Summary:
L'épreuve pandémique que nous traversons a révélé l'incapacité des villes à prendre soin de leurs habitants. A partir de ce constat, cet essai interroge le rôle prépondérant qu'a pris la technique dans nos vies métropolitaines, et envisage la crise sanitaire comme une occasion de remettre l'humain au centre du projet urbain.

A partir de ce constat, cet essai interroge le rôle prépondérant qu'a pris la technique dans nos vies métropolitaines, et envisage la crise sanitaire comme une occasion de remettre l'humain au centre du projet urbain. Des transports de masse à la climatisation, des appareils ménagers aux outils informatiques, des réseaux d'énergie à ceux de communication, rien ne semble plus possible sans la technique. En accompagnant l'urbanisation planétaire, de servante, elle est devenue maîtresse. La ville a fini par se confondre avec une gigantesque infrastructure. On aurait pu attendre d'elle, en contrepartie, qu'elle soit protectrice. Or, il n'en est rien. Il faut remettre en jeu le corps dans la ville, prendre la question des sens - des cinq sens - au sérieux et placer le vécu de l'habitant au coeur du design urbain. La crise a montré que la relation est la valeur fondamentale de la ville résiliente. Cet essai souligne l'urgence de concevoir la ville autrement, de créer une architecture de la résonance ; résonance avec la planète, avec le contexte, avec l'habitant.

In this book, Athens is depicted like an incomplete and unfinished city, in which its parts are in permanent construction, or continual ruination. But it is exactly this permanent condition of instability – its openness and formal instability – that offers the possibility of inhabiting the city again.

But it is exactly this permanent condition of instability – its openness and formal instability – that offers the possibility of inhabiting the city again. Once more, the task of collage is to continue with its disruptive and radical legacy, which is to build and variegate a contradictory and often paradoxical urban iconography that helps make the fragmented and often irreconcilable parts of the city coexist.

Summary:
This publication offers an introduction to the complex world of urban development, identity and participation. It explains how the self-understanding of cities is mirrored in their approach to urban development. The basis of the book is formed by portraits of six European cities: Berlin, Hamburg, Paris, Lyon, Amsterdam and Groningen. The book fills a gap as it provides general introductions to cities, a brief outline of the city’s planning system, a short historic introduction to the city’s planning culture. With telling and outstanding examples of citizen participation this book offers important insights in both the intrinsic logic of the cities and the mechanisms – sometimes more inclusive, sometimes more exclusive- of participation.

Summary:
By reorganizing access to a wide spectrum of fundamental domains, such as education, housing, health care, or even political information, platforms are destined to become the most powerful players regulating the way we live in cities. Digital platforms such as Facebook, Uber, Airbnb, and Amazon are not only new types of enterprises but also a completely new culture of life – from the products we handle and the services we use every day to entire urban neighbourhoods that will be built by major platform enterprises in the next few years. These multi-scalar changes raise significant questions about the social potentials and risks of the architecture of these all-encompassing ecosystems.

Summary:
This publication presents Rahul Mehrotra’s writings over the last thirty years and illustrates his long-term engagement with and analysis of urbanism in India. This work has given rise to a new conceptualization of the city. Mehrotra calls it the Kinetic City, which is the counterpoint to the Static City, as familiar to most of us from conventional city maps. He argues that the city should instead be perceived, read, and mapped in terms of patterns of occupation and associative values attributed to space. The framework is established in this publication by Rahul Mehrotra’s anchor essay, which draws out its potential to “allow a better understanding of the blurred lines of contemporary urbanism and the changing roles of people and spaces in urban society.”

City life has been reconfigured by our use—and our expectations—of communication, data, and sensing technologies. In this book Alison Powell examines the civic use, regulation, and politics of these technologies, looking at how governments, planners, citizens, and activists expect them to enhance life in the city.

Summary:
City life has been reconfigured by our use—and our expectations—of communication, data, and sensing technologies. In this book Alison Powell examines the civic use, regulation, and politics of these technologies, looking at how governments, planners, citizens, and activists expect them to enhance life in the city. She argues that the de facto forms of citizenship that emerge in relation to these technologies represent sites of contention over how governance and civic power should operate. These sites become more significant as an increasingly urbanized and polarized world faces new struggles over local participation and engagement. The author moves past the usual discussion of top-down versus bottom-up civic action and instead explains how citizenship shifts in response to technological change and particularly in response to issues related to pervasive sensing, big data, and surveillance in “smart cities.”

Pourtant, les questions langagières sont pour le moins négligées par la recherche urbaine. Pour remédier à ce manque, des architectes, des urbanistes, des sociologues, des historiens et des géographes se penchent, dans cette publication, sur ces termes qui inspirent et orientent la production et la pensée de la ville. Ils s’interrogent sur la façon dont les mots font évoluer les représentations urbaines. Les auteurs soulèvent aussi la question des phénomènes émergents qui nécessitent un lexique original. Comment nommer le nouveau ? Et surtout : les mots nouveaux s’appliquent-ils à des situations réellement inédites ?

Eyes on the Street is a revelation of the phenomenal woman who raised three children, wrote seven groundbreaking books, saved neighborhoods, stopped expressways, was arrested twice, and engaged at home and on the streets in thousands of debates--all of which she won. Here is the child who challenged her third-grade teacher; the high school poet; the journalist who honed her writing skills at Iron Age, Architectural Forum, Fortune, and other outlets, while amassing the knowledge she would draw upon to write her most famous book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities. Here, too, is the activist who helped lead an ultimately successful protest against Robert Moses's proposed expressway through her beloved Greenwich Village; and who, in order to keep her sons out of the Vietnam War, moved to Canada, where she became as well known and admired as she was in the United States.
