenient for students to understand intuitively.

City Opaque is a book about how cities are produced-not just with plans, money, concrete and cranes, but through grey spaces that operate through erasure, ambiguity, and the overproduction of contradictory laws and regulations. Set in Ho Chi Minh City, widely known as Saigon, Hun Kim follows developers, state officials, investors, and residents as they navigate one of the fastest-growing urban economies in the world. Through years of close observation and lived encounters - from rooftop bars overlooking glittering construction sites to neighborhoods quietly erased by disappearing planning maps - he reveals a city shaped as much by what is hidden, revised, or forgotten as by what is planned and recorded.

Rather than treating corruption, legal ambiguity, and disorder as failures of development, this book shows how opacity itself is a form of governmental reason and a strategy for producing space in the city. Laws multiply but rarely clarify. Archives disappear. Plans are rewritten after the fact. These practices are born out of rationalities that enable land to be reassigned, capital to move, and futures to be reimagined - often at great cost to some residents, but with enormous payoff for others. Moving beyond familiar stories of "corruption" or "failed governance," City Opaque offers a new way of understanding urban development in Southeast Asia and beyond.

Lessons from Bologna on how ordinary people take charge of urban spaces and make their cities more democratic

Proprietors for a Democratic City examines how nonelite individuals politically engage with urban spaces - even when they do not formally own them. Drawing on more than a decade of fieldwork throughout Bologna, Italy, Robin M. LeBlanc presents valuable models of democratic community-making through imaginative occupation, curation, and coalition-building projects, with critical implications for the study of cities and democracy.

Once a standard-bearer of progressive governance, contemporary Bologna now faces globally emergent challenges to its democratic functioning, from a lack of affordable housing to the rise of an authoritarian and xenophobic Far Right. But amid this precarity, everyday citizens employ the spaces around them to influence the political life of the city. Through interviews with a wide range of Bolognese, from urban planners and real estate developers to housing office staff, retirees in public gardening plots, and members of immigrant and youth squatter collectives, LeBlanc illuminates the humble origins of coalitional work that can meaningfully address today's urban economic, environmental, and demographic crises.

Challenging both capitalistic and Marxist conventional wisdom, Proprietors for a Democratic City is a vivid portrait of the urban landscape and an inspiring call to empower regular people to create vibrant democratic spaces.

This book asks what peace means when the state wages war against its own citizens in the name of security in the war on drugs. Set in Rio de Janeiro, a deeply unequal city where life chances are shaped by race, class, gender and neighbourhood, it questions whose peace is protected, and at whose expense. Tracing the historical racialisation, marginalisation and criminalisation of the favelas, the book shows how this has resulted in complex forms of hybrid governance involving criminal groups, police and the state. It conceptualizes urban violence in Rio as a form of performative, necropolitical state war-making, where a discourse of security sustains deadly and inefficient operations in the favelas. In this violent context, the book explores favela peace formation as a grassroots alternative, in which residents construct new forms of nonviolent politics and envision more just and peaceful futures, offering important insights for rethinking and decolonizing peace.

Out for Glamour in Africa critically reflects on how Black women utilized Drum magazine, a leading publication in Africa during the era of independence, for political empowerment and constructing notions of Black femininity. Wanjiru G. Mbure terms the concept of femme urbAfricana, a model of Black femininity depicted as urban, political, fashionable, paradoxically Afrocentric, heteronormative, and transnational. Foregrounding stories of the women who embodied these traits and the social, political, and economic forces that shaped their presence in Drum, Mbure argues that these representations of Black women from Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, and the United States produced a novel form of Black urban femininity. Utilizing a breadth of archival materials from cover girl photographs, advertisements, and columns, to readers' comments, Mbure reveals the complex relationship between the Black urban woman and the era's contested ideals within a transnational matrix.

This book presents an innovative spatial framework for understanding and simulating urban residents' safety perception using street-level imagery and deep learning. Bridging GIScience, environmental criminology, and urban informatics, it explores how micro-scale urban environments shape fear of crime and perceived safety, offering both theoretical insights and practical modeling tools. Leveraging massive Baidu Street View datasets, convolutional neural networks, and spatial regression techniques, this book uncovers how visual features-such as greenery, lighting, cleanliness, and built structure-affect safety perception at fine spatial scales. It further integrates survey data, crime records, and machine learning to simulate perceived safety across neighborhoods. Designed for researchers and professionals in GIS, urban planning, public health, environmental psychology, and smart city development, this book is suitable for advanced students and interdisciplinary scholars seeking new methods in spatial perception modeling.

