〔英訳〕J.-L.ナンシー著 遠くの都市
Nancy, Jean-Luc,
The City in the Distance. Tr. by C. Stockwell. 160 pp. 2024:10 (Fordham U. Pr., US) <728-84>

Exploring the ever-changing philosophy of city life with Jean-Luc Nancy In The City in the Distance, Jean-Luc Nancy embarks on nothing less than a philosophy of the city. Drawing on his widely discussed accounts of sense and of the fraught question of community, Nancy views the city as the site of a disposition that is constantly undergoing metamorphoses. Far from an abstract account, Nancy attends in the most concrete way possible to the workings of a city not typically taken as paradigmatic, Los Angeles. As Jean-Christophe Bailly suggests in his foreword, Nancy joins Walter Benjamin in thinking the city not from an external vantage point, but on its own terms.

都市と憲法-カナダの地方政府に必要とする権力を与える
Flynn, Alexandra / Albert, Richard / Des Rosiers, N. (eds.),
Cities and the Constitution: Giving Local Governments in Canada the Power They Need. (McGill-Queen's Studies in Urban Governance) 264 pp. 2024:10 (McGill-Queen's U. Pr., CN) <728-551>
ISBN 978-0-228-02207-7 paper ¥9,095.- (税込) US$ 39.95
Canada's largest cities have faced exponential growth, with the trajectory rising further still. Due to their high density, cities are the primary sites for opportunities in economic prosperity, green innovation, and cultural activity, and also for critical challenges in homelessness and extreme poverty, air pollution, Indigenous-municipal relationship-building, racial injustice, and transportation gridlock. While city governments are at the forefront of mitigating the challenges of urban life, they are given insufficient power to effectively attend to public needs.Cities and the Constitution confronts the misalignment between the importance of municipalities and their constitutional status. While our constitution is often considered a living document, Canada has one of the most complicated amending formulas in the world, making change very difficult. Cities are thus constitutionally vulnerable to unilateral provincial action and reliant on other levels of government for funding. Could municipal power be reimagined without disrupting the existing constitutional structure, or could the Constitution be reformed to designate cities a distinct tier of government? Among other novel proposals, this groundbreaking volume explores the idea of recognizing municipalities in provincial constitutions.The first volume of a complementary pair, authored by renowned Canadian legal and urban studies scholars, Cities and the Constitution suggests contemporary solutions to one of our most pressing policy dilemmas.

Urban Mobility: How the iPhone, COVID, and Climate Changed Everything. 320 pp. 2024:11 (U. Toronto Pr., CN) * paper 2024:10 <728-1189>
ISBN 978-1-4875-5059-2 hard ¥21,631.- (税込) US$ 95.00

Urban Mobility sheds light on mobility in twenty-first-century Canadian cities. The book explores the profound changes associated with technological innovation, pandemic-induced impacts on travel behaviour, and the urgent need for mobility to respond meaningfully to the climate crisis. Featuring contributions from leading Canadian and American scholars and researchers, this edited collection traverses disciplines including geography, engineering, management, policy studies, political science, and urban planning. Chapters illuminate novel research findings related to a variety of modes of mobility, including public transit, e-scooters, bike-sharing, ride-hailing, and autonomous vehicles. Contributors draw out the connections between urban challenges, technological change, societal need, and governance mechanisms. The collection demonstrates why the smart phone, COVID-19, and climate present a crucial lens through which we can understand the present and future of urban mobility. The way we move in cities has been disrupted and altered because of technological innovation, the lingering impacts of COVID-19, and efforts to reduce transport-related emissions. Urban Mobility concludes that the path forward requires good public policy from all levels of government, working in partnership with the private sector and non-profits to direct and address the best urban mobility framework for Canadian cities.

