The Global Metropolitan Studies Program Inaugural Event

Lecture: Professor Sir Peter Hall
Monday, February 13,  2006, 5 - 6:30 p.m.
Wurster Hall Auditorium (Room 112)
Followed by a reception 6:30 - 7:15 in the
Wurster Hall first floor lobby (just outside the auditorium)

RSVP to: metrostudies@...

Sir Peter Hall
Bartlett Professor of Planning and Regeneration, University College London
Professor Emeritus, City and Regional Planning, and former Director,
Institute of Urban and Regional Development, University of California,
Berkeley

Sir Peter Hall is a geographer who has devoted his life to the study of the
world’s cities from every angle -- economic, demographic, cultural and
managerial. He has analyzed the relentless growth of urban populations and
the resulting problems of congestion, overcrowding, transportation and
delinquency, and he has made penetrating studies of the different solutions
which have been offered by generations of urban planners.

Peter Hall has written and edited nearly 40 books, including Sociable Cities
(1998), a penetrating analysis of the legacy of Ebenezer Howard; Cities of
Tomorrow (1988), a broad intellectual history of urban planning and design;
The World Cities (1966), an analysis of the development of seven great urban
regions of the world (London, Paris, New York, Moscow, Tokyo and the great
city complexes of Holland and the Rhine-Ruhr); and his magnum opus, Cities
in Civilization: Culture, Technology and Urban Order (1998), a comparative
cultural history of cities from ancient Athens to late 20th century London.

Sir Peter Hall was awarded the 2005 Balzan Prize for the social and cultural
history of cities since 1500 for his magisterial studies of urban planning
in modern times, his analysis of contemporary urban problems and his
penetrating reflections upon the development of the world’s cities over the
centuries.

The Global Metropolitan Studies Program

Global Metropolitan Studies is one of five new initiatives on the Berkeley
campus to foster interdisciplinary collaborations on areas of emerging
interest.  Startup funds have been provided for the first three years of the
initiative, which will be used to develop research agendas and eventually
attract outside funding.  The program will add five new faculty positions,
to be housed in the departments participating in the initiative
(Architecture, City and Regional Planning, Civil Engineering, Geography,
Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning, the Energy and Resources
Group, Environmental Sciences Policy and Management, Political Science,
Public Health, and Sociology).  The first listing is for a junior faculty in
Environmental Planning and Policy and closes this month. Two more searches
have been requested for Spring 2006, in infrastructure systems and in
comparative metro studies.   Along with the collaborative research programs,
three educational initiatives are planned:  (1) an Undergraduate Urban and
Metropolitan Studies Major; (2) an Interdisciplinary Graduate Group in
Comparative Metropolitan Studies; and (3) an Interdisciplinary Graduate
Group in Infrastructure and Environment

The Global Metropolitan Studies Executive Committee members are:
Co-directors Deakin and Evans; Peter Bosselmann (LAEP); David Dowall (IURD);
Michael Johns (Geography); Dan Kammen (ERG); Taeku Lee (Political Science);
and Samer Madanat (CE).

Jeff Mount
Director, UC Center for Watershed Science (UC Davis)

Tuesday, February 14
5:30pm - 7:00pm

Meet the speaker at a reception at the Water Resources Center Archives,

Light refreshments will be served.

Summary of lecture :
The Sacramento- San Joaquin Delta supplies the valley with water for
communities, agriculture, recreation, and habitats for fish and wildlife.
But the evolving landscape and ecosystem of the Delta are changing at a
pace that surpasses the scientific and political communities' ability to
respond. Professor Jeff Mount will be discussing the principal issues
impacting the future of the Delta and demonstrating how current trends will
affect the future of its waterways. He will also address the fact that the
"Delta debate" seems to be going nowhere. To conclude, Professor Mount will
outline six broad future options for this important water supply hub in
order to spark more discussion and debate.

TWO FULLY FUNDED PHD SCHOLARSHIPS

Urban and Regional Studies Institute (URSI)

Faculty of Spatial Sciences

University of Groningen

P.O. Box 800

9700 AV Groningen

THE NETHERLANDS



PhD 1: Undisclosed power relations in local democracy: examining
coalitions and implications for social justice

Supervisors: Dr. Justin Beaumont (j.r.beaumong@...), Prof. dr. G. de
Roo (g.de.roo@...) and Prof. dr. P.H. Pellenbarg
(p.h.pellenbarg@...)



