Urban Governance, Institutional Capacity and Social Milieux (Paperback): Goran Cars, Patsy Healey, Ali Madanipour, Claudio De... Urban Governance, Institutional Capacity and Social Milieux (Paperback)
Goran Cars, Patsy Healey, Ali Madanipour, Claudio De Magalhaes
R1,158 Discovery Miles 11 580 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This title was first published in 2002: Urban governance has faced numerous challenges as city governments, their partners and their critics struggle to transform themselves in the context of post-industrial economies and societies. This context has generated new relations of economic life and social activity to be accommodated in cities, and has also changed expectations of the roles, relationships and modes of governance. New conceptual tools to analyze these experiences are becoming available, linked to a broad "institutionalist" wave of ideas sweeping right across the social sciences. This text responds to the challenges faced by urban governance and explores a range of efforts to build new institutional capacities. An international team of social scientists and practitioners critically analyzes conceptual challenges, policy developments and practical experiences.

Nikos Karadimitriou, Claudio De Magalhaes, Roelof Verhage
R5,020 Discovery Miles 50 200 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Urban regeneration schemes involving a wide range of actors and dependent on private investment are increasingly deployed in Europe's cities with the aim of delivering private, merit and public goods. This book explores the relationships, objectives and strategies of the actors engaging in these schemes in cities of three advanced European economies. It researches the outcomes of actor interactions as these transform under the influence of changing market circumstances and associated risks. The book focuses on the way this change is reflected in the provision of mixed-use developments within a context of increasingly polarised housing markets and urban growth patterns. It argues that although these schemes can and do deliver much-needed dwellings, their exposure to market risks may in many cases cause them to fall short of the desired socio-economically sustainable outcomes.

Public Space - The Management Dimension (Paperback, New): Matthew Carmona, Claudio De Magalhaes, Leo Hammond Public Space - The Management Dimension (Paperback, New)
Matthew Carmona, Claudio De Magalhaes, Leo Hammond
R1,647 Discovery Miles 16 470 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

In both the UK and the US there is a sense of dissatisfaction and pessimism about the state of urban environments, particularly with the quality of everyday public spaces. Explanations for this have emphasized the poor quality of design that characterizes many new public spaces; spaces that are dominated by parking, roads infrastructure, introspective buildings, a lack of enclosure and a poor sense of place, and which in different ways for different groups are too often exclusionary. Yet many well designed public spaces have also experienced decline and neglect, as the services and activities upon which the continuing quality of those spaces have been subject to the same constraints and pressures for change as public services in general. These issues touch upon the daily management of public space, that is, the coordination of the many different activities that constantly define and redefine the characteristics and quality of public space. This book draws on three empirical projects to examine the questions of public space management on an international stage. They are set within a context of theoretical debates about public space, its history, contemporary patterns of use and changing nature in western society, and about the new management approaches that are increasingly being adopted.

Design Governance - The CABE Experiment (Hardcover): Matthew Carmona, Claudio De Magalhaes, Lucy Natarajan Design Governance - The CABE Experiment (Hardcover)
Matthew Carmona, Claudio De Magalhaes, Lucy Natarajan
R5,953 Discovery Miles 59 530 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Design Governance focuses on how we design the built environment where most of us live, work, and play and the role of government in that process. To do so, it draws on the experience of the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE), a decade-long, globally unique experiment in the governance of design. This book theorises design governance as an arm and aspiration of the state; tells the story of CABE, warts and all, and what came before and after; unpacks CABE's 'informal' toolbox: its methods and processes of design governance; and reflects on the effectiveness and legitimacy of design as a tool of modern-day government. The result is a new set of concepts through which to understand the governance of design as a distinct and important sub-field of urban design.
