Community control can be a powerful means of limiting the injustices of gentrification and allowing more socially just regeneration to take place. The book is about how we can make and retain places and community assets for people, rather than for capital, and the real-world policy interventions needed to achieve this.

Setting out the successes and failures of community-led regeneration, the book offers case studies from Bristol and Glasgow - two cities which are home to social inequalities but also a strong tradition of community activism - as well as narratives from community enterprises across England and Scotland. Alice Earley makes the case for more funding and support for community enterprises so that they can realise their potential contribution to regeneration.

The threat of losing a home can have profound consequences for personal health and wellbeing, yet little is known about how occupiers experience the repossession process. Many of those affected are not able to engage effectively with this process, which raises serious concerns about access to justice in housing cases.

Addressing an under-researched area, this book explores access to justice in housing possession cases by combining the perspectives of occupiers whose homes are at risk with a detailed analysis of the law, policy and practice of housing possession.

It puts the voices of occupiers at the centre of its exploration, drawing on first-hand accounts to identify barriers to advice and representation, their impact on possession outcomes and the measures needed to strengthen access to justice for households at risk of eviction.

This book addresses that gap by developing an integrated and operational framework for advancing urban resilience. Drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives from sustainability science, planning, and governance, it conceptualizes resilience as a dynamic process of absorption, adaptation, and transformation. Through multi-scalar empirical research and interdisciplinary analysis, it demonstrates how urban resilience can be translated from theory into assessment, planning, and governance practice.

By linking conceptual development, resilience assessment, spatial planning, and adaptive governance, the book offers a coherent perspective on how resilience can be understood, operationalized, and strengthened under conditions of uncertainty and rapid urban change. It offers valuable insights for researchers, graduate students, planners, policymakers, and practitioners working toward more adaptive, inclusive, and sustainable urban futures.

Young parenthood cannot be understood without attention to housing. Where young parents live, and the support available to them, shapes how care is organised, relationships are sustained and homes are made. And yet, young parenthood is too often viewed through a lens of deficit, obscuring how parenting takes place within unequal housing, welfare and family contexts.

Drawing on qualitative longitudinal research with low-income young mothers and fathers, this book examines how young people enter parenthood, navigate relationships and housing pathways, and create homes for their children. Bringing together youth transitions, housing studies, family practices and gender, it develops a relational account of young parenthood, demonstrating how housing can provide a secure base for parenting.

Empirically rich and policy relevant, this is a must-read for scholars, students, policy makers and practitioners interested in young parenthood, housing, family life, youth transitions and inequalities.

Introduction to Cultural Geography makes the case for why thinking geographically about culture matters. Across its chapters, the book examines how cultural geographers have approached the relationship between geography and culture through topics from house floor plans and international migration to colonialism and digital geographies.

The book’s first section develops a conceptual framework for studying cultural geography and its key concepts. From there, its chapters look at how and where people make and claim place across four spheres of our everyday lives: dwelling, moving, working, and playing. The book’s final section addresses debates around materialities, assemblages, and artificial intelligence. Each chapter pairs theoretical engagement with concrete examples that enable readers to apply key concepts to the world around them.

Introduction to Cultural Geography:

• Features topics that resonate with students today, including artificial intelligence, social media, and contemporary cultural politics
• Presents complex ideas, theories and concepts in an accessible form
• Covers a wide range of themes such as tourism, memory and heritage, social movements, and pop culture with both historical and contemporary case studies

Written with multiple audiences in mind, Introduction to Cultural Geography is a great resource for instructors and scholars seeking a current survey of theoretical debates and a compelling way to help students understand the world around them. Written for both students who are new to cultural geography and scholars already familiar with the field, this book is an essential read for all human geographers.

Urban planning has moved online, transforming community engagement into a digital process-but this shift has opened the door to disruption. Automated social media accounts, or bots, now infiltrate forums, surveys and virtual meetings, skewing debates and disrupting development projects.

