The first instalment of The Place Economy reveals the real world social and economic benefits of effective placemaking, exploring the benefits for developers and investors as well as broader societal outcomes. In this book, you will discover in-depth case studies and expert voices from Australia and 10 other countries, including Korea, Singapore, the United States, England, Denmark, Holland, New Zealand, China and Belgium. Together, across 408 pages, our contributors – from fields such as planning, architecture, materials, green space, amenities and cultural connections – present a picture of the prosperity we can all enjoy, as industries, as businesses and, most importantly, as people, if we get to work now.
In Volume 2 of The Place Economy our attention travels from the macro to the micro – from nations to neighbourhoods, countries to communities. Close to 60 experts from eight different countries explore what can be achieved via high-quality visioning, placemaking, planning and design. We examine how spaces are used, analysing the things required to meet community needs, from residents and visitors to commercial entities and private individuals. We give detailed attention to the role place branding plays in enhancing outcomes at all levels and discover the various skills and disciplines required when creating destinations that meet the needs of different people across various geographic and cultural places.
As a project undertaken before, during and in the aftermath of a global pandemic, The Place Economy Volume 3 represents an increased appreciation of our need as humans for place and community. Spanning 80-plus stories, featuring the work of more than 100 global experts, you will find a celebration of the people, places and ideas that make cities great, alongside close examination of the barriers and challenges still facing communities in Australia and abroad. As with Volume 1 and 2, every story here presents compelling evidence of the better return on investment that occurs for developers and communities alike when insightful placemaking underpins a vision.
The Racketeer's Progress explores the contested and contingent origins of the modern American economy by examining the violent resistance to its development. Historians often portray Chicago as an unregulated industrial metropolis, composed of factories and immigrant labourers. In fact, the city was home to thousands of craftsmen - carpenters, teamsters, barbers, butchers, etc. - who formed unions and associations that governed commerce through pickets, assaults, and bombings. Working together, these groups forcefully challenged the power of national corporations and physically managed the development of mass culture in the city."--BOOK JACKET.
Sobo (Sophisticated Bohemian) started out in 2003 as a purple food truck in the parking lot behind a surf shop, way before food trucks were cool. Despite its remoteness, it attracted rave reviews from food media across North America, with the likes of Saveur magazine calling it: "perhaps the most exciting lunch stand in North America". The back of the staff's t-shirts read: "Quite possibly the second best thing you can do in a parking lot"--and that same fun, authentic West Coast vibe weaves throughout the stories and recipes in this book. Sobo has since become a destination restaurant, having outgrown its food truck beginnings, with visitors making the pilgrimage to the west coast of Vancouver Island just to taste chef Lisa Ahier's cooking--which is, to use Tofino slang, simply "killer". The restaurant's menu focuses on locally-sourced, seasonally-inspired ingredients from family-owned producers. The dishes are shaped by Lisa's Tex Mex and Southwestern culinary roots, and her experience gained across several US states, including her stint as executive chef of Cibolo Creek Ranch in Texas. The Sobo Cookbook includes over 100 of the restaurant's all-time favourite recipes--recipes that have fed surfers, hungry locals, curious visitors and die-hard foodies alike.

What is Architectural History? considers the questions and problems posed by architectural historians since the rise of the discipline in the late nineteenth century. How do historians of architecture organise past time and relate it to the present? How does historical evidence translate into historical narrative? Should architectural history be useful for practicing architects? If so, how? Leach treats the disciplinarity of architectural history as an open question, moving between three key approaches to historical knowledge of architecture: within art history, as an historical specialisation and, most prominently, within architecture. He suggests that the confusions around this question have been productive, ensuring a rich variety of approaches to the project of exploring architecture historically. Read alongside introductory surveys of western and global architectural history, this book will open up questions of perspective, frame, and intent for students of architecture, art history, and history. Graduate students and established architectural historians will find much in this book to fuel discussions over the current state of the field in which they work.
In the nineteenth century, restaurants served French food to upper-class Americans with aristocratic pretensions, but by the turn of the century, even the best restaurants cooked ethnic and American foods for middle-class urbanites. In Turning the Tables, Andrew P. Haley examines how the transformation of public dining that established the middle class as the arbiter of American culture was forged through battles over French-language menus, scientific eating, cosmopolitan cuisines, unescorted women, un-American tips, and servantless restaurants.

Where coffee is love and life. Every morning Europe stirs to the hissing of a million espresso machines. On the continent where barely a coffee bean grows, coffee drinking is a cult, a creed, an art and an addiction. Coffee trickled into Europe from the Ottoman Empire through the salon parties of the wealthy and fashion conscious during the 16th century. But today there is no beverage that is more egalitarian or popular. Coffee has long sustained the avant-garde of Europe: the writers, the philosophers and the artists. Revolution has percolated through the cafes, borne on cigarette smoke and the aroma of freshly ground coffee. The European cafe has myriad faces: the bourgeois coffee salons of 19th century Paris, the rudimentary workers' coffeehouses that emerged as meeting places for the proletariat, the chic espresso bars in central Milan and the prolific sports bars that are the lifeblood of every Italian neighbourhood. As diverse as they are, European cafes are united by a common pursuit -- the perfect coffee. Café Amoré is an evocative journey through Europe's famous, and sometimes notorious cafes. Photographer, Robert Blackburn and creative director, Andrew Hoyne, were mugged, hustled and chased around the continent. They also made new friends in languages they don't speak. This is a unique photographic celebration of cafe-culture in Europe, where coffee is religion.
