Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book serves as a critical
review of Social Urbanism, defined as a socio-political and practical
approach to urban globalisation, deriving from a planning strategy and
portfolio of built projects that seek to alleviate the social
consequences of urbanisation.
It emphasises both the political
processes and the urbanism projects that simultaneously consider
socio-economic and ecological components of space, and which highlight a
greater focus on social sustainability. In a context in which geography
defines space and culture, and through challenges of a global
magnitude, we are inextricably united in an era of environmental
uncertainty, where shared experiences and values place us within a
collective culture, inspiring mutual agency in service of this vision
for Social Urbanism.
Through the work presented here, Social
Urbanism is expanded as a worldview that considers the cultural values
of a given place as interconnected to the geographical landscape of the
region, and therefore, as the driving forces behind future models of
globalisation and urban growth. The points of view of multiple
colleagues and experts across differing fields provide introspection on
the implementation of Social Urbanism. These shared opinions strengthen
the significance of this work and affirm the joint values and visions
for the global urbanisation challenges we are confronting in the 21st
century, and which continue into the future.
