Tout le monde les aime, les célèbre et les croit éternels. Avec leurs étals bien garnis et leurs commerçants gouailleurs, les marchés alimentaires n’assurent pas seulement un acheminement régulier en produits frais, locaux et de saison, ils génèrent aussi une joyeuse animation de rue et suscitent de précieux échanges humains.

Avec leurs étals bien garnis et leurs commerçants gouailleurs, les marchés alimentaires n’assurent pas seulement un acheminement régulier en produits frais, locaux et de saison, ils génèrent aussi une joyeuse animation de rue et suscitent de précieux échanges humains. Et malgré la concurrence des supermarchés, des zones commerciales et de la livraison express à domicile, ils semblent avoir résisté à tous les assauts. Pendant longtemps, en France comme ailleurs, il n’y a pas eu de marché sans ville, et pas de ville sans marché. Puisque bon nombre de gens préfèrent toujours s’approvisionner une ou deux matinées par semaine au grand air, ce lieu, héritier indirect des foires du Moyen Âge, paraît immuable. Pourtant, le marché est à la croisée des chemins. Son fonctionnement demeure méconnu, la grande distribution lorgne sur son succès et, lorsque vient le temps de penser des projets de revitalisation urbaine, il est rarement pris en compte.

Résumé:
The construction industry is keen to give nature a bigger role in area development, but the road from ambition to realization and management is a challenging one. This book identifies key challenges encountered during the various phases of the planning process and highlights possible solutions drawn from practice. In ''Nature-inclusive Urban Development'' the authors look back to the very first European eco-districts from the final decade of the twentieth century and examine what the concept has delivered for residents and nature. They also assess the effectiveness of several pioneering international points systems in Amsterdam, Berlin, London, Malmö, Stockholm, and The Hague, among other cities. The book explores the operation and benefits of these points systems, and provides valuable solutions gleaned from interviews with practitioners in key positions. As such, nature-inclusive urban development offers practical pathways for overcoming governance challenges and fostering innovation for making cities biodiverse.

Il s’agit d’un texte fondamental qui propose une synthèse de l’histoire de l’urbanisme en Europe du point de vue de la propriété des sols. Parmi les chapitres primordiaux du livre, on retrouve une analyse de la ville coloniale médiévale, de l’Amsterdam du 17e siècle à la Place Vendôme, des effets négatifs de la chute de l’Ancien Régime, des résultats désastreux de l’expansion urbaine commanditée par les spéculations foncières, de la cité-jardin, des nouvelles cités industrielles de l’Union soviétique, parmi bien d’autres exemples. Des traductions récentes démontrent un regain d’intérêt autour de questions telles que la consommation du sol agricole dans les pays européens, l’usage équitable des ressources face à l’urgence climatique et la forte demande de mise en place de régimes communaux, les commons, pour lesquels l’urbanisme ne dispose pas encore d’instruments adéquats.

La fabrique et la gestion des villes sont aujourd’hui confrontées, comme de nombreuses autres activités, au remplacement de décisions humaines par des décisions algorithmiques. La substitution n’est pas seulement technique et professionnelle : elle est aussi politique. Elle ne touche pas que les métiers et les emplois : elle affecte la capacité des responsables locaux et des citoyens à penser et à porter des projets de société. Une lutte est donc engagée entre la cité politique, matrice historique des démocraties occidentales, et la ville-service numérisée proposée par les géants de l’économie numérique. Si notre société a pris conscience de l’influence croissante de ces acteurs, elle hésite entre la fascination devant les promesses d’un « salut par la technologie » et la peur d’un monde placé sous surveillance généralisée.

Résumé:
People want a better quality of life now, genuine environmental responsibility, and local control over their own futures. "The urban village" is a seminal intellectual and practical contribution to the construction of such possibilities. It introduces new ideas, like territorial patrimony, and sustainable, local-level autonomous development, describing both the methodological aspects and the visionary, alternative communities which could become possible. Professor Magnaghi sees these as being profoundly democratic, environmentally sustainable, and embodying sufficient local economic strength to resist globalization. Another potential gain would be an increase in social well-being as measured by the quality of life, solidarity, and the development of non-commercial caring relations.

