Dans cette course sans fin, ils font des commerces les plus divers qu'ils vendent aux pauvres des quartiers pauvres. Cette mondialisation par le bas du poor to poor, pour les pauvres par les pauvres, est une extraordinaire soupape d'économie parallèle, trop souvent inconnue. Le fétichisme de la marchandise inhérent à la globalisation des économies libérales leur offre le rôle d'entrepreneurs commerciaux nomades et cosmopolites à travers les enclaves urbaines ethniques de leurs circulations, suggérant les contours de peuples transeuropéens sans nation. Surtout, cette mondialisation structure des appartenances souvent communautaires, ethniques, religieuses, passant de communautés immigrées en communautés immigrées.

Summary:
Water lies at the intersection of landscape and infrastructure, crossing between visible and invisible domains of urban space, in the tanks and buckets of the global South and the vast subterranean technological networks of the global North. In this book, Matthew Gandy considers the cultural and material significance of water through the experiences of six cities: Paris, Berlin, Lagos, Mumbai, Los Angeles, and London. Tracing the evolving relationships among modernity, nature, and the urban imagination, from different vantage points and through different periods, Gandy uses water as a lens through which to observe both the ambiguities and the limits of nature as conventionally understood.

The cultural economy forms a leading trajectory of urban development, and has emerged as a key facet of globalizing cities. Cultural industries include new media, digital arts, music and film, and the design industries and professions, as well as allied consumption and spectacle in the city. The cultural economy now represents the third-largest sector in metropolitan cities of the West (for example London, Berlin, New York, San Francisco, and Melbourne), but is also influential in the development of East Asian cities (Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore), as well as the mega-cities of the Global South (e.g. Mumbai, Capetown, and São Paulo).

The park was the result of a hard-fought, decadelong protest movement in a low-income Maghrebi and African immigrant district starved for infrastructure, but the Mayor's vision of urban sustainability was met with jeers.Drawing extensively from immersive, firsthand ethnographic research with northeast Paris residents, as well as an analysis of green architecture and urban design, Andrew Newman argues that environmental politics must be separated from the construct of urban sustainability, which has been appropriated by forces of redevelopment and gentrification in Paris and beyond.
