Summary:
Today's urban riverfronts are changing. The decline of river commerce and riverside industry has made riverfront land once used for warehouses, factories, and loading docks available for open space, parks, housing, and nonindustrial uses. Urban rivers, which once functioned as open sewers for cities, are now seen as part of larger watershed ecosystems. Rivertown examines(...)

Summary:
Today's urban riverfronts are changing. The decline of river commerce and riverside industry has made riverfront land once used for warehouses, factories, and loading docks available for open space, parks, housing, and nonindustrial uses. Urban rivers, which once functioned as open sewers for cities, are now seen as part of larger watershed ecosystems. Rivertown examines urban river restoration efforts across the United States, presenting case studies from Los Angeles; Washington, D.C.; Portland, Oregon; Chicago; Salt Lake City; and San Jose. It also analyzes the roles of the federal government (in particular, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) and citizen activism in urban river politics. A postscript places New Orleans's experience with Hurricane Katrina in the broader context of the national riverside land-use debate. Each case study in Rivertown considers the critical questions of who makes decisions about our urban rivers, who pays to implement these decisions, and who ultimately benefits or suffers from these decisions. In Los Angeles, for example, local nonprofit and academic research groups played crucial roles, whereas Chicago relied on a series of engineering interventions. In each case, authors evaluate the ecological issues and consider urban river restoration projects in relation to other urban economic and environmental initiatives in the region. Rivertown is a valuable resource for urban planners and citizen groups as well as for scholars.

Summary:
Architecture photographer Takeshi Yamagishi’s first monographic collection presents his recordings of virtually every aspect of the collisions between architecture as the edge of artificiality and various forces of nature. The extensive series covers a period from the immediate aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 to the ongoing restoration efforts today, including measures against future catastrophes. It contains roughly 200 ultra-high-resolution images captured using 4 x 5 film, rather than digitally, and forms an impressive homage to the resilience and tenacity of the Japanese people, expressed through the built environment and augmented landscapes.

Summary:
Louise Bourgeois' tapestry and needlepoint work deals with reparation in both a literal and metaphorical sense. In many of the works, fragmented tapestries are pieced together and repaired to create new sculptural forms. The recurring practices of weaving, stitching and mending express Bourgeois' identification with her childhood and the family business of tapestry restoration. Coupled with the medium of tapestry, Bourgeois' recurring motif of the spider symbolizes her mother, a weaver, and fully explores the complex relationship between mother and child. This publication includes archival photographs and facsimile documents from the Bourgeois family archive, as well as excerpts from the artist's psychoanalytical writings.

Covered with printed tarpaulins — displaying either monumental advertisements or photographic reproductions of the façades themselves — these buildings temporarily vanish beneath a fabricated version of reality. These urban trompe-l’œils form an ephemeral stage set that conceals the city’s construction work and transformations. The photographs play with this ambiguity, between cut stone and polyvinyl sheeting. They recount the history of Paris, from Haussmann’s grand renovations to today’s Grand Paris project, and reveal an urban system in constant flux — exposing, through these images, the invisible mechanisms that shape the city.

Contributors place Indigenous practices of freedom within the particularities of Indigenous place-based laws, cosmologies, and diplomacies, while also demonstrating how Indigeneity is shaped across colonial borders. Collectively, they examine the relationships among language, Indigenous ontologies, and land reclamation; Indigenous ecology and restoration; the interconnectivity of environmental exploitation and racial, class, and gender exploitation; Indigenous diasporic movement; community urban planning; transnational organizing and relational anti-racist place-making; and the role of storytelling and children in movements for liberation.
