Divided Cities – Belfast, Beirut, Jerusalem, Mostar, and Nicosia: The City in the Twenty-First Century
Autor Jon Calame, Esther Charlesworth, Lebbeus Woodsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 mai 2012
"Divided Cities" explores the logic of violent urban partition along ethnic lines when it occurs, who supports it, what it costs, and why seemingly healthy cities succumb to it. Planning and conservation experts Jon Calame and Esther Charlesworth offer a warning beacon to a growing class of cities torn apart by ethnic rivals. Field-based investigations in Beirut, Belfast, Jerusalem, Mostar, and Nicosia are coupled with scholarly research to illuminate the history of urban dividing lines, the social impacts of physical partition, and the assorted professional responses to "self-imposed apartheid." Through interviews with people on both sides of a divide residents, politicians, taxi drivers, built-environment professionals, cultural critics, and journalists they compare the evolution of each urban partition along with its social impacts. The patterns that emerge support an assertion that division is a gradual, predictable, and avoidable occurrence that ultimately impedes intercommunal cooperation. With the voices of divided-city residents, updated partition maps, and previously unpublished photographs, "Divided Cities" illuminates the enormous costs of physical segregation."

Recenzii
"An interesting interjection into a growing debate about violence in contemporary cities... The book provides food for thought for both scholars of international politics and practitioners of urban planning at a time when violence in and against the city is rising up the agenda for both."-Cambridge Review of International Affairs
