The Dutch Urban Areas Special Measures Act is a national policy in the Netherlands intended to improve the quality of life in distressed neighborhoods. The Act allows a municipality to designate neighborhoods where the municipality can alter the demographic composition through a housing permit system that regulates access to homes. Cities are allowed to deny permits for residence and therefore exclude in-moving people who do not have an income from work or who have certain police records. What began as a policy experiment in the City of Rotterdam animated by a far-right anti-immigrant movement, the Act is now an institutionalized policy accessible to any city in the Netherlands. In this thesis I present two key missing perspectives on the Dutch Urban Areas Act: how other Dutch cities are using the Act after its origins in Rotterdam and how to understand the Act through analytical frameworks around race. With these perspectives on the Dutch Urban Area Act I present two distinct arguments. The first is that the Dutch Urban Areas Act's diffusion to cities outside of Rotterdam is in conflict with its own statuary basis. Through a complete reassessment of the Acts social and political origins in Rotterdam, my second core argument is that the Dutch Urban Areas Act was conceived to be a spatial policy of racial exclusion. The foundations of the Urban Areas Act, as developed in Rotterdam in the early 2000s, are the same ideas of controlling the movement of a racialized group of people as expressed by state sanctioned segregation policies found historically in the United States and South Africa.

The perceptibly changing climate has resulted in more precipitation in a small number of short periods. As most urban water management systems were developed at a time when precipitation was distributed more evenly throughout the year, they cannot deal properly with the new circumstances, and high groundwater levels and excess water are the result. In practice, many urban dwellers are consequently confronted with flooded cellars and inaccessible urban infrastructure. To solve these phenomena in the future, a major part of the urban water programmes for the next few decades consists of restructuring and transformation of the existing urban areas, in which water management is considered as an integral part of urban renewal activities and in which its capacity is compliant with the urban area scale. With an integral approach, this book treats the relation of urbanism and water management in Dutch water cities. It also treats the financial aspects of the adjustment of existing water systems to meet the changes in the urban hydrological cycle. It presents the typology of typical current and future Dutch water cities, their urban function and the ecological and technical aspects. Separate chapters deal with the transformation of the historical city, the consolidation of the inter-war city and the restructuring of the post-war city to meet future conditions. The final chapter presents a comparison of the Dutch situation with South Korean (Seoul), Japanese (Tokyo) and German (Ruhr area) urban areas.

The revised and updated third edition of The Making of Urban America includes seven new articles and a richly detailed historiographical essay that discusses the vast urban history literature added to the canon since the publication of the second edition. The authors’ extensively revised introductions and the fifteen reprinted articles trace urban development from the preindustrial city to the twentieth-century city. With emphasis on the social, economic, political, commercial, and cultural aspects of urban history, these essays illustrate the growth and change that created modern-day urban life. Dynamic topics such as technology, immigration and ethnicity, suburbanization, sunbelt cities, urban political history, and planning and housing are examined. The Making of Urban America is the only reader available that covers all of U.S. urban history and that also includes the most recent interpretive scholarship on the subject.

The rise of cities in the United States from the early seventeenth century to the 1960s is the subject of this sophisticated and witty appraisal by a Pulitzer Prize historian. Constance McLaughlin Green traces the forces - economic, political, social - that led to today's urban civilization, beginning with the growth of colonial seaports and local government, the rise of new cities that competed for wealth and power with the older cities, the spread of industrialization, transportation and communications that made complex city life possible. She discussed the influence of city life on art and architecture, the impact of depression and prosperity upon urban centres, and analyses present-day problems - race-relations, the population explosion, automation, the rise of suburbia, and the development of the 'megapolis' that links city with city in one vast urban interstate region. This book was first published in 1966.