This book investigates the scale and impact of bot interference in US planning, tracing its roots in digital participation and the early use of AI. Through case studies, theoretical insights and the introduction of an Online Conversion Framework, it offers practical strategies for cities to safeguard democratic planning. It is essential reading for urban planners, policy makers and anyone concerned with technology's influence on civic life.

This Open Access book?explores the concept of the open city, examining its theoretical foundations, normative implications, and real-world practices in contemporary urban planning.

The chapters move from conceptual debates on openness and empirical cases, investigating how cities address key challenges such as democracy, freedom, inclusion, creativity, learning, governance, and urban change. Contributors examine tensions between order and disorder, openness and closure, and ask who benefits from urban transformation and under what conditions. By connecting urban theory with planning practice, the volume offers a critical yet accessible reflection on the future of cities.

Developed through the work of the Thematic Group “Ethics, Values and Planning” of the Association of European Schools of Planning, this book provides an essential resource for scholars, practitioners, and students interested in open cities, urban governance, democratic planning, and institutional design.

This handbook explores Japanese architecture and the built environment from diverse disciplinary and methodological perspectives, tracing the influences that have shaped modern Japanese architecture and urbanism.

Divided into four thematic parts-translations, materializations, meditations, and characterizations-the handbook takes the reader on a stroll through developments of Japanese architecture and the transnational exchanges that have shaped conceptions and production of Japanese architecture. It examines translations of domestic and international ideas and evolving building cultures. The book also considers the media through which Japanese architecture is formulated and disseminated, and the discursive constructions that operate in dialogue with built constructions.

This book will be a valuable resource to students and scholars of Japanese, Asian, and Modern Architecture.

Foodscapes can be understood as a synthesizing overview of the production, transport, processing and consumption of food as well as the handling of food waste from a spatial perspective. The synthesizing approach becomes clear from the second part of the word '-scapes'. This makes foodscapes research compatible with the theories, concepts and methods of landscape research. At the same time, it draws on the research tradition of food geography. This intersection results in a multi-perspective approach that ranges from phenomenological experience to system-theoretical abstractions and the evaluation of spatial frequency distributions. In recent years, studies have diversified both thematically and theoretically: Classical-positivist approaches have increasingly been supplemented by constructivist approaches. Our anthology "Landscapes - Foods - Foodscapes. Relationships between space and food from an interdisciplinary perspective" aims to illustrate the diversity of current research on the topic of foodscapes. This concerns not only the diversity of theoretical approaches or methodological approaches, but also different levels of scale, from regional to global. It also concerns different approaches to the topic, whether empirical or conceptual, as well as aspects of production, transportation, processing, consumption and the handling of food waste. There is a wide range of specialist approaches, from geography, sociology, ethnology, anthropology, spatial planning, economics, philosophy, political science, but also technical science and law.

This book examines how stakeholder theory can inform urban governance in an era of rapid change, sustainability challenges and digital innovation. Combining theoretical and practical insights, it explores how power dynamics, engagement strategies and decision-making processes shape modern cities.

Including engaging international case studies, the text highlights the importance of collaboration, transparency and inclusivity in building resilient urban communities. It challenges traditional governance models, advocating for integrative approaches that empower diverse stakeholders and strengthen democratic values. Designed as a roadmap for scholars, policy makers and planners, this book will empower local communities in their pursuit of sustainable and equitable cities.

This volume incorporates a large amount of research focused primarily on urban planning and oriented mainly at the architectural and building scale. It highlight emerging researches that emphasizes the importance of developing integrated concepts of art and culture in the design of urban and architectural landscapes for sustainable development. Through the research presented, the concept of reinventing the built environment is emphasized through emerging trends and field experiences, highlighting changes and illustrating methods and tools for renewed architectural design. In detail, the contributions have been collected with the aim of illustrating examples and case studies that can suggest new approaches, the use of innovative tools and emerging theories for sustainable design and management of the built environment that is increasingly attentive to the prospects of carbon neutral urban cities.

