Urban Morphology versus Urban Redevelopment and Revitalisation
(SpringerOpen, 2022) Hanzl, Malgorzata; Kantarek, Anna Agata; Zagula, Artur; Musiaka, Lukasz; Figlus, Tomasz
This open access book provides a comprehensive review of current theoretical and practical expertise at the confluence of urban morphology and urban rehabilitation. Its holistic perspective addresses theoretical explanations and approaches as well as practical experiences in the design of urban places. The extensive methodological section illustrates innovation and development in this area.
The sections of Urban Morphology versus Urban Redevelopment and Revitalisation offer insights from several perspectives: political, social, cultural and economic. Each part examines the intersection with the field of morphological studies. The transformations of the urban fabric are the focus of the two final sections; they address historical processes and review current architectural and urban solutions.

Music Appreciation (Georgia Gwinnett College)
(GALILEO Open Learning Materials, 2017) Mueller, Todd; Ozment, Elizabeth Whittenburg; Escalante-Chernova, Irina; Gilley, Marc; Kilroe-Smith, Catherine; Fischer, Rachael
This Music Appreciation textbook was created under an ALG Round Five Textbook Transformation Grant. The original copy was presented in five modules, which are provided as separate files. The author of this text has intentionally kept it general in nature in order to create a platform for those who want to expand content into more in depth studies of the mentioned concepts and traditions. I believe that appreciation of any subject comes from open-minded exposure to that topic. With the arts this generally must happen at a moment when the message and meaning of the work resonates naturally with the appreciator. If we endeavor together to reach these course goals the successful student will be able to: Describe elements of music that s/he hears, employing correct musical terminology; Place music into an appropriate historical and cultural context; Listen critically and discuss a wide variety of musical styles; Analyze the stylistic features of a diverse group of musical styles; Identify nationalistic tendencies in musical expression; Identify musical diversity and aspects of our global society

Ageing and Urban Planning
(Taylor & Francis, 2025) Drilling, Matthias; Suero, Pamela; Al-Shoubaki, Hind; Neuhaus, Fabian
Ageing and Urban Planning provides a critical analysis of urban planning in the face of demographic change. It emphasises the importance of international approaches and practices to address age-friendly planning. This process requires collaboration between professionals and the community, going beyond mere functionality to connect the micro and macro scales at the city, region, nation, and the global level. With an interdisciplinary and intersectional approach, the book draws on analytical lenses from architecture, gerontology, geography, sociology, and social and urban planning. It offers a thorough critique of popular narratives surrounding ageing and urban planning while presenting diverse case studies on a variety of spatial scales. The volume also covers the history of urban design for ageing and inclusivity in planning governance, as well as a critical look at the concept of "ageing in place" from the perspective of urban planning. The book offers a comprehensive selection of in-depth photos and figures from urban design studios, planning processes, and real-life scenarios. This collection provides a unique network of inspiring ideas. The book ultimately seeks to supplement the debate and promote a broader reflection about the transformations required in urban planning, given the opportunities and challenges related to a world with increased longevity. This valuable resource is recommended for advanced students, researchers, and policymakers in the fields of urban planning, age-related disciplines and professions, and social policy.

Enabling the City
(Taylor & Francis, 2021) Fokdal, Josefine; Bina, Olivia; Chiles, Prue; Ojamäe, Liis
Enabling the City is a collaborative book that focuses on how interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary processes of knowledge production may contribute to urban transformation at a local level in the 21st century, striking a balance between enthusiastic support for such transformational potential and a cautious note regarding the persistent challenges to the ethos as well as the practice of inter and transdisciplinarity. The rich stories reflect different research and local practice cultures, exploring issues such as ageing, community, health and dementia, public space, energy, mobility cultures, heritage, housing, re-use, and renewal, as well as more universal questions about urban sustainability and climate change, and perhaps most importantly, education. Against this backdrop, aspirations for the 21st century are related to the international, national, and local agendas expressed in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and in the New Urban Agenda (NUA), raising fundamental questions of how to enable development. We highlight aspects of transformative learning and ways of knowing, critical to any collaborative and participatory process.

Towards a Metropolitan Public Space Network
(Taylor & Francis, 2025) Santos, João Rafael; Silva, Maria Matos; da Costa, Ana Beja
This book explores the hypothesis that public space – if conceptualised, imagined, and shaped at the metropolitan scale, through innovative territorial design approaches – offers the possibility to interconnect and integrate various systems in search for synergic responses to emerging societal challenges that impact large, urbanised landscapes. The book offers a multidimensional and multi-geographic framework to discuss the role of public space on contemporary metropolitan territories, as part of MetroPublicNet - Building the foundations of a Metropolitan Public Space Network to support the robust, low-carbon and cohesive city: Projects, lessons, and prospects in Lisbon research project. The reader will find a critical and overarching perspective on the conceptual, methodological, and empirical lenses that unfolded throughout the research process, namely a systematised decoding of the public space projects, policies, and rationales that shaped the recent transformation of Lisbon Metropolitan Area. With a diverse range of authors actively engaged in academic research and professorship, in design practice, and in policy-oriented roles, the book concludes with the outlining of forward-looking guidelines, policy recommendations, and design experimentations. This book will be of interest to researchers and students of architecture, urbanism, landscape architecture and geography.
