Summary:
The contemporary public domain, the "free" space where culture is produced and exchanged, is under pressure.

Summary:
The contemporary public domain, the "free" space where culture is produced and exchanged, is under pressure. The exchange and distribution of cultural products ("content" in the form of music, image or text) is easier in digital society, but increasingly hemmed in by corresponding moves towards greater regulation and control, new copyright laws and intellectual property policy. Instead of enjoying a "free culture," we are watching the emergence of what Lawrence Lessig calls "a permission culture." Simultaneously, as an aspect of broader privatization and regulation processes, private entities are appropriating more and more of public culture, and deciding what is made available or publicly accessible. This issue of the Dutch architectural journal, Open, investigates the root causes of these developments, how they interrelate and what the implications are for the "free" production and practice of culture, as well as for the internal dynamics and balance of power in the public domain.

Summary:
New York se modernise constamment et a inventé depuis longtemps des règles d'urbanisme pour dynamiser son territoire et doper son attractivité. Les années Bloomberg (2002-2013) n'y ont pas dérogé, et la ville s'est réenchantée, avec des trottoirs gagnés sur la voiture, des pistes cyclables, des cafés sur les trottoirs, des parcs le long des fleuves - à Manhattan comme dans tous les boroughs... Au-delà de l'engouement pour la High Line, promenade aérienne, au-delà du succès de la walkable city, des édifices innovants et de la reconquête des rives, PIaNYC 2030, programme d'ensemble d'un New York durable, innove par une charte thématique remplaçant les plans et une doctrine tenant lieu de prévisions, cela en période d'incertitudes croissantes.
