Summary:
Global cities (and their designs in particular) have rested on the paradigm of market-driven development, and have been interpreted as strategic spaces of neoliberal restructuring. Whilst they are now hit by the crisis of this ideology, the situation also offers the opportunity and necessity to imagine another, more social city. Yet designers continue to hold back(...)

Summary:
Global cities (and their designs in particular) have rested on the paradigm of market-driven development, and have been interpreted as strategic spaces of neoliberal restructuring. Whilst they are now hit by the crisis of this ideology, the situation also offers the opportunity and necessity to imagine another, more social city. Yet designers continue to hold back criticism and proposals. It is, however, time to redefine the role of design for a social city and take action. What is the role of design in the production of urban space? Is it merely an element in the commodified colonisation of social spaces? Or are design and the visual and physical representations of urban issues themselves the key means by which a Civic City may be created from the ideological ruins of existing urban spaces? Jesko Fezer argues for a project of accommodating conflicts by design.

Summary:
Urban Britain is not functioning as it should. Social inequalities and regional disparities show little sign of going away. Efforts to generate growth, and spread it to the poorer areas of cities, have failed dismally. Much new urban development and redevelopment is not up to standard. Yet there are cities in mainland Europe, which have set new standards of high-quality(...)

Summary:
Urban Britain is not functioning as it should. Social inequalities and regional disparities show little sign of going away. Efforts to generate growth, and spread it to the poorer areas of cities, have failed dismally. Much new urban development and redevelopment is not up to standard. Yet there are cities in mainland Europe, which have set new standards of high-quality sustainable urban development. This book looks at these best-practice examples – in Germany, the Netherlands, France and Scandinavia, – and suggests ways in which the UK and other countries could do the same.

Summary:
La mondialisation est avant tout urbaine. Devenue un gigantesque accélérateur de trajectoires individuelles, soumise aux impératifs de la vitesse, la ville des flux perd progressivement son attache avec le territoire. Elle oscille ainsi entre les friches urbaines des non-lieux que les flux contournent – les favelas de Rio ou São Paulo, les bidonvilles de Kinshasa et de(...)

Elle oscille ainsi entre les friches urbaines des non-lieux que les flux contournent – les favelas de Rio ou São Paulo, les bidonvilles de Kinshasa et de Johannesburg – et le paroxysme de la communication des hyperlieux branchés sur les réseaux, où s’affichent les signes d’une modernité agressive et insolente – comme à Singapour, Doha ou Dubaï. Y a-t-il encore une place pour l’émergence de milieux qui cherchent à soumettre ces flux à l’exigence anthropologique de l’habiter, ainsi qu’à celle, politique, de l’agir ensemble – comme le symbolisent désormais la place Tahrir du Caire ou la place Taksim d’Istanbul ?
