Book Description
Race, Faith and Planning in Britain adopts a Critical Race Theory perspective to analyse and discuss challenges of planning in contemporary multi-ethnic Britain.

Authors Richard Gale and Huw Thomas pay special attention to the experiences of minority groups in Britain, including Gypsies and Travellers, and British Muslims. They underline that the struggle over planning in racialised societies must be construed as part of a wider political struggle over equality. This book is an essential read for students and practitioners of planning in multi-cultural contexts.

ISBN: 9781695152397

Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
The health and fitness journal created especially by and for Christian women.I gave up on my dreams of achieving the perfect figure. Not because I lost hope, but because I've realized that those dreams don't honor the woman God created me to be. Throughout my health journey, I've struggled to find a balance between being healthy and being fit. I was on a constant roller coaster, limiting myself to what I could eat, then punishing myself when I broke those self-imposed rules. The battle in my mind was fierce and it was slowly eating away at me! Psalm 139:14 says: I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Do you know that? Do you believe that? God made you perfectly you. Are you taking care of the woman He created? Are you living your life as a temple to our Holy God? Do you have what it takes? Of course you do! Intention...that's all you need. You are capable of being a healthier version of you, but you are the only one who can do it. This may not mean you'll end up skinny. Sometimes skinny isn't healthy, and sometimes a little thicker isn't unhealthy either. (Can I get an amen here?!?!)God created you unique and beautiful. So focus on being who He sees you as instead of trying to fit into the world's picture of beautiful. It's life-changing!If you are working on your health, working out, getting enough sleep, eating better you WILL notice changes. You WILL feel better. You WILL BE healthier. Intentional You was created to be a tool to help you get healthy. Can you commit to your health for 30 days? Can you commit to journaling, planning and tracking for 30 days? Can you make small changes and achieve them for 30 days? Are you ready to celebrate the small wins along the journey? Then this journal was created for you! I designed the Intentional You journal with my daughter. She was picking up on my un-healthy attitudes towards my own health and at that moment I KNEW something had to change. She and I were talking about wanting to be healthy (read NOT skinny!). At 14, she wasn't yet sure what that looked like. So we came up with an actionable plan to give our bodies the attention they need to be as healthy as possible. And that plan turned into this journal...The Intentional You health and fitness journal includes:-30 days of goal tracking: Water intake, workouts, meal plan, small goals, a to-do list and habit tracker to keep you focused on the important things.-Spiritual Health: God didn't leave us to do this on our own. So each day includes a Bible passage for you to look up and journal. -Spending time in His Word daily is a huge part of our health plan.-Personal Goals: A place to celebrate small wins and encourage yourself to move forward-30 Day Challenge: You choose 6 goals that are important to you on your journal and track your progress.-Food Ideas: A place for you to brainstorm healthy food options to glance at when you want to reach for the junk food quick-fix.-Healthy Habits: A graph tracker that allows you to watch your daily progress in different areas: Sleep, daily steps, Bible reading, prayer, workouts and more.

Alternative Planning History and Theory
Author: Dorina Pojani
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000798445
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
This book includes twelve newly commissioned and carefully curated chapters each of which presents an alternative planning history and theory written from the perspective of groups that have been historically marginalized or neglected. In teaching planning history and theory, many planning programs tend to follow the planning cannon - a normative perspective that mostly accounts for the experience of white, Anglo, Christian, middle class, middle aged, heterosexual, able-bodied, men. This book takes a unique approach. It provides alternative planning history and theory timelines for each of the following groups: women, the poor, LGBTQ+ communities, people with disabilities, older adults, children, religious minorities, people of color, migrants, Indigenous people, and colonized peoples (in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Anglophone Africa). To allow for easy cross-comparison, chapters follow a similar chronological structure, which extends from the late 19th century into the present. The authors provide insights into the core planning issues in each time period, and review the different stances and critiques. The book is a must-read for planning students and instructors. Each chapter includes the following pedagogical features: (1) a boxed case study which presents a recent example of positive change to showcase theory in practice; (2) a table which lays out an alternative planning history and theory timeline for the group covered in the chapter; and (3) suggestions for further study comprising non-academic sources such as books, websites, and films.

