Beschreibung
<p>This book highlights the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cities. The COVID-19 pandemic and the associated economic and social impacts have been felt around the world. In large cities and other urban areas, the pandemic has highlighted a number of issues from pressures on urban labour and housing markets, shifts in demographic processes including migration and mobility, changes in urban travel patterns and pressures on contemporary planning and governance processes.</p><p>Despite Australias relatively mild COVID exposure, Australian cities and large urban areas have not been immune to these issues. The economic shutdown of the country in the early stages of the pandemic, the sporadic border closures between states, the effective closure of international borders and the imposition of widespread public health orders that have required significant behavioural change across the population have all changed our cities in some and the way we live and work in them in some way. Some ofthe challenges have reflected long-standing problems including intrenched inequality in labour markets and housing markets, others such as the impact on commuting patterns and patterns of migration have emerged largely during the pandemic. </p><p>This book, co-authored by experts in their field, outlines some of the major issues facing Australian cities and urban areas as a result of the pandemic and sets a course for future of the cities we live in.</p><p></p><p></p>

Informationen zu E-Books

„E-Book“ steht für digitales Buch. Um diese Art von Büchern lesen zu können, wird entweder eine spezielle Software für Computer, Tablets und Smartphones oder ein E-Book Reader benötigt. Da es verschiedene (Datei-)Formate für E-Books gibt, gilt es dabei einiges zu beachten.

Von uns werden digitale Bücher hauptsächlich in zwei Formaten ausgeliefert: EPUB und PDF. Je nach Verlag und Titel kann zu dem Format eine Form vom Kopierschutz (DRM=Digital Rights Management) gehören. Sie können Format und Form des DRM der Detailansicht des Titels entnehmen. 

- Bei E-Books ohne DRM (DRM: Nicht vorhanden) müssen Sie lediglich sicherstellen, dass Ihr E-Book Reader, Software oder App das Format (EPUB oder PDF) öffnen kann.
- Der Kopierschutz per Digitalem Wasserzeichen (DRM: Digitales Wasserzeichen) speichert Daten zum Download des Buches direkt in der Datei, die ggf. gerichtlich ausgelesen werden können. Genau wie E-Books ohne DRM können diese Titel ohne Beschränkung kopiert und auf verschiedenen Geräten gespeichert werden, sind allerdings rückverfolgbar.
- Wenn ein Format mit "hartem" Kopierschutz gekoppelt ist (DRM: Adobe DRM), besteht zusätzlich die Notwendigkeit, dass Sie einen kostenlosen Adobe® Account besitzen (genannt Adobe® ID). Nach dem Kauf eines solchen Titels erhalten Sie per Download zunächst eine Übertragungsdatei (URLlink.acsm). Stellen Sie sicher, dass in Ihrer Software (z.B. Adobe® Digital Editions), Ihrer App oder in ihrem Reader die zuvor erwähnte Adobe ID (Ihre E-Mail-Adresse und Ihr Passwort) hinterlegt sind.
Beim ersten Öffnen der Übertragungsdatei im E-Book-Programm oder auf dem Reader wird das Buch untrennbar mit der Adobe ID verknüpft, mit der die Software / das Gerät angemeldet ist.
!! Sollte zu diesem Zeitpunkt keine ID angelegt sein, kann das E-Book nur auf diesem Gerät (Reader oder Computer) gelesen werden und nirgendwo sonst !!
Achten Sie bei der Übertragung von E-Books darauf, dass die selbe Adobe® ID benutzt wird, wie zum ersten Öffnen.

Da E-Books nur für eine begrenzte Zeit – in der Regel 6 Monate – herunterladbar sind, sollten Sie stets eine Sicherheitskopie auf einem Dauerspeicher (Festplatte, USB-Stick oder CD) vorsehen. Auch ist die Menge der Downloads häufig auf maximal 5 begrenzt.
Die Rückgabe von digitalen Inhalten ist technisch bedingt nicht möglich.
