Call for book chapter proposals

We would like to cordially invite abstract proposals for book chapters 
for a forthcoming book titled:

Rethinking Urban Transformations: a New Paradigm for Inclusive Cities

Editors: Nebojša Čamprag (TU Darmstadt), Lauren Ugur (Heilbronn 
University of Applied Sciences), Anshika Suri (TU Darmstadt)
Book publisher: Springer (www.springer.com), Springer Series “Diversity 
and Inclusion Research”
Publication is anticipated for spring 2023.

During the last decades, cities are increasingly being confronted with 
extensive and rapidly progressing socio-political, economic, 
environmental, and many other challenges that have required significant 
adaptations of urban systems. These transformative processes are also 
often characterized by uncontrolled trajectories that create numerous 
power-related and socio-spatial inequalities, highlighting the values of 
social inclusion and diversity being often compromised in urban 
development endeavors. This book plans to take a step further in 
understanding urban transformation processes through investigating the 
selected aspects of inclusion and diversity and their manifestation in 
wider urban spatial contexts. In order to address the complexity of the 
topic, this will be done through diverse research with trans- and 
interdisciplinary approaches. Chapters proposed may address (but are not 
limited to) one or more aspects or sub-aspects of the following topics:

- alternatives to growth as the emerging paradigm for sustainable urban 
transformation,
- transformation of cities through inclusive tourism development processes,
- diversification of urban identities through de-contestation of urban 
heritage, and
- inclusive socio-spatial perspective on intersectional city-making 
practices/policies.

Contributors that deal with these and related issues from a variety of 
perspectives are warmly welcomed. Chapters may take a range of forms, 
may be empirically based or conceptually, may focus on different levels 
of analysis, and may be based on quantitative and qualitative 
approaches. The final aim of the book is to inspire exchange between 
different aspects of transdisciplinary research, thus inspiring 
paradigms with holistic approach in (re)conceptualising and promoting 
inclusive and sustainable urban transformative processes in both urban 
theory and praxis.
