Résumé:
Loin d'être une simple évaluation des effets sociaux de l'aménagement, la réception sociale de l'urbanisme ne peut être intelligible qu'inscrite dans les rapports entre les conditions de production de l'espace et sa recomposition sociale. L'appropriation de l'espace par les individus révèle en dernière instance le processus de recomposition sociale spécifique et subséquent à une opération d'aménagement. Au contact de la nouvelle organisation urbaine, les individus transforment leur façon de se comporter dans l'espace urbain, en même temps qu'ils font évoluer les représentations et les valeurs accrochées aux lieux. Se superpose ainsi à l'espace conçu un système complexe d'usages et de significations qui résulte des opérations de rectification, d'ajustement et de réinterprétation des dispositions spatiales par la population. Ainsi, mieux cerner la demande sociale en matière d'urbanisme suppose un renversement de perspective ; un changement de posture de la part des professionnels de l'urbanisme et de leurs mandants qui permettrait de percevoir les effets proprement sociaux de l'instrumentalisation de l'espace.

Résumé:
Walking the streets of London Iain Sinclair traces nine routes across the territory of the capital. Connecting people and places, redrawing boundaries both ancient and modern, reading obscure signs and divining hidden patterns, Sinclair creates a fluid snapshot of the city. In "Lights Out for the Territory" he gives us a daring, provocative, enlightening, disturbing and utterly unique picture of modern urban life. And in the process he reveals the dark underbelly of a London many of us did not know existed.

Résumé:
L.A. Forum’s new publication gives an insider view into the real world of real estate development in Southern California. Using the structure of a screenplay to tell the story, architect Tom Marble takes the reader inside the minds of the people on both sides of the development conflict – those seeing land as a commodity for profit, and those who see it as a valued resource for all to enjoy. Having spent time negotiating on both sides of the conference table, Marble goes beyond the usual debates over New Urbanism vs. Sprawl vs. Whatever-The-Next-Thing-Is to share his unique perspective, shedding light on the goals and motivations of all parties embroiled in defining how we live in a post-urban, consumer-driven economy. A total of 32 color images accompany the text to further engage the reader in the pivotal dialogue regarding the success or failure of the master-planned community.

Résumé:
Text by Slavoj Zizek, Edward Soja, Juliet Flower MacCannell, Neil Smith, Dieter Lesage. In Urban Politics Now, the Rotterdam-based "architect philosophers" Gideon Boie and Matthias Pauwels--otherwise known as The BAVO Bureau for Architectural Theory--issue a challenge to sociologists, social geographers, philosophers, urban planners and architects, asking, "What ails contemporary urban politics?" Having stated as part of their mission that, "It is only by conceiving architecture as a symptom that its potential to make a difference in society can be assessed and/or enhanced", BAVO asks here if democratic urban politics are possible in the contemporary climate--with neoliberals and neoconservatives on the rise, environmental concerns on everyones mind and an eruption of increasingly heated cultural differences plaguing every city in the world. If the symptoms of such ills are violence, socioeconomic disparities and hedonistic consumerism, what are the cures? An ability to reconfigure familiar disciplines seems a good start.

Résumé:
Reaching Beyond the Gold assesses the influence of global events on urban developments. Six cities - Genoa, Barcelona, Athens, Bilbao, Shanghai and London - have been chosen as case studies. These have all recently hosted a global event or will do so in the near future. After an introduction of the characteristics and impact of global events in general the history of each city is sketched and the political and urban implications of the events are examined. Three key aspects - organisation, management and city marketing - are dwelt on at length. Over forty facets including site size, visitor attendance figures, investments, populations, stakeholders, aims and methods, are then compared. A timeline, pictograms and drawings together with clear definitions of the different categories of events are used to give the best possible conditions in which to compare and analyse the events in question. Reaching Beyond the Gold analyses the successes and the failures of host cities in the past. The conclusions it draws can put an end to the structural errors still being made when organising large-scale events.
