The demographic pressure caused by migration offers a considerable
challenge for urban centers today. It results in an uneven
development of the community and focus of urban planners becomes
how to provide decent, low-cost housing and transportation in order
to facilitate the integration of poorer residents among the rest of
the community. In large industrialized countries the challenges of
urban policy-makers are made even more complicated since these
governments depend on state or federal legislators to obtain the
massive amounts of funding required for adequately addressing these
local issues that are in global cause. The book analyzes the
strategies for urban development in Leipzig, Germany, and shows how
civic leaders were able to harmonize planning and equity. They
relied heavily on two interesting approaches in that process: the
promotion of culture as a key component of urban development and
the reconciliation of the inevitable process of gentrification with
social equity. The book also looks at the globalization aspect of
urban development, reviews research in social equity in urban
development in Europe and the United States and describes
sustainability as an important element of urban renaissance.
