The advent of the 21st century marks the unfolding of a new
urbanism, of a new urban fabric in the making. Bringing together a
range of leading scholars from a wide range of disciplines, this
edited collection examines innovative urban redevelopment projects
around Europe and North America which are at the forefront of this
new urbanism and which are here termed 'New Downtowns'. It
introduces this term and concept and addresses major questions such
as: What does a sustained urbanity for the 21st century look like?
Which strategies do politicians and planners deploy to create new
synergies between planning for the public good and private
interest? Can market forces be co-opted for collective interests?
Does the imagination of a European city continue to inspire new
urbanism within and beyond Europe? And can a future urbanity for
the 21st century be planned at all? In particular, it focuses on
Hamburg's HafenCity", which, at around 155 hectares, is one of the
most prominent city centre development projects in Europe and will
increase the size of Hamburg's city centre by 40 percent. The
project HafenCity serves as a starting point for a conceptually
wide ranging debate on the character, shape, function and meaning
of New Downtowns.

Gentrification is arguably the most dynamic area of conflict in
current urban development policy - it is the process by which
poorer populations are displaced by more affluent groups. Although
gentrification is well-documented, German and international
research largely focuses on improvements in the built environment
and social composition of neighbourhoods. The consequences for
those who are displaced often remain overlooked. Where do they
move? What does it mean to be forced to leave a familiar
residential area? What kinds of resistance strategies are
developed? How does anti-gentrification work? With a focus on
Berlin - the German "capital of gentrification" - the chapters in
this volume use innovative methods to explore these pressing
questions.
