Place-making and Policies for Competitive Cities
Book information
Description
Urban policy makers are increasingly striving to strengthen the economic competitiveness of their cities. Currently, they do that mainly in the field of the creative knowledge economy - arts, media, entertainment, creative business services, architecture, publishing, design; and ICT, R&D, finance, and law. This book is about the policies that help to realise such objectives: policies driven by classic location theory, cluster policies, ‘creative class’ policies aimed at attracting talent, as well as policies that connect to pathways, place and personal networks.The experiences and policy strategies of 13 city-regions across Europe have been investigated: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Birmingham, Budapest, Dublin, Helsinki, Leipzig, Milan, Munich, Poznan, Riga, Sofia and Toulouse. All have different histories and roles: capital cities and secondary cities; cities with different economies and industries; port-based cities and land-locked cities. And all 13 have different cultural, political and welfare state traditions. Through this wide set of contexts, Place-making and Policies for Competitive Citiescontributes to the debate about the development of creative knowledge cities, their economic growth and competitiveness and advocates the development of context-sensitive tailored approaches. Chapter authors from the 13 European cities rigorously evaluate, reformulate and test assumptions behind old and new policies.This solidly-grounded and policy-focused study on the urban policy of place-making highlights practices for different contexts in managing knowledge-intensive cities and, by drawing on the varied experiences from across Europe, it establishes the state-of-the-art for both academic and policy debates in a fast-moving field.Content: Chapter I Introduction (page 1): Chapter 1 Policies and Place?making for Competitive Cities (pages 3–10): Sako Musterd and Zoltan KovacsChapter 2 Prevailing Policies versus New Tailored Policies (pages 11–24): Sako Musterd and Zoltan KovacsChapter II Pathways (page 25): Chapter 3 Policies Built upon Pathways (pages 27–34): Sako Musterd and Zoltan KovacsChapter 4 Policies towards Multi?Layered Cities and Cluster Development (pages 35–58): Tamas Egedy, Anne von Streit and Marco BontjeChapter 5 Capitalising on Position (pages 59–76): Julie Brown, Declan Redmond and Marc Pradel i MiquelChapter 6 Addressing the Legacy of Post?Socialist Cities in East Central Europe (pages 77–94): Tadeusz Stryjakiewicz, Olga Gritsai, Evgenii Dainov and Tamas EgedyChapter III Place (page 95): Chapter 7 The Importance of Places and Place Branding (pages 97–104): Zoltan Kovacs and Sako MusterdChapter 8 Policies towards Place Attraction and Policies for Place Retention (pages 105–125): Philip Lawton, Michal Meczynski and Austin BarberChapter 9 Urban Regeneration and Housing as Potential Tools for Enhancing the Creative Economy (pages 127–147): Tamas Egedy, Declan Redmond and Kornelia EhrlichChapter 10 Successes and Failures in City Branding Policies (pages 149–171): Montserrat Pareja?Eastaway, Caroline Chapain and Silvia MugnanoChapter 11 Policies for Small and Large Cities (pages 173–190): Marc Pradel i Miquel, Anders Paalzow and Helene Martin?BrelotChapter 12 Creative Knowledge Strategies for Polycentric City?Regions (pages 191–208): Marco Bontje and Kaisa KepsuChapter IV Personal Networks (page 209): Chapter 13 Personal Networks (pages 211–218): Zoltan Kovacs and Sako MusterdChapter 14 Networks and Mobility (pages 219–238): Olga Gritsai, Michel Grossetti and Denis EckertChapter 15 Internationalisation and Policies towards Transnational Migration (pages 239–261): Heike Pethe and Sabine HafnerChapter 16 Policies Aimed at Strengthening Ties between Universities and Cities (pages 263–291): Krzysztof Stachowiak, Romulo Pinheiro, Carla Sedini and Mari VaattovaaraChapter 17 Governance of Creative Industries (pages 293–311): Anne von Streit and Bastian LangeChapter V Conclusions (page 313): Chapter 18 Tailored – Context?Sensitive – Urban Policies for Creative Knowledge Cities (pages 315–327): Sako Musterd and Zoltan Kovacs

Professional Linux kernel architecture ''Wrox programmer to programmer''--Cover. - ''What you are reading right now is the result of an evolution over more than seven years: After two years of writing, the first edition was published in German by Carl Hanser Verlag in 2003. It then described kernel 2.6.0. The test was used as a basis for the low-level design documentation for the EAL4+ security evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, requiring to update it to kernel 2.6.18 (if the EAL acronym does not mean anything to you, then Wikipedia is once more your friend). Hewlett-Packard sponsored the translation into English and has, thankfully, granted the rights to publish the result. Updates to kernel 2.6.24 were then performed specifically for this book''--P. ix
