Classical liberalism focused on individual freedom and free trade between nations. During the Industrial Revolution, classical liberal values like private property and economic freedom led to growth in capitalism across Europe. However, early industrialization also brought poor working conditions, low wages, child labor and growing inequality that classical liberalism alone did not address. Over time, governments implemented new laws and welfare programs to protect workers' rights and improve living standards, moving toward a modern liberal approach.
The lecture provides an overview of the transformations of Chinese media from the early years of the PRC to the most recent development. Specifically, it pays attention to the changing market conditions and state policies in China.

If government sets quotas too high, it can lead to surpluses as producers are required to produce more than consumers demand. This occurred in the Soviet Union which experienced food surpluses while citizens lacked choices. Quotas set too low can cause shortages as occurred in China during the Great Leap Forward when government quotas failed to keep up with population growth, leading to famine. Quotas distort markets and should account for changes in supply and demand.
This document discusses how popular culture spreads Western ideology across the globe. It defines ideology as a commitment to a set of ideas and values. Popular culture originated from Western values like individual freedom, equality, and democracy that developed between 1750-1900. Since World War 2, popular culture from the West like rock music has spread these values worldwide by establishing new social norms. Popular culture is associated with commercial products and allows widespread consumer access, changing and evolving to meet market demands while spreading Western ideology on a global scale.
The document discusses the evolution of human communities and societies from early hunting and gathering bands to modern industrialized states. It describes the key characteristics of different types of societies throughout history, from bands and tribes to chiefdoms, states, and the development of cities. The types of societies discussed include hunting and gathering, pastoral, horticultural, agricultural, industrial, and post-industrial. The document also examines concepts like community, society, community development, human development, and the evolution of social organization over time.
Community Planning - Making it or Faking it? Design Guidelines for Smarter G...brickindustry
No community intentionally embarks on a path to being just an “OK” place. But many communities are beginning to realize that redevelopment built under the guise of Smart Growth, results in little more than infill McMansions, high, density, townhouse clusters and strip mall makeovers. This type of development may look different but it falls short of building upon the visual character that makes a community unique.
Coming out of the recent economic recession communities everywhere are facing a new planning paradigm – sprawl is not sustainable. Changing demographics, a new interest in public health, environmental concerns and a desire for energy efficiency are topics influencing the planning conversation as more and more communities adopt principles to promote smart growth to guide infill and redevelopment.
The issue is that redevelopment built under the banner of smart growth often reflects the latest in design-build construction with no regard for existing building form, architectural style or materials. This pattern book approach of smart growth may be “compatible” with surrounding development but robs a community of the character that makes it a great place.
This presentation was put together for planners who are interested in developing design guidelines or updating existing guidelines that will ensure smart growth reflects the distinctive and unique character of their community … making it a great place.
The presentation will identify:
1. The legal framework at the federal and local level that gives communities the authority to regulate aesthetics, character and materials;
2. The policy and regulatory tools available at the community level for implementing character;
3. The process for engaging the public to define the character that will make their community a great place.
The document summarizes a report by the New York City Department of Transportation on improving New York City's public spaces and streets. It discusses trends in other world-class cities that have improved public spaces to encourage walking, biking, and use of public transportation. It also summarizes a public life survey conducted by Gehl Architects that examined how New Yorkers use public spaces. The goal is to make New York's streets among the most attractive in the world for walking, biking, and spending time outdoors.

This document discusses the key concepts of neoliberalism, feminism, and the clash of civilizations. It defines neoliberalism as prioritizing free markets and deregulation. Examples of neoliberal policies in Australia include budget cuts impacting students, pensions, and families. The document also discusses Huntington's theory of a clash between civilizations, and the challenges for the author as a religious Muslim woman living in the West. Finally, it outlines the three waves of feminism and how feminism relates to the author's life as an educated Muslim woman who believes in gender equality.
The document discusses planning and zoning for commercial urban agriculture. It begins with introductions of the presenters and their goals to define commercial urban agriculture, identify barriers in zoning and regulations, and share ideas for revisions. It then provides a framework and definitions, discusses the spectrum of approaches from community gardens to for-profit urban farms, and identifies common barriers in zoning codes, building codes, and health codes. Finally, it discusses strategies for planning departments to support commercial urban agriculture through comprehensive plans, zoning definitions and districts, use standards, and streamlining approval processes.
High Density and Livability: Lessons Learned in Asian Cities (Sujata Govada) ...Virtual ULI
This document discusses lessons learned from high-density Asian cities regarding livability. It explores what makes high density work through examples of Asian cities like Hong Kong, which is highly dense yet livable due to infrastructure, transit mobility, and open green spaces comprising 40% of its land. Principles for sustainable development include balancing new development with heritage, and focusing on placemaking, connectivity, and integrating development within the existing urban fabric at an appropriate scale.
Zoning is a law that regulates land use by dividing areas into zones with regulations regarding use, form, and density. The first comprehensive zoning code was established in New York City in 1916 and divided the city into use districts and regulated building heights. The 1961 New York City Zoning Resolution introduced concepts like floor area ratios, tower-in-the-park designs, and bonuses for including public spaces. It has since been amended with special districts, contextual zoning, waterfront zoning, mixed-use districts, and initiatives promoting sustainability.

The document summarizes four articles about neoliberalism and its impact on education. It discusses how neoliberal reforms have led to standardized curriculums, funding cuts, and an increased focus on accountability and standardized testing. This encourages competition but may not motivate all students, especially males who face social pressures to portray masculinity conflicting with academic engagement. The articles also examine teacher experiences under accountability policies and how students privately perceive tensions between neoliberal and social justice values in education.

Speaker: Jonathan McKinley
Rising expectations for space for leisure, recreation and sports
Hong Kong is surrounded by so much water and has so many green mountains, so does it really need more urban open space? How do we respond to the threats of global warming and air pollution? What is the meaning of “the urban heat island effect”? What is an “air ventilation assessment”? What value doesthe community place on open space? Is the demand for recreation and sport changing? Do we need a landscape vision and master plan? Is “green infrastructure” becoming more important than roads and railway lines in securing a sustainable built environment in Hong Kong?
Join experts, academics, planners, government officials and landscape architects in a discussion about how to stay cool in our city.

The Interlace is a large housing complex located in Singapore consisting of 31 apartment blocks arranged around 8 central courtyards. It was designed by Ole Scheeren to maximize green space by stacking apartments and incorporating extensive roof gardens and terraces. The complex contains over 1,000 residential units of varying sizes, underground parking for 2,600 cars, and various public amenities like clubhouses and retail space. The interlocking block design aims to create a more connected residential environment compared to isolated high-rise towers.
This document discusses neoliberalism and its effects. It defines neoliberalism as both an ideological set of ideas about the relationship between economy and government as well as a political movement that implemented reforms based on those ideas. Key neoliberal ideas include letting the economy prosper without interference, individual responsibility for poverty, and applying economic rationales like competition to social programs. The document then gives examples of how neoliberalism manifests through policies like structural adjustment programs, the shift to service industries, increasing economic polarization, and the expansion of the security and non-profit sectors in cities.
Neoliberalism promotes individual freedom through free markets. It supports defense, police, and law, but limits welfare, health, education, science, and environmental programs. Neoliberalism empowers the wealthy through social Darwinism while repressing the poor. It gives power to employers over unemployed youth by promoting the ideology that individuals must seek jobs to receive assistance through programs like job commitment bonuses and relocation payments.
Modernism arose in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in response to changes in Western society from industrialization. It rejected traditional forms of art, religion, and social organization as outdated. Modernism was marked by an intentional break from tradition and conservative views. Postmodernism emerged as a critique of modernism in the 1970s, abandoning strict modernist geometry for more flowing, embellished designs and a return to ornamentation on buildings. Postmodern urban areas are characterized by ethnic diversity, multinodal structures, spectacular centers, and high social polarization distinguished by consumption patterns.
This document defines neoliberalism and outlines its history and critical analysis. Neoliberalism promotes free market capitalism and limited government intervention. Key institutions like the IMF, World Bank and WTO were established post-WWII to promote neoliberal policies and open markets. However, critics argue these institutions primarily serve developed countries' interests and impose conditions that spread neoliberal ideology rather than balance global economic power. The WTO in particular maintains inequalities despite a democratic structure.
The document discusses town planning regulations and building bye-laws in India. It covers several topics related to planning including a review of relevant legislation, planning agencies and their functions, concepts like FSI and TDR, and norms for utilizing FSI for different building types. It emphasizes that building bye-laws are necessary tools to regulate development and achieve orderly growth. Regulations aim to ensure proper light, ventilation, sanitation and fire safety in buildings.
Transforming New York's Privately Owned Public Spaces with TechnologyHuge
This report is a collaboration between Huge; the Municipal Art Society (MAS), a non-profit organization dedicated to improving New York City; and Advocates for Privately Owned Public Space (APOPS).
To compile this report Huge conducted user research, stakeholder interviews and location assessments to gain insights into the challenges and needs across Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS) and key stakeholders. The report summarizes the history of POPS, depicts the current landscape, and makes recommendations based on findings.