Research Tracks in Urbanism: Dynamics, Planning and Design in Contemporary Urban Territories
Author: Alessia Allegri
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 100046413X
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Maybe the Global Village metaphor has never been more accurate than it is today, where societies join forces in the fight against the COVID 19 pandemic, in a global coordinated effort, possibly never tested before in the known history of Humankind. Although we are sure that in the past some other shared demands have united the different peoples of the world, this has never been so strongly necessary, mainly in what the global scientific community is concerned. This is a fight for the survival of a society. However, we should not lose sight of what we are fighting for. We fight together for people. Not just for the abstract value of Human life, but for life in society as a whole, including its moral and ethical aspects. The topics of this book are based on this claim, on what makes it possible. We do not build our lives in a vacuum, or in distant Invisible Cities, but through a higher value, which represents physical life in society: the City, built by the discipline of Urbanism. This book is a spin-off of the International Research Seminar on Urbanism_SIIU2020. Inspired by the contents of twelve research seminars, a group of researchers from the universities of Barcelona, Lisbon and São Paulo discuss the contemporary agenda of research in Urbanism. Following the conference, a selection of 35 original double-blind peer-reviewed research papers were brought together with different perspectives about such an agenda.

Gender Smart Mobility
Author: Hilda Rømer Christensen
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000923541
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
This book presents gender and diversity in smart transport as a cutting-edge issue in urban contexts around the globe. It addresses new challenges and possibilities related to the smart transport sector. It demonstrates how gender and diversity are entangled in concepts and various forms of current smart mobility practices in policy, planning, and innovation. Gender Smart Mobility is presented as a game changer for future transport planning and mobility practices and how smart mobility technologies and practices might be created as a common good for all. The readers are presented with fresh approaches ranging from intersectional and visual analysis of smart mobility, gender scripts and language, to gendered innovation of design and planning. Moreover, the readers will encounter engaging boxed features which present historical, cross-cultural, and methodological examples and pose questions for critical thinking. This book meets a need for a systematic, accessible, and practical introduction and is of interest to city planners, transport providers, and politicians as well as the general public. It will also be a valuable reference for graduate and postgraduate students at technical universities, schools of architecture and planning, and for students and faculties in the social sciences, humanities, and IT and design studies.

Theologies and Practices of Inclusion
Author: Nina Kurlberg
Publisher: SCM Press
ISBN: 0334060575
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
Inclusion has recently become a high priority issue within the development sector, brought to the fore by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development's commitment to leave no one behind. Practices within the remit of inclusion often focus on increasing access and meaningful participation, with emphasis placed on bringing those at the margins to the centre. Theologies and Practices of Inclusion challenges such centre-focused practices from a global perspective, based on research conducted within the Christian relief, development and advocacy organisation Tearfund and beyond. Offering inspiration for practitioners within the sector and faith-based organisations in particular, as well as an academic contribution to the fields of international development studies and theology, the book aims to bridge theology and practice in an accessible way. Consisting of 13 chapters and case studies, this book draws on the wisdom of a diverse team of contributors at the forefront of international development, working in a variety of contexts. These include South Africa, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Kenya, Rwanda, Ecuador, Panama, Bolivia, the Philippines, Iraq, Egypt and the UK. Highlighting ‘journey’, ‘change’ and ‘belonging’ as three key aspects of inclusion, the book explores the outworking of theologies of inclusion within organisational practice. With a foreword by Ruth Valerio, and an afterword by Catriona Dejean.

Territories of Faith
Author: Sven Sterken
Publisher: Leuven University Press
ISBN: 9462703094
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
A novel and interdisciplinary perspective on post-war church building In the 1950s and 1960s, thousands of churches were built across Europe in an attempt to keep up with the continent's rapid urbanisation. This book addresses the immense effort related to the planning, financing, and construction of this new religious infrastructure. Going beyond aspects of style and liturgy, and transcending a focus on particular architects or regions, this volume considers church building at the crossroads of pastoral theology, religious sociology, and urban planning. Presenting the rich palette of strategies and methods deployed by congregations, dioceses, government bodies, and private patrons in their attempt to secure a religious presence in the rapidly modernising world, Territories of Faith offers a broad view of the practice of religion and its material expression in the fast-evolving (sub)urban landscapes of post-war Europe.
