Cities After Crisis

"Cities After Crisis shows how urbanism and urban design is redefining cities after the global health, economic, and environmental crises of the past decades. The book details how these crises have led to a new urban vision-from avantgarde modern design to an artisan aesthetic that calls for simplicity and the everyday, from the sustainable development paradigm to a resilient vision that defends de-growth and the re-wilding of cities, from a homogenizing globalism to a new localism that values what is distinctive and nearby, from the privatization of the public realm to the commoning and self-governance of urban resources, and from top-down to bottom-up processes based on the engagement and empowerment of communities. Through a examples from cities around the world and a detailed look at the London neighbourhood of Dalston, the book shows designers and planners how to incorporate residents into the decision-making process, design inclusive public spaces that can be permanently reconfigured, reimagine obsolete spaces to accommodate radically contemporary uses, and build gardens designed and maintained by the community, among other projects"--

West Academic Publishing

This new edition of International Law Stories sets some of the most significant international law cases in their social, political, and historical contexts. The seventeen chapters―each focusing on a different controversy―and the editors’ four introductory reflections probe a range of timely questions: What is the efficacy of international law? How do international legal norms and processes intersect with national legal systems? What explains the enduring significance of some international law pronouncements? The stories are organized in four parts, about 1) the development of international human rights law, 2) regional international law, 3) the use of international law in the U.S. legal system, and 4) international law's impacts on interstate politics. International law scholars, teachers, students, and practitioners will all discover valuable new insights, and readers new to the field will find themselves quickly immersed in core international law controversies and developments.\nThe contributors to International Law Stories bring a wealth of experience and expertise to this project. They have worked as judges on international courts, legal advisors to governments, advocates before international and national courts, members of United Nations bodies, and academics.
