Mega Cities - - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Mega Cities - - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Volume II: MEGA-CITIES Mega-Cities presents an in-depth analysis of ten cities, prepared by noted scholars who have lived and studied in the cities under scrutiny. This volume covers the role giant cities play in their regions, successes and failures of their public policy, and their most pressing political and environmental problems. "Unlike Volume I, Volume II presents a comparative problems-oriented description of urbanization using ten of the largest cities in the world. This is a wonderful compliment to the first volume in which conceptual frameworks of urbanization were utilized in describing the urban dynamics of specific cities. In again selecting studies by leading scholars of cities representative of all the world′s regions, the editors have produced in both volumes a remarkably successful comparative analysis of world urbanization. . . . Without question, the editors have contributed enormously to the literature on comparative world urbanization, an area in which there is still much to do. . . . This volume and its companion are invaluable resources and inspirations to all those who have an interest in the urban dynamics in this rapidly changing world. Cross cultural analysis is no easy accomplishment, but the editors and the authors have done it successfully and the community of urban scholars is indebted to them." --Journal of Developing Societies

Third World Cities - - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Third World Cities - - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

It took New York City (the world′s largest metropolis in 1950) nearly a century and a half to expand by eight million residents. Mexico City and Sao Paulo will match this growth in less than fifteen years. Asia′s mega-cities, too, are exploding in number and size. This kind of unprecedented growth is being echoed in the urban centers of developing nations around the globe. The essays in this volume address the wide array of problematic issues--as well as the opportunities and advantages--that are the natural outgrowth of such rapid urbanization. Third World Cities examines three sets of vital issues. Drawing on the experience and evidence of the past two decades, the book′s initial chapters assess theoretical frameworks upon which urban and migration policies are based. The authors of the middle section press for fresh approaches to the increasing demands placed on institutions and individuals in the largest cities of the developing world. The final chapters examine the complex demographic, social, and economic processes of urban growth. Students, professionals, and policymakers in development and urban studies, public administration, sociology, political science and comparative politics, geography, and ethnic studies will find Third World Cities to be a refreshing and innovative look at this growing concern. "Third World Cities offers a range of new ideas on the demographic, social spatial, and environmental changes that are `occurring so quickly that up-to-date evidence is elusive′ . . . Third World Cities is both thought-provoking and highly readable." -The Economic Times

Spaces for Consumption - Steven Miles - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Spaces for Consumption - Steven Miles - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

In Spaces for Consumption Steven Miles develops a penetrating critique of a key shift characterising the contemporary city. Theoretically informed, the other strength of the volume lies in the wealth of examples that are drawn upon to show how cities are becoming spaces for consumption, which has itself rapidly become a global phenomenon." - Ronan Paddison, University of Glasgow "This is a great book. Powerfully written and lucid, it provides a thorough introduction to concepts of consumption as they relate to the spaces of cities. The spaces themselves - the airports, the shopping malls, the museums and cultural quarters - are analysed in marvellous detail, and with a keen sense of historical precedent. And, refreshingly, Miles doesn′t simply dismiss cultures of consumption out of hand, but shows how as consumers we are complicit in, and help define those cultures. His book makes a major contribution to our understanding of contemporary cities, but is accessible enough to appeal to any reader with an interest in this important area." - Richard Williams, Edinburgh University Spaces for Consumption offers an in-depth and sophisticated analysis of the processes that underpin the commodification of the city and explains the physical manifestation of consumerism as a way of life. Engaging directly with the social, economic and cultural processes that have resulted in our cities being defined through consumption this vibrant book clearly demonstrates the ways in which consumption has come to play a key role in the re-invention of the post-industrial city The book provides a critical understanding of how consumption redefines the consumers′ relationship to place using empirical examples and case studies to bring the issues to life. It discusses many of the key spaces and arenas in which this redefinition occurs including: - - shopping - - themed space - - mega-events - - architecture Developing the notion of ′contrived communality′ Steven Miles outlines the ways in which consumption, alongside the emergence of an increasingly individualized society, constructs a new kind of relationship with the public realm. Clear, sophisticated and dynamic this book will be essential reading for students and researchers alike in sociology, human geography, architecture, planning, marketing, leisure and tourism, cultural studies and urban studies.

