Al-Kodmany, Kheir, Placemaking with Tall Buildings: A Guide to Ten Key Planning and Design Principles. 256 pp. 2025:12 (Routledge, UK) <755-915>
ISBN 978-1-041-00874-3 hard ¥42,267.- (税込) GB£ 145.00
ISBN 978-1-041-00498-1 paper ¥11,656.- (税込) GB£ 39.99

Placemaking with Tall Buildings confronts a pressing challenge in contemporary urbanism: the rapid proliferation and unprecedented heights of tall buildings have strained the spatial, social, and cultural frameworks essential to successful placemaking. The book reconceptualizes tall buildings as civic agents that deliver spatial legibility, cultural significance, and vibrant social interaction by embedding placemaking at the heart of vertical development. Drawing on global case studies, rigorous field research, and foundational urban theories, it articulates ten pragmatic planning and design principles that explain how holistic, context-sensitive design can weave vertical structures into their surrounding fabric, fostering inclusivity, environmental responsiveness, and a distinct sense of place. Richly illustrated with carefully curated photographs, this work equips architects, planners, policymakers, and students with a comprehensive toolkit to transform tall buildings from isolated monuments into dynamic, human-centered environments. By showcasing strategies for interior and exterior placemaking, adaptive programming, and community engagement, it offers a roadmap for ensuring that vertical development not only shapes skylines but also enriches urban life at every spatial scale.

New York City: The Basics offers an accessible look at the dynamic and diverse hub of New York City. Written in a clear, engaging style, the book discusses geographic, historic, demographic, socioeconomic, housing, and governmental aspects in the Big Apple.Since the mid-20th century, New York City has been competing against other global and major cities, including London and Tokyo, primarily driven by global financial and securities markets. Its enormous concentration of capital, as well as its varied and resilient economy, has contributed to its prominent status and its glittering skyline, exemplifying the city's transition from blue-collar manufacturing to a knowledge-based economy. As a cultural capital, the city encompasses an extensive cluster of publishing companies, high-end shopping, a wide variety of unique art scenes, and a pulsating nightlife that includes Broadway shows, exhibits, and fashion events. The chapters touch on different topics, from the history to the demography and immigration, the economy, housing, government and governance, and the city's exceptionalism, ending with an overview of the five boroughs of the city.This book serves as a valuable guide for undergraduate and graduate students in geography, urban studies, urban affairs, and urban planning, and would be an excellent resource for anyone planning a field trip to New York City.

Baudelle, Guy / Boulineau, Emmanuelle (coord.), Mapping the Spatial Divisions of Europe. (Geography and Demography: The World in Its Divisions) 304 pp. 2025:8 (Wiley-ISTE, UK) <755-918>
ISBN 978-1-78945-181-8 hard ¥35,211.- (税込) US$ 165.00

The European continent has given rise to the greatest number of spatial divisions. Its limits have provoked numerous debates, both within and outside of the continent. The European Union, for its part, has become a laboratory for the production of divisions. Each of these divisions, a vector of identity and territoriality, reflects an intentionality, as revealed in Mapping the Spatial Divisions of Europe. The book shows the multiplicity of forms and modalities of these divisions and the actors who produce, use and question them in a globalized, and reticular world. From the continent as a whole to the individual regions via metropolitan areas and their networks, from meshing to zoning, from regionalization to representations, this book explores how these divisions are used to govern, plan, imagine and build European territories beyond the heritage of states and their borders. The chapters shed new light on the theoretical and practical issues involved in carving Europe on different time and space scales.

Biagi, Francesco (ed.), Renewing Urban Critical Theories: Rediscovering Thinkers, Reimagining Texts, and Reframing Questions. (Critiques and Alternatives to Capitalism) 286 pp. 2025:11 (Routledge, UK) <755-919>
ISBN 978-1-032-63979-6 hard ¥42,267.- (税込) GB£ 145.00

