<b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div>
</div>
Published by the Institutional Capacity and Finance Sector of the Inter-American Development Bank and the Cities Alliance, this publication documents the evolution of settlement upgrading programmes both in theory and practice and describes the most critical challenges in improving the quality of life of the settlements’ inhabitants.<br />
<br />
Seven chapters each address a theme, presenting current knowledge on the theme, challenges, and successful experiences in confronting these challenges. Among the volume’s overarching recommendations is a call for the expansion of the scale of the interventions so that the more than 100 million poor people living in cities of the Latin America Caribbean (LAC) region may see marked improvements in their quality of life within a reasonable time span.<br />
<br />
This publication aims to contribute to the policy dialogue and to the debate about the design and implementation of settlement upgrading programmes taking place in all countries of the LAC region. It is expected that the analysis of the rich operational experiences will be of interest to specialists and elected officials of other developing regions that are confronting similar problems.</div>

<b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div>
</div>
This paper specifically describes the urbanization experience of Brazil, by far the largest country in Latin America, and which has attained levels of urbanization that surpass those of most European countries. Despite historical differences in timing and context, the trajectory of urbanization in Brazil holds many parallels and key lessons for other countries that are currently undergoing rapid urban growth. Reflections based on this narrative, including both the account of failed policies of the past and the innovative but partly proven policies of the present, could help policymakers in countries facing similar challenges deal more successfully with their own urban transitions.<br />
<br />
The intention of this study is to provide the basis for such reflections with a broad-based case study of urban growth and urbanization in Brazil that will situate this process within the trajectory of the country’s overall development pathway. By improving the understanding of trends and patterns, and their relation to other social, economic, political and demographic processes, this study provides insights into policy options likely to be relevant to countries still in the midst of their own urban transitions. <br />

<b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div>
</div>
One in every ten people lived in urban areas a century ago. Now, for the first time ever, most people live in cities. By 2050, the United Nations projects, almost three-quarters of the world's population will call urban areas home. The majority of this growth is centered in struggling, developing countries of the Global South, but cities in developed (or Global North) countries face increasingly complex challenges as well.<br />
<br />
Around the world, unplanned urban expansion is multiplying slums, overburdening housing, transportation and infrastructure systems, stifling economic growth, and leaving millions vulnerable to new environmental and health threats.<br />
<br />
To help manage and plan for this accelerating urbanization, the Rockefeller Foundation convened an exceptional group of urbanists--leading policy makers and government officials, finance experts, urban researchers, members of civil society organizations, and other innovators--for a Global Urban Summit at the Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center. This book shares their diverse perspectives, creative approaches, and urgent agenda for harnessing the vast opportunities of urbanization for a better world.</div>

<b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div>
</div>
For millions of people around the world, violence, or the fear of violence, is a daily reality. Much of this violence concentrates in urban centers in the developing world. Cities are now home to half the world's population and expected to absorb almost all new population growth over the next 25 years. In many cases, the scale of urban violence can eclipse those of open warfare; some of the world's highest homicide rates occur in countries that have not undergone a war, but that have serious epidemics of violence in urban areas. This study emerged out of a growing recognition that urban communities themselves are an integral part of understanding the causes and impacts of urban violence and of generating sustainable violence prevention initiatives.<br />
<br />
The study used a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods to understand how urban residents experience and cope with high levels of violence every day, and to develop strategic orientations for how to better support existing initiatives. The study found a variety of coping mechanisms, most of which were individual-level strategies to avoid victimization such as staying at home more, changing routes to school or work, or simply "doing nothing." Many strategies actually undermine long-term prevention, including strategies like joining a vigilante group or militia, or using other extra-legal forms of justice. Recommendations from the study focus on creating the basic conditions that urban communities need to be able to come together collectively to address violence, from upgrading basic infrastructure, to better harnessing the energies of youth and increasing coordination across levels and sectors of government and civil society.</div>

<b>Extract from the Introduction by Steef Buijs : </b></div>
</div>
A handful of megacity regions in the advanced and advancing economies, as clusters of large and overlapping daily urban systems are the prime powerhouses and central nodes of the world network economy. These regions, from the US North East, the Euro delta in Europe (including the Randstad, Belgium’s large cities and the Ruhr Area) to the Pearl River Delta, face not only complicated economic challenges but also demographic and natural challenges that clearly demand strategic planning and development at the scale of the megacity region. The international congress organized by the Dutch Megacity Foundation at the Faculty of Architecture at Delft University of Technology in November 2008, addressed these various challenges. how can planning at the scale of the Megacity cope with the challenges within, and tensions between, the realms of people, planet & profit? is there potential for (more) synergy between these three realms at the megacity scale, and how can planning help in realizing this potential? These are the central questions to be addressed, whereby the perspective will move from profit to planet to people and finally food, as a topic of special interest in the present situation.</div>

