Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
Arab Contemporary is the second chapter in the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art’s Architecture, Culture and Identity series, following 2012’s New Nordic, which explores architecture in specific regions. Arab Contemporary attempts to distinguish particular features of architecture that are shared by Arab countries from the Arab Peninsula through Lebanon to Morocco. While these areas are primarily connected via a common language, they further share major elements of visual culture, such as the use of calligraphy in architecture. Ranging over varied architectural works as well as visual arts, this volume showcases architecture by Ateliers Jean Nouvel, X-Architects, Henning Larsen Architects and many others, alongside artwork by Egyptian visual artist Mounir Fatmi, the Saudi artist Ahmed Mater, art historian and graphic artist Bahia Shehab and the Tuareg author Ibrahim al-Koni.

Résumé:
Les villes portuaires, véritables carrefours de la production et des échanges de biens et de services, sont en pleine phase de recomposition urbaine avec des exigences nouvelles en termes de respect des équilibres environnementaux, économiques, sociaux et culturels. Ces villes sont le lieu d'observation des tensions qui se nouent entre les contraintes économiques de la mondialisation et les attentes en matière de développement durable. Les villes portuaires au Maghreb n'échappent pas à cette double tendance. Ce travail a mobilisé une équipe interdisciplinaire, en économie, géographie, gestion et sociologie, composée d'une quinzaine de chercheurs de nationalités différentes (algérienne, française, marocaine, tunisienne). Cet ouvrage rend compte de leurs réflexions et des discussions qui se sont instaurées lors des différentes rencontres des membres de cette communauté scientifique.

En 2050, il est fort probable que l’Inde aura pris la première place économique devant la Chine et les États-Unis. Pourtant, nous comprenons mal cet immense pays. Aussi le projet de ce livre simple, clair, nourri de travail de terrain, est-il de nous y initier. L’auteure saisit cette société vivante, diversifiée, tolérante et violente. Elle évoque les croyances, la morale, les habitudes, les normes mais aussi ce qui est caché: le rôle des castes et de la famille dans la mobilité sociale et dans les relations de travail, la religiosité quotidienne, la notion de temps, la ruralité en face des mégapoles, le monde des fêtes, le rapport au corps et à la sexualité, la place des femmes dans cette société patriarcale et le regard porté sur les Occidentaux.

Résumé:
Beyond the dense urbanism of Mumbai (Bombay) or the IT centers of Bangalore and Hyderabad lies the Ganges River basin--today home to over one-quarter of India's billion-plus population--a space historically defined by a mythological constellation of terrestrial sites imbued with celestial significance. Not only is it one of the most densely populated river basins in the world, but it also undergoes dramatic physical changes with the onslaught of the wet monsoon, where over one-meter of rainfall occurs in the span of three months. This book focuses on the intersection of these two observations. It is an atlas of built and unbuilt projects designed to transform the river into a giant water machine.

A Line in the Andes a one year investigation developed at the Harvard Graduate school of design examines the transformative role of the first underground metro line currently being implemented in the city of Quito (Ecuador). Through archival material, original drawings, and text, this publication frames the metro project within the city's historic and current urban form, visualizing the urban potential of this contemporary valley-city. In doing so, the material documented in this book sets the stage for well-informed design deliberations regarding an urban future Quito deserves.
