Résumé:
Ce livre analyse comment la ville est devenue le réceptacle de l'évolution de la société et des modes de vie dans un monde incertain, une économie incertaine et des territoires incertains. Comment essayer de construire un récit dans lequel les citoyens se retrouvent, dans lequel les élus s'engagent. La fragilité, aujourd'hui, des êtres humains, auxquels on demande de s'inventer sans cesse, exige des responsables publics qu'ils soient capables de fixer un cap et que la politique produise ce récit dans lequel chacun trouve sa place. Ce livre n'a pas de prétention scientifique. Il se veut une manière de raconter la ville, une lecture de ville à travers une expérience d'élu et de professionnel, tout au long de quelques dizaines d'années de pratique.

The formerly segregated countryside is now traversed by global and regional flows of people, goods, waste, energy and information, linking it to urban systems and enabling those systems to function in the first place. Ruralism is dedicated to the significance of rural spaces as a starting point for transformation. International experts explore the rural from architectural, cultural, gender-oriented, ecological and political perspectives, and ask how a new vision of the rural can be formulated.

Résumé:
This book gathers writings by Swedish American architect Lars Lerup, in which he observes and analyzes the urban environment around him, then applies those findings to develop innovative theories about the modern city. Though the fourteen essays in the book were written as standalone pieces, together they cohere into a larger project that surveys Lerup’s thinking about identity, monumentality, and the relationship between nature and culture. He considers influential modern landscape designer Roberto Burle Marx, the “dancing floors” of Rem Koolhaas’s Seattle Central Library, Herzog & de Meuron’s 1111 Lincoln Road project in Miami Beach, the character of urban icons like Coop Himmelb(l)au’s Dalian International Conference Center, and much more.

Résumé:
More than half of the world’s population now lives in urban areas, but a billion of these people reside in neighbourhoods characterized by entrenched disadvantage. These neighbourhoods, known as ‘slums’, are often seen as a debilitating and even subversive presence within society. In reality, however, it is often the host societies and their public policies that are at fault. In this comprehensive global history, Alan Mayne explores the evolution and meaning of the word ‘slum’, from its origins in London in the early nineteenth century to its use to describe favela communities in the lead up to the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games in 2016. The word ‘slum’ has been extensively used for two hundred years to condemn and disperse poor communities.

Résumé:
Offering new ways of thinking about our cities, Code and Clay, Data and Dirt goes far beyond the standard historical concepts of origins, development, revolutions, and the accomplishments of an elite few. Mattern shows that in their architecture, laws, street layouts, and civic knowledge—and through technologies including the telephone, telegraph, radio, printing, writing, and even the human voice—cities have long negotiated a rich exchange between analog and digital, code and clay, data and dirt, ether and ore. Mattern’s vivid prose takes readers through a historically and geographically broad range of stories, scenes, and locations, synthesizing a new narrative for our urban spaces. Taking media archaeology to the city’s streets, Code and Clay, Data and Dirt reveals new ways to write our urban, media, and cultural histories.

Résumé:
Tunnels, passerelles, escalators, téléphériques urbains, cheminements, les pasages sont des maillons essentiels et potentiellement porteurs d'urbanités singulières. Ils demandent peu d'investissements et devraient systématiquement accompagner les grandes opérations d'aménagement parce qu'ils offrent des vertus réparatrices des fractures opérées par les infrastructures de transport rapide et le zoning de l'urbanisation du 20e siècle. Cet ouvrage présente plus de 150 réalisations contemporaines et analyse les passages dans leurs dimensions historique, spatiale, sociale, sensible, ainsi que du pont de vue des mobilités émergentes et des désirs des habitants. Le Manifeste du PAssage, en conclusion, est un appel à l'innovation.
