Parking and the City

Parking and the City

Donald Shoup brilliantly overcame the challenge of writing about parking without being boring in his iconoclastic 800-page book The High Cost of Free Parking. Easy to read and often entertaining the book showed that city parking policies subsidize cars encourage sprawl degrade urban design prohibit walkability damage the economy raise housing costs and penalize people who cannot afford or choose not to own a car. Using careful analysis and creative thinking Shoup recommended three parking reforms: (1) remove off-street parking requirements (2) charge the right prices for on-street parking and (3) spend the meter revenue to improve public services on the metered streets. Parking and the City reports on the progress that cities have made in adopting these three reforms. The successful outcomes provide convincing evidence that Shoup’s policy proposals are not theoretical and idealistic but instead are practical and realistic. The good news about our decades of bad planning for parking is that the damage we have done will be far cheaper to repair than to ignore. The 51 chapters by 46 authors in Parking and the City show how reforming our misguided and wrongheaded parking policies can do a world of good.

The Bungalow in Twentieth-Century India The Cultural Expression of Changing Ways of Life and Aspirations in the Domestic Architecture of Col

The Bungalow in Twentieth-Century India The Cultural Expression of Changing Ways of Life and Aspirations in the Domestic Architecture of Col

The primary era of this study - the twentieth century - symbolizes the peak of the colonial rule and its total decline as well as the rise of the new nation state of India. The processes that have been labeled 'westernization' and 'modernization' radically changed middle-class Indian life during the century. This book describes and explains the various technological political and social developments that shaped one building type - the bungalow - contemporaneous to the development of modern Indian history during the period of British rule and its subsequent aftermath. Drawing on their own physical and photographic documentation and building on previous work by Anthony King and the Desais the authors show the evolution of the bungalow's architecture from a one storey building with a verandah to the assortment of house-forms and their regional variants that are derived from the bungalow. Moreover the study correlates changes in society with architectural consequences in the plans and aesthetics of the bungalow. It also examines more generally what it meant to be modern in Indian society as the twentieth century evolved. | The Bungalow in Twentieth-Century India The Cultural Expression of Changing Ways of Life and Aspirations in the Domestic Architecture of Col

Decolonizing Data Algorithms and Society

Decolonizing Data Algorithms and Society

This book focuses on the values and effects that are operational in data technologies as they sustain colonial and imperialist legacies while also highlighting strategies for resistance to autocratic regimes and pathways towards decolonizing efforts. Systems and schemes for databases and automated data flow processing often contain implicitly Westernized autocratic or even imperialist features but can also be appropriated for resistance and revolt. Algorithms are not strictly mathematical but also embody cultural constructs. Values circulate in systems along with labels and quantities. This entails more critically reflective data practices whether in government academia industry or the civic sphere. The volume covers a critique of the data colonialism thesis which frames computer science as a colonizing science that uses data to classify and govern us an alternate framing of metadata as ‘data near data’ to challenge seemingly neutral technical terms and a case study of the use of social media platforms in the 2018 Sudanese uprising. Scholars and students from many backgrounds as well as policy makers journalists and the general reading public will find a multidisciplinary approach to questions posed by data decolonization research from the fields of Communication and Digital Media studies. | Decolonizing Data Algorithms and Society