Neoliberalism is an ideological, political, and historical phenomenon characterized by free market policies and the dominance of economic rationales. It advocates for limited government intervention and individual responsibility. At the city level, neoliberalism is seen through the privatization of public space, intensified policing, growth in consumerism and non-profits, and widening racial economic disparities.
This document discusses the topic of neoliberalism. It provides definitions of neoliberalism as both a set of policies and an ideology. As policies, it involves deregulation, liberalization, and privatization (DLP). As an ideology, it promotes individual freedom and a free market system. The document then gives a brief history of neoliberalism, tracing its rise following economic crises in the 1970s and its spread globally under institutions like the IMF and influence of thinkers like Milton Friedman. It also discusses David Harvey's critique that neoliberalism in practice diverges from its philosophical principles and is used to restore upper class power, such as through "accumulation by dispossession."
The document provides an overview of neoliberalism and its rise as the dominant ideology since the 1970s. It discusses key figures who promoted neoliberal policies like Thatcher, Reagan, Deng and Pinochet. It also summarizes critiques of neoliberalism from scholars like Harvey, Kelsey and analyses of the crisis of the welfare state and neoliberal critiques of state intervention in the economy.
This document discusses the key tenets of neoliberalism and contrasts them with teachings of the Gospel. It outlines that neoliberalism is supported by large corporations and promotes policies like privatization, deregulation, and free markets. However, it lacks an analysis of how power dynamics distort markets. The Gospel, on the other hand, sees humanity as called into divine communion rather than isolated individuals. It recognizes how wealth and power become intertwined and can oppress the poor. The document argues that the Christian response involves challenging myths of neoliberalism, promoting alternative economic approaches, and applying Scripture to contemporary global justice issues.
The document discusses the public/private dichotomy as described by Don Slater. It notes that in ancient Greece, only propertied males could participate in the public realm while others were restricted to the private sphere. Over time, more groups like younger people, women, and working classes gained public participation rights. The document also examines how political ideologies like socialism, liberalism, and conservatism approach the relationship between the public and private realms and the role of the state. It provides examples of tensions between collective versus individual focus that parties sometimes navigate.
Neoliberalism is a political ideology that blends liberal values with an emphasis on economic growth and free markets. It believes the economy will prosper if left alone without government intervention and that individuals are responsible for their own poverty. Neoliberal policies include structural adjustment programs, free trade, privatization, deregulation, and reducing government spending on social programs. The result is increasing economic polarization, a growing surplus population, more dominance of private corporations and consumerism in public spaces, and intensified racial inequality.
The document discusses theories of population growth and urbanization, highlighting that world population has grown rapidly to over 7 billion people due to declining mortality rates, high fertility rates in developing countries, and migration. It examines the demographic transition from high birth/death rates in pre-industrial societies to low rates in industrialized nations as well as the emergence and evolution of cities from ancient times to modern post-industrial metropolitan areas. Conflict, functionalist, and symbolic interactionist perspectives on urban development and suburbanization are also considered.

Globalization is a complex process that involves the increasing interdependence of peoples and countries through economic, political, and social forces. There are three main schools of thought on globalization: hyperglobalizers see a decline in national powers and the rise of a global capitalist system; sceptics argue globalization is overstated and national powers remain dominant; transformationalists see national powers being reconstituted under globalizing influences. Modern technologies, economic integration, and political changes like the end of the Cold War have contributed to globalizing trends, but the extent and impacts are debated.

Neoconservatism emerged in the 1960s-70s as former liberals became more conservative, particularly on foreign policy where they favored direct confrontation with the Soviet Union over détente. Neoconservatives critique modern society and advocate interventionist foreign policy to spread democracy. Notable neoconservative individuals, organizations, media outlets, and foundations have advocated for these views and influenced US foreign policy. Some debate whether Tony Blair's views align with neoconservatism. Ideological positions can vary and overlap in complex ways.
This document discusses the political, economic, and socio-cultural contexts of development. It outlines different theories of development such as modernization theory, dependency theory, and world systems theory. It examines how factors like culture, economic conditions, population density, and political systems can impact development. Specifically, it explores how aspects of culture like openness to ideas, work ethic, trust, and savings rates can affect economic growth and development outcomes in different countries and regions.

