Rather than treating resilience as a uniform paradigm, Brdulak explores its plurality, demonstrating how diverse pathways strengthen urban resilience in context-specific situations. Chapters draw on rich qualitative research to illustrate how different cultures of governance shape the ways urban green spaces are designed, managed and used. By applying management theory to urban governance, this book adopts a novel perspective on organising cross-sector collaboration for greener, fairer and more adaptable urban futures.

Accessible and illuminating, Managing Urban Green Spaces for Resilience is an excellent resource for scholars and students of urban environmental governance, planning and public management. City managers and public policymakers will likewise benefit from its practical and strategic approach to supporting green transformation.

Public Space, Peace, and Everyday Life delves into the intricate relationships between public spaces, peace, and the rhythms of daily life. The book explores how peace is actively constructed in public spaces through the dynamics of place, community, and environment. Framed by the entry points of comfort, negotiation, and co-existence, it offers a compelling lens to understand the transformative potential of public spaces in fostering peaceful interactions.

Providing a rich theoretical foundation and post-humanist methodologies to conceptualise the interplay between everyday life and public spaces, the book spans a wide range of disciplines, including urban studies, urban design, urban planning, human geography, urban sociology, anthropology, and urban ecology. This approach is examined through case studies from Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas, to explain how peace is contextually embedded and constructed across diverse spatio-temporal scales. Readers will gain insights into frameworks for understanding public spaces, methodologies for exploring their dynamics, and reflections that bridge activism, research, and practice.

This book will be of interest to scholars and professionals in urban studies, human geography, sociology, and anthropology, as well as urban planners, designers, and ecologists. By providing spaces that allow users in their everyday lives to move towards co-presence, collaboration and co-dependence, peace would emerge on an ongoing basis. By offering a multidisciplinary perspective, it equips readers with tools to critically engage with the role of public spaces in shaping peaceful and hopeful futures.

Cities are designed for order, but lived through improvisation. Contemporary cities are increasingly designed for control, efficiency, and safety, yet everyday urban life continues to exceed these intentions. This book explores how temporary appropriation-the spontaneous and informal use of public space-reveals how people actively shape their environments in ways that support health, diversity, and social interaction.

Bringing together urban design, public health, and social theory, the book advances the concept of temporary appropriation as a fundamental mechanism through which urban life is produced and negotiated. Through international case studies and interdisciplinary analysis, it demonstrates how everyday practices such as play, social gathering, and informal adaptation contribute to physical, mental, and social wellbeing. Moving beyond conventional approaches to placemaking and design, the book introduces the notion of performative healthscapes, showing how health is not simply provided by infrastructure, but emerges through lived spatial practices. It also critically addresses issues of regulation, inclusion, and embodied diversity, highlighting the uneven capacity to appropriate space across different groups.

This book will be of interest to scholars and students in urban design, planning, and urban health, as well as practitioners and policymakers concerned with creating more inclusive and adaptable public spaces.

Urban Dynamics in Africa explores how African cities are being transformed and how that change can be understood through diverse methods and perspectives. Bringing together contributions from across the continent, this book examines urban transformation as a complex process that is at once spatial, social, environmental, and political.

Understanding African urban change requires not only technical tools and data but also attention to local knowledge, governance, and everyday lived experience. The chapters address key issues including urban sprawl, mobility in informal settlements, thermal comfort and climate vulnerability, and community-led placemaking, drawing on a wide range of methods such as geospatial analysis, participatory mapping, environmental monitoring, and qualitative research. Featuring case studies from Ghana, Namibia, Mozambique, and South Africa, this volume highlights both the diversity of African urban realities and the shared challenges of building more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable cities.

Accessible yet grounded in current research, this book will be of interest to scholars, students, practitioners, and policymakers concerned with urban change in Africa and with the wider question of how cities can be shaped more equitably in a rapidly urbanising world. The chapters were originally published in African Geographical Review.

