Résumé:
The last decade has seen the rise of urban design which has taken a central position in the new agendas for urban regeneration and renaissance. Urban design has moved from marginality to mainstream. The principles espoused by urban designers over the past 30 years are now accepted as key to a better urban environment and as we move towards greater sustainability, different ideas are emerging that are challenging some of the accepted urban design norms; urban design is at a watershed. Essays from an international cast of authors review progress and explore emerging ideas: should urban design reflect the future rather than recreate the past? What are the new driving forces that will shape urban living and hence urban design in the future? This book explores new concepts and points the way towards a series of urban design paradigms for the twenty-first century.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
Showing how "New Urbanism" is simply American urbanism as it has been evolving since the nineteenth century, this is a history not of what has been achieved but rather of what planners have sought to achieve--a history of the quest for good cities. 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.

Résumé:
During the last decade, research on global cities has exploded throughout the social sciences. It has now become one of the most exciting, if controversial approaches to the study of urban life today. 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.

Résumé:
Victor Gruen became renowned in 1950s America as the "pioneer of the shopping center", then by his urban redevelopment projects as the "savior of the downtowns", and by the mid-1960s as the "architect of the environment". "From Urban Shop to New City" focuses on Gruen's theories and projects, especially with respect to the terms that he set for himself : the return of the city centre and urban public space as a focus of social and cultural life. The context for his vision, however, was the "triumph" of the suburbs and the collapses of American downtown. Gruen's successes and failures engaged or prefigured every important commercial retail, development, and planning trend since World War II ; thus his work is a crucial vehicule for understanding the transformation of American city-scape and landscape, and is a starting point for asking the question : what kind of city do we want?

Résumé:
Les architectes Roland Castro et Sophie Denissof donnent le sens de « remodelage » une refonte architecturale et urbaine complète en vue d'une métamorphose durable ainsi que de redonner un sens aux cité improprement nommées. L'ambition affichée est de prendre, chaque fois que possible, le contre-pied des options radicales et traumatisantes que sont les destructions. Plutôt qu'« éradiquer », ils entendent recomposer, restructurer, recoudre... Ce livre reflète une pratique professionnelle et n'en propose pas une théorie mais constitue, au travers de la présentation détaillée d'exemples, une sorte de manuel pour intervenir afin de reconstruire du lien social. Il constitue ainsi une prise de position apportant un éclairage singulier sur une des versions possibles de la requalification urbaine.

Résumé:
Avec la mondialisation, nous voilà projetés dans l'" après-ville ", dans le " post-urbain ". En Europe, nous étions habitués à voir la ville comme un espace circonscrit dans lequel se déroule une vie culturelle, sociale et politique rendant possible une intégration civique des individus... Nous voici maintenant confrontés d'un côté à des métropoles gigantesques et sans limites, et de l'autre au surgissement d'entités globales, en réseau, coupées de leur environnement. La reconfiguration en cours suscite l'inquiétude : allons-nous assister au déclin irrémédiable des valeurs urbaines qui ont accompagné l'histoire européenne ? La fragmentation et l'étalement chaotique vont-ils inéluctablement l'emporter ? Sommes-nous condamnés à regretter la palis grecque, la ville de la Renaissance, le Paris des Lumières, les grandes villes industrielles du XIX° siècle ? En rappelant les éléments distinctifs qui composent l'expérience urbaine, Olivier Mongin pose les fondements d'urne réflexion d'aujourd'hui sur la condition urbaine. Nous vivons à une époque où l'information s'échange immatériellement selon des flux plutôt que dans des lieux : comment, dans ces conditions, refonder des lieux urbains accordés à notre temps ?
