Résumé:
In car-clogged urban areas across the world, the humble bicycle is enjoying a second life as a legitimate form of transportation. City officials are rediscovering it as a multi-pronged (or -spoked) solution to acute, 21st-century problems, including affordability, obesity, congestion, climate change, inequity, and social isolation. As the world’s foremost cycling nation, the Netherlands is the only country where the number of bikes exceeds the number of people, primarily because the Dutch have built a cycling culture accessible to everyone, regardless of age, ability, or economic means. Chris and Melissa Bruntlett share the incredible success of the Netherlands through engaging interviews with local experts and stories of their own delightful experiences riding in five Dutch cities.

Résumé:
In order to understand and improve cities today, personal observation remains as important as ever. While big data, digital mapping, and simulated cityscapes are valuable tools for understanding urban space, using them without on-the-ground, human impressions risks creating places that do not reflect authentic local context.

In order to understand and improve cities today, personal observation remains as important as ever. While big data, digital mapping, and simulated cityscapes are valuable tools for understanding urban space, using them without on-the-ground, human impressions risks creating places that do not reflect authentic local context. "Seeing the Better City" brings our attention back to the real world right in front of us, focusing it once more on the sights, sounds, and experiences of place in order to craft policies, plans, and regulations to shape better urban environments.

Résumé:
Pour beaucoup, l'affaire est entendue : d'ici peu, le véhicule autonome aura amélioré nos villes, facilité nos déplacements, réduit les accidents et les embouteillages, modéré notre impact sur l'environnement. Faut-il prendre ces affirmations pour argent comptant ? Les auteurs passent au crible ces certitudes après avoir rassemblé les études disponibles dans le monde entier, débattu de leurs points d'accord et de désaccord. Ils livrent la première analyse d'envergure sur le véhicule autonome. Ils proposent un concept, TRUST, centré sur la confiance et fondé sur un postulat simple : un objet technique est toujours un objet social. Aucune technologie ne peut être appréciée sans en appréhender les enjeux sur la vie des citoyens. Alors, le véhicule autonome sera-t-il la révolution annoncée ? Fera-t-il progresser la ville dans le sens du bien-être collectif ou accentuera-t-il ses déséquilibres actuels ? Tout dépend de la façon dont nous piloterons son arrivée sur nos territoires.

La forte politisation ouvrière, la guerre d’Algérie, la construction de l’université où éclateront les révoltes de Mai 68, l’éloignement du communisme municipal d’avec la toute jeune cause des étrangers, en feront un laboratoire social de l’immigration au coeur du bouillonnement politique et intellectuel des années 1960 et 1970.

Résumé:
This second volume in the "Future Cities Laboratory Indicia" series focuses on the tools, methods and approaches needed for urban research. In short, following Marshall McLuhan’s famous provocation, the editors focus less on the message and more on the medium of research. This involves retreating from research contents—the topics, themes, questions, hypotheses, insights, ideas, concepts and thoughts—for the moment to consider the materials, methods, tools, techniques and approaches that support them. This change in perspective reveals a rich array of research approaches that include two- and three-dimensional mapping of vegetation, temperature and humidity, in conjunction with point cloud terrestrial and airborne laser-scanning technology; gathering data from sensors and geospatial data and the emergence of “solution spaces” and multi-dimensional complexity science; subject-oriented approaches to behavioral and cognitive decision making in city navigation.

Paysage, expérience sensible et conception urbaine. L'ambition d'intégrer des approches "sensibles" est de plus en plus valorisée dans les discours sur la ville. Les politiques y voient un enjeu de promotion d'une ville attractive, les professionnels une réponse aux critiques des aménagements trop fonctionnels et spéculatifs, les citoyens un enjeu de réappropriation locale. Elle exprime le besoin d'une pensée urbaine plus respectueuse des personnes et des liens, affects et ressentis qu'elles portent leurs lieux de vie. À partir des résultats de la recherche-projet Fabrique ACTive du paysage (FACT) menée à L'Ile-Saint-Denis, les contours d'une nouvelle conception urbaine plus sensible se dessinent. Pendant 3 ans, FACT a révélé des lieux et paysages par des interventions urbaines artistiques. FACT a fait émerger le langage spatial du sensible, l'expérience sensorielle et émotionnelle des lieux, et l'expression de concepteurs et artistes.

Résumé:
Our cities are changing. Around the world, more and more money is being invested in buildings and land. Real estate is now a $217 trillion dollar industry, worth thirty-six times the value of all the gold ever mined. It forms sixty percent of global assets, and one of the most powerful people in the world—the president of the United States—made his name as a landlord and developer. Samuel Stein shows that this explosive transformation of urban life and politics has been driven not only by the tastes of wealthy newcomers, but by the state-driven process of urban planning. Planning agencies provide a unique window into the ways the state uses and is used by capital, and the means by which urban renovations are translated into rising real estate values and rising rents. “Capital City” explains the role of planners in the real estate state, as well as the remarkable power of planning to reclaim urban life.
