Volunteering is typically thought of as an act of altruism, yet there are power dynamics embedded in volunteer-service recipient relationships, especially when volunteers operate from privileged positions. Following six grassroots homeless service organizations in St. Louis, Missouri, Matthew Schneider unpacks the tensions between race, class, urban space, and volunteerism. Volunteers are well intentioned and provide vital, life-saving services. However, Serving the Street explores how many of these same volunteer groups helped to reproduce racialized stigma and stereotypes about poverty, homelessness, and marginal urban space through volunteer practices that bordered on "poverty tourism." If our goal is to make communities more inclusive and equitable, this book suggests a need for greater self-reflection, even among well-intentioned, social-justice-oriented volunteers.

In this book, readers journey through rural small towns to discover practical tools for driving meaningful change in housing. This book delves into the roots of present-day challenges of rural places, tracing their origins to shifts in economic and demographic landscapes.

The authors furnish a blueprint outlining essential components for crafting and executing a housing strategy tailored to the unique needs of rural communities. The book culminates in a compelling call to action, coupled with a concise guide to best practices and common pitfalls in community housing efforts. It is ideal for community leaders and practitioners, and students in urban and regional planning as well as community development.

As the first major U.S. urban center located west of the Appalachian Mountains, Cincinnati depended on the Ohio River for its early development, eventually becoming one of the country's iconic river cities, with incredible growth during the golden age of steamboats. By the end of the nineteenth century, however, the river had lost its shine and became known as the "poor man's highway." The twentieth century ushered in a period of incredible activity concentrated on the Ohio River. Local elites began a series of infrastructural projects focused on transforming both the Ohio River and Cincinnati, bringing to the fore a new kind of river city. Unlike many water management projects that wanted to tame rivers, Cincinnati elites sought to build a sustained relationship with the Ohio River. For its part, the Ohio River actively took part in these projects, becoming a major contributor to the successful realization of elite objectives around urban growth, public health, and white supremacy.

For built environment professionals, delivering socially impactful projects is more crucial and challenging than ever. This step-by-step guide provides an innovative approach to stakeholder engagement, empowering project teams to create meaningful social value through the stakeholder engagement process and build better projects.

Socially Successful Projects in the built environment will help the reader understand the theory behind a reframed approach to stakeholder engagement using a social value lens. The authors argue that projects in the built environment need to be technically feasible, financially viable, and socially successful. Project managers need to focus on all three elements, which are summarised as 'concrete, cash, and connection'. Failing to meet that third criterion can lead to pushback, protests, delays, and potentially unsuccessful projects. This book focuses on the third of those elements (the social dimension) and provides a step-by-step guide to how a project can be socially successful. In summary, this is about delivering better projects for both the stakeholders and the project teams.

In Socially Successful Projects in the built environment, the authors unravel the complex relationship between social value and stakeholder engagement and reveal a transformative practical theory for effective collaboration and facilitation. Along the way, they address key issues such as design philosophy, scenario development, stakeholder analysis, optioneering, and project learning, and provide practical advice on how to use these methods within real-world projects. This book is essential reading for all built environment stakeholders and teams working to deliver better projects.

In an era of rapid change and growing uncertainty, we are facing an urgent question: How can cities be built for futures that defy prediction? The contributors to this volume tackle this challenge by exploring the role of contingency in urban future-making. Through a range of case studies, they examine relevant aims, strategies, and decision-making processes in both past and present contexts. They reveal how unexpected events and unpredictable factors unsettle established urban conditions but also spark new ideas and possibilities for rethinking and reshaping the city. The volume shows how urban future-making involves navigating highly uncertain environments and extreme conditions to open up new spaces of knowledge and action.

Global trends as well as translocal exchanges and the everyday realities of local communities shape urban transformation. Turning to the idea of >contact zones<, the contributors to this volume explore the spaces of encounters between agents of diverse perspectives and across different scales and boundaries. Through the lens of urban contact zones, they reflect on themes and projects of the Department of International Urbanism taking account of the past ten years and deliberating what is next in international urbanism. This volume offers a new perspective on diverse urban challenges to everyone engaged in urban research and design, policy discourse, and the development of transformative education.

