Summary:
How can urban housing, and the land underneath, now account for half of all global wealth? According to Patrick Condon in ''Broken City'', the simple answer is that land has become an asset rather than a utility. If the rich only indulged themselves with gold, jewels, and art, we wouldn’t have a global housing crisis. But once global capital markets realized land was a(...)

Summary:
How can urban housing, and the land underneath, now account for half of all global wealth? According to Patrick Condon in ''Broken City'', the simple answer is that land has become an asset rather than a utility. If the rich only indulged themselves with gold, jewels, and art, we wouldn’t have a global housing crisis. But once global capital markets realized land was a good speculative investment, runaway housing costs ensued. For example, in Vancouver, land prices increased by six hundred percent between 2008 and 2016. How much wealth have investors extracted from urban land? In this engaging, readable, and insightful treatise, Patrick Condon explains how we have let land, our most durable resource, shift away from the common good and proposes bold strategies for how cities in North America can shift it back.

Summary:
In the final days before the fall of Saigon in 1975, 125,000 Vietnamese who were evacuated or who made their own way out of the country resettled in the United States. Finding themselves in unfamiliar places yet still connected in exile, these refugees began building their own communities as memorials to a lost homeland. Known both officially and unofficially as Little Saigons, these built landscapes offer space for everyday activities as well as the staging of cultural heritage and political events. "Building Little Saigon" examines nearly fifty years of city building by Vietnamese Americans-who number over 2.2 million today. Author Erica Allen-Kim highlights architecture and planning ideas adapted by the Vietnamese communities who, in turn, have influenced planning policies and mainstream practices. Allen-Kim traveled to ten Little Saigons in the United States to visit archives, buildings, and public art and to converse with developers, community planners, artists, business owners, and Vietnam veterans. By examining everyday buildings-who made them and what they mean for those who know them-"Building Little Saigon" shows us the complexities of migration unfolding across lifetimes and generations.

Les aménagements urbains pour les Jeux olympiques 2024 ont suscité de vives résistances, notamment à Saint-Denis et Aubervilliers, au nord de Paris. Mais, au-delà des JO, c’est un immense projet de renouvellement urbain qui se pro?le avec le Grand Paris d’ici 2030. Dans les banlieues populaires, de nombreuses habitantes et habitants sont expulsés, expropriés de leur maison, relogés dans un autre logement social et doivent laisser place aux 68 futures gares du nouveau réseau de transport du Grand Paris Express. Autour de chacune de ces gares, de grands projets urbains prévoient la démolition de milliers de logements sociaux, reconstruits plus loin, plus chers, tandis que les prix immobiliers augmentent rapidement dans le parc privé. En décalage complet avec les besoins des classes populaires qui se paupérisent depuis des décennies, la Métropole du Grand Paris se construit pour tenir son rang dans la concurrence internationale, en rentabilisant le sol urbain et en cherchant à attirer de nouveaux investisseurs.

Summary:
***ÉPUISÉE / OUT OF PRINT*** "Cities in transition" deals with the effects of globalization and internationalization in relation to urbanism and critical assessment in contemporary theory. The book brings together internationally known authors from many countries including England, the USA, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan and the Netherlands. A diversity of critical positions on spatial and social questions is discussed on an international level. The theme of globalization is queried concerning the relation of urban and port developments in Tokyo's Bay Area and in Rotterdam. Cities have historically allowed the coming about of national economies, politics and societies we can think of as centralized. In several contributions this aspect is examined from the viewpoint of the flâneur, a creature of the metropolis, Parisian above all. As for their present day economic function, cities provide agglomeration economies, with a massive concentration of information on the latest developments. The book argues for a new reflexivity related to both economic and cultural understanding of our world. Cities in Transition is the third volume in the "Stylos critical landscape" series, issued by the Faculty of architecture of Delft university of technology.
