Résumé:
A new manifesto from the Why Factory, “Porocity: Opening Up Solidity” makes a case for the intervention of the public realm into the private sphere of the city. The Why Factory raises a critique of the city as excessively closed off, and offers tools for the prying open and aerating of the city in such a way that is socially, environmentally and economically valuable to its citizens. How can we introduce pockets for encounters, for streams of circulation, for green areas, for tunnels of cooling? What structures can be imagined to allow for this openness? Creating grottos? Splitting towers? Twisting blocks? More than hypotheses, models and examples (as useful as these are), this book even proposes such tools as a computational means of calculating the degree of porosity of architecture, so that urban thinkers and urban doers can turn the critique upon their own cities.

Résumé:
The cities and urban societies of America and Europe were subject to dramatic shifts of power in the 19th century: the founding of new nation-states, industrialization and the increased mobility that went along with these developments were accompanied by tremendous social changes. New parties strove to participate in shaping society and urban space. New ways of using the city not only promoted the physical expansion of the developing capitals and metropolises, but also required a new coding of existing urban structures to meet changing requirements and expectations about life and society. ''Recoding the City'' explores the intentions and claims of the protagonists who shaped the cities of the 19th century. Developed from a series of international research initiatives, ''Recoding the City'' examines this decisive moment in the history of the Western city and considers its continuing influence on our lives in the present day.

Repérer chez les jeunes urbanistes l'excellence d'un champ de réflexions et d'actions, telle est la raison d'être de ce Palmarès, porté par le ministère en charge de l'urbanisme. En 2018, cinq équipes ont été distinguées, qui témoignent d'un engagement à toute épreuve sur le terrain. Pour les paysagistes de Caudex (Lyon), pour le "développeur" territorial Gilles Huchette (Lens), pour les architectes et les urbanistes de Concorde (Marseille, Paris), de Particules (Paris, Berlin) et de Tica (Nantes), éprouver le terrain, c'est d'abord l'occuper pour y déceler la mesure du quotidien, c'est aussi être là, progresser à petits pas dans la durée, portés par une vision.

Résumé:
Dans un contexte global marqué par le réchauffement climatique et les problématiques environnementales, le Grand Prix de l'urbanisme 2018 a été décerné à un collectif de paysagistes dont les projets mettent, invariablement, la nature au centre : l'Agence TER. Travaillant en amont des projets d'urbanisme, leurs interventions, connues dans plusieurs parties du monde pour s'inscrire dans le temps long, ont toutes en commun de participer à la conception d'un « urbanisme des milieux vivants ». Pour Henri Bava, Michel Hôssler et Olivier Philippe, les trois fondateurs de TER désormais à la tête d'une soixantaine de professionnels, le processus inéluctable de métropolisation doit s'accompagner d'une action paysagère et architecturale vertueuse, respectueuse, en chaque lieu, des héritages, des hommes et de la nature qui les entoure.

Résumé:
Today's suburbs are racially, ethnically, and economically diverse, with as many Democratic as Republican voters, a growing population of renters, and rising poverty. The cliche of white picket fences is well past its expiration date. The history of suburbia is equally surprising: American suburbs were once fertile ground for utopian planning, communal living, socially-conscious design, and integrated housing. We have forgotten that we built suburbs like these, such as the co-housing commune of Old Economy, Pennsylvania; a tiny-house anarchist community in Piscataway, New Jersey; a government-planned garden city in Greenbelt, Maryland; a racially integrated subdivision (before the Fair Housing Act) in Trevose, Pennsylvania; experimental Modernist enclaves in Lexington, Massachusetts; and the mixed-use, architecturally daring Reston, Virginia.

Résumé:
A citizen's guide to making the big city a place where we can afford to live. Housing is increasingly unattainable in successful global cities, and Toronto is no exception - in part because of zoning that protects "stable" residential neighborhoods with high property values. ''House Divided'' is a citizen's guide for changing the way housing can work in big cities. Using Toronto as a case study, this anthology unpacks the affordability crisis and offers innovative ideas for creating housing for all ages and demographic groups. With charts, maps, data, and policy prescriptions, ''House Divided'' poses tough questions about the issue that will make or break the global city of the future.

Résumé:
In ''Direct Deliberative Democracy,'' Jack Crittenden and Debra Campbell offer up a better way for government to reflect citizens' interests. It begins with a startlingly basic question: ''Why don’t we the people govern?'' In this provocative book, the authors mount a powerful case that the time has come for more direct democracy in the United States, showing that the circumstances that made the Constitutional framers' arguments so convincing more than two hundred years ago have changed dramatically—and that our democracy needs to change with them. With money, lobbyists, and corporations now dominating local, state, and national elections, the authors argue that now is the time for citizens to take control of their government by deliberating together to make public policies and laws directly.

Résumé:
Following on from the success of the first edition, ''Smartcities + Eco-Warriors'' (2010), this book is the latest response on urban resilience from one of the world's leading urban design and architectural thinkers. An ecological symbiosis between nature, society and the built form, the Smartcity cultivates new spatial practices and creates diverse forms of resilient landscapes including and beyond urban agriculture. The notion of the Smartcity is developed through a series of international case studies, some commissioned by government organisations, others speculative and polemic. This second edition has nine new case studies, and additional ecological sustainability studies covering sensitivity, design criteria, and assessments for ecological construction plans.

Résumé:
We tend to think cities look the way they do because of the conscious work of architects, planners and builders. But what if the look of cities had less to do with design, and more to do with social, cultural, financial and political processes, and the way ordinary citizens interact with them? This book is the story of dramatic but unforeseen urban sights: how financial capital spawns empty towering skyscrapers and hollowed-out ghettoes; how the zoning of once-illicit sexual practices in marginal areas of the city results in the reinvention of culturally vibrant gay villages; how abandoned factories have been repurposed as creative hubs in a precarious postindustrial economy. It is also the story of how popular urban clichés and the fictional portrayal of cities powerfully shape the way we read and see the bricks, concrete and glass that surround us.
