Résumé:
La ville suburbaine est l'utopie réalisée de la prospérité. Elle est l'expansion sans fin du confort à la campagne qui a transformé la planète en réseau de parcs. C'est la ville vernaculaire du XXe siècle. Pour comprendre la fabrication de cette grande installation planétaire, Emeric Lambert dresse un portrait chinois du projet suburbain. Il reconstruit une histoire décentrée de la ville. En suivant l'épopée de la constitution de la ville de Sénart, il montre comment l'urbanisme planifié hérité de la modernité a cédé la place à l'opportunisme opérationnel. Il construit ainsi la théorie informulée du suburbanisme qui a oeuvré au développement d'une ville informe et pourtant très efficace. Plus qu'une vision d'urbaniste, c'est un phénomène culturel, dont les ramifications s'étendent à la technologique, à l'art et à la politique, qui est exposé ici avec pragmatisme. Cette enquête suburbaine s'adresse à tous ceux qui s'intéressent à la fabrication de notre environnement et aux controverses démocratiques qu'elle soulève.

Résumé:
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.

Carolyn Whitzman tracks Parkdale's story across three eras: its early decades as a politically independent suburb of the industrial city; its half-century of ostensible decline toward becoming a slum; and a post-industrial period of transformation into a revitalized urban village.

What are the suburbs? The popular vision of monotonous streets curving into culs-de-sac and emerald lawns unfurling from nearly identical houses would have us believe that suburbia is a boring, homogeneous, and alienating place. But this stereotypical portrayal of the suburbs tells us very little about the lives of the people who actually live there. Making Suburbia (...)

But this stereotypical portrayal of the suburbs tells us very little about the lives of the people who actually live there. Making Suburbia offers a diverse collection of essays that examine how the history and landscape of the American suburb is constructed through the everyday actions and experiences of its inhabitants.

Résumé:
In the years after World War II, a distinctly American model for suburban development emerged. The expansive rings of outer suburbs that formed around major cities were decentralized and automobile oriented, an embodiment of America’s postwar mass-production, mass-consumption economy. But alternate models for suburbia, including “transit-oriented development,” “smart growth,” and “New Urbanism,” have inspired critiques of suburbanization and experiments in post-suburban ways of living. In Sequel to Suburbia, Nicholas Phelps considers the possible post-suburban future, offering historical and theoretical context as well as case studies of transforming communities.

Résumé:
By the end of the twentieth century, America's suburbs contained more office space than its central cities. Many of these corporate workplaces were surrounded, somewhat incongruously, by verdant vistas of broad lawns and leafy trees. In Pastoral Capitalism, Louise Mozingo describes the evolution of these central (but often ignored) features of postwar urbanism in the context of the modern capitalist enterprise. These new suburban corporate landscapes emerged from a historical moment when corporations reconceived their management structures, the city decentralized and dispersed into low-density, auto-dependent peripheries, and the pastoral--in the form of leafy residential suburbs--triumphed as an American ideal.
