Don’t get me wrong. It was nice. There are coffee shops, jazz clubs, and the place is full of beautiful late Victorian architecture. But I confess I really didn’t understand what the “U Street Corridor” was.<br /> <br /> Having read Blair Ruble‘s terrific <a target="_blank" href="http://jhupbooks.press.jhu.edu/ecom/MasterServlet/GetItemDetailsHandler?iN=9780801898006&qty=1&source=2&viewMode=3&loggedIN=false&JavaScript=y">Washington’s U Street: A Biography</a> (Johns Hopkins UP/Woodrow Wilson Center Press, 2010), I can confidently say that now I get it. U Street was arguably the first urban area in the post-bellum United States in which African Americans formed a vital, sophisticated, wealthy, and identifiably modern “negro” (as they would have said) culture. Today we take it for granted that African Americans make a vital contribution to the cultural life (though not only that) of the United States. At the end of the Civil War, that wasn’t so. The vast majority of Blacks were southern, rural, and poor. If they appeared on the stage of national culture (and they almost never did), it was through the devices of minstrels in black-face. As Ruble points out, all that changed on U Street in the early 20th century, the birthplace of modern African American culture. Now I know, and I’m glad I do.

It will then compare the maturation of the site from an extramural fortress to a royal city under the Nasrids (13th-15th centuries) with the similar process which took place in the Moroccan city of Fes where the Marinid dynasty contructed a royal city in the vicinity of previous extramural fortresses at the same time.</div>  </div> Although the Alhambra is often seen as unique, it is possible that the site’s development under the Nasrids used the slightly earlier example of New Fes as a model, especially as information about it would have been readily available from Zanata troops closely associated with the Marinids who went to serve the Nasrids. The similarity of the cities’ names in Arabic – the Red City (Madīnat al-Ḥamrā’) and the White City (Madīnat al-Bayḍā’) – suggests at least a degree of mutual recognition and perhaps competition. Both cities may also been seen in the broader context of urban development in the post-caliphal Islamic world where citadels connected to older urban conurbations had become a common way for regimes to physically articulate their relationship with their Muslim subjects. This relationship emphasised the physical (and coercive) power of a regime which implied their ability to both protect and chastise and in most cases other foundations for the good of the populace reassured them of the goodwill of their rulers: a hospital just below the Alhambra; theological colleges (madrasas) and inns in Old Fes.</div>  </div> The purpose of this discussion is to attempt to understand the Alhambra from the perspective of the fourteenth century Muslims of Granada and to restore it to its context which cannot exclude nearby Marinid Morocco given the human contact, the political rivalry, and the artistic competition between Granada and Morocco.</div>  </div> <b>Amira Bennison </b>is University Senior Lecturer in Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies and a Fellow of Magdalene College at the University of Cambridge.</div>  </div> Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Alhambra Bennison Amira culture urbaine développement urbain Fès gouvernance Granada Grenade histoire urbaine Islamic city New Fes ville islamique Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The development patterns and instruments of urban growth are well-known. However, the processes of shrinkage and its broad societal consequences, which affect an increasing number of cities, need intensive investigation. <br /> <br /> Using the example of German urban development, Dr. Sigrun Kabisch describes the causes and consequences of urban shrinkage. The discussion of the “Urban restructuring program” as the political answer to urban shrinkage draws attention to the complex linkages in urban development. In particular, housing demolition as one reaction to shrinkage can bring about new urban land use patterns including more green and open spaces on the one hand, but also psychological stress situations for the affected inhabitants on the other. <br /> <br /> Based on this finding, Dr. Kabisch argues, we need new thinking about urban development. A comprehensive approach with context sensitivity is necessary to discover and use the opportunities of urban shrinkage. In this vein, accepting shrinkage as an urban pathway can help to develop the affected cities in a more sustainable way.</div>  </div> <b>Sigrun Kabisch </b>is Professor and head of the Department of Urban Environmental Sociology at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research in Leipzig, Germany.</div>  </div> Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Allemagne décroissance développement urbain espace urbain forme urbaine Germany Kabisch Sigrun occupation du sol politique urbaine Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Wagner School of Public Service and Provost Dianne Rekow of NYU’s Polytechnic Institute invite you a book party for author Jonathan Soffer discussing his new book, Ed Koch and the Rebuilding of New York City .

