Summary:
Until the beginning of the nineties, the centre of Amsterdam was regarded as the obvious nucleus of urban and regional economic activity. But since then, issues of accessibility and scale have induced the development of multi-nodal spatial networks on a regional scale. In ten years' time the spatial and economic configuration of the region has changed dramatically. The development of the Zuidas in the coming thirty years offers a strategic chance to furnish this regionalization of urbanity with a new, more appealing structure. After all, the Zuidas is not only emerging as a business centre of international significance, its favourable position in the traffic and transport system provides it with optimum conditions for evolution into a varied urban-centre environment.

Summary:
Many of the projects described in the "Handbook" have combined innovative architectural training with cross-cultural immersion, social activism, and environmental science, using design skills (and where appropriate) hands-on construction projects to confront poverty and urgent social problems. Often involving community members and students, these case studies promote maximum use of recycled or inexpensive, locally available materials, as well as lighting and energy systems that reduce utility costs and promote resource conservation. Not all the projects are specific to the City of Los Angeles, but they are examples of the types of projects CITYWORKSLA hopes to develop. Our aim is that the case studies assembled within the "Handbook" will serve as models for making architectural education relevant to urgent social problems, helping communities mobilize indigenous resources and social capital to develop long-term sustainable practices that protect, rather than erode, cultural identity, dignity, and stability. Edited by Elizabeth Martin with articles by : Peter Aesbacher, Chantal Aquin, Monique Birault, John Cary, Jeanine Centuori, Joaquin Herranz, Jr., Maria-Rosario Jackson, Florence Kabwasa-Green, Bruce Lindsey, Vic Liptak, Elizabeth Martin, Ken McCown, William McDonough, Russell Rock, Leslie Thomas, John Quale.

Summary:
For hundreds of years, Ireland has been a testing ground for colonizing techniques. Postcolonial Dublin shows how perpetrators of colonialism have made use of urban planning and architecture to underscore and legitimate ideologies. From suburban development to building facades, the conflict between nationalists and colonialists has inscribed itself on Dublin’s landscape. Andrew Kincaid illustrates how the architecture and urban planning of Dublin have been integral to debates about nationalism, modernism, and Ireland’s relationship to the rest of the world. Looking at objects such as Londonderry’s Market House, Patrick Abercrombie’s Dublin of the Future, and the urban renewal project of today’s Temple Bar, Kincaid highlights Ireland’s colonial history and the significance of architecture in the evolution of national identity. In doing so, he demonstrates how ideology “spatializes” itself. Postcolonial Dublin engages the prevailing historical representations of Irish nationalism, arguing that the evolving city reflected a debate over who would hold the reins of power. Bringing the tools of literary criticism and postcolonial theory to bear on the field of urban studies, Kincaid places Dublin at the forefront of debates over modernism, modernity, and globalization.
