In contrast to the largely ideal-theoretic approaches of the past, today s utopias take the necessity for societal changes into account. The projects in this book explore how current challenges for architecture, mobility, and energy as well as the logistics of food consumption and waste removal can be met. Whether created by established architects and artists or new talents, the projects in Utopia Forever are radically shaping our notions of life in the future.

Résumé:
Combining place and fiction in an imaginative interpretation of 10 sites in the city of London, CJ Lim takes well-known institutions, epochs and lifestyles in the British capital and renders them fantastic in a string of architectural short stories. The medium is an intersection of paper assemblages with short stories. The stories have been exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts and the Victoria and Albert Museum but are collected for the first time in a single volume, laid out as they were designed to be seen as one phantasmogoric city vision. Painstakingly constructed, the stories assemble a sequence of improbable marriages between architecture and story, encompassing a retelling of the Three Little Pigs at Smithfield, a dating agency at Battersea, and a ringed transport system manifesting as a celestial river over the great metropolis. Drawing on a wealth of literary symbolism from Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland to Dickens’s A Tale of Two Cities and imbued with humour and irony, the book builds on London’s rich mix of extravagance and fictive tradition.

Résumé:
The Transatlantic Collapse of Urban Renewal examines how postwar thinkers from both sides of the Atlantic considered urban landscapes radically changed by the political and physical realities of sprawl, urban decay, and urban renewal. With a sweep that encompasses New York, London, Berlin, Philadelphia, and Toronto, among others, Christopher Klemek traces changing responses to the challenging issues that most affected the lives of the world’s cities. In the postwar decades, the principles of modernist planning came to be challenged—in the grassroots revolts against the building of freeways through urban neighborhoods, for instance, or by academic critiques of slum clearance policy agendas—and then began to collapse entirely. Over the 1960s, several alternative views of city life emerged among neighborhood activists, New Left social scientists, and neoconservative critics. Ultimately, while a pessimistic view of urban crisis may have won out in the United States and Great Britain, Klemek demonstrates that other countries more successfully harmonized urban renewal and its alternatives. This much anticipated book provides one of the first truly international perspectives on issues central to historians and planners alike, making it essential reading for anyone engaged with either field.

Résumé:
La recherche, menée ici pour le Plan Construction Architecture et Urbanisme, porte sur les représentations, les légitimités des démolitions et reconstructions dans les projets de renouvellement urbain de quartier, ainsi que sur leurs traductions en actions et en plans urbanistiques. Quelles sont les représentations légitimes défendues par les acteurs locaux qui permettent de dépasser la démolition considérée jusqu'à récemment comme taboue? Pour remodeler et relancer l'attractivité des quartiers, les professionnels de l'urbanisme puisent-ils dans différentes références historiques d'aménagement urbain et d'architecture? Ou proposent-ils de nouvelles formes urbaines et d'habitat, en référence à une nouvelle urbanité? La démarche scientifique mobilisée se situe à la croisée d'approches sociologiques de l'acteur, des représentations sociales, de la justification et de la traduction, et d'approches urbanistiques. Elle s'appuie sur quatre études de cas de "grands ensembles", faisant l'objet d'opérations de renouvellement urbain : Mistral et Teisseire à Grenoble, La Monnaie à Romans sur Isère et Les Hauts Champs à Hem.
