4. Publications
"Urban Justice and Sustainability", a special issue, Local Environment: The International Journal of Justice and Sustainability, Vol. 14, No. 5, May 2009. The special issue is based on the RC21 2007 Vancouver conference. A few more papers from the same con- ference will also appear in the same journal in the subsequent issue.
Ranvinder Singh Sandhu, Jasmeet Sandhu and Balwinder Arora: Urban Poverty in De- veloping Countries. Issues and Strategies for Sustainable Cities (2009, Bookwell). ISBN: 978-81-89649-85-9 Urbanization got an impetus during 1980s and 1990s due to advances in transportation and telecommunication and further momentum was provided by globalization. During this period many Asian Countries experienced both economic boom and population increase. UN HABITAT (2006) pointed out that Asia and Africa will host largest urban population in 21st century and cities will continue to be sites of extreme inequality. It is feared that Asian cities may not be able to cope with the ongoing urbanization and urbanization of poverty further adds to the challenges. This edited volume addresses to the challenges thrown by urban poverty for sustainable cities in developing countries and also presents some strategies adopted in these countries to deal with these challenges. The volume contains seventeen articles which are divided into three sections. Section-1, entitled 'Urban Poverty in Developing Countries: Some Issues', contains five articles dealing with urban poverty and delineates certain issues related to it. Section-II, entitled 'Urban Pov- erty in India: Empirical Reality', contains five articles which present the empirical situation of urban poverty in India. Section-III, entitled 'Urban poverty and Strategies for Sustain- able Cities', anthologizes seven articles dealing with some strategies to grapple with the problem of urban poverty in developing countries and the outcome of these efforts. All these efforts to achieve sustainable cities are not producing desired results. Cities can- not be sustainable if rural areas, neighborhoods and communities are not sustainable. So focus must shift to these settlements as well.
Call for a contribution to a book „The Global Financial Crisis and the city-new spaces of socio-economic disadvantage‟
Edited by Scott Baum
Proposed Bentham e-book in the Series ‗Contemporary issues in the social and human geography of the city‘
There can be little doubt that one of the most talked about issues of our time is the cur- rent global economic crisis. How this crisis will impact on the cities of the world is of inter- est, especially as the rate of urbanisation at a global scale continues unabated and the

reach of the downturn continues. The global financial crisis will likely impact across several interlinked arenas, but is likely to have impacts and the shape and distribution
of social equity, inclusion and exclusion in cities on a global scale.
Cities of the past have been under increasing pressure as a result of a range of factors including economic, demographic and policy impacts. The current economic crisis will refocus interest in understanding the social vulnerability of cities and may raise ques- tions about the social sustainability of our current city forms and the lives of residents in disparate communities. This edited book will build on a rich history dedicated to un- derstanding the big social questions that are associated with cities and urban life. Sev- eral key themes are suggested for inclusion in this edited book: social concentration and segregation in the city experiences of social exclusion and inclusion impacts of globalization and cosmopolitanism on city life social justice, civil society and civic renewal The dynamics of urban labour markets, including skill shortages, migrant labour, unem- ployment, and workplace relations;
Being an e-book we can expect publication early in 2010 and so would be looking for contributions to be finalised by November.

5. Job announcements
The University of Luxembourg invites applications for the following vacancy in its Fac- ulty of Language and Literature, Humanities, Arts and Education, for its Research Unit IPSE A Professor in Social Sciences (M/F) Specialised in migration (ref. FLSHASE/F3-080001) Full-time (40 hours per week)
IPSE (Identités. Politiques, Sociétés, Espaces) is a multi and transdisciplinary research unit studying society and its developments over time and in space. It responds to the needs of Luxembourg society to reflect upon itself, in order to understand the important evolutions that society is currently experiencing in its double context of the ―Grande Région‖ and of the European Union. The Unit comprises researchers from the fields of history, geography and spatial plan- ning, literature and linguistics, the arts, philosophy, political and social sciences. The main objective is to study, in a comparative way, the construction of new identities seen as a plural and dynamic concept as well as its correlations of diversity and integration. Luxembourg with its quite heterogeneous society, a challenge but also an opportunity, could in this way be a unique test case in the European area.
Activities: Actively implement and develop research in the priority research area ―Etudes Luxem- bourgeoises‖ of the University of Luxembourg, and the research of the interdisciplinary research unit IPSE (Identités. Politiques, Sociétés, Espaces).
Focus areas in research and teaching will be: Sociology of migration and integration policies Border studies Social structures and social milieus Pluri – and transculturalism
The methodological approach will be strongly empirical. The Professor will deal with the migration issues in Luxembourg and in the Greater Region. The fields of research mentioned above will be the subject of lectures and seminars to be introduced into the BA and MA programmes already operating as well as future ones (―Bachelor in Euro- pean cultures‖; ―Master in Luxemburgish language, literatures and cultures‖,…). She/he will also supervise PhD students.

6. Obituary
Pat Mullins
Pat died on 3 September 2008 after a long battle against Multiple System Atrophy. Pat was very active on the international scene and will be remembered by many RC21 members.
I first came across his work as one of his PhD examiners in the late 1970s and later he spent a sabbatical leave at the University of Kent. His doctoral study of the anti-freeway movement in Brisbane led to important papers in IJURR (1979) and Sociological Re- view (1987). For example, counter-intuitively, he showed the irrelevance of prior social networks to the mobilization of residents into the movement.
He then developed an idea suggested by Ivan Szelenyi (in Dear and Scott) about the role of the state in Australian economic and urban development. This led to two papers in ANZJS (1981a and 1981b) whose importance was that they captured the distinctive- ness of Australian economic and urban development rather than apply a ready-made analysis from Western Europe or North America.
This led Pat on to some original thinking about the petite bourgeoisie in Australia and about tourism urbanization. (See his seminal papers in IJURR, 1989 and 1991). In this regard, Pat was one of the first scholars to identify the emergent blending of life style, investment and mobility especially in relation to the making of new kinds of ‗places‘ de- voted primarily to pleasure and consumption. His work in this area was taken further with colleagues at the University of Queensland in extensive analyses of the changing character of the South East Queensland metropolitan area.
Pat was actively involved in Australian urban and regional scholarship and a stalwart of RC21, serving as Board member and Newsletter Editor.
Most recently, in 2002, he organized a very successful set of RC21 sessions at the 2002 World Congress of Sociology, Brisbane.
Pat was a warm companion and will also be remembered for his encyclopedic memory of the network of scholars of which he was part (who was trained where and when, who worked where and when, who they taught etc.) He will be greatly missed.
Our thoughts go out to his wife Chris and daughter Caitie.
