Summary:
Parmi les stigmatisations formulées par l'Internationale situationniste, l'urbanisme occupe une place spécifique en tant que forme spatiale de domination de la marchandise ou comme décor naturel du capitalisme. Ses diatribes et attaques constituent une véritable déclaration de guerre contre l'idéologie dominante du fonctionnalisme et du modernisme, entendue comme voie(...)

Ses diatribes et attaques constituent une véritable déclaration de guerre contre l'idéologie dominante du fonctionnalisme et du modernisme, entendue comme voie royale du progrès économique et social. Nulle part mieux que dans les transformations de l'art de bâtir, la prégnance de cette nouvelle doxa n'est manifeste. En dépit de quelques travestissements culturels, l'architecture renoue avec sa fonction politique d'inscrire la division de la société dans l'espace, imposant à chaque classe sociale sa place.

Summary:
En vingt ans, le métro s’est transformé au rythme de Paris et du monde. Qui sont au juste mes contemporains ou plutôt de qui puis-je me dire contemporain ? Pour répondre à cette question, j’invite mes lecteurs à me rejoindre dans le métro, à se perdre dans la foule anonyme de tous ceux que j’y côtoie quotidiennement. Peut-être nous y frôlerons nous sans le savoir.

Pour Jean Viard, l'initiation populaire et inégalitaire aux temps libres et son corollaire, la mobilité de masse, ont modifié, bien au-delà de ces faits quantifiables, les façons de vivre. Pour lui, les gestes, les lieux, les normes et les valeurs construites pour occuper les temps libres sont en train de devenir les bases de la culture collective, bousculant les liens(...)

Summary:
Pour Jean Viard, l'initiation populaire et inégalitaire aux temps libres et son corollaire, la mobilité de masse, ont modifié, bien au-delà de ces faits quantifiables, les façons de vivre. Pour lui, les gestes, les lieux, les normes et les valeurs construites pour occuper les temps libres sont en train de devenir les bases de la culture collective, bousculant les liens sociaux et politiques, remettant en cause la place centrale du travail, favorisant l’étalement urbain. Il s’agit d’une culture individuelle et mobile où chacun joue sans cesse avec l’absence et l’abstention : zapping, divorce, déménagement, voyage, portable, internet… forment un tout, avec une privatisation des liens sociaux, des exclusions féroces, une crise du collectif et, malgré tout, certaines solidarités ainsi que d’extraordinaires libertés quand on accède au droit de choisir ses mobilités.

Summary:
A city’s infrastructure—its tangle of streets, tunnels, routes and lines—can be much more than a mere functional necessity or an ad hoc constellation. Designed and constructed carefully and purposefully, "infratecture" can add significant sociological, cultural, ecological and economic value to a city. In this volume, Rotterdam-based traffic engineer, academic and(...)

Summary:
A city’s infrastructure—its tangle of streets, tunnels, routes and lines—can be much more than a mere functional necessity or an ad hoc constellation. Designed and constructed carefully and purposefully, "infratecture" can add significant sociological, cultural, ecological and economic value to a city. In this volume, Rotterdam-based traffic engineer, academic and architect Marc Verheijen discusses the infrastructure of cities from 15 different perspectives and features 30 examples of international best practices in infrastructure design. A practically oriented book about designing and building everything from roads and viaducts to environmental habitats and noise barriers, Infratecture is also an argument for these integrated design solutions, all the more urgent at a moment of accelerated global urbanization. Infratecture argues that, with the right mind set, genuine cooperation and sophisticated design, infrastructure can form a significant, and positive, part of the everyday environment.

Summary:
Economic strengthening and the developments associated with it, such as population growth, rural flight, and the explosive growth of cities, pose enormous challenges for city planners in urban centers throughout the world. But clumsy "test-tube" urban plans like those developed for China in part by German planners have shown that different standards and rules apply in the non-European world than in Europe s organically developed urban structures. This manual analyzes contemporary urban phenomena in economic growth regions using the Ethiopian capital city of Addis Abeba as an example, and presents a catalogue of sustainable strategies for city planning practice in the Second and Third Worlds. In the process, it provides planners with generally applicable methods and tools that are usable at the design stage and equip them to develop and deploy dynamic planning and project management processes. To this end, it illuminates such topical subjects as the changing agrarian and industrial landscape, the activation of urban wastelands, and the increasing density of urban hubs. In addition, it uses real projects as examples to highlight avenues for practical implementation.
