Governing Smart Specialisation

Governing Smart Specialisation

In recent years smart specialisation has been a key building block of regional economic and development policy across the European Union. Providing targeted support for innovation and research it has helped identify those areas of greatest strategic potential developing mechanisms to involve the fullest range of stakeholders before setting strategic priorities and using the policy to maximize the knowledge-based potential of a region or territory. Governing Smart Specialisation contributes to the emerging debate about the role of the ‘entrepreneurial discovery process’ (EDP) which is at the heart of smart specialisation strategies for regional economic transformation. Particular focus in placed on what methods procedures and institutional conditions are necessary in order to generate information that helps buttress policy decisions. It draws on existing literature that analyses the relevance of EDP within smart specialisation for regional policy. Chapters are complemented with case studies about regions with different geographical and socioeconomic characteristics in Europe: from Norwegian regions to the Greek region of East Macedonia and Thrace. As one of the first books to directly address the EDP this is essential reading for students interested in regional economics public policy urban studies and technology innovation as well as for policy makers in regional and national administrations.

Smart Growth and Sustainable Transport in Cities

Smart Growth and Sustainable Transport in Cities

This book delves into the urban planning theory of “smart growth” to encourage the creation of smart cities where compact urban spaces are optimized to create transit-oriented pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly areas with a clear focus on developing a sustainable humanistic transport system. Over the last century increased demographic changes and use of motor vehicles in the wake of “urbanization” led to the rapid expansion of cities giving rise to economic social and environmental problems. Sprawls and extension into natural areas caused a scattered urban context replete with empty spaces. This book provides an effective solution to this with an overview of the historical application of smart growth principles as a response to the issue of sprawling cityscapes and sheds light on the theoretical information and methodologies used by cities to re-develop the urban landscape. It also encloses a checklist for practitioners and decision makers to inform the developmental process and integrate smart growth strategies into land use planning. This book effectively engages with the global problem of urban sprawl in cities and hence will be an asset to both urban planning professionals and graduate and postgraduate students of urban studies and the related disciplines. | Smart Growth and Sustainable Transport in Cities

Digital and Smart Cities

Digital and Smart Cities

Digital and Smart Cities presents an overview of how technologies shape our cities. There is a growing awareness in the fields of design and architecture of the need to address the way that technology affects the urban condition. This book aims to give an informative and definitive overview of the topic of digital and smart cities. It explores the topic from a range of different perspectives both theoretical and historical and through a range of case studies of digital cities around the world. The approach taken by the authors is to view the city as a socially constructed set of activities practices and organisations. This enables the discussion to open up a more holistic and citizen- centred understanding of how technology shapes urban change through the way it is imagined used implemented and developed in a societal context. By drawing together a range of currently quite disparate discussions the aim is to enable the reader to take their own critical position within the topic. The book starts out with definitions and sets out the various interpretations and aspects of what constitutes and defines digital cities. The text then investigates and considers the range of factors that shape the characteristics of digital cities and draws together different disciplinary perspectives into a coherent discussion. The consideration of the different dimensions of the digital city is backed up with a series of relevant case studies of global city contexts in order to frame the discussion with real world examples.

The Empirical and Institutional Dimensions of Smart Specialisation

The Empirical and Institutional Dimensions of Smart Specialisation

Smart specialisation is the new policy approach to the development of regional innovation systems across Europe and it involves fostering innovative and entrepreneurial initiatives which are well tailored to the local context. The different technologies skills profiles business activities institutions and sectors which reflect a region’s economic strengths and potential are to be fostered and encouraged to diversify in ways which also exploit the region’s linkages with broader global value-chains. Yet the ideas contained in the smart specialisation agenda have until now been primarily conceptual in nature. The Empirical and Institutional Dimensions of Smart Specialisation draws together some of the leading regional economists and scientists in Europe to analyse how smart specialisation is working in practice. This book investigates different dimensions of the agenda as it is developing across parts of Europe from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives. The quantitative analysis examines the nature of the diversification processes undertaken by regions and the interplay between the chosen local regional development priorities and the wider global value-chain impacts of these choices. Meanwhile the qualitative analysis examines the institutional opportunities and challenges facing policy makers and the key elements most likely to provide the underpinnings of a workable set of policy settings. The book is aimed both at academic researchers interested in the interface between economic geography and regional innovation systems as well as at policy makers making public policy decisions related to regional development at the local city regional or national levels.

