Summary:
Montpellier est passée du statut de capitale régionale à celui de technopole jusqu'à s'afficher peu à peu métropole. Concernant les questions d'urbanisme et d'aménagement, cette ville singulière constitue ainsi un riche terrain d'étude pour les chercheurs qui, ici, s'attachent à analyser stratégies et projets urbains. Intégrant le regard de trois disciplines - architecture, géographie, science politique - ils appréhendent des dimensions complémentaires qui permettent de mieux lire la ville : ses formes urbaines, l'aménagement de ses espaces et ses modes de gouvernance. De Polygone à Odysseum en passant par Montpellier-Grand-Coeur, le tramway, les opérations de résidentialisation, les politiques culturelles ou le Schéma de cohérence territoriale, l'ouvrage s'articule autour des grands projets et dévoile les problématiques d'un territoire en mouvement, au coeur de la question métropolitaine, partant d'un " territoire projeté " pour affirmer un " style de ville ". Ce livre est le cinquième d'une série d'ouvrages spécifiques à chacune des villes ayant participé au programme Popsu (Plate-forme d'observation des projets et stratégies urbaines).

Summary:
Following a detailed history, Christopher M. Davidson presents an in-depth study of Dubai's post-oil development strategies and their implementation during a period of near-complete political stability. Davidson addresses the probability of future problems as the need for sustained foreign direct investment encourages far-reaching socioeconomic reforms, many of which may affect the ideological, religious, and cultural legitimacy of the traditional monarchy. He also analyzes Dubai's awkward relationship with its federal partners in the United Arab Emirates and highlights some of the pitfalls of being the region's most successful free port-its attractiveness to international criminal fraternities, the economy of the global black market, and terrorist networks.

Summary:
This book is an account of the highly productive decade of architectural experimentation in Croatia lodged between the violent break-up of Yugoslavia and their slow integration into the EU. Ivan Rupnik guides the reader through the emergence of this bizarre and fascinating architectural scene on the very edge of united Europe, utilizing Ljubo Karaman's theory of the periphery as a distinct space of artistic production from that of the center or province, Manfredo Tafuri's concept of architectural experimentation, as well contemporary notions of agency. The account is framed using a variety of different lenses, including the observations of this moment by renowned writers, through the atmosphere of the period as defined by Croatia's complex post-socialist/postwar identity and the subsequent positioning of the architectural profession vis-a-vis that context, the practices that emerged , and through a series of discussions with some of the peripheral moment's primary agent provocateurs: 3LHD, njiric +, Randic - Turato, and STUDIO UP.
