Cette rencontre se proposait, à travers une série de "tables rondes" thématiques, de "croiser les regards" sur un horizon urbain fortement marqué par la croissance des échanges, en particulier - mais pas seulement - touristiques, et par l'impact de la mondialisation. Le compte-rendu de ces tables rondes a été enrichi de plusieurs éclairages complémentaires rédigés par des intervenants ou des auteurs issus de diverses disciplines contribuant à l'approfondissement de la réflexion histoire, anthropologie, sociologie, philosophie, littérature... Ce volume constitue ainsi une invitation collective à la poursuite du débat sur le devenir de la civilisation urbaine. "La littérature voyageuse n'épargne pas les tares d'un environnement urbain souvent perçu comme inhumain et irrespectueux des hommes, qu'ils soient autochtones ou touristes. La ville met mal à l'aise les écrivains voyageurs. Elle les gêne, car le "chaos urbain" les perturbe. Il leur faut de grands espaces libres, la nature sauvage, la force de la confrontation des êtres, les yeux dans les yeux. Le plus souvent, ils fuient la ville comme une malédiction..."

Summary:
Le paysage industriel n’est pas le fruit de la nécessité. L’État intervient dès 1806 pour protéger la capitale des nuisances – olfactives et visuelles – générées par l’artisanat et la toute nouvelle industrie. Généralisée à tout l’Empire en 1810, l’enquête préalable à toute nouvelle implantation, dite commodo et incommodo, est le premier manifeste du développement durable, entre l’économique, le social et le politique. Le décret du 15 octobre 1810 gère ainsi la géographie des manufactures parisiennes: les plus dangereuses sont chassées du centre et vont essarter les faubourgs, alors que les quartiers aisés et les communes résidentielles se protègent en refusant les nouvelles implantations, donnant ainsi naissance au paysage "typique" de la première couronne francilienne Appliqué avec fermeté au début, surtout dans la capitale, le décret réduit notablement la pollution des fabriques en contenant les émanations, en élevant les cheminées et en enterrant les eaux usées. Puis, devant la volonté de faire de la France la première puissance industrielle d’Europe, il s’efface devant les grands établissements pour ne s’appliquer qu’aux petits métiers. Dès la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle, la croissance industrielle déborde les "fortifs" et se déploie sur la banlieue, surtout au nord-est et au sud-est. Celle-ci intègre les basses couches sociales rejetées par l’haussmannisation vers les usines délétères. Dans les banlieues toujours plus ouvrières, plus sombres, la pollution échappe au contrôle de l’administration. Les bidonvilles s’étalent dans les creux du tissu industriel. L’espace est saturé, le paroxysme atteint dans l’entre-deux-guerres. Le paysage séculaire ne se transforme qu’à partir des années 60, grâce à la politique de décentralisation et de déconcentration industrielle.

Summary:
The underground has been a dominant image of modern life since the late eighteenth century. A site of crisis, fascination, and hidden truth, the underground is a space at once more immediate and more threatening than the ordinary world above. In Subterranean Cities, David L. Pike explores the representation of underground space in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a period during which technology and heavy industry transformed urban life. The metropolis had long been considered a moral underworld of iniquity and dissolution. As the complex drainage systems, underground railways, utility tunnels, and storage vaults of the modern cityscape superseded the countryside of caverns and mines as the principal location of actual subterranean spaces, ancient and modern converged in a mythic space that was nevertheless rooted in the everyday life of the contemporary city. Writers and artists from Felix Nadar and Charles Baudelaire to Charles Dickens and Alice Meynell, Gustave Doré and Victor Hugo, George Gissing and Emile Zola, and Jules Verne and H. G. Wells integrated images of the urban underworld into their portrayals of the anatomy of modern society. Illustrated with photographs, movie stills, prints, engravings, paintings, cartoons, maps, and drawings of actual and imagined urban spaces, Subterranean Cities documents the emergence of a novel space in the subterranean obsessions and anxieties within nineteenth-century urban culture. Chapters on the subways, sewers, and cemeteries of Paris and London provide a detailed analysis of these competing centers of urban modernity. A concluding chapter considers the enduring influence of these spaces on urban culture at the turn of the twenty-first century.

