Urban Regeneration - Steffen Lehmann - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Urban Regeneration - Steffen Lehmann - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Urban Regeneration - A Manifesto for transforming UK Cities in the Age of Climate Change explores and offers guidance on the complex process of how to transform cities, continuing the unfinished project of the seminal 1999 text Towards an Urban Renaissance . It is a 21st-century manifesto of urban principles compiled by a prominent urbanist, for the regeneration of UK cities, focusing on the characteristics of a ''good place'' and the strategies of sustainable urbanism. It asks readers to consider how we can best transform the derelict, abandoned and run-down parts of cities back into places where people want to live, work and play. The book frames an architecture of re-use that translates and combines the complex ''science of cities'' and the art of urban and architectural design into actionable and practical guidance on how to regenerate cities. Fascinated by the typology and value of the compact UK and European city model, Lehmann introduces the concept of ''high density without high buildings'' as a solution that will make our cities compact, walkable, mixed-use and vibrant again.

Coronavirus, Class and Mutual Aid in the United Kingdom - John Preston - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Coronavirus, Class and Mutual Aid in the United Kingdom - John Preston - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book considers how the UK government''s response to the recent COVID-19 pandemic disadvantages the working class, and how mutual aid, based on anarchist principles, can be used as a force for social change. The authors draw on Marxist and anarchist thought in class theory and social movement analysis to demonstrate that the virus and its material and discursive consequences are an active part of continuing class struggle and class interpolation. Preston and Firth examine how plans for quarantine and social isolation systematically work against the needs of the working class, and rely on classed assumptions about how markets and altruism operate. In the face of neoliberal methods of dealing with a pandemic, ranging from marketization, disaster capitalism, to a strengthening of the State, Coronavirus, Class and Mutual Aid in the United Kingdom explains how radical alternatives such as social movements and mutual aid can be implemented to better cope with current and future crises.

The Fault Lines of Inequality - Huw Macartney - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Fault Lines of Inequality - Huw Macartney - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book examines how decisions made by the Conservative government during the COVID19 pandemic have increased economic inequality in the UK. Decades of austerity, asset-based welfare and financialization had already exacerbated social divisions in the UK prior to the pandemic. The political blueprint behind these measures combined Privatized Keynesianism and the Asset Economy. To explain, economists have highlighted that inequality derives from the fact that income from wealth increases at a faster rate than income from wages. The ensuing political assumption is that - in the face of pressures on public finances - promoting asset ownership is the best alternative to government-funded welfare schemes. What this meant, as the pandemic unfolded, was that when tough decisions about resource allocation needed to be made, the UK Treasury and the Bank of England found almost unlimited funds to rescue and protect asset-holders and middle-income homeowners, whilst reverting to a narrative of "misfortune" for the asset-less poor. This book assesses the political decisions taken by UK policymakers during 2020-21 and their consequences. In doing so, it challenges policymakers and the informed public to re-consider the morality of inequality, and to make alternative decisions to promote a more ecologically sustainable, caring, equal and prosperous society.

Housing in the United Kingdom - Brian Lund - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Housing in the United Kingdom - Brian Lund - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

In this book, Brian Lund builds on contemporary housing crisis narratives, which tend to focus on the growth of a younger ''generation rent,'' to include the differential effects of class, age, gender, ethnicity and place, across the United Kingdom. Current differences reflect long-established cleavages in UK society, and help to explain why housing crises persist. Placing the UK crises in their global contexts, Lund provides a critical examination of proposed solutions according to their impacts on different pathways through the housing system. As the first detailed analysis of the multifaceted origins, impact and potential solutions of the housing crisis, this book will be of vital interest to policy practitioners, professionals and academics across a wide range of areas, including housing studies, urban studies, geography, social policy, sociology, planning and politics.

Caregiving Fathers in the Workplace - Bog af Jasmine Kelland - Hardback

Caregiving Fathers in the Workplace - Bog af Jasmine Kelland - Hardback

This book explores the experiences of caregiving fathers in the UK. Conceptions of fatherhood, childcare, and work have altered over the last few decades, with many fathers taking a more active role in caregiving than before and seeking to alter their working patterns accordingly. However, such a wider involvement in caregiving for fathers can clash with traditional values about masculinity and work, which still hold sway over public opinion and workplace policies.Using quantitative and qualitative..
