How has American cinema engaged with the rapid transformation of cities and urban culture since the 1960s? And what role have films and film industries played in shaping and mediating the "postindustrial" city? This collection argues that cinema and cities have become increasingly intertwined in the era of neoliberalism, urban branding, and accelerated gentrification. Examining a wide range of films from Hollywood blockbusters to indie cinema, it considers the complex, evolving relationship between moving image cultures and the spaces, policies, and politics of US cities from New York, Los Angeles, and Boston to Detroit, Oakland, and Baltimore. The contributors address questions of narrative, genre, and style alongside the urban contexts of production, exhibition, and reception, discussing films including The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973), Cruising (1980), Desperately Seeking Susan (1985), King of New York (1990), Inception (2010), Frances Ha (2012), Fruitvale Station (2013), Only Lovers Left Alive (2013), and Doctor Strange (2016).

Описание: The modern city is not only pavement and concrete. Parks, gardens, trees, and other plants are an integral part of the urban environment. Often the focal points of social movements and political interests, green spaces represent far more than simply an effort to balance the man-made with the natural. A city's history with—and approach to—its parks and gardens reveals much about its workings and the forces acting upon it. Our green spaces offer a unique and valuable window on the history of city life.The essays in Greening the City span over a century of urban history, moving from fin-de-si?cle Sofia to green efforts in urban Seattle. The authors present a wide array of cases that speak to global concerns through the local and specific, with topics that include green-space planning in Barcelona and Mexico City, the distinction between public and private nature in Los Angeles, the ecological diversity of West Berlin, and the historical and cultural significance of hybrid spaces designed for sports. The essays collected here will make us think differently about how we study cities, as well as how we live in them.Contributors: Dorothee Brantz, Technische Universit?t Berlin; Peter Clark, University of Helsinki; Lawrence Culver, Utah State University; Konstanze Sylva Domhardt, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich; Sonja D?mpelmann, University of Maryland; Zachary J.

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters.
With increasing global urbanization, the environments and ecologies of cities are often perceived to suffer. While pollution and destruction of green space and species may occur, cities also remain part of natural systems. Cities provide natural processes necessary for survival for humans and other living organisms in urban areas. Urban ecology elucidates some of these processes and sheds light on their importance to healthy, fulfilling urban livelihoods.
Urban Ecology: Strategies for Green Infrastructure and Land Use provides background on issues relating to urban ecology and urban natural processes. The first section covers the types, values, and recognition of ecosystem services provided by natural processes in urban areas. The second section details the importance and potential of green spaces in urban areas. The third section focuses on biodiversity traits of cities, and the ways in which urbanization affects biodiversity indicators. Finally, the fourth section covers some of the tools and approaches available for urban planners and designers concerned with improving or maintaining urban environments and the services they provide.
This easily accessible reference volume offers a comprehensive guide to this rapidly growing field. Case studies and up-to-date research provide urban planners with new options for creating cities that will meet the demands of the twenty-first century. Also appropriate for graduate students who are preparing for careers related to urban planning, this compendium captures and integrates the current work being done in this vitally important field.

Die positive Auswirkungen urbaner Parks sind seit langem bekannt: Sie f rdern die Gesundheit der Stadtbewohner, beeinflussen das urbane Klima und unterst tzen den Erhalt der Artenvielfalt. Umsetzung und Planungsumst nde f r neue urbane Freifl chen werden hingegen seltener der Betrachtung unterzogen. Wie k nnen Parks funktional, finanziell nachhaltig und sozial inklusiv gestaltet werden? Dieses Buch zeigt Strategien auf, wie die unterschiedlichen Anforderungen - Nahrungsmittelproduktion, Naturschutz und Naherholung - miteinander in Einklang gebracht werden k nnen. Urbane Landschaften m ssen zugleich gestalterisch ansprechend und kologisch resilient sein. Dies ist in hochverdichteten St dten wie Singapur, Seoul und New York mit ihren begrenzten Fl chen eine besondere Herausforderung.

Die Landwirtschaft kehrt in neuer Gestalt in die Stadte zuruck. Wo findet sie hier Raume und wie kann sie das stadtische Leben mitpragen? Die Motivation ist vielschichtig: Aufwertung stadtischer Grunraume, Begegnung mit der Natur, Biodiversitat – aber auch die Suche nach Zukunftsmodellen fur eine nachhaltige Nahrungsmittelproduktion.
Food Urbanism ist ein durchdachtes Entwurfs- und Planungsinstrument, das Typologien, Werkzeuge, Evaluierungsmethoden und Strategien vorstellt und praktische Anwendungsmethoden in der Stadt- und Landschaftsplanung zeigt. Die zahlreichen Projekte – in verschiedenen Ma?staben von gro? zu klein – fuhren anschaulich vor Augen, wie Nahrungsproduktion die Lebensqualitat im stadtischen Raum verbessern kann.

Michel Desvigne ist der international profilierteste franzosische Landschaftsarchitekt. Ansassig in Paris, hatte er Gastprofessuren an der Architectural Association in London, an der Harvard University und anderswo inne. Desvignes Projekte haben eine starke strategische und konzeptionelle Komponente. Eine gro?e Rolle spielen Verkehrsprojekte, die die stadtebaulich-planerische Kompetenz seiner Landschaftsarchitektur unterstreichen.
Das Buch dokumentiert zehn Gro?projekte Desvignes aus Frankreich, den USA, Spanien und Qatar, bei denen er nicht nur fur die Landschaftsarchitektur, sondern fur die gesamte Projektleitung verantwortlich zeichnet. Wie lassen sich solche Projekte hoher Komplexitat realisieren? Wie entwickelt sich der intellektuelle Gedankengang? Welche spezifischen Probleme stellen sich bei der Umsetzung?

Описание: Lucius Burckhardt (1925–2003) setzte sich seit den 1950er-Jahren mit dem Planen und Bauen in der Demokratie auseinander. Seine scharfen Beobachtungen und kritischen Analysen haben die Gestaltung unserer Umwelt, die Lehre in den planenden Berufen und das Verstandnis von Stadt grundlegend beeinflusst. Seine Forschungen, die zwischen machtigen okonomischen Interessen und widerstreitenden politischen Anspruchen das Wohl einer Gesamtbevolkerung in den Blick nehmen, sind unentbehrlich, wann und wo immer geplant, gestaltet, gebaut und gewohnt wird. Dieses Buch legt mit einer neuen Auswahl seiner Texte einen Pfad durch die Planungstheorie von Lucius Burckhardt.

Increasingly, we live in an environment of our own making: a ‘world as design’ over the natural world. For more than half of the global population, this environment is also thoroughly urban. But what does a global urban condition mean for the human condition? How does the design of the city and the urban process, in response to the issues and challenges of the Anthropocene, produce new ethical categories, shape new moral identities and relations, and bring about consequences that are also morally significant? In other words, how does the urban shape the ethical—and in what ways? Conversely, how can ethics reveal relations and realities of the urban that often go unnoticed? This book marks the first systematic study of the city through the ethical perspective in the context of the Anthropocene. Six emergent urban conditions are examined, namely, precarity, propinquity, conflict, serendipity, fear and the urban commons.