Whether on the bus, subway or train, public transit continues to be a separate and unequal experience for many Black Americans

In Race on the Move, Gwendolyn Purifoye argues that, whether on the subway, bus, or commuter rail, Black passengers have unequal experiences in terms of time, quality, speed of service, bodily movement, and leisurely enjoyment. As she shows, the capacity to move around a city is of major economic and social import: who has the ability to get to jobs, healthcare, grocery shopping, good schools, and quality and affordable housing are among the features of urban life that are structured by public transportation systems. The woefully inadequate and underperforming public transportation systems in many Black communities has led to unyielding disruptions of families, communities, and futures.

Drawing on interviews and nine years of ethnographic field research and media analysis in Chicago, Purifoye details how covert and overt racial hostilities are shaped through racial residential segregation. Purifoye contends that race and racism have been historically spatialized, materialized, and mobilized through public transportation systems. By showing how minority passengers and transit personnel are not equally protected by the transit agencies, how they experience raced social aggression, and the lack of dignity afforded riders on a daily basis, Purifoye documents the intensity of everyday racism as lived out on public transportation. Race on the Move also offers community organizers and policy makers more equitable and sustainable design options that could improve the lives of Black city dwellers.

Sustainable Construction Management and Transportation Planning offers a comprehensive analysis of the prospects and challenges of decarbonizing the environment.

Examining smart technologies, such as drones, blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality, the book investigates their role in minimizing the effects of climate change. It also addresses the key challenges in decarbonizing the environment, including cost, cultural resistance, lack of standardization and regulation, and a lack of coordination between various stakeholders. In doing so, the authors shed light on the importance of policies in driving decarbonization efforts and how these must be implemented and coordinated in a supportive manner across all sectors, regions, and industries, ensuring that all stakeholders work together to meet global climate goals.

This book will appeal to policymakers, academics, researchers, transport planners, urban planners, and urban/transport planning students looking to learn more about the appropriate smart technologies for sustainable transport planning in smart cities.

An intriguing look at how the city's built environment influences the shape of Muslim communities in Chicago

Zoning Faith offers a rare in-depth look at three distinct Muslim communities in Chicago, one Shia Muslim, one Sunni, and one Black Muslim community. The volume explores how these communities navigate their social and political environments, and how their experiences in urban settings help to explain the emergence of new Islamic organizations, practices, and theologies in America.

Zoning Faith provides the first comprehensive spatial examination of Muslims' experiences in global cities. Although cities play a crucial role in the enactment of faith, they are often treated as places Muslims happen to live, or as places that are transformed as many Muslims come to inhabit them. Little attention has been paid to the ways in which cities may transform faith groups in meaningful ways, from zoning regulations and debates about where a mosque can be situated to how a building's structure can influence prayer and communal life. This book pays careful attention to the intersections of urban space and religion, approaching "built spaces" as profoundly political and particularly illuminating of the experiences of minority faiths.

Drawing on a multi-year and multi-site ethnography, the volume provides a previously unobtainable, in-depth look at how Muslim communities in Chicago defy the expectations of conventional places of worship. Crossing the boundaries of urban studies, theological studies, architecture, and public policy, Zoning Faith offers new insights into how Islam is vernacularized and grounded in the US in many different ways.

Sustainable and Resilient Cities: Insights into Urban Planning in US Cities and Communities offers an in-depth analysis of sustainability, climate change and resilience planning across 200 US population centers.

• an overall preparedness score to assess how well cities and communities are equipped to face current sustainability, climate change, and resilience challenge
• broader conclusions, including common characteristics and performance patterns of the 200 population centers, and policy recommendations to enhance urban sustainability and resilience.

Sustainable and Resilient Cities addresses the rapidly growing academic and professional interest in urban sustainability, resilience and climate adaptation. With insights spanning multiple fields, it is an essential resource for researchers, practitioners and policymakers.

Over the past two decades, Latin American politicians and activists have reckoned with their nations' histories of racism, forced displacement of native peoples, and inequality by acknowledging Indigenous communities as peoples preexisting the modern states. In Argentina-a nation long fixated on presenting itself as "white" and "European"-this shift has been dramatic. After decades of erasure and racism toward Indigenous peoples, Argentinian civil society is identifying Indigenous groups as not just an element from the past, but as nations central to the country's culturally plural and multiracial identity.

In Urban Indigenous Assemblages, Ana Vivaldi considers how Argentina's urban Indigenous population fits into this recent political and social movement. To do this, she focuses on how the Qom Indigenous people-whose traditional territories are in northern Argentina-have moved to Buenos Aires, made homes in shantytowns alongside other migrants, and remade urban space by building Indigenous lives in the city. Starting from a Qom barrio in Greater Buenos Aires, Vivaldi traces how Qom peoples' travels to rural communities and movement across the city create complex networks and produce an urban life always in connection to other places. She argues that urban racialized indigeneities represent sites of contradictory relations visible and invisible to state actors and hypervisible to development agencies, as the Qom are expected to prove their authenticity and remove themselves from important relationships with nonwhite neighbors to access rights and recognition.