This book presents an interdisciplinary and international re-evaluation of urban critical theories, bringing together key perspectives from around the world on contemporary urban studies.Engaging with a wide range of issues related to the urban question-including urban sprawl, housing, and the accelerating rates of urbanization globally-it weaves together interconnected dimensions of urban inequality, analyzing how class, gender, and race serve as fundamental axes shaping contemporary social phenomena. The book also possesses a crucial capacity to integrate various interrelated issues within urban studies while fostering dialogue between established scholars and emerging researchers, ultimately seeking to move beyond the confines of the Global North by devoting only one-third of its content to this context, while emphasizing perspectives from other regions and problematizing the Imperialism issue in an urban context. Additionally, it aspires to offer a book that not only serves an academic audience but also possesses a broader, accessible character, appealing to politically engaged individuals, including those involved in progressive political parties and social movements.As such, the volume will appeal to scholars across disciplines, as well as politically-engaged individuals, who are interested in critical theoretical analyses of contemporary urban and spatial transformations, as well as the phenomenon of planetary urbanization. Its primary objective is to bring together diverse perspectives and ongoing debates on the urban question.

Cobo Corey, Adriana, Mending Privately Owned Public Spaces: Works on Taste and Spatial Practice. 300 pp. 2025:12 (Routledge, UK) <755-921>
ISBN 978-1-032-87754-9 hard ¥42,267.- (税込) GB£ 145.00
ISBN 978-1-032-87752-5 paper ¥11,656.- (税込) GB£ 39.99

This book is motivated by a simple observation: Privately Owned Public Spaces, or POPS, are overlooked sites when it comes to exploring the subject of taste in architecture and urban design. The book unpacks the intricate world that unfolds from this thought, while arguing that taste is a missing key in current spatial practice discourse.Successful POPS are often presented as desirable additions to urban redevelopment projects in cities across the world. This perception often overshadows, and sometimes dismisses, some of the more damaging impacts that the establishment of POPS has on the social tissue of specific localities and social groups, and more generally on the socio-political dynamics of cities. Within the fields of architecture and urban design, high regard for specific urban regeneration projects with POPS at their heart tends to ignore their inherently divisive social impact. This, in turn, strengthens an often-legitimised belief that analysing, questioning and re-aligning such impact falls outside the realm of these professions. This book explores how successful POPS are sustained through, amongst other maintenance practices, carefully managed aesthetic codes, largely dependent on showcasing the aesthetic value of highly controlled programs of use. This specific practice turns POPS into revealing sites when it comes to exploring taste in the context of spatial practice. Why don't we talk about taste in socially engaged practice today? Does a focus on aesthetics pose an ethical dilemma between superficiality and depth for practitioners in the face of persistent social inequity?

ISBN 978-1-032-54044-3 paper ¥11,656.- (税込) GB£ 39.99

This timely exploration of social geography reveals how inequality and justice unfold across interconnected scales around the globe. Through embodied, relational encounters, the book unpacks how everyday spaces shape who we are and what we might become. Grounded in care and hope, it invites readers to imagine fairer futures and remain committed to meaningful, long-term change.The text offers a dynamic, case-driven and sometimes image-driven exploration of pressing social issues in our increasingly unequal, post-pandemic world. Designed for student engagement, the book provides real-world case studies that span the globe, critical concepts, and thought-provoking questions to help readers analyse injustice, build conceptual "toolkits," and imagine routes toward meaningful social change. Rather than offering easy answers, this book equips readers with flexible, practical frameworks-encouraging selective, critical thinking to better understand and communicate complex social problems. Ideal for classroom use and independent study, it empowers students to connect theory with action and to think like geographers committed to justice. The book also includes Engagement Questions, encouraging readers to reflect on the subject of the chapter and the wider topics within the field of social geography.This book is essential reading for students of social and political geography, and allied fields of urban, health and wellbeing, and political geographies.

Fariman, Mahsa Alami / Lee, Chien et al. (eds.), City, Public Space, and Body: The Embodied Experience of Urban Life. (Routledge Research in Planning and Urban Design) 206 pp. 2025:11 (Routledge, UK) <755-923>
ISBN 978-1-032-66238-1 hard ¥42,267.- (税込) GB£ 145.00

City, Public Space, and Body offers a timely and interdisciplinary examination of how bodies experience, shape, and are shaped by urban life, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.Bringing together contributions from scholars, artists, and practitioners across diverse geographies, the book explores the entangled relationships between urban space, embodiment, and publicness through a variety of methodological lenses including ethnography, visual and performative arts, and critical urban theory. The book highlights underexplored themes such as gendered vulnerability, spatial justice, post-pandemic public space, and marginalised urban bodies in both Global North and South contexts. By focusing on lived experience and embodied methodologies, the book challenges dominant urban narratives and contributes fresh perspectives on space, care, power, and resistance. It will benefit readers seeking to rethink cities not merely as physical or functional entities, but as affective and contested terrains of social life.Designed for researchers, students, and professionals in urban studies, sociology, planning, architecture, gender studies, and cultural geography, this collection foregrounds the bodily and sensory dimensions of urban encounters, spatial politics, and everyday life.

