Urban Competitiveness And The Post-Covid City

de Peter Karl Kresl

~~33,13€~~ 29,82€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Exploring the impacts of the severe disruption caused by COVID-19 on major cities, Peter Karl Kresl expertly expands upon the nature of the challenges this has posed. He examines the policies that local leaders can adopt to limit long-lasting negative impacts and renew cities' vitality and competitiveness.Kresl conducts a unique investigation into how even the most internationally engaged cities and larger urban regions can decline in competitiveness and identifies opportunities for how they might regain it. Chapters cover measures introduced to protect populations, such as distance working, and how these created issues for central business districts, subsequently decreasing the quality of life for workers dependent on retail and hospitality sales in these areas. Using examples from Europe, North America, and Oceania, the book details the process of regaining urban competitiveness and provides a guide for policymakers on how to manage future existential threats to urban areas.Urban Competitiveness and the Post-COVID City is an invaluable resource for students and researchers of urban economics and policy. Policymakers will also find essential recommendations for public policy as well as analysis of the urban consequences of social distancing and work-from-home measures.

Fragmenting Cities - The State, Territorial Stigmatization And Urban Marginality

de Kristian N. Delica e Troels S. Larsen

~~33,13€~~ 29,82€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Fragmenting Cities offers a conceptionally innovative and empirically detailed analysis of the surprising acceptance and normalization of state-based stigmatization and discrimination based on place. It does this by drawing on the example of the first state-sanctioned definition of "ghetto", the controversial "ghetto list" produced by the Danish government. Troels Schultz Larsen and Kristian Nagel Delica introduce policy schizophrenia as a concept to describe instances where the state simultaneously stigmatizes people from the top while engaging in urban renewal at the bottom, deepening the fragmentation of the city. They develop a meticulously researched neo-Bourdieusian model of the state as nested fields, designed for empirical confrontation and comparative analysis. Through comprehensive socio-historical analysis, this book demonstrates how marked urban and political changes over the past four decades constituted a symbolic revolution, radically upending the fundamentals of not-for-profit housing. Investigating relationships that have been neglected in contemporary governance research, urban studies, and critical political geography, this book is an essential read for academics, researchers and students of human geography, sociology, urban studies, planning, and governance. Additionally, it is an accessible and innovative resource for policymakers in the field.

 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the bestselling, award-winning author of The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments, a dazzling collection of short stories that look deeply into the heart of family relationships, marriage, loss and memory, and what it means to spend a life together "If you consider yourself an Atwood fan and have only read her novels: Get your act together. You’ve been missing out.” —The New York Times Book Review, Rebecca Makkai, best-selling author of The Great Believers Margaret Atwood has established herself as one of the most visionary and canonical authors in the world. This collection of fifteen extraordinary stories—some of which have appeared in The New Yorker and The New York Times Magazine—explore the full warp and weft of experience, speaking to our unique times with Atwood’s characteristic insight, wit and intellect. The two intrepid sisters of the title story grapple with loss and memory on a perfect summer evening; “Impatient Griselda” explores alienation and miscommunication with a fresh twist on a folkloric classic; and “My Evil Mother” touches on the fantastical, examining a mother-daughter relationship in which the mother purports to be a witch. At the heart of the collection are seven extraordinary stories that follow a married couple across the decades, the moments big and small that make up a long life of uncommon love—and what comes after. Returning to short fiction for the first time since her 2014 collection Stone Mattress, Atwood showcases both her creativity and her humanity in these remarkable tales which by turns delight, illuminate, and quietly devastate.
