Résumé:
Dans le contexte d'une économie de l'immatériel et de la connaissance, les nouveaux moteurs économiques sont les services aux entreprises, qui s'implantent généralement dans les métropoles. Quel développement alors pour les villes moyennes ? Doivent-elles copier le mode métropolitain ? Quel avenir pour celles qui échoueraient ? Leurs fonctions traditionnelles peuvent-elles suffire à leur développement, ou sont-elles destinées à devenir des centres de consommation et de résidence, à l'écart des grandes mutations économiques ? Cet ouvrage aborde cette problématique de plusieurs façons: certains chapitres analysent systématiquement l'ensemble des villes moyennes françaises, d'autres étudient plus en détail des contextes particuliers, soit urbains, soit sectoriels et régionaux.

Résumé:
Pilot and photographer Alex MacLean has flown his plane over large areas of the United States, documenting the landscape from agricultural patterns to geometric city grids. Depicting not only the city's famous water towers, but pools, tennis courts, gardens, sunbathers, art, and restaurants up in the air, MacLean's images give readers a glimpse of a part of the city that usually remains hidden. His photographs leave little doubt about New York City's "green" potential and the belief that improved outdoor spaces above lead to more livable cities below. Maps and captions help the reader to easily locate the photographs, and an essay by Robert Campbell puts MacLean's work into context.

Each chapter opens with a reprint of a historically significant essay discussing a specific building or urban project. The author, Alexandra Lange, then offers a close reading of that essay, as well as her own analysis through contemporary examples, to further enlighten the reader about how to write an effective piece of architectural criticism.
