Summary:
This volume presents a cross-section of state-of-the-art scholarship in critical global suburban research and provides an in-depth study of the planet’s urban peripheries to grasp the forms of urbanization in the twenty-first century. Based on cutting-edge conceptual thought and steeped in richly detailed empirical work conducted over the past decade, The book draws on research from Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe, and the Americas to showcase comprehensive global scholarship on the urban periphery. Contributors explicitly reject the traditional centre-periphery dichotomy and the prioritization of epistemologies that favour the Global North, especially North American cases, over other experiences. In doing so, the book strongly advances the notion of a post-suburban reality in which traditional dynamics of urban extension outward from the centre are replaced by a set of complex contradictory developments. The title examines multiple centralities and diverse peripheries which mesh to produce a surprisingly contradictory and diverse metropolitan landscape.

Summary:
In the mid-nineteenth century, Napoleon III and his prefect, Georges-Eugène Haussmann, adapted Paris to the requirements of industrial capitalism, endowing the old city with elegant boulevards, an enhanced water supply, modern sewers, and public greenery. Esther da Costa Meyer provides a major reassessment of this ambitious project, which resulted in widespread destruction in the historic center, displacing thousands of poor residents and polarizing the urban fabric. Drawing on newspapers, memoirs, and other archival materials, da Costa Meyer explores how people from different social strata?both women and men?experienced the urban reforms implemented by the Second Empire. As hundreds of tenements were destroyed to make way for upscale apartment buildings, thousands of impoverished residents were forced to the periphery, which lacked the services enjoyed by wealthier parts of the city. Challenging the idea of Paris as the capital of modernity, da Costa Meyer shows how the city was the hub of a sprawling colonial empire extending from the Caribbean to Asia, and exposes the underlying violence that enriched it at the expense of overseas territories. This book brings to light the contributions of those who actually built and maintained the impressive infrastructure of Paris, and reveals the consequences of colonial practices for the city's cultural, economic, and political life.

Summary:
The exorbitant costs of urban housing and the widening gap in income inequality are fueling a combative new movement in cities around the world. A growing number of influential activists aren’t waiting for new public housing to be built. Instead, they’re calling for more construction and denser cities in order to increase affordability. This book offers an in-depth look at the “Yes in My Backyard” (YIMBY) movement. From its origins in San Francisco to its current cadre of activists pushing for new apartment towers in places like Boulder, Austin, and London, Max Holleran explores how urban density, once maligned for its association with overpopulated slums, has become a rallying cry for millennial activists locked out of housing markets and unable to pay high rents.

Pour relever ce défi de voir et de décoder la ville de 2021, il fallait un urbaniste à la culture large, car la ville n’est plus l’apanage de quelques spécialistes dont on cumulerait les compétences pour parvenir à une correcte prise en compte de celle-ci. La ville s’est diluée dans l’espace et dans le temps. D’où la nécessité de décloisonner et de croiser les compétences. Jean-Yves Chapuis a lu, beaucoup, a parcouru les villes, a échangé avec leurs habitants, a mis en pratique des projets avec les élus et les experts en prenant bien conscience que, souvent, les espaces politiques et administratifs qui sont censés penser et gérer la ville ne sont pas adaptés aux espaces signifiants pour les citoyens. En un mot il n’y aura de projet urbain que si celui-ci est porté, informé et structuré par un projet humain. L’humanité profonde qui est celle de Jean-Yves Chapuis lui permet de tracer les chemins de la ville de demain.

Summary:
Ce livre soutient que les milieux urbains et leurs cultures remettent en question la signification et les contours mêmes du processus politique. Grâce à des ethnographies avec des jeunes racisés, des agricultrices et agriculteurs urbains, des « preneurs de risques volontaires », des skateurs, des manifestantes et manifestants étudiants, entre autres, l’ouvrage théorise l’esthétique comme une forme d’action politique de plus en plus cruciale dans la vie urbaine contemporaine. Cet ouvrage interdisciplinaire, qui réunit des aspects de la philosophie, de la géographie critique, de la sociologie politique, de l’anthropologie urbaine, des études urbaines et des études culturelles, examine la centralité du plaisir, de la chaleur, de l’esthétique et du ressenti corporel dans l’expérience que ces jeunes ont du monde. L’esthétique explique comment les jeunes peuvent avoir une influence concrète sur le processus politique en adoptant des comportements perturbateurs. Passant d’une histoire contemporaine de la ville de Montréal depuis 1960 à une description ethnographique des réalités de la jeunesse urbaine dans cette ville aujourd’hui, le livre offre un regard différent sur la vie politique.

Summary:
This publication explores the ways in which the development of the built environment has contributed to health and well-being problems and how the physical design of the places we live in may support, or constrain, healthy lifestyle choices. It sets out how understanding these relationships more fully may lead to policy and practice that reduces health inequalities, increases well-being and allows people to live more flourishing, fulfilling lives. It examines the consequences of ‘car orientated’ design, the ‘toxic’ High Street, and poor quality, cramped housing; and the importance of nature in cities, and of initiatives such as community gardening, healthy food programmes and Park Run. It questions whether Heritage is always conducive to well-being and offers lessons from holistic and innovative programmes from the UK, North America and Australia which have successfully improved community and individual health and well-being.

Summary:
Our time is an urban age. More people live in cities than ever before, cities are growing larger and denser than ever, and urbanity has reached unprecedented levels of complexity. This boom in urbanization began in earnest around the turn of the twentieth century when technological advancement and the extraction of seemingly endless supplies of natural resources propelled urban development. As urban populations steadily increased, architects and planners were not only faced with designing housing and public space but also with responding to emerging societal challenges such as political tensions, reconstruction, decolonization, economic crises, growing climatic concerns, and cultural shifts. Through the analysis of more than one hundred richly illustrated urban design projects and initiatives, this book provides a comprehensive history of how these challenges have fomented new attitudes and approaches in the discipline of urban design.
