This book analyzes the contribution of cultural policy and the creative sectors of contemporary cities from the most advanced theories and concepts of cultural and urban sociology. Specifically, the book focuses on the phenomenon of cultural clustering, the transformation of urban cultural institutions and the emergence of artistic neighborhoods, taking the city of Barcelona as the object of study and paradigmatic of this process. Barcelona reveals the great possibilities that culture has to transform a post-industrial city into a tourist and service center, highlighting the contribution of politics and cultural institutions in this transformative process The limits, unexpected effects, and resistances to these dynamics that mark a new stage of culture in the 21st century of today's metropolis, are also confronted. This is a timely review of the main theoretical-methodological debates of the cultural field, applied to an urban context considered as a "cultural city" and in constant urban revitalization.

This Open Access book explores the development of contemporary urban struggles in Sweden, offering a comprehensive and critical perspective on collective action in cities. It examines the practices of collective urban actors, highlighting both visible and hidden forms of organizing, including actions and interactions that occur in spaces inaccessible to outsiders. The chapters move from an introduction to the theoretical and methodological approach to urban struggles, through an overview of Sweden's post-war urban mobilizations and movements, to detailed analyses of grassroots initiatives-particularly the tenants' movement and the Orten Movement. The book reveals the relational dynamics that underpin urban struggles and introduces new theoretical and methodological perspectives on urban movements. Designed for scholars and students in sociology, political science, cultural geography, urban studies, and related fields, this book combines critical theory with longitudinal ethnographic methods to capture the complexity of contemporary urban struggles.

How is the rise of globalization-driven cultural conflict reflected in the metropolitan geography of public opinion and voting behaviour? This book answers that question by exploring divides between metropolitan centres and outskirts in contemporary Europe. It highlights how increased polarization between traditionalist-authoritarian-nationalist and green-alternative-libertarian values has a distinct metropolitan dimension - one rarely examined so far. This dimension is shaped by both compositional and contextual factors, such as geographic peripherality and housing market dynamics. Essential reading for understanding how urban and suburban contexts are associated with political behaviour in ways that transcend traditional left-right divides.

This book argues that the future of resilient and liveable cities depends on making ecological systems not a supplement to design, but the scaffolding upon which urban life is built. As the final volume in this trilogy, this book advances the conversation from integrating nature into urbanism to embedding it as a primary design principle. The book explores how communities, engineers, planners, and architects can collaborate to regard streets as climate buffers, rooftops as pollinator habitats, and rivers as civic spaces, where each design choice benefits the ecosystem.

The book explores global case studies where the line between the built and natural environment is deliberately blurred. These examples demonstrate how design can be a tool for ecological recovery, from neighborhoods that use natural plants as a passive cooling system to cities that have completely remade districts around restored watersheds. It explores the technology tools that are allowing designers to forecast long-term ecological implications prior to construction.

Beyond infrastructure, the book explores the governance and cultural frameworks that enable these changes, demonstrating how community stewardship and innovative policymaking can lock in ecological gains over many years. It views nature as an active partner in forming urban futures rather than just an aesthetic effect or source of environmental services. The book presents a vision of urban settings in which every building, roadway, and public area is transformed into a location where nature can coexist peacefully with human activity.

This book explores how sustainable urban development can drive global progress toward Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 by enhancing cities and communities. Through an integrative focus on public spaces, sustainable transportation, urban resilience, and cultural heritage, it presents actionable strategies and case studies from diverse global regions that address inclusivity, safety, and accessibility in urban environments.

This work examines how visual and sensory documentation of public spaces can improve perception, accessibility, and safety, by presenting insights on AI technologies and 3D simulations, it reveals how sensory design and mental mapping help create environments that feel more welcoming and secure, thereby fostering broader social engagement and utilization of these spaces, emphasizing the role of sustainable transportation and inclusive urban planning in supporting local economies and promoting tourism. Furthermore, the book delves into the critical relationship between urban resilience and the preservation of cultural and natural heritage, underscoring that resilient cities are better able to maintain and protect their historical assets, revealing strategies for safeguarding these treasures, offering examples from Europe, Latin America, and North Asia.