A World of Giant Cities - - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

A World of Giant Cities - - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

This major work will change the way experts look at big cities. By defining a new kind of city (the region-dominating city), The Metropolis Era offers a new framework for exploring the problems and future of big cities. What makes a city grow or stagnate? This two-volume work provides a much-needed assessment of the factors that influence growth and change. Eminent sociologists, economists, planners, historians, geographers, political scientists, demographers, and urban scholars from 16 countries contribute to this assessment. And The Metropolis Era is the first work of this type to cover third world cities as well as cities of the industrialized nations. The Metropolis Era is designed for scholars and students of the multidisciplinary world of urban studies. Municipal officials, planners, and policymakers of large cities will find this book invaluable as they seek ways to improve the quality of their cities′ life. "For those who have been waiting a long time for a substantive cross-cultural resource in urban studies, the wait is over. In a two-volume series, Mattei Dogan and John D. Kasarda have presented what surely is the most representative and scholarly collection of articles on world urbanization. The first of the two volumes, which is being reviewed here, focuses on a cross-cultural comparison of cities demographically, historically, politically, economically and/or administratively. The second volume presents descriptions of ten specific cities selected from both the developed and developing worlds. . . . The thirteen chapters cover virtually all major urban regions of the world. . . . The state of the world urbanization is presented and well documented. . . . Each chapter presents its unique account of its region′s big city growth and the resulting impacts. . . . While I have yet to read the second volume, this representative and well chosen collection of papers in Volume I suggests that I will be equally impressed. All of the articles in this first volume are easily read by scholar and student alike, and all those who read this work will be well informed in the socio-cultural changes being generated, and sometimes festered, by the development of an increasingly global urban political economic system." --Journal of Developing Societies "For those who have been waiting a long time for a substantive cross-cultural resource in urban studies, the wait is over.

Easily read by scholar and student alike, and all those who read this work will be well informed in the socio-cultural changes being generated, and sometimes festered, by the development of an increasingly global urban political economic system." --Journal of Developing Societies "A major contribution that both addresses the roles that giant cities play worldwide and provides useful detailed analysis of individual mega-cities. Both the breadth and depth of analysis are impressive as one would expect from the list of distinguished contributors. . . .The Metropolis Era would be of interest to all urban scholars. Those with a more ′applied′ orientation, such as scholars in urban and regional planning and schools of public affairs should also welcome the publication of these volumes." --W. Parker Frisbie, University of Texas, Austin "Libraries supporting programs in urban studies, urban planning, and comparative urbanization will need these two volumes in their collections. One special feature of the second volume is that many of the essays have been prepared by specialists or coauthors who live in and study the cities whose problems they analyze. . . (which) gives the essays more credibility." --Choice "Needless to say, these two volumes will be of universal interest to municipal officials of large cities who daily face the challenge of providing their citizens with services and amenities of incredible breadth and complexity. Further, they will find a ready audience among scholars and students of urban life. And last but not least, citizens who live in megalopolises as well as in small urban settlements and who might wish to know how other cities are coping with meeting the ever increasing needs of their ever growing population will find the books a source of stimulating information." --Planning and Administration "The main virtue of this collection--and it is an important one--is that it substantively represents Third World Asian, African, and Latin American cities, and communist bloc countries, in addition to the West." --Contemporary Sociology "Anyone interested in learning about the development of the world′s largest cities and regions from an individual and comparative perspective will want to take a look at Dogan and Kasarda′s two volume assessment of The Metropolis Era: A World of Giant Cities, Volume 1 and Mega-Cities, Volume 2." --Cities "The be

Strategic Planning Plus - Roger Kaufman - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Strategic Planning Plus - Roger Kaufman - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Describes in detail how to create a strategic plan to identify and meet the requirements of any organization. A solid survey of the techniques of the subject. --Long Range Planning "I′ve finally had an opportunity to read through (this) remarkable guide to strategic planning. (It has) indeed captured the critical elements of this important if messy process. All of this is, of course, applicable to universities, and some of it could even be done without causing riots and revolutions. Every one of us who does university administration should probably read your book, if only to recognize what we are not able to do for lack of good data and good analytical tools." --John V. Lombardi, President, University of Florida "Dr. Kaufman′s approach to strategic planning is new, different, and innovative . . . the target audience of middle managers and executives should find the book an important informational source for achieving organizational and societal objectives. Furthermore, it will probably provide some interesting dialogue at strategic planning sessions." --Melvin T. Stith, Ph.D., Dean, College of Business, Florida State University "Just when the detrimental effects of trendy, short-term, process-oriented management practices are beginning to dramatically weaken altogether too many organizations, along comes Strategic Planning Plus. This book is a solid, reality-based management guide. It is filled with helpful advice and procedures that can improve your odds of doing the right things and doing them well. Reading it will give you a new perspective on the importance and value of planning for organizational success. Putting it to work in your organization can be a driving force in your long-term success." --Wess Roberts, Ph.D., Author, Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun "A fresh approach to a timeworn subject . . . I believe planning is something all managers would like to do better." --Peter Economy, Director of Administration Horizons Technology, Inc., San Diego, California Current strategic planning and development is often too myopic, and much more must be considered before practical planning is accomplished. Filled with fresh, new ideas and proven methods, Strategic Planning Plus covers strategic planning at three levels--micro, macro, and mega--and describes, in detail, how to create a strategic plan to identify and meet the requirements of any organization. This book shows how to identify the direction an organization must take, gives a six-step process for identifying and solving organizational problems, and provides methods for evaluating progress and revising strategic plans. Strategic Planning Plus also contains handy checklists, flowcharts, procedures, and case studies.
