Summary:
Longtemps, les villes ont été dépendantes de leur environnement. C'est désormais l'environnement qui est dépendant des villes. Et si, loin d'être un problème, la ville était dorénavant une solution aux défis environnementaux ? Convergences et divergences des positions et des points de vue autorisent un portrait contrasté des modes de vie urbains contemporains. Quelles(...)

Et si, loin d'être un problème, la ville était dorénavant une solution aux défis environnementaux ? Convergences et divergences des positions et des points de vue autorisent un portrait contrasté des modes de vie urbains contemporains. Quelles sont les tendances à l'oeuvre ? À quoi se disent prêts les habitants ? A qui font-ils confiance ? Interrogés dans sept grandes agglomérations urbaines aux quatre coins de la planète (Bombay, Chicago, Le Caire, Londres, Paris, Pékin, Sao Paulo) par l'Observatoire Veolia des modes de vie urbains, les citadins font part de leurs situations, aspirations, évaluations en ce qui concerne leur vie en ville. En complément et en miroir de ces opinions, des experts du monde entier apportent leurs observations, illustrations et préconisations sur la ville d'aujourd'hui et de demain.

Summary:
Les dépenses liées au logement représentent près du cinquième du budget des ménages. Le manque de logements est un thème récurrent, souvent douloureux, du débat public. Aussi, l'Etat et les collectivités territoriales consacrent des sommes considérables à ce secteur, et la question du logement soulève des polémiques récurrentes qui s'alimentent de nombreuses contradictions. L'auteur souligne ici la complexité de ces sujets en présentant simultanément les connaissances disponibles et les diverses thèses en présence. L'ouvrage s'organise autour de quinze grandes interrogations dont l'auteur ne craint pas de présenter les incertitudes et les controverses. Fruit de plusieurs années d'enseignement au Cycle d'Urbanisme de Sciences Po, les questions essentielles comme l'accès au crédit, les besoins en logement, la vente HLM, etc., sont davantage traitées pour en comprendre les enjeux que sur le plan des techniques propres aux économistes ou autres acteurs.

Summary:
Combining place and fiction in an imaginative interpretation of 10 sites in the city of London, CJ Lim takes well-known institutions, epochs and lifestyles in the British capital and renders them fantastic in a string of architectural short stories. The medium is an intersection of paper assemblages with short stories. The stories have been exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts and the Victoria and Albert Museum but are collected for the first time in a single volume, laid out as they were designed to be seen as one phantasmogoric city vision. Painstakingly constructed, the stories assemble a sequence of improbable marriages between architecture and story, encompassing a retelling of the Three Little Pigs at Smithfield, a dating agency at Battersea, and a ringed transport system manifesting as a celestial river over the great metropolis. Drawing on a wealth of literary symbolism from Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland to Dickens’s A Tale of Two Cities and imbued with humour and irony, the book builds on London’s rich mix of extravagance and fictive tradition.

Summary:
The Transatlantic Collapse of Urban Renewal examines how postwar thinkers from both sides of the Atlantic considered urban landscapes radically changed by the political and physical realities of sprawl, urban decay, and urban renewal. With a sweep that encompasses New York, London, Berlin, Philadelphia, and Toronto, among others, Christopher Klemek traces changing responses to the challenging issues that most affected the lives of the world’s cities. In the postwar decades, the principles of modernist planning came to be challenged—in the grassroots revolts against the building of freeways through urban neighborhoods, for instance, or by academic critiques of slum clearance policy agendas—and then began to collapse entirely. Over the 1960s, several alternative views of city life emerged among neighborhood activists, New Left social scientists, and neoconservative critics. Ultimately, while a pessimistic view of urban crisis may have won out in the United States and Great Britain, Klemek demonstrates that other countries more successfully harmonized urban renewal and its alternatives. This much anticipated book provides one of the first truly international perspectives on issues central to historians and planners alike, making it essential reading for anyone engaged with either field.