Fassari, Letteria G. / Loew, Martina (eds.), The Social Quality of Public Space: Integration, Strategy, Subjectivation. (The Refiguration of Space) 286 pp. 2025:11 (Routledge, UK) <755-924>
ISBN 978-1-032-95424-0 hard ¥42,267.- (税込) GB£ 145.00
ISBN 978-1-032-95426-4 paper ¥11,656.- (税込) GB£ 39.99

This book examines the concept of quality from a social perspective. Using the example of public spaces, it demonstrates the analytical and practical benefits that can be gained from an experience-based approach to defining quality.Sociology and related social sciences have rarely explored the quality of spaces, despite qualities being social products. This has led to a clear research gap in understanding spatial quality within social theory. Addressing this gap, this book examines public space quality through a cultural-spatial lens, accounting for the complexity of polycontexturalization, which implies the increasing entanglement of social actions in multiple contexts and spatialities, as well as the materiality of spatial arrangements. Moreover, it introduces the sociologically useful distinction between Erfahrung (reflective experience) and Erlebnis (lived experience) into the analysis of spatial quality. The book's concept is based on the idea that social experience comprises multiple logics. It is shown that the quality of public space is driven by three distinct logics: the logic of expression, evident in individuals' drive for social integration; the logic of strategy, viewing public space as a competitive arena; and finally, the logic of subjectivation, which examines how spaces shape subjectivities and are subject to refiguration.The book targets both researchers and students in sociology, anthropology, political science, architecture, and urban planning. It also serves as a practical toolbox for professionals in architecture and planning focused on creating more socially acceptable public spaces.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC-BY) license.

Karunaratne, Gihan (ed.), Mapping: Narratives, Practices and Spatial Inquiry. (Routledge Research in Planning and Urban Design) 354 pp. 2025:11 (Routledge, UK) <755-926>
ISBN 978-1-032-93420-4 hard ¥42,267.- (税込) GB£ 145.00

Mapping has evolved beyond navigation into a method for interpreting spatial, ephemeral, and sociopolitical dimensions of contemporary life. This volume explores how cartographic practices are being reimagined across disciplines to understand and reconfigure urban space.The essays examine mapping as both representational and generative, spanning participatory mapping in informal settlements, film-based documentation of marginalized geographies, embodied cartographies, and data-driven analysis. Organized into five sections-Representation, Critical Cartographies, Mapping Belonging, Performative Cartographies, and Data Mapping-the collection highlights methodological and layered dimensions of contemporary mapping. By interrogating traditional cartography, the book emphasizes maps' role in constructing social realities and navigating contested urban terrains. Contributors demonstrate mapping as an engagement practice that reveals hidden geographies, amplifies marginal voices, and reimagines spaces.This volume challenges readers to reconsider mapping as an interdisciplinary practice and mode of inquiry that can transform our understanding of complex environments and social dynamics. It will be of interest to researchers and students of urban design, architecture, planning, human geography, politics, and sociology.

Malaia, Kateryna / Hutson, Nathan M. (eds.), Protests Beyond the Plaza: Everyday Spaces, Urban Morphologies, and Strategies. 210 pp. 2025:12 (Routledge, UK) <755-928>
ISBN 978-1-032-85385-7 hard ¥42,267.- (税込) GB£ 145.00
ISBN 978-1-032-85384-0 paper ¥11,656.- (税込) GB£ 39.99

The chapters in this volume investigate some of the most important urban upheavals in recent history through different political, social and cultural contexts. Through this cross section of case studies from Ukraine, Belarus, Myanmar, Lebanon, Spain, United States, South Korea and Iran, authors envision the future of the successful urban protest as a whole-society movement in which all aspects of a city's morphology are effectively leveraged. The volume illustrates the ways in which these protests consciously and subconsciously drew lessons from each other's experiences and integrated physical and virtual tools. Urban environments shape, facilitate, and/or complicate protests and the degree to which protesters recognize and internalize these features is often key to their efficacy. Moreover, emerging protest strategies proliferate and change to fit the context in which they occur. Using interviews, mapping, architectural and planning-scale documentation of urban morphologies, this volume traces the development of important protests and the evolution of protest strategy in balancing the physical and the virtual. It will be of interest to architects, urban sociologists, urban planners, historians, political scientists, journalists, and anyone else interested in how the city shapes resistance.

