Maturing Governance of Urban Regeneration: Experimenting and Learning - Case Study of Guangzhou and Shenzhen in South China
(2018-06-04)
Over the last two decades, China has undergone urban regeneration at an unprecedented scale and speed, and property-led redevelopment has been widely deployed as dominant urban regeneration strategy in many Chinese cities. Meanwhile, more and more attention has been paid to the protest and resistance by parts of the civil society to the tremendous demolition and eviction during urban regeneration in China. Urban regeneration during the transformation period has been a fertile ground for the governance debate, especially ...

Brexit as a conjuncture
(2018-02-27)
This academic paper presents the results of a small-scale research project with the title “Brexit as a conjuncture”. We combine the theoretical reflection on the conjunctural tendencies in the United Kingdom (UK) since the Thatcher era with the empirical media analysis at the moment of the rupture. Unlike academic papers that discuss either political and economic reasons of Brexit (see Clarke, Goodwin and Whiteley, 2016; Arnorsson and Zoega, 2016) or its conjunctural dynamics (see Jessop, 2016), our work combines the ...

wunderbar wandelbar? Stadtraum zwischen Kontinuität und Veränderung, zwischen Beschleunigung und Irreversibilität. Kleinmaßstäbliche Aneignungsprozesse im megaurbanen Freiraum: Typen, Transformationen und Potentiale. Das Beispiel der Megastadt Guangzhou.
(2018-03-07)
Die anhaltende Transformation der südchinesischen Megastadt Guangzhou bringt eine Vielfalt von (temporär) ungenutzten Flächen hervor. Diese Brachflächen und urbane Leerstellen als ihre besondere Ausprägung stellen ein Zwischenprodukt stadträumlicher Entwicklungsprozesse und der Anpassung urbaner Systeme an sich wandelnde Anforderungen dar. Besonders häufig finden sie sich in heterogenen Gebietsstrukturen wie den Dörfern in der Stadt (urbanized villages), die durch zahlreiche Entwicklungsimpulse einem stetigen Wandel ...

Katastrophenbewältigung und Reformfähigkeit nach Hurrikan Katrina in New Orleans am Beispiel strategischer Stadtentwicklungsplanung
// Zusammenfassung:
Naturereignisse wie Hurrikans können starke Sturmböen, Regenfälle und Überschwemmungen mit sich bringen. Erst dadurch verursachen sie oftmals starke Schäden an der gebauten Umwelt der betroffenen Städte und Regionen und können somit im urbanen Kontext eine Katastrophe auslösen. In die Serie der folgenschwersten Hurrikans im ...

Freiraumplanung und Freiraumgestaltung als Instrumente der Standortpolitik in Shenzhen / China
(2018-08-14)
Seit Beginn der Reform- und Öffnungspolitik 1978 wird die Urbanisierung der Küstenräume Chinas extrem forciert. Shenzhen ist eine dabei entstandene Millionenstadt in der Mega-Region „Perlflussdelta“ im Süden Chinas. Shenzhen ist heute das Paradebeispiel für rasante Wirtschaftsentwicklung und die gesellschaftlichen und räumlichen Transformationsprozesse. Städtische Freiraumentwicklung vollzieht sich nicht nur im Rahmen von Grünplanung, sondern auch im Zusammenhang mit Stadtpolitik, Stadtökonomie und Stadtmanagement. ...

Africa’s future: Demarginalizing urban agriculture in the era of climate change
(Section Specialized Partnerships in Sustainable Food Systems and Food Sovereignty at the University of Kassel, Germany and Federation of German Scientists (VDW), 2018-06-05)
Africans are migrating to cities. With the continent’s cities projected to double in population by 2050, the issue of food insecurity in urban areas is increasingly becoming a major concern. To sustain this urban explosion, the question of how to maintain constant food supply to urban residents remains an urgent priority since these locations do not always get access to adequate food. There has, however, been little work on examining urban agriculture (UA) as an alternative means of reducing hunger in Africa, especially ...

Gott erzählen in biblischen Schriften des Alten Testaments
(2018)
In the Bible, God is one of many characters who is subject to the same principles of narrative modelling as the others. At the same time, however, God differs from other characters with regard to his transtextual attendance and the authority of his voice, which in turn influences the authority of the narrator’s voice. Biblical prophecy is conceptualized as a mediating voice between God and humans. In the narrative world, prophecy plays an important role in providing access to an otherwise inaccessible God. Moses, as ...

Sustainable rural development in Ukraine: Legal aspect
(Section Specialized Partnerships in Sustainable Food Systems and Food Sovereignty at the University of Kassel, Germany and Federation of German Scientists (VDW), 2018-12-26)
Sustainable rural development involves the attainment of a balanced development of the economic, ecological and social spheres within a community. For this purpose, the state agrarian policy should be aimed at achieving three goals: 1) food security of the state; 2) solving of social and environmental problems in rural areas; and, 3) the transformation of the agrarian sector into a highly effective, competitive domestic and foreign market economy sector of the state. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to study ...
