In the late 1990s, three monuments -- Crab Park "Boulder," "Marker of Change," and Standing "with Courage, Strength and Pride" -- were built in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.

Summary:
In the late 1990s, three monuments -- Crab Park "Boulder," "Marker of Change," and Standing "with Courage, Strength and Pride" -- were built in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Located within a few city blocks of one another, the monuments were grassroots initiatives that challenged the norms of civic art by claiming a place in public space for society's more vulnerable groups, and each figured in debates about many kinds of violence. "Speaking for a Long Time" offers unique insights into the creation of memorials and the multiple, often contested meanings that can be attached to them in local communities. Part 1, "Act," explores the monuments' origin stories and highlights the distinctive perspectives of their founders. Part 2, "Frame," places these narratives in the context of modern debates and theories on public space and social memory. Part 3, "Forge," returns to the Downtown Eastside to show how the resilience and agency of grassroots activists can give the socially marginalized a visible presence in our urban landscapes. This vivid account of the creation of memory-scapes in a marginalized community asks us to reconsider what constitutes public art that will "speak for a long time."

Summary:

Le « RÉSO », entièrement accessible au public, comprend des stations de métro et des gares, des halls d’immeubles, de bureaux et d’habitation, des galeries marchandes, des pavillons universitaires et bien d’autres structures. Toronto a connu avec le « PATH » une évolution similaire, et les deux métropoles ont acquis pour ces aménagements une renommée internationale. Résultat de plusieurs années de recherche, ce livre décrit deux expériences d’urbanisme tridimensionnel. Il retrace leur historique et aborde les grandes questions qui se sont posées au fil des années. Quelles sont les conditions favorables à l’extension d’une ville intérieure? Quels en sont les obstacles? Quels sont les rôles respectifs des autorités publiques et des entreprises privées? Dans quelle mesure les usagers et les citoyens en général ont-ils leur mot à dire dans ce genre de développement urbain? Le développement de la ville intérieure est-il terminé ou faut-il s’attendre à un nouvel essor?
