О книге: В своей документальной повести «Бирма. Ад полузабытой войны» немец Гарри Тюрк, прекрасный знаток истории войны в Юго-Восточной Азии, ярко и достоверно описывает кровавые битвы на этом почти забытом театре военных действий в Юго-Восточной Азии в 1942–1945 годах. Наступление японской армии через бирманские джунгли по направлению к Индии, ее попытки перерезать снабжение китайских частей и намерение нанести смертельный удар Британской империи натолкнулись на ожесточенное сопротивление англичан, британских колониальных войск, американских летчиков, бирманских и китайских патриотов. Героические акции партизан-«чиндитов», боевые действия в провинции Аракан, строительство дороги из Ледо, форсирование рек Чиндуин и Иравади сплетаются в общее описание военных действий в ужасных географических и климатических условиях, звучащее как предупреждение и напоминание о том, что не должно быть забыто.

This document provides a summary of a research paper titled "Cities and Memory: Construction of Social Space and the Mnemonics of the Built Environment" by Hunter Reinhardt. The paper examines how cities imbue physical spaces with cultural and social meaning through architecture and monuments. It analyzes three books that look at this topic through different lenses: social geography, architectural history, and archaeology. The summary focuses on Dolores Hayden's book "The Power of Place" which argues urban landscapes can convey public history when they incorporate marginalized groups. It describes Hayden's case study of memorializing "Grandma" Biddy Mason, an influential African American leader in late 19th century LA. The summary concisely
This document provides a summary of the author's undergraduate thesis analyzing the concept of "cities for people" through a case study of Hanoi, Vietnam. The author conducted observations over four weeks in three streets representing old, redeveloped, and new areas of Hanoi to understand how urban development has impacted public space usage. While initially thinking Hanoi exemplified a people-centered city, the author now believes it problematizes the concept by illustrating complexity not fully accounted for. The thesis draws on urban planning and design scholars like Gehl and Jacobs to critically analyze the implications of building cities for people and its relevance in 21st century urbanization globally and specifically in Hanoi.
What is a City”Architectural Record (1937)Lewis Mumfor.docxphilipnelson29183
“What is a City?”
Architectural Record (1937)
Lewis Mumford
Editors’ Introduction
Lewis Mumford (1895–1990) has been called the United States’ last great public intellectual – that is, a scholar
not based in academia who writes for an educated popular audience. Beginning with the publication of his first
book The Story of Utopias in 1922 and continuing throughout a career that saw the publication of some twenty-
five influential volumes, Mumford made signal contributions to social philosophy, American literary and cultural
history, the history of technology and, preeminently, the history of cities and urban planning practice.
Born in Brooklyn and coming of age at a time when the modern city was reaching a new peak in the history of
urban civilization, Mumford saw the urban experience as an essential component in the development of human
culture and the human personality. He consistently argued that the physical design of cities and their economic
functions were secondary to their relationship to the natural environment and to the spiritual values of human
community. Mumford applied these principles to his architectural criticism for The New Yorker magazine and his
work with the Regional Planning Association of America in the 1920s and 1930s, his campaign against plans to
build a highway through Washington Square in New York’s Greenwich Village in the 1950s, and his lifelong
championing of the environmental theories of Patrick Geddes and the Garden City ideals of Ebenezer Howard.
In “What is a City?” – the text of a 1937 talk to an audience of urban planners – Mumford lays out his fundamental
propositions about city planning and the human potential, both individual and social, of urban life. The city, he writes,
is “a theater of social action,” and everything else – art, politics, education, commerce – serve only to make the
“social drama . . . more richly significant, as a stage-set, well-designed, intensifies and underlines the gestures of
the actors and the action of the play.” The city as a form of social drama expressed as much in daily life as in
revolutionary moments – it was a theme and an image to which Mumford would return over and over again. In The
Culture of Cities of 1938, he rhapsodized about the artist Albrecht Dürer witnessing a religious procession in
Antwerp in 1519 that was a dramatic performance “where the spectators were also communicants.” And in “The
Urban Drama” from The City in History of 1961, he reflected on the ways that the social life of the ancient city
established a kind of dramatic dialogue “in which common life itself takes on the features of a drama, heightened
by every device of costume and scenery, for the setting itself magnifies the voice and increases the apparent
stature of the actors.” Mumford was quick to point out that the earliest urban dialogue was really a one-way
“monologue of power” from the king to his cowering subjects. Such an absence of true dialogue, he wrote, was
“bound to have a fat.
This document provides guidance on citations and references. It discusses why we cite sources (for conversation, evidence, and honesty), how to cite sources (by following style guidelines consistently and understanding the source), and different citation styles (Chicago, MLA, APA, CSE). It then provides examples of cited works in different formats, including books, articles, websites, and archival materials. It directs readers to resources for citation help and provides a contact for additional assistance.
This document provides summaries of 18 influential books related to the development of urban planning as a field from 1909 to 1962. It describes the key ideas and impacts of each book, including foundational works on city planning techniques, the rise of suburbs, new conceptual approaches to urban design, and the growth of planning as a professional discipline and area of academic study. Many of the books discussed still shape planning practice and thinking today.
The book examines contemporary urbanism in Brazil beyond Brasilia by assessing major trends like late-modernism, revitalization, and social inclusion. It examines how cities are regenerating democratically to meet market and social demands while respecting culture and history. Reviews praise the book for its detailed case studies and for radically altering understanding of Brazilian urbanism as a laboratory for urban change worldwide.