By the end of his mayoral run in 1989, and despite the Wall Street crash of 1987, his administration had begun rebuilding neighborhoods and infrastructure. For better or worse, Koch's efforts convinced many New Yorkers to embrace a new political order subsidizing business, particularly finance, insurance and real estate and privatizing public space. Ed Koch and the Rebuilding of New York City recasts Koch's legacy through personal and mayoral papers, authorized interviews and oral histories, and plots a history of New York City through two rarely studied, yet crucial decades: the bankruptcy of the 1970s and the recovery and crash of the 1980s.</div>  </div> Ed Koch and the rebuilding of New York City</a>. </i></div>  </div> Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource gestion locale gouvernance histoire urbaine Koch Ed New York politique de la ville politique urbaine renouvellement urbaine Soffer Jonathan twentieth century vingtième siècle Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Professor Gordon is the author of two previous monographs, Dead on Arrival: The Politics of Health Care in Twentieth Century America (Princeton University Press, 2004) and New Deals: Business, Labor, and Politics in America, 1920-1935 (Cambridge University Press, 1994). Mapping Decline breaks new ground not only in our understanding of the decay of the American inner-city, but also in its use of quantitative data in combination with GIS mapping technologies. The book is full of beautiful maps that paint a vivid, if somewhat depressing, picture of American urban history. Philip J. Ethington of the University of Southern California calls Mapping Decline “a searing indictment of policymakers, realtors, and mortgage lenders for deliberate decisions that sacrificed their own city of St. Louis on the altar of race.” That it is.</div>  </div> <b>Marshall Poe </b>is Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of History at the University of Iowa.</div> <b>Colin Gordon </b>is a Professor and Chair of the Department of History at the University of Iowa.</div>  </div> available online</a>.</div>  </div> Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource centre-ville décroissance États-Unis Gordon Colin histoire urbaine Poe Marshall race SIG St Louis United States ville en déclin Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He claimed that modern society, and particularly life in concentrated urban-industrial areas like Paris, left people without the sense of belonging that characterized “traditional” life. Durkheim was not alone in thinking that there was something fundamentally sick-making about modernity. Marx called the modern malady “alienation” (Entfremdung), Weber called it “disenchantment” (Entzauberung), and Freud called it “discontent” (Unbehagen). The more general term used in fin de siècle Europe was “neurasthenia,” a condition of nervous exhaustion caused by the frenetic pace of modern life.<br /> <br /> The theory that modernity was pathological was put to the test on several occasions in the early twentieth century. One of the earliest was the Paris flood of 1910. It’s the subject of Jeffrey H. Jackson‘s wonderfully told tale Paris Under Water: How the City of Light Survived the Great Flood of 1910 (Palgrave-MacMillan, 2010). By Jackson’s revealing lights, social science did not fare very well. When the Seine river literally rose up out of the ground and over its banks, things in Paris did not fall apart as Durkheim, Marx, Weber, and Freud might have predicted. Far from it: the Parisians generally pulled together, fought the rising waters, and helped one another. They were not “normless,” “alienated,” “disenchanted,” or “discontented.” They knew just who they were: French citizens. They knew just what to do: lend a hand. And they knew just why they did it: national duty. This isn’t to say that some sort of ideal democracy magically emerged out of the flood waters. It didn’t. As is always the case, people in desperate situations do desperate (and often stupid) things. The deluge ripped the veneer of normalcy from daily life and revealed underlying conflicts. But more than anything else the Paris flood revealed the remarkable strength of modern republican nation-states. Unlike their much praised “traditional” counterparts—the monarchies of early modern Europe—they did not fall apart when put under significant strain. They cohered and even grew stronger.<br /> <br /> We shouldn’t think, however, that this solidarity was an entirely good thing. National unity had a much darker side, as would be shown only a few years later. Nations are often very good at helping themselves, as the Paris flood demonstrated. But they are also very good (if “good” is the right word) at fighting other nations, as was demonstrated with horrible clarity in World War I and World War II.</div>  </div> <b>Marshall Poe </b>is Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of History at the University of Iowa.</div> <b>Jeffrey H.

David Roediger of the University of Illinois raves that “Meticulously researched and engagingly written, Newark tells an important story.”</div>  </div> NYU Press</a> : </b></div>  </div> Newark’s volatile past is infamous. The city has become synonymous with the Black Power movement and urban crisis. Its history reveals a vibrant and contentious political culture punctuated by traditional civic pride and an understudied tradition of protest in the black community. Newark charts this important city's place in the nation, from its founding in 1666 by a dissident Puritan as a refuge from intolerance, through the days of Jim Crow and World War II civil rights activism, to the height of postwar integration and the election of its first black mayor.<br /> <br /> In this broad and balanced history of Newark, Kevin Mumford applies the concept of the public sphere to the problem of race relations, demonstrating how political ideas and print culture were instrumental in shaping African American consciousness. He draws on both public and personal archives, interpreting official documents - such as newspapers, commission testimony, and government records—alongside interviews, political flyers, meeting minutes, and rare photos.<br /> <br /> From the migration out of the South to the rise of public housing and ethnic conflict, Newark explains the impact of African Americans on the reconstruction of American cities in the twentieth century.</div>  </div> <b>Kevin Mumford</b> is Associate Professor of History and African American studies at the University of Iowa.</div> <b>Marshall Poe </b>is Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of History at the University of Iowa.</div>  </div> Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource conflit urbain histoire urbaine Mumford Kevin Newark Poe Marshall politique de la ville race ségrégation urbaine