Based on eighteen months of fieldwork, this book analyzes the historical process that created the barrio: the constant remaking of this Indigenous space in interaction with state institutions and NGOs, the links between the barrio and northern Argentina through travels "far out" to rural communities in the Chaco, and the expansion of "Indigenous territories" beyond bounded location.

This book offers an accessible and in-depth account of housing provision and policy in the UK. The chapters describe each of the major housing tenures and how they have changed, emphasising the uneven development and implementation of housing policy over time and place. In doing so, the book builds on and adds to debates that are prominent in geography and social science disciplines and provides new perspectives on the origins and nature of owner occupation, housing in the welfare state, housing subsidies and on continuities and turning points in housing policy.

Analysing changes in housing policy and provision from the nineteenth century to the present day, providing key statistics and discussing contemporary policy questions, this book contributes to key housing debates including decommodification, centralization, privatization, neo-liberalism, gentrification and residualisation. It is a benchmark and an invaluable reference for students, academics, practitioners, and others interested in UK housing.

This book dives into in-depth case studies across Thailand's low-lying coastal regions and its rapidly changing urban centers. It focuses on main coastal provinces and regions, where multidisciplinary research shows how hydro-meteorological hazards (such as storm surges, flash floods, erosion) are reshaping both natural environments and human systems. Detailed physico-geomorphological modelling reveals dramatic rates of erosion and accretion, up to -34.5 m/year on mangrove coastlines, versus -4 m/year on sandy beaches, with projections of increased storm severity and flooding because of sea-level rise.

The book provides a comprehensive perspective on resilience changes by fusing case-study narratives with institutional analysis, policy evaluation, and UN/Green Climate Fund-backed initiatives. In addition to concrete infrastructure, it highlights nature-based solutions (such as mangrove replanting, sand fences, and crab banks), highlighting the connections between sustainable urban development, multi-scale governance, and local knowledge. In sum, this book offers a detailed yet comprehensive picture of urban and coastal resilience, making it an essential tool for academics, decision-makers, and practitioners involved in climate adaptation in tropical coastal regions.

This book presents a bold reimagining of urban futures through the convergence of generative artificial intelligence and digital twin technologies. This book presents AI-powered digital twins as catalysts for systemic change, civic empowerment, and environmental regeneration rather than just as planning tools at a time when cities are dealing with growing climate stresses, infrastructure stress, and profound social inequality. This book explores the development of urban digital twins from data-driven models to intelligent, adaptive systems that learn, simulate, and co-design with their urban settings. It does this via eleven technically sound and conceptually rich chapters. It investigates how generative AI may improve climate simulation, manage floods, lessen urban heat, lower emissions, and promote participatory planning, all while posing important ethical, equitable, and governance issues. This book covers open data standards, AI-twin integration architectures, and the difficulties of implementing prototypes into citywide systems, moving from fundamental theory to state-of-the-art practice. It demonstrates how these technologies can be used to depict community-driven urban scenarios, model circular material flows, and build green roofs. Throughout, this book maintains that cities' ability to restore ecosystems, incorporate a variety of viewpoints, and envision resilient and just futures are what truly define intelligence, not efficiency alone. This book promotes a new urban paradigm where ethics are ingrained, intelligence is dispersed, and regeneration becomes the design axiom. It does this while keeping a close eye on both potential and responsibility. This book provides scholars, planners, technologists, and policymakers with a visionary yet doable road map for creating cities that are not just intelligent-but profoundly alive-by drawing on real-world examples, speculative design theory, and systems thinking. This is not a book about managing cities more efficiently. It is a book about reconsidering the basic concept of urban intelligence and co-creating the urban futures filled with care, courage, and collective imagination.

An illuminating ramble along the American sidewalk: routinely unnoticed, yet central to daily life, neighborhood vitality, and significant legal controversies.

Public infrastructure is as essential to our communities as it is easily overlooked. A case in point is the humble sidewalk: constantly taken for granted, yet linked to nearly every pressing issue of local governance in urban, suburban, and even rural areas. From commerce, taxes, and property rights to policing, homelessness, and surveillance; from free speech and socioeconomic equity to public health and climate resilience-sidewalks, surprisingly, are at the core of numerous major debates.

