Résumé:
À travers la loi n° 2015-992 du 17 août 2015 relative à la transition énergétique pour la croissance verte, de nombreux secteurs, et notamment celui du bâtiment, doivent désormais contribuer à l’effort de sobriété et d’efficacité énergétique. Le domaine de la construction représente à lui seul 40 % des consommations d’énergie finale et près de 25 % des émissions de gaz à effet de serre de notre territoire. L’un des défis majeurs de la filière consiste ainsi à renforcer la performance énergétique dans le neuf et la réhabilitation. Richement illustré, cet ouvrage permet de découvrir, analyser et comprendre vingt-huit opérations – maisons, bâtiments, complexes immobiliers, éco-quartiers… – parmi les plus exemplaires en matière de développement soutenable. Reparties en huit chapitres qui représentent autant d’enjeux auxquels devront répondre les stratégies immobilières et territoriales de demain, ces réalisations sont décrites selon une approche tout à la fois socio-économique, architecturale et technique.

Résumé:
Fort McMurray, dans le nord de l’Alberta, est une ville-champignon au milieu d’un enfer écologique, où des travailleurs affluent de partout, attirés par les promesses de boom économique. L’or qu’ils convoitent : les gisements de sables bitumineux, le pétrole le plus sale qui existe, paroxysme du délire extractiviste. "Brut" réunit les voix de celles et ceux qui ont vu de près cette catastrophe : Melina Laboucan-Massimo, militante amérindienne, décrit la terre où elle est née et le jour où le pétrole s’y est répandu ; David Dufresne brosse le portrait des personnages de ce nouveau Klondike; Nancy Huston raconte un effrayant séjour dans son Alberta natale, puis discute avec Naomi Klein de la misère culturelle liée à ce ravage écologique. En guise de coda littéraire, une nouvelle prémonitoire du romancier canadien Rudy Wiebe, inscrit Fort Mac dans l’atlas des lieux du désastre.

Résumé:
The social and material production of urban nature has recently emerged as an important area in urban studies, human/environmental interactions and social studies. This has been prompted by the recognition that the material conditions that comprise urban environments are not independent from social, political, and economic processes, or from the cultural construction of what constitutes the ‘urban’ or the ‘natural’. Through both theoretical and empirical analysis, this groundbreaking collection offers an integrated and relational approach to untangling the interconnected processes involved in forming urban landscapes. The essays in this book attest that the re-entry of the ecological agenda into urban theory is vital both in terms of understanding contemporary urbanization processes, and of engaging in a meaningful environmental politics. They debate the central themes of whose nature is, or becomes, urbanized, and the uneven power relations through which this socio-metabolic transformation takes place. Including urban case studies, international research and contributions from prominent urban scholars, this volume will enable students, scholars and researchers of geographical, environmental and urban studies to better understand how interrelated, everyday economic, political and cultural processes form and transform urban environments.

Résumé:
Examining this state of flux of both the natural environment and the living organisms that inhabit it, this book ranges from 10,000 BCE to the modern day to present an incredibly rich and deep time overview of how we have come to our current state of ecological crisis. A far-reaching approach that considers the truly global picture and recognizes the contributions of many disciplines — including the natural sciences, the social sciences, and increasingly, the humanities — this publication focuses not only on the material world but also on humans’ ideas about the planet and their place on it. Taking as his starting point the major phases of human technological evolution of the last 12,000 years, Simmons considers how these changes have affected the natural world and goes on to assess the response to conditions such as climate change. By putting today’s environmental preoccupations into a long-term perspective, Simmons reveals the history of some current anxieties.

Résumé:
Industrialization created cities of Dickensian squalor that were crowded, smoky, dirty, and disease-ridden. By the beginning of the twentieth century, urban visionaries were looking for ways to improve living and working conditions in industrial cities. In "Invented Edens", Robert Kargon and Arthur Molella trace the arc of one form of urban design, which they term the techno-city : a planned city developed in conjunction with large industrial or technological enterprises, blending the technological and the pastoral, the mill town and the garden city. Techno-cities of the twentieth century range from factory towns in Mussolini's Italy to the Disney creation of Celebration, Florida. Kargon and Molella show that the techno-city represents an experiment in integrating modern technology into the world of ideal life. Techno-cities mirror society's understanding of current technologies and, at the same time, seek to regain the lost virtues of the edenic pre-industrial village. The idea of the techno-city transcended ideologies, crossed national borders, and spanned the entire twentieth century. Kargon and Molella map the concept through a series of exemplars. These include Norris, Tennessee, home to the Tennessee Valley Authority; Torviscosa, Italy, built by Italy's Fascist government to accommodate synthetic textile manufacturing (and featured in an early short by Michelangelo Antonioni); Ciudad Guayana, Venezuela, planned by a team from MIT and Harvard; and, finally, Disney's Celebration - perhaps the ultimate techno-city, a fantasy city reflecting an era in which virtual experiences are rapidly replacing actual ones.
