It provides a survey of essential discussions on the changes Berlin has experienced since the fall of the wall. It addresses inner city renewal, housing and the local economy, and gentrification and other urban conflicts. The anthology breaks new ground by offering non-German speakers insight into reunification's controversial debates and by addressing the mixed results of Berlin's urban transformation.      Use the coupon code CUP30 and save 30%!  $40.00 $28.00 Paper | 280 pages    Spaces for the Poor A Compendium on Urban Change and Activism Edited by Hans-Christian Petersen      What do we know about the urban impoverished areas of the world and the living environment of its inhabitants? How did the urban poor cope with their surroundings? How did they interpret and adopt urban space in order to fight against their position at the periphery of society? This volume takes up these questions and investigates how far approaches of cultural sciences can contribute to overcome the "exotification of the ghetto" and instead to look at the heterogeneity and individuality behind the facades. It opens new perspectives for the research of poverty and inequalities that do not stop at collective categories.

The huge amount of metaphors appearing in the discourse of both not only reference their creative nature but also indicate their weakness and the missing piece strengthening their own understanding: a definition of space for architecture and of city for urbanism. But using metaphors in this field implies a problem -- though metaphors achieve to bring opposites together, there remains the question how literal they can actually become in order to relate to these subjects properly.    Use the coupon code CUP30 and save 30% $45.00 $31.50 Paper | 302 pages | 93 images     FOLLOW COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY PRESS:
