It offers enriching and unexpected encounters with the city, its history and its inhabitants, stimulating reflection on urban realities and, in a wider sense, the contemporary human condition. Forty-one international artists were invited to conceive new artworks strongly rooted in the urban fabric of Ghent, but linking the local context with issues of global significance. Participants include multi-media artist John Bock, performance artist and choreographer Alexandra Bachzetsis, painter Erik van Lieshout, and visual artist Mircea Cantor, among many others.

Résumé:
Los Angeles--the place without a sense of place, famous for sprawl and overdevelopment and defined by its car-clogged freeways--might seem inhospitable to efforts to connect with nature and community. But in Reinventing Los Angeles, educator and activist Robert Gottlieb describes how imaginative and innovative social movements have coalesced around the issues of water development, cars and freeways, and land use, to create a more livable and sustainable city. Gottlieb traces the emergence of Los Angeles as a global city in the twentieth century and describes its continuing evolution today. He examines the powerful influences of immigration and economic globalization as they intersect with changes in the politics of water, transportation, and land use, and illustrates each of these core concerns with an account of grass roots and activist responses: efforts to reenvision the concrete-bound, fenced-off Los Angeles River as a natural resource; "Arroyofest," the closing of the Pasadena Freeway for a Sunday of walking and bike riding; and immigrants’ initiatives to create urban gardens and connect with their countries of origin. Reinventing Los Angeles is a unique blend of personal narrative (Gottlieb himself participated in several of the grass roots actions described in the book) and historical and theoretical discussion. It provides a road map for a new environmentalism of everyday life, demonstrating the opportunities for renewal in a global city. Robert Gottlieb is Henry R. Luce Professor of Urban and Environmental Policy and Director of the Urban and Environmental Policy Institute at Occidental College in Los Angeles. He is the author of Environmentalism Unbound: Exploring New Pathways for Change (MIT Press), Forcing the Spring: The Transformation of the American Environmental Movement, and other books.

This publication offers a detailed tour of the key places of the "final migration" and explores the possibilities and pitfalls inherent in the developing new world order. From villages in China, India, Bangladesh and Poland to the international cities of the world, Doug Saunders portrays a diverse group of people as they struggle to make the transition, and in telling the story of their journeys — and the history of their often multi-generational families enmeshed in the struggle of transition — gives an often surprising sense of what factors aid in the creation of a stable, productive community.

Résumé:
The notion of impermanence underlies, to a significant extent, the urban design language of Hong Kong. The city intensely urban environment has long reflected embedded patterns of change and temporality in both its physical and cultural dimensions, a forever reconstructed city of dislocation, adaptation and imagination. These characteristics are intrinsically interwoven within Hong Kong s street and spatial patterns, producing a special sense of immediacy and transience insinuated with the fabric and memory of the city. This may stem on one hand from a philosophy of change inherent in cultural traditions, but on the other it reflects more tangible aspects of the streetscape accumulated from historical imprints, regimes of temporarily, and the constant renewal and transformation of the urban environment.

From Malibu Pier to the Hollywood Sign, from Union Station to the Beverly Hills Hotel, from MGM Studios to Musso and Frank's Grill, these locales form the geography of Chandler's imagination, and conjure a world not yet entirely vanished. Clive James wrote of Chandler's fascination with Los Angeles that when he said that it had as much personality as a paper cup, he was saying what he liked about it. But Chandler was also drawn to the Hopperesque loneliness of the city, to that sense of isolate existences that never merge.

Résumé:
Designated by King George V to replace Calcutta as capital of British India, New Delhi was constructed between 1912 and 1929 under the eye of architect Sir Edward Lutyens who sought to bring to this British colony a sense of classicism, order, and institutional beauty. With more than 300 colour and black and white illustrations, plans and photographs, this book presents the most comprehensive examination to date of how this city was envisioned, planned, and constructed. From the massive war memorial arch and resplendent sandstone and marble government house to the spacious gardens and the gloriously imposing Viceroy's House, the evidence of Lutyen’s architectural genius is everywhere throughout New Delhi. As architectural historian Andreas Volwahsen discusses the importance of Lutyen’s work he provides a fascinating account of the making of a city: the contentious debates and cultural considerations, the inspiration and the painstaking construction, and finally the ways in which New Delhi has evolved into a modern city. With the growing interest in the preservation of historic sights worldwide, this magnificently detailed yet highly accessible history is certain to become a classic in the fields of architecture and urban design.
