Blød by
Byer skal være for mennesker. Forestil dig en by, hvor du kan sove for åbne vinduer, og hvor det gangvenlige miljø starter lige uden for din fordør. Den bløde by handler om tilgængelighed, bekvemmelighed og enkelhed. En by, der tilpasser sig vores foranderlige behov og nærer vores relationer, og hvor befolkningstæthed har et menneskeligt ansigt. Vi lever i en virkelighed, der dræner vores ressourcer, fællesskabsfølelse og miljø, mener David Sim. Han viser os, hvordan det er muligt at forene befolkningstæthed med fællesskab og menneskelighed. Hvordan vi kan organisere os og leve tæt sammen i byrum, der forbinder os, selvom vores komplekse verden vokser og forandrer sig – og hvordan et tæt, mangfoldigt samfund kan øge vores livskvalitet. Bogen kommer med idéer, vejledning og inspiration til alle, der interesserer sig for byplanlægning. David Sim lærer os, hvordan vi gør vores byer mere effektive, bæredygtige, trygge og levende.

Wearing the Cheongsam
Associations between the cheongsam dress and Chinese cultural identity are well known but what are the meanings of the cheongsam for members of the Chinese diaspora? In a study grounded in first-hand accounts of wearing, Cheryl Sim explores the practices and experiences of women in Canada, a major Chinese diaspora, and carries out the first in-depth study of the cheongsam from this critical point of view. Questions explored over the course of 20 interviews, as well as during personal reflections on the author's own experiences of wearing, include: is there a desire to re-claim or appropriate the cheongsam? Does this desire risk perpetuating stereotypes of Asian women? Does it undermine one’s identification with one's host country? Can erased heritage(s) be accessed through dress? And how does wearing the cheongsam interact with the male gaze? Revealing feelings of repulsion and attraction, Sim combines personal stories with an authoritative use of theoretical frameworks such as