<b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div>
</div>
At a time of increasing globalisation processes, the search for competitiveness in urban regions has become a major political target for both local and central governments. The importance of the cities and their metropolitan areas in the national economy and their major role as global nodes in the international market is increasing the attention which they are receiving. There is a general feeling, shared by both national and local governmental representatives that the current approach to urban policies is not the correct one to face the new challenges which large cities, in a context of increasing global competitiveness, have to deal with today.<br />
<br />
In short, in OECD member countries, there is an increasing acknowledgment of the importance of policies that address specific urban issues. It is not only a matter of corrective measures, directed towards the solving of traditional urban problems, such as urban uncontrolled expansion, degradation of punctual districts, due to the concentration of environmental and social problems, but also the need to tackle proactive actions to encourage competitiveness and attractiveness. The goal of the conference was to engage a wide number of those interested, including city leaders and representatives of both regional and central governments, to widen the approach with which they envisage urban policies. <br />
<br />
More specifically, the conference was organised along the following two lines:<br />
<br />
How can the presence of the cities be made stronger in the context of “implicit urban policies” (not specifically urban), which strongly affect the standards of urban development, but which rarely take into consideration its necessary space implications?<br />
If one agrees that a strong and effective urban policy, able to allow the cities to successfully face the globalisation processes, cannot be the exclusive competence of national or regional governments, which new and more flexible intergovernmental joint actions are needed?</div>

Full title : The future of shrinking cities : Problems, patterns and strategies of urban transformation in a global context</div>
</div>
<b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div>
</div>
This publication is the outcome of a symposium held at UC Berkeley in February 2007, organized by the Center for Global Metropolitan Studies at the Institute of Urban and Regional Development, UC Berkeley. It brought together urban and regional planners, architects, engineers, developers, artists, and academics to examine the perspectives of a largely underrepresented topic: shrinking cities.<br />
<br />
The Future of Shrinking Cities: Problems, Patterns, and Strategies of Urban Transformation in a Global Context presents research carried out under the aegis of the Shrinking Cities International Research Network (SCiRN) and – in addition – selected case studies from the United States. The purpose of the publication is to encourage and inform discussion to improve the quality of life in shrinking cities. The authors identify and examine critical projects and issues in shrinking cities and present lessons learned from relevant projects and experiences in the US and abroad. The comparative approach to shrinking cities, incorporating a wide range of case studies in order to widen the debate, is both unique and innovative.<br />
<br />
The shrinking city phenomenon is a multidimensional process, comprising cities, parts of cities, or entire metropolitan areas that have experienced dramatic decline in their economic and social bases. Thus, urban shrinkage is often a challenge on the wide scale of metropolitan regions and requires policy-makers to redefine traditional paths of regional governance. Urban decline and the loss of employment opportunities are closely linked in a downward spiral, leading to an out-migration of population.<br />
<br />
The joint work places shrinking cities in a global perspective, setting the context for in-depth comparisons of selected cities considering specific social, economic, environmental, cultural, and land-use issues. Especially in the United States, planning practice is to a large extent concentrated on either managing urban growth or tackling redevelopment in a fragmented – not a regional – way, despite the fact that in many metropolitan regions urban shrinkage reaches beyond individual cities. In this regard, the papers will help initiate a redefinition of regional governance in the U.S. and also in the other participating countries via comparative research on shrinking cities.</div>

<b>Extract from the Introduction : </b></div>
</div>
The Comparative Urban Studies Project at the Woodrow Wilson Center began a project in 1997 designed to both identify factors that contribute to making urban areas centers of violence and poverty and propose policy recommendations for improvements and making urban areas more sustainable. Population growth, resource stress, environmental degradation, social fragmentation, communal violence, and international crime were identified by the Center's research group as critical challenges for urban areas throughout the world. The group then concluded that ensuring that cities more effectively meet the needs of their citizens is directly related to the way in which they are governed.</div>
</div>
This report is composed of papers, policy briefs, and discussions that outline some of the basic challenges facing the world's cities.</div>

