Résumé:
Point Saint-Charles, a historically white working-class neighbourhood with a strong Irish and French presence, and Little Burgundy, a multiracial neighbourhood that is home to the city’s English-speaking Black community, face each other across Montreal’s Lachine Canal, once an artery around which work and industry in Montreal were clustered and by which these two communities were formed and divided. ''Deindustrializing Montreal'' challenges the deepening divergence of class and race analysis by recognizing the intimate relationship between capitalism, class struggles, and racial inequality. Fundamentally, deindustrialization is a process of physical and social ruination as well as part of a wider political project that leaves working-class communities impoverished and demoralized. The structural violence of capitalism occurs gradually and out of sight, but it doesn’t play out the same for everyone. Point Saint-Charles was left to rot until it was revalorized by gentrification, whereas Little Burgundy was torn apart by urban renewal and highway construction. This historical divergence had profound consequences in how urban change has been experienced, understood, and remembered. Drawing extensive interviews, a massive and varied archive of imagery, and original photography by David Lewis into a complex chorus, Steven High brings these communities to life, tracing their history from their earliest years to their decline and their current reality. He extends the analysis of deindustrialization, often focused on single-industry towns, to cities that have seemingly made the post-industrial transition.

Résumé:
In 2018, the Urbanarium held the Missing Middle Competition to invite explorations of ideas to address Metro Vancouver’s housing affordability and social well-being challenges and to increase density incrementally on sites of one or two standard residential lots. Enter the Mixing Middle Competition, which included mixed-use in the program of gentle densification. Conceived in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the changes to the way people lived in their neighbourhoods and worked from their homes made evident the many ways that residential zoning might be adapted to support and enhance these changes and bring shops, services, and jobs within short walkable trips from homes.

Résumé:
Ari Marcopoulos is an Amsterdam-born photographer and filmmaker who often situates himself in the lives of people living on the edge. He shot this series during one February afternoon in Exarcheia, a neighbourhood in central Athens which is famously known as home to Greek anarchists. Through 352 colourful pictures of graffiti and crumbling concrete walls, a coherent urban portrait comes to light, as if Marcopoulos was scanning the area through his camera lens. The entire series remains unedited in the layout of the book, presenting an accurate reflection of a district that still preserves the memory of decades of resistance to state repression.

Résumé:
"Goose Village," unveils the lost history of a vibrant neighbourhood decimated by urban development in the 1960s. This first edition chronicles the once-thriving Goose Village in Pointe-Saint-Charles, Montreal, and the lives of its displaced inhabitants. Portolese's comprehensive body of work, spanning four years of production and research, delves into the narrative of Goose Village. This multidisciplinary endeavour combines oral history interviews, portraiture, urban landscapes, and a forensic gaze into thousands of historical images housed at Les Archives de la Ville de Montréal. The result is a heartrending exposé of how short-sighted urban planning decisions devastated a close-knit community, forever altering the cultural and social fabric.

Diverging from the principle of focussing on one street, Flaneur succumbs to Moscow’s underlying cosmological blueprint: the city is in this issue made up of orbits. Featuring Arbatskaya Square, Pushkinskaya Square, as well as a personal journey of Ksenia Golubovich. Photographer Stas Galaktionov explores the underground vibes of one of the last remaining squats in the neighbourhood. Moscow Waters has a contribution by Grashina Gabelmann and artist Judith Sönnicken considers the mental architecture of disappearing and reappearing structures. The last chapter considers the future as much as the possible futures of the past, the crossroads that haven’t been taken, through a collection of poems, short stories and visuals.

Résumé:
While Expo 67 is considered one of the seminal moments in Canada’s history, the site had sadly become a wasteland. David Leonard explores the slow decay of this historic site. Graphic artist David Kopulos profiles over 40 projects inspired by Canada’s Centennial celebrations. Hogan’s Alley was a small neighbourhood home to Vancouver’s historic Black community. Then the downtown viaducts came and changed everything. John Lorinc looks at how Canadian cities are finally waking up to the second coming of the automobile revolution. The summer inundation of rain on the Toronto Islands has been a shocking reminder of their vulnerability. Cartographer James Steenberg examines the high-water marks of the floods.

Résumé:
Based on his experiences teaching, researching and practicing in India, Henrik Valeur discusses some of the problems related to the urban transition of India, including air pollution, contamination and depletion of fresh water resources, its precarious food situation, the lack of proper housing, and various environmental and human health problems related to motorized transportation. He proposes a number of possible solutions, including the use of plants and natural ventilation to create clean indoor air, the revitalisation of an existing system of water canals, the creation of vertical kitchen gardens, a strategy for making an entire neighbourhood car-free and a design for self-designed, low-cost housing.

Résumé:
Featuring recent and in progress urban transformation in San Francisco, this issue of a+u magazine is guest edited by Craig Hartman, senior consulting design partner at the San Francisco-based firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Two major areas are at the root of this citywide enrichment: the Yerba Buena Garden, part of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the De Young Museum, situated in Golden Gate Park. These burgeoning cultural hotspots are spreading out to fill various urban voids, such as old factories, railyards, piers, and elsewhere. One huge transformation is the Transbay Transit Center, a mixed development project now recognised as a new neighbourhood.
