Story
Die Wohnungsfrage ist die soziale Frage unserer Zeit. Wohnungen sind zu reinen Spekulationsobjekten verkommen. Hohe Nachfrage und sogenannte Zwangssanierungen lassen die Mieten explodieren und zwar nicht nur in den Großstädten, sondern auch im Umland. Caren Lay nimmt die deutsche Wohnungspolitik der letzten 20 Jahre schonungslos unter die Lupe. Sie zeigt, wie und warum Deutschland zum Eldorado für Wohnungsspekulanten werde konnte, und liefert provokante Ideen für eine soziale Wohnungspolitik, die wir so dringend brauchen.

Story
Natur- und Artenschutz sind in aller Munde, aber ein Aspekt, der unsere Natur massiv bedroht, wird dabei meist außer Acht gelassen: Die Lichtverschmutzung – das künstliche Licht, das unsere Städte und Dörfer erhellt. Alle Rhythmen der Natur sind letztlich abhängig vom Wechsel zwischen Tag und Nacht. Fällt dieser Wechsel weg, weil die Nacht verschwindet, dann hat das gravierende Folgen. Vögel singen in allzu heller Umgebung mitten in der Nacht.

Story
Often overshadowed by San Francisco, its larger and more glamorous twin, Oakland has a fascinating history of its own. From serving as a major transportation hub to forging a dynamic manufacturing sector, by the mid-twentieth century Oakland had become the urban center of the East Bay. Hella Town focuses on how political deals, economic schemes, and technological innovations fueled this emergence but also seeded the city's postwar struggles.

Story
La decisión de cancelar el aeropuerto que había empezado a construirse en Texcoco durante la administración de Peña Nieto, sin duda fue “el sello, el punto de partida, el pecado original” del gobierno de Andrés Manuel López Obrador. En este libro documentado con suficiencia y valioso para el debate público, quien fuera secretario de Comunicaciones y Transportes revela los pormenores de tal determinación tan polémica, sosteniendo que desde su concepción el NAICM fue un proyecto sin futuro, plagado de anomalías estructurales que tarde o temprano lo harían estallar.

Story
In April 1938, Swift River Valley residents held a farewell ball to mark the demise of the quintessential New England town of Enfield and its three smaller neighbors, Greenwich, Dana, and Prescott. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts sacrificed these three towns to build the Quabbin, a massive reservoir of drinking water for residents of Boston. Three prominent residents attended the somber occasion.

Story
Nation’s Metropolis describes how the national capital region functions as a metropolitan political economy. Its authors distinguish aspects of the Washington region that reflect its characteristics as a national capital from those common to most other metropolitan regions and to other capitals. To do so, they employ an interdisciplinary approach that draws from economics, political science, sociology, geography, and history.

Słynie jako miasto mostów. Zachwyca architekturą. Uwodzi i obiecuje moc ekscytujących wrażeń. Wrocław od lat niczym niepokojąco piękna kobieta urzeka i skrywa sekrety... Tamara Barriga z pasją i odwagą wnika w nieodkryte dotąd tajemnice Wrocławia. Zdradza, dlaczego w Mrówkowcu mieszka się luksusowo i… nieznośnie. Opowiada o ludziach, którzy wyróżniali się mądrością, pracowitością, a w końcu zapisali się w historii miasta i nie tylko: profesor Alzheimer, Otfrid Foerster – lekarz Lenina, Sir Gutmann – ojciec igrzysk paraolimpijskich czy profesor Tołpa – wierzący w leczniczą moc torfu.

Story
The term "guerrilla" may bring to mind a small band of armed soldiers, moving in the dead of night on a stealth mission. In the case of guerilla gardening, the soldiers are planters, the weapons are shovels, and the mission is to transform an abandoned lot into a thing of beauty. Once an environmentalist's nonviolent direct action for inner-city renewal, this approach to urban beautification is spreading to all types of people in cities around the world.

This book is the first anthology to explore the connection between race and the suburbs in American cinema from the end of World War II to the present. It builds upon the explosion of interest in the suburbs in film, television, and fiction in the last fifteen years, concentrating exclusively on the relationship of race to the built environment. Race and the Suburbs in American Film is a stimulating resource for considering the manner in which race is foundational to architecture and urban geography, which is reflected, promoted, and challenged in cinematic representations.

Like other river towns upstate, it was a 20th-century economic powerhouse that fueled the wealth and reputation of the Empire State.
