La montée des « interdépendances » à large échelle, ce qu’on appelle communément la mondialisation, bouleverse en profondeur les repères de nos actions et de nos projets.

Summary:
La montée des « interdépendances » à large échelle, ce qu’on appelle communément la mondialisation, bouleverse en profondeur les repères de nos actions et de nos projets. Lorsque les liens à grande distance et le temps court des événements mondiaux sont aussi structurants que les liens de proximité et le temps long des enracinements locaux, que deviennent les « lieux», les territoires, les espaces de nos institutions politiques et de nos appartenances naturelles ? Y a-t-il encore une place pour un développement à base locale qui ne soit pas seulement identitaire, défensif, passéiste ? Que devient l’équité, dans un monde où les pôles riches et puissants n’ont plus besoin de leurs périphéries appauvries et débranchées, où les « gagnants», ultramobiles, transgressent les frontières et les règles, quand les « perdants» sont de plus en plus confinés dans l’immobilité ?

Summary:
Existing patterns of urbanization are unsustainable in the long run. Current development practices consume enormous amounts of land and resources, damage local ecosystems, produce pollutants, create huge inequalities between groups of people, and undermine local community and quality of life. Unfortunately planning has itself led to many unsustainable development practices. "Planning for Sustainability" presents a straightforward, systematic analysis of how more sustainable cities and towns can be brought about. It does so in a highly readable manner that considers in turn each scale of planning: international, national, regional, municipal, neighbourhood, site, and building. In the process it illustrates how sustainability initiatives at these different scales interrelate and how an overall framework can be developed for more liveable communities.

Consumption stands at the intersection of different spheres of everyday life : between the public and the private, the political and the personal, the individual and the social. It is considered to be a means and motor of social change; as an active ingredient in the construction of space and place, and in constructing subjectivity and social selfhood. Providing a(...)

Consumption stands at the intersection of different spheres of everyday life : between the public and the private, the political and the personal, the individual and the social. It is considered to be a means and motor of social change; as an active ingredient in the construction of space and place, and in constructing subjectivity and social selfhood. Providing a critical review of the ways in which urban development has been conceptualized, "Cities and Consumption" critiques urban regeneration initiatives, examines ordinary and spectacular consumption and describes the relationship between consumption and development of the modern and post-modern city. Consumption is understood to have multiple roles as a political, economic and cultural touchstone, and to be an active ingredient in the construction of place and space.

Il ne faut pas s’en plaindre : l’iconographie est un puissant moyen d’expression et l’éventail de plus en plus large de ses outils de représentation constitue une aubaine pour tous ceux qui veulent donner à voir, préfigurer ou simplement penser ensemble un territoire. Toutefois, à y regarder de près, on acquiert vite le sentiment que le recours à la figure relève majoritairement de démarches empiriques et intuitives. Aussi cet ouvrage propose-t-il un panorama des analyses existantes sur le rôle des images – en particulier dans les démarches prospectives. Il nous présente les méthodes utilisées et une collection des expériences de cartographie participative qui ont cours aujourd’hui en Europe, aux États-Unis et en Afrique.
