Catalogue. Basle 2008/09. Introduction by Kai Vöckler. This is the first of a series of investigations of urban development in post-conflict areas, initiated by Archis Interventions. After NATO-led KFOR troops ended civil war in Kosovo (1999), an instant building boom changed the capital Prishtina dramatically. Within a few years its population doubled, partly as a consequence of an influx of returning refugees. This book describes, maps and analyzes the situation in Prishtina after 1999, documents problem-solving strategies, and discusses the significance of this kind of urban development for the way urban life evolves in crisis zones. The title hints at two phenomena: firstly, urban development of this type is typical for many post-conflict situations, and secondly, most of the construction in Prishtina has been financed by remittances from family members working abroad (one-fifth of Kosovo’s entire population lives abroad, specifically in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria).

Résumé:
Du président de la République au maire de Paris en passant par le président de la région Île-de-France, voilà trois strates du pouvoir, celui de l'État, des collectivités territoriales et de la municipalité parisienne qui, armées d'un nouveau secrétaire d'État, se portent au chevet de la capitale française pour décider de son avenir, cinquante ans après la mission Delouvrier. Mais plus que d'un nouvel Haussmann autoritaire, plus que d'effets d'annonce, de luttes politiciennes ou de mirifiques et prestigieux projets, le Grand-Paris a besoin de se forger une identité et un destin communs. Pour servir cette ambition, il convient d'expliquer et d'analyser les aspects de cette métropole, c'est précisément la tâche à laquelle ce livre s'assigne. Il traite de la forme de la ville en essayant de fournir des outils comme des repères pour décrire l'agglomération parisienne et imaginer son avenir au XXIe siècle au sein des grandes métropoles mondiales. Le débat sur Paris et son agglomération est essentiel : quelle ville et pour qui ? Par quelles modalités associer les citoyens aux décisions qui les concernent ? Comment faire participer les acteurs économiques aux stratégies d'aménagement qui fixent le cadre du développement ? Cette discussion se nourrit des espoirs, des inquiétudes et des prises de conscience, certaines récentes, sur l'environnement et la préservation des ressources, sur la densité et l'économie des sols, sur les modes de transport et le développement économique, sur le logement et l'emploi. Philippe Panerai est architecte et urbaniste. Son activité professionnelle, façonnée par la pratique de l'enseignement et de la recherche, se déploie selon trois grands champs : le grand territoire, la forme de la ville et l'intégration des grandes infrastructures, les mutations du tissu urbain, notamment celles des grands ensembles de logements sociaux.

"Cities Design and Evolution" takes up the challenge of this question, investigating 'how cities are put together', both in the sense of how the parts are organised in relation to the whole, and how they are created or evolve over time."Cities Design and Evolution" offers an engaging and original narrative that interprets planning philosophies from Modernism to New Urbanism, organic theories from Patrick Geddes to Le Corbusier, and evolutionary thinking from Charles Darwin to Richard Dawkins. The book develops a new evolutionary perspective that recognises both the 'designed' and 'organic' nature of cities, and provides a rationale and impetus for fresh approaches to urban planning and design. In what is the first book to significantly apply modern evolutionary thinking to urbanism, "Cities Design and Evolution" promises to stimulate thought, debate and action concerning the nature of cities and future urban planning. The book should appeal to all who are interested in cities, in design and in evolution.