Sidewalk Nation offers a vivid travelogue spanning more than a dozen cities and towns across the United States to show how diverse communities are grappling with big challenges. Some are prosaic, if critical: How do we ensure that sidewalks facilitate mobility for disabled people? Whose job is it to clear snow from public space? And some touch on the most profound issues in law, including our rights under the First and Fourth Amendments. While traversing the country, Michael Pollack provides expert insight into the property, tax, and zoning laws that shape sidewalk management and land use more broadly. Offering a holistic vision for improving a vital resource, Pollack argues for reforms to ensure that local governments have both the obligation and the funding needed to give due attention to sidewalks and all that they offer.

Whether elected officials, civil servants, engineers, developers, or voters, everyone has a stake in the question of where sidewalks should be placed and how they should be used. Indeed, as Sidewalk Nation makes clear, what's under our feet should be at the front of our minds as we decide how to build, regulate, and protect our neighborhoods.

Remaking Urban Life in Chongqing's Public Rental Housing follows migrant families through an ordinary day-out the door for work and school, back after dark through night markets and shared courtyards-to show how a large state-led public rental housing (PRH) program becomes a lived urban form. Drawing on ethnography, 120 interviews, and sustained site observations across multiple estates, the book links predictable rent and indefinite tenure to the practical work of composing routines, and then shows how transport reliability, school access, and the governance of streets and plazas determine whether those routines feel possible, safe, and shared.

Set within Chongqing's distinctive policy architecture-land-ticket exchanges (dipiao), a more permeable hukou door, and metropolitan PRH build-out-the analysis treats planning documents and management contracts as maps that seek synchrony with household rhythms. Using Henri Lefebvre's "production of space" as a steady guide, it traces how conceived policy space and spatial practice sediment into the lived city: queue lines at bus loops, after-school relays at gates, micro-commerce along edges, and neighbourly care in stairwells and lift lobbies. The book closes with actionable design and governance tools that help agencies keep the housing platform, tighten the links, and design for the day.

Who should read this book? Urban planners and designers; housing and transport policymakers; sociologists and geographers of migration; property and facilities managers working on social-rental estates; graduate students in urban studies and China studies.

Key features include:

• Ground-level evidence connecting policy instruments to everyday mobility, schooling, and shared-space use
• Practical templates for governance and retrofit-service standards, micro-budgets, and a "kit-of-parts" for day-to-day operations.
• A clear theoretical through-line using Lefebvre's production of space to interpret migrant integration and urban sustainability.

This book focuses on the politics of participation in urban communities during the pandemic using the cases of two urban communities in Wuhan, China and Quezon City, Philippines. It is primarily concerned with the theory of political participation.

This Open Access book explores the role and agency of stories and storytelling in understanding places and in revealing how places tell stories. It addresses themes of colonialism, more-than-human agency, environment, atmospheres, borders, dwelling, enchantment, haunting, care and hope, revealing the power of stories to make and unmake worlds. Contending with the ethical complexities of storytelling and the political implications of the stories that are shared and heard, it illuminates how some stories dominate ways of being and knowing while others are excluded and overlooked. Ultimately, this book demonstrates how stories can provide alternative, critical and progressive ways of knowing and encountering place.

Written by the Storying Geographies Collective.

This book explores the complexity of cities as sites of warfare and investigates the ever-growing challenges for Disaster Risk Management (DRM).

By depicting the serious global security problems that test systems of culture, governance, war and peace practices, this book encourages discussion around the present and future condition of cities. The volume investigates the impacts of urban warfare and argues for the implementation of effective DRM systems that are based on understanding of disaster risk in all its dimensions, achieved through well-designed training programs employing the latest teaching-learning theories and agile methodologies.

This book explores how AI Economics, innovation systems and policies, data cooperatives, and data sovereignty are redefining democracy, governance, and economic life in datafied societies. Through global case studies, it examines how smart cities, generative AI (GenAI), and decentralization shape the emergence of datafied democracies, network states, and algorithmic nations. It asks whether these transformations can foster anticipatory governance and democratic renewal, or instead reinforce inequality and technocratic control.