<b>From the back cover : </b></div>
</div>
First in a series of thematic volumes, this book was prepared for the Commission on Growth and Development to evaluate the state of knowledge of the relationship between urbanization and economic growth. It does not pretend to provide all the answers, but it does identify insights and policy levers to help countries make urbanization work as part of a national growth strategy. It examines a variety of topics : the relevance and policy implications of recent advances in urban economics for developing countries, the role of economic geography in global economic trends and trade patterns, the impacts of urbanization on spatial inequality within countries, and alternative approaches to financing the substantial infrastructure investments required in developing-country cities.</div>
</div>
Written by prominent academics in their fields, <i>Urbanization and Growth </i>seeks to create a better understanding of the role of urbanization in growth and to inform policy makers tackling the formidable challenges it poses.</div>

<b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div>
</div>
The theme of this book is the interplay of geography, size, and industrial structure in determining the industrial vigor of cities. At any point in time, a city's economic prospects are determined by location, historical traditions, and momentum derived from past development and the available production base, which is composed of infrastructure, physical facilities, human capital, and administrative capabilities. These givens define an initial menu of possibilities, but no city is bound by them. The set of options can be enlarged, comparative advantage can be reshaped, and development paths can be redirected by suitable action, which takes history as a point of departure, but then uses policy to augment the resource base, exploit locational benefits, solve systemic ills, and improve the functioning of the city as a dynamic organism. This book explores the experience of three Chinese cities -Shanghai, Tianjin, and Guangzhou- and abundantly illustrates that turning each of these factors or givens to the city's benefit requires sound policymaking. Unless initiatives are taken to exploit inherited capabilities and to approach comparative advantage in a dynamic framework, a strong production base can start to decay, pulling the city into a vicious, downward spiral. <br />
<br />
This book is divided into 7 chapters. Chapter 2 provides the historical backdrop to economic geography in the three cities extending from early in this century to the eve of reform. It also describes the course of urban and industrial development in China and situates the three cities within the national context. Chapters 3, 4, and 5 explore the salient features of development in Shanghai, Tianjin, and Guangzhou, respectively, relating the efforts of each city to enhance its industrial strength through the effective deployment of reforms. Chapter 6 compares the experiences of the three cities and their strategies, relates these to restructuring efforts in other metropolitan areas of the world, and looks at the forces driving urban change in China. Finally, Chapter 7 reviews the main messages emerging from the juxtaposition of theory and experience in the context of the three cities, and examines their future strategic choices regarding reform and the directions of sectoral development.</div>

<b>Extract from the introduction by Chris Johnson :</b></div>
</div>
Until recently cities were seen as places. Think of New York skyscrapers, the streets of Paris, the canals of Venice or Sydney Harbour.</div>
</div>
Over the last 20 years or so a new reading of cities has emerged and that is their role as connectors of global capital or as satellites for global networks of advanced service providers. The new reading of the relevance of individual cities is based on how global they are as opposed to how local they are. This reading comes partly from the writings of Manuel Castells on the <i>City of Flows </i>and the pioneering research of Saskia Sassen on <i>Global Cities </i>(she framed the concept). But the role of cities as being networks of economic activity also comes from the rise of service providers in the areas of law, accounting, insurance, management, finance and design that are located everywhere. Well - perhaps not everwhere - but certainly where they see individual cities as being globally significant.</div>
</div>
This book explores this new dimension of global networks, of connected cities, of the role of the internet in linking businesses across the globe, or the rise of aircraft connectivity to world cities.</div>

<b>Extract from the introduction by Chris Johnson : </b></div>
</div>
The bustle and chaos associated with Indian cities encompasses only 27% of the country's population. The other 73% of India's population still live in rural areas and villages spread across the countryside - yet across the world, half the population now live in cities.</div>
</div>
Chetan Vaidya, the director of the Indian National Institute of Urban Affairs (NUIA) believes that India's urban population, currently around 285 million people, is likely to become twice this by 2030, indicating how important the urbanisation of India will be in coming years. Cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore are likely to continue growing while many smaller towns will become cities in their own right.</div>
</div>
This book traces Indian urbanity from the macro level of the statistics of population growth right down to the provision of an individual water tap in a low income settlement.</div>

</div>
Beijing was the first city of modernity to reach one million - the benchmark to be a member of Metropolis. For the past millenium Chinese cities have ranked in the world's top three.</div>
</div>
The importance of cities to China's development clearly has stretched over 1,000 years, but there is a new renaissance in the country that is now driving growth into many cities. With 119 cities over one million people and 36 over two million, it is clear that the future of China will depend very much on how these cities are managed, how they grow and how they handle issues like climate change. This book examines the rise of the Chinese dragon through the development of its cities. There are more people living in cities in China than any other country in the world, but our understanding of these cities in a global context needs to be lifted to higher levels.</div>