PhD 2: Investigating faith-based organizations and urban social issues
from an international comparative perspective

Supervisors: Dr. Justin Beaumont (j.r.beaumong@...), Prof. dr. P.P.P.
Huigen (p.p.p.huigen@...) and Prof. dr. I. Hutter (i.hutter@...)





PhD 1:

The aim of the project is to reveal the relation between
situation-specific governance arrangements and their consequences in
terms of social justice and equity. The research will contribute to our
understanding of the parameters that determine urban politics and the
way in which they favour or exclude certain actors. Bringing these two
relatively distinct and autonomous strands together in an international
perspective lies at the core of the project. The significance of
governance arrangements in urban renewal projects as well as their
diversity around the globe is generally agreed upon. Several
contributions show a remarkable variety of local governance
arrangements. These arrangements inevitably imply a shift in the
distribution of and access to power in political decision-making. This
shift can lead to significant problems in urban political systems, as
specific actors or groups can become deprived of means to intervene, or
at least no longer have their interests acknowledged or taken into
account. The question is if and how partnerships or coalitions can and
do determine urban politics. How are they constructed, what interests do
they have and do they favour the participation of certain groups and
exclude others? And if so, what does this mean in terms of social
justice and equity in the urban realm? The question how the traditional
'triangle' of actors (state - market - civil society) interacts in
practice, in terms of interrelations, coalitions, alliances or networks
and what this implies in term of social equity, participation and
democratic legitimacy needs to be answered.



The concern of coalitions or partnerships directing local
decision-making in relation to problems of social justice has been
embedded over time in US literature, while European experiences are only
now on the ascendancy. Until now, there is no satisfying argument
explaining the absence of such coalitions in Europe. It is claimed that
such coalitions might just as well exist, possibly in another shape,
operating differently and with specific consequences that stand apart
from the US. The research starts from the presumption that we are able
to identify certain coalitions in Continental experiences that highly
influence local politics, and confine possibilities for participation of
certain local actors or groups. The question that becomes relevant is
how and why such coalitions differ from American experiences and what
this implies for the access power and decision-making. This access is
expected to be vital when justice or equity is at stake.



PhD 2:

This project will examine, describe and explain the ambiguous, contested
and changing governance characteristics and role of faith-based
organizations (FBOs) and social problems in the US, UK and NL. While
FBOs are a dominant force in US, it is expected that this role is
secondary to the state in the UK and NL. In these latter countries FBOs
perform a cradling function as the "underbelly" of the traditional state
welfare. Processes of neoliberalization in cities, however, are
potentially opening-up greater spaces for FBOs to enter into the fray of
political action against injustices. Addressing these issues from a
historical and spatial perspective, the project will consider the
lessons and practical implications for policy-makers and campaigners for
social justice in these countries.



Research shows that FBOs in the US are reaching out into the secular
world and 'de-privatizing' in new and sometimes contrasting ways. These
organizations are exploring possibilities for mainstream social service
provision as well as participating in progressive alliances to contest
entrepreneurial politics and for the achievement of social justice in
cities. The observed double dynamic simultaneously reflects new urban
political opportunities wrought by deepening processes of
neoliberalization and the historical specificities of associationist
civil society in the US. The two sides of the faith-based action on
poverty 'coin' reflect the enduring ideological variety of associational
life in the country. To what extent can we speak of similar developments
on the European Continent in other countries like The Netherlands and
also the UK? In this context, and in all international cases of the
project, the project asks what are the sociologies and organizational
geographies of FBO politicization. What accounts for the ideological and
political ambiguity of FBO activity in the social welfare realm and
their changes in time? What are the current activities and roles of FBOs
in addressing urban social problems? What role do FBOs have in
contemporary processes of welfare reform? To what extent are FBOs
implicated in urban policies? And what theoretical and conceptual tools
are at our disposal for explaining the hypothesized changing role of
FBOs in urban social issues and their variations by socio-institutional
context?





Informal enquiries should be sent by email to Dr. Beaumont
(j.r.beaumont@...).