Neo-liberalism argues that free trade between nations promotes global prosperity and peace. It believes states should interact through institutions to resolve conflicts and reduce the likelihood of war. However, critics argue that neo-liberalism neglects social equality within nations and could lead governments to prioritize economic goals over citizens' basic needs. While neo-liberalism may prevent international conflict, it risks fueling domestic unrest if a country's people cannot afford basic necessities.
This document provides study guide information for a social studies exam covering topics like culture, economics, civics, history, and causes of WWII. It defines key terms and compares concepts.

For government, it contrasts direct democracy with representative democracy, and absolute monarchy with constitutional monarchy. It also defines propaganda and discusses how the Nazi party used it to their advantage.
This comprehensive PowerPoint presentation delves into the complex issue of homelessness in urban environments, examining its historical origins, socio-economic factors, and policy implications. The presentation provides a deep dive into the topic, aiming to raise awareness and foster a deeper understanding of the multifaceted nature of homelessness and its impact on individuals and communities.
The presentation begins by exploring the historical roots of homelessness, tracing it back to the 16th century when the emergence of the modern private property institution and enclosure acts displaced individuals from communal lands. Referred to as "vagabonds" or "vagrants," many found themselves without property or means of sustenance. The subsequent industrial revolution further exacerbated the problem as displaced individuals became property-less beggars.
During this era, the state responded to homelessness with punitive measures known as the "Vagabond Acts." Offenses were met with harsh penalties, including whipping, branding, servitude, imprisonment, and even execution. These acts were largely driven by the perception that homelessness was "bad for business" in emerging urban spaces of consumption.
The presentation then shifts to the 20th century, examining the distinctions between the deserving and undeserving poor during the Great Depression. Homelessness was closely tied to the fluctuations of the economy, rising and falling with economic downturns. The discussion highlights how government policies, such as FDR's New Deal, aimed to reduce homelessness through welfare institutions and a focus on full employment.
However, the presentation explores the shift in attitudes and policies that occurred during the Reagan era, with the rise of neoliberalism. Emphasizing individual responsibility and limited government intervention, Reagan's policies sought to dismantle welfare institutions and roll back social safety nets. This had the unintended consequence of exacerbating homelessness, particularly with the defunding of mental health institutions, which pushed many mentally ill individuals onto the streets.
The presentation also examines the rise of "anti-homeless" laws since the 1990s, which sought to manage homelessness through punitive measures rather than addressing its root causes. These laws include sit-and-lie ordinances, anti-panhandling laws, park closures, and prohibitions on erecting tents in public spaces. However, research has shown that these measures do not effectively curb homelessness but rather spatially manage homeless populations to conceal visible homelessness in affluent areas.
Addressing the prevailing narrative that homelessness is solely a result of individual deficiencies and pathologies, the presentation emphasizes the political economy of homelessness. It highlights how factors such as labor market conditions and housing dynamics play a significant role in perpetuating homelessness.
The English school of International Relations ibrahimkoncak
The English School occupies a middle ground in international relations theory by synthesizing concepts from different theories without dichotomies. It examines international society through the lenses of international system, international society, and world society. International society exists when states recognize common interests and rules in their relations. The expansion of international society over time has included more states and addressed human rights. Debates continue around pluralism versus solidarism in enforcing human rights and intervention.

The document discusses several topics related to globalization and capitalism including:
1) Why Britain was the center of industrialization - due to its naval power, cotton industry, and use of colonialism to extract raw materials like cotton through slave labor.
2) How cotton fueled industrialization - it was profitable, attracted investment, and machinery for processing it was cheap and promised quick returns.
3) Thomas Jefferson's innovations that impacted slavery and capitalism - including industrializing and dividing slave labor, recognizing the reproductive value of slaves, and using slaves as collateral.

Kwame Nkrumah was born in 1909 in the British colony of Gold Coast, Africa. He lived and studied in the United States and United Kingdom from 1935 to 1947 before returning to help lead Ghana's independence movement. Ghana became independent in 1957 with Nkrumah as its first president. However, he was overthrown in a 1966 CIA-backed coup that realigned Ghana with Western powers. Nkrumah was primarily concerned with the concept of neocolonialism, in which former colonial powers extract resources through indirect political means rather than direct control after independence.

3. Meeting Goals
• Develop our understanding of neoliberalism in terms
of its ideological, political and historical meanings.
• Think about what neoliberalism means for the space
of the city and the space of the nation-state.
• Strategize about what spaces of social justice -
especially in response to the intersections of
poverty, sexual and gender regulation, and racism -
can look like in the contemporary neoliberal
context.