Through scenario analysis and urban risk management, it provides a roadmap for integrating urban resilience with cultural heritage conservation, ensuring these sites remain intact for future generations while boosting their appeal as tourist destinations. Green and public spaces are highlighted as pivotal components for sustainable tourism and social development, with a focus on creating "smart" cities that integrate green spaces designed to promote social interaction and enhance public health.

The book examines how urban spaces can be optimized to foster social cohesion, improve public well-being, and support economic growth. By discussing roles of stakeholders in advancing sustainable tourism creating urban environments that are not only visually appealing but also functionally inclusive and beneficial for communities, it concludes by exploring integrative approaches and future pathways for sustainable urban development, offering recommendations for policymakers, urban planners, and scholars.

As cities grow and demands increase, continuing to build is unavoidable. Continuing to build in the same way, however, is not. This book challenges the dangerous trajectory of extractive, growth-centred practices within of the built environment industry and calls for a fundamental rethinking of how and why we build, and who ultimately benefits. It shows how the built environment can be reshaped to generate lasting ecological, social and cultural value. Drawing on robust practical evidence and real-world examples, this book demonstrates that regenerative built environments are not only possible, but necessary. It offers a holistic framework for accelerating this transition and invites the industry to step up its responsibility in delivering a future that is healthy, resilient and thriving.

This book examines how proximity-based planning, sustainable mobility, and equitable land use can support more resilient and livable cities. Bringing together international research and case studies, the book offers both conceptual foundations and practical insights into implementing the 15-minute city model.

Structured into five sections, the book opens with the core principles of the 15-minute city, focusing on accessibility, sustainability, and the challenges of measuring proximity. The second section explores policy frameworks, public acceptance, and the role of transport planning, illustrated by examples from Italy and Mexico.

The third section highlights social and spatial equity, showing how inclusive planning can meet the needs of diverse populations-including older adults-and improve cycling access for disadvantaged communities, with case studies from Dakar, Milan, and Lyon.

Land use and urban form are the focus of the fourth section. Examples from Krakow and Ia?i demonstrate how proximity-based planning can align with broader strategies for sustainable urban development. The final section turns to accessibility, using evidence from Spain, Maastricht, and Utrecht to assess pedestrian access to essential services and its implications for well-being.

Offering a clear and multifaceted perspective on the 15-minute city, this volume is an essential resource for urban planners, policymakers, and researchers committed to creating more accessible, sustainable, and resilient cities worldwide.

It examines the integration of smart infrastructures, data-driven decision-making, and participatory policies to promote social, environmental, and economic wellbeing. Through interdisciplinary perspectives and real-world case studies, it highlights how city managers can balance efficiency, sustainability, and inclusiveness. Emphasis is placed on human-centered approaches, ethical use of technology, and collaborative ecosystems involving public institutions, private actors, and communities. The book provides practical insights for policymakers, urban planners, and researchers seeking to build smarter and healthier cities.

Cities are at the centre of a contemporary civilisational crisis, marked by displacement, climate breakdown, armed conflict, authoritarianism, and widening inequality. These conditions are not external shocks to urban life but constitutive forces through which cities are made, governed, inhabited, and contested. It is from these uneven, conflictual, and lived terrains that Southern urbanism(s) is being enacted today. This Handbook traces key debates shaping contemporary urbanisation through Southern urbanism(s) as an epistemic orientation, engaging critically with how urban theory and practice are being reworked in contexts where crises are most intensely lived and negotiated. Rather than offering models or solutions, the volume examines how urban knowledge is produced through situated practices, struggles, and experiments.

The book is organised into six interconnected sections that address the ethics and politics of urban inquiry; the entanglements of theory and practice; the governance of contested cities; the Southern infrastructural turn; struggles over situated urban justice; and pluriversal urban future imaginaries. The Handbook argues that centring situated reflections from and about Southern urbanism(s) enables scholars and practitioners to learn from the front lines where urban challenges are confronted, contested, and re-imagined. The "South" is treated not as a fixed geography but as a relational and epistemic position shaped by power, positionality, and lived urban conditions. Engaging questions that scholars and practitioners grapple with in their everyday work, the volume explores how theory emerges through practice, how global agendas are negotiated or resisted, and how alternative imaginaries of justice and urban futures are mobilised for the global majority.

