Résumé:
In the early twentieth century, America was transformed from a predominantly agricultural nation to one whose population resided mostly in cities. Yet rural areas continued to hold favored status in the country's political life. For prominent figures in the social sciences, city planning, and real estate who were anxious about the future of cities, this obsession with the agrarian past inspired a new campaign for urban reform. They called for ongoing programs of natural resource management to be extended to maintain and improve cities. Jennifer S. Light finds a new understanding of the history of urban renewal in the United States in the rise and fall of the American conservation movement.

Résumé:
À l'âge d'internet et du GPS, l'espace change radicalement dans l'usage que nous en faisons et dans son rôle d'organisateur de notre rapport au monde. Métapolis opère un basculement de la ville matérielle dans le monde virtuel. La société «hypertexte» qui la caractérise se fait et se défait sans cesse et pratique l'ubiquité, comme le montre le flux permanent de photographies qui circule sur les smartphones. Les grandes régions urbaines vivent dans une logique de l'offre et de la régulation sous forte contrainte d'incertitude. Ce livre interroge : les méthodes et les savoirs actuels de la production urbaine, publique ou privée, sont-ils en mesure d'y répondre ?

Résumé:
Cairo. Open City examines the roles that images are playing in the ongoing Egyptian revolution, from the outbreak of the Arab Spring through the present. The catalog includes a variety of approaches to the time-based media of photography and video, from the works of photo journalists, to recordings by activists and citizen journalists , to documents collected by different artists. The different chapters will generate a dialogue between the images: Cover images from newspapers will stand alongside photo galleries from blogs, iconic pictures alongside unknown images of people on the streets, images of martyrs alongside long-term documentary projects. The catalog comes out on the occasion of the exhibition in the Museum for Photography Braunschweig and collects essays from young Cairo-based authors. (Arabic, German and English edition)

Résumé:
In this revised edition of Sociable Cities, Peter Hall writes: ‘the sixteen years separating the two editions of this book seem almost like geological time. Revisiting the 1998 edition is like going back deep into ancient history’. The glad confident morning following Tony Blair’s election has been followed by political disillusionment, the fiscal crash, widespread austerity and a marked anti-planning stance on the part of the Coalition government. But – closely following the argument of Good Cities, Better Lives: How Europe discovered the Lost Art of Urbanism (Routledge 2013), to which this book is designed as a companion – Hall argues that the central message is now even stronger: we need more planning, not less.