Corkin, Stanley,
Boston Mass-Mediated: Urban Space and Culture in the Digital Age. 280 pp. 2024:9 (U. Massachusetts Pr., US) <728-1191>
ISBN 978-1-62534-825-8 hard ¥22,542.- (税込) US$ 99.00
ISBN 978-1-62534-824-1 paper ¥7,502.- (税込) US$ 32.95
In the mid-nineteenth century, Boston fashioned itself as a global hub. By the early 1970s, it was barely a dot on the national picture. It had gained a reputation as a decaying city rife with crime and dysfunctional politics, as well as decidedly retrograde race relations, prominently exemplified by white resistance to school integration. Despite this historical ebb in its national and international presence, it still possessed the infrastructure-superb educational institutions such as Harvard and MIT, world-class sports teams like the Celtics and Red Sox, powerful media outlets like The Boston Globe, and extensive shipping capacity-required to eventually thrive in an age of global trade and mass communication. In Boston Mass-Mediated, Stanley Corkin explores the power of mass media to define a place. He examines the tensions between the emergent and prosperous city of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries and its representation in a range of media genres such as news journalism, professional sports broadcasting, and popular films like Mystic River and The Departed. This mass media, with its ever-increasing digital reach, has emphasized a city restricted by tropes suggestive of an earlier Boston-racism, white ethnic crime, Catholicism, and a pre-modern insularity-even as it becomes increasingly international and multicultural. These tropes mediate our understanding and experience of the city. Using Boston as a case study, Corkin contends that our contemporary sense of place occurs through a media saturated world, a world created by the explosion of digital technology that is steeped in preconceptions.

Ellsworth, Lynn,
Wonder City: How to Reclaim Human-Scale Urban Life. 384 pp. 2024:12 (Empire State Editions, US) <728-1193>
ISBN 978-1-5315-0818-0 hard ¥7,957.- (税込) US$ 34.95
Reimagining our cities for a sustainable and human-centric future In her groundbreaking book Wonder City, Lynn Ellsworth delves deep into the heart of modern urban life, casting a critical eye on the transformative changes sweeping through cities like New York. This compelling journey into the world of urban development goes beyond the usual narrative, serving as a passionate call to action that encourages readers to actively participate in shaping the future of their cities. Ellsworth expertly navigates through complex themes such as affordable housing, urban planning, historic preservation, and architecture. With a focus on major cities undergoing significant transformations, Wonder City offers an insightful examination of the challenges and opportunities that define contemporary urban life. At the core of this engaging narrative is a striking critique of the real estate industry's influence over urban landscapes. Ellsworth reveals how historic and culturally rich urban settings are increasingly being overshadowed by the rise of impersonal glass towers, a trend she argues is driven by the industry's grip on politicians and technocrats. This analysis is both eye-opening and unsettling, shedding light on the forces reshaping our urban environments. Wonder City is more than a critique, however. Ellsworth provides a pragmatic blueprint for revitalizing urban spaces. She champions the need for affordable housing, sustainable urban planning, and architecture that respects and enhances the human experience. Her arguments challenge the prevailing economic theories behind housing supply and question the architectural ideologies that often justify the demolition of historic urban assets. This book is an essential read for urban planners, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of urban living. Ellsworth's clear, accessible insights into complex issues make Wonder City a vital contribution to the discourse on urban development, appealing to a broad audience that cares about the dynamics and future of city life.

カナダの都市の過去、現在、未来
Flynn, Alexandra / Albert, Richard / Des Rosiers, N. (eds.),
The Past, Present, and Future of Canadian Cities: Where the Law Went Wrong and How We Can Fix It. (McGill-Queen's Studies in Urban Governance) 312 pp. 2024:10 (McGill-Queen's U. Pr., CN) <728-1195>
ISBN 978-0-228-02232-9 paper ¥9,095.- (税込) US$ 39.95
In 1861, just a few years before Confederation, 84 per cent of Canadians lived in rural areas; today, it's less than 20 per cent. Our municipal governments are asked to do more for their citizens than ever before, yet they must confront myriad challenges - from the public health pandemic to the housing crisis - without the tools they need. They have no constitutional protection from jurisdictional overstepping by provincial governments and no assurance that they will be able to complete any effort they undertake.The Past, Present, and Future of Canadian Cities explores the historical functions of municipalities, their current ability to tackle major problems, and what the future holds for shifting legal and political powers. This volume examines how pre-Confederation cities came to have their current constitutional and legislative forms; how current local governments make decisions within existing legal parameters, highlighting Indigenous-municipal relationships and emergency management; and, finally, looks to the world to investigate future innovation in municipal governance.The Past, Present, and Future of Canadian Cities makes the case that constitutional concepts must be repurposed to support the transition from nation-building to city-building in a global context.

