Celebrate the Publication of Critical Planning Volume 16
Posted on September 25, 2009
On the heels of the American subprime mortgage collapse and the global financial crisis, the latest volume of Critical Planning , the UCLA Urban Planning Journal, explores the crisis-induced process of urban restructuring.
Volume 16 features a symposium on urban restructuring and the crisis with Neil Brenner, John Friedmann, Margit Mayer, Allen J. Scott, and Edward W. Soja, as well as articles on foreclosures in California, gentrification in Shanghai, rail station mega-projects in Berlin, New York, and London, and prospects for labor organizing in Bangladesh.
A launch event will be held Tuesday, October 13, 2009, 11:30 -1:00 pm in the School of Public Affairs’ fifth floor faculty lounge at which the recipient of this year's Edward W. Soja Prize, Alex Schafran (University of California, Berkeley), will give a talk based on his article, “Outside Endopolis: Notes from Contra Costa County.” The Edward W. Soja Prize for Critical Thinking in Urban and Regional Research is awarded to the best article published in each volume of Critical Planning.
