Peripheries
\n<\/strong>A section edited by M. Cremaschi<\/em><\/p>\n

Peripheriesis a section which proposes glances at world cities dynamics and issues. Each article gives you an idea of the current policies and trasformations underway.\u00a0Freely borrowing from Latour, editor suggests that cities \u201chave never been modern\u201d: modernity has tried to reconfigure them, but never successfully.
\nThe section thus explores the\u00a0informal modernity\u00a0of the peripheries of the world. More precisely, it investigates the decalage between urbanity and urbanism, analyzing both urban development and policies. The focus is on the description of the new combination of factors which lies behind the unending change of present-day “invisible cities”.\u00a0The new entries of the section, pointed with red colour
\non the maps are: Marseille, Dehli, Tel Aviv, and Calcutta, presented below.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Extraordinary Calcutta
\n<\/strong>by <\/strong>M. Cremaschi<\/em><\/p>\n

The latest article of <\/span>Peripheries <\/em>deals with Kolkata’s city core and its public policies.
\n<\/span>For fifty years the city has been supporting, and sometimes forcing, the divorce of the middle and upper classes from traditional neighbourhoods. Salt Lake city, the Eastern bypass, Rayarhat are the following steps of a progressive estrangement from the city core.
\n<\/span>At the same time, in the last 50 years, Kolkata has received massive waves of refugees, immigrants and re-settlers, often invading the porous space, and the neglected places of the existing neighborhoods: this has produced the most extraordinary social mix ever seen in a city<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\nWalking and Looking at the City with “different eyes” from Naples to Milan
\n<\/strong>by S. Belotti, I. Castelnuovo, S. Colucci, V. Inguaggiato, G. Pessina and M. Cinque
\n<\/em>Photos by F. Secchi<\/em><\/p>\n

The contemporary city is richer in contradictions than the cities of the past. New populations, new habits, new ways of living the city question our urban experience and suggest to look at the city “with different eyes” and with new sensibilities. Through Nomicosecitt\u00e0 we stimulate a new gaze on cities, on their heritage and on their life, while we cross them with both our bodies and our ideas and we reflect on a wider idea of “beauty”.
\nThe act of walking<\/em> through the city becomes a movement between different urban geographies and various populations that make the walkers aware of the variety of possible views on the contemporary city.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The international scientific conference “Between architecture of war and military urbanism” is the 10th edition of the annual series of Urban and Landscape Days.\u00a0The idea behind the theme of 2013 is to facilitate a creative and critical interrogation of links between the political economy of war, the transfer of military practices and technologies to urban realm, and the ‘architectures of war’, such as military bases, fortifications and refugee camps, which comprise a largely forgotten topic in planning and planning. To explore
\nlinks\u00a0between theory and practice, we invite a broad variety of presentations from scientific papers to artistic research and non-standard forms to the following tracks: I)\u00a0Urban built environments; II)\u00a0Spatial technology; III)\u00a0Political economy of land.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Beyond Smart Cities.
\nHow Cities network, learn and innovate
\nby T. Campbell
\n<\/strong>
\nPublished by Earthscan Publications Ltd., 2012<\/p>\n

The\u00a0promise of competitiveness and economic growth in so-called smart cities is widely advertised in Europe and the USA. The promise is focussed on\u00a0global talent and knowledge economies\u00a0and not on learning and innovation. But to really achieve smart cities (that is to create the conditions of continuous learning and innovation) this book argues that there is a need to understand what is below the surface<\/em> and to examine the mechanisms which affect the way cities learn and then connect together.\u00a0This book draws on quantitative and qualitative data with concrete case studies to show how networks already operating in cities are used to foster and strengthen connections in order to achieve breakthroughs in learning and innovation.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Planning Olympic Legacies.
\nTransport Dreams and Urban Realities
\nby\u00a0E. Kassens-Noor<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Published by\u00a0Routledge, Taylor & Francis, 2012<\/p>\n

When a city wins the right to hold the Olympics, one of the often cited advantages to the region is the catalytic effect upon the urban and transport projects of the host cities. In fact, transport dreams to stage the “perfect games” of the International Olympic Committee and the governments of the host cities have lead to urban realities that significantly differ from the development path the city had set out to accomplish before winning the Olympic bid. The book focuses on the inside story of the urban and transport change process undergone by four cities – Barcelona, Atlanta, Sydney, and Athens<\/em> – that staged the Olympics and forecasts London and Rio de Janeiro\u2019s urban trajectories.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The Urban Code of China.
\nby\u00a0D. Hassenpflug
\n<\/strong>
\nPublished by\u00a0Birkh\u00e4user Verlag, 2011<\/p>\n

When reading the Chinese city, which this book sets out to do,\u00a0it is not the well-known cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Xi’an that are in the focus of attention, but rather the essentially Chinese of the Chinese city, those characteristics or attributes that are more or less shared by all Chinese cities.\u00a0The spotlight is on their spatial grammar, their syntax, in short: their code.\u00a0Deciphering the code of the Chinese city also enables the author to ‘read’ new Chinese towns designed by Western architects.\u00a0Thus, readers are provided with valuable insight on China’s booming urbanization and urban development.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