The chapters illustrate how older people negotiate urban change, highlighting inequalities which can limit access to the benefits of urban neighbourhoods, and demonstrate how individuals employ strategies of resistance to overcome challenges. The book makes the case for a new generation of community studies focusing on the impact of changing lifestyles at local as well as at societal levels.

Rethinking Community is a vital resource for scholars and students in the social sciences and related disciplines, including sociology, social gerontology, geography, social anthropology and urban studies. Professionals in urban planning and architecture alongside voluntary and third sector workers in social policy and social work will also benefit from its many practical insights.

The Dialogues in Urban and Regional Planning series offers selected contributions from scholars in urban and regional planning from around the world with internationally recognised authors taking up pressing issues from theory, education for, and practice of planning.

This 8th volume features contributions on the theme, Dialogues in Planning for Climate Change: Enduring Challenges and Transformative Pathways, and explores how spatial planning can support adaptation measures to build resilience, mitigate impacts on communities, and improve climate change education for future practitioners. Chapters critically examine the dilemmas faced by societies, such as the trade-offs between reducing greenhouse gas emissions (mitigation) and adaptation efforts, as well as the disproportionate effects of climate change on disadvantaged communities. Practice-based case studies provide illustrative examples of these challenges, highlighting the uneven engagement of planners with climate change and the context-dependent nature of planning. For instance, the stark threats to human settlements differ significantly between regions like Northern Europe and Australia, yet there are opportunities for cross-regional learning. Issues such as climate-induced droughts and fires affect areas like the Southwest USA, Australia, and Southern Europe, while sea level rise impacts coastal cities worldwide.

The volume is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate studies in urban and regional planning, political studies, governance, urban development, and human geography.

The Dialogues in Urban and Regional Planning (DURP) series is published in association with the Global Planning Education Association Network (GPEAN) and its national and transnational planning schools' associations members.

This innovative Research Agenda critically engages with the concept of cultural political economy to explain socio-economic development across different contexts. Emphasizing the role of space, place and scale, an international range of leading experts from multiple social science disciplines apply aspects of cultural political economy to a broad range of research areas.

Drawing from and expanding on a variety of cultural political economy approaches, the Research Agenda explores progressive ways to think about the economy-society-nature nexus. The chapters outline the lifeworlds, semiotic worlds and material worlds constituting economic geographies and demonstrate the connections between discourse, circuits of capital and materialities. The contributors address key themes including global production networks, labour, migration, alternative food imaginaries, global development initiatives, green economy,resource geographies and cultural political ecology, looking ahead to future areas of inquiry in these fields.

A Research Agenda for Cultural Political Economies of Space is a key resource for scholars and students of human geography, business and management, sociology and politics, particularly those with an interest in political economy. The transdisciplinary nature of the approach means these insights will be valuable to researchers across the social sciences.

Bringing together perspectives from the Global North and South, contributors explore how migrants, from marginalized newcomers to highly skilled professionals, reshape neighborhoods, labor markets, institutions, and political life. They also examine the impact of the history and structure of cities on how migrants settle, access opportunities, and experience belonging or exclusion. Chapters address topics from housing and work to culture, governance, and climate mobility. The Handbook emphasizes that cities are not neutral backdrops but dynamic socio-spatial arenas where rights, resources, and inequalities are organized and contested.

The Handbook on Migration and Cities is a vital resource for scholars and students of human geography, sociology, migration, and urban studies, especially those seeking a comprehensive overview of the migration-city nexus. Practitioners and policy makers working on immigrant integration and urban migration governance will also find great value in its comparative insights.

Focusing on Hong Kong's Tenants Purchase Scheme, this book examines the implications of transforming public tenants into homeowners, particularly in terms of creating properties that are marketable, financeable, and conducive to upward mobility.