Résumé:
Questioning the traditional boundaries between cities, suburbs, countryside and wilderness, this issue of AD explores emergent types of public space in low-density environments. It describes this new form of urbanism: decentralised, in a constant process of expansion and contraction, not homogenous or necessarily low-rise, nor guided by one mode of development, typology or pattern. While functionally and programmatically dispersed, settlements operate as a form of urbanism; the place of collective spaces within them has yet to be defined and articulated. The physical transformation of the built environment on the one hand, and the change in our notion of the public on the other - due to globalisation, privatisation and segregation - call for renewed interpretations of the nature and character of public space. The concept of public space needs to be examined: replaced, re-created or adapted to fit these conditions. What is the place of the public in this form of urbanism, and how can architecture address the notion of common, collective spaces? What is the current sociopolitical role o such spaces? How does the form and use of these spaces reflect the conception of the public as a political (or non-political) body? And can architecture regain an active role in formulating the notion of the collective? These and other issues are addressed through essays, research projects and built work by distinguished writers such as Bruce Robbins, Albert Pope and Alex Wall, and Practitioners including Zvi Hecker, Vito Acconci, MUTOPIA, Manuel de Sola-Morales, Martha Rosler and Manuel Vicente in a search for new collective architectures within the dispersed city.

Résumé:
Utopia tends to generate a bad press - regarded as impracticable, perhaps nostalgic, or contradictory when visions of a perfect world cannot accommodate the change that is necessary to a free and self-organizing society. But people from diverse backgrounds are currently building a new society within the old, balancing literal and metaphorical utopianism, and demonstrating plural possibilities for alternative futures and types of settlement. Thousands of such places exist around the world, including intentional communities, eco-villages, permaculture plots, religious and secular retreats, co-housing projects, self-build schemes, projects for low-impact housing, and activist squats in urban and rural sites. This experience suggests, however, that when planning and design are not integral to alternative social formations, the modern dream to engineer a new society cannot be realized. The book is structured in four parts. In part one, literary and theoretical utopias from the early modern period to the nineteenth-century are reconsidered. Part two investigates twentieth-century urban utopianism and contemporary alternative settlements focusing on social and environmental issues, activism and eco-village living. Part three looks to wider horizons in recent practices in the non-affluent world, and Part four reviews a range of cases from the author’s visits to specific sites. This is followed by a short conclusion in which a discussion of key issues is resumed. This book brings together insights from literary, theoretical and practical utopias, drawing out the characteristics of groups and places that are part of a new society. It links today’s utopian experiments to historical and literary utopias, and to theoretical problems in utopian thought.

Résumé:
Written by the chair of the LEED-Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) initiative, Sustainable Urbanism: Urban Design with Nature is both an urgent call to action and a comprehensive introduction to "sustainable urbanism"--the emerging and growing design reform movement that combines the creation and enhancement of walkable and diverse places with the need to build high-performance infrastructure and buildings. Providing a historic perspective on the standards and regulations that got us to where we are today in terms of urban lifestyle and attempts at reform, Douglas Farr makes a powerful case for sustainable urbanism, showing where we went wrong, and where we need to go. He then explains how to implement sustainable urbanism through leadership and communication in cities, communities, and neighborhoods. Essays written by Farr and others delve into such issues as: Increasing sustainability through density. Integrating transportation and land use. Creating sustainable neighborhoods, including housing, car-free areas, locally-owned stores, walkable neighborhoods, and universal accessibility. The health and environmental benefits of linking humans to nature, including walk-to open spaces, neighborhood stormwater systems and waste treatment, and food production. High performance buildings and district energy systems. Enriching the argument are in-depth case studies in sustainable urbanism, from BedZED in London, England and Newington in Sydney, Australia, to New Railroad Square in Santa Rosa, California and Dongtan, Shanghai, China. An epilogue looks to the future of sustainable urbanism over the next 200 years.

And as further investigation made clear, residents of impoverished neighborhoods were the most vulnerable to disaster. In short, they were overlooked - much like the homeless, jobless, poor, and disabled victims of the everyday disasters of poverty and neglect whose lives are explored in "Overlooked America".A compilation of articles published in "Planning" magazine between 2006 and 2008, this eye-opening anthology offers a fresh look at how planners and communities affect the everyday lives of marginalized citizens. Featuring on-the-ground perspectives and expert interpretations, "Overlooked America" tackles a broad range of social problems to ask why a nation replete with resources is home to so many needy individuals and families. This ambitious volume is both a chronicle of systemic disaster and a plea for change.