This document summarizes and compares several articles about urbanization and the growth of cities outward from their cores to their peripheries. It discusses Edward Soja's analysis of increasing regional urbanization and the contrast between urban and suburban areas. It also examines Steve Pile's discussion of Lewis Mumford's view that both physical and social connections are important in defining cities. Examples are provided of Chicago growing due to its natural resources but then depleting them, and of cities like Tehran and Lahore experiencing uncontrolled urban sprawl, migration to the edges, and exploitation of rural areas.
The city of theory, planning in the face of conflict, contested cities social...Desy Rosnita Sari
The document summarizes three articles about the history and evolution of urban planning. It discusses how the planning paradigm has shifted over time from a focus on design to incorporating more community engagement, data analysis, and consideration of social and political factors. Planners now take on roles as mediators and negotiators to manage conflicts between competing stakeholder groups given the imbalance of power in planning processes. Cities are understood not just as physical forms but as ongoing processes shaped by social, economic and political dynamics over time and place. The messy and political nature of planning challenges the profession to maintain relevance across diverse fields of study and practice.
The document summarizes architectural opportunities in American suburbia. It discusses how views of suburbia as conformist wastelands are outdated, as suburbs have become more diverse and poverty has risen. New modes of suburban living like accessory dwellings and home businesses are discussed. Examples of innovative suburban development like mixed-use centers and Missing Middle housing are provided. The document argues that reforms to zoning and improvements to design could help suburbs better meet the needs of a changing population.

James E. Vance, Jr., This Scene of Man: The Role and Structure of the City ...
This document summarizes and compares several articles about urbanization and the growth of cities outward from their cores to their peripheries. It discusses Edward Soja's analysis of increasing regional urbanization and the contrast between urban and suburban areas. It also examines Steve Pile's discussion of Lewis Mumford's view that both physical and social connections are important in defining cities. Examples are provided of Chicago growing due to its natural resources but then depleting them, and of cities like Tehran and Lahore experiencing uncontrolled urban sprawl, migration to the edges, and exploitation of rural areas.
The city of theory, planning in the face of conflict, contested cities social...Desy Rosnita Sari
The document summarizes three articles about the history and evolution of urban planning. It discusses how the planning paradigm has shifted over time from a focus on design to incorporating more community engagement, data analysis, and consideration of social and political factors. Planners now take on roles as mediators and negotiators to manage conflicts between competing stakeholder groups given the imbalance of power in planning processes. Cities are understood not just as physical forms but as ongoing processes shaped by social, economic and political dynamics over time and place. The messy and political nature of planning challenges the profession to maintain relevance across diverse fields of study and practice.
The document summarizes architectural opportunities in American suburbia. It discusses how views of suburbia as conformist wastelands are outdated, as suburbs have become more diverse and poverty has risen. New modes of suburban living like accessory dwellings and home businesses are discussed. Examples of innovative suburban development like mixed-use centers and Missing Middle housing are provided. The document argues that reforms to zoning and improvements to design could help suburbs better meet the needs of a changing population.
This document provides a vita for Christopher J. Newfield, a Professor of English at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Analyzing the creative city governance Relational processes in Columbus, O...Sandra Valenzuela
This document summarizes a journal article about analyzing creative city governance in Columbus, Ohio. It discusses how the rhetoric of the "creative city" emerged in Columbus starting in 2001 through documents focusing on economic development. Key actors involved in developing creative city governance include the Columbus Partnership, a business organization focused on economic development, and the Columbus Cultural Leadership Consortium, a coalition of major arts organizations. These groups are working to assess Columbus' potential as a creative city and promote the arts and culture as drivers of economic development.

The document discusses several themes related to globalization and urbanization including:
- The shift towards greater economic growth and recovery in lower-income metropolitan areas in Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East as compared to higher-income areas in Europe and the United States.
- The increasing interconnectedness and blurring boundaries between global cities like New York and London as they become linked by shared culture, language, and massive financial flows.
- The need for urban studies to move beyond frameworks focused solely on global cities and economic competitiveness, and instead consider the diversity and creative potential of all cities.