Résumé:
The contributors announce the demise of the city of broad shoulders and the transformation of its physical, social, cultural, and economic institutions into a new Chicago. In this book, twenty scholars, journalists, and activists, relying on data from the 2000 census and many years of direct experience with the city, identify five converging forces in American urbanization which are reshaping this storied metropolis. The twenty-six essays included here analyze Chicago by way of globalization and its impact on the contemporary city; economic restructuring; the evolution of machine-style politics into managerial politics; physical transformations of the central city and its suburbs; and race relations in a multicultural era. In elaborating on the effects of these broad forces, contributors detail the role of eight significant racial, ethnic, and immigrant communities in shaping the character of the new Chicago and present ten case studies of innovative governmental, grassroots, and civic action. Edited by John P. Koval, Larry Bennett, Michael I. J. Bennett, Fassil Demissie, Roberta Garner and Kiljoong Kim.

Résumé:
The Housing Divide examines the generational patterns in New York City's housing market and neighborhoods along the lines of race and ethnicity. The book provides an in-depth analysis of many immigrant groups in New York, especially providing an understanding of the opportunities and discriminatory practices at work from one generation to the next. Through a careful read of such factors as home ownership, housing quality, and neighborhood rates of crime, welfare enrollment, teenage pregnancy, and educational achievement, Emily Rosenbaum and Samantha Friedman provide a detailed portrait of neighborhood life and socio-economic status for the immigrants of New York. The book paints an important, if disturbing, picture. The authors argue that not only are Blacks—regardless of generation—disadvantaged relative to members of other racial/ethnic groups in their ability to obtain housing in high-quality neighborhoods, but that housing and neighborhood conditions actually decline over generations. Rosenbaum and Friedman's findings suggest that the future of racial inequality in this country will increasingly isolate Blacks from all other groups. In other words, the "color line" may be shifting from a line separating Blacks from Whites to one separating Blacks from all non-Blacks.

Résumé:
Rich with the textures and rhythms of street life, "The tenants of East Harlem" is an unconventional biography of a neighborhood told through the life stories of seven residents whose experiences there span nearly a century. Modeled on the ethnic distinctions that divide the community, the book portrays the old guard of East Harlem: Pete, one of the last Italian holdouts; José, a Puerto Rican; and Lucille, an African American. Side by side with these representatives of a century of ethnic succession are the newcomers: Maria, an undocumented Mexican; Mohamed, a West African entrepreneur; Si Zhi, a Chinese immigrant and landlord; and, finally, the author himself, a reluctant beneficiary of urban renewal. Russell Leigh Sharman weaves these oral histories together with fine-grained ethnographic observations and urban history to examine the ways that immigration, housing, ethnic change, gentrification, race, class, and gender have affected the neighborhood over time. Providing access to the nuances of inner-city life, "The tenants of East Harlem" shows how roots sink so quickly in a community that has always hosted the transient, how new immigrants are challenging the claims of the old, and how that cycle is threatened as never before by the specter of gentrification.

Résumé:
Los Angeles's history is a story of conflicting visions. Most historians, journalists, and filmmakers have focused on L.A. as a bastion of corporate greed, business boosterism, political corruption, cheap labor, exploited immigrants, and unregulated sprawl. "The next Los Angeles" tells a different story: that of the reformers and radicals who have struggled for alternative visions of social and economic justice. The authors chronicle efforts of progressive social movements that worked throughout the twentieth century to create a more livable, just, and democratic Los Angeles. These movements-what the authors call Progressive L.A.-have produced a new kind of labor movement, community-oriented environmentalism, and multi-ethnic coalition politics. This book shows how reformers have fought to transform a city characterized by huge economic disparities, concrete-encased rivers, and an endless landscape of subdivisions, freeways, and malls into a progressive model for regions around the country. "The next Los Angeles" includes a decade-by-decade historical snapshot of the city's progressive social movements and an in-depth exploration of key trends that are remaking L.A. at the beginning of the twenty-first century. It examines L.A.'s changing political landscape, including grassroots initiatives to construct a new agenda for social transformation.
