Review Of The Grit Beneath The Glitter, Ed. Hal K. Rothman And Mike Davis, And Neon Metropolis, By Hal K. Rothman, Clara Irazabal

Clara Irazabal

Deception and self-deception have become second nature in Las Vegas, which is why these books by Hal Rothman and Mike Davis provide much appreciated critical perspective. They allow the readers to engage "the city of desires" in profound and multifaceted ways. While Las Vegas is called "the city of the future" or "the city of the twenty-first century," the editors and authors of The Grit Beneath the Glitter rightfully ask whether Las Vegas would also be "the new American nightmare?" (p. 9).

What Politics Is This Place? (Post)Glocal Politics In Latin America's Public Spaces, Clara Irazabal

Clara Irazabal

The IASTE 2004 conference proposes that "postglobal is not an end to globalization but the emergence of a different kind of engagement that is sharply at odds with the visions of liberal, multicultural globalization. Here, both religious fundamentalism and imperial hegemony begin to emerge as the new forms of." Yet, there are other types of (post)globalizations (Sklair, 2002). And at least one such alternative form of global engagement is that which (desperately) holds on to the visions of a liberal, multicultural globalization in the politics of nation building, particularly as enacted in urban spaces. Focusing on this form, this paper …

Das Problem Der Offentlichen Sicherheit In Der Andengemeinschaft, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

Stadtische Gewalt ist sicherlich so alt wie die Stadt selbst; trotzdem ist kaum zu bestreiten, dass sie sich in den letzten Jahren unter anderem aufgrund ihrer veranderten Erscheinungsformen, ihrer sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen und ihrer alarmierenden Zunahme zu einem der dringlichsten Probleme der heutigen Andenstadte entwickelt hat. Die Gewalttatigkeit hat mittlerweile alle Lander und Stadte der Region erfasst, wobei allerdings stadt- und kulturspezifische Besonderheiten und Intensitaten zu beobachten sind.

Die massive Ausbreitung dieser Gewalt lasst sich in den Stadten der Region sowohl am faktischen Anstieg der Straftaten als auch an ihrer veranderten Wahrnehmung seitens der Bev61kerung festmachen und führt zu …

Durante los últimos años, la violencia urbana se ha convertido en uno de los temas más relevantes en la región andina, debido a las nuevas formas que asume, a los impactos sociales y económicos y al incremento de su magnitud!. Las violencias se han extendido en todos los países y ciudades de la región con peculiaridades y ritmos propios, provocando cambios en las urbes. Allí, las transformaciones en el urbanismo (amurallamiento de la ciudad, nuevos modos de segregación residencial), en los comportamientos de la población (angustia, desamparo), en la interacción social (reducción de la ciudadanía, nuevas formas de socialización) y …

La Descentralización: Una Perspectiva Comparada Entre América Latina Y Europa, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

LA DESCENTRALIZACIÓN COMO AMBITO DE CONFLICTO

La descentralización implica una readecuación de las relaciones entre el Estado y la sociedad para equilibrar los poderes dentro del Estado, tanto entre las funciones ejecutivas, legislativas y judiciales (descentralización horizontal), como entre los poderes de la nación, la provincia y el municipio (descentralización vertical).

La descentralización es consustancial al proceso de democratización del Estado, en tanto redefine la centralidad, es decir, el poder, dentro de la estructura estatal y, además, replantea las formas de representación y participación de la población. La descentralización es un proceso que forma parte de la reforma del Estado …

Jelisaveta Načić: The First Serbian Female Architect, Jelena Bogdanović

Jelena Bogdanović

In the entire history of architecture, few female architects are recognized by name. Jelisaveta Načić (1878–1955), the first woman architect in Serbia, is among these select few. Upon acquiring her degree in architecture from the Great School (Visoka Škola) in Belgrade in 1900, Načić worked on several municipal buildings in Belgrade and elsewhere, some of which have remained architectural landmarks in Serbia to the present day. Načić worked on the twentieth-century urban re-design for the so-called “Big Kalemegdan” in Belgrade and designed King Peter I Elementary School in Belgrade (1905–18). Jelisaveta Načić was also engaged in the design and execution …

Planning For Retail Activities In Small Downtowns: Towards A Pragmatic Approach, John Mullin, Zenia Kotval

John R. Mullin

Over the past twenty years there has been an enormous shift in terms of retail activity in our downtowns. The changes that have occurred have influenced where and how we shop, where we live and how we define the centers of our communities. As these have evolved, planners have constantly attempted to react and adapt. At times, they have been quite sucessful while, more often, they have been frustrated. What is most perplexing is that the shifts show no signs of abating. It is an exciting time to be undertaking downtown planning!

The University As A Contributor To The Local Economy: Key Thoughts For Local Planners, John Mullin, Zenia Kotval

John R. Mullin

As we move into the twenty-first century, economic development officials are increasingly attempting to find new ways to "jump start" their local economies. Traditionally, this has involved, among others, finding appropriate land, ensuring there is adequate infrastructure, helping to train the local workforce, bringing financial institutions on board and assisting local entrepreneurs to bring their ideas to the market place. More recently, it has been also oriented toward ensuring that human capital is being invested into the community such that the local schools, recreation facilities, cultural attractions and public safety systems are all first rate. What has been too frequently …

Futures Thinking To Achieve Sustainable Development At Local Level In Ireland, Lorcan Sirr, Ruth Kelly, John Ratcliffe

Reports

We are living in times of unprecedented global change and upheaval and over the next ten to 20 years governments, organisations and individuals will face increasing difficulties in an environment of growing complexity, heightened uncertainty and a quickening pace of change. The concept of sustainable development implies the reconciliation of long-term socio-economic development, environmental protection and quality of life; essentially it is concerned with the future. Unfortunately, the potential for linking “futures thinking” to debates about sustainable development at local and regional government levels is relatively undeveloped, particularly in Ireland. Responding to this challenge, The Futures Academy at Technological University …

All Party Oireachtas Committee On The Constitution Ninth Progress Report, Tom Dunne

Reports

Ireland, like many other countries with high rates of economic growth, is urbanising rapidly. There has been considerable emphasis on planning for this through the National Development Plan, the National Spatial Strategy, development guidelines and other measures. Through these the state intends that a proper planning process will lead growth rather than leaving it to market forces to drive development in what are regarded as undesirable directions. The latter it is feared will lead to unsuitable social, economic or physical outcomes. Unintended results have flowed from the implementation, or flawed implementation of many of these policies and have given rise …

Smart Development For Brownfields: A Futures Approach Using The Prospective Through Scenarios Method, Dorothy Stewart

Articles

The technological revolution has resulted in fundamental changes as to how and where people work, live and play in modern day society. This has been coupled with unprecedented growth in certain developed countries and has culminated in the creation of new economies based on service provision. Such change has brought with it challenges commonly associated with unpredicted growth; traffic congestion, urban sprawl, the abandonment of inner cities, poor access to education and a perceived lack of affordable housing. However, people now want fewer hours in traffic and more opportunities to enjoy green space, and housing that is both affordable and …

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

This paper considers the historical geography of place and identity construction through the case of English Nationalism and the British Empire as encapsulated in London’s Saint Paul’s Cathedral. The research explores several themes: 1) the British Empire’s use of Saint Paul’s Cathedral as a representation, both physically and symbolically, of the ideals and power of the empire; 2) the British Empire’s employment of the Cathedral as the emotional and ideological center of national identity and imperialism in the English population; and 3) the British Empire's manipulation of the image of Saint Paul’s Cathedralas a national and religious landmark.