Gilmartin, Mary / Hubbard, Phil / Kitchin, R. et al. (eds.),
Key Thinkers on Space and Place. 3rd ed. 528 pp. 2024:5 (Sage, UK) <728-1196>

Space and place are at the heart of how geographers and sociologists think. This updated edition of the essential undergraduate text will introduce you to the most influential thinkers in the tradition of social theory, with a new focus on the past fifty years. This book is designed to engage with theoretical debates in human geography through the individuals who have made the most significant contributions to this field. This will show you how ideas are shaped by contexts, and how those ideas in turn effect change. This book shows how theoretical understandings evolve, shift and change. It also highlights the connections between different thinkers, whose ideas are developed in collaboration with or in reaction to others. Spatial thought is never developed in a vacuum, but is always constructed by individuals and groups of people located in particular institutional and social structures, with their own sets of personal and political beliefs. The biographical approach of this book reveals how individual thinkers draw on a rich legacy of ideas from past and contemporary generations. With increased coverage of international and female thinkers, as well as those who work against Eurocentric notions of space and place, this book reveals the exciting reorientation of Geography towards new ideas and methods in the last decade. Each entry contextualises its subject within on-going (inter)disciplinary debates and important political moments, as well as highlighting connections between different thinkers. Together the chapters uncover the rich and diverse evolution of social theory, equipping you with the foundational ideas of geographical thought. Each entry offers the following components: i) a short biography ii) an explanation of ideas iii) an exploration of how their ideas have been used and critiqued iv) a selective bibliography of key publications (and key publications which review or critique)

Good, Kristin R. / Nelles, Jen (eds.),
Canadian Urban Governance in Comparative Perspective. 576 pp. 2024:10 (U. Toronto Pr., CN) <728-1197>
ISBN 978-1-4426-3496-1 hard ¥36,432.- (税込) US$ 160.00

What does a comparative approach add to our understanding of Canadian municipal government, city governance, and municipal policy-making? Canadian Urban Governance in Comparative Perspective brings together experts in the field to situate Canada within global debates about the place of municipalities in democratic constitutions and systems of (multi-level) governance. The contributors offer a comprehensive coverage of Canadian municipal government and governance. The book explores the conceptual and institutional foundations of Canadian municipal systems by placing them in comparative perspective; highlights seminal works by Canadian scholars to show how comparison adds to our understanding of municipal institutions and city governance; and conceptualizes the place of municipal governments in Canada's multi-level system. It analyzes comparisons of major elements of municipal systems and examines some of the most important urban and global policy challenges of our time, including the politics of growth and development, climate change, immigrant settlement, addressing racism, municipal-Indigenous relations, and tackling poverty and social polarization. Ultimately, the book invites readers to reflect upon and assess the extent to which Canada's current municipal systems are up to the task of contributing to effective and equitable responses to contemporary urban challenges and to enriching democratic life in Canada.

McDaniel, Paul N. / Rodriguez, Darlene Xiomara (eds.),
Integration and Receptivity in Immigrant Gateway Metro Regions in the United States. 346 pp. 2024:8 (Lexington Books, US) <728-1199>
ISBN 978-1-66695-578-1 hard ¥29,601.- (税込) US$ 130.00
Despite the velocity and scale of the cumulative changes of immigrant integration and receptivity infrastructures in fast growing regions of the United States, less research has focused on the new and evolving experiences in these regions in recent years. Editors Paul N. McDaniel and Darlene Xiomara Rodriguez and the contributors in Integration and Receptivity in Immigrant Gateway Metro Regions in the United States fill this gap through case studies of different types of immigrant gateway metro areas. They provide insight into how immigrant settlement, integration, and receptivity processes and practices within each metro area have continued to evolve beyond the nascent experiences documented in the early 2000s. This interdisciplinary volume examines ongoing processes in not only well-established immigrant gateways, but also in previously overlooked regions. This book is a resource for researchers, students, and practitioners to contextualize the ongoing changes in new destination metropolitan regions in the United States and to learn from the challenges, opportunities, and best practices emerging from different metropolitan regional contexts.
