Résumé:
Mumbai’s Suburbia counts as one of the largest urban sprawls on the planet and in contrary to the western notion of the word, it is a dystopian environment. The overpopulated streets are lined with an eclectic mix of derelict buildings, high rises, slums and huge billboards. The population density is 22.000 people/km²!

Mumbai’s Suburbia counts as one of the largest urban sprawls on the planet and in contrary to the western notion of the word, it is a dystopian environment. The overpopulated streets are lined with an eclectic mix of derelict buildings, high rises, slums and huge billboards. The population density is 22.000 people/km²! In the pictures for this series Peter Bialobrzeski tries to condense these highly intense and complex impressions in impressive tableaus that are presented in this publication for the first time.

Résumé:
La banlieue a mauvaise presse : villes-dortoirs, étalement urbain, société de consommation. Les banlieues et leurs bungalows sont pourtant le milieu de vie de la majorité la population nord-américaine. Faut-il poursuivre l'étalement urbain, dans une société vieillissante, ou faut-il plutôt consolider les milieux existants et les transformer pour répondre à de nouveaux besoins ? Si les auteurs ont choisi l'agglomération de Québec pour modèle de leur étude, ce qu'ils décrivent concerne bien plus que le grand Québec, dont l'homogénéité sociale permet de mieux isoler l'effet du vieillissement de la population et des quartiers de la première couronne. Ailleurs en Amérique du Nord, les clivages linguistiques ou ethniques (comme c'est le cas à Montréal) teintent les représentations du centre et de la banlieue et infléchissent les trajectoires et les projets résidentiels. Les banlieues témoignent en effet d'institutions, de valeurs, de l'appropriation du territoire, de l'art d'habiter et de pratiques constructives qui se sont développées depuis un demi-siècle. Les auteurs s'intéressent non pas tant à la banlieue en général qu'à celle de l'après-guerre où domine le bungalow. Cette étude est signée par une équipe pluridisciplinaire composée d'architectes, de designers urbains, d'urbanistes, de psychologue, de géographe, et de sociologues.

Résumé:
La « Zone », c’est d’abord une bande de terre large de quelques centaines de mètres qui entoure Paris. Logée entre les fortifications de la ville, édifiées dans les années 1840, et sa banlieue, elle sert aux manœuvres militaires. Là, s’installe progressivement une population interlope – chiffonniers, mendiants, pauvres de toutes sortes – dans un fatras de roulottes, de tissus et de métaux. À la fin du siècle, chez ceux de l’extérieur, la Zone devient un objet : objet de curiosité, de fantasmes, d’angoisse, de commisération, de littérature et d’images. Bref, l’objet de perceptions hétérogènes les unes aux autres mais unies par une même tendance à regarder de haut cette population, à la dominer avec plus ou moins de bienveillance. De la Zone, aujourd’hui devenue, par extension, la désignation de toute forme de marginalité, Jérôme Beauchez propose une « archéographie » subtile et sensible, c’est-à-dire l’histoire des regards – ceux de la bohème artistique et des photographes, des chansonniers et des journalistes, des élus et des hygiénistes – qui, en la constituant en objet, ont fabriqué une catégorie d’étrangers de l’intérieur, de « sauvages de la civilisation », dont on perçoit encore la prégnance, bien longtemps après la destruction de cet espace. Des zoniers aux zonards et au-delà, ce livre raconte l’histoire des marges.

Hong Kong is often cited as the city with the most high-rise buildings and one of the highest population densities in the world. Photographer John Fung’s project ‘One Square Foot’ challenges the viewer to seek a different appreciation of the open, geometric abstraction and complexity of spatial relationships in our concrete cities. The high-rise buildings of Hong Kong are depicted through a complex series of multiple-exposure photographs that are aesthetically intriguing and that triumph over the emptiness of purposeless congestion.

Résumé:
Christian Lutz continues his photographic study of power structures with Tropical Gift. He took portraits in Nigeria of people who live by and with the economic force that dominates everything there, the oil and gas industry. The photographs observe the protagonists' everyday lives and professional world from very close up, the rich profiteers in the capital and the indigenous population in the oil region, the Niger delta. The pictures tell their own story of business with these coveted raw materials subtly, but highly expressively.

Résumé:
Small and mid-sized suburban towns house two-thirds of the world’s population and current modes of planning for these municipalities are facing challenges of both philosophy and form. Common approaches that have prevailed in past decades no longer sustain new demands and require innovative thinking. Rather than dismissing small and mid-sized towns as unattractive suburban sprawl, Planning Small and Mid-Sized Towns offers ideas and methods on how small isolated and edge towns can be designed and retooled into sustainable, affordable and adaptable communities.

Tumber traveled to twenty-five cities in the Northeast and Midwest -- from Buffalo to Peoria to Detroit to Rochester -- interviewing planners, city officials, and activists, and weaving their stories into this exploration of small-scale urbanism.