Engaging with themes such as technopolitics, digital sovereignty, and post-Westphalian forms of governance, the book bridges political economy, urban studies, and innovation policy to illuminate the evolving relationship between power, technology, and democracy. Without being utopian or dystopian, it advances a civic and institutional framework for aligning technological disruption with digital inclusion strategies. Offering policymakers, researchers, and civic leaders an integrated roadmap, it outlines how citizens, institutions, and AI systems in smart cities and network states can share responsibility for shaping more inclusive, accountable, and innovative digital futures.

This book presents a groundbreaking theoretical framework for urban and societal development, focusing on resilience, adaptability, and proactive responses as key principles for shaping cities and society of the future. Urbanimmunology introduces a fresh and revolutionary perspective on how we view and design cities and society, reimagining them as dynamic, self-regulating systems inspired by the human immune system. By challenging traditional urban planning, Urbanimmunology offers new, forward-thinking ideas that tackle the complex challenges cities and society face today.

In a world where environmental, social, and technological disruptions are increasingly common, Urbanimmunology provides a transformative vision for urban and societal life. It explores how cities and society can evolve, adapt, and self-organize to tackle global challenges, using principles inspired by the immune system as a guide. The book spans a broad range of interconnected topics, including energy systems, transportation, underground infrastructure, disaster management, health, tourism, and border town development. It highlights how urban and societal systems can evolve to enhance the quality of life and social well-being for all residents.

From sustainable energy solutions to innovative approaches in disaster resilience, health, and quality of life, Urbanimmunology pushes the boundaries of how we think about urban and societal governance. This book offers new ways to rethink transport systems, urban infrastructure, cross-border development, and even the integration of tourism with health and the economy. These groundbreaking ideas provide a roadmap for cities and society that are not only sustainable but also resilient, adaptable, and focused on improving social well-being and quality of life for their inhabitants.

This book explores the increasingly significant role of cities as actors in the European Union's foreign policy, with a particular focus on EU-China relations. Analysing theoretical foundations, empirical data, and a survey of 745 cities, the authors provide unparalleled insights into the practices, challenges, and transformative potential of city diplomacy through its networks, partnerships, and direct engagement with global challenges.

Examining approaches across cities such as Amsterdam, Barcelona, Lodz, Linz, Duisburg, Ostrow Wielkopolski, and Dietzenbach, the methodological approach captures the complexity and variety of urban diplomatic practices to explore the factors influencing city diplomacy and address critical questions central to understanding its role in contemporary international relations. Considering how cities shape and influence EU foreign policy, the authors investigate how the size of a city affects its capacity for international cooperation and how collaboration with academia and business can amplify their diplomatic outreach. Finally, the book explores the role of policy coordination between cities and higher levels of government, highlighting its importance in achieving coherent foreign policy goals and overcoming institutional barriers.

Bridging the gap between academic research and policy practice, this volume offers valuable insights for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers. By highlighting the growing significance of city diplomacy, it provides a timely contribution to the fields of international relations, European studies, and paradiplomacy.

Exploring the crucial shift towards sustainable transport, this book examines how we can ensure safe and efficient movement of people and goods without compromising future mobility.

Transport, while vital to humanity, currently generates negative externalities that can offset its benefits. This necessitates a paradigm shift in how we approach transport systems. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of sustainable transport, from its conceptual foundations and current achievements to future perspectives. Grounded in original research, the book introduces concepts such as 'Sustainability 2.0' and 'sustainable infrastructure', offering new pathways for achieving this paradigm shift. It also examines diverse global transport developments, focusing particularly on the European Union and Romania and utilising Romania's recent EU integration and its experience building integrated transport systems to offer valuable comparative insights.

Presenting arguments and providing solutions for steering transport towards sustainable development at both micro- and macro-levels, this book will be invaluable for students, academics, researchers, policymakers, transport professionals and anyone with an interest in the current state and future of sustainable transport.

Papamichail introduces key ideas from innovation systems theory, institutional theory and endogenous growth, connecting them with real-world policy application. He presents both the promise and the pitfalls of regional development, emphasising how regions succeed when they build on their unique strengths, engage local people and institutions and create trust-based collaboration. Chapters cover emerging trends such as S3 2.0, green and digital transitions and mission-oriented innovation, arguing that lasting success depends on efficient multilevel governance and institutional quality. Drawing on global examples, Papamichail concludes that smart specialisation will cultivate greener, fairer and more resilient futures in regions that have effectively closed the implementation gap.

This is a valuable resource for students and scholars of public policy, economics and regional studies. Its recommendations for governance reform, capacity building and stakeholder engagement are also highly relevant for policymakers and practitioners in EU institutions, international organisations and regional development agencies.
