Designing Futures : Speculation, Critique, Innovation
The ability to imagine different possible futures and the will to influence the course of events are deeply human.These ideas about the future can also determine which of the many possible futures will become reality.Designing futures therefore means that by creating and communicating potential scenarios, you can shape the futures of your fellow human beings and influence the course of events.Design is becoming more strategic as a discipline, moving away from 'making things beautiful' to 'thinking creatively'.This book provides designers with the methods and tools they need to develop discussable and tangible scenarios.It also outlines ways for creative people, activists and decision-makers in politics, science and the wider society to imagine more desirable futures. - With over 500 illustrations. - Case studies from across the world. - Foreword by Riel Miller, senior fellow at the École des Ponts Business School, the University of Stavanger and the University of New Brunswick.

speculation, n.
Poems that imagine a world beyond the prevailing public speculation on Black death. Shayla Lawz’s debut collection, speculation, n., brings together poetry, sound, and performance to challenge our spectatorship and the reproduction of the Black body.It revolves around a central question: what does it mean—in the digital age, amidst an inundation of media—to be a witness?Calling attention to the images we see in the news and beyond, these poems explore what it means to be alive and Black when the world regularly speculates on your death.The speaker, a queer Black woman, considers how often her body is coupled with images of death and violence, resulting in difficultly moving toward life.Lawz becomes the speculator by imagining what might exist beyond these harmful structures, seeking ways to reclaim the Black psyche through music, typography, and other pronunciations of the body, where expressions of sexuality and the freedom to actively reimagine is made possible. speculation, n. contends with the real—a refracted past and present—through grief, love, and loss, and it speculates on what could be real if we open ourselves to expanded possibilities. speculation, n. won the 2020 Autumn House Poetry Prize, selected by Ilya Kaminsky.

Broken City : Land Speculation, Inequality, and Urban Crisis
How can urban housing, and the land underneath, now account for half of all global wealth?According to Patrick Condon, the simple answer is that land has become an asset rather than a utility.If the rich only indulged themselves with gold, jewels, and art, we wouldn’t have a global housing crisis.But once global capital markets realized land was a good speculative investment, runaway housing costs ensued.In just one city, Vancouver, land prices increased by 600 percent between 2008 and 2016.How much wealth have investors extracted from urban land?In this engaging, readable, and clearly reasoned treatise, Patrick Condon explains how we have let land, our most durable resource, shift away from the common good – and proposes bold strategies that cities in North America could use to shift it back.

Understanding Urban Cycling : Exploring the Relationship Between Mobility, Sustainability and Capital
Academic interest in cycling has burgeoned in recent years with significant literature relating to the health and environmental benefits of cycling, the necessity for cycle-specific infrastructure, and the embodied experiences of cycling. Based upon primary research in a variety of contexts such as London, Shanghai and Taipei, this book demonstrates that recent developments in urban cycling policy and practice are closely linked to broader processes of capital accumulation.It argues that cycling is increasingly caught up in discourses around smart cities that emphasise technological solutions to environmental problems and neoliberal ideas on individual responsibility and bio-political conduct, which only results in solutions that prioritise those who are already mobile.Accordingly, the central argument of the book is not that the popularisation of cycling is inherently bad, but that the manner in which cycling is being popularised gives cause for social and environmental concern.Ultimately the book argues that cycling has now become a vehicle for sustaining pro-growth agendas rather than subverting them or shifting to sustainable no-growth/de-growth and less technologically driven visions of modernity. This book makes an innovative contribution to the fields of Cycling Studies, Mobilities and Transport and will be of interest to students and academics working in Human Geography, Transport Studies, Urban Studies, Urban Planning, Public Policy, Sociology and Sustainability.