It argues that the hidden value embedded in public housing stems from security, predictable charges, and access to public services. However, the privatisation of housing does not always translate seamlessly into market dynamics-whether owners can sell their homes depends on factors such as resale regulations, valuation practices, mortgage accessibility, and eligibility criteria. Combining theory, institutional analysis, and original empirical evidence, the book explains why Hong Kong's resale market for privatised public housing has remained thin and difficult to access. The argument is further enriched through comparative analysis with the United Kingdom's Right to Buy programme and Singapore's Housing and Development Board resale system. Spanning decades of housing reform, the book explores how governments can promote homeownership while preserving mobility and public value, offering a valuable resource for advancing housing policy.

This book will appeal to scholars and policymakers working in housing policy, public administration, and real estate economics.

Beyond Smart Housing: Bridging Culture, Technology, and Community introduces a holistic understanding of smart living that values both efficiency and empathy, repositioning the idea of smart housing within a human-centered, culturally grounded, and socially aware framework.

In recent decades, the notion of "smart housing" has evolved into a dominant paradigm within architecture, planning, and urban innovation. Yet, much of this discourse remains narrowly focused on technological efficiency, automation, and energy optimization. This book challenges this limited view by exploring the deeper layers of what it truly means for a home, and by extension, a community, to be "smart." It argues that genuine intelligence in housing cannot be reduced to devices, data, or digital connectivity alone, but must also encompass cultural meaning, social interaction, and emotional attachment. The book unfolds in three analytical layers: 1. The House: as an individual unit of living, exploring its psychological, spatial, and sensory meanings; 2. The Home: as a lived and emotional space, shaped by identity, memory, and self-expression; 3. Housing and Neighborhood: as collective systems of life, where cultural intelligence and everyday practices sustain social cohesion. The book draws inspiration from real-world examples including the Dutch woonerf and field observations from Bojnord, Iran, to show how the idea of "everyday intelligence" already exists within lived social patterns. These cases illustrate that true smartness may arise not only from technology but from community behavior, shared awareness, and mutual care.

This book invites scholars and students, urban policymakers, designers, architects, and anyone who has ever wondered what makes a home and neighborhood truly smart to rethink the smart home as a living, learning environment: one that cultivates resilience, inclusivity, and emotional well-being.

Transitory Urbanism explores how cities are continuously formed and reformed through movement, negotiation, and uncertainty. Rather than viewing transience as an anomaly, it positions instability, mobility, and variation as fundamental to urban life, forces that actively shape cities rather than disrupt them.

The volume explores temporary architectures, mobile infrastructures, and adaptive practices that emerge in response to regeneration, environmental pressures, migration, and precarity. It pays particular attention to small, short-lived interventions, improvised shelters, shifting spatial uses, and informal forms of organisation that can evolve into more enduring transformations.

Drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives, the publication brings together theoretical insights and grounded accounts spanning colonial infrastructures, peripheral regions, refugee settlements, informal housing, and post-disaster contexts. Across these settings, communities adapt, reorganise, and persist despite conditions of inequality and insecurity.

Contributions from architecture, urban studies, anthropology, sociology, politics, and the arts combine conceptual reflection with close attention to places where urban space is actively contested and negotiated. The book further engages themes of inherited systems, diasporic and maritime urbanisms, and everyday strategies for navigating displacement, redevelopment, and environmental change.

Focusing on informal networks, collective organisation, and small-scale practices that sustain urban life, Transitory Urbanism offers a nuanced lens on cities shaped by time, movement, and continual adjustment. It will be of interest to architects, city planners, urban designers, economists, students, and politicians, as well as anyone interested in the current social, cultural, and political issues on a global scale

John R. Hipp evaluates innovative techniques such as measuring and estimating spatial mobility and the impact of the larger city context on neighborhood-level crime modeling. Chapters assess the importance of longitudinal data, neighborhood change and the feedback effects of crime in understanding why crime concentrates in some neighborhoods and not others. Posing key questions for scholars, the book debates the future direction of research on the social, spatial and structural forces that shape the geography of urban crime.

Rethinking Neighborhoods, Crime and Place is an invaluable resource for scholars and students of criminology and criminal justice, geography and sociology, especially those seeking a greater understanding of the relationship of crime to spatial scale. Practitioners and policymakers in urban planning, housing and policing will also benefit from its timely insights.

