Résumé:
"Future Cities Laboratory" reports on the same named research program and its mission to shape sustainable future cities through science, by design, in place. It offers a global perspective on cities from the vantage point of the world's most populous and rapidly urbanizing continent: Asia, which also acts as the base of the laboratory. This volume illustrates the richness and diversity of research at the Future Cities Laboratory (FCL). The book, which is the first in a planned series, describes new processes and types of data that are being used both to understand and improve cities. New approaches pioneered by FCL and its partners offer an important method to bridge the gap between knowledge production and action, with the aim of ensuring the sustainability of future cities. To reach this goal, FCL works closely with stakeholders in government, industry and society. The program has developed many simulation tools to help practitioners visualize the social, environmental or economic consequences of particular planning decisions.

Résumé:
We usually think of cities as dense and vertical—but in reality most cities extend vast distances in a more horizontal fashion, with less density and lower-rising buildings. This book invites us to rethink the relationship between that center and its periphery, revealing that dispersed condition as a potential asset rather than a limit, offering the possibility of(...)

Résumé:
We usually think of cities as dense and vertical—but in reality most cities extend vast distances in a more horizontal fashion, with less density and lower-rising buildings. This book invites us to rethink the relationship between that center and its periphery, revealing that dispersed condition as a potential asset rather than a limit, offering the possibility of constructing a sustainable and innovative new urban dimension. Taking up the concept of “desakota,” which describes areas—typically occurring in Asia—situated outside the traditional urban zone, The Horizontal Metropolis investigates such areas alongside examples in the United States, Italy, and Switzerland, highlighting the advantages of the concept and its relevance to economic, ecological, and social questions.

Résumé:
In "Cities in the Urban Age", Robert A. Beauregard considers the city as a cauldron for four haunting contradictions. First, cities are equally defined by both their wealth and their poverty. Second, cities are simultaneously environmentally destructive and yet promise sustainability. Third, cities encourage rule by political machines and oligarchies, even as they are essentially democratic and at least nominally open to all. And fourth, city life promotes tolerance among disparate groups, even as the friction among them often erupts into violence. Beauregard offers no simple solutions or proposed remedies for these contradictions. Without these four tensions, cities wouldn’t be cities. Rather, Beauregard argues that only by recognizing these ambiguities and contradictions can we even begin to understand our moral obligations, as well as the clearest paths toward equality, justice, and peace in urban settings.

The legacy of the twentieth century, its dogmas and its principles of ethics, are obsolete and useless; the twenty-first century presents itself with totally original and contradictory features, which need to be reflected upon in an exploratory way, without attempting to recreate a new orthodoxy, but rather a rarefied system of anarchic hypotheses and experimentation, more akin to an era like ours – experimental and anarchic.

Résumé:
"Things don‘t really exist until you give them a name" traces contemporary urban heritage discourses and practices through diverse cities across the globe. From Dar es Salaam to Berlin, via Istanbul, Dresden and Kolkata, different voices connect to heritage debates. Architects, planners and urban researchers, as well as historians, cultural managers and artists provide fresh perspectives, concepts, methods and tools to address the urban heritage conundrum: Although heritage is touted as having the power to effect social cohesion and galvanise urban communities, it is intrinsically contested and divisive. Rather than a belief in absolute (aesthetic and material) values,this book argues for a more citizen-centred and rights-based approach to heritage which could help to make cities more just and inclusive.

Résumé:
A travers l'étude de nombreux documents d'archives concernant la conception de mégaprojets tels que la gare de Lyon, la Samaritaine, le complexe Maine-Montparnasse, la reconversion de l'entrepôt Macdonald ou encore l'aéroport Roissy Charles de Gaulle, Mathieu Mercuriali pose la question du rôle que jouent ces infrastructures à grande échelle dans la mutation des villes. En effet, la construction des gares au XIXe siècle et celle des autoroutes et des aéroports au XXIe ont généré des transformations majeures de l'environnement, de l'échelle du territoire à celle du quartier. Dans une situation où la ville ne peut plus être pensée uniquement en termes d'édification ex nihilo, mais bien en termes de transformation durable d'un bâti déjà existant, "Concevoir à grande échelle" tente de définir les grandes lignes d'une typologie permettant d'analyser et de comprendre l'avenir de ces structures. A travers l'analyse des interfaces du Grand Paris Mathieu Mercuriali tente de faire émerger de nouveaux modèles d'interfaces et de contribuer à la création d'outils dédiés aux acteurs de la ville.

Résumé:
This book is about the process that creates the global urban periphery – suburbanization – and the ways of life – suburbanisms – we encounter there. Richly detailed with examples from around the world, the book argues that suburbanization is a global process and part of the extended urbanization of the planet. This includes the gated communities of elites, the squatter settlements of the poor, and many built forms and ways of life in-between. The reality of life in the urban century is suburban: most of the earth's future 10 billion inhabitants will not live in conventional cities but in suburban constellations of one kind or another.

Les mots digital et polis servent de « ruse » pour déplacer le regard, sans l’enfermer dans des discours dominants ou des significations préconçues : la ville est prise en compte en tant que polis, c’est-à-dire celui qui serait le support actif d’un espace politique et social, et le numérique s’élargit à la notion de digitus, de l’empreinte digitale, où il serait possible de repérer la trace de l’humain, la présence du corps.

Résumé:
First translation into English on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the publication of the "General Theory of Urbanization 1867" by Ildefons Cerdà, an essential work on urban development. In 1867 Ildefons Cerdà published his "Teoria general de la urbanitzación." In this text, the "science of building cities," understood as a phenomenon, became a new discipline with a broad economic, social and cultural impact on the life of the people of the city. Coinciding with 150 years since its publication, its first translation into English is being presented along with the publishing online at urbanization.org with the statistics transformed into interactive graphics and open data, with the aim of expanding the knowledge of Cerda`'s work and encouraging debate on the process of "urbanization" in the future.