N'Goala, Gilles / Paulhiac Scherrer, Florence et al. (eds.), The Smart and Resilient City: Models and Ways of Life. (Science, Society and New Technologies Series) 304 pp. 2025:8 (Wiley-ISTE, UK) <755-930>
ISBN 978-1-78630-998-3 hard ¥35,211.- (税込) US$ 165.00

While advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI) and data infrastructures offer solutions for improving urban management and quality of life a priori, they also raise major challenges and risks. This book explores the constituent dimensions of the so-called smart city from two singular angles: the new uses stimulated by innovations and the needs that these innovations fill (mobility, food, culture, tourism, housing, etc.). Based on research carried out by the CitUs International Chair in collaboration with the cities of Montpellier and Montreal, The Smart and Resilient City explores the impact of digital, ecological and social transformations on urban management and the lives of city dwellers. It provides essential and engaging reading for the academic community in cities in transition, helping public and private decision-makers to develop new territorial projects that combine innovation with individual and collective well-being.

Zhu, Rui / Newman, Galen (eds.), Vacant Land Regeneration: Novel Strategies for Maximizing Local Impact. 270 pp. 2025:12 (Routledge, UK) <755-934>
ISBN 978-1-041-04366-9 hard ¥42,267.- (税込) GB£ 145.00
ISBN 978-1-041-02910-6 paper ¥11,656.- (税込) GB£ 39.99

Vacant Land Regeneration: Novel Strategies for Maximizing Local Impact provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of vacant land regeneration through the lens of influential research, groundbreaking case studies, and future trends, and equips readers with the knowledge needed to transform vacant spaces into valuable community assets. The regeneration of vacant and abandoned urban land is a critical challenge facing both urbanized, urbanizing, and un-urbanizing regions. Nearly 150 large cities worldwide are experiencing intense depopulation or are shrinking due to urban decline, post-industrial shifts, dwindling populations, and poor land management practices. As cities confront this growing issue, a significant shift in urban development approaches is emerging, one that moves away from an exclusive focus on growth and instead prioritizes quality of life, sustainability, and resilience. The book is structured into four key sections, each reflecting a major area of research and practice in vacant land regeneration: urban policy and classifications; ecosystem services and resilience; remediation and public health; and community engagement. With insights from key researchers and urban planners, this book inspires a transformative approach to urban development, one that fosters healthier, greener, and more resilient cities. It is an essential resource for both scholars and practitioners in the field of urban regeneration.

Obaid, Mustafa, City and Identity in Modern Iraq: Baghdad and Nation Building. (Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern Geography) 294 pp. 2026:1 (Routledge, UK) <755-833>
ISBN 978-1-032-94777-8 hard ¥42,267.- (税込) GB£ 145.00

City and Identity in Modern Iraq examines the role of Baghdad in the process of shaping collective identity and analyzing how different visions of citizenship have changed the face of the city. Since the establishment of the modern state in 1921, the capital city, was central to questions of belonging and the country's social stability. Each phase of the city's history offers insights into processes of identity and nation-building that can be found nowhere else.The book traces Baghdad's evolution from being a "melting pot" for all Iraqis to becoming epicenter of division after 2003. The focus is on the era following the American occupation and how the city regained its role in constructing inclusive visions of nationality in recent years. Due to the lack of suitable methodologies, the new concept of "cultural capacity" is developed and implemented here. It serves as a tool to analyze the city's cultural heterogeneity, the accessibility of its spaces for social interaction and the visibility it offers to different forms of belonging on the micro, mezzo and macro levels. The spaces with the highest relevance for these processes are thoroughly documented to provide insights from the everyday perspective of life. Findings are used to anticipate Baghdad's role, especially after the end of the last wave of ethnoconfessional violence and the Tahrir uprising in October 2019.It will be useful for readers and institutions with an interest in Iraq, "the Middle East" or the Arabic-Islamic World. Furthermore, it aims to appeal to researchers and professionals from the disciplines of geography, architecture, urban studies, sociology, political sciences, history, heritage, and cultural studies.

