Résumé:
Ce livre soutient que les milieux urbains et leurs cultures remettent en question la signification et les contours mêmes du processus politique. Grâce à des ethnographies avec des jeunes racisés, des agricultrices et agriculteurs urbains, des « preneurs de risques volontaires », des skateurs, des manifestantes et manifestants étudiants, entre autres, l’ouvrage théorise l’esthétique comme une forme d’action politique de plus en plus cruciale dans la vie urbaine contemporaine. Cet ouvrage interdisciplinaire, qui réunit des aspects de la philosophie, de la géographie critique, de la sociologie politique, de l’anthropologie urbaine, des études urbaines et des études culturelles, examine la centralité du plaisir, de la chaleur, de l’esthétique et du ressenti corporel dans l’expérience que ces jeunes ont du monde. L’esthétique explique comment les jeunes peuvent avoir une influence concrète sur le processus politique en adoptant des comportements perturbateurs. Passant d’une histoire contemporaine de la ville de Montréal depuis 1960 à une description ethnographique des réalités de la jeunesse urbaine dans cette ville aujourd’hui, le livre offre un regard différent sur la vie politique.

Résumé:
This publication explores the ways in which the development of the built environment has contributed to health and well-being problems and how the physical design of the places we live in may support, or constrain, healthy lifestyle choices. It sets out how understanding these relationships more fully may lead to policy and practice that reduces health inequalities, increases well-being and allows people to live more flourishing, fulfilling lives. It examines the consequences of ‘car orientated’ design, the ‘toxic’ High Street, and poor quality, cramped housing; and the importance of nature in cities, and of initiatives such as community gardening, healthy food programmes and Park Run. It questions whether Heritage is always conducive to well-being and offers lessons from holistic and innovative programmes from the UK, North America and Australia which have successfully improved community and individual health and well-being.

Résumé:
This book contributes to the development of new architectural approaches to informal neighborhoods and to a better understanding of human habitats that relate spatial issues to broader economic and political questions. The contributors analyze feasible and effective practical actions located in Africa, Latin America, and India, drawing upon empiric work to contextualize existing neighborhoods. Complementing essays explore the deeply intertwined nature of spatial practice, cultural identity, and social engagement. Together, the contributors AbdouMaliq Simone, Paulo Moreira, Elisa Silva, Julia King, and Ines Weizman uncover new modes of making architecture; map new ways for architects to engage with contested communities; address geographic differentiations on a local scale, rather than between various continents only; and explore interconnections between particular neighborhoods and their wider contexts. A conversation between the five contributors, moderated by Matthew Barac, rounds out this volume.

Résumé:
Our time is an urban age. More people live in cities than ever before, cities are growing larger and denser than ever, and urbanity has reached unprecedented levels of complexity. This boom in urbanization began in earnest around the turn of the twentieth century when technological advancement and the extraction of seemingly endless supplies of natural resources propelled urban development. As urban populations steadily increased, architects and planners were not only faced with designing housing and public space but also with responding to emerging societal challenges such as political tensions, reconstruction, decolonization, economic crises, growing climatic concerns, and cultural shifts. Through the analysis of more than one hundred richly illustrated urban design projects and initiatives, this book provides a comprehensive history of how these challenges have fomented new attitudes and approaches in the discipline of urban design.

En quelques décennies, les métropoles du continent s’imposent comme incarnations d’une modernité urbaine triomphante. De Montréal à La Nouvelle-Orléans, le développement des transports en commun ouvre la porte à un étalement urbain qui donne naissance à des quartiers bourgeois prestigieux, mais aussi à des quartiers chauds associés au jeu et à la prostitution. De Toronto à New York, experts, architectes et politiciens tentent de faire sens du chaos urbain pour s’enrichir ou sauver la ville d’elle-même. De Vancouver à Chicago, parcs et boulevards, gratte-ciels et espaces publics sont construits et aménagés pour célébrer la grandeur des cités du Nouveau Monde. Et dans l’ombre de chacune d’entre elles, il y a ceux et celles qui luttent contre les inégalités qui s’y accentuent et y persistent.

While 20th century architecture learned to control the climate of a building, the architecture of the 21st century needs to learn to cope with the climate of cities. Problems such as urban heat and air pollution need to be included in planning and design. Based on empirical realities in Cairo, Chongqing, Geneva and Santiago de Chile, the book underlines that the materiality and social practices attached to room heating, compound greening, street alignment or climate policies together form the tissue for contemporary urban climates. It interweaves socio-cultural with meteorological data and pioneers the new concept of "thermal governance" by linking architectural and technological as well as legal and economic dimensions of climate control in urban environments.

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.
