After the factory : Reinventing America's industrial small cities
, ville en déclin, désindustrialisation, économie, renouvellement urbain, histoire urbaine, développement durable, développement urbain, United States, États-Unis, Connolly James J., mondialisation
<div><b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div> </div> The most pressing question facing the small and mid-sized cities of America's industrial heartland is how to reinvent themselves. Once-thriving communities in the Northeastern and Midwestern U. S. have decayed sharply as the high-wage manufacturing jobs that provided the foundation for their prosperity disappeared. A few larger cities had the resources to adjust, but most smaller places that relied on factory work have struggled to do so. Unless and until they find new economic roles for themselves, the small cities will continue to decline.<br /> <br /> Reinventing these smaller cities is a tall order. A few might still function as nodes of industrial production. But landing a foreign-owned auto manufacturer or a green energy plant hardly solves every problem. The new jobs will not be unionized and thus will not pay nearly as much as the positions lost. The competition among localities for high-tech and knowledge economy firms is intense. Decaying towns with poor schools and few amenities are hardly in a good position to attract the "creative-class" workers they need. Getting to the point where they can lure such companies will require extensive retooling, not just economically but in terms of their built environment, cultural character, political economy, and demographic mix. Such changes often run counter to the historical currents that defined these places as factory towns.<br /> <br /> After the Factory examines the fate of industrial small cities from a variety of angles. It includes essays from a variety of disciplines that consider the sources and character of economic growth in small cities. They delve into the history of industrial small cities, explore the strategies that some have adopted, and propose new tacks for these communities as they struggle to move forward in the twenty-first century. Together, they constitute a unique look at an important and understudied dimension of urban studies and globalization.</div> </div> <b>Contents : </b></div> </div> Can They Do It?

<div><b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div> </div> Over the last twenty years Barcelona has reached the apex of its public appeal, and the time has come for a critical evaluation of its recent past. Barcelona is an emblematic example of how a European and Mediterranean city can be radically transformed. Starting from the 1980s, through investment in contemporary architecture, tourism, and advanced services, the city abandoned its traditional identity as an industrial center. After 1992, following the Olympics and the international success the city enjoyed as a result, Barcelona became a "model" city, renowned for its architecture, urban projects, attention to urban morphology, and context. Through extensive "in the field" investigation, giving voice to key figures in culture, architecture, and politics, and a vast array of images, the author gives a critical account of the various "stages" in Barcelona’s recent history, putting them into historical context and drawing parallels with local and international currents.</div> </div> <b>Chiara Ingrosso</b> is an architect and researcher in the history of architecture at the Second University of Naples.</div> </div>

<div><b>Présentation par l'éditeur :</b></div>
</div>
Ce portrait de la capitale catalane, sous forme d'une généalogie de son espace urbain, met en exergue ses singularités, liées à son histoire, à la géographie spécifique de son site et à l'apport de créateurs d'exception.<br />
<br />
Ville-port de fondation romaine sur la Méditerranée, Barcelone s'est rapidement développée grâce à son intense activité marchande et à son rôle politique. Elle est pourtant restée confinée dans ses remparts médiévaux jusqu'en 1854, date à laquelle l'État central - l'unification du royaume d'Aragon-Catalogne avec celui de Castille datant de la fin du XVe siècle - autorise leur démolition.<br />
<br />
Elle s'est ensuite déployée - sur la base du plan d'extension quadrillé de Cerdà (1859) - jusqu'à occuper toute la plaine côtière limitée par les fleuves du Llobregat et du Besôs et par la chaîne de Collserola.<br />
<br />
Au cours du XXe siècle, l'aire métropolitaine s'est développée bien au-delà, tandis que la ville-centre procédait à la reconquête de son littoral et de ses friches industrielles tout en réalisant d'importants projets de renouvellement urbain dans ses quartiers périphériques (Forum 2004, Sagrera-San Andreu, place de l'Europe, entre autres).<br />

