Summary:
Dans un contexte global marqué par le réchauffement climatique et les problématiques environnementales, le Grand Prix de l'urbanisme 2018 a été décerné à un collectif de paysagistes dont les projets mettent, invariablement, la nature au centre : l'Agence TER. Travaillant en amont des projets d'urbanisme, leurs interventions, connues dans plusieurs parties du monde pour s'inscrire dans le temps long, ont toutes en commun de participer à la conception d'un « urbanisme des milieux vivants ». Pour Henri Bava, Michel Hôssler et Olivier Philippe, les trois fondateurs de TER désormais à la tête d'une soixantaine de professionnels, le processus inéluctable de métropolisation doit s'accompagner d'une action paysagère et architecturale vertueuse, respectueuse, en chaque lieu, des héritages, des hommes et de la nature qui les entoure.

Summary:
In 1985, in his role as chief government architect in the Netherlands, Tjeerd Dijkstra wrote a note on the concept of architectural quality and the criteria that, in his opinion, could be applied when assessing building plans. Some thirty years have elapsed and there is still a need for clarity about the concept of architectural quality. Here, Tjeerd Dijkstra describes which concepts play an important part in the definition of architectural quality. After a reflection on these concepts, he enters into the procedures of monitoring and assessment. The proposed criteria and procedures are usable as a theoretical background for all those who are concerned with architectural quality, not only in governmental institutions, but for private clients and interested citizens as well.

Summary:
Today's suburbs are racially, ethnically, and economically diverse, with as many Democratic as Republican voters, a growing population of renters, and rising poverty. The cliche of white picket fences is well past its expiration date. The history of suburbia is equally surprising: American suburbs were once fertile ground for utopian planning, communal living, socially-conscious design, and integrated housing. We have forgotten that we built suburbs like these, such as the co-housing commune of Old Economy, Pennsylvania; a tiny-house anarchist community in Piscataway, New Jersey; a government-planned garden city in Greenbelt, Maryland; a racially integrated subdivision (before the Fair Housing Act) in Trevose, Pennsylvania; experimental Modernist enclaves in Lexington, Massachusetts; and the mixed-use, architecturally daring Reston, Virginia.

Summary:
In ''Direct Deliberative Democracy,'' Jack Crittenden and Debra Campbell offer up a better way for government to reflect citizens' interests. It begins with a startlingly basic question: ''Why don’t we the people govern?'' In this provocative book, the authors mount a powerful case that the time has come for more direct democracy in the United States, showing that the circumstances that made the Constitutional framers' arguments so convincing more than two hundred years ago have changed dramatically—and that our democracy needs to change with them. With money, lobbyists, and corporations now dominating local, state, and national elections, the authors argue that now is the time for citizens to take control of their government by deliberating together to make public policies and laws directly.
