Summary:
Exploring locales such as city streets, bus stops, parking lots, bars, retail establishments, and discussion groups, "Together Alone" ventures into what is often thought of as the realm of passing strangers to examine the nature of personal relationships conducted in public spaces. While most studies of social interaction have gone behind closed doors to focus on relationships in the family, school, and workplace, this innovative collection pushes the boundaries of the field by analyzing both fleeting and anchored relationships in the seldom-studied communal areas where much of contemporary life takes place. The contributors shed light on the diversity and character of day-to-day negotiations in public spaces and at the same time illuminate how these social ties paradoxically blend aspects of durability and brevity, of emotional closeness and distance, of being together and alone.

Summary:
"Designing small parks: a manual for addressing social and ecological concerns" provides guidelines for building better parks by integrating design criteria with current social and natural science research. Small parks are too often relegated to being the step-child of municipal and metropolitan open space systems because of assumptions that their small size and isolation limits their recreational capacity and makes them ecologically less valuable than large city and county parks. This manual is arranged around twelve topics that represent key questions, contradictions, or tensions in the design of small parks. Topics cover fundamental issues for urban parks, natural systems, and human aspects. Also included are useful case studies with alternative design solutions using three different approaches for integrating research findings into small urban park design.

Summary:
La programmation de groupes européens de hip-hop en ouverture de l'édition 2004 de la Biennale de la danse à Lyon est emblématique des changements qui se sont produits, au cours des vingt dernières années, dans les relations entre questions urbaines et pratiques culturelles. Tout comme la création d'événements et l'implantation d'équipements populaires, ce type d'ouverture marque la reconnaissance de nouvelles formes d'intervention artistique, en prise directe avec des populations hier délaissées, et une considération accrue pour des pratiques artistique dites amateurs. Mais pourquoi l'action culturelle en milieu urbain fait-elle l'objet d'un tel investissement professionel, politique et militant? Comment les politiques publiques l'accompagnent? Plus précisément, comment s'opère le croisement entre politique de la ville et culture? Tel est l'objet du présent ouvrage qui propose d'interroger les frottements, tensions et hybridations qui naissent de cette rencontre.
