Le grand ensemble : ses mots... et ses maux ?
grand ensemble, logement social, forme urbaine, politique de la ville, politique du logement, politique urbaine, quartier populaire
Un café géographique organisé à Tours le 1er décembre 2009.
"Les grands ensembles sont la honte de la France"... Ce propos, émanant d’un ancien ministre de l’Equipement, résume sans doute une pensée assez répandue dans notre pays sur cette forme urbaine initiée par le Plan Courant en 1953 et s’achevant avec la Circulaire Guichard en 1973. Les images, fort médiatisées, des violences urbaines dans les "quartiers" renforcent cette vision négative en dépit des politiques spécifiques mises en oeuvre.
Comment réfléchir et comment parler du logement social aujourd’hui sans tomber dans les clichés ? Ce café géo sera l’occasion de replacer cette forme d’habitat dans son contexte historique - et Tours offe un magnifique panorama de cette histoire ! -, d’évoquer les cités "tranquilles" et leurs habitants, mais aussi d’examiner quelques-uns des effets locaux des politiques urbaines.
Ce café géo est organisé par l'association Confluence et l'Université Populaire de Tours.

Angkor Thom, de la Cité des dieux à l'horizon urbain : archéologie d'une mise en scène
Angkor, archéologie, architecture, analyse spatiale, forme urbaine
Présentation par le diffuseur :
Le centre du site d’Angkor est occupé par un espace exceptionnel en raison de ses dimensions, de la géométrie de son enceinte et de la dramaturgie de ses monuments : Angkor Thom. A l’analyse, le symbolisme architectural de ses grands temples et leur ordonnancement figurent une représentation, celle de l’Univers habité par les dieux, rendue célèbre par les chercheurs de l’Ecole française d’Extrême-Orient au cours du XXe siècle. Mais ce vaste espace, aujourd’hui recouvert par la forêt, enfermait-il réellement celui d’une ville ? Quels mécanismes, inhérents à toute vie de cité, soutenaient cette mise en scène grandiose ? Pouvait-on en recueillir des traces, en dresser un plan, identifier des formes, caractériser des fonctionnements ? Enfin, dans quelle mesure était-il possible de rendre compte de sa fabrication dans le temps ? En procédant à l’archéologie d’un site à grande échelle, l’archéologue apporte à ces questions une première série de réponses qui restituent à l’ancienne capitale des rois khmers, ses dimensions urbaines, prémices d’une histoire insoupçonnée.
Jacques Gaucher est docteur en Etudes Urbaines (EHESS) et maître de conférences à l'Ecole française d'Extrême-Orient.

Ville compacte, ville diffuse
forme urbaine, transport, mobilité, étalement urbain, développement durable, politique publique
La forme des villes, entendue comme la forme de l'espace urbanisé et de la répartition de ses fonctions, a évolué au fil du temps en fonction des opportunités offertes par les moyens de transport mis à la disposition des citadins grâce à l'innovation technologique et l'investissement économique : la forme des villes résulte pour une bonne part d'un système d'accessibilité, qui a tendu à son étalement et à sa fragmentation géographique.
Mais ce modèle dominant n'est pas le seul : dans les mêmes conditions, la ville compacte s'est parfois maintenue dans son principe, au point de représenter un contre modèle, européen lui aussi, porté aujourd'hui par le développement durable et présenté comme un objectif des politiques publiques d'aménagement urbain.

Marseille, aménagement urbain, forme urbaine, gentrification, mutation urbaine, politique urbaine, politique publique
<div><b>Présentation par le diffuseur :</b></div>
</div>
Marseille prétend aujourd'hui au titre de métropole méditerranéenne. On assiste à un ensemble de mutations économiques et sociales qui ont pour but un changement radical de l'image de Marseille (d'une ville précaire vers une ville qui resplendit sur l'Europe entière).<br />
<br />
Au vue des différentes luttes locales engagées depuis le début de ces mutations, en particulier au niveau de l'emploi et du logement, on est en droit de se demander si l'optique de ces changements est de réduire la précarité des marseillais ou de réduire le nombre de marseillais précaires.<br />
<br />
De ce questionnement résulte une réflexion sur l'image de la ville, cette ville que l'on cherche à tous prix à standardiser aux critères actuels de la modernité pour mieux la commercialiser. Marseille est en campagne, tel un homme politique qui voudrait revenir sur le devant de la scène, elle fait table rase du passé et tente d'éloigner tout ce qui pourrait entacher le modernisme annoncé de la ville. C'est à grand renfort de soleil que l'on fait disparaître les petites gens de Paul Carpita, les "laissés pour comptes".</div>
</div>
Ce soleil, transforme, par un bel effet d'optique, l'usine en bureau, le travail en spéculation, l'ouvrier en cadre attaché-case, l'immigré maghrébin en immigré parisien, le métissage en folklore et le port en plage.</div>

Vers une nouvelle révolution urbaine ?
urbanisme, croissance urbaine, forme urbaine, développement durable
<div><b>Présentation par le diffuseur :</b><br />
<br />
La première moitié du XXe siècle a profondément renouvelé les idées en matière d’urbanisme alors que la population urbaine connaissait une croissance sans précédent qui se poursuit aujourd’hui dans les pays émergents.<br />
<br />
La séparation des fonctions, la spécialisation des formes urbaines (tours et barres d’un côté, pavillons de l’autre), l’extension sans limite des infrastructures de déplacement, de la consommation d’énergies et de terres agricoles, tout cela a été remis en question au nom d’un retour à la ville et d’un urbanisme de reconversion à partir des années 70. La prise de conscience massive de la rareté des ressources n’a fait qu’accentuer le processus.<br />
<br />
Aujourd’hui, le développement durable et la demande sociale d’une meilleure qualité de vie en ville sont en train de produire un nouveau bouleversement des idées et des formes urbaines.<br />

