Today the lawn is one of America's leading "crops," outstripping cotton in acres by a factor of two.

Summary:
The rise of the perfect lawn represents one of the most profound transformations in the history of the American landscape. Today the lawn is one of America's leading "crops," outstripping cotton in acres by a factor of two. "American green", Ted Steinberg's exposé of this phenomenon, traces the history of the lawn from its explosion in the postwar suburban community of Levittown—just miles from where Steinberg grew up—to the present love affair with turf colorants, leaf blowers, and riding mowers. For half a century, Americans have been on a quest for the greenest, weed-free, ultra-trim turf imaginable. But perfection has its costs. Blending muckraking journalism and social history, Steinberg looks at both the lighter and the darker side of the all-American landscape, from mower accidents and pesticide poisonings to lawnmower racing and the man so addicted to perfection that he re-created Augusta's 12th hole in his backyard.

L’originalité même de cet ouvrage précis, documenté, neuf dans le champ de la critique architecturale, tient en sa capacité à démontrer que le lieu – c’est-à-dire l’espace singulier – a été travaillé et transformé par l’architecture à travers l’histoire, les cultures et les styles de toutes les époques, de tous les pays. Le lieu qui n’est jamais neutre permet, et mieux encore favorise, promeut un projet d’espace qui trouve dans l’architecture une résolution stable à travers la production et la cristallisation d’une forme lorsque celle-ci s’associe sur la durée à ses environnements naturel et social. « Le lieu est un espace inscrit, qualifié, valorisé. » Au moment où les villes historiques semblent vouées à disparaître dans des agglomérations qui ne sont plus des lieux parce qu’y vivre ensemble devient impossible, ces dernières « expriment » l’absence du projet par lequel elles se sont extraites du vide, se sont développées et se sont étendues sur un vaste territoire par la puissance (symbolique, imaginaire…) issue de la volonté d’édifier. Loin de ressasser un passé désormais révolu, défait par les coups de boutoir d’une modernité aujourd’hui dévastatrice, les auteurs ont pointé la radicalité du phénomène de destruction du projet de la ville en tant que lieu propre de l’édifier. Grâce à une recherche féconde menée depuis plusieurs années, à une grande érudition, et à un savoir puisant ses exemples dans le patrimoine architectural mondial, ils nous invitent à considérer l’édifier comme une dimension essentielle de notre existence.

Summary:
In "Jane Jacobs : urban visionary", journalist Alice Sparberg Alexiou deconstructs Jane Jacobs’ richly packed life of ideas and social action, offering a fluid and engaging synthesis of meticulously researched observation and analysis. Alexiou traces Jacobs’ move from Scranton, Pennsylvania, to New York City and the controversy that erupted when she dared to take on conventional urban planning wisdom with her classic "Death and life". She protested then-current urban renewal practices and championed the "sidewalk ballet" — the fragile meeting of buildings, streets and people — threatened by the building of highways and the tearing down of working neighbourhoods. Jacobs moved to Canada in the late 1960s and embarke on Toronto-saving campaigns, helping to preserve Old City Hall and Union Station. She was also instrumental in preventing the construction of the Spadina Expressway, which would have cut a swath through Toronto’s Annex and other essential neighbourhoods.

Rethinking urban parks : public space and cultural diversity

(available to order)
Summary:
Urban parks such as New York City's Central park provide vital public spaces where city dwellers of all races and classes can mingle safely while enjoying a variety of recreations. By coming together in these relaxed settings, different groups become comfortable with each other, thereby strengthening their communities and the democratic fabric of society. But just the opposite happens when, by design or in ignorance, parks are made inhospitable to certain groups of people. This pathfinding book argues that cultural diversity should be a key goal in designing and maintaining urban parks. Using case studies of New York City's Prospect park, Orchard beach in Pelham Bay park, and Jacob Riis park in the Gateway national recreation area, as well as New York's Ellis Island bridge proposal and Philadelphia's Independence national historical park, the authors identify specific ways to promote, maintain, and manage cultural diversity in urban parks. They also uncover the factors that can limit park use, including historical interpretive materials that ignore the contributions of different ethnic groups, high entrance or access fees, park usage rules that restrict ethnic activities, and park "restorations" that focus only on historical or aesthetic values. With the wealth of data in this book, urban planners, park professionals, and all concerned citizens will have the tools to create and maintain public parks that serve the needs and interests of all the public.

Through a detailed and innovative re-assessment of the work of three architects who sought to represent a utopian content in their work and a consideration of the thoughts of a range of leading writers, Coleman offers the reader a perspective of idealism in architectural design. With unparalleled depth and focus of vision on the work of Le Corbusier, Louis I Kahn and Aldo Van Eyck, this book persuasively challenges predominant assumptions in current architectural discourse, forging a new approach to the invention of welcoming built environments and transcending the limitations of both the postmodern and hyper-modern stance and orthodox modernist architecture.

In her survey of the last hundred or so years of urbanist ideals, the author identifies four approaches to city-making, which she terms "cultures": incrementalism, plan-making, planned communities, and regionalism. She shows how these cultures connect, overlap, and conflict one with another and how most of the ideas about building better settlements are so recurrent. She concludes with an assessment of the successes and failures of the four cultures and the need to integrate these ideas as a means to promoting good urbanism in America.

Fifty generous selections, including contributions from John Friedmann, Michael Peter Smith, Saskia Sassen, Peter Taylor, Manuel Castells, and Anthony King, explore the interrelationships between cities and globalization. The seven sections with accompanying editorial introductions guide the student through the key theoretical, methodological, and empirical debates. "The global cities reader" explores the major foundations and intellectual influences of research on globalized urbanization. Classic and contemporary case studies of globalizing cities from Europe, North America and East Asia as well as from emerging world city regions of the global South are presented. The political and cultural dimensions of global city formation are examined in separate sections. The reader concludes by examining the refinement and critique of global cities research in the last fifteen years.
