Résumé:
Until the beginning of the nineties, the centre of Amsterdam was regarded as the obvious nucleus of urban and regional economic activity. But since then, issues of accessibility and scale have induced the development of multi-nodal spatial networks on a regional scale. In ten years' time the spatial and economic configuration of the region has changed dramatically. The development of the Zuidas in the coming thirty years offers a strategic chance to furnish this regionalization of urbanity with a new, more appealing structure. After all, the Zuidas is not only emerging as a business centre of international significance, its favourable position in the traffic and transport system provides it with optimum conditions for evolution into a varied urban-centre environment.

Résumé:
David Rusk argues that America must end the isolation of the central city from its suburbs in order to attack its urban problems. Rusk's analysis, extending back to 1950, covers 522 central cities in 320 metro areas of the United States. He finds that cities trapped within old boundaries have suffered severe racial segregation and the emergence of an urban underclass. But cities with annexation powers-- termed 'elastic' by Rusk-- have shared in areawide development. Rusk assesses the major trends of the 1990s, including the preceived rebound of central cities, the impact of Hispanic and Asian migration, and the emerging influence of faith-based movements. New recommendations take account of growing restrictions on cities' annexation powers, even in the south-western United States, and of new opportunities for federal shaping of home mortgage programs and urban planning processes. Rusk's conclusion stresses cities' growing experience with building political coalitions in pursuit of development and growth.

Résumé:
Nye looks at America's development of its electrical grid, which made large-scale power failures possible; military blackouts before and during World War II ("The silence was the big surprise of the blackout, the darkness discounted," wrote Harold Ross in The New Yorker in 1942); New York City's contrasting 1965 and 1977 blackout experiences (the first characterized by cooperation, the second by looting and disorder); the growth in consumer demand that led to rolling blackouts made worse by energy traders' market manipulations; blackouts caused by terrorist attacks and sabotage; and, finally, the "greenout" (exemplified by the new tradition of "Earth Hour"), a voluntary reduction organized by environmental organizations. Blackouts, writes Nye, are breaks in the flow of social time that reveal much about the trajectory of American history. Each time one occurs, Americans confront their essential condition—not as isolated individuals, but as a community that increasingly binds itself together with electrical wires and signals.

Résumé:
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the John Lindsay administration in New York City created innovative policies to try to draw on-location media production to the city. At the same time, the New York City Planning Commission was producing a wealth of documents that clearly reflect the influence of various media depictions of New York. Imaginary Apparatus reveals the links between those two efforts, showing how they fed each other. As more and more films and TV shows were shot on location in New York, mediated images of the city and its buildings proliferated—and those same images exerted a powerful influence on the imaginations of the planners who were generating ideas for New York’s future development. Included with thisbook is a DVD featuring the movie What Is the City but the People?, the film version of the 1969 "Plan for New York City" and a unique document that has never before been publicly available.
