Series Statement: Law, Governance, and Development

Content: This volume provides new insights in the concept of shari'a in the West, and sets out a framework of how shari'a in the West can be studied. The premise of this volume is that one needs to focus on the question 'What do Muslims do in terms of shari'a?' rather than 'What is shari'a?'. This perspective shows that the practice of Sharia is restricted to a limited set of rules that mainly relate to religious rituals, family law and social interaction. The framework of this volume then continues to explore two more interactions: the Western responses to these practices of shari'a and, in turn, the Muslim legal reaction to these responses

Content: This book explores how cities are shaped by the lived experiences of inhabitants and examines the ways they develop strategies to cope with daily and unexpected challenges. It argues that migration, livelihood, and public health challenges result from inadequacies in the hard city—urban assets, such as land, infrastructure, and housing, and asserts that these challenges and escalating vulnerabilities are best negotiated using the soft city—social capital and community networks. In so doing, the authors criticise a singular knowledge system and argue for a granular, nuanced understanding of cities—of the interrelations between people in places, everyday urbanisms, social relationships, cultural practices, and histories. The volume presents perspectives from the Global South and the Global North and engages with city-specific cases from Africa, India, and Europe for a deeper understanding of resilience. Part of the Urban Futures series, it will be of great interest to students and researchers of urban studies, urban planning, urban management, architecture, urban sociology, urban design, ecology, conservation, and urban sustainability. It will also be useful for urbanists, architects, urban sociologists, city and town planners, policy makers, and those interested in a deeper understanding of the contemporary and future city.

Content: Across the world, advances are being made in the development of connected and automated mobility. At first it was expected that the technology would make a positive contribution to many traffic-related problems: from increasing road safety and reducing greenhouse gas emissions to freeing up space and making streets more appealing as public spaces. However, these effects are by no means guaranteed - by contrast: it is becoming increasingly clear that the introduction of this technology must be well managed if the anticipated benefits are to be achieved. Based on the results of the four-year research project AVENUE21 at the TU Wien, this volume brings together the findings of international authors. Divided into four topic areas - mobility and transport, public space, spatial development and governance - various perspectives as well as example applications and planning solutions related to connected and automated mobility are described in a global context. The result that emerges is an overview of international approaches to how automated driving systems can be introduced in a targeted manner in the interests of sustainable mobility and settlement development while also taking into account current (local) challenges. The volume thus complements previous studies by asking not what impacts connected and automated vehicles will have, but rather for what purpose, where and in what form connected and automated mobility is actually needed. About the editors: The research on which this book is based was conducted by an interdisciplinary team at the Faculty of Architecture and Spatial Planning at the TU Wien together with international experts. The research project AVENUE21 was funded as Ladenburg Kolleg by the Daimler and Benz Foundation.