Smart Transitions in City Regionalism Territory Politics and the Quest for Competitiveness and Sustainability

Smart Transitions in City Regionalism Territory Politics and the Quest for Competitiveness and Sustainability

In recent years smartness has risen as a buzzword to characterize novel urban policy and development patterns. As a result of this debates around what smart actually means both theoretically and empirically have emerged within the interdisciplinary arenas of urban and regional studies. This book explores the changes in discourse rationality and selected responses of smartness through the theme of transition. The concept of transition provides the broader context and points of reference for adopting smartness in reconciling competing interests and agendas in city-regional governance. Using case studies from around the world including North America Europe and South Africa the authors link external regime transition in societal values and goals with internal moves towards smartness. While reflecting the growing integration of overarching themes and analytical concerns this volume further develops work on smartness smart growth transition city-regionalism governance and sustainability. Smart Transitions in City Regionalism explores how smart cities and city regions interact with conventional state structures. It will be of great interest to postgraduates and advanced undergraduates across urban studies geography sustainability studies and political science. | Smart Transitions in City Regionalism Territory Politics and the Quest for Competitiveness and Sustainability

Games and Play in the Creative Smart and Ecological City

Games and Play in the Creative Smart and Ecological City

This book explores what games and play can tell us about contemporary processes of urbanization and examines how the dynamics of gaming can help us understand the interurban competition that underpins the entrepreneurialism of the smart and creative city. Games and Play in the Creative Smart and Ecological City is a collection of chapters written by an interdisciplinary group of scholars from game studies media studies play studies architecture landscape architecture and urban planning. It situates the historical evolution of play and games in the urban landscape and outlines the scope of the various ways games and play contribute to the city’s economy cultural life and environmental concerns.

On the Commodity Trail The Journey of a Bargain Store Product from East to West

On the Commodity Trail The Journey of a Bargain Store Product from East to West

Following the journey of eight bargain store objects Alison Hulme reveals the complex story behind society’s simplest and cheapest commodities. Inspired by Walter Benjamin’s Arcades Project On the Commodity Trail explores the colourful and fascinating histories of everyday objects. Along the way we observe raw materials on municipal rubbish dumps in China newly re-made products in the world’s largest wholesale market and take a journey across the seas to bargain stores in Europe and North America arriving finally in the homes of consumers. Weaving together narratives from the people we meet at different parts of the commodity chain – waste peddlers wholesalers store owners and shoppers – the book examines the places and people at the heart of these localized yet immense global networks. Unlike other investigations of commodity chains this study does not chart a straightforward trajectory from production to consumption. Instead it demonstrates that the low-end commodity chain is one of constant rupture in which products are made and re-made blurring the dividing line between producing and consuming. An ethnography of material culture as well as an examination of commodity culture at a time of economic downturn this deeply-engrossing book makes a unique contribution to our understanding of commodity chains and consumer culture. | On the Commodity Trail The Journey of a Bargain Store Product from East to West

Frankenstein Urbanism Eco Smart and Autonomous Cities Artificial Intelligence and the End of the City

Frankenstein Urbanism Eco Smart and Autonomous Cities Artificial Intelligence and the End of the City

This book tells the story of visionary urban experiments shedding light on the theories that preceded their development and on the monsters that followed and might be the end of our cities. The narrative is threefold and delves first into the eco-city second the smart city and third the autonomous city intended as a place where existing smart technologies are evolving into artificial intelligences that are taking the management of the city out of the hands of humans. The book empirically explores Masdar City in Abu Dhabi and Hong Kong to provide a critical analysis of eco and smart city experiments and their sustainability and it draws on numerous real-life examples to illustrate the rise of urban artificial intelligences across different geographical spaces and scales. Theoretically the book traverses philosophy urban studies and planning theory to explain the passage from eco and smart cities to the autonomous city and to reflect on the meaning and purpose of cities in a time when human and non-biological intelligences are irreversibly colliding in the built environment. Iconoclastic and prophetic Frankenstein Urbanism is both an examination of the evolution of urban experimentation through the lens of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and a warning about an urbanism whose product resembles Frankenstein’s monster: a fragmented entity which escapes human control and human understanding. Academics students and practitioners will find in this book the knowledge that is necessary to comprehend and engage with the many urban experiments that are now alive ready to leave the laboratory and enter our cities. | Frankenstein Urbanism Eco Smart and Autonomous Cities Artificial Intelligence and the End of the City

The New Woman's Film Femme-centric Movies for Smart Chicks

The New Woman's Film Femme-centric Movies for Smart Chicks

With the chick flick arguably in decline film scholars may well ask: what has become of the woman’s film? Little attention has been paid to the proliferation of films often from the independent sector that do not sit comfortably in either the category of popular culture or that of high art––films that are perhaps the corollary of the middle-brow novel or smart-chick flicks. This book seeks to fill this void by focusing on the steady stream of films about and for women that emerge out of independent American and European cinema and that are designed to address an international female audience. The new woman's film as a genre includes narratives with strong ties to the woman’s film of classical Hollywood while constituting a new distinctive cycle of female-centered films that in many ways continue the project of second-wave feminism albeit in a modified form. Topics addressed include: The Bridges of Madison County (Clint Eastwood 1995); the feature-length films of Nicole Holofcener 1996-2013; the film roles of Tilda Swinton; Rachel Getting Married (Jonathan Demme 2008); Blue Jasmine (Woody Allen 2013); Frances Ha (Noah Baumbach 2012) Belle (Amma Asante 2013) Fifty Shades of Grey (Sam Taylor-Johnson 2015) and Jane Campion’s Top of the Lake (Sundance Channel 2013-). | The New Woman's Film Femme-centric Movies for Smart Chicks

