Summary:
Les urbatopies sont des villes qui, comme Barcelone, Bilbao, Copenhague, Hambourg, Lyon, Nantes ou Vancouver, sont en train d'inventer l'urbanisme du XXIe siècle. On y travaille, on y vit, on y circule autrement. Regardées et imitées par les autres, elles renforcent leurs attractivités. Au-delà des renouveaux, parfois spectaculaires, qu'ont connus ces cités, c'est à leur méthode qu'il faut s'intéresser. Car ces villes pionnières ne se sont pas contentées de fabriquer des cadres de vie agréables. Elles ont cherché à créer un mouvement, à mobiliser les énergies, à inventer d'autres rapports économiques, politiques et sociaux. Elles ont déployé des stratégies permettant à l'urbanisme de prendre en compte tous les champs de la vie en société, toutes les échelles, tous les acteurs. Mais que signifie la notion de stratégie appliquée à ces politiques urbaines ? Quels en sont les principes ? Quels sont les résultats ? Comment peut-elle nous aider à relever les défis du XXIe siècle ? Telles sont les questions qu'aborde cet ouvrage. Il s'adresse à tous ceux qui cherchent des repères pour peser sur le destin de leur cité.

Summary:
The earliest libraries belonged to temples and administrative bodies, resembled our modern archives, and were usually restricted to the aristocracy, nobility, theologians, and for the use of scholars. Dispersed along the shelves of the British Library today are many volumes that once stood side by side in private libraries. This collection of essays explores some of the most important printed collections which have been brought together within the British Museum Library since its foundation in 1753, casting new light on the individuals whose personal interests and taste they reflect. Ranging from the library of Henry VIII to Sir Joseph Banks, and from Sir Hans Sloane to George III, this volume also acts as a handbook to provenance within the British Library collections, providing guidance on the interpretation of marks of ownership, stamps, shelfmarks and other forms of evidence to be found in particular copies.

Benjamin Franklin secretly loved London more than Philadelphia: it was simply the most exciting place to be in the British Empire. And in the decade before the outbreak of the American Revolution, thousands of his fellow colonists flocked to the Georgian city in its first big wave of American visitors.

Summary:
Benjamin Franklin secretly loved London more than Philadelphia: it was simply the most exciting place to be in the British Empire. And in the decade before the outbreak of the American Revolution, thousands of his fellow colonists flocked to the Georgian city in its first big wave of American visitors. At the very point of political rupture, mother country and colonies were socially and culturally closer than ever before. In this first-ever portrait of eighteenth-century London as the capital of America, Julie Flavell recreates the famous city's heyday as the centre of an empire that encompassed North America and the West Indies. The momentous years before independence saw more colonial Americans than ever on London's streets: wealthy Southern plantation owners in quest of culture, slaves hoping for a chance of freedom, Yankee businessmen looking for opportunities in the city, even Ben Franklin seeking a second, more distinguished career. The stories of the colonials, no innocents abroad, vividly recreate a time when Americans saw London as their own and remind us of the complex, multiracial - at times even decadent - nature of America's colonial British heritage.

Summary:
Following a detailed history, Christopher M. Davidson presents an in-depth study of Dubai's post-oil development strategies and their implementation during a period of near-complete political stability. Davidson addresses the probability of future problems as the need for sustained foreign direct investment encourages far-reaching socioeconomic reforms, many of which may affect the ideological, religious, and cultural legitimacy of the traditional monarchy. He also analyzes Dubai's awkward relationship with its federal partners in the United Arab Emirates and highlights some of the pitfalls of being the region's most successful free port-its attractiveness to international criminal fraternities, the economy of the global black market, and terrorist networks.
