Résumé:
Wei Li documents the processes that have evolved with the spatial transformation of the Chinese American community of Los Angeles and that have converted the San Gabriel Valley into ethnoburbs in the latter half of the twentieth century, and she examines the opportunities and challenges that occurred as a result of these changes. The concept of the ethnoburb has redefined the way geographers and other scholars think about ethnic space, place, and process. This book will contribute significantly to both theoretical and empirical studies of immigration by presenting a more intensive and thorough "take" on arguments about spatial and social processes in urban and suburban America.

Résumé:
When we think of segregation, what often comes to mind is apartheid South Africa, or the American South in the age of Jim Crow—two societies fundamentally premised on the concept of the separation of the races. But as Carl H. Nightingale shows us in this history, segregation is everywhere, deforming cities and societies worldwide. Starting with segregation’s ancient(...)

Résumé:
When we think of segregation, what often comes to mind is apartheid South Africa, or the American South in the age of Jim Crow—two societies fundamentally premised on the concept of the separation of the races. But as Carl H. Nightingale shows us in this history, segregation is everywhere, deforming cities and societies worldwide. Starting with segregation’s ancient roots, and what the archaeological evidence reveals about humanity’s long-standing use of urban divisions to reinforce political and economic inequality, Nightingale then moves to the world of European colonialism. This publication lays bare our troubled past, and sets us on the path to imagining the better, more equal cities of the future.

Résumé:
Nestled between Santa Monica and Marina del Rey, Venice is a Los Angeles community filled with apparent contradictions. There, people of various races and classes live side by side, a population of astounding diversity bound together by geographic proximity. From street to street, and from block to block, million dollar homes stand near housing projects and homeless encampments; and upscale boutiques are just a short walk from the (in)famous Venice Beach where artists and carnival performers practice their crafts opposite cafes and ragtag tourist shops. In Venice: A Contested Bohemia in Los Angeles Andrew Deener invites the reader on an ethnographic tour of this legendary California beach community and the people who live there. In writing this book, the ethnographer became an insider; Deener lived as a resident of Venice for close to six years. Here, he brings a scholarly eye to bear on the effects of gentrification, homelessness, segregation, and immigration on this community.

Résumé:
Pour Michel Desvigne, Grand Prix de l'urbanisme 2011, le paysage initie la recomposition urbaine, notamment celle des grands territoires, telle sa récente intervention sur le plateau de Saclay. Il remet au goût du jour les enseignements du plus grand paysagiste américain, Frederick Law Olmsted, pour refonder une pensée du projet durable à la bonne échelle, mêlant l'existant et l'artifice, réunissant les conditions du lien entre hommes, espaces et fonctions. De plus, il développe un mode d intervention multiscalaire : jardins, parcs (Millenium à Londres), plans directeurs (entrée de ville à Montpellier), recompositions territoriales (rive droite de la Garonne à Bordeaux), places urbaines (à Dallas, à Anvers, à Marseille) ou ensemble des espaces publics (Lyon Confluence). Joan Busquets, Prix spécial, élargit à l'échelle européenne l'expérience barcelonaise qui a fondé l'urbanisme sur la recomposition de l'espace public, incluant les infrastructures lourdes et la création de nouvelles centralités. Deux approches qui ouvrent la voie de l'urbanisme contemporain durable, posant le paysage en préalable.

Résumé:
Ce livre part d'un constat : une partie de l'art actuel accorde au déplacement un rôle majeur dans l'invention des oeuvres. En ce sens elle ne fait que participer de l'histoire générale de l'art dans laquelle la figure de l'homme qui marche est essentielle. La façon cependant dont cette question est aujourd'hui traitée par les artistes est suffisamment singulière pour mériter une analyse à part entière. C'est ce à quoi s'applique cet ouvrage qui n'est pas un panorama de la fonction plastique du nomadisme mais un choix opéré à partir de recherches contemporaines (essentiellement Gabriel Orozco, Francis Alÿs, le laboratoire Stalker) exemplaires de cette question dont il met en évidence les règles et les mécanismes d'action. Apparaît alors un univers où le déplacement est non seulement le moyen d'une transaction spatiale mais également un fait psychique, un outil de fiction ou encore l'autre nom de la production. Cette cinéplastique qui fait de la ville son théatre d'opérations, ces déplacements aux multiples résonances tracent le visage d'un monde où le réel est un processus.

Résumé:
In The Great Reset , author Richard Florida provides an examination of previous economic epochs, or "resets." He distills the deep forces that have altered physical and social landscapes and eventually reshaped economies and societies. Looking toward the future, Florida identifies the patterns that will drive the next Great Reset and transform virtually every aspect of our lives — from how and where we live, to how we work, to how we invest in individuals and infrastructure, to how we shape our cities and regions. Florida shows how these forces, when combined, will spur a fresh era of growth and prosperity, define a new geography of progress, and create surprising opportunities.
