Résumé:
In this book, Lance Freeman sets out to answer a seemingly simple question : how does gentrification actually affect residents of neighborhoods in transition? To find out, Freeman does what no scholar before him has done. He interviews the indigenous residents of two predominantly black neighborhoods that are in the process of gentrification: Harlem and Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. By listening closely to what people tell him, he creates a more nuanced picture of the impacts of gentrification on the perceptions, attitudes and behaviors of the people who stay in their neighborhoods. Freeman describes the theoretical and planning/policy implications of his findings, both for New York City and for any gentrifying urban area. There Goes the 'Hood provides a more complete, and complicated, understanding of the gentrification process, highlighting the reactions of long-term residents. It suggests new ways of limiting gentrification's negative effects and of creating more positive experiences for newcomers and natives alike.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage n'est pas un traité d'urbanisme: il s'inscrit dans une tradition qui, en langue française, s'est ouverte avec les Introduction à l'urbanisme d'un Marcel Poëte ou d'un Pierre Lavedan. Le renouvellement de la réflexion est évident. Cette initiation à l'urbanisme s'inspire non seulement des disciplines classiques mais de celles qui se sont épanouies dans les dernières décennies : sciences du langage et des signes, archéologie du savoir, anthropologie et même musicologie. Métaphore mais surtout analogie placent ainsi l'urbanisme à un carrefour de savoirs et de savoir-faire. La périodisation historique proposée par l'auteur est originale. L'histoire de l'urbanisme, à la fois reflet et moteur de l'histoire urbaine, s'enracine dans la modernité depuis la Renaissance: long parcours aux avatars multiples, dont le court XXe siècle marque à la fois le chant du cygne et la désagrégation. Ainsi passe-t-on à la ville contemporaine, la "sprawl city", mais qui est loin de s'établir en table rase. Quels sont les effets de cette mutation sur les modes d'intervention de l'urbaniste, sur sa culture, sur sa philosophie même ? Car il ne s'agit pas seulement de répondre aux caractères de la ville contemporaine mais d'en engager l'avenir. C'est le sens de la notion de projet. Pour Bernardo Secchi, l'urbaniste reste un auteur: au-delà des savoirs et des savoir-faire ne doit-il pas respecter une déontologie ?

Résumé:
Shrinking cities have pushed urban design and classical city planning to their limits. This new challenge requires new approaches in which the "hard" tools of construction are joined by the "soft" tools of political, social, cultural, and communicative interventions. This book provides an international overview of experimental concepts for taking action in shrinking cities from the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, urban construction, the media, performance, and art. The approaches range from artistic intercessions and self-empowerment projects to architectural and landscape interventions, and from strategies of media communication and city marketing to new legal regulations and utopian designs. A series of essays provides a critical discussion of both successful and failed projects of recent decades from such countries as the United States, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Austria, Russia, and Japan. Projects featured (selection): William Alsop, Crimson, Jeremy Deller, Gordon Matta-Clark, OMA, Cedric Price, Andreas Siekmann, Robert Smithson, Superflex, O. M. Ungers

The City provides an accessible yet critical introduction to one of the key concepts in human geography. Always at the heart of discussions in social theory, the definition and specification of ‘the city’ nonetheless remains illusive. In this volume, Phil Hubbard locates the concept of ‘the city’ within current traditions of social thought, providing a basis for understanding its varying usages and meanings through a critical discussion of the contribution of key authors and thinkers. Written in a lively and accessible style, the individual chapters of The City offer a thematic overview of four dominant ways of approaching cities: as lived-in places, as imagined spaces, as networks of association and as technologies of flow. Drawing on a diverse range of literatures and case studies, the book spells out the importance of a geographical perspective on the city, suggesting that it is only by bringing these different ways of mapping the city together that we can begin to make sense of cities.

Résumé:
La récente consultation pour le réaménagement du quartier des Halles s’est terminée en queue de poisson, par une décision du maire sans commune mesure avec les enjeux du lieu, prise sous la pression des groupes d’intérêt politiques et financiers en présence. La Campagne des Halles retrace les étapes de cette aventure, en la replaçant dans le cadre général de l’architecture française actuelle, et en insistant sur l’imbroglio politique qui, entre autres, a conduit à l’échec présent. Le déroulement de la consultation, la sélection des candidats, les quatre propositions, les réactions qu’elles ont suscitées, la nature du projet lauréat sont analysés comme autant de symptômes du vide de la politique et de la culture municipales en matière d’urbanisme. Françoise Fromonot démonte le caractère d’alibi de la « démocratie participative » et l’incapacité chronique des architectes français et de la critique à nourrir un débat par-delà les conflits d’intérêts et les querelles de styles. Ce qui ressort finalement sur tous ces points, c’est la continuité de la politique urbaine de Bertrand Delanoë avec celle de ses prédécesseurs. Les positions défendues dans ce livre sont à la fois dissensuelles et fortement étayées par une recherche longue et attentive. L’intérêt du sujet déborde même « le cœur de Paris » : la nouvelle affaire des Halles jette un éclairage aussi instructif que cruel sur les mécanismes et les raisons qui façonnent aujourd’hui la forme d’une ville.
