Summary:
Highlighting episodes from preindustrial England, New York City and Chicago between the 1850s and the early 1900s, Weimar-era Berlin, and neoliberal Milan, Álvaro Sevilla-Buitrago shows how capitalist urbanization has eroded the egalitarian, convivial life-worlds around the commons. The book combines detailed archival research with provocative critical theory to illuminate past and ongoing struggles over land, shared resources, public space, neighborhoods, creativity, and spatial imaginaries. This volume underscores the ways urbanization shapes the social fabric of places and territories, lending particular awareness to the impact of planning and design initiatives on working-class communities and popular strata. Projecting history into the future, it outlines an alternative vision for postcapitalist urban planning, in which the structure of collective spaces is ultimately defined by the people who inhabit them.

Summary:
This volume investigates the role of architecture, taking the Tracé Royal (the royal route) in Brussels as an example of an urban figure. The succession of emblematic streets, running from the Palace of Justice in the heart of the city to the Church of Our Lady and the Royal Domain in Laeken, is home to several of Belgium’s national political, legal, religious, financial, and cultural institutions. The book explores the strategies put in place over time by the various institutions to inscribe themselves durably on the country’s social order, revealing similar spatial responses and surprisingly common mutation processes. And it highlights the importance of architecture when it comes to inventing new relationships with institutional spaces in order to live together better in a time when social, political, and cultural reference points are being blurred.

Summary:
Le changement climatique est une réalité vécue maintenant quotidiennement au travers des événements météorologiques extrêmes qui se multiplient. Les villes sont en première ligne de ces bouleversements, à la fois responsables et victimes. Sont-elles condamnées ? Non. En prenant l'exemple de Paris, cet essai montre que les solutions existent et que les villes peuvent s'adapter pour se préparer à ce futur et devenir des métropoles écologiques et bioclimatiques. En 2050, Paris aura le climat de Marseille aujourd'hui. Il y a donc urgence à adapter Paris à ce nouveau climat, en s'inspirant de l'architecture traditionnelle méditerranéenne et en intégrant toutes les nouvelles approches bioclimatiques. C'est ce à quoi nous exhorte Franck Lirzin, s'appuyant sur les dernières découvertes scientifiques et innovations technologiques afin de montrer les voies de l'adaptation climatique de Paris, et de créer une véritable capitale écologique, une « écotopie ». Quelles décisions devons-nous prendre aujourd'hui pour nous assurer une qualité de vie acceptable demain ? Franck Lirzin est polytechnicien et ingénieur des mines, diplômé de l'EHESS. Haut fonctionnaire, il a été dirigeant d'une entreprise engagée dans la transformation de la ville.

L’auteur met à profit son expérience d’élu municipal et propose des pistes de solution pour freiner l’expansion des grandes villes à l’ère où le sentiment de communauté s’érode, où les villes doivent subvenir à un nombre croissant de besoins et où les changements climatiques nous forcent à repenser nos façons de faire.

Summary:
This publication explores the unwritten history of city-building in the Arctic over the last 100 years. Spanning northern regions of North America, through Greenland, Svalbard to Russia, this is the first book to provide a truly circumpolar account of historical and contemporary architecture and urbanism in the Arctic – and it shows how the Arctic city offers valuable lessons for the post-colonial study of architectural and urban planning history elsewhere. Examining architects' and planners' designs for Arctic urban futures, it considers the impact of 20th-century models of urban design and planning in Arctic cities, and reveals how contemporary architectural approaches continue to this day to essentialize 'extreme' climate conditions and disregard the agency of Arctic city-dwellers – a critical perspective that is vital to the formulation of future design and planning practices in the region.

This series of projects received considerable public attention and media and the study digs deeper, exploring new possibilities for dialogue regarding public space that exists between the triumvirate of architects, municipal officials, and the general public. The collected interviews focus mainly on exhibitions in major cities such as Bratislava in Slovakia or Prague and Brno in the Czech Republic, as well as blogs and presentations surrounding individual projects. Illustrating these projects as processes that can bring about significant progress in the field, this discussion divides its content between the texts of the featured architects and the details of the 60 projects in question. This edition is written in both English and Slovak.
