COVID-19 is an invisible threat that has hugely impacted cities and
their inhabitants. Yet its impact is very visible, perhaps most so
in urban public spaces and spaces of mobility. This international
volume explores the transformations of public space and public
transport in response to COVID-19 across the world, both those
resulting from official governmental regulations and from everyday
practices of urban citizens. The contributors discuss how the virus
made urban inequalities sharper and clearer, and redefined public
spaces in the 'new normal'. Offering crucial insights for reforming
cities to be more resilient to future crises, this is an invaluable
resource for scholars and policy makers alike.
This volume is about the plurality and complexity of modern urban
public spaces. The authors move far beyond the nostalgia of
traditional streets, squares and gardens to mobilize contemporary
sociological knowledge based on the mediated relations between
spatial morphology and everyday life in cities across several
continents. Contributions analyse diverse social realities and
social interventions within the context of urban public spaces,
linking to the broader discussion of urban public policies in
European cities and beyond. Sometimes these interventions lead to
exclusionary processes; other times they are the object of
conflicts and resistances. When we speak about the
(re)constructions, the uses and counter-uses of urban public
spaces, we are always in the core of the political (city: polis)
domain as those places are not fixed and do not have unique
representations or immutable configurations - they are networks of
relationships and social practices with antagonistic views and
flexible uses.

This volume gathers, analyses, discusses and evaluates results of
current research on arts and cultural education in Europe, focusing
on the challenges of cultural diversity. Cultural diversity is an
increasingly characteristic feature of contemporary societies.
Groups with different ethnic, social or cultural backgrounds
coexist, interact and merge. The challenges of cultural diversity -
its innovative potential as well as tensions and conflicts - are
reflected in transnational discourses on education, culture,
democracy, and citizenship. Transcultural approaches, multicultural
education, and intercultural learning are key concepts. The same
challenges are reflected in arts and cultural education within and
outside schools, in teachers' and artists' training, cultural and
educational policies, and research. The thirteen chapters in this
book report on nine countries represented in the European Network
of Observatories in the Field of Arts and Cultural Education (ENO).
They showcase good practices in research and teaching, foster the
exchange of experiences, stimulate researchers and stakeholders and
give insights into their professional practices.

Over the last years, there has been an important discussion about
the ability of investment banks and rating agencies to properly
assess the risk of corporate debt. Practitioners and academics
have, for more than 30 years, developed models that aim to price
this risk. This book gives a deep insight into the predictive power
of three of the most important structural models of corporate debt
pricing. It provides the theoretical framework of each of these
models and evaluates their performance in estimating corporate
credit spreads. Questions like the choice of an appropriate model,
suitable parameter estimation and calibration techniques are
discussed. The book provides a detailed empirical analysis of the
importance of firm and bond-specific factors for the performance of
the models. This piece of work is a valuable source for financial
analysts that are involved in the pricing of credit risk. It can
also be an effective instrument for students and academics
interested in getting a comprehensive analysis of some of the most
important credit risk models.
