4522P URBAN REG-Ptrev/Gk 1111 22221 Urban and Regional 3 4 Technology Planning 5 6 7 8 9 1011 1 2 3111 Urban and Regional Technology Planning focuses on the practice of relational 4 planning and the stimulation of local city-regional scale development planning 5 in the context of the global knowledge economy and network society. Kenneth 6 Corey and Mark Wilson explore the dynamics of technology-induced change 7 that is taking place across many cities and regions as information society 8 evolves. The book reveals to the reader the new local and regional planned 9 development opportunities and potential of the global knowledge economy, 20111 laying special emphasis on the practicalities of the ALERT Model constructed 1 by Corey and Wilson. This model suggests that local community stakeholders 2 must raise their consciousness about the competitive position of the planning 3 region in the global knowledge economy before local planners can engage in 4 effective development planning today. Corey and Wilson focus their model on 5 digital development and propose ways that representatives of the region can 6 strategize for future intelligent development. Local and regional actor activa- 7 tion, empowerment and creativity are central to successful plan implementation 8 under the ALERT Model. 9 30111 Kenneth E.

Hanley New York City College of Technology, City University of New York, US Steve Graham Department of Geography, Durham University, UK Simon Marvin SURF, Salford University, UK From the earliest times, people settling in cities devised clever ways of moving things: the materials they needed to build shelters, the water and food they needed to survive, the tools they needed for their work, the armaments they needed for their protection – and ultimately, themselves. Twenty-first century urbanites are still moving things about, but now they employ networks to facili- tate that movement – and the things they now move include electricity, capital, sounds, and images. The Networked Cities Series has as its focus these local, global, physical, and virtual urban networks of movement. It is designed to offer scholars, prac- titioners, and decision-makers studies on the ways cities, technologies, and multiple forms of urban movement intersect and create the contemporary urban environment.

It is indeed a psychosomatic phenomenon of the community, and as such is replete with inner conflicts and apparent contradictions. ” (GOTTMANN, 1973: 15) Abstract: This paper analyses Gottmann’s spatial model in relation to his complex biography which took place during some of the great historical changes of the 20 th century. In particular, it relates the concept of Megalopolis to his theoretical writings in political geography. The development of the latter ones could not be fully understood without reference to his “transhumance” between the two sides of the Atlantic from 1941 to 1961. Key-words: Gottmann, atlantic transhumance, spatial theory, Megalopolis, political geography. Résumé: LA “T RANSHUMANCE ” A TLANTIQUE DE JEAN GOTTMANN ET LE DEVELOPPEMENT DE SA THEORIE SPATIALE – Cet article analyse le modèle spatial de Jean Gottmann en relation avec sa complexe biographie, tout au long de certains des grands changements du XX e siècle. Nous développons, en particulier, la relation entre le concept de Mégalopolis et ses écrits théoriques en géographie politique. Le développement de la pensée de Gottmann doit prendre en compte, pour être compris, sa “transhumance” entre les deux côtés de l’Atlantique qui a eu lieu de 1941 à 1961.

  • The Enduring Importance of National Capital Cities in the Global Era
    URBAN AND REGIONAL University of RESEARCH Michigan COLLABORATIVE Working Paper www.caup.umich.edu/workingpapers Series URRC 03-08 The Enduring Importance of National Capital Cities in the Global Era 2003 Scott Campbell Urban and Regional Planning Program College of Architecture and Urban Planning University of Michigan 2000 Bonisteel Blvd. Ann Arbor, MI 48109-2069 [email protected] Abstract: This paper reports on the early results of a longer comparative project on capital cities. Specifically, it examines the changing role of national capital cities in this apparent global era. Globalization theory suggests that threats to the monopoly power of nation-states and the rise of a transnational network of global economic cities are challenging the traditional centrality of national capital cities. Indeed, both the changing status of nation-states and the restructuring world economy will reshuffle the current hierarchy of world cities, shift the balance of public and private power in capitals, and alter the current dominance of capitals as the commercial and governmental gateway between domestic and international spheres. However, claims in globalization theory that a new transnational system of global cities will make national boundaries, national governments and national capitals superfluous, albeit theoretically provocative, are arguably both ahistorical and improvident. Though one does see the spatial division of political and economic labor in some modern countries, especially in federations (e.g., Washington-New York; Ottawa-Toronto; Canberra-Sydney; Brasilia-Sao Paolo), the more common pattern is still the co- location of government and commerce (e.g., London, Paris, Tokyo, Seoul, Cairo). The emergence of global cities is intricately tied to the rise of nation-states -- and thus to the capital cities that govern them.

  • Handbook of the American Association of Geographers
    Handbook of the American Association of Geographers About the AAG Logo The AAG logo consists of a world map on the Berghaus Star projection within two concentric circles containing the name of the organization and the year of its founding (1904). The Association adopted the logo in 1911. Star projections were developed in Austria and Germany in the second half of the nineteenth century. The Berghaus Star projection, developed in 1879 by Hermann Berghaus at the Perthes publishing house in Gotha, Germany is a modification of earlier star projections. It retains the polar azimuthal characteristics of its predecessors, but interrupts the southern hemisphere only five times (at longitudes 16, 88, and 160 degrees West, and 56 and 128 degrees East). The earlier star projections interrupted the southern hemisphere at eight longitudes. 1 CONSTITUTION OF THE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN GEOGRAPHERS (Updated July 2020) I. Name. The name of the organization shall be the Association of American Geographers. II. Objectives. The objectives of the Association shall be to further professional investigations in geography and to encourage the application of geographic findings in education, government, and business. The Association shall support these objectives by promoting acquaintance and discussion among its members and with scholars in related fields by stimulating research and scientific exploration, by encouraging the publication of scholarly studies, and by performing services to aid the advancement of its members and the field of geography. The Associa- tion shall receive and administer funds in support of research and publication in the field of geography. III. Membership 1. Individual Members. Persons who are interested in the objectives of the Association are eligible for membership and shall become Members upon payment of dues and satisfaction of the Association’s Member eligibility policies.

  • Jean Gottmann 1915-1994
    Jean Gottmann 1915-1994 RON JOHNSTON, HUGH CLOUT and PETER HALL This is to appear in Geobiobibliographies NOT TO BE CITED WITHOUT THE AUTHORS’ PERMISSION 1. EDUCATION, LIFE AND WORK Born in October 1915 at Kharkov in the Ukraine, Iona (Jean) Gottmann was a member of an affluent Jewish family of industrialists with many international connections. He lost both his parents (Elie and Sonia-Fanny) who were murdered when their home was robbed in 1917, but was rescued by a widowed aunt who took him north to Saint Petersburg. They soon moved on to Moscow, and then to Sebastopol where his guardian married Michel Berchin, with whom they escaped to Paris through Constantinople and Marseille. Berchin worked as a critic for a Russian journal and raised Jean in a polyglot household that welcomed distinguished artists, musicians, writers and politicians. The young man studied at the Lycées Montaigne and Saint-Louis, where one of his teachers was Dr Elicio Colin, a geographer who was a frequent contributor of notes and reviews to the Annales de Géographie and had many connections with the Sorbonne. Jean initially read law at university but was rapidly converted to geography, which had to be studied with history. His many interests extended into philosophy, political science and colonial affairs, and he was especially impressed by the ideas of André Siegfried and Emile-Félix Gautier. Training at the Institut de Géographie was delivered by the physical geographer Emmanuel de Martonne (son- in-law of Paul Vidal de La Blache), the human geographer Albert Demangeon, newcomer André Cholley (who specialised on regional geography) and the venerable Augustin Bernard, whose courses were devoted to French North Africa and colonial geography.
