In this book, edited and curated by Moniek Driesse, the past, present, and future imaginaries that govern our relationship with water are permitted to draw maps that can serve as tools for urban administrators, researchers, and citizens who live the reality determined by them. With this approach, long-term memories carried by the urban landscape reflect into possible narratives of hope for the future. The focus is on Mexico City, where rivers have turned into highways and subterranean basins are drying out, presenting new dangers to the city.

Summary:
"Last Landscapes" is an exploration of the cult and celebration of death, loss and memory. It traces the history and design of burial places throughout Europe and the USA, ranging from the picturesque tradition of the village churchyard to tightly packed ‘cities of the dead’, such as the Jewish Cemetery in Prague and Père Lachaise in Paris. Other landscapes that feature in this book include the war cemeteries of northern France, Viking burial islands in central Sweden, Etruscan tombs and early Christian catacombs in Italy, the 17th-century Portuguese–Jewish cemetery 'Beth Haim' at Ouderkerk in the Netherlands, Forest Lawns in California, Derek Jarman’s garden in Kent and the Stockholm Woodland Cemetery. It is a fact that architecture ‘began with the tomb', yet, as Ken Worpole shows us in Last Landscapes, many historic cemeteries have been demolished or abandoned in recent times (notably the case with Jewish cemeteries in Eastern Europe), and there has been an increasing loss of inscription and memorialization in the modern urban cemetery. Too often cemeteries today are both poorly designed and physically and culturally marginalized. Worse, cremation denies a full architectural response to the mystery and solemnity of death. The author explores how modes of disposal – burial, cremation, inhumation in mausoleums and wall tombs – vary across Europe and North America, according to religious and other cultural influences. And Last Landscapes raises profound questions as to how, in an age of mass cremation, architects and landscape designers might create meaningful structures and settings in the absence of a body, since for most of history the human body itself has provided the fundamental structural scale. This evocative book also contemplates other forms of memorialization within modern societies, from sculptures to parks, most notably the extraordinary Duisberg Park, set in a former giant steelworks in Germany’s Ruhr Valley.

Summary:
Objet d'une urbanisation sans précédent, le Chicago des années 1920 constitue un gigantesque " laboratoire social ". Fascinés par le comportement de l'homme dans son nouveau milieu urbain, des sociologues, dont Robert Park, Ernest Burgess, Roderick Mackenzie, William Thomas et Louis Wirth, jettent les bases d'une "approche écologique de la ville". Groupes sociaux, territoires, ségrégation; mobilité; réseaux de relations, mentalités, sociabilité : pour la première fois, la ville est pensée comme société, comme culture et, finalement, comme état d'esprit. Grâce à ces nouveaux concepts, les sociologues de Chicago se donnent pour objectif de produire des connaissances utiles au règlement des problèmes sociaux concrets, particulièrement ceux de l'assimilation de millions d'immigrants à la société américaine. Leurs méthodes de travail, annonçant la sociologie qualitative, vont profondément marquer la recherche sociologique. Cet ouvrage rassemble les textes fondateurs de ce courant, ainsi qu'un article de Maurice Halbwachs sur la croissance de Chicago et son caractère exemplaire de creuset ethnique et culturel, et des textes de Georg Simmel, qui esquissait, dès 1903, la spécificité d'une personnalité urbaine.
