Summary:
Change is an inherent feature of any city. As the wide-reaching and complex research conducted for this publication illustrates, this can challenge the rational distribution of functions in the urban space and provide temporary occupation for all sorts of purposes and activities. Here, ‘Occasional Urbanities’ refers to change brought about by the growing complexity of urban societies which sees new forms or urbanism and urban aesthetics arising that at the same time pose new problems for a city. While the term, ‘Post-it’ highlights the moveable aspects of the contemporary urban terrain that gives rise to these mutations – fleeting occupations, accumulation and re-location of objects and travelling micro-communities.

Comme le langage, la ville se transforme sans cesse et surprend toujours.Est-ce si grave ? Pas pour le promeneur qui, en chaque lieu ou presque, comme le libertin de Kundera, est mu par « le désir de s’emparer de l’infi nie diversité du monde ». Surtout s’il ne projette pas sur les villes un idéal subjectif. Bien sûr, personne ne vit dans un état permanent de bien-être absolu. Mais chacun peut apprécier les moments où il est en paix avec la ville telle qu’elle est, malgré ce qu’elle est.

Les infrastructures inscrivent sur le territoire des imaginaires réalisés de la ville, de la mobilité et des transports, un système de communication symbolique aussi puissant que les infrastructures matérielles. Cette dimension peu souvent approchée des infrastructures est investie par cet ouvrage. La culture mythologique, fictionnelle ou fantasmatique des infrastructures s'explore dans l'analyse des productions filmiques et discursives, et dans les pratiques et expériences de la route que développe et exporte "en masse" la culture américaine d'après-guerre. La puissance de l'imaginaire infrastructurel se révèle dans ce qui lie l'infrastructure aux récits du futur, futurs des villes ou de l'architecture. Il n'y a alors pas de futur sans infrastructure. Approchées dans toutes les échelles de ses perceptions, passant de l'oeil à fouie avec les infrastructures sonores, du monument unique au réseau mondial des flagship, du symbole du progrès à un outil de communication de la société post-industrielle, de la présence dure et durable à la flexibilité, au détournement ou à l'adaptation, les infrastructures dessinent le paysage multicouche de notre environnement bâti, sensoriel et spectaculaire.