The book is an important guide for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers. By providing a comprehensive and coherent framework for sustainability, the book will empower readers to contribute meaningfully to global efforts for a more sustainable and resilient urban future.

This book challenges the city-centered view of Europe by highlighting the importance of suburbs and peripheries, where millions live. It argues that Europe has long been shaped by suburbanization, which, since World War II, is closely linked to international immigration.

Through historical and geographical analysis, A Continent of Suburbs explores the diversity of suburban models across Europe and expands the ‘post-suburban’ concept to reflect blurred boundaries and evolving definitions. Social geographer Yannis Tzaninis and sociologist Lorenzo De Vidovich bring their expertise together to study the intersections of these disciplines. Case studies from the Amsterdam and Milan regions illustrate how demographic shifts, mobility, economic change, and land development have created new forms of suburban life. By connecting immigration and suburbanization to broader urban histories, the book offers fresh insights for urban studies, geography, planning, and European studies, and invites readers to see Europe’s peripheries as central to understanding the continent’s development and future.

This book presents a powerful ethical statement for the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into urban environments, challenging technocratic assumptions by grounding smart city innovation in the principles of fairness, transparency, accountability, sustainability, and privacy. It establishes that intelligent urban systems cannot merely optimize performance?they must be morally legible, socially just, and legally compliant. The book argues that the city of the future must be governed not just by data, but by dignity, not just by efficiency, but by equity. The discussion begins by tackling the structural problem of algorithmic bias in urban AI systems, particularly in predictive policing, public service allocation, and transport optimization. Through a mathematically rigorous framework that includes Adversarial Debiasing, Fairness-Constrained Optimization, and Fairness-Aware Reinforcement Learning, the book introduces adaptive models that correct historical inequalities without compromising performance.

Apartment City investigates the high-rise apartment boom that took place in post-war Toronto. After 1950, pro-growth politicians and business interests undertook a large-scale program of private rental apartment construction. By the end of the 1960s, an increasingly consolidated development industry had replaced a number of low-rise neighbourhoods with a radically different form of housing: high-rise apartment towers using modernist designs. The apartment boom had a major impact on the city’s built form, planning system, housing market, and property rights.

Urban planning expert Paul Hess and historical geographer Robert Lewis argue that the apartment boom was the product of an institutional fix that worked to adjust property rights using tools such as zoning, construction finance, and planning oversight. Politicians and developers sought to achieve political and economic value from apartment projects using the twinned narratives of redevelopment and decay. Apartments became the focal point of an active ratepayer politics as residents fought developers looking to build apartments, many in middle-class areas of low-rise houses. Despite this resistance, pro-growth actors successfully redeveloped these neighbourhoods into high-rise apartment districts that became home to young professionals and the elderly.

In the process, Toronto was transformed from a small, parochial city in 1945 to the centre of a vibrant metropolis by the 1970s.

How to Build a River, through photographs and incisive, contextualizing essays, ventures behind the construction hoardings of the Port Lands Flood Protection project to reveal the transformation of hundreds of acres of polluted brownfields into a new public park, a new river and a site for future housing.

Awarded to photographers Vid Ingelevics and Ryan Walker in 2019, the commission resulted in an illuminating series of photographs that explore key themes and historical contexts of this legacy-building endeavour. Central to this project was the construction of a new wider, naturalized mouth for the Don River as well as a new public park on this former brownfield site. Additionally, the photographs explore the necessary demolition of many existing industrial buildings, the involvement of First Nations, the excavation of the new river valley and the complex bio-engineering techniques involved, archeological discoveries during the excavation, the re-naturalization of the site and, most recently, the opening of a significant section of Biidaasige Park to the public in July 2025.

The photographs and accompanying essays invite readers to look closely at how cities can be reimagined in response to a changing climate. They reveal the social, historical, and environmental stories behind this landmark transformation of Toronto’s waterfront and contemplate the importance of documenting publicly funded projects of this scale.
