Résumé:
While the history of São Paulo dates back more than 450 years, most of its growth took place after World War II as the city's major economic engine shifted from agriculture to industry. Today, as São Paulo evolves into a service economy hub, Felipe Correa argues, the city must carefully examine how to better integrate its extensive inner city post-industrial land into contemporary urban uses. In ''São Paulo: A Graphic Biography,'' Correa presents a comprehensive portrait of Brazil's largest city, narrating its fast-paced growth through archival material, photography, original drawings, and text. Additional essays from scholars in fields such as landscape architecture, ecology, governance, and public health offer a series of interdisciplinary perspectives on the city's history and development.

Résumé:
Pairing particular works of art with specific innovations in real estate development, The Speculative City reveals the connections between real estate and contemporary art as they constructed Los Angeles’s present-day cityscape. From banal parking lots to Frank Gehry’s designs for artists’ studios and museums, Newbury examines pivotal interventions by artists and architects, city officials and cultural philanthropists, concluding with an examination of how, in the wake of the 2008 global credit crisis, contemporary art emerged as a financial asset to fuel private wealth and urban gentrification. Both a history of the transformation of the Southland and a forensic examination of works of art, 'The Speculative City' is a rich complement to the California chronicles by such writers as Rebecca Solnit and Mike Davis.

Résumé:
Du Québec à la Colombie-Britannique, cet ouvrage compare les tendances et les perspectives de la dernière décennie en études urbaines à travers et au-delà des disciplines. Les enjeux principaux auxquels font face Montréal et Vancouver, notamment ceux du logement et de la mobilité, sont présentés selon des perspectives nouvelles et novatrices. Les enjeux émergents — la place des peuples autochtones en milieu urbain, les systèmes alimentaires, l'action climatique — sont abordés de manière stimulante. Les travaux des vingt auteurs présentés dans cet ouvrage démontrent ainsi la portée d'une conversation continue, critique et comparative au-delà des divisions francophones et anglophones. Cet ouvrage constitue donc une ressource importante pour comprendre le champ et la pratique des études urbaines au Québec et en Colombie-Britannique ainsi que pour stimuler son évolution.. Une version anglaise de cet ouvrage est également disponible.. La réalisation et la publication de cet ouvrage ont été soutenues financièrement par le réseau Villes Régions Monde (financé par le Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et culture), le Programme d'appui aux relations canadiennes du Secrétariat du Québec aux relations canadiennes, le SFU Publications Fund et le SFU Urban Studies Initiative in Urban Sustainable Development.

Résumé:
First translation into English on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the publication of the "General Theory of Urbanization 1867" by Ildefons Cerdà, an essential work on urban development. In 1867 Ildefons Cerdà published his "Teoria general de la urbanitzación." In this text, the "science of building cities," understood as a phenomenon, became a new discipline with a broad economic, social and cultural impact on the life of the people of the city. Coinciding with 150 years since its publication, its first translation into English is being presented along with the publishing online at urbanization.org with the statistics transformed into interactive graphics and open data, with the aim of expanding the knowledge of Cerda`'s work and encouraging debate on the process of "urbanization" in the future.

�This book is based on my experiences as secretary of the interior up to the time I left office with the coming of a new administration in 2001. It makes the case, through the use of specific examples, for a more assertive and meaningful federal role in land use planning. And the book illustrates how that goal can be achieved, not by a lot of new legislation, but by reshaping existing federal programs that affect the way we use and develop our land and water resources- highway programs, farm programs, flood control, energy development, and urban programs to provide incentives for states to prepare land use and water resource plans that include open space, hazard mitigation, sustainable water supplies, and interconnected landscapes that sustain both wildlife and the human spirit.

Résumé:
Global cities (and their designs in particular) have rested on the paradigm of market-driven development, and have been interpreted as strategic spaces of neoliberal restructuring. Whilst they are now hit by the crisis of this ideology, the situation also offers the opportunity and necessity to imagine another, more social city. Yet designers continue to hold back criticism and proposals. It is, however, time to redefine the role of design for a social city and take action. What is the role of design in the production of urban space? Is it merely an element in the commodified colonisation of social spaces? Or are design and the visual and physical representations of urban issues themselves the key means by which a Civic City may be created from the ideological ruins of existing urban spaces? Jesko Fezer argues for a project of accommodating conflicts by design.

Résumé:
A direct and fundamentally optimistic indictment of the short-sightedness and intellectual arrogance that has characterized much of urban planning in this century, The Death and Life of Great American Cities has, since its first publication in 1961, become the standard against which all endeavors in that field are measured. In prose of outstanding immediacy, Jane Jacobs writes about what makes streets safe or unsafe; about what constitutes a neighborhood, and what function it serves within the larger organism of the city; about why some neighborhoods remain impoverished while others regenerate themselves. She writes about the salutary role of funeral parlors and tenement windows, the dangers of too much development money and too little diversity. Compassionate, bracingly indignant, and always keenly detailed, Jane Jacobs's monumental work provides an essential framework for assessing the vitality of all cities.