A critical examination of the digital imagery and visualization tools that mediate urban life

Animated Urbanism explores the ways urban life is increasingly mediated by digital visualization tools, from elaborate marketing productions to specialized techniques of urban planning that rely on the collection of large datasets. By developing a critical vocabulary for these forms of digital imagery, Gillian Rose investigates the implications of using digital technology to manage the spatial and temporal organization of life in cities.

Pushing back against the so-called smartness mandate, which sees urban existence and its infrastructure as necessarily governed by big data, automation, and artificial intelligence, Animated Urbanism is a nuanced examination of the various types of media structuring urban life and their propensity to replicate highly gendered and racialized forms of human embodiment. From smartphone apps to special effects in movies to sophisticated "fly-through" videos of cities created by urban developers, Rose analyzes the corporate imaginaries that are being created, building on the influential theories of Donna Haraway, among others, concerning the interrelation of technology, power, and human life.

While recent digital analysis often focuses on the political economy of tech platforms or the efficacy of data in smart cities, Rose emphasizes the role of human subjectivity in the shifting configurations of these new urban landscapes. With an incisive, feminist approach to the imagery enabled by software and handheld devices, Animated Urbanism invites us to question how human life emerges from these complex entanglements of technology and visual culture.

Based on an ethnographic study of the role and experiences of local businesses, institutions, and community-level actors in Logan Square and Pilsen, two longtime ethnic enclaves experiencing and resisting gentrification in Chicago, Storefront examines local businesses' contributions to communities, how businesses might promote or protest gentrification, and how streetscape transformations can threaten community members' sense of belonging in place. Steven Tuttle untangles issues of community and conflict, segregation and integration, alienation and place attachment, and small business social responsibility from the vantage point of local businesses themselves. In addition to insights about community development, local institutions, and social capital common in qualitative neighborhood studies and gentrification scholarship, Storefront also features a unique focus on local businesses and the racialization of space.

This book investigates the spatial relations between digital media and society, relying on Marshall McLuhan's probes into the effects of communication technology. It argues that McLuhan's ideas may be relevant to understanding how contemporary space, digital media, and society adapt to one another. This aim is pursued in three steps. First, McLuhan's media theory is discussed with a focus on the effects of media in structuring the conditions of space perception at both the individual and the social levels. The concepts of visual and acoustic space are examined in relation to mechanical and electric media, respectively. Second, McLuhan's lifelong interest in the city as a learning environment is contrasted with his claim that cities are obsolete vis-a-vis the global village of instant electronic communication. The contradiction is more apparent than real, as McLuhan imagined a future for cities as programmed environments for the sensory training of citizens and actively engaged in discussions with urban planners and designers. Third, McLuhan's insights are extended beyond his time to make sense of the current relationship between digital media, space, and urban society. The evolution of cyberspace from a virtual realm to its hybridisation with physical space is traced across both literary and scholarly sources. The effects of a hybrid space concept on urban planning and design approaches in the digital age are explored. McLuhan's legacy, with its humanistic breadth, enables an understanding of the present media ecology that moves beyond the efficiency-oriented paradigm of the smart city discourse. The book bridges technological consciousness and social responsibility in the fields of space theory and spatial planning. It targets an audience that is open to interdisciplinary dialogue between science and the humanities to promote sustainable cities and communities.

This book provides a detailed assessment of current smart city technology developments and their applications. It serves as an additional resource for researchers, urban planners, policymakers, and practitioners, showcasing the application of technology in urban environments to promote sustainability, resource efficiency, and livability. The objectives are to provide an analysis of smart systems and technologies adopted in smart cities around the world and to review existing case studies of successful smart city adoption in different parts of the world. Review existing case studies of successful smart city adoption in different parts of the world. To study the potentialities and difficulties accompanying smart city projects. Investigate upcoming smart city technology changes and developments. This book provides real action steps for city planners, politicians, and tech engineers. Future technological innovations strengthen smart city capabilities, making them more adaptable and responsive to their citizens' needs. This edited book delivers extensive research on smart city themes, mapping the theoretical bases and practical usage of these technologies and their prospective pathways. Thanks to its combination of essential theoretical groundwork, practical skills, and progressive outlooks, future readers obtain understanding and capabilities through this book.

