Summary:
Wei Li documents the processes that have evolved with the spatial transformation of the Chinese American community of Los Angeles and that have converted the San Gabriel Valley into ethnoburbs in the latter half of the twentieth century, and she examines the opportunities and challenges that occurred as a result of these changes. The concept of the ethnoburb has redefined the way geographers and other scholars think about ethnic space, place, and process. This book will contribute significantly to both theoretical and empirical studies of immigration by presenting a more intensive and thorough "take" on arguments about spatial and social processes in urban and suburban America.

But as Carl H. Nightingale shows us in this history, segregation is everywhere, deforming cities and societies worldwide. Starting with segregation’s ancient(...)

Summary:
When we think of segregation, what often comes to mind is apartheid South Africa, or the American South in the age of Jim Crow—two societies fundamentally premised on the concept of the separation of the races. But as Carl H. Nightingale shows us in this history, segregation is everywhere, deforming cities and societies worldwide. Starting with segregation’s ancient roots, and what the archaeological evidence reveals about humanity’s long-standing use of urban divisions to reinforce political and economic inequality, Nightingale then moves to the world of European colonialism. This publication lays bare our troubled past, and sets us on the path to imagining the better, more equal cities of the future.

Summary:
Nestled between Santa Monica and Marina del Rey, Venice is a Los Angeles community filled with apparent contradictions. There, people of various races and classes live side by side, a population of astounding diversity bound together by geographic proximity. From street to street, and from block to block, million dollar homes stand near housing projects and homeless encampments; and upscale boutiques are just a short walk from the (in)famous Venice Beach where artists and carnival performers practice their crafts opposite cafes and ragtag tourist shops. In Venice: A Contested Bohemia in Los Angeles Andrew Deener invites the reader on an ethnographic tour of this legendary California beach community and the people who live there. In writing this book, the ethnographer became an insider; Deener lived as a resident of Venice for close to six years. Here, he brings a scholarly eye to bear on the effects of gentrification, homelessness, segregation, and immigration on this community.

Summary:
In The Great Reset , author Richard Florida provides an examination of previous economic epochs, or "resets." He distills the deep forces that have altered physical and social landscapes and eventually reshaped economies and societies. Looking toward the future, Florida identifies the patterns that will drive the next Great Reset and transform virtually every aspect of our lives — from how and where we live, to how we work, to how we invest in individuals and infrastructure, to how we shape our cities and regions. Florida shows how these forces, when combined, will spur a fresh era of growth and prosperity, define a new geography of progress, and create surprising opportunities.

A three-year enterprise is charted in this volume that chronicles the editors’ survey of their architectural colleagues, which asked them to identify problems in their cities and seek solutions for them. This series of projects received considerable public attention and media and the study digs deeper, exploring new possibilities for dialogue regarding public space that exists between the triumvirate of architects, municipal officials, and the general public. The collected interviews focus mainly on exhibitions in major cities such as Bratislava in Slovakia or Prague and Brno in the Czech Republic, as well as blogs and presentations surrounding individual projects. Illustrating these projects as processes that can bring about significant progress in the field, this discussion divides its content between the texts of the featured architects and the details of the 60 projects in question. This edition is written in both English and Slovak.
