Résumé:
Conflicts around urban development and planning issues are an important dimension of contemporary urban politics. Issues of social cohesion and democratic representation become all the more relevant as cities face economic crisis and when local politics tries to meet its challenges with "post-political" responses. The case studies in Conflict in the City, drawn from cities around the world, explore the potential of local planning conflicts to challenge the rhetoric of urban democracy. These conflicts expose some of the key political issues in the contemporary city: the multi-scalar nature of urban policies, the tension between "policing" and "politics," the spatial dimension of protest and social mobilization and the struggle for new forms of citizenship. Conflict in the City attempts to rethink urban development and planning conflicts through a multidisciplinary perspective, and explore how these "local" conflicts can spur broader political mobilizations.

Résumé:
The future of humanity is urban, and the nature of urban space enables, and necessitates, sharing—of resources, goods and services, experiences. Yet traditional forms of sharing have been undermined in modern cities by social fragmentation and commercialization of the public realm.

Résumé:
The future of humanity is urban, and the nature of urban space enables, and necessitates, sharing—of resources, goods and services, experiences. Yet traditional forms of sharing have been undermined in modern cities by social fragmentation and commercialization of the public realm. In Sharing Cities, Duncan McLaren and Julian Agyeman argue that the intersection of cities’ highly networked physical space with new digital technologies and new mediated forms of sharing offers cities the opportunity to connect smart technology to justice, solidarity, and sustainability. McLaren and Agyeman explore the opportunities and risks for sustainability, solidarity, and justice in the changing nature of sharing.

Résumé:
L’eau est vitale pour les hommes. Mais la montée en puissance des villes complique les relations entre l’eau et l’homme. Rareté de la ressource, risque d’inondation, problèmes technologiques… L’eau, bien public, doit-elle être gérée par le public ? Trustée par de grandes entreprises privées ? Quid de l’eau dans les pays du Sud ? La gestion urbaine de l’eau est au cœur de nombreux débats – nationaux et internationaux –, car l’eau est un enjeu majeur, aussi bien du point de vue de la préservation de l’environnement que du bon fonctionnement du milieu urbain. Un essai documenté, précis, sur une question centrale trop souvent ignorée, qui fait comprendre la complexité du sujet et expose clairement les enjeux.

Résumé:
Les enfants sont les oubliés de la ville. La plupart des urbanistes, architectes, éducateurs, élus et parents ignorent les droits des enfants (1959). L'écrasante majorité des enfants sont condamnés à jouer dans des espaces confinés appelés "aires de jeux", parfois ils s'échappent dans des friches et autres terrains vagues... Les cours de récréation sont généralement laides et inadaptées. Les parcours quotidiens entre le logement et l'école sont insécures et ternes. Là où l'enfant se trouve tranquille c'est le plus souvent chez lui, devant l'écran de son ordinateur ou de sa tablette. Autant dire qu'il vit dans un monde qu'il façonne à partir de ses rêveries et de ses envies... Les conférences réunies dans ce livre dressent un état des lieux et proposent des pistes pratiques dans la perspective des enfants, de ce qu'ils sont et sentent, de leurs besoins et de leurs attentes.

Résumé:
Forget revolution – it’s time for reform. As the authors of this essay collection argue, sometimes the most effective path to meaningful change is to work within existing institutions and slowly, surely, push for it. This is all the more relevant for architecture, which by definition is entrenched in larger social, economic, and political contexts. Four essays on diverse topics like urban planning policy in Mumbai, unconventional city forms in Detroit, municipal housing in Diyarbakir (Turkey), and collaborative design processes in Tirana (Albania) attempt to challenge and shift the way we understand and implement reform in the design disciplines.

Résumé:
This publication provides a new perspective on the cultural landscapes of mining across the province of Asturias in north-west Spain. These areas, after undergoing an intense process of industrialisation, have changed considerably within just a few decades. What were once natural valleys with rural economic and social structures came to host bustling, dense urban agglomerations. As a result, hybrid architectures have emerged, mutating artefacts which, despite the invisibility of their inevitable marginality, can offer interesting lessons in architecture today. Richly illustrated with photographs and diagrams, it features contributions from noted artists and architects.