The Handbook is an essential guide and reference not only for researchers engaged with southern (urban) theory and southern urbanism(s), but also for undergraduate and graduate teaching and for urban practitioners, policymakers, and activists.

St Petersburg - known for its horizontal skyline, punctuated with the gold domes and spires that, along with its rivers and canals, have become iconic features of the city.

Drawing on original, on-the-ground research, On Top of the City shines a unique spotlight on the hidden youth communities of St Petersburg, Russia, where space and power collide and co-exist. Focusing on urban exploration, Abigail Karas demonstrates how the city's panoramas - especially its rooftops - contribute to the formation of a local St Petersburg identity and a fascinating underground culture where young people turn the rooftops into safe spaces, where they can resist the encroaching political repression of Putin's Russia.

Arguing that young Petersburgers' skyline trespassing is a way for them to reclaim their rights - over themselves and the city - On Top of the City invites readers to look upwards, at what these young communities create, as well as downwards, to the social and political control they are trying to escape.

In the era rapid technological advancement, the transportation sector stands at the cusp of a transformative era.

Developed through the Zofnass Program at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, Climate and Biodiversity in Infrastructure proposes a high-level conceptual framework to holistically capture how integrated climate and biodiversity action is defined at the infrastructure project level. At its core, it proposes a set of criteria to jointly address two of the most significant, concurrent, and interconnected crises of our time: climate change and biodiversity loss. These criteria aim to mainstream biodiversity into climate, and vice versa, as a way to achieve multiple goals.

The criteria represent a framing and scoping approach for infrastructure project teams to identify and prioritize key issues and risks associated with climate change and biodiversity loss, outline the required level of ambition, identify options and opportunities, and inform decision-making.

Fields covered include landscape design, energy, water and wastewater, food, solid waste, transportation, and information. This book will be especially useful to decision-makers in countries with mandates for net zero carbon, such as Europe and the US, that are called to prioritize the right projects for funding to reach their goals. Moreover, the book will be particularly useful to students of the design professions and especially planning and engineering.

This book compares social housing privatisation in the UK and China, revealing convergent housing outcomes despite contrasting political systems. Both countries show weakened social housing, redefined as financial assets, highlighting shared policy failures and the need to rethink market-driven reforms globally.

It examines global neoliberal influences, city-level implementation in Greater Manchester and Hangzhou through comparative case studies that reveal the rise of financialisation, state-local entrepreneurism, and the limitations of market-driven reforms. By offering an understanding of how neoliberal policies transform housing governance and challenge dominant theories and combining empirical evidence with fresh theoretical insights, the book equips scholars, policymakers, and practitioners to rethink housing strategies, assess the consequences of privatisation, and explore alternatives for delivering affordable, secure housing in an era of global market pressures.

This book will appeal to professionals and researchers as well as policymakers in the fields of housing studies, urban studies, public policy, political economy, and comparative politics. While its theoretical contributions target academics, the case-study focus will also make it relevant to practitioners designing or evaluating housing policy.

Branded Heritage and Real Estate presents a bold and timely investigation into the intersection of two powerful forces reshaping our cities today: the financialisation of space and the strategic use of heritage as a vehicle for profit.

Heritage can certainly be consumed, but it can be endlessly consumed because its ageing, unlike ours, is infinite. Regeneration projects that present themselves as "eternal" do not undermine the meaning of history; instead, they align with capital's objective to continuously renew value in forms that strive for permanence.

Driven by concerns about growing inequality, this book examines how heritage is strategically employed to validate and boost real estate development amid crisis and rising inequality. With London as a central case study, the book probes the rhetoric of "value", unpacking the political nature of heritage in urban branding, exclusionary redevelopment and constructed narratives of authenticity, ultimately revealing its role as a malleable asset within global real estate dynamics.

Essential reading for scholars, practitioners and students of urban studies, geography, architecture and cultural politics, this book offers fresh perspectives on the contested meanings of heritage and its intersection with urban inequality and redevelopment.

Using a novel interdisciplinary focus, this title examines cities as sites of coexistence where different ideas, discourses, histories, and people are constantly brought together in the course of everyday life.