In this talk, 2011-2012 GCI Faculty Scholar De Jong will discuss the research and writing she is undertaking during her fellowship year at the Institute. Her project investigates how American cultural attitudes about urban life in the metropolis, reinforced by significant demographic change, are dissolving traditional relationships between city and suburb and producing new spatial and formal conditions; in particular, the project aims to identify new models for (sub)urbanisation.</div>

How cities cope with obduracy and vulnerability
, forme urbaine, catastrophe, mutation urbaine, innovation, aménagement urbain, reconstruction, Hommels Anique
<div><b>Abstract from the distributor:</b></div>
</div>
City planning initiatives and redesign of urban structures often become mired in debate and delay. Despite the fact that cities are considered to be dynamic, innovative and flexible spaces, never finished but always under construction, it is very difficult to change existing urban structures. Cities become fixed, obdurate, securely anchored in their own histories as well as in the histories of their surroundings. Yet, if cities fall victim to a disaster, change of urban structures is sudden, unexpected and often seen as undesirable. At the same time, it is argued that urban disasters can bring about urban innovation and that cities can even benefit from them. The talk will discuss how cities cope with obduracy and vulnerability. Why is it so difficult to bring about urban innovation once urban structures are in place? How do cities respond to urban disasters? How can we explain the ‘rhetoric of innovation’ in cases of urban disaster? These issues will be discussed in relation to theories of obduracy and vulnerability in cities and illustrated with empirical cases.<br />

London and other Great American Cities 50 years on
Jacobs Jane, London, Londres, aménagement urbain, The death and life of great American cities, Power Anne, Hall Peter, Greenhalgh Stephen, Rogers Ben, renouvellement urbain, forme urbaine
<div><b>Abstract from the distributor : </b></div>
</div>
The RSA and the Centre for London at Demos gather a panel of expert commentators at the RSA to mark the 50th anniversary of Jane Jacobs’ landmark book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities.<br />
<br />
Jane Jacobs’ book, first published in 1961, transformed the way we think about our cities and helped discredit the then near universal belief in slum clearance, high rise housing projects and urban motorways. <br />
<br />
Building on close observation of her own Greenwich Village neighbourhood, Jacobs mounted a thorough and original defence of 'traditional' city forms against the dominant approaches to urban planning in her day, including the 'garden city' movement and Modernist city planning. She argued that dense, mixed income mix-used neighbourhoods, designed around short city blocks with busy amenity-lined streets and small parks, had a huge range of benefits unappreciated by modern urban planners who mistakenly associated the old city with all the evils of the 19th century slum. Jacobs claimed that cities could be great engines of cohesion, innovation, and prosperity, but only where they were properly led and managed.<br />
<br />
But has her thinking stood the test of time? What did she get right and what wrong? And in particular what are the implications of her insights for London, the UK's largest, and most unequal city? <br />

Viewing the mapping projects around Calcutta in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries through the lens of the uncanny offers us the possibility of such a reconciliation.

Politics + space : Periurbanization redux
, périurbanisation, périurbain, urbanisation, politique urbaine, espace urbain, Jakarta, Indonesia, Indonésie, Kusno Abidin, forme urbaine
<div><b>Abstract from the distributor : </b></div>
</div>
The nature of Asian urbanization has been the object of theoretical attention for almost two decades. A central theme in the discussion revolves around the dissolution of the city and countryside divide; and the question of whether the city is winning (through urbanization) or if the countryside is losing in the development game. Such issues however are much more complex in Asia. For instance, Terry McGee (who is among the first to consider the specificity of the region), defines urbanization as “the emergence of (peri-urban) regions of highly-mixed rural and non-rural activity surrounding the large urban cores.” Yet, with studies mostly centered on the processes of urbanization, very little attention has been given to the political formation of the peri-urban. This talk, through a case study of Indonesia, attempts to place the peri-urban in its historical context in order to understand the political processes that have made its formation possible.</div>

Shrinking cities : New thinking about urban development
, développement urbain, décroissance, politique urbaine, occupation du sol, espace urbain, forme urbaine, Germany, Allemagne, Kabisch Sigrun
<div><b>Abstract from the distributor : </b></div>
</div>
In the 21st century, urban development is facing new challenges caused by the parallel occurrence of both growing and shrinking cities. The development patterns and instruments of urban growth are well-known. However, the processes of shrinkage and its broad societal consequences, which affect an increasing number of cities, need intensive investigation. <br />
<br />
Using the example of German urban development, Dr. Sigrun Kabisch describes the causes and consequences of urban shrinkage. The discussion of the “Urban restructuring program” as the political answer to urban shrinkage draws attention to the complex linkages in urban development. In particular, housing demolition as one reaction to shrinkage can bring about new urban land use patterns including more green and open spaces on the one hand, but also psychological stress situations for the affected inhabitants on the other. <br />
<br />
Based on this finding, Dr. Kabisch argues, we need new thinking about urban development. A comprehensive approach with context sensitivity is necessary to discover and use the opportunities of urban shrinkage. In this vein, accepting shrinkage as an urban pathway can help to develop the affected cities in a more sustainable way.</div>

<div><b>Organisers' description : </b></div>
</div>
Please join us for a comparative and historical analysis of the gentrification of the Near North Side of Chicago.<br />
<br />
Professor Bodnar will examine the communities that have replaced the Cabrini-Green housing ‘projects’ and the proliferation of similar kinds of residential planned developments -- particularly in US and European cities. This horizontal analysis will be complemented by discussion of the history of gentrification on the Near North Side and the unfolding of current redevelopment initiatives, which signify a new scale and configuration of generalized gentrification as it has come to be known. This line of inquiry also focuses on the public-private interface.</div>
