Summary:
''Constructing Imperial Berlin'' is the first book to critically assess, contextualize, and frame urban and architectural photographs of the Imperial years in Berlin between 1871 and 1918. Berlin, as it was pronounced Germany's capital in 1871, was fraught with questions that had previously beset Paris and London. How was urban expansion and transformation to be absorbed? What was the city's understanding of its comparably short history? Given this short history, how did it embody the idea of a capital? A key theme of this book is the close interrelation of the city's rapid physical metamorphosis with repercussions on promotional and critical narratives, the emergence of groundbreaking photographic technologies, and novel forms of mass distribution.

Summary:
In ''Urbanism Without Effort,'' Chuck Wolfe argues that 'unplanned' places can often teach us more about great placemaking than planned ones. From impromptu movie nights in a Seattle alley to the adapted reuse of Diocletian's Palace in Split, Croatia, Wolfe searches for the 'first principles' of what makes humans feel happy and safe amid the hustle and bustle of urban(...)

Summary:
In ''Urbanism Without Effort,'' Chuck Wolfe argues that 'unplanned' places can often teach us more about great placemaking than planned ones. From impromptu movie nights in a Seattle alley to the adapted reuse of Diocletian's Palace in Split, Croatia, Wolfe searches for the 'first principles' of what makes humans feel happy and safe amid the hustle and bustle of urban life. He highlights the common elements of cities around the world that spontaneously bring people together: being inherently walkable, factors that contribute to safety at night, the importance of intersections and corners, and more. In this age of skyrocketing metropolitan growth, he argues, looking to the past might be our best approach to creating the urban future we dream about.

Summary:
New initiatives, ideas and products change the way we relate to one another and to our environment, as well as the way we define and fulfil our needs. They create opportunities for experimenting and learning, which can help our societies transition towards greater sustainability. But how can we implement transition in a useful way? This book examines the ways in which urban transition initiatives work, how they influence each other, and how they can make our cities thrive in a sustainable manner. Among others, it puts forward a view on the conditions that can aid accelerating change towards a sustainable low-carbon society, on possibilities for policy change, and on adaptive mechanisms that will improve decision making.

Summary:
L’ouvrage « Capital agricole : chantiers pour une ville cultivée » déterre les liens qualitatifs entre production agricole et production urbaine, entre le cultivé et l’habité. Architectes, urbanistes, agriculteurs, écologues, ingénieurs, entrepreneurs, historiens, géographes, sociologues..., réunis autour de l’agence d’architecture SOA, reviennent sur l’exceptionnel patrimoine agricole disparu au cours du XXe siècle, ainsi que sur les mutations sociales, économiques et territoriales qui ont profondément bouleversé l’organisation des rapports ville-nature-agriculture. À partir des formes ordinaires de l’agglomération parisienne – grands ensembles, lotissements, zones d’activités – cette étude invite à une revalorisation des sols par les activités agricoles des fermes existantes ou à créer, et à structurer un réseau de nouvelles centralités civiques à l’échelle métropolitaine.