This book shows how a cultural landscape perspective on suburban situations can improve quality of life for residents and provide positive impacts on long-term resiliency and sustainability. One of today's primary challenges for environmental planning and landscape architecture is accommodating competing land usage while providing the experience of a cultural landscape, i.e., a positive place connectiveness for people. This book develops new links between cultural landscape studies and the suburban planning discussion, showing how evolving cultural identities may have an impact on the sense of place. The book uses exemplary case studies from Europe and the US to present and compare underlying cultural narratives, focusing on the impact of these narratives of land use planning and design approaches on cultural landscapes within the suburban context. It will be of interest to students, researchers, and practitioners in Cultural Studies, Landscape Studies, Urbanism, Environmental, Urban and Regional Planning, and Landscape Architecture.

The Routledge Companion to Urban Planning challenges the conventional boundaries of urban planning, urging the field to embrace the complexities and ambiguities of the urban experience. It contends that urban planning must move beyond binary classifications-such as city/country or society/nature-and instead renew itself through language, theory, policy, and practices that engage with mixed forms, overlapping functions, and ethical concerns that lie in the in-between.

Urban planning, as a discipline, is inherently dialectical, simultaneously producing and undermining classifications that shape how we understand, navigate, and transform the world. Yet, within this tension lies a latent spectrum of alternatives. This volume takes this spectrum as its starting point, assembling 32 contributions from scholars and practitioners across the global North and South to critically interrogate and rework the epistemological foundations of planning. Through diverse empirical and theoretical contexts, the chapters explore how mixed forms, overlapping functions, and substantive questions unsettle conventional approaches to governance and intervention. Contributors examine the origins, contestations, and exclusions embedded in urban planning's classifications, probing their limits and omissions. In doing so, the volume repositions planning as a field that must engage ambiguity, rethink its classificatory logics, and cultivate more adaptive, inclusive, and context-sensitive practices for the worlds between.

This companion will interest scholars and professionals in the areas of Urban Studies, Urban Planning, Governance, Policy Studies, Social Theory, Territorial Management, and Sustainable Development.

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.

Combining thematic and regional approaches, the book examines the strengths and weaknesses of HSR and presents impact assessments of its benefits and costs. Contributing authors investigate how the characteristics of places, including political systems, the natural environment, population distribution and urbanisation, shape the growth of HSR. They also consider how places can be affected by HSR construction, taking into account geopolitical, environmental and social equity impacts. The book uncovers the reasons behind HSR's spatial distribution and concludes by debating the international issues influencing its expansion.

Scholars and students of transport geography, transport planning, transport economics and spatial planning will find this book an invaluable resource. Policy makers and practitioners within rail- and HSR-oriented organisations will also benefit from the discussions on the social, economic, environmental and political patterns associated with HSR development.

The book will compare and contrast the key problems associated with the planning and implementation of major road investments in selected Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries: Bulgaria, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Romania.

The CEE countries serve as an excellent research field, as no group of states in history has ever had access to such substantial external funding for infrastructure development within a short time frame. At the same time, investment outcomes have varied significantly across individual countries. Spatial planning systems are often cited as one of the factors determining the scale and pace of transport investments.

This book will provide a synthetic analysis of the planning considerations involved in the implementation and execution of major road investments. This book will be relevant to academics and students interested in spatial planning and major road investments in Europe.

This book explores how public spaces-such as streets, squares, parks, and shared urban environments-are designed and experienced and why they remain a vital but often overlooked part of urban design. Although the idea of the public realm has been central to cities for decades, there is still no clear or widely shared understanding of what it means or how it should be shaped in practice. Many of the key theories that continue to influence the field were developed between the 1960s and 1980s and no longer fully reflect today's social, environmental, and technological realities.

