The fixity or mobility of borders are key themes within the border
studies literature and have useful critical application to urban
and environmental planning through theory, pedagogy and practice.
This offers potential for transformative change through the
processes of re-bordering and re-orienting established boundary
demarcations in ways that support and promote sustainability in a
climate of change. Planning Across Borders in a Climate of Change
draws on a range of diverse case studies from Australasia, North
and South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia and
offers the application of border theory, concepts and principles to
planning as a critical lens. It applies this lens to a range of
international case studies in key areas such as climate change
adaptation, food security, spatial planning, critical
infrastructure and urban ecology. This collection fills an
important gap in the border studies literature, bringing climate
change considerations to bear on planning. It should be of interest
to students, scholars and professionals in the field of urban and
environmental planning, climate change adaptation, border studies,
urban studies, human and political geography, environmental studies
and development.

Global Trends of Smart Cities provides integrated analysis of 135
cities that participated in the IBM's Smarter Cities Challenge in
2010-2017. It establishes evidence-based benchmarking of city
geographies, city sizes, governance structures, and local planning
contexts in smart cities. This book uses a combination of
descriptive statistical analysis and real-world case study
narratives to evaluate the ways in which each individual urban
variable or their combination matter in the diversity of smart city
approaches around the globe. It is acknowledged that the Smarter
Cities Challenge offers a particular set of smart initiatives and
is not representative of all smart cities around the world.
Nevertheless, the global presence of the Challenge across five
continents and its involvement with 135 cities of all size and
socioeconomic status provides a solid foundation to conduct
comparative research on smart cities. Considering limited
comparative research available in the smart city debate, this book
makes significant contribution in understanding the state of smart
city development in urban governments worldwide.
Understanding Urbanism presents built environment students with the
latest approaches to studying urbanism. The book is written in an
accessible and easy-to-understand format by leading urban academics
and practitioners with decades of teaching and practical
experience. As students move through the chapters, they will
develop a critical understanding of the different ways architects,
urban and social planners, urban designers, heritage professionals,
engineers and other built environment professionals design our
cities. Importantly, the book shows how and why the built
environment professional of the future will need to work within the
Indigenous context of cities in countries like Australia, New
Zealand, the United States and Canada.
