Summary:
A massive reduction in population and collosal overhaul of economic structure have presented enormous challenges for the people of east Germany over the past 20 years. As part of the International Building Exhibition Urban Redevelopment 2010, 19 towns and cities in the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt have implemented a series of innovative projects and formulated proposals as to how the ever-shrinking towns and cities of east Germany could be redesigned to accommodate their present status. This book provides a general view of the methods, methodology and results of this investigation. A historical review of the urban developments of the last two decades show the causes of urban reduction and the IBA's earliest solutions, and three scenarios on the themes of town, landscape and climate outline questions and possible developments for Saxony-Anhalt up to the year 2050. With the IBA, Saxony-Anhalt has also instigated a laboratory for the city of tomorrow, to sustain this project well into the future.

Et si l'avenir de Paris était sa banlieue ? En dix ans, une vision nouvelle de la région parisienne s'est discrètement imposée. Le modèle hiérarchique d'une Île–de-France centrée sur Paris intra muros, administrée par l’État et gouvernant la France a cédé la place à une métropole auto-organisée, dans laquelle ont émergé de fortes polarités économiques et culturelles et(...)

Le modèle hiérarchique d'une Île–de-France centrée sur Paris intra muros, administrée par l’État et gouvernant la France a cédé la place à une métropole auto-organisée, dans laquelle ont émergé de fortes polarités économiques et culturelles et se sont créés des réseaux multilatéraux à l’échelle européenne et mondiale. Ni Paris, ni l’État n’ont disparu, mais la banlieue s’affirme, les PME franciliennes s’émancipent, la jeunesse et la diversité de la population s’imposent. Transport, logement, inégalités, beaucoup reste à faire, mais la métropole du Grand Paris, créée en décembre 2013, esquisse un mode de gouvernance plus efficace et plus juste, avec pour enjeu qu’il soit pleinement démocratique. Une lecture indispensable pour comprendre cette mutation, pour appréhender les prochaines échéances franciliennes et pour apprécier la façon dont la France est entrée dans le XXIe siècle.

The French rust belt, the area that runs from Firminy through Saint-Etienne all the way to Lyon, was regarded for a long time as a thriving region. The industrial revolution in France began in the valleys between the Loire and Rhône rivers.

Summary:
The French rust belt, the area that runs from Firminy through Saint-Etienne all the way to Lyon, was regarded for a long time as a thriving region. The industrial revolution in France began in the valleys between the Loire and Rhône rivers. This led to a process of exploitation and deformation of the landscape, signs of which are still visible today. For more than forty years, the region, like other former industrial sites, has suffered from unemployment and a population exodus. Looking at the long-term photographic study by Nicolas Giraud and Bertrand Stofleth, it is evident that this is now the reality wherever neoliberalism has cut its swathe through industrial communities. Once industry has retreated, the landscapes that are left behind all look fairly similar. In visual terms, there is no great difference between Saint-Etienne and Suhl in Thuringia, for example. In ''La Vallée'', Giraud and Stofleth’s photographs enter into a dialogue with texts by authors from a variety of disciplines.

Summary:
Climate change is already influencing how and where people live. In ''North'', Jesse M. Keenan argues that America is entering a new era marked by shifts in population that will transform everything from the physical landscape of cities to electoral politics. First, Keenan examines how human mobility is shaped by the environment and the economy. Next, he provides a conceptual and empirical overview of adaptation science, with a focus on how people, governments, and markets are preparing for and responding to climate impacts. He documents how physical impacts in the built environment, escalating costs, and public sector inertia are converging to drive people out of high-risk areas, while, at the same time, certain other areas are attracting people who seek a more sustainable way of life. ''North'' is not just a collection of scientific observations and projections about the peril of those left behind. It is also a projection of optimism about America's capacity for decarbonization, environmental stewardship, and economic mobility for those on the move.

