Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Berlin, Brussels, Florence, London, Toronto, Zurich - fascinating western metropolises which are all sophisticated icons of international commerce, finance, tourism, though in very different ways. Striking appearances and successful structures are, however, only one side of the reality. On the shadow side, there are the insidious changes which have come about primarily for reasons of quick profit and consumerism; social and ethnic ghettos are on the increase. Yet in all these cities there are forces which are facing up to these supposedly irreversible developments and which must be taken seriously. INURA - an International Network for Urban Research and Action - published Possible Urban Worlds in 1998 to draw attention to contemporary urban renewal. Now they are publishing Contested Metropolis which looks at these six cities, presenting the most important critics and alternative urban projects. Berlin, Brussel, Florenz, London, Paris, Toronto, Zurich faszinierende westliche Metropolen, die in je unterschiedlicher Weise urbane Ikonen des internationalen Handels, der Finanzwelt oder des Tourismus darstellen. Die glanzvollen Erscheinungen und erfolgreichen Strukturen sind freilich nur die eine Seite der Wirklichkeit. Die Veronderung der Stadt primar zugunsten des schnellen Profits, des individualistischen Konsums und steigender sozialer und ethnischer Ghettoisierung sind die Schattenseiten. Es gibt in all diesen Stadten ernst zu nehmende Krafte, die eine kontrare Haltung gegenuber einer vermeintlich nicht umkehrbaren Entwicklung einnehmen. Die von INURA einem international tatogen Netzwerk mit dem Ziel der Stadterneuerung herausgegebene aktuelle Dokumentation TheContested Metropolis stellt die wichtigsten kritischen Akteure und alternativen urbanen Projekte aus diesen sieben Stadten vor. Die aus praziser Kenntnis der lokalen Gegebenheiten verfassten Einzelberichte fuhren in Text und Bild vor, wie der Alltagsraum dieser Stadte neu belebt und so genutzt werden kann, dass er den realen Bedurfnissen ihrer Bewohner besser entspricht. Diese Beispiele liefern somit Erkenntnisse und Erfahrungen, die fur viele andere fruchtbar werden konnen. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR007266489