Cities are now changing rapidly due to factors such as climate change, digital technologies, migration, and increasing cultural diversity. These shifts are transforming how public spaces are planned, governed, and used, while also raising urgent questions about inclusion, resilience, and social justice. In response, this collection brings together new ideas, research, and practical approaches from a range of international contexts. The contributors examine innovative design strategies, the impact of crises on urban life, and new forms of social and institutional interaction, presenting the public realm as a dynamic, contested, and constantly evolving part of contemporary cities.

This book addresses broad subject areas including urban design and planning, architecture, geography, sociology, environmental studies, and public policy. It is essential reading for academics, researchers, and postgraduate students in these fields as well as urban planners, architects, policymakers, and practitioners engaged in shaping inclusive, resilient, and sustainable cities for the future.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Journal of Urbanism: International Research on Placemaking and Urban Sustainability.

This book offers a theoretically informed exploration of the political, cultural, and ecological significance of urban greenery in post-socialist cities. It traces how plants mediate among memory, infrastructure, and regimes of power across diverse historical and geographical contexts.

The book develops a vocabulary for understanding plants as actors, symbols, archives, and processes within urban transformation. It does so through case studies ranging from Polish housing estates, Nowa Huta, the Upper Silesian brownfields, Elblag, Szczecin, Warsaw, Vilnius, and Belgrade to Indian urban imaginaries and Chornobyl's gardens. Drawing on environmental humanities, urban studies, critical plant studies, political ecology, plant blindness, post-political theory, and more-than-human approaches, the book shows how vegetal life participates in memory, governance, conflict, decay, and everyday urban experience.

This book will appeal to scholars and advanced students in urban studies, cultural studies, environmental humanities, anthropology, and human geography, as well as to readers interested in post-socialist transformations, urban ecology, and more-than-human approaches to the city.

This book offers a critical rethinking of digital urban transformation through a planning centered lens. It moves beyond technocentric views to examine how intelligent technologies shape governance, decision-making, and sustainability outcomes. The book explores key areas including housing, mobility, water management, environmental resilience, and digital civic engagement, showing that technology is deeply embedded in institutional and social contexts. It highlights how data driven systems introduce new opportunities for coordination while raising challenges related to ethics, bias, and accountability. By linking digital innovation to planning theory and governance, this book provides a clear framework for understanding how cities can achieve more inclusive and resilient futures.

This book explores the transformations required for urban regeneration to become a true driver of urban transition-one capable of moving us beyond the traditional sustainability paradigm while ensuring that no one is left behind. For that, it examines how the ecological and just transition is being implemented through regeneration policies and instruments across a diverse range of European countries.

The authors begin by offering a comprehensive discussion of urban regeneration as a pathway for achieving an ecological and just transition in Europe. They then analyze how EU and national policies shape the evolving frameworks of urban regeneration policy and governance. Finally, the book investigates the role of local governments in advancing transformative regeneration processes.

This book explores how urban spaces and imagery serve as vessels for artistic creation, conveying cultural identity and heritage, by focusing on Macau as a case study. The book examines the role of city imagery in the contexts of World Heritage and intangible cultural heritage, and its transformation into artistic expression. Through field research, artist interviews, and detailed case studies, the book presents the creative processes of 22 artists, revealing how the "mountain-sea-city" imagery is translated into diverse artistic languages and media. By tracing Macau's historical development, spatial patterns, landscape characteristics, and folk traditions, the text demonstrates how urban imagery functions as a multi-layered symbol connecting natural environments, historical sites, and cultural practices. This volume highlights the significance of artistic interpretation in shaping cultural identity, preserving heritage, and fostering urban memory. It also provides theoretical and methodological insights into how art and design can operate as interdisciplinary tools for reinterpreting and re-presenting cultural heritage in contemporary contexts. It is relevant to researchers, graduate students, artists, and cultural policymakers, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of art, urban space, and heritage, and serves as a practical reference for understanding cross-cultural artistic practice and the narration of urban memory.

