Between War and collapse, reconstruction and democratization, urban sociology developed in Germany as a new branch of science. What drew sociologists to the urban environment? By what methods did ...they explore it? What role did Nazi heritage and the American »Reorientation« policy play? Using the example of Dortmund's Sozialforschungsstelle (social research unit), Ulrike Kammer analyzes conditions and practices of urban-sociological research in the early FRG. She portrays the city and society as different actors, such as Gunther Ipsen, Elizabeth Pfeil, and Hans Paul Bahrdt, and shines a light on the delicate translation services by which scientific change was carried out after 1945.
Nine previously unpublished essays form an interdisciplinary assessment of urban memory in the modern city, analysing this burgeoning area of interest from the perspectives of sociology, ...architectural and art history, psychoanalysis, culture and critical theory. Featuring a wealth of illustrations, images, maps and specially commissioned artwork, this work applies a critical and creative approach to existing theories of urban memory, and examines how these ideas are actualised in the forms of the built environment in the modernist and post-industrial city.
A particular area of focus is post-industrial Manchester, but the book also includes studies of current-day Singapore, New York after 9/11, modern museums in industrial gallery spaces, the writings of Paul Auster and W.G. Sebald, memorials built in concrete, and contemporary art.
This article deals with the role of the literary topos of the city and its importance in the Ramón Gómez de la Serna’s novels. According to the Daniela Hodrová’s typology we attempt to demonstrate, ...through the analysis of some novels, that the Serna’s city is specified as “the city-subjec”. The author personifies the city and he fuses the soul of novel’s heroes with the local atmosphere. The protagonists are united themselves with the place and ambient, that are influenced by its attitude and the personality. We distinguished two main conceptions of the city in Serna’s works: “a modern city” and “a city-refugium” and their modalities. The modern city is characterized by its ambivalence: it offers an attractive and adventurous modern lifestyle, on the other hand it shows an existential chaos and dehumanization. As opposed to the topos of “the modern city” appears the topos of “the city-refugium” characterized by the historical memory and mythical tradition.
Shaping Places explains how towns and cities can turn real estate development to their advantage to create the kind of places where people want to live, work, relax and invest. It contends that the ...production of quality places which enhance economic prosperity, social cohesion and environmental sustainability require a transformation of market outcomes. The core of the book explores why this is essential, and how it can be delivered, by linking a clear vision for the future with the necessary means to achieve it. Crucially, the book argues that public authorities should seek to shape, regulate and stimulate real estate development so that developers, landowners and funders see real benefit in creating better places.
Key to this is seeing planners as market actors, whose potential to shape the built environment depends on their capacity to understand and transform the embedded attitudes and practices of other market actors. This requires planners to be skilled in understanding the political economy of real estate development and successful in changing its outcomes through smart intervention. Drawing on a strong theoretical framework, the book reveals how the future of places will come to be shaped through constant interaction between State and market power.
Filled with international examples, essential case studies, color diagrams and photographs, this is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students taking planning, property, real estate or urban design courses as well as for social science students more widely who wish to know how the shaping of place really occurs.
