Summary:
Une critique de la métropolisation des villes qui pousse les individus à la mobilité : caravanes, hôtels low cost, camions, tentes deviennent des lieux de vie. C'est là que se rencontrent ceux que ce processus engagé depuis le milieu du XIXe siècle expulse et ceux qui le fuient. Car subie ou non, cette urbanité mobile et provisoire s'impose dans les sociétés contemporaines.

Summary:
'SynergiCity: Reinventing the Postindustrial City' proposes a new and invigorating vision of urbanism, architectural design, and urban revitalization in twenty-first-century America. Culling transformative ideas from the realms of historic preservation, sustainability, ecological urbanism, and the innovation economy, Paul Hardin Kapp and Paul J. Armstrong present a holistic vision for restoring industrial cities suffering from population decline back into stimulating and productive places to live and work. With a particular emphasis on the Rust Belt of the American Midwest, SynergiCity argues that cities such as Detroit, St. Louis, and Peoria must redefine themselves to be globally competitive. This revitalization is possible through environmentally and economically sustainable restoration of industrial areas and warehouse districts for commercial, research, light industrial, and residential uses.

On voit poindre, dans les propos de Tristan Benhaïm et d’Alain Maugard, une nouvelle étape de la démocratie, faite de plus d’implication personnelle, de maîtrise d’une économie redevenue plus proche et de projet partagé pour un avenir commun.

Leur approche se veut résolument optimiste, après un diagnostic sans concession sur la situation actuelle. C’est de l’urbanité qu’ils nous parlent, donnant une nouvelle jeunesse aux propos d’Henri Lefebvre sur ses composantes?: centralité, diversité, connectivité. Ces trois paramètres sont plus que jamais au rendez-vous pour faire de la ville, avec d’autres valeurs nées des révolutions en cours – comme le dialogue avec la nature, la fertilité de l’altérité, la vertu de l’économie d’usage – un lieu créateur de civilisation, de progrès par l’innovation et d’invention de nouvelles formes de bien-vivre.

Le sujet est plus que jamais d'actualité puisque la population urbaine devrait doubler d'ici 2050. Dans un style plaisant, clair et imagé, l'auteure analyse cette question à la fois éthique et écologique, donne des pistes pour repenser nos villes et leur arrière-pays, mieux les concevoir, afin d'y vivre en harmonie. Il s'agit de la traduction du titre « Hungry City ».

Summary:
Portland, Oregon, is one of the most beautiful, livable cities in the United States. It has walkable neighborhoods, bike lanes, low-density housing, public transportation, and significant green space—not to mention craft-beer bars and locavore food trucks. But liberal Portland is also the whitest city in the country. This is not circumstance; the city has a long history of officially sanctioned racialized displacement that continues today. Over the last two and half decades, Albina—the one major Black neighborhood in Portland—has been systematically uprooted by market-driven gentrification and city-renewal policies. African Americans in Portland were first pushed into Albina and then contained there through exclusionary zoning, predatory lending, and racist real estate practices. Since the 1990s, they’ve been aggressively displaced—by rising housing costs, developers eager to get rid of low-income residents, and overt city policies of gentrification.

The spatial assignment of the future European city will be fundamentally different. Building new space outside the city boundaries is no longer necessary. Instead, what exists should be made sustainable. The new spatial assignment involves maintaining, restructuring, densifying or diluting the existing city. This publication analyses this development and describes a toolbox that is able to turn the new assignment into a success.
