Sur fond de mondialisation et à rebours des idées reçues, le lecteur est initié aux concepts de patrimoine territorial et d'autodéveloppement local durable, il découvre l'épaisseur sémantique de l'aménagement du territoire à travers ses dimensions politique, anthropologique, écologique... en même temps qu'une vision concrète de l'utopie. A l'heure où la question locale et le développement durable sont enfin à l'ordre du jour en France, c'est dire le précieux outil de réflexion et de travail offert aux élus, aux praticiens et aux citoyens par cet ouvrage qui associe étroitement la théorie et l'expérience concrète.

Summary:
Europan 2003 is a call for ideas to revitalize suburban life in Europe. With 68 sites across the continent to choose from, the design theme this time round is 'Suburban challenge, urban intensity and housing diversity'. Transforming the post-war growth areas into enduring urban districts with a diversity of house types and up-to-date amenities is an issue of great relevance in Europe today. Over 280 projects were submitted for the Dutch sites by young architects from the Netherlands and beyond. The winning designs will be announced at the end of January 2004 during a special event at the Netherlands Architecture Institute when an exhibition of all the submitted plans will be opened. The book "Europan 7: Suburban challenge, urban intensity and housing diversity" gives an overview of the prizewinners, exhaustively documenting their design proposals with model photographs, plans and conceptual sketches. Interviews with the designers shed further light on the projects. The project section of the book also includes an essay on the central theme of urban intensity, a description of the four Dutch sites and an analysis of the entries from a European perspective.

La notion de ville est une nébuleuse dans laquelle on se perd avec plus ou moins de bonheur et il n'est plus certain que l'on puisse continuer à penser la ville contemporaine en termes propres à notre culture européenne des 19e et 20e siècles. Tel un tissu vivant, les espaces qui la composent sont remodelés, transformés pour s'adapter aux nouvelles formes de mobilité et au processus de modification fonctionnelle d'une entité toujours croissante, constamment densifiée mais toujours vibrante. La ville est aussi lieu d'échange à la fois constructif et destructeur, lieu de forte densité et de grande béance, lieu d'attirance et de répulsion. Et c'est paradoxalement dans l'interstice de ces dialectiques qu'elle peut trouver son avenir. Comment la pensée architecturale peut-elle y contribuer ? En quoi l'architecture des villes peut-elle construire la ville et participer à la planification urbaine ?

Summary:
This publication is based on a thesis that studies global mobility and territories in dispersion. Based in Rotterdam, Diego Barajas concentrates his research on the urban dispersals shaped by migration, looking first at the Cape Verdean Diaspora and its territorial structure, and then focused on the case of the 'belhuis' - 'call-house'. By 'territories in dispersion', Barajas refers to social habitats that are no longer physically contained in geographically continuous areas, but have been spread out and re-articulated by artificial means. The de-territorialized condition created by increased mobility - particularly by migration - had led to an urbanism of artificial re-territorializaton. This is a functional urbanism - as based on mental constructions but tangible - that is manifested in the city as fragments, micro environments of global circuits, each of which establishes its own identity, time, rules and aesthetics - its own atmospheres. These fragments are globally connected and articulated by abstract infrastructures like telecommunication systems, as much as by physical places - ethnic shops, religious centers, et cetera - and by the imaginary and idealized realms through which dispersed societies operate. This is an urbanism ruled by traditional values, by intuitive and emotional forces, as much by efficiency and functionality. This research argues that as patterns of dispersion intensify, they generate not just fragmented societies, but a new territorial cohesion - a realm in which 'the collective' has gained a new dimension. Cultural identity is no longer necessarily linked to geographical place, or to traditional territorial structures like the nation-state, but has become a particular concept attached to individual imaginations though subjected to and conditioned by the contradictory pressures of self-determination and commoditization. This research is an attempt to trace the patterns of urban dispersals shaped by migration to the city of Rotterdam. A city whose harbour has made it one of the most concentrated points of settlement for Cape Verdean emigrants.

Summary:
What have smart technologies taught us about cities? What lessons can we learn from today’s urbanites to make better places to live? Antoine Picon and Carlo Ratti argue that the answers are in the maps we make. For centuries, we have relied on maps to navigate the enormity of the city. Now, as the physical world combines with the digital world, we need a new generation of maps to navigate the city of tomorrow. Pervasive sensors allow anyone to visualize cities in entirely new ways—ebbs and flows of pollution, traffic, and internet connectivity. This book explores how the growth of digital mapping, spurred by sensing technologies, is affecting cities and daily lives. It examines how new cartographic possibilities aid urban planners, technicians, politicians, and administrators; how digitally mapped cities could reveal ways to make cities smarter and more efficient; how monitoring urbanites has political and social repercussions; and how the proliferation of open-source maps and collaborative platforms can aid activists and vulnerable populations. With its beautiful, accessible presentation of cutting-edge research, this book makes it easy for readers to understand the stakes of the new information age—and appreciate the timeless power of the city.