The entanglement of Vancouver's infrastructure in settler colonialism and racialized exploitation

Vancouver, Canada, has long been held up as an environmentally conscious coastal refuge and model of progressive urban planning. Unpacking the troubling complexities that lie beneath the city's otherwise tidy self-image, Terminal City reveals the long, recurring patterns of racialized violence and Indigenous dispossession crucial to its formation.

Examining the histories of Vancouver's infrastructures, including railways, ports, the freeway system, fossil-fuel pipelines, and property, Michael Simpson details the various spatial manifestations of settler colonialism and racial capitalism that constitute the city's urban environment-using it as a case study to reveal such tendencies around the world. Simpson exposes how the seizure of Indigenous lands and the destruction of Black communities has been foundational to the development of the city, and he highlights its structural dependency on these violent legacies, as well as the ongoing struggles to dismantle them.

Bringing together theoretical insights from the fields of urban geography, political ecology, and Indigenous studies, Simpson provides a distinctive intervention into contemporary debates around the material basis of logistics and circulation. At a time when massive upheavals to urban infrastructure are taking place in the hopes of establishing greater sustainability, Terminal City raises important questions about how this moment of transition might be harnessed to bring about decolonial abolitionist futures that redefine what a city can become.

Based on more than two decades of ethnographic engagement with the urban margins of Brazil, this book offers unique and detailed insights into the "politics of the periphery". Providing a long-term analysis of the residents of the periphery of the city of Recife and their interactions with state representatives and institutions, it contributes to a better understanding of the politics of marginalized populations around the world. Politics of the Periphery takes theorizing beyond state-oriented and Eurocentric approaches and offers scope to understand politics and the state from the urban margins, from the places where an ever-increasing part of the world's population lives. Critiquing approaches that see politics of marginalized populations as an expression of deficient citizenship, as informal politics, or as protest against the authorities, Martijn Koster shows how the politics of the periphery combines resistance with compliance as well as indifference, intertwining formal procedures and meetings with informal negotiations and exchanges.

This book weaves together political anthropology, urban studies, and development studies as it focuses on two central settings of resident-state relationships: government programs and electoral politics. In these settings, it shows how residents deal with urban development, citizen participation, police action, elections, and forms of clientelism. It highlights how their politics revolves around distrust, trust, betrayal and hope as they struggle to secure their place in the city.

Design Innovation for Climate-Resilient Built Environments offers a multidisciplinary exploration of how the built environment can adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Bringing together perspectives from architecture, urban design, landscape architecture, urban planning, real estate, and construction management, the book adopts an integrated lens that examines innovation across multiple spatial scales, from cities and regions to streets, buildings, and communities. By bridging these disciplines, it challenges the traditional silos that often shape the planning, design, and management of built environments

The book begins from a simple observation: cities and buildings have always been influenced by climate. Long before the language of climate resilience emerged in contemporary policy debates, societies developed spatial strategies to cope with heat, wind, water, and seasonal variability. Drawing from this long history of environmental adaptation, the book asks how design intelligence can guide architecture and urban form in an era of accelerating climate uncertainty.

The first part, "Design Intelligence for Climate-Resilient Architecture and Urban Form," presents resilience as a design mindset shaped by vernacular knowledge, ecological thinking, and contemporary architectural innovation, aiming to create adaptive and responsive built environments. The second part, "Technological, Infrastructural, and Systemic Pathways to Climate Resilience," shifts attention to the systems that enable resilience at scale, exploring how technologies, infrastructures, and planning frameworks support climate-responsive cities. Together, these perspectives position the book as both a conceptual guide and a practical roadmap for advancing climate-resilient design and urban development.

This book is the result of five years' research into the transformative regeneration of East London's Docklands, driven by the London Docklands Development Corporation, established in 1981. Drawing heavily on original primary source research, it tells a story much repeated but previously only partially understood. The book sheds new light on the unlikely emergence of the Canary Wharf development, the local and national politics that enabled it, and the maverick individuals who made it happen. It argues that understanding why and how Canary Wharf and the wider Docklands regeneration came about is crucial for understanding how future regeneration projects may or may not succeed.

