Abstract: This research uses extended case studies undertaken in two artists' neighbourhoods, the Hong Kong's Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre in Shek Kip Mei and Taipei's Treasure Hill Village in Gongguan, to examine how historical state-owned spaces in old urban cores now have become new sites of production for artists and arts practitioners. It addresses how and why the two cities, with similar histories and urban strategies, have created and defined the artists' neighbourhoods in different ways, resulting in diverse paths of socio-spatial development. Hong Kong and Taipei have constituted the few examples amongst East Asian cities that have converted state-owned properties into artists' clusters under the management of non-profit organizations in recent years. In both cities, artists have become a vanguard for the revitalization of urban spaces that aim to serve the interests of the state, the cultural sector and local community through place-making practices, which entail participation in the production of meaning and local specificities of a place. Research on urban cultural strategies of East Asian cities has put more emphasis on the political-economic factors as shaping cultural spaces but little on the social dynamics involved in spatial production. This study suggests that the new form of artists' clusters in Hong Kong and Taipei requires an approach that incorporates the social dimension of space into an analysis of the artists' neighbourhoods, which have tended to be less economically driven than the art districts run by business corporations. By focusing on Hong Kong and Taipei, this study shows that not only are the orientation and socio-spatial outcomes of the two artist neighbourhoods shaped by history and state definitions of cultural governance, but also by the social dynamics on the ground as configured by the different compositions of cultural space, the relationships between the management, cultural producers and local community, as well as their associated spatial practices. This study demonstrates that Hong Kong's Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre exemplifies a regulated space that has been shaped by contentious politics, in which incompatible spatial practices between the management by the non-profit company and the artists have created confrontations on a daily basis. The tendency of the non-profit company toward management practices, accommodating leisure and consumption experience, and including a wide variety of artistic experience has created contradictions and undermined social cohesion within the artist community. In the case of Taipei, Treasure Hill Village manifested the civic orientation of the state in cultural governance. The officials' endorsements of social activists as cultural planners and artists as the drivers for community revitalization have reinforced public participation in cultural activities and public meanings of cultural space. The primary aim to foster collective sense of action within the artist community and the local residents in promoting civic engagement and social inclusion through arts has generated greater cohesion among the local actors. The differences between the two cases suggest that social dynamics have been central to how the experimental processes in place-making are realised and unfolded.

Take a story and shrink it. Make it tiny, so small it can fit in the palm of your hand. Carry the story with you everywhere, let it sit with you while you eat, let it watch you while you sleep. Keep it safe, you never know when you might need it. In Kawakami's super short 'palm of the hand' stories the world is never quite as it should be: a small child lives under a sheet near his neighbour's house for thirty years; an apartment block leaves its visitors with strange afflictions, from fast-growing beards to an ability to channel the voices of the dead; an old man has two shadows, one docile, the other rebellious; two girls named Yoko are locked in a bitter rivalry to the death. Small but great, you'll find great delight spending time with the people in this neighbourhood.

Placemaking—personalizing public and semi-private spaces like front yards—is a growing trend in cities and suburbs around the world, drawing people out of their homes and into conversation with one another. Picture a busy avenue. Now plant trees along the boulevard, paint a mural by the empty lot, and add a community garden. Set up benches along the sidewalks and make space for kids' chalk drawings, and you've set the scene for a thriving community. Kids are natural placemakers, building tree forts, drawing on sidewalks and setting up lemonade stands, but people of all ages can enjoy creative placemaking activities. From Dutch families who drag couches and tables onto sidewalks for outdoor suppers to Canadians who build little lending libraries to share books with neighbors, people can do things that make life more fun and strengthen neighborhoods. Home Sweet Neighborhood combines upbeat text, fun facts and colorful photos to intrigue and inspire readers.

This book presents a critical analysis of the power and opportunity created in the implementation of community engaged practices within art museums, by looking at the networks connecting art museums to community organizations, artists and residents. The Art Museum Redefined places the interaction of art museums and urban neighbourhoods as the central focus of the study, to investigate how museums and artists collaborate with residents and local community groups. Rather than defining the community solely from the perspective of a museum looking out at its audience, the research examines the larger networks of art organizing and creative activism connected to the museum that are active across the neighbourhood. Taylor's research encompasses the grassroots efforts of local groups and their collaboration with museums and other art institutions that are extending their reach outside their physical walls and into the community. This focus on social engagement speaks to recent emphasis in cultural policy on cultural equity and inclusion, creative place-making and community engagement at neighbourhood and city-levels, and will be of interest to students, scholars and policy-makers alike.

This book explores the ways in which the broad range of technologies that make up the smart city infrastructure can be harnessed to incorporate more playfulness into the day-to-day activities that take place within smart cities, making them not only more efficient but also more enjoyable for the people who live and work within their confines. The book addresses various topics that will be of interest to playable cities stakeholders, including the human–computer interaction and game designer communities, computer scientists researching sensor and actuator technology in public spaces, urban designers, and (hopefully) urban policymakers. This is a follow-up to another book on Playable Cities edited by Anton Nijholt and published in 2017 in the same book series, Gaming Media and Social Effects.

City-making is an art, not a formula. The skills required to re-enchant the city are far wider than the conventional ones like architecture, engineering and land-use planning. There is no simplistic, ten-point plan, but strong principles can help send good city-making on its way. The vision for 21st century cities must be to be the most imaginative cities for the world rather than in the world. This one change of word - from 'in' to 'for' - gives city-making an ethical foundation and value base. It helps cities become places of solidarity where the relations between the individual, the group, outsiders to the city and the planet are in better alignment. Following the widespread success of The Creative City, this new book, aided by international case studies, explains how to reassess urban potential so that cities can strengthen their identity and adapt to the changing global terms of trade and mass migration. It explores the deeper fault-lines, paradoxes and strategic dilemmas that make creating the 'good city' so difficult.
