Summary:
This volume investigates impact of these vast industrial estates on landscape and society from various perspectives. It reveals the architectural and spatial, legal, economic, social, and environmental ramifications of the logistics system in this region and elsewhere. It examines the ensembles of windowless steel boxes on three scales: as an architectonic-landscape entity the size of a small town, as a network that reshapes the map of Europe so to define its own territoriality, and as part of the everyday life of the workers inside and the residents around them.

Summary:
Deeply divided, with ethnic French dominating the south and a large, vibrant North African community in the north, the city of Marseille typifies the tensions stemming from problematic governance, a constant influx of migrants, the widespread privatisation of services, and rapid, profit-driven, and destructive post-industrial urbanisation. Examining this complex city through a series of case studies of its built environment, this book tells of an urban reality where migration is especially prevalent. Essays, photographs, and drawings illustrate the impact of migration on space, architecture, and territory. But it also offers strategies for development that can support social and spatial integration.

Summary:
Cities have always been places where commerce and production, working and living, are physically and functionally integrated. Only with the rise of industry have zoning regulations been introduced to separate these functions. But what role do these regulations play when industry is digitized, increasingly emission-free and shifting away from mass production What will the ideal mix of working and living be in the future In a world characterized by digital disruption, migration and demographic shifts, how do we build cities based on social equity and resilience. Based on interdisciplinary urban design research undertaken at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design, the Zurich-based architecture studio Hosoya Schaefer presents ''The industrious city: urban industry in the digital age''. Investigating how production can be reintroduced into the urban fabric, this book explores how production, services, leisure and living might come together in a future integrated city.

Summary:
Les mobilités transforment la vie urbaine et la production de l'espace et de l'architecture. Dans la société des échanges, les hubs sont les réceptacles premiers de ces transformations en cours. Ils préfigurent les évolutions globales de la ville des déplacements durables, à l'heure de la communication numérique embarquée et des flux intelligents. « Le Projet Hub» ne décrit pas à nouveau l'urbanisme des transports ou la complexité des réseaux, mais aborde la question qui s'impose: comment plus de trente modes de mobilités potentiels peuvent-ils coexister et se relier en un même lieu, à l'image des données qui s'échangent dans l'espace virtuel et ubiquitaire de nos smartphones? Les gares de la mégalopole nippone, de par leur histoire et leur surdéveloppement, ont représenté au 20e siècle l'avenir de telles infrastructures. Elles en incarnent désormais le passé. Bientôt bouleversées par la diversité des nouvelles mobilités écologiques, elles se révèlent être le terrain privilégié pour projeter la transformation du hub des mobilités du futur proche, qui n'existe pas encore et que nous devons faire apparaître.

Summary:
Parce qu’il s’est immiscé dans les moindres recoins des sociétés contemporaines, le capitalisme a bouleversé le visage des villes telles que nous les connaissons. La concentration de la population mondiale dans des agglomérations désormais gérées comme des entreprises fait de la construction de l’espace urbain un observatoire privilégié tant des logiques managériales et financières que de la production des inégalités sociales et spatiales. De l’adaptation au changement climatique à la Smart City en passant par le zonage logistique et l’économie de plateformes, cette encyclopédie critique propose une cartographie inédite de la ville contemporaine, qui invite concevoir l’espace comme un rapport social et donc comme un lieu de lutte. Présentant de riches enquêtes empiriques menées aux quatre coins du globe, ses entrées exposent de manière thématique les principaux enjeux auxquels sont confrontées des populations marginalisées à la fois d’un point de vue matériel et dans les processus de décisions qui affectent leur vie quotidienne. La démarche suivie, qui associe à ce réquisitoire implacable l’esquisse systématique de voies alternatives, argumente de manière actuelle et accessible en faveur de la défense renouvelée d’un « droit à la ville ».

Summary:
From the grandiose histories of monumental state building projects to the minutiae of street signs and corner cafés, from the rebuilding of capital cities to the provision of the humble public toilet, "Clean living under difficult circumstances" argues for the city as a socialist project. This essay collection spans a period from immediately before the 2008 financial crash to the year of the pandemic. Against the business-as-usual responses to both crises, Owen Hatherley outlines a vision of the city as both a venue for political debate and dispute as well as a space of everyday experience, one that we shape as much as it shapes us. Incorporated here are the genres of memoir, history, music and film criticism, as well as portraits of figures who have inspired new ways of looking at cities, such as the architect Zaha Hadid, the activist and urbanist Jane Jacobs, and thinkers such as Mark Fisher and Adam Curtis. Throughout these pieces, Hatherley argues that the only way out of our difficult circumstances is to imagine and try to construct a better modernity.

Summary:
Pour permettre à toutes et tous de contribuer, échanger, débattre et imaginer ensemble << l'après >>, le Pavillon de l'Arsenal a ouvert pendant le confinement, à partir du 16 avril 2020, le forum << Et demain, on fait quoi? >>. Pendant trois mois cet espace virtuel de partage, initié dans le cadre du programme << Architectures à la maison >> a permis de collecter et diffuser articles, tribunes, dessins, projets... Rassemblées dans cet ouvrage, les 198 contributions témoignent, dans un contexte particulier, des préoccupations et aspirations de chacune et chacun pour transformer et adapter la ville de ses architectures. L'ensemble forme un corpus de réflexions stimulantes, parfois dissonantes, témoin en cela de nos interrogations urbaines contemporaines. Classées chronologiquement, sans filtre, telles qu'elles sont parvenues, elles révèlent des questionnements déjà existants ou font surgir des problématiques inédites. Les enjeux premiers de solidarité et de défi climatique se conjugent avec les questions de proximité, d'autour de soi, d'espaces et de temps: logement et évolutivité, métropole et gouvernance, bureau et réversibilité, commun et ruralité, grenier et cimetière, carbone et matérialité, vitesse et mobilité, distances aux autres et au monde... Alors que les modes de vies urbains, les conditions de fabrication de la ville, tous comme leurs usage et les façons d'habiter sont pour certains brutalement obsolètes, architectes, artistes, designers, étudiants, ingénieurs, paysagistes, promoteurs, professionnels de l'immobilier, urbanistes et usagers inventent d'autres manières de faire la ville.

Summary:
This book serves as a critical review of Social Urbanism, defined as a socio-political and practical approach to urban globalisation, deriving from a planning strategy and portfolio of built projects that seek to alleviate the social consequences of urbanisation. It emphasises both the political processes and the urbanism projects that simultaneously consider socio-economic and ecological components of space, and which highlight a greater focus on social sustainability. In a context in which geography defines space and culture, and through challenges of a global magnitude, we are inextricably united in an era of environmental uncertainty, where shared experiences and values place us within a collective culture, inspiring mutual agency in service of this vision for Social Urbanism.
