Summary:
In the 19th century railroads and canals provided both structure and motor for city development. This role has been taken over today by the global flow of data and products, as the author argues. The author describes the current development and its impact on architecture, landscape architecture and urbanism. Flow of material and communication is the DNA of contemporary(...)

Summary:
In the 19th century railroads and canals provided both structure and motor for city development. This role has been taken over today by the global flow of data and products, as the author argues. The author describes the current development and its impact on architecture, landscape architecture and urbanism. Flow of material and communication is the DNA of contemporary environments. This development has enormous and partially unfathomable implications for our city fabric. Logistics networks and their complex structure increasingly bear upon many urban spheres. Counter trends to the ubiquitous internet retail trade – to name one of the most palpable phenomena – are gaining momentum as well, exemplified by the criticism of labor conditions in e-commerce and the trend to buy regional products from local stores.

Summary:
"The New Urban Question" is an exuberant and illuminating adventure through our current global urban condition, tracing the connections between radical urban theory and political activism. From Haussmann's attempts to use urban planning to rid 19th-century Paris of workers revolution to the contemporary metropolis, including urban disaster-zones such as downtown Detroit, Merrifield reveals how the urban experience has been profoundly shaped by class antagonism and been the battle-ground for conspiracies, revolts and social eruptions. Going beyond the work of earlier urban theorists such as Manuel Castells, Merrifield identifies the new urban question that has emerged and demands urgent attention, as the city becomes a site of active plunder by capital and the setting for new forms of urban struggle, from Occupy to the Indignados.

Infrastructural Monument presents the proceedings of the first of two conferences organized by MIT's new Center for Advanced Urbanism around the biennial theme of infrastructure. Held in the spring of 2013, the "Infrastructural Monument" conference gathered designers, developers, policy experts, and scholars to address the potential to leverage infrastructure design beyond the realm of transportation of goods and labor into the realm of culture, public space, architecture, and landscape form. In other words, can infrastructure transcend mere practicality and fulfill a role that is profoundly cultural? Can targeted infrastructure projects transform a city from a collection of fragments to one with a common and cohesive regional identity?

Summary:
Comment réenchanter la ville ? Comment réaliser une symbiose entre écosystèmes humains et naturels ? Dans un contexte marqué par une emprise toujours plus massive et destructrice de l’élément urbain sur l’environnement, il est nécessaire de repenser la cité. Cet ouvrage propose de trouver des solutions fondées sur l’esprit de la permaculture. En identifiant les caractéristiques séduisantes du pavillon de banlieue, typologie architecturale plébiscitée, mais cause majeure de l’étalement urbain, il façonne une réflexion menant à un modèle cohérent. Par la manipulation ludique d’une maquette virtuelle, s’appuyant étape par étape sur des références solides qui reflètent la complexité urbaine, il développe une nouvelle façon de construire et reconstruire la ville sur elle-même. La Permacité, modèle souple et évolutif fondé sur l'utilisation de mégastructures, ne met à l’écart ni les questions techniques, ni celles, cruciales, de la gestion citoyenne et sociale de l’espace urbain.
