Résumé:
Urbanisation and urban development are the focus of this comprehensive account which introduces readers to the far-reaching changes now taking place in Chinese cities. New and established scholars from the fields of geography, sociology and urban planning, including Chinese social scientists, contribute chapters on the development of Chinese cities up to the turn of the twenty-first century. All their work reflects the most recent scholarship. The book's original approach links the visible changes in urban life to changes in the larger political economy of China. Conversely, broad concepts that are central to understanding the country's re-emergence on the world stage, such as the transition from socialism, market reform, and globalization, are made tangible in their effects on people's daily lives in Chinese cities and in detailed examination of how these cities have developed. Case materials are drawn from all China's major cities, but particular attention is paid to Shanghai and Hong Kong.

Résumé:
EUROPAN, founded in 1989, and supported by thirteen countries in the European Union, runs a competition every two years and invites young architects to submit innovative and experimental models in urban development. The 2019 EUROPAN competition focused on the topic productive cities and involved more than nine hundred planning teams from all over Europe, who prepared proposals for forty-seven towns. This book features the twelve winning submissions to the 2019 edition for the Austrian cities Graz, Innsbruck, Villach, Weiz, and Vienna. They are presented in impeccable detail through photos, drawings, and visualizations, along textual commentary. The projects focus on architectural and urban planning interventions and processes. They offer innovative concepts for the use of public space, models for cross-functional use of space, and holistic solutions for sustainable construction. Taken as a whole, the book is a rich source of trendsetting ideas about our future cities and the development of a new urban lifestyle.

Résumé:
Countering the phenomenon of sprawl in the often anonymous or chaotic urban periphery, the Oassis neighborhood in Lausanne takes a unique approach based on urbanity and hybridization. Located on a former industrial wasteland in the west of the city, Oassis reflects the compositional principles of the traditional city, while also engaging in the dynamics of ecological transition and climate resilience. This ‘'urban fragment'’ is both an urban fabric, compatible with future developments in the neighborhood, and an architectural object characterized by urbanity. The contemporary challenges of regenerating suburban areas are addressed here through diverse development programs and a profusion of gardens.

Résumé:
In the Netherlands, climate change has brought more frequent and extreme rainfall causing pluvial flooding. Though the Dutch have dealt with water for centuries, since the Industrial Revolution urban water systems have become very inflexible and are now unable to deal with these new conditions. Despite the long tradition of building in wet and soft soil conditions, there has been little systematic research on building-site preparation and its relation to urban development and design. This book addresses this issue by investigating the relation between the available technology, the attitude towards the natural conditions and the urban design.

Résumé:
In the 19th century railroads and canals provided both structure and motor for city development. This role has been taken over today by the global flow of data and products, as the author argues. The author describes the current development and its impact on architecture, landscape architecture and urbanism. Flow of material and communication is the DNA of contemporary environments. This development has enormous and partially unfathomable implications for our city fabric. Logistics networks and their complex structure increasingly bear upon many urban spheres. Counter trends to the ubiquitous internet retail trade – to name one of the most palpable phenomena – are gaining momentum as well, exemplified by the criticism of labor conditions in e-commerce and the trend to buy regional products from local stores.
