Summary:
La pensée de la ville est en panne. Les schémas cognitifs qui guident l’action publique sur les questions urbaines ont plus d’un demi-siècle. Principes un moment fondés, dans une situation contingente, ils se sont transformés en dogmes : le transport collectif décongestionne les villes, la mixité résidentielle et la proximité permettent de bien vivre ensemble, l’accession(...)

Principes un moment fondés, dans une situation contingente, ils se sont transformés en dogmes : le transport collectif décongestionne les villes, la mixité résidentielle et la proximité permettent de bien vivre ensemble, l’accession à la propriété, de loger tout le monde, la densification, de protéger l’agriculture et l’environnement, les réformes territoriales d'être plus d’efficaces, les constructeurs sont les mieux placés pour décider de nos cadres de vie. L'auteur démonte ces idées reçues et fait tomber les œillères qui nous empêchent d’appréhender la transition écologique, démographique et numérique en cours sur les territoires urbains.

Summary:
The pressure is on: people move to cities in ever-growing numbers. So we build new neighborhoods, we transform old industrial areas and renew the existing city. Right now, the focus lies on energy-neutral neighborhoods. But in order for these new neighborhoods to really work, residents need to be engaged and the tactics need to be embedded within a larger social policy.(...)

Summary:
The pressure is on: people move to cities in ever-growing numbers. So we build new neighborhoods, we transform old industrial areas and renew the existing city. Right now, the focus lies on energy-neutral neighborhoods. But in order for these new neighborhoods to really work, residents need to be engaged and the tactics need to be embedded within a larger social policy. Only then do thriving cities arise. ''Neighbourhoods for the future'' revisits the neighborhood as the designated scale and arena to build our urban futures. The neighborhood is small enough to be tangible, yet big enough to make an actual difference. Introducing the concepts of neighborhood arrangements and ecologies, this book provides a new perspective on the relation between participants, resources and rules to spark change and prepare urbanites and policymakers for realizing their own sustainable neighborhoods for the future.

Summary:
This book highlights the change-making capacity of culture by exploring the intellectual and practical interventions of "courageous citizens." These citizens can be thinkers, artists, activists and collectives—those whose thoughts, ideas and actions play a pivotal role in the struggle for just societies. It is these change-makers who, through their everyday actions, work toward a collective future and complex societal reconfigurations. Looking back at the past decade, this book identifies three themes which have been, and continue to be, relevant to social change: identity and diversity; culture, communities and democracies; and solidarity and fragmentation. It shows how courageous citizens have activated the cycles of thinking and rethinking, doing and changing, which have altered the way we view the world. Combining theoretical perspectives with case studies, this book aims to demonstrate the potential of culture to generate positive social change.

Des mouvements Occupy et Maidan sur les places historiques des villes du monde entier à l'occupation des ronds-points par les gilets jaunes en France, de l'accueil des migrants à Calais à la lutte contre l'habitat indigne à Marseille, une même aspiration démocratique a pour lieu l'espace public : faire entendre et faire voir des revendications de reconnaissance et d'égalité politiques, sociales, économiques. Mais cette démocratie en acte ne se vit pas uniquement sur le mode de l'insurrection : elle est une lutte quotidienne contre la confiscation de la ville par des intérêts privés, commerciaux et financiers, et contre sa stérilisation au nom de la sécurité. La démocratie est une pratique à l'oeuvre dans la fabrique de la ville, à toutes les échelles et jusque dans ses marges, lorsque les espaces s'arpentent et s'investissent de manière inattendue.
