Résumé:
In Beyond the Metropolis, Louise Young looks at the emergence of urbanism in the interwar period, a global moment when the material and ideological structures that constitute “the city” took their characteristic modern shape. In Japan, as elsewhere, cities became the staging ground for wide ranging social, cultural, economic, and political transformations. The rise of social problems, the formation of a consumer marketplace, the proliferation of streetcars and streetcar suburbs, and the cascade of investments in urban development reinvented the city as both socio-spatial form and set of ideas.

Résumé:
In eleven pointed and sometimes provocative conversations, architect and professor of architecture, Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani uses a critique of contemporary urban planning to develop principles for reestablishing the discipline. In seven projects designed with these principles in mind, he shows how his vigorous reinterpretation of the field can be implemented and what a fresh start can look like. Magnago Lampugnani envisages a calm modern city that can measure itself against the historic city, while emphasizing sustainability and providing a home for a multifaceted and continually changing society.

Résumé:
"La ville sur mesure" est une ville pensée comme unique, spécifique, qui échappe à la banalisation et à la standardisation; une ville bien dimensionnée, sobre, qui cherche le juste équilibre entre le neuf et l'existant, entre le minéral et les éléments de nature; une ville économe en moyens, qui donne à la nouvelle rue, à la nouvelle place la bonne échelle, adaptée à(...)

Résumé:
"La ville sur mesure" est une ville pensée comme unique, spécifique, qui échappe à la banalisation et à la standardisation; une ville bien dimensionnée, sobre, qui cherche le juste équilibre entre le neuf et l'existant, entre le minéral et les éléments de nature; une ville économe en moyens, qui donne à la nouvelle rue, à la nouvelle place la bonne échelle, adaptée à l'usage des habitants et aisée à entretenir. "La ville sur mesure", tel est le slogan que François Grether, Grand Prix de l'urbanisme 2012, a choisi pour défendre son approche multiple et sensible, attentive à tous les territoires, y compris les oubliés de l'urbanisme que sont les lointaines périphéries et les petites villes.