Cities have entered a phase where climate change is no longer a distant projection but an immediate design constraint. Flooding, heatwaves, coastal erosion, water scarcity, and ecological degradation now shape how cities must be planned, built, and maintained. Responding to these pressures requires a fundamental rethinking of urban systems. Nature-Based and Climate Responsive Design for Urban Systems explores how ecological design innovations can strengthen urban resilience and liveability while reshaping the relationship between cities and their natural environments.

This book is the third volume of a trilogy examining climate-oriented design innovation in the built environment. While the earlier volumes focus on conceptual frameworks and strategic directions, this volume emphasises practical design approaches that integrate natural systems into urban infrastructure and spatial planning. Its central premise is clear: future cities must work with natural processes rather than attempt to control or resist them. Nature-based solutions, blue-green infrastructure, and climate-responsive design are therefore positioned as core components of contemporary urban systems.

Through a diverse set of global case studies, the book demonstrates how ecological design strategies can address challenges such as flooding, coastal vulnerability, water management, and biodiversity loss. Examples from Nepal, Bangladesh, Vanuatu, Mexico, Madagascar, and other regions across the Pacific and Global South illustrate how nature-based approaches support environmental restoration, strengthen community participation, and enhance urban adaptability.

By linking design practice with interdisciplinary research, the book contributes to the growing discourse on climate-responsive urbanism and offers practical insights for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers working toward more resilient and environmentally integrated urban futures.

In the face of increasing climate disruption, this book provides a design-centered investigation of how cities might adapt, recover, and prosper. It positions resilience not as a technical add-on, but as a fundamentally social, ecological, and spatial practice that must be embedded across scales, from materials and buildings to neighbourhoods, infrastructures, and urban systems.

The chapters show how climatic threats including heat, flooding, water scarcity, and catastrophic shocks are changing our conception of urban space in a variety of worldwide situations. The contributions demonstrate how nature-based solutions, water-sensitive planning, circular construction, and regenerative urbanism are now inextricably linked to resilient design. They also show how new technologies like geographic simulation, XR environments, and digital twins are increasing the designer's ability to foresee unpredictability and test flexible solutions before putting them into practice.

The main issue addressed is evident: urban development practice still has difficulty converting resilience concepts into spatial, material, and community-grounded design activity, even in the face of increased awareness of climate risk. In response, this book compiles experimental techniques, conceptual developments, and empirical research that show how resilience may be operationalized in actual projects and locations. It focuses on transferable tactics that can influence professional practice, education, and policy, such as regenerative neighbourhood models, nature-based drainage, climate-responsive public spaces, and circular recovery.

Resilient by Design ultimately argues that the future of cities depends on re-aligning ecological systems, technological innovation, and social inclusion through design thinking. It provides an interdisciplinary knowledge base and a forward-looking agenda for shaping climate-ready urban environments. The book is intended for researchers, urban designers, architects, planners, landscape architects, and policymakers engaged in climate-resilient and sustainable urban development.

How writers and artists have used city planning strategies to push back against harm

Black queer feminist thinker Audre Lorde famously declared that "the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house." This language is normally understood as a metaphor, but as author Davy Knittle argues in this provocative book, queer and trans activists have long used the tools of city planning and urban design to create written and visual art that critiques those in power and offers points of resilience to their own communities.

A close look at the ways queer and trans writers and artists resisted predatory redevelopment in New York City from 1950 to 2020, Urbanist Desire draws on the work of James Schuyler, June Jordan, David Wojnarowicz, Julian Talamantez Brolaski, and Zeyn Joukhadar, exploring how they intervened in major political flashpoints like the War on Poverty, the AIDS-era housing crisis, and gentrification in Brooklyn and Queens. Presenting a new cultural history of New York City, Knittle explains how urban change and the more-than-human life of cities have been foundational concerns for queer and trans cultural production since the 1950s.

Ending with analysis of the 2022 speculative novel Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune, 2052-2072, Urbanist Desire looks to the past to imagine a better future for New York City and for all marginalized people. Knittle demonstrates how to move past a recuperative response to harm and toward one that can change the structure of society by documenting how queer and trans activists have engaged the strategies of planning and design to address spatial, social, and economic inequality.

A pathbreaking study of the role space and place play in theological thought

What does Christian theology have to do with place? How does theology influence the spaces and places in which we live? How does theology do geography?

