Quel pari pour une équipe municipale issue de la société civile avec à sa tête l’atypique Manuela Carmena. À la clé, trois principes : la solidarité, qui se traduit par un changement de modèle urbain au profit de la proximité et de la régénération de l’espace public; la participation, au travers de la présence des élus dans les quartiers et de la création d’une plate-forme citoyenne participative; et enfin la créativité, en continuité avec la longue histoire des laboratoires citoyens de Madrid. Ce livre offre une lecture de l’expérience madrilène en cours, dont peuvent s’enrichir les autres villes européennes et leurs habitants.

Les territoires qui ne sont ni la ville ni la campagne, mais empruntent à l’une et à l’autre, connaissent une forte croissance démographique, sous la forme d’une ville discontinue.

Summary:
Les territoires qui ne sont ni la ville ni la campagne, mais empruntent à l’une et à l’autre, connaissent une forte croissance démographique, sous la forme d’une ville discontinue. Les campagnes urbaines dépendent tout autant des villes centres que des flux de la mondialisation et de leurs relations avec les villages, les bourgs, la ruralité, les paysages, tout ce capital de manières d’habiter qui font d’elles des lieux désirables. L’avenir de ces espaces fragiles est un défi social et paysager, économique et écologique considérable. L’ouvrage explore la manière dont les campagnes urbaines peuvent accueillir des formes nouvelles de densification ou doivent au contraire être dé-densifiées, en conciliant la pression démographique et foncière avec la préservation des sols et des paysages.

Summary:
We are living in a time of deep divisions. Americans are sorting themselves along racial, religious, and cultural lines, leading to a level of polarization that the country hasn't seen since the Civil War. Pundits and politicians are calling for us to come together, to find common purpose. But how, exactly, can this be done? In ''Palaces for the People'', Eric Klinenberg(...)

Summary:
We are living in a time of deep divisions. Americans are sorting themselves along racial, religious, and cultural lines, leading to a level of polarization that the country hasn't seen since the Civil War. Pundits and politicians are calling for us to come together, to find common purpose. But how, exactly, can this be done? In ''Palaces for the People'', Eric Klinenberg suggests a way forward. He believes that the future of democratic societies rests not simply on shared values but on shared spaces where crucial, sometimes life-saving connections, are formed. These are places where people gather and linger, making friends across group lines and strengthening the entire community. Klinenberg calls this the ''social infrastructure'': When it is strong, neighborhoods flourish; when it is neglected, as it has been in recent years, families and individuals must fend for themselves.

Summary:
Long before Occupy, cities were the subject of much utopian thinking. They are the centers of capital accumulation as well as of revolutionary politics, where deeper currents of social and political change rise to the surface. Do the financiers and developers control access to urban resources or do the people? Who dictates the quality and organization of daily life?(...)

Summary:
Long before Occupy, cities were the subject of much utopian thinking. They are the centers of capital accumulation as well as of revolutionary politics, where deeper currents of social and political change rise to the surface. Do the financiers and developers control access to urban resources or do the people? Who dictates the quality and organization of daily life? "Rebel Cities" places the city at the heart of both capital and class struggles, looking at locations ranging from Johannesburg to Mumbai, from New York City to São Paulo. Drawing on the Paris Commune as well as Occupy Wall Street and the London Riots, Harvey asks how cities might be reorganized in more socially just and ecologically sane ways—and how they can become the focus for anti-capitalist resistance.

Summary:
In ''Building and dwelling,'' Richard Sennett distils a lifetime's thinking and practical experience to explore the relationship between the good built environment and the good life. He argues for, and describes in rich detail, the idea of an open city, one in which people learn to manage complexity. He shows how the design of cities can enrich or diminish the everyday experience of those who dwell in them. The book ranges widely - from London, Paris and Barcelona to Shanghai, Mumbai and Medellin in Colombia - and draws on classic thinkers such as Tocqueville, Heidegger, Max Weber, and Walter Benjamin. It also draws on Sennett's many decades as a practical planner himself, testing what works, what doesn't, and why. He shows what works ethically is often the most practical solution for cities' problems.

Summary:
Fiscal crises have cascaded across much of the developing world with devastating results, from Mexico to Indonesia, Russia and Argentina. The extreme volatility in contemporary political economic fortunes seems to mock our best efforts to understand the forces that drive development in the world economy. David Harvey is the single most important geographer writing today and a leading social theorist of our age, offering a comprehensive critique of contemporary capitalism. In this book, he shows the way forward for just such an understanding, enlarging upon the key themes in his recent work: the development of neoliberalism, the spread of inequalities across the globe, and ‘space’ as a key theoretical concept.

Summary:
Displaying gleaming new shopping centers and refurbished row houses, Harlem today bears little resemblance to the neighborhood of the midcentury urban crisis. Brian Goldstein traces Harlem’s widely noted “Second Renaissance” to a surprising source: the radical 1960s social movements that resisted city officials and fought to give Harlemites control of their own destiny.
