North Korean Defectors in Diaspora
This edited collection investigates the mobilities, resettlement practices, and identities of North Korean defectors who have relocated to the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, and South Korea. The contributors to this volume examine the complex nature of defection from North Korea, highlighting the ways in which defectors renegotiate their identities in order to adapt and settle in new societies as well as the implications these differing narratives have on future policy decisions.

Emergent Spaces
This book explores different emergent spaces where diverse urbanites spontaneously negotiate, make and remake urban spaces, create opportunities, produce social change, challenge urban life, culture, and politics, or simply ask for their right to the city. The focus of this book is on spaces and contexts where change is seeded, regardless of whether it was planned and whether it was or will be successful in the end. Contributors analyze the seeds of change at their very inception in diverse cultural contexts across four continents. How do small groups of ordinary and often also disenfranchised people design, suggest and implement ideas of change? How do they use and remake small urban spaces to better suit their purposes, voice claims to the city, create opportunities, and design better urban lives and futures? The emphasis of this volume is not on the nature of activities and change, but on the minute processes of initiating change.
How Pandemics Shape the Metropolitan Space
This book examines the impact of the recent global health crisis on the urban development of Vienna and Tokyo. Contributions from fields such as regional, landscape, or transport planning as well as urban sociology and cultural anthropology illustrate that, in these capitals, the effects of the pandemic on urban space have been both immediate and long-term. At the same time, they show that historical and cultural contexts influence the way cities have dealt with the challenges posed by COVID-19.
Social Strategies Building the City
Social housing is a complex system integrated by social, economic, political and city making processes. Social practices in the called social production of the habitat provide clues to understand an alternative way to approach housing solutions in which several dimensions coexist. Through the rationalization of social (self-management), economic (social economy) and urban principles, it was possible the construction of typologies to document and evaluate 3 case studies in Latin America. This book provides a foundation for future research and conception of social housing policies and programs.
Coworking Spaces
Am Beispiel von Berliner "Coworking Spaces" untersucht Agnes Müller die Raumwirksamkeit einer mobilen und flexiblen Arbeitsgesellschaft. Die Zusammenhänge des besonderen Bürokonzeptes mit einer sich ändernden Arbeitswelt, dem städtischen Raum und seinen kreativen Milieus, sowie Migration und Multilokalität erläutert sie auf drei Maßstabsebenen. Hierin zeigt sich, dass es sich bei diesen Büros um ein "glokales", heterogenes und schnelllebiges Phänomen handelt. Während sich die Büros zunehmend spezialisieren oder auch professionalisieren, nehmen sie Einfluss auf das Stadtleben und die Stadtentwicklung.
Investigando las migraciones en Chile
El libro nos invita a desplazar la mirada, una mirada oblicua y descentrada que nos permita comprender que de algún modo todos somos migrantes, somos extranjeros en nuestros territorios; las fronteras están en nuestros propios cuerpos y miradas.
Chile Urbano Hacia el Siglo XXI
En 2013, luego de un año de elaboración, y con la participación de un número amplio de actores privados y públicos, finalmente se aprobó en Chile la Política Nacional de Desarrollo Urbano, una gran oportunidad de avanzar a mejores ciudades y regiones urbanas. Sin embargo, el país aún enfrenta desafíos históricos y actuales sin resolver, tales como fuerzas y actores sociales emergentes; desafíos técnicos y ambientales que impactarán a nuestras ciudades y territorio; nuevos roles del Estado y sus instituciones para conducir procesos de desarrollo urbano; articulaciones faltantes entre ciudad, territorio y región; futuros espacios de inclusión social que se deberán repensar par...
