Routledge Handbook on Labour in Construction and Human Settlements The Built Environment at Work

Routledge Handbook on Labour in Construction and Human Settlements The Built Environment at Work

Routledge Handbook on Labour in Construction and Human Settlements presents a detailed and comprehensive examination of the relationship between labour and the built environment and synergises these critical focus areas in innovative ways. This unrivalled edited collection of chapters analyses problems and presents possible solutions related to the employment and conditions of workers in the construction industry. It provides comprehensive coverage of the relationship between the global workforce and the built environment and is divided into four topical areas: how labour and the built environment relate to development; employment generation in the built environment; quality of employment in the built environment; and the impact of the built environment on labour in other sectors. Underpinning the entire book is the premise that the way the built environment is produced and its main products – buildings cities and towns – have an impact on large numbers of workers. At the same time the quality of the built environment requires construction workers who are well trained and with good working conditions. While cities and towns are the engines of economic growth they will not be able to fulfil their economic potential if poverty in the workforce is not addressed. Those who are unemployed underemployed or work in unfavourable conditions cannot fully contribute to production and at the same time are limited in their ability to purchase goods and services – therefore limiting economic growth and restricting improvements in their living standards. In addition investments in infrastructure housing and inner-city redevelopment cannot be sustainable if labour issues – i. e. poverty – are not addressed. This book aims at analysing this complex set of issues comprehensively and will be essential reading to a wide range of researchers across the interdisciplinary intersections of construction business and management economic development urban studies sociology political science and project management. | Routledge Handbook on Labour in Construction and Human Settlements The Built Environment at Work

A History of Colombian Economic Thought The Economic Ideas that Built Modern Colombia

A History of Colombian Economic Thought The Economic Ideas that Built Modern Colombia

Ever since the quest for independence between 1810 and 1819 economic thought in Colombia has been shaped by policy debates and characterized by a pragmatic and eclectic approach. Economic thought in Colombia can only be revealed through the exploration of economists’ practices and the role of economic arguments within broader public debate. This history of Colombian economic thought provides a detailed account of major issues that have marked the constant feedback between economic ideas and economic practice in Colombia during the 19th and 20th centuries. This volume is thus a history of the interaction between ideas and policy. Those involved in these debates – politicians public officials journalists and latterly professional economists – established direct contact with what can be identified as the centers of production of economic theory (both in Europe and the US) and entered regional and local networks in economics but were not just importers of ideas or theories. The way in which they read discussed transformed and applied economic theories in Colombia makes for a rich environment for the production and implementation of economic policies that drew diverged and transformed the way economics was understood and used as a source of knowledge for practical concerns. This is why the history of Colombian economic thought does not fit into traditional typologies of economic schools and why it must be understood as part of a political debate and within a political social and cultural context that demanded specific solutions to urgent social demands. Through the study of what was taught when and how at the beginnings of the republican era and why and how professional economists came to lead public debate and economic policy making in the 20th century this book explores the foundations of this permanent interaction between theory and practice. This book will be of significant interest to readers of history of economic thought economic history and the history of Colombian and Latin American economic political and social life more broadly. | A History of Colombian Economic Thought The Economic Ideas that Built Modern Colombia

City for Conquest

City for Conquest

F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby still captivates readers with its vision of 1920s New York as a city of infinite potential where ambition and defeat live hand in hand. This sentiment is captured with even greater acuity in the pages of Aben Kandel's nearly forgotten masterpiece of urban life City for Conquest (1936). The source of the classic 1940s James Cagney film of the same name this panoramic New York novel captures the complex patterns of city life vividly evoking a metropolis of dreams and nightmares. Kandel portrays a volatile city inhabited by the aristocrat the criminal the idealist the bohemian the driven the entrapped and the impoverished all equally striving to make a dent in this town. The city itself is booming its new constructions callously built on destruction supplanting with equal disdain the slums of Brooklyn and the farm fields of the Bronx. This feverish microcosm of humanity inhabits a world of immense inequality where six blocks from Wall Street people haven't got a dime six blocks from duplex apartments people live in hovels and between the scarlet sore and the apple of the eye there lay a thick eyebrow of indifference. A literary triumph in the tradition of Stephen Crane's Maggie: A Girl of the Streets and John Dos Passos' Manhattan Transfer and out of print for far too long City for Conquest is the inaugural work of fiction in Transaction's new Lost Urban Classics series.

Rem Koolhaas as Scriptwriter OMA Architecture Script for West Berlin

Rem Koolhaas as Scriptwriter OMA Architecture Script for West Berlin

This book is the first survey of a new field in architecture theory: script writing. Rem Koolhaas as Scriptwriter explores the intersection of architecture film and text using the example of the working method of scriptwriter Rem Koolhaas and the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA). This book argues that Koolhaas formulates his approach to architecture on the basis of the “written sketch” or script and questions its transformations into built environment in the oeuvre of OMA. Divided into two parts the first part is a theoretical outline that explores the notion of scriptwriting in film. It provides in-depth insights into the definition and historical evolution of the script - as a blueprint Hollywood script avant-garde script storyboard the relation to auteur theory and the difference between the script and scenario. It surveys the first original script for the Exodus of the Voluntary Prisoners of Architecture. The second part offers a unique perspective on the urban development of West Berlin in which Koolhaas created a metropolitan script or blueprint that spans the period 1971–1989 from his first visit to Berlin to the fall of the Berlin Wall. This book will be of interest to researchers and students of architectural theory urban history and film studies. | Rem Koolhaas as Scriptwriter OMA Architecture Script for West Berlin

Rights for Aborigines

Rights for Aborigines

'We cannot help but wonder why it has taken the white Australians just on 200 years to recognise us as a race of people' Bill Onus 1967Aboriginal people were the original landowners in Australia yet this was easily forgotten by Europeans settling this old continent. Labelled as a primitive and dying race by the end of the nineteenth century most Aborigines were denied the right to vote to determine where their families would live and to maintain their cultural traditions. In this groundbreaking work Bain Attwood charts a century-long struggle for rights for Aborigines in Australia. He tracks the ever-shifting perceptions of race and history and how these impacted on the ideals and goals of campaigners for rights for indigenous people. He looks at prominent Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal campaigners and what motivated their involvement in key incidents and movements. Drawing on oral and documentary sources he investigates how they found enough common ground to fight together for justice and equality for Aboriginal people. Rights for Aborigines illuminates questions of race history political and social rights that are central to our understanding of relations between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians.

Mathematics for Social Justice

Mathematics for Social Justice

Mathematics instructors are always looking for ways to engage students in meaningful and authentic tasks that utilize mathematics. At the same time it is crucial for a democratic society to have a citizenry who can critically discriminate between “fake” and reliable news reports involving numeracy and apply numerical literacy to local and global issues. This book contains examples of topics linking math and social justice and addresses both goals. There is a broad range of mathematics used including statistical methods modeling calculus and basic algebra. The range of social issues is also diverse including racial injustice mass incarceration income inequality and environmental justice. There are lesson plans appropriate in many contexts: service-learning courses quantitative literacy/reasoning courses introductory courses and classes for math majors. What makes this book unique and timely is that the most previous curricula linking math and social justice have been treated from a humanist perspective. This book is written by mathematicians for mathematics students. Admittedly it can be intimidating for instructors trained in quantitative methods to venture into the arena of social dilemmas. This volume provides encouragement support and a treasure trove of ideas to get you started. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal PRIMUS: Problems Resources and Issues in Mathematics Undergraduate Studies. | Mathematics for Social Justice
