Summary:
This book examines the “informal revolution" in American urban life, exploring a proliferating phenomenon often associated with developing countries rather than industrialized ones and often dismissed by planners and policy makers as marginal or even criminal. The case studies and analysis in The Informal City challenge this narrow conception of informal urbanism.

The aim of the Urban-A-Where? project is to encourage coexistences through multi-rhythmic urban environments, bringing to light the processes of making urbanity and the need for public engagement in a creative and critical manner. The project contributes to the implementation of an active urban society, emphasising the increasing importance of urban environments globally. Becoming playfully and publically engaged allows architects, visual artists and urbanists from Cyprus and other European countries to assist and criticise everyday urban processes and spatial practices through a range of tactics and actions, a variety of which are documented in texts and photos.

Summary:
In the early twentieth century, America was transformed from a predominantly agricultural nation to one whose population resided mostly in cities. Yet rural areas continued to hold favored status in the country's political life. For prominent figures in the social sciences, city planning, and real estate who were anxious about the future of cities, this obsession with the agrarian past inspired a new campaign for urban reform. They called for ongoing programs of natural resource management to be extended to maintain and improve cities. Jennifer S. Light finds a new understanding of the history of urban renewal in the United States in the rise and fall of the American conservation movement.

Under a single encompassing gesture, it doesn''t only contribute functional benefits to the city of Logroño (a new high-speed railway and bus station), but specially allows to create a large pedestrian space, a park or artificial hill, culminating with uninterrupted pursuit of a new urban green ring where the tracks would separate the city in two.

D’autres thèmes très variés ont pris de l’importance, comme la logistique urbaine, les « budgets-temps », les inégalités ou les modèles « transport-urbanisme ». Il faut saluer aussi le développement des travaux économiques et financiers appliqués à la mobilité urbaine, sans oublier non plus la prospective. Cet ouvrage fait une large place aux résultats du programme de recherche et d’innovation dans les transports terrestres Predit. En effet, à l’initiative notamment de la direction de la recherche et de l’innovation du ministère chargé du développement durable et de l’Ademe, ce programme a fortement contribué à la construction d’un édifice conceptuel polyphonique, mais qui ne manque pas d’une certaine cohérence dans sa diversité et a produit de véritables outils d’aide à la décision publique.
