Summary:
In order to understand and improve cities today, personal observation remains as important as ever. While big data, digital mapping, and simulated cityscapes are valuable tools for understanding urban space, using them without on-the-ground, human impressions risks creating places that do not reflect authentic local context. "Seeing the Better City" brings our attention(...)

While big data, digital mapping, and simulated cityscapes are valuable tools for understanding urban space, using them without on-the-ground, human impressions risks creating places that do not reflect authentic local context. "Seeing the Better City" brings our attention back to the real world right in front of us, focusing it once more on the sights, sounds, and experiences of place in order to craft policies, plans, and regulations to shape better urban environments.

Pour beaucoup, l'affaire est entendue : d'ici peu, le véhicule autonome aura amélioré nos villes, facilité nos déplacements, réduit les accidents et les embouteillages, modéré notre impact sur l'environnement. Faut-il prendre ces affirmations pour argent comptant ? Les auteurs passent au crible ces certitudes après avoir rassemblé les études disponibles dans le monde(...)

Pour beaucoup, l'affaire est entendue : d'ici peu, le véhicule autonome aura amélioré nos villes, facilité nos déplacements, réduit les accidents et les embouteillages, modéré notre impact sur l'environnement. Faut-il prendre ces affirmations pour argent comptant ? Les auteurs passent au crible ces certitudes après avoir rassemblé les études disponibles dans le monde entier, débattu de leurs points d'accord et de désaccord. Ils livrent la première analyse d'envergure sur le véhicule autonome. Ils proposent un concept, TRUST, centré sur la confiance et fondé sur un postulat simple : un objet technique est toujours un objet social. Aucune technologie ne peut être appréciée sans en appréhender les enjeux sur la vie des citoyens. Alors, le véhicule autonome sera-t-il la révolution annoncée ? Fera-t-il progresser la ville dans le sens du bien-être collectif ou accentuera-t-il ses déséquilibres actuels ? Tout dépend de la façon dont nous piloterons son arrivée sur nos territoires.

Summary:
This second volume in the "Future Cities Laboratory Indicia" series focuses on the tools, methods and approaches needed for urban research. In short, following Marshall McLuhan’s famous provocation, the editors focus less on the message and more on the medium of research. This involves retreating from research contents—the topics, themes, questions, hypotheses, insights, ideas, concepts and thoughts—for the moment to consider the materials, methods, tools, techniques and approaches that support them. This change in perspective reveals a rich array of research approaches that include two- and three-dimensional mapping of vegetation, temperature and humidity, in conjunction with point cloud terrestrial and airborne laser-scanning technology; gathering data from sensors and geospatial data and the emergence of “solution spaces” and multi-dimensional complexity science; subject-oriented approaches to behavioral and cognitive decision making in city navigation.

À partir des résultats de la recherche-projet Fabrique ACTive du paysage (FACT) menée à L'Ile-Saint-Denis, les contours d'une nouvelle conception urbaine plus sensible se dessinent. Pendant 3 ans, FACT a révélé des lieux et paysages par des interventions urbaines artistiques. FACT a fait émerger le langage spatial du sensible, l'expérience sensorielle et émotionnelle des lieux, et l'expression de concepteurs et artistes.

Our cities are changing. Around the world, more and more money is being invested in buildings and land. Real estate is now a $217 trillion dollar industry, worth thirty-six times the value of all the gold ever mined.

Summary:
Our cities are changing. Around the world, more and more money is being invested in buildings and land. Real estate is now a $217 trillion dollar industry, worth thirty-six times the value of all the gold ever mined. It forms sixty percent of global assets, and one of the most powerful people in the world—the president of the United States—made his name as a landlord and developer. Samuel Stein shows that this explosive transformation of urban life and politics has been driven not only by the tastes of wealthy newcomers, but by the state-driven process of urban planning. Planning agencies provide a unique window into the ways the state uses and is used by capital, and the means by which urban renovations are translated into rising real estate values and rising rents. “Capital City” explains the role of planners in the real estate state, as well as the remarkable power of planning to reclaim urban life.

Summary:
More high-rise residential buildings have been built in the last two decades than at any other time before. Even in Europe, where historically a typical city’s most prominent vertical accents came from chimneys and church steeples, towering buildings are increasingly shaping the urban landscape. In Vertical Europe, Andrea Glauser looks at new architectural trends in London, Paris, and Vienna, as well as the promises, desires, and fears associated with them in the minds of these cities’ residents. Her book is the first full-length sociological examination of the recent skyward growth in urban Europe, bringing together debates on high-rise architecture from fields including urban planning, geography, and art history. She contextualizes this vertical construction as an area wrought with tensions between these European cities’ desire to keep pace with global competition while still retaining the specific architectural qualities that have defined them for centuries.

The emergent understanding of the building and the city as ecological systems immediately raises the question of their interaction. In which ways does a 'green building' contribute to the ecology of its surroundings?

In which ways does a 'green building' contribute to the ecology of its surroundings? And how can ecologically designed urban districts, with their green and blue networks, link up with the elements and technologies of building design? These are questions of concept, of planning, of design and not least of experience. All these dimensions of 'green building' are investigated in this book with essays and case studies, in a collaboration of a research team with architects, urbanists and landscape designers – in an effort to understand and evaluate some of the most recent and innovative Dense+Green Cities in Asia, the Americas and Europe.
