City planning is the key-stone to tackle the question of climate-change and to involve adequate action. In Part I of this book; the theory of space-economy is presented. Opening up a new conceptual and operational toolbox for policy makers; practitioners and scholars; the theory of space-economy is based on a rigorously structured thinking and acting in the field of sustainable urban planning and architecture.Europe has the greatest experience in sustainable city planning worldwide. In Part II; four of the most remarkable experiences (Vauban in Freiburg i.B.; Kronsberg in Hannover; Western Harbour in Malmouml;; Hammarby Sjouml;stad in Stockholm) are presented; dissected conceptually and operationally a radically new way. The interest of the approach is not limited to European countries.In Part III is developed a project in Asia; in Ho Chi Minh City; faced with dramatic threats due to climate change and rapidly growing tidal and sea-level rise. Based on the experiences presented in Part II; the approach is integrated in this completely different context; thus becoming fully effective at a much bigger scale.

Moses Avalon has done it again. A classic music business book.By Xenon 6Why 100 answers to 50 questions? The same question can have 2 different answers depending on where you are in your career. Well researched and lots of knowledge from an experienced industry insider; not a wanna-be.A real page turner if you are in the music business.I have met and talked with Moses in the past and was stunned to find my name in the Acknowledgements in the back!
