At the same time, city planners, architects, researchers, policymakers, and activists are deeply immersed in the chaotic and often contradictory urban realities that they are asked to address. \u003ci\u003eWhat is Critical Urbanism? \u003c\/i\u003eoffers an innovative toolkit for engaging these present realities across disciplinary specializations and geographic purviews. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Central to the book is the research and pedagogy of the Critical Urbanisms program at the University of Basel, established in collaboration with the African Centre for Cities at the University of Cape Town. The program's renowned and emerging urbanists demonstrate the power of working with care and reciprocity across different contexts and institutions, driven by engagement with varied communities of practice. They show how alternative urban futures can be imagined by addressing the historical injustices and global entanglements that shape the urban present. The book is tailored to students, graduates, and teachers of urban studies and related disciplines including architecture, urban design, human geography, architectural history, and urban anthropology.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKenny Cupers\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of architecture history and urbanism at the University of Basel. \u003cb\u003eSophie Oldfield\u003c\/b\u003e is professor at and chair of the Department of City and Regional Planning in the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning at Cornell University, and a lecturer at the University of Cape Town's African Center for Cities. \u003cb\u003eManuel Herz\u003c\/b\u003e is an architect and served as assistant professor of Architectural, Urban, and Territorial Planning at the University of Basel 2016-20. \u003cb\u003eLaura Nkula\u003c\/b\u003e-\u003cb\u003eWenz\u003c\/b\u003e is a lecturer in the critical urbanisms MA Program at the University of Basel and in the African Centre for Cities at the University of Cape Town. \u003cb\u003eEmilio Distretti\u003c\/b\u003e works as a postdoctoral fellow in architecture history and urbanism at the University of Basel. \u003cb\u003eMyriam Perret\u003c\/b\u003e is an architect who previously worked in the critical urbanisms MA Program at the University of Basel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 204\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9.37 x 6.54 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 25, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42157481427079,"sku":"9783038602828","price":64.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/97462299867452eec7282df46ca29bf1.webp?v=1733251184","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/what-is-critical-urbanism-urban-research-as-pedagogy-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
