Résumé:
Long before Occupy, cities were the subject of much utopian thinking. They are the centers of capital accumulation as well as of revolutionary politics, where deeper currents of social and political change rise to the surface. Do the financiers and developers control access to urban resources or do the people? Who dictates the quality and organization of daily life?(...)

Résumé:
Long before Occupy, cities were the subject of much utopian thinking. They are the centers of capital accumulation as well as of revolutionary politics, where deeper currents of social and political change rise to the surface. Do the financiers and developers control access to urban resources or do the people? Who dictates the quality and organization of daily life? "Rebel Cities" places the city at the heart of both capital and class struggles, looking at locations ranging from Johannesburg to Mumbai, from New York City to São Paulo. Drawing on the Paris Commune as well as Occupy Wall Street and the London Riots, Harvey asks how cities might be reorganized in more socially just and ecologically sane ways—and how they can become the focus for anti-capitalist resistance.

In ''Building and dwelling,'' Richard Sennett distils a lifetime's thinking and practical experience to explore the relationship between the good built environment and the good life. He argues for, and describes in rich detail, the idea of an open city, one in which people learn to manage complexity. He shows how the design of cities can enrich or diminish the everyday(...)

Résumé:
In ''Building and dwelling,'' Richard Sennett distils a lifetime's thinking and practical experience to explore the relationship between the good built environment and the good life. He argues for, and describes in rich detail, the idea of an open city, one in which people learn to manage complexity. He shows how the design of cities can enrich or diminish the everyday experience of those who dwell in them. The book ranges widely - from London, Paris and Barcelona to Shanghai, Mumbai and Medellin in Colombia - and draws on classic thinkers such as Tocqueville, Heidegger, Max Weber, and Walter Benjamin. It also draws on Sennett's many decades as a practical planner himself, testing what works, what doesn't, and why. He shows what works ethically is often the most practical solution for cities' problems.

Résumé:
Fiscal crises have cascaded across much of the developing world with devastating results, from Mexico to Indonesia, Russia and Argentina. The extreme volatility in contemporary political economic fortunes seems to mock our best efforts to understand the forces that drive development in the world economy. David Harvey is the single most important geographer writing today and a leading social theorist of our age, offering a comprehensive critique of contemporary capitalism. In this book, he shows the way forward for just such an understanding, enlarging upon the key themes in his recent work: the development of neoliberalism, the spread of inequalities across the globe, and ‘space’ as a key theoretical concept.

Yet from the moment that people started to occupy these places, the design has changed with substantial additions and alterations. Can architects and city-planners anticipate unplanned activities, contributions from citizens, along with changing political, economic and cultural conditions? The International New Town Institute (INTI) situated in the young Dutch town of Almere, conducts research into the development of new towns. In this book the institute searches for the relationships between planned and un-planned cities.

Pas pour le promeneur qui, en chaque lieu ou presque, comme le libertin de Kundera, est mu par « le désir de s’emparer de l’infi nie diversité du monde ». Surtout s’il ne projette pas sur les villes un idéal subjectif. Bien sûr, personne ne vit dans un état permanent de bien-être absolu. Mais chacun peut apprécier les moments où il est en paix avec la ville telle qu’elle est, malgré ce qu’elle est.

Les infrastructures inscrivent sur le territoire des imaginaires réalisés de la ville, de la mobilité et des transports, un système de communication symbolique aussi puissant que les infrastructures matérielles. Cette dimension peu souvent approchée des infrastructures est investie par cet ouvrage. La culture mythologique, fictionnelle ou fantasmatique des infrastructures s'explore dans l'analyse des productions filmiques et discursives, et dans les pratiques et expériences de la route que développe et exporte "en masse" la culture américaine d'après-guerre. La puissance de l'imaginaire infrastructurel se révèle dans ce qui lie l'infrastructure aux récits du futur, futurs des villes ou de l'architecture. Il n'y a alors pas de futur sans infrastructure. Approchées dans toutes les échelles de ses perceptions, passant de l'oeil à fouie avec les infrastructures sonores, du monument unique au réseau mondial des flagship, du symbole du progrès à un outil de communication de la société post-industrielle, de la présence dure et durable à la flexibilité, au détournement ou à l'adaptation, les infrastructures dessinent le paysage multicouche de notre environnement bâti, sensoriel et spectaculaire.

It is first of all a work of literature; the descriptions of street life as a kind of ballet and the bitingly satiric account of traditional planning theory can still be read for pleasure even by those who long ago absorbed and appropriated the book's arguments." Jane Jacobs, an editor and writer on architecture in New York City in the early sixties, argued that urban diversity and vitality were being destroyed by powerful architects and city planners. Rigorous, sane, and delightfully epigrammatic, Jacobs's small masterpiece is a blueprint for the humanistic management of cities.