Lockwood, Sarah J., Making Protest: The Role of Protest Brokers in South Africa's Urban Landscape. 195 pp. 2026:3 (Cambridge U. Pr., UK) <755-844>
ISBN 978-1-009-55584-5 hard ¥27,692.- (税込) GB£ 95.00

Why do some communities rise up in protest while others stay silent? In Making Protest Sarah J. Lockwood takes readers into the heart of urban South Africa - the world's so-called protest capital - to uncover the hidden figures behind modern mobilization: protest brokers. These intermediaries link political elites with ordinary citizens, enabling movements that might otherwise never ignite. Drawing on over two years of immersive fieldwork, unique life histories, surveys, and original datasets, Lockwood reveals how brokers shape where, how, and why protests happen - and why some efforts succeed while others fizzle. As a result, this study challenges how we think about activism, power, and the machinery behind social change. With important insights on democracy, protest, and the politics of everyday life, this book exposes the unseen networks driving collective actions - and why understanding them is vital in our era of rising global dissent.

Charnock, Greig / Mansilla, Jose / Ribera-Fumaz, Ramon, The Politics of Late Urban Entrepreneurialism: The Innovation District. (RIPE Series in Global Political Economy) 188 pp. 2025:11 (Routledge, UK) <755-390>
ISBN 978-1-032-76662-1 hard ¥42,267.- (税込) GB£ 145.00

The Politics of Late Urban Entrepreneurialism provides a critical examination of how innovation district transformation in Barcelona has led to periodic crisis and an overproduction of commercial real estate alongside a chronic housing shortage, gentrification, touristification, and a growth in low quality employment, among other damaging results.Today, innovation districts are widely seen as a disruptive, but generative solution to post-industrial decline and inefficient land use in urban centres, and as an effective means of bringing inclusive economic dynamism, quality jobs and improved public spaces to city neighbourhoods. Their advocates often point to the pioneering transformation of the 22@ District. This book challenges the celebratory discourse surrounding the Barcelona case, and with a critical eye on how innovation district transformation is conditioned by the prevailing global political-economic context. It also chronicles how this transformation has continually ignited forms of class-based struggle in Barcelona by embattled residents angered at how their own neighbourhood has been used as an urban laboratory and site for speculative forms of capital accumulation. Ultimately, this book challenges the notion that 'innovation' is always a beneficent force through a critical examination of the disruptive consequences of innovation district transformation, by engaging with existing literature and interrogating the dominant narratives that celebrate them as being universally beneficial. Instead, it underscores the tensions and contradictions inherent in them.With its focus on the historical development of global capitalism and the retention of a narrow repertoire of entrepreneurial approaches toward urban governance, The Politics of Late Urban Entrepreneurialism will be of great interest to scholars and students researching globalisation and urbanisation.

Jonek-Kowalska, Izabela / Michalak, Aneta, Sustainable Finance and Smart Cities. (Routledge Advances in Regional Economics, Science and Policy) 196 pp. 2025:12 (Routledge, UK) <755-270>
ISBN 978-1-041-06273-8 hard ¥42,267.- (税込) GB£ 145.00

The development of Smart Cities (SC) is inextricably linked to the need to obtain financing for both current projects and long-term investments. Issues related to the financing of Smart Cities, raising funds, their capital structure or financing risks are underexplored, and are de-scribed in a fragmented manner, with reference to individual initiatives or projects. This book argues that the creation of Smart Cities requires a long-term and holistic approach towards financing strategies. It systematizes the issues related to Smart City financing and develops a financing model that considers a lasting, systematic, and complete approach to the development of Smart City solutions. It identifies the opportunities and risks associated with the various sources of financing and the risks of financing in the developed model, and presents complex issues related to urban finance in a structured manner. The book characterizes project and collective financing, (crowdfunding, associations, and foundations), as innovative forms of fundraising and examines the cost of capital and risk vs. green and sustainable financing. The book is illustrated with accessible analyses and practical examples. This book is a comprehensive reference for students and scholars in the fields of public management, public finance and urban planning. It can also be used by both Smart City researchers and practitioners, such as representatives of city governments, municipal governments, and local stakeholders, in the process of analysing and selecting sources of financing for Smart City solutions.
