Summary:
This book is published as a result of the award of the Rotterdam Maaskant Prize for Young Architects - previously won by John Körmeling, Mecanoo, Wiel Arets, Willem Jan Neutelings, Liesbeth van der Pol, Adriaan Geuze and Christian Rapp - to four young urban designers: Bindels, Gietema, Hartzema en Klok. Alongside their activities at various offices like MVRDV, OMA and West 8, they take part in competitions and make design studies as an occasional quartet. This collaborative framework enables them to explore the boundaries of urban design, not by flirting with today's image culture, but by responding to changing conditions and contemporary building tasks. The four winners describe various schemes they have made for designing the Netherlands. Following the jury report the book divides into three sections, tracing the path taken by Dutch urban design since 1966 and the position the quartet of winners occupy in its evolution, documenting four projects and drawing on the opinions of key figures and clients from the world of spatial planning.

Summary:
In this book environmentalist and lawyer William Shutkin describes a new kind of environmental and social activism spreading across the nation, one that joins the pursuit of environmental quality with that of civic health and sustainable local economies. In the face of challenges posed by often corrosive market forces and widespread social disaffection, this civic environmentalism is creating nothing less than a new public discourse and dynamic social vision grounded in environmental action. Shutkin points the way to vibrant, sustainable communities through four inspiring examples of civic environmentalism in action: the redevelopment of contaminated urban land for agriculture in inner-city Boston, mass-transit-based development and waterfront restoration in Oakland, protection of open space and conservation-based development in rural Colorado, and smart-growth and sustainability strategies in suburban New Jersey. The book's underlying message is that the nation's environmental health is a critical factor in its success as a vital democracy. Social health, democratic community, and environmentalism, Shutkin shows, are one.

Summary:
Aménagement urbain et croissance économique se sont développés de concert pendant toute la période de forte urbanisation. La production d'un espace public de qualité a été un facteur de développement économique, alors que la croissance permettait de pérenniser les systèmes foncier et financier qui sont le socle de l'aménagement opérationnel. Un constat de ruptures s'impose aujourd'hui. Non seulement le souci de maîtrise des financements publics y oblige, mais le contexte économique, social et culturel nous contraint à imaginer de nouvelles logiques de production et de gestion des villes, et à créer leurs conditions de faisabilité. La construction des villes, hier prioritaire, est aujourd'hui relayée par d'autres enjeux : assurer plus de services, sans laisser s'imposer une logique marchande exclusive et dominatrice; permettre l'adaptation continue des espaces aménagés; rompre le cloisonnement fonctionnel des villes; répondre aux aspirations sociales des habitants. Croisant leurs regards, les trois auteurs tentent une analyse qui pose les jalons de ce que pourrait devenir l'aménagement urbain, si une attention plus forte était portée à ces nouveaux enjeux.
