Résumé:
Pour atteindre une durabilité, la ville ne peut pas se contenter de l'urbanisme actuel. Il lui faut intégrer plus fondamentalement la biodiversité et les services écologiques qu'elle fournit. Il y va des régulations thermiques, des limitations de pollutions... mais aussi des ambiances et qualité de cadre de vie. Seule une reconsidération de la place et de la qualité de la(...)

Pour atteindre une durabilité, la ville ne peut pas se contenter de l'urbanisme actuel. Il lui faut intégrer plus fondamentalement la biodiversité et les services écologiques qu'elle fournit. Il y va des régulations thermiques, des limitations de pollutions... mais aussi des ambiances et qualité de cadre de vie. Seule une reconsidération de la place et de la qualité de la nature en ville peut rendre acceptable les densifications et les suppressions de voiture en ville.

Résumé:
Face à des enjeux territoriaux toujours plus complexes, la métropole s’affirme comme un maillon-clé d’une politique efficace. Vecteur de cohérence territoriale, d’optimisation des ressources et d’ambition projective, la métropolisation s’est heurtée dans l’aire Aix-Marseille-Provence à un tissu de résistances fait de tensions politiques et de particularismes. Pour offrir aux collectivités locales une vision porteuse et les convaincre de «faire métropole», une Mission interministérielle a organisé une vaste consultation, parachevée par les travaux de trois équipes d’urbanistes de renom : Devillers & associés, Lin et Seura. Rendant compte de cette expérience unique, ce livre explore les méthodes de production urbaine propres à impulser une dynamique fédératrice dans un contexte local divisé.

En 2012, l’opinion publique découvrait une nouvelle forme de contestation des projets d’aménagement, les ZAD - ou «zones à défendre». Comment interpréter ce phénomène et que change-t-il ? Que nous dit-il de l’évolution de la contestation des projets et des politiques d’aménagement ? S’agit-il d’un épiphénomène, né des conditions très spécifiques de quelques conflits particuliers, d’une poussée de fièvre qui retombera rapidement, dès que l’on aura trouvé les bons remèdes, ou de quelque chose de nouveau, signe d’une radicalisation durable de la contestation environnementale ?

Résumé:
A “partition” (score) is a special representational form. It is linked to instructions for action and looks forward rather than backward: to the planning of a forthcoming event. The “open score” goes one step further: it articulates the process of producing new realities and their indeterminacy. In his latest publication, Christopher Dell sketches an “open-ended city(...)

Résumé:
A “partition” (score) is a special representational form. It is linked to instructions for action and looks forward rather than backward: to the planning of a forthcoming event. The “open score” goes one step further: it articulates the process of producing new realities and their indeterminacy. In his latest publication, Christopher Dell sketches an “open-ended city score.” The term does not refer to a representation of urban sound texture, nor is the city interpreted in an aestheticizing or musicprogramming sense. Instead, urban processes are rendered visible in a new form, by deploying a musical mode of spatial conception as a filter and perspective. For temporality and the dimension of action are vital components in unveiling the visual structures of phenomena in urban practice.

Résumé:
City Riffs traces the changing perspectives of urban design within an ever-changing global context. Moving between sixteen cities, the book also considers trans-disciplinary aspects of urbanism; formal and informal growth in Kumasi and Caracas, post-colonial structures in New Delhi and Prague, post-urban phenomena in Detroit and Brussels; cultural transitions in Antwerp and Salzburg; the changing nature of place in Seoul and Mostar; and new ecological realities in New York and Rome. Urbanism is viewed as the production of space-integrating aspects of design, ecology, and engineering, as well as other in? uences on urban cognition such as social, economical, and psychological interactions.

Résumé:
"Speaking memory" evokes the complex "language-scapes" that form at the crossroads of culture and history in cities. While engaging with current debates on the nature and role of translation in globalized urban landscapes, the contributors offer a series of detailed and nuanced readings of “translational” cities - their histories, their construction and transformation in memory, and the artistic projects that tell their stories. Defining cities as fields of translational forces where languages are both in conversation and in tension, translation in "Speaking memory" is stretched beyond its usual confines, encompassing literary, artistic, and cultural practices that permeate everyday contemporary life.

Résumé:
Once known as a “drug capital” and associated with kidnappings, violence, and excess, Bogotá, Colombia, has undergone a transformation that some have termed “the miracle of Bogotá.” Beginning in the late 1980s, the city emerged from a long period of political and social instability to become an unexpected model of urban development through the redesign and revitalization of the public realm—parks, transportation, and derelict spaces—under the leadership of two “public space mayors,” Antanas Mockus and Enrique Peñalosa (the latter reelected in 2015). In Learning from Bogotá, Rachel Berney analyzes how these mayors worked to reconfigure the troubled city into a pedagogical one whose public spaces and urban policy have helped shape a more tolerant and aware citizenry.