While the proximity of "difference" has been discussed as a key feature in urban life, its various meanings and the way in which people perceive and make sense of diversity and the presence of inequalities have been met with less attention. To unpack the complex question of how people live together and what is between them in contemporary cities, the book brings together perspectives from a broad range of disciplines and different methodological approaches. As such, the book is also poised to deepen our understanding of the specificity and value of interdisciplinary research through an embedded reflection on how a change in method or theoretical ground also drastically reframes and affects the topic under study. The book thus adds to the knowledge on the specificities of interdisciplinary inquiry and calls for further reflection on its potential and limitations.

Exploring how everyday life in cities bears potential in revising the conceptual apparatus through which togetherness and separation are discussed, it will appeal to scholars, researchers, and post-graduate students with interests in urban studies, sociology, human geography, cultural anthropology, social psychology, and peace and conflict research.

This book presents how urban megaprojects uniquely expose the complexities of competitive authoritarianism. Through an analysis of Skopje 2014, it argues that accelerated, symbolically charged urban transformation reveals how such regimes govern space, manage constraint, and assemble power through the intertwined dynamics of implementation, ideology, and resistance.

The book offers conceptual and empirical tools to analyse urban megaprojects as windows into the inner workings of competitive authoritarian regimes. It employs a qualitative, process-tracing approach grounded in historical analysis and extensive empirical material. It reconstructs the emergence and implementation of Skopje 2014 through interviews, archival and secondary sources, media materials, and close observation of spatial transformation, triangulating evidence across different types of data to capture how authoritarian power operates over time and across arenas. By following Skopje 2014 across political decisions, spatial interventions, and moments of resistance, and by triangulating interviews, historical context, and empirical observation, the analysis makes visible forms of authoritarian coordination, constraint, and adaptation that are rarely captured through institutional or regime-level indicators, the book provides a detailed reconstruction of how an urban megaproject is conceived, implemented, justified, and contested over time.

The book is intended for scholars and students in political science, sociology, and urban studies along with historians interested in the politics of urban space and long-term patterns of development. It will also be of interest to researchers and graduate students focusing on Southeastern Europe, comparative authoritarianism, and urban design politics, as well as policy analysts and practitioners concerned with urban governance and authoritarian politics.

Creating Inclusive Cities: Territorial Rituals and Belonging explores urban inclusion through the lens of territorial rituals. It challenges traditional approaches to urban integration by exploring how cities can foster inclusion through ritualised celebrations and events. Through detailed comparative analysis of urban rituals across Geneva, Montreal and Turin, the book demonstrates how territorial rituals serve as powerful tools for creating belonging and social cohesion in increasingly diverse urban environments. Chapters reveal how successful urban rituals transform urban spaces into sites of meaningful connection and the critical role they play in building community bonds, showcasing the effectiveness of civil society-led initiatives in creating inclusive urban spaces. This book is essential for urban planners, academics and postgraduate students in urban studies, planning, sociology and anthropology, who seek to build more inclusive and vibrant cities in an era of increasing mobility and diversity.

Planning is a complex field, in which varied perspectives, politics, and potential actions are constantly negotiated. This is even more true in a changing world, in which climate change, war, inequalities, and injustices persist. Instead of proposing a single, homogenized response to key contemporary challenges, this book keeps apparent the divergent voices of people with varied levels and types of experience within the field of planning. The key themes explored span learning, feeling, creating, and acting: how social learning can and should be approached in planning; how important (dis)comfort can be in planning; what the role of arts and science can and should be in this field; and how closely academic planning research should be engaged in "activism" (and what that can mean). The book serves as an empowering tool for students, practitioners, academics, and lecturers in the field of planning to find distinct voices to engage with these pressing debates and question assumptions. It delves into ongoing conversations that these actors will inevitably be grappling with via an unusual format that allows dissonance to shine through. The book includes in-depth conversations per topic, key take-aways for different audiences, further reading materials, and suggestions for continued conversations and research.

Coastal towns and cities in Africa from Lagos and Cape Town to Victoria, Durban, Djibouti and Swakopmund sit at the front line of the climate crisis, while also sustaining their national economies. Drawing on rich case studies, this volume showcases how ports, fisheries, tourism and urbanization currently contend with sea level rise, storms, inequality and 'blue crimes'.