La hantise désigne un système qui altère l’expérience d’un vécu linéaire et déforme la façon dont nous séquençons habituellement le passé, le présent et le futur. En prenant pour terrain les romans de Toni Morrison ou Luisa Valenzuela et en les confrontant à des sources plus traditionnelles de la sociologie (articles de presse, comptes rendus judiciaires, rapports d’enquêtes), ''Matières spectrales'' démontre que les structures sociales héritées du passé influencent plus la vie présente que ne le présument la plupart des chercheur·ses en sciences humaines. Afin de montrer comment les fantômes hantent le présent, l’autrice passe au crible une partie de l’histoire de la psychanalyse, avant d’examiner des épisodes de l’histoire tels que l’esclavage aux États-Unis ou les disparitions massives pendant la dictature militaire en Argentine, où des lois interdisaient à la population de parler des disparu·es.

A new understanding of the modern city, its challenges, and why old ideas about urban renewal won’t work. "City : urbanism and its end" begins with a richly textured portrait of New Haven in the early twentieth century, a period of centralized manufacturing, civic vitality, and mixed-use neighborhoods. As social and economic conditions changed, the city confronted its end of urbanism first during the Depression, and then very aggressively during the mayoral reign of Richard C. Lee (1954–70), when New Haven led the nation in urban renewal spending. But government spending has repeatedly failed to restore urban vitality. Rae argues that strategies for the urban future should focus on nurturing the unplanned civic engagements that make mixed-use city life so appealing and so civilized. Cities need not reach their old peaks of population, or look like thriving suburbs, to be once again splendid places for human beings to live and work.

L'appropriation de l'espace par les individus révèle en dernière instance le processus de recomposition sociale spécifique et subséquent à une opération d'aménagement. Au contact de la nouvelle organisation urbaine, les individus transforment leur façon de se comporter dans l'espace urbain, en même temps qu'ils font évoluer les représentations et les valeurs accrochées aux lieux. Se superpose ainsi à l'espace conçu un système complexe d'usages et de significations qui résulte des opérations de rectification, d'ajustement et de réinterprétation des dispositions spatiales par la population. Ainsi, mieux cerner la demande sociale en matière d'urbanisme suppose un renversement de perspective ; un changement de posture de la part des professionnels de l'urbanisme et de leurs mandants qui permettrait de percevoir les effets proprement sociaux de l'instrumentalisation de l'espace.

From Conceptualism to Feminism follows Lippard’s curatorial trajectory, analyzing her transition from a writer about art to a maker of exhibitions, and tracing her growing political engagement and involvement with feminism. Extensive photographic material is complemented by a major new essay by Cornelia Butler and interviews with Lucy Lippard, Seth Siegelaub and with artists in c. 7,500. The volume also includes an analysis of artists’ initiatives in Argentina, which give a context for Lippard’s emerging political consciousness. From Conceptualism to Feminism is the third publication in Afterall’s Exhibition Histories series, which investigates exhibitions that have shaped the way contemporary art is experienced, made and discussed.

Summary:
This book provides an up-to-date introduction to the important and growing field of urban anthropology. This is an increasingly critical area of study, as more than half of the world's population now lives in cities and anthropological research is increasingly done in an urban context. Exploring contemporary anthropological approaches to the urban, the authors consider: How can we define urban anthropology? What are the main themes of twenty-first century urban anthropological research? What are the possible future directions in the field? The chapters cover topics such as urban mobilities, place-making and public space, production and consumption, politics and governance. These are illustrated by lively case studies drawn from a diverse range of urban settings in the global North and South. Accessible yet theoretically incisive, Introducing Urban Anthropology will be a valuable resource for anthropology students as well as of interest to those working in urban studies and related disciplines such as sociology and geography.

These are illustrated by lively case studies drawn from a diverse range of urban settings in the global North and South. Accessible yet theoretically incisive, Introducing Urban Anthropology will be a valuable resource for anthropology students as well as of interest to those working in urban studies and related disciplines such as sociology and geography.
