Summary:
With a new update introduction, this is a comprehensive guidebook for architects, planners, urban designers, and developers that illustrates how existing suburbs can be redesigned and redeveloped.

Depuis un quart de siècle, le discours sur la ville se focalise majoritairement sur les grands ensembles de logements sociaux situés à la périphérie des villes. Ce type d'habitat, longtemps convoité par les classes moyennes, incarne aujourd'hui tout à la fois la misère et la relégation, la violence et la ségrégation, l'insécurité et le ghetto, l'échec urbanistique et la(...)

Cet ouvrage montre qu'il n'existe pois une banlieue unique, mais plutôt des territoires périurbains qui agglomèrent une grande diversité de lieux, d'activités et de populations. Il analyse les processus de fragmentation sociale et spatiale, ainsi que la spirale de l'exclusion caractéristique des banlieues sensibles.

Summary:
What are the suburbs? The popular vision of monotonous streets curving into culs-de-sac and emerald lawns unfurling from nearly identical houses would have us believe that suburbia is a boring, homogeneous, and alienating place. But this stereotypical portrayal of the suburbs tells us very little about the lives of the people who actually live there. Making Suburbia (...)

By the end of the twentieth century, America's suburbs contained more office space than its central cities. Many of these corporate workplaces were surrounded, somewhat incongruously, by verdant vistas of broad lawns and leafy trees.

Summary:
By the end of the twentieth century, America's suburbs contained more office space than its central cities. Many of these corporate workplaces were surrounded, somewhat incongruously, by verdant vistas of broad lawns and leafy trees. In Pastoral Capitalism, Louise Mozingo describes the evolution of these central (but often ignored) features of postwar urbanism in the context of the modern capitalist enterprise. These new suburban corporate landscapes emerged from a historical moment when corporations reconceived their management structures, the city decentralized and dispersed into low-density, auto-dependent peripheries, and the pastoral--in the form of leafy residential suburbs--triumphed as an American ideal.