An introductory section of chapters is followed by comprehensive sections of case studies from small island developing states (SIDS) and mainland Africa, with a concluding section outlining cross-cutting themes. The volume explains and highlights path breaking responses such as blue bonds, marine spatial planning, climate responsive mobility, and circular, localized nature-based solutions, offering a compelling roadmap for policymakers, researchers, city leaders and practitioners seeking inclusive, climate resilient and justice orientated blue economies across the shores of sub-Saharan Africa.

The smart city is not merely a set of digital infrastructures, but a complex ecosystem in which technological networks, human capital, and urban communities intertwine. This volume explores the smart city as a relational space, a place where innovation, creativity, and resilience redefine urban development.

Through a critical analysis of international models and European policies, the book highlights the opportunities and challenges associated with big data, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things, while questioning the boundaries between efficiency, inclusion, and citizenship rights. The text also draws on theoretical perspectives that capture the enduring appeal of the city as a laboratory of creativity, coexistence, and imagination. What emerges is a new paradigm of a generative and resilient smart city: one that can attract talent and diversity, transform fragilities into resources, and build new forms of environmental sustainability and social cohesion. The book combines solid theoretical and critical foundations with practical methodologies and real-world case studies that support planners in designing smart cities. Readers will gain an understanding of the key features of smart cities, the evolution of related concepts and design methodologies, as well as the tools required to define new types of services and functions.

Offering a European and humanistic perspective on the urban future, the book is intended for a diverse readership including scholars, public administrators, planners, and citizens interested in understanding the challenges and opportunities of the city to come.

This book examines the women whose contributions significantly shaped housing management, policy and design. It highlights how these women leveraged their experiences, opportunities, and, in some cases, social and economic advantage to promote progressive models of housing and community building. Their contributions extended beyond just improving housing. Their work created community, cultivated civic responsibility and demonstrated that housing was, and is, an important component of an equitable society.

Organized by housing models, the book places each woman within her historical context and explores how they navigated constraints to contribute to housing reform. This trajectory spans from Catharine Beecher's influential writings on domesticity in the 1850s, to Mary Gannon and Alice J. Hands founding their architecture firm in the 1890s, to Lillian Moller Gilbreth's scientific management and her development of the "kitchen triangle" in the 1920s. It continues through Catherine Bauer Wurster's central role in drafting the United States Housing Act of 1937, Hillevi Svedberg's collective housing designs in the 1940s, and Renee Gailhoustet's visionary planning of Ivry-sur-Seine in the 1960s and 70s, culminating with Catherine Furet's public housing work in the 1990s and early 2000s. Many of the women knew or directly influenced one another, yet their perspectives and methodologies often differed, reflecting the diverse ways in which women shaped housing.

By illuminating these pioneers' achievements, many of whom were underrecognized in their own time, this work offers a reappraisal of women's roles in shaping the housing environment. This book encourages readers to reconsider the history of housing, by looking at it through gender and interdisciplinary perspectives.

An approachable guide to the political, social, and demographic changes happening in Africa and why they matter for the rest of the world.

Africa is undergoing an astounding transformation that will usher in a new era of political volatility and experimentation in the coming years. The region is in the midst of a historically unprecedented demographic surge that has skewed the median age in most countries to below twenty years old. This demographic moment coincides with three factors likely to amplify the political agendas of African youth: rapid urbanization, dramatically increased digital connectivity, and increasing recognition that old political narratives are no longer fit for purpose.

Michelle D. Gavin argues that these clear trends will result in an increase in political volatility. Anti-government movements will continue to find new expression, incumbents will be more vulnerable, honeymoon periods for new leaders will be shorter, and transfers of power and leadership will be more frequent. Citizens frustrated by the status quo will show more willingness to experiment with different forms of government and different external partnerships, all with significant implications for those hoping for a global democratic resurgence.

This book explores growing dissatisfaction and desire for change as the political through line emerging on a diverse continent, and illuminates some of the frustrated, defiant, and often humorous pan-African political conversations underway among young, politically engaged populations. What is coming will be dramatically different from the period of political stagnation that has characterized the past two decades in the region, and that also means that major powers like the United States, Russia, and China that are competing for influence in the region will have to change the way they do business.
