Summary:
Long the most infamous street in America, in recent years Forty-second Street has been remade into a sanitized tourist haven. In the forced disapearance of peep shows and street hustlers to make room for a Disney store, a childreen's theater, and large, neon-lit cafés, Samuel R. Delany sees a disapearance, not only of the old Time Square, but of the complex social(...)

Times Square Red, Times Square Blue paints a portrait of a society dismantling the institutions that promote communication between classes and disguising its fears of cross-class contact as 'family values'.

Summary:
L’hypothèse est que l’histoire de l’habitat se situe dans un temps long, une longue durée anthropologique, et que les évolutions sont lentes. C’est pourquoi il est nécessaire de s’interroger sur la dimension vernaculaire de l’habitat et, aujourd’hui, sur les relations entre un contexte local et un monde global qui tend précisément à effacer les différences.

Summary:
L’hypothèse est que l’histoire de l’habitat se situe dans un temps long, une longue durée anthropologique, et que les évolutions sont lentes. C’est pourquoi il est nécessaire de s’interroger sur la dimension vernaculaire de l’habitat et, aujourd’hui, sur les relations entre un contexte local et un monde global qui tend précisément à effacer les différences. En Europe, depuis le début du XXe siècle, les caractéristiques des logements se sont établies et généralisées. Comment cette généralisation s’est-elle opérée? Les réponses apportées à cette question permettent de décrire une évolution dans laquelle le présent se situe. Cependant, avec le mode de vie urbain ou métropolitain qui s’est développé et tend à devenir dominant, des formes de l’habitat ont été conçues et réalisées, correspondant à de nouvelles exigences. Il s’agit d’analyser ces formes, en particulier du point de vue de l’idée de communauté qu’elles proposent, et du point de vue de ce que l’on considère être le confort contemporain.

Summary:
Cities are becoming increasingly fragmented materially, socially, and spatially. From broken toilets and everyday things, to art and forms of writing, fragments are signatures of urban worlds and provocations for change. In "Fragments of the city," Colin McFarlane examines such fragments, what they are and how they come to matter in the experience, politics, and(...)

Summary:
Cities are becoming increasingly fragmented materially, socially, and spatially. From broken toilets and everyday things, to art and forms of writing, fragments are signatures of urban worlds and provocations for change. In "Fragments of the city," Colin McFarlane examines such fragments, what they are and how they come to matter in the experience, politics, and expression of cities. How does the city appear when we look at it through its fragments? For those living on the economic margins, the city is often experienced as a set of fragments. Much of what low-income residents deal with on a daily basis is fragments of stuff, made and remade with and through urban density, social infrastructure, and political practice. In this book, McFarlane explores infrastructure in Mumbai, Kampala, and Cape Town; artistic montages in Los Angeles and Dakar; refugee struggles in Berlin; and the repurposing of fragments in Hong Kong and New York. Fragments surface as material things, as forms of knowledge, as writing strategies. They are used in efforts to politicize the city and in urban writing to capture life and change in the world's major cities. "Fragments of the city" surveys the role of fragments in how urban worlds are understood, revealed, written, and changed.

Cities can make us sick. They always have—diseases spread more easily when more people are close to one another. And disease is hardly the only ill that accompanies urban density.

Summary:
Cities can make us sick. They always have—diseases spread more easily when more people are close to one another. And disease is hardly the only ill that accompanies urban density. Cities have been demonized as breeding grounds for vice and crime from Sodom and Gomorrah on. But cities have flourished nonetheless because they are humanity’s greatest invention, indispensable engines for creativity, innovation, wealth, and connection, the loom on which the fabric of civilization is woven. But cities now stand at a crossroads. During the global COVID crisis, cities grew silent as people worked from home—if they could work at all. The normal forms of socializing ground to a halt. How permanent are these changes? Advances in digital technology mean that many people can opt out of city life as never before. Will they? Are we on the brink of a post-urban world? City life will survive but individual cities face terrible risks, argue Edward Glaeser and David Cutler, and a wave of urban failure would be absolutely disastrous. In terms of intimacy and inspiration, nothing can replace what cities offer. Great cities have always demanded great management, and our current crisis has exposed fearful gaps in our capacity for good governance. It is possible to drive a city into the ground, pandemic or not. Glaeser and Cutler examine the evolution that is already happening, and describe the possible futures that lie before us.
