  • Jean Gottmann's Atlantic “Transhumance” and The
    Finisterra, XXXIII, 65, 1998, pp. 159-172 JEAN GOTTMANN’S ATLANTIC “TRANSHUMANCE” AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF HIS SPATIAL THEORY LUCA MUSCARÀ 1 “ ...territory, although a very substantial, material, measurable and concrete entity, is the product and indeed the expression of the psychological features of human groups. 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.

  • Planning, Projects, Practice
    Planning, Projects, Practice A Human Geography of the Stockholm Local Investment Programme in Hammarby Sjöstad Jonas R Bylund Department of Human Geography Stockholm University 2006 Abstract Programmes and policies to support ecological sustainable development and the practice of implementation is a question of innovation rather than known and taken for granted procedure. This thesis argues a priori models concern- ing stability in the social sciences, and human geography especially, are less able to help us understand this practice and planning in such unstable situa- tions. Problematic in common understandings of planning and policy imple- mentation concerning sustainability are the dualisms between physical-so- cial spaces and between rationality-contingency. The first dualism makes it hard to grasp the interaction between humans and nonhumans. The second dualism concerns the problem of how to capture change without resorting to reductionism and explanaining the evolving projects as either technically, economically, or culturally rational. The scope of the thesis is to test resources from actor-network theory as a means of resolving these dualisms. The case is the Stockholm Local In- vestment Programme and the new district of Hammarby Sjöstad. The pro- gramme’s objective was to support the implemention of new technologies and systems, energy efficiency and reduced resource-use as well as eco-cy- cling measures. The case-study follows how the work with the programme unfolded and how administrators’ efforts to reach satisfactory results was approached. In doing this, the actors had to be far more creative than models of implementation and traditional technology diffusion seem to suggest. The recommendation is to take the instrumentalisation framing the plasticity of a project in planning seriously – as innovativeness is not a special but the general case.

  • Ag2184 New Urban Sociology & Environmental Psychology
    AG2184 6.0 credits NEW URBAN SOCIOLOGY & Urbanism Studies ENVIRONMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY ABE / KTH FOR URBAN DESIGN Spring 2017 COURSE COORDINATORS Dr. Hélène Littke, Urban and Regional Studies, KTH | [email protected] Dr. Pernilla Hagbert, Urban and Regional Studies, KTH | [email protected] EXAMINER Dr. Tigran Haas, Urban and Regional Studies, KTH | [email protected] COURSE DESCRIPTION Urban Sociology and Environmental Psychology are interdisciplinary fields focused on the sociological study of life and human interaction in urban areas and the interplay between individuals and their surroundings. The course explores the interdependent role cities play in the development of society as a whole, along with the changing character of urbanity. Students are first introduced to key theoretical formulations and models in the area of environmental psychology related to people and places, such as personal space, place attachment, place identity, behavioral settings, environmental restoration, affordances, cognitive maps and wayfinding and others. Relationships between the physical environment, natural and human-made, and the behavior of human beings are studied in-depth; focusing on perceptual, cognitive, and motivational aspects of the human-environmental interaction. The course especially focuses on applications of behavioral studies in urban design projects. The course then goes on to explore theories surrounding urban societal development, starting with the Modern sociological “classics” that shaped urban theory and practice during the 20th century, and followed by a critical review of the issues related to urban (re)development we face today, including aspects of social and environmental (in)justice, gentrification, and “urban sustainability”. The course addresses urban politics, economic systems and housing markets, democracy and participation in public policy processes, and questions of class, gender, ethnicity, and culture in relation to urban environments.

    A SYSTEMS APPROACH TO HISTORIC PRESERVATION IN AN ERA OF SUSTAINABILITY PLANNING ©2012 Erica Christine Avrami ALL RIGHTS RESERVED A SYSTEMS APPROACH TO HISTORIC PRESERVATION IN AN ERA OF SUSTAINABILITY PLANNING by ERICA CHRISTINE AVRAMI A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Planning and Public Policy written under the direction of Robert W. Lake and approved by ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Systems Approach to Historic Preservation in an Era of Sustainability Planning by ERICA CHRISTINE AVRAMI Dissertation Director: Robert W. Lake, Ph.D. The public outcry over large scale urban renewal projects of the mid-20th century served a catalytic role in the codification of the modern historic preservation movement in the United States. While theories of heritage and its protection underpinned policy development, the discourse surrounding the loss of historic fabric and the fracturing of communities within American cities played a critical role in the institutionalization of the field. It effectively pitted preservation as a counter movement against the public and private interests seeking social progress through rational planning paradigms. The modern preservation infrastructure – including institutions, legislation, and policies – is now half a century old, but the conceptual dynamics that isolated preservation from other land use decision-making at the juncture of its institutionalization persist. The disjuncture between preservation and broader land use and building policies presents new challenges in light of contemporary sustainability concerns.

Explaining Fixed Effects: Random Effects Modeling of Time-Series Cross-Sectional and Panel Data* ANDREW BELL AND KELVYN JONES his article challenges Fixed Effects (FE) modeling as the ‘default’ for time-series-cross- sectional and panel data. Understanding different within and between effects is crucial when choosing modeling strategies. The downside of Random Effects (RE) modeling— https://www.cambridge.org/core/terms T correlated lower-level covariates and higher-level residuals—is omitted-variable bias, solvable with Mundlak’s (1978a) formulation. Consequently, RE can provide everything that FE promises and more, as confirmed by Monte-Carlo simulations, which additionally show problems with Plu¨mper and Troeger’s FE Vector Decomposition method when data are unbalanced. As well as incorporating time-invariant variables, RE models are readily extendable, with random coefficients, cross-level interactions and complex variance functions. We argue not simply for technical solutions to endogeneity, but for the substantive importance of context/heterogeneity, modeled using RE. The implications extend beyond political science to all multilevel datasets. However, omitted variables could still bias estimated higher-level variable effects; as with any model, care is required in interpretation.

  • 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.