This book discusses the origins and evolution of the U.S. Numbered Highway System. In 1926, a nationwide automobile highway network was created for the United States. For the first time, a set of numbered roads would span the country, ensuring that any driver could find their way beyond their own town or county by following a number. This U.S. Numbered Highway System, of which the former U.S. 66 (the 'Route 66' of song and television fame) is the best known, included a geographic logic behind its route numbering system that has become embedded in countless other networks. A hundred years after its creation, this book investigates the geographical origins of the U.S. Numbered Highway System, how it evolved within a rapidly changing country, and the ways in which it helped shape the changing geography of the United States.

Focusing on Milan, Barcelona, and the Ruhr area, this book reveals how three leading European city-regions are reshaping the relationship between planning, agriculture, and sustainability. Bringing together fieldwork, interviews, and comparative analysis, it highlights the often-overlooked power of peri-urban agriculture and the complex dynamics that underpin truly local food systems. Farmland preservation emerges as only one piece of a much larger puzzle-one that spans governance, policy design, farm business models, land tenure, biodiversity, and resource management.

Through vivid case studies, the book uncovers the tools, strategies, and actors driving innovation on the ground, as well as the structural obstacles that still stand in the way. The result is a compelling call for a more integrated, multi-scalar approach to planning-one capable of supporting resilient local food systems and sustainable peri-urban landscapes.

Urbanization is expanding at rapid rates worldwide. This growth depletes resources, destroys habitats, and negatively affects mental health by distancing people from nature. On the other hand, per-capita resource and space consumption decreases significantly in cities compared to suburban and rural forms of life. By concentrating people into dense settlements, cities render resource usage more efficiently and they free up spaces for other species and natural processes. Yet these apparent ecological benefits risk coming at the cost of human alienation from the rest of the natural world. This tension raises a fundamental philosophical question: Must the city stand in opposition to nature? Or can it be reimagined as a shared habitat in which human and other forms of life co-inhabit and co-produce the world? How can it become a city for all, including other species?

The book surveys emerging ways of conceptualizing the relationship between the urban, the natural, and the wild. It explores different models through which cities and nature might coexist, reflects on why the concept of "nature" remains philosophically meaningful despite its contested history. Although the city is nature in a trivial ontological sense-insofar as everything is, in some way, nature-ordinary language often treats the city as an entity or space opposed to nature. The book explores avant-garde approaches in urbanism and architecture that seek to conceive of and then build cities that are in various ways reconciled to nature. It analyzes possible issues of justice and aesthetics, as well as efforts to integrate the wild into the civic sphere of the city.

Wildness, Justice, and Aesthetics: Imaginaries of Future Urban Natures will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in environmental philosophy and environmental humanities, political philosophy, environmental ethics and aesthetics, philosophy of the city, urban ecology, and animal ethics.

These foreboding times are producing an understandable sense of urgency and a desire to envision and enact alternative systems as soon as possible. This book is written for readers who wish not just to understand the roots of our current political and environmental dilemmas, but also for those seeking a new path toward reconciling humans and the planet.

High-energy cities have been normalized across the world and touted as the ultimate home of humans. We've all heard the claims that dense cities with their shared infrastructure and public transportation are one of the key solutions to the climate crisis. But what if cities are not just part of the problem, but are making things worse? What if these arguments for cities are obscuring real problems-and real solutions? Stephanie Pincetl presents a counterhegemonic argument about cities and development. Pincetl explains how the intrinsic energy needs of cities cannot be sustained in a post-hydrocarbon future without continuing the unequal extraction of resources and the continued de-development of non-Western, non-affluent countries. Instead, the book seeks to convince readers that relying on urbanization as a solution to climate change will only continue the extraction of enormous amounts of resources while impoverishing, polluting, and exterminating entire ways of life and obscuring the possibility that an alternative path is both necessary and possible.

Taking an interdisciplinary approach and drawing on decades of the author's scholarly and personal experience working on environmental policy and governance, this innovative volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of urban studies, sustainability, energy transitions, political ecology, and science studies.