In Theology in Place, L. Patrick Burrows develops a framework for the interpretation of the Christian theologies that form and are formed by human practices of place, drawing on theology, geography, and feminist, queer, and critical race studies for the analysis of places, from the perspectives of experience, moral geography, and "weak" theology. He then uses this method to take up a series case studies of lived spaces of Southern religion to show the importance of thinking place in theology: the centrality of bodily communion between living and dead in Decoration Day in the Southern Appalachians; postcolonial "demonic" theology as the basis of spatial-spiritual ability surrounding the urban "renewed" Black neighborhood of Hayti in Durham, North Carolina; the role of heresiology in the construction of the historical and contemporary "imagined South" as the moral ubi of American social reflection; and the relationship between artifice, camp, and mysticism in the complex religious attachments - queer and evangelical - at Dollywood.

Theology in Place shows the necessity and promise of taking place seriously in the study of Christian theology, ethics, and practice. This research contributes to a growing literature on theology, space, place, and the built environment through its focus on race and the American South, especially by drawing on sources that have not previously been a part of these discussions, particularly from feminist, queer, and Black studies.

Reinventing the Chinese City: Urban Regeneration and Governance in Transition delves into the intricate relationships between space and society within the context of China's rescaled urban regeneration. It seeks to uncover and critically examine pivotal aspects of these dynamics. Through a comprehensive, cross-sectoral, and multi-scalar approach, the book advances an understanding of socioeconomic differentiations, multifaceted relations, institutional systems, administrative structures, and lived experiences tied to urban regeneration.

This study offers a compelling exploration of the social and economic innovations driving urban regeneration in China's evolving political and policy landscape. It examines the transformative changes reshaping society, culture, economy, and space, highlighting how these dynamics differ from earlier redevelopment strategies in terms of spatial patterns, economic impacts, and societal consequences. As social and economic conditions shift, the book delves into the complexities of socio-spatial relations, uncovering emerging challenges, conflicts, and priorities, while also shedding light on the growing influence of entrepreneurialism and the state's expanding role in urban governance.

This book is an essential resource for scholars in urban studies, geography, planning, and development studies, particularly those interested in China's urbanization, heritage, conservation, and environmental challenges. Graduate students and planning practitioners will also find it invaluable for understanding the complexities of urban development and governance in China.

This volume offers a first comprehensive geography of peninsulas, in which 'almost islands' serve as windows onto how peninsularity shapes politics, identity, nation-building and engineering ambitions.

Like other geographies, peninsulas influence, but never dictate, human choices. Nineteen chapters, spanning multiple scales and disciplines, interrogate three interlocking themes: the internal divisions within peninsulas; the tensions across their isthmuses; and the engineering and political imagination that isthmuses provoke. The result is a theoretically grounded yet empirically diverse collection of works that will equip students and scholars with fresh tools for understanding how land, water and borders shape identity, territorial transformations, governance and power.

Written primarily for students and scholars of geography, geopolitics and international relations, it will also appeal to those working in political science, anthropology, history and island studies. Its global reach and accessible writing make it equally relevant to the intellectually curious general reader drawn to questions about place, identity and borders.

This timely book problematises growing structural housing unaffordability and the lack of affordable housing across the advanced economic world. It offers both a historically and geographically sensitive critique of why we face these issues and struggle to adequately respond, and informed speculation towards addressing this crisis collectively, equitably, and longitudinally.

Utilising a 'Critical-Relational Political Economy' approach, the unaffordability dilemma is linked to converging patterns of cumulative neoliberalising and globalising developments during intense capitalist expansion from the 1970s onwards. Housing unaffordability is not explained by regulatory and planning failures but by a growth model transformation under de-industrialisation, away from labour-inclusive capitalism to city-centric, private landed property-directed political economies. Whereas residential accumulation is characterised by inflationary tendencies, households' capacity to pay for housing largely follows deflationary dynamics. The consequence is politically stimulated, institutionally mediated, and structurally variegated housing-labour decoupling on now epic proportions.

This book will be essential reading for informed audiences interested in housing, spatial planning, economic development, and political economies, as well as questions of social, spatial, and inter-generational justice. Besides researchers, policymakers, and advocates, it will be postgraduate and undergraduate students who will benefit most from compelling crisis (re)framing and original rethinking of affordable futures for people and places.