Summary:
"Space, the city and social theory" offers a critical account of key approaches to cities and urban space within social theory and analysis. It explores the relation of the social and the spatial in the context of critical urban themes: community and anonymity; social difference and spatial divisions; politics and public space; gentrification and urban renewal; gender and sexuality; subjectivity and space; experience and everyday practice in the city. The text adopts an international and interdisciplinary approach, drawing on a range of debates on cities and urban life. It brings together classic perspectives in urban sociology and social theory with the analysis of contemporary urban problems and issues. Rather than viewing the urban simply as a backdrop for more general social processes, the discussion looks at how social and spatial relations shape different versions of the city: as a place of social interaction and of solitude; as a site of difference and segregation; as a space of politics and power; as a landscape of economic and cultural distinction; as a realm of everyday experience and freedom. Similarly, it examines how core social categories - such as class, culture, gender, sexuality and community - are shaped and reproduced in urban contexts.

Summary:
Un-volumetric architecture expresses a new condition acquired in dealing with and designing open and public space from the nineties to today. This volume is therefore intended to offer a theoretical reflection conducted through 100 construction projects worldwide that have faced the difficult challenge of delineating and building a new identity for that transient and continually metamorphosing category that is the contemporary open space. The considerable creative freedom, the low budget, the sophisticated relationship with the landscape and geography, the dialogue with new metropolitan realities, the possibility of offering temporary solutions, all make these projects among the richest, freest and most stimulating collections currently available, through the work of major protagonists and many emerging authors on the international scene. The volume is divided into 10 sections: Surfaces, Vertical, Enclosures, Design, Shelters, Environment, Earthworks, Figures, Technique and Events, which attempt to accompany the reader around a complex world of solutions and projects ranging from the traditional public space to the landscape, from the rock concert to the provisional space for cultural and artistic events, from the design of infrastructures to the most sophisticated garden. Each section is introduced by a small essay, written by such important authors on the contemporary scene as Denise Scott Brown, James Wines, Pippo Ciorra, Wes Jones, Enrico Morteo, Alberto Ferlenga, Ilhyun Kim, Kengo Kuma, Arie Graafland, Juan Purcell and Bernardo Secchi, who attempt to tackle the theme of the contemporary open space, offering stimuli for theoretical reflection.

Summary:
Exploring locales such as city streets, bus stops, parking lots, bars, retail establishments, and discussion groups, "Together Alone" ventures into what is often thought of as the realm of passing strangers to examine the nature of personal relationships conducted in public spaces. While most studies of social interaction have gone behind closed doors to focus on relationships in the family, school, and workplace, this innovative collection pushes the boundaries of the field by analyzing both fleeting and anchored relationships in the seldom-studied communal areas where much of contemporary life takes place. The contributors shed light on the diversity and character of day-to-day negotiations in public spaces and at the same time illuminate how these social ties paradoxically blend aspects of durability and brevity, of emotional closeness and distance, of being together and alone.

Plus précisément, comment s'opère le croisement entre politique de la ville et culture?

Summary:
"Caracas litoral, Venezuela" looks at the challenges, obstacles, and opportunities facing the reconstruction of coastal communities near Caracas, after mudslides devastated these areas in December 1999. Already in the midst of informal land development, affluent weekend residents from Caracas had awkwardly occupied this dramatic and precarious strip of coastland between the Gulf of Mexico and the Avila Mountain - also shared with the national airport and second largest seaport. In a city where most of the urban population lives in informal housing, the contested nature of redevelopment - emergent social, economic, and cultural patterns confronting traditional patterns of settlement - could easily be predicted. Fully bilingual, in English and Spanish, this book explores opportunities that unite the various constituencies through innovative programming, sustainable geological/hydrological infrastructure, and economically viable housing and commercial development.