The Age of Intelligent Cities Smart Environments and Innovation-for-all Strategies

The Age of Intelligent Cities Smart Environments and Innovation-for-all Strategies

This book concludes a trilogy that began with Intelligent Cities: Innovation Knowledge Systems and digital spaces (Routledge 2002) and Intelligent Cities and Globalisation of Innovation Networks (Routledge 2008). Together these books examine intelligent cities as environments of innovation and collaborative problem-solving. In this final book the focus is on planning strategy and governance of intelligent cities. Divided into three parts each section elaborates upon complementary aspects of intelligent city strategy and planning. Part I is about the drivers and architectures of the spatial intelligence of cities while Part II turns to planning processes and discusses top-down and bottom-up planning for intelligent cities. Cities such as Amsterdam Manchester Stockholm and Helsinki are examples of cities that have used bottom-up planning through the gradual implementation of successive initiatives for regeneration. On the other hand Living PlanIT Neapolis in Cyprus and Saudi Arabia intelligent cities have started with the top-down approach setting up urban operating systems and common central platforms. Part III focuses on intelligent city strategies; how cities should manage the drivers of spatial intelligence create smart environments mobilise communities and offer new solutions to address city problems. Main findings of the book are related to a series of models which capture fundamental aspects of intelligent cities making and operation. These models consider structure function planning strategies toward intelligent environments and a model of governance based on mobilisation of communities knowledge architectures and innovation cycles. | The Age of Intelligent Cities Smart Environments and Innovation-for-all Strategies

Smart on Crime The Struggle to Build a Better American Penal System

Smart on Crime The Struggle to Build a Better American Penal System

The most punitive era in American history reached its apex in the 1990s but the trend has reversed in recent years. Smart on Crime: The Struggle to Build a Better American Penal System examines the factors causing this dramatic turnaround. It relates and echoes the increasing need and desire on the part of actors in the American government system to construct a penal system that is more rational and humane. Author Garrick L. Percival points out that the prison boom did not naturally emerge as a governmental response to increasing crime rates. Instead political forces actively built and shaped the growth of a more aggressive and populated penal system. He is optimistic that the shifting political forces surrounding crime and punishment can now reform the system explaining how current political actors can craft more constructive and just policies and programs. The book shows how rationality and humanitarianism lead to a penal system that imprisons fewer people does less harm to the lives of individual offenders and those close to them and is less expensive to maintain. The book presents empirical data to concretely demonstrate what is working and what is not in today’s penal system. It closely examines policies and practices in Texas Ohio and California as comparative illustrations on what progress has been made or needs to be made in penal systems across the United States. The book includes a comprehensive discussion of highlighted issues and relates more than two dozen interviews with pivotal political actors who clarify why there is a major shift underway in the American penal system. Their insights reveal paths that can be taken to improve the current penal system. | Smart on Crime The Struggle to Build a Better American Penal System

Sexuality Intimacy Power Classic Edition

Sexuality Intimacy Power Classic Edition

This book offers Dimen’s classic take on psychosexuality drawing on relational theory feminism and postmodernism with a new foreword by Virginia Goldner and Velleda Ceccoli honouring the late Muriel Dimen and introducing a new audience to her profound legacy. For Dimen the shift from dualism to multiplicity that has reshaped a range of disciplines can also be brought to bear on our thinking about sexuality. She urges us to return to the open-mindedness hiding between the lines and buried in the footnotes of Freud’s writings and to replace the determinism into which his thought has hardened with more fluid notions of contingency paradox and thirdness. By unveiling the colloquy among psychoanalysis social theory and feminism Dimen challenges clinicians and academicians alike to rethink ideas about gender eroticism and perversion. She explores among other topics the relations between lust and libido; the limitations of Darwinian thought in theorizing homosexuality; the body as projective test; and the intimate tangle of love and hate between women. Generous clinical examples illustrate the ways in which a radical re-visioning of psychosexuality benefits therapists and patients alike. A brilliant example of contemporary psychoanalytic theory at its destabilizing best Sexuality Intimacy Power covers both clinical insights and theoretical rethinking that is invaluable for psychoanalysts psychotherapists and students of women’s gender and queer studies. | Sexuality Intimacy Power Classic Edition

A History of Early Film V2 An Established Industry (1907-14)

Volume 2 of A History of Early Film examines filmmaking and presentation during the latter part of the early cinema period. Technology did not stand still during these years and despite problems with editing synchronization and amplification many auditoria were fitted with sound-film equipment during the early cinema periods. Much of the discussion in the trade magazines revolved around economic and commercial subjects including expenses incurred in complying with new laws and the damage caused by irresponsible promoters. Among the material included is a complete reprint of the 1913 edition of Colin Bennett's The Handbook of Kinematography. Technical production is covered with a section on micro-kinematography tele-kinematography and general natural history filming. Film exhibition is also discussed and a final chapter covers coyright and censorship. | A History of Early Film V2 An Established Industry (1907-14)
