Summary:
Coauthored by cultural geographer Tim Cresswell and art historian John Ott, this book reexamines the motion studies as historical forms of “mobility,” in which specific forms of motion are given extraordinary significance and accrued value. Through an interdisciplinary exchange, the authors explore how mobility is contextualized within the transformations of movement that marked the nineteenth century and how mobility represents the possibilities of social movement for African Americans. Together, these complementary essays look to Eadweard Muybridge’s works as interventions in knowledge and experience and as opportunities to investigate larger social ramifications and possibilities.

Summary:
In Beyond the Metropolis, Louise Young looks at the emergence of urbanism in the interwar period, a global moment when the material and ideological structures that constitute “the city” took their characteristic modern shape. In Japan, as elsewhere, cities became the staging ground for wide ranging social, cultural, economic, and political transformations. The rise of social problems, the formation of a consumer marketplace, the proliferation of streetcars and streetcar suburbs, and the cascade of investments in urban development reinvented the city as both socio-spatial form and set of ideas.

Summary:
La Seine Saint-Denis est un territoire social et politique singulier, un territoire médiatisé et stigmatisé – le ''9.3'' – qui a connu aux cours des quatre dernières décennies de profondes mutations. La Seine-Saint-Denis reste emblématique des banlieues populaires, de leur histoire et de leurs transformations. Alors que certains observateurs défendent que les enjeux d’intégration et de cohésion, sociales et urbaines auraient quitté la banlieue pour se déplacer vers les grandes périphéries des métropoles, cet ouvrage a pour ambition de rappeler et de démontrer que les banlieues populaires ont constitué et constituent encore aujourd’hui un fait social majeur de notre époque.

Summary:
Ces dernières décennies ont été marquées par de profondes évolutions dans les modes de vie et l'organisation spatiale de la population qui appellent à des innovations en termes de production du logement et de l'environnement construit (coopératives, projet urbain, participation) et dans l'élaboration des formes urbaines (créations architecturales, mixité des fonctions, réinvention des espaces publics). Pour saisir les défis de ces mutations, cet ouvrage collectif propose un panorama complet des enjeux actuels de l'habitat en Suisse. En croisant le regard de diverses disciplines (sociologie, sciences politiques, géographie, architecture, urbanisme), il met à jour les mécanismes qui lient les transformations de la société, la production et l'organisation des lieux où l'on vit. L'ouvrage offre en particulier une description de ces enjeux en termes de mobilité, de "vivre ensemble", ainsi que les réponses architecturales et institutionnelles qui y font écho. Il pose enfin un ensemble de questions plus générales sur le devenir des politiques territoriales et sociales.

Summary:
This two-volume catalogue of the "10th International Architecture Exhibition" presents an anthology of ideas centered around this year's theme: the meta-city. The changes in the physical and social structure of today's city have resulted in a new kind of civilian agglomeration that extends beyond the traditional form, concept, and boundaries of the city, causing profound transformations in the composition of its population and working habits. The International Exhibition, curated by Richard Burdett, will focus on the transformations of cities around the world, featuring New York, London, Berlin, Moscow, Tokyo, Shanghai, Mumbai, Mexico City, São Paulo Beirut, Istanbul, Johannesburg, and Lagos. Additionally, the biennale will propound a manifesto for rational development of cities in the 21st century. This book will be the definitive catalogue of what is perhaps the most important architecture exhibition in the world.
