Conflict. 330 $aGlobal Downtowns reconsiders one of the defining features of urban life-the energy and exuberance that characterize downtown areas-within a framework of contemporary globalization and change. It analyzes the iconic centers of global cities through individual case studies from Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the United States, considering issues of function, population, imagery, and growth. Contributors to the volume use ethnographic and cultural analysis to identify downtowns as products of the activities of planners, power elites, and consumers and as zones of conflict and competition. Whether claiming space on a world stage through architecture, media events, or historical tourism or facing the claims of different social groups for a place at the center, downtowns embody the heritage of the modern city and its future.Essays draw on extensive fieldwork and archival study in Beijing, Barcelona, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dar es Salaam, Dubai, Nashville, Lima, Philadelphia, Mumbai, Havana, Beirut, and Paris, among other cities. They examine the visions of planners and developers, cultural producers, governments, theoreticians, immigrants, and outcasts. Through these perspectives, the book explores questions of space and place, consumption, mediation, and images as well as the processes by which urban elites learn from each other as well as contest local hegemony.Global Downtowns raises important questions for those who work with issues of urban centrality in governance, planning, investment, preservation, and social reform. The volume insists that however important the narratives of individual spaces-theories of American downtowns, images of global souks, or diasporic formations of ethnic enclaves as interconnected nodes-they also must be situated within a larger, dynamic framework of downtowns as centers of modern urban imagination. 410 0$aCity in the twenty-first century book series. 606 $aCity planning$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCentral business districts 606 $aUrban anthropology 606 $aCulture and globalization 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCity planning$xHistory 615 0$aCentral business districts. 615 0$aUrban anthropology. 615 0$aCulture and globalization. 676 $a307.3/4209 701 $aMcDonogh$b Gary W$01034177 701 $aPeterson$b Marina$0328235 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452949903321 996 $aGlobal downtowns$92453142 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01306nam 2200421 450 001 9910164215703321 005 20230809222713.0 010 $a1-4988-1526-X 035 $a(CKB)3710000001057517 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4802777 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000001057517 100 $a20170303h20172017 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 10$aMiscellaneous intestinal protozoa $eglobal status /$fStephen Berger, MD ; cover design by GIDEON Informatics, Inc 205 $a2017 edition. 210 1$aLos Angeles, California :$cGIDEON Informatics, Inc.,$d2017. 210 4$dİ2017 215 $a1 online resource (86 pages) $ccolor illustrations, tables 225 1 $aGideon E-Book Series 410 0$aGideon e-book series. 606 $aProtozoan diseases$vStatistics 606 $aIntestines$xInfections$vStatistics 615 0$aProtozoan diseases 615 0$aIntestines$xInfections 676 $a362.196936 700 $aBerger$b Stephen$01210032 712 02$aGideon Informatics, Inc., 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910164215703321 996 $aMiscellaneous intestinal protozoa$93410259 997 $aUNINA LEADER 06041nam 2200865Ia 450 001 9910957093003321 005 20250905105717.0 010 $a9786611010126 010 $a9781281010124 010 $a128101012X 010 $a9780080477268 010 $a0080477267 035 $a(CKB)1000000000341407 035 $a(EBL)226738 035 $a(OCoLC)701840317 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000139074 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11146826 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000139074 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10017276 035 $a(PQKB)10862813 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL226738 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10254611 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL101012 035 $a(CaSebORM)9781558608610 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC226738 035 $a(PPN)150196237 035 $a(OCoLC)824882230 035 $a(OCoLC)ocn824882230 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000341407 100 $a20041228d2004 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aDigital geometry $egeometric methods for digital picture analysis /$fReinhard Klette, Azriel Rosenfeld 205 $a1st edition 210 $aAmsterdam ;$aBoston $cElsevier $cMorgan Kaufman Publishers$dc2004 215 $a1 online resource (675 p.) 225 1 $aThe Morgan Kaufmann series in computer graphics and geometric modeling 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a9781493303724 311 08$a1493303724 311 08$a9781558608610 311 08$a1558608613 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aPreface; Structure of this Book; Contents; 1.

The field emerged from its mathematical roots some forty-years ago through work in computer-based imaging, and it is used today in many fields, such as digital image processing and analysis (with applications in medical imaging, pattern recognition, and robotics) and of course computer graphics. Digital Geometry is the first book to detail the concepts, algorithms, and practices of the discipline.
