Summary:
Dans le contexte d'une économie de l'immatériel et de la connaissance, les nouveaux moteurs économiques sont les services aux entreprises, qui s'implantent généralement dans les métropoles. Quel développement alors pour les villes moyennes ? Doivent-elles copier le mode métropolitain ? Quel avenir pour celles qui échoueraient ? Leurs fonctions traditionnelles peuvent-elles suffire à leur développement, ou sont-elles destinées à devenir des centres de consommation et de résidence, à l'écart des grandes mutations économiques ? Cet ouvrage aborde cette problématique de plusieurs façons: certains chapitres analysent systématiquement l'ensemble des villes moyennes françaises, d'autres étudient plus en détail des contextes particuliers, soit urbains, soit sectoriels et régionaux.

Summary:
The Prudential Center anchors the Boston skyline with its tall, gray tower. Though unassuming architecturally, it is a historical beacon, representing a midcentury moment when insurance companies such as Prudential were particularly aware of how their physical presence and civic engagement reflected upon their intangible product: financial security. Looking to New York's Rockefeller Center, the creators of the Prudential Center aspired to use real estate development as a tool toward civic achievement, reinvigorating central Boston and integrating a large complex of buildings with new infrastructure for the automobile. Architectural historian Elihu Rubin tells the full story of "The Pru", placing it within the political, economic, and architectural contexts of the period. The Prudential Center played a pivotal role in the economic redevelopment of Boston and was arguably one of the most significant urban developments of the 1950s and '60s. It is an important story, and one that provides great insight into the evolution of the modern city in postwar America.

Summary:
From his first visit to Berlin in 1916, Hitler was preoccupied and fascinated by Germany''s great capital city. In this vivid and entirely new account of Hitler''s relationship with Berlin, Thomas Friedrich explores how Hitler identified with the city, how his political aspirations were reflected in architectural aspirations for the capital, and how Berlin surprisingly influenced the development of Hitler''s political ideas. A leading expert on the twentieth-century history of Berlin, Friedrich employs new and little-known German sources to track Hitler''s attitudes and plans for the city. Even while he despised both the cosmopolitan culture of the Weimar Republic and the profound Jewish influence on the city, Hitler was drawn to the grandiosity of its architecture and its imperial spirit. He dreamed of transforming Berlin into a capital that would reflect his autocracy, and he used the city for such varied purposes as testing his anti-Semitic policies and demonstrating the might of the Third Reich. Illuminating Berlin's burdened years under Nazi subjection, Friedrich offers new understandings of Hitler and his politics, architectural views, and artistic opinions.
