Sinopsis

Slum Development Patterns explores why informal settlements persist despite urban planning efforts. The book examines the socio-economic and political factors driving slum development, arguing it's a predictable outcome of specific conditions, not a random occurrence. It's crucial for understanding urban poverty, migration patterns, and housing policy, especially in the developing world where rapid urbanization fuels the growth of these settlements. One intriguing insight is how inadequate land tenure security often exacerbates the problem.

 
The book progresses from establishing a theoretical framework rooted in urban economics and political science to systematically analyzing key drivers like poverty, unemployment, and rural-to-urban migration. It delves into housing policies, evaluating their effectiveness in providing affordable housing and upgrading existing slums, and uses case studies to support its arguments. The book highlights the need for integrated approaches to address the root causes of slum development, emphasizing connections to public health, environmental sustainability, and social justice.

    Transportation planners, engineers, and policymakers in the United States face the monumental task of righting the wrongs of their predecessors while charting the course for the next generation. This task requires empathy while pushing against forces in the industry that are resistant to change. How do you change a system that was never designed to be equitable? How do you change a system that continues to divide communities? 
     
     
     
    In Inclusive Transportation, transportation expert Veronica O. Davis shines a light on the inequitable and often destructive practice of transportation planning and engineering. She calls for new thinking and more diverse leadership to create transportation networks that connect people to jobs, education, opportunities, and to each other. Inclusive Transportation is a vision for change and a new era of transportation planning. Davis explains why centering people in transportation decisions requires a great shift in how transportation planners and engineers are trained, how they communicate, the kind of data they collect, and how they work as professional teams. 
     
     
     
    Davis aims to disrupt the status quo of the transportation industry. She urges transportation professionals to reflect on past injustices and elevate current practice to do the hard work that results in more than an idea and a catchphrase.

    The Institutes of Justinian is a component of the Corpus Juris Civilis, the sixth-century codification of Roman law ordered by the Byzantine emperor Justinian I. It is largely based upon the Institutes of Gaius, a Roman jurist of the second century A.D. The other parts of the Corpus Juris Civilis are the Digest, the Codex Justinianus, and the Novellae Constitutiones ("New Constitutions" or "Novels"). Justinian's Institutes was one part of his effort to codify Roman law and to reform legal education, of which the Digest also was a part. Whereas the Digest was to be used by advanced law students, Justinian's Institutes was to be a textbook for new students. The Institutes of Justinian is arranged much like Gaius's work, being divided into three books covering "persons," "things,", and "actions." Unlike the Digest, the extracts do not provide inscriptions indicating from whom the original material was taken.
