Summary:
This book serves as a critical review of Social Urbanism, defined as a socio-political and practical approach to urban globalisation, deriving from a planning strategy and portfolio of built projects that seek to alleviate the social consequences of urbanisation. It emphasises both the political processes and the urbanism projects that simultaneously consider socio-economic and ecological components of space, and which highlight a greater focus on social sustainability. In a context in which geography defines space and culture, and through challenges of a global magnitude, we are inextricably united in an era of environmental uncertainty, where shared experiences and values place us within a collective culture, inspiring mutual agency in service of this vision for Social Urbanism.

Summary:
Best defined as the art of shaping the built environment, urban design seeks to understand and analyze the variety of forces—social, economic, cultural, legal, ecological, and aesthetic—that affect how we live. The complex challenges facing cities today—scarcity of resources, growing economic divisions, and rampant sprawl, among others—are forcing a reconsideration of(...)

Summary:
Best defined as the art of shaping the built environment, urban design seeks to understand and analyze the variety of forces—social, economic, cultural, legal, ecological, and aesthetic—that affect how we live. The complex challenges facing cities today—scarcity of resources, growing economic divisions, and rampant sprawl, among others—are forcing a reconsideration of urban design. New Urbanism, a leading movement within urban design, advocates a return to small-town urban forms: human-scale, pedestrian-friendly streets, a reinvigoration of cities, and a stop to suburban sprawl. This new volume, drawing on a conference and debates at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, comprehensively examines New Urbanism today and speculates about it’s future. With contributions from Christopher Alexander, Leon Krier, Peter Hall, Andrés Duany, Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, Jeff Speck, William McDonough, Peter Calthorpe, Jan Gehl, Lars Lerup, Edward Soja, and Saskia Sassen, among others, New Urbanism and Beyond is both a comprehensive primer on urban design and a provocation for practitioners, historians, and citizens everywhere.

Summary:
The city in the twenty-first century faces major challenges, including social and economic stratification, wasteful consumption of resources, transportation congestion, and environmental degradation. More than half of the world’s population lives in cities and major metropolitan areas, and in the next two decades the number of city dwellers is estimated to reach five billion. This puts enormous pressures on transportation systems, housing stock, and infrastructure such as energy, waste, and water, which directly influences the emissions of greenhouse gases. As the long emergency awaits us, urgent questions remain: How will our cities survive? How can we combat and reconcile urban growth with sustainable use of resources for future generations to thrive? Where and how urbanism comes into the picture and what “sustainable” urban forms can do in light of these events are some of the issues Sustainable Urbanism and Beyond explores. With more than sixty essays, including contributions by Andrés Duany, Saskia Sassen, Peter Newman, Douglas Farr, Henry Cisneros, Peter Hall, Sharon Zukin, Peter Eisenman, and others, this book is a unique perspective on architecture, urban planning, environmental and urban design, exploring ways for raising quality of life and the standard of living in a new modern era by creating better and more viable places to live.

Summary:
François Ascher (1946-2009) Grand Prix de l'urbanisme 2009, choisi à l'unanimité par un jury international, est inclassable. Il a su transférer les savoirs de tous les domaines, les féconder ainsi et offrir un regard renouvelé sur la ville. La liberté revendiquée par l'auteur pour les individus, les sociétés, et lui-même, lui a fait explorer cette ville multiforme, complexe et hétérogène. Il a appelé les acteurs de la ville à une attitude plus ouverte aux modes de vie, inscrite dans les flux et la mobilité, notamment au regard de la triple crise financière, environnementale et sociale. Esprit impertinent, François Ascher aura interpellé décideurs et professionnels pour doter cette ville hypermoderne d'une vision et d'un dessein afin de guider son, aménagement sans céder à la tentation d'une forme de dirigisme qui a fait son temps, car la ville ne se décrète pas. Mais elle peut être conduite en restant à l'écoute des appétences sociales, du marché et des acteurs multiples qui la fabriquent. Il s'agit de mieux faire la ville pour tous et de consacrer autant de talent et d'énergie à toutes les formes qu'elle revêt, de la plus historique à la plus campagnarde, de la plus dense à la moins dense car cette dernière exige aussi de la sollicitude et de la qualité. Qualité de vie, liberté de mouvement, mais aussi responsabilité écologique peuvent se combiner grâce à des lotissements "verts", des modes de déplacement et d'énergie high tech, une vision du devenir territorial, qui appellent à une évolution des gouvernances.
