Résumé:
Why Don't American Cities Burn? traces the collision of urban transformation with the rightward-moving social politics of late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century America. He shows how the bifurcation of black social structures produced a new African American inequality and traces the shift from images of a pathological black "underclass" to praise of the entrepreneurial poor who take advantage of new technologies of poverty work to find the beginning of the path to the middle class. He explores the reasons American cities since the early 1970s have remained relatively free of collective violence while black men in bleak inner-city neighborhoods have turned their rage inward on one another rather than on the agents and symbols of a culture and political economy that exclude them. The book ends with a meditation on how the political left and right have come to believe that urban transformation is inevitably one of failure and decline abetted by the response of government to deindustrialization, poverty, and race. How, Katz asks, can we construct a new narrative that acknowledges the dark side of urban history even as it demonstrates the capacity of government to address the problems of cities and their residents? How can we create a politics of modest hope?

Résumé:
Trachtenberg's book exmines the urban transformation of Florence in the fourteenth century. Focusing on the creation of the Piazza della Signoria and the Piazza del Duomo, he documents in engaging detail how and why urban planners, in league with the civic government, enlarged these urban spaces. Articulating the design principles that served as the foundation for these urban renewal projects, Trachtenberg's book fundamentally revises our understanding of urban planning in the early modern period, countering the received claim that rational planning begins only in the Renaissance.

Résumé:
Notre enquête se propose de montrer comment les formes de vie nouvelle et les nouvelles créations à base économique et technique que nous devons au siècle dernier entrent dans l'univers d'une fantasmagorie. Ces créations subissent cette "illumination" non pas seulement de manière théorique, par une transposition idéologique, mais bien dans l'immédiateté de la présence sensible. Elles se manifestent en tant que fantasmagories. Quant à la fantasmagorie de la civilisation elle-même, elle a trouvé son champion dans Haussmann, et son expression manifeste dans ses transformation de Paris.

Cet ouvrage analyse les grandes évolutions de l’action publique urbaine depuis un demi-siècle à la lumière des grandes transformations sociétales : individualisation des sociétés, montée en puissance de la société du risque, montée en puissance de la société de la connaissance, transformation des modes de régulations sociales, etc. Il s’agit de rendre compte de ce qui change l'action publique et non ce qui change dans l'action publique. Pour ce faire, les auteurs croisent des analyses quant aux transformations sociétales et des analyses portant sur l'action publique urbaine.

Résumé:
Between the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth, Americans underwent a dramatic transformation in self-conception: having formerly lived as individuals or members of small communities, they now found themselves living in networks, which arose out of scientific and technological innovations. Previous histories of this era focus on alienation and dislocation that new technologies caused. This book shows that American individuals in this era were more connected to their fellow citizens than everbut by bonds that were distinctly modern.