Beijing record : A physical and political history of planning modern Beijing

<div><b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div> </div> Beijing Record, the result of ten years of research on the urban transformation of Beijing in the last fifty years, brings to an extended Western audience the inside story on the key decisions that led to Beijing's present urban fragmentation and its loss of memory and history in the form of bulldozing its architectural heritage. Wang's publication presents a survey of the main developments and government-level (both central and municipal) decisions, devoting a lot of attention to the 1950s and 1960s, when Beijing experienced a critical wave of transformative events.<br /> <br /> Shortly after its original Chinese bestseller edition was published by SDX joint Publishing Company House in October 2003, it ignited a firestorm of debate and discussion in a country where public interaction over such a sensitive subject rarely surfaces. The Chinese edition is in its 7th print run and was translated into Japanese in 2008. This newly-translated English version has the latest update on the author's findings in the area.<br /> <br /> Home to more than 15 million people, this ancient capital city — not surprisingly — has a controversial, complicated history of planning and politics, development and demolition. The publication raises a number of unsettling questions: Why have a valuable historical architectural heritage such as city ramparts, gateways, old temples, memorial archways and the urban fabric of hutongs (traditional alleyways) and siheyuan (courtyard houses) been visibly disappearing for decades? Why are so many houses being demolished at a time of economic growth? Is no one prepared to stand up for the preservation of the city?<br /> <br /> For his research, Wang went through innumerable archives, read diaries and collected an unprecedented quantity of data, accessing firsthand materials and unearthing photographs that clearly document the city's relentless, unprecedented physical makeover. In addition, he conducted more than 50 in-person interviews with officials, planners, scholars and other experts. Many illustrations are published here for the first time, compiled in the 1990s when archival public access was reformulated.</div> </div> <b>Jun Wang </b>is a senior reporter and editor of the Xinhua News Agency Outlook Weekly magazine.</div> </div>

Berlin en mouvement : quoi de neuf depuis la chute du Mur ?
Berlin, renouvellement urbain, dynamiques urbaines, témoignage, vingtième siècle, vingt-et-unième siècle, Laborey Claire
<div><b>Présentation par l'éditeur :</b></div>
</div>
1989. Les coups de pioches répondent au violoncelle de Rostropovitch. Une marée humaine déferle sur la porte de Brandebourg. Ces images de liesse gravées dans les mémoires échafaudent aussitôt un mythe : Berlin est la ville de tous les possibles.</div>
</div>
Que reste-t-il, vingt ans plus tard, de cette effervescence ? Ville-chantier, en constant renouvellement, elle a sollicité les plus grands architectes. Ville-mosaïque, parsemée de forêts et de friches, elle cherche ses contours. Ville à fleur de présent, elle hésite entre commémorations hésitantes et abrupts refoulements de son histoire. Berlin fuyante et complexe. Ville de l'entre-deux, du provisoire.</div>
</div>
Seuls les Berlinois pouvaient en parler. Vingt d'entre eux témoignent dans ce livre. Stars de l'électro, du cinéma et du théâtre y côtoient architectes, militants ou migrants. Ils brossent le portrait de la ville telle qu'elle est, avec ses tensions, ses contradictions.</div>
</div>
Berlin invite à ce qu'on se risque aux tentatives, essais, initiatives inventives et idéalistes, communautaires ou solidaires. La normalisation de la ville-vitrine n'est peut-être pas pour demain.</div>

Berlin, un urbanisme participatif
, urbanisme, participation, développement urbain, habitants, renouvellement urbain, Berlin
<div><b>Présentation par l'éditeur :</b></div>
</div>
Berlin est aujourd’hui confrontée à des problèmes sociaux liés aux restructurations économiques et à un taux de chômage qui a été amplifié par la réunification. Avec le programme "Ville sociale" en 2000 et le programme de restructuration urbaine de l’Est en 2002, qui mobilisent la ville, le Land, l’État fédéral et l’Europe, la ville a développé une approche intégrée du renouvellement urbain sous le label "management de quartier". Ce dispositif de gestion sociale et urbaine innovant prend appui sur les projets des habitants pour redynamiser la vie locale. Les fonds de quartier berlinois et les jurys de quar- tier accompagnent la régénération urbaine: une participation citoyenne qui a fait naître un "urbanisme participatif". <br />
<br />
Onze professionnels de la Seine-Saint-Denis ont sillonné Berlin pour comprendre ces politiques de restructuration urbaine en lien avec la participation des habitants: les quartiers anciens de Kreuzberg, bien connus pour leurs luttes urbaines au début des années 1980, ou de Prenzlauerberg, et les grands ensembles de logements collectifs de Marzahn, dans l’ancien Berlin-Est. <br />
<br />
Malgré les difficultés financières de la capitale, l’expérience berlinoise de développement local est particulièrement prolifique, et la volonté y est forte de conduire le développement des quartiers dans toutes ses dimensions humaines et sociales: rendre les habitants acteurs, les associer au processus décisionnel et considérer leur expertise d’usage.</div>

<div><b>Présentation par l'éditeur :</b></div>
</div>
Parmi les villes "héroïques" qui se réinventent pour renaître de la crise, Birmingham cumulait les handicaps, défigurée par la guerre et l'urbanisme moderniste, dévastée par la dépression industrielle.</div>
</div>
Sa renaissance spectaculaire repose sur une stratégie, conduite depuis plus de vingt ans, pour attirer le tourisme d'affaires et donner une priorité absolue au centre ville, élargi, vivifié, embelli. Les moyens sont pragmatiques ; des projets publics ambitieux qui dynamisent l'investissement privé, transformant la ville en lieu ludique et commercial de premier plan. Les partenariats public / privé, pratiqués depuis longtemps en Grande-Bretagne, sont riches d'enseignements, y compris pour interroger leurs conséquences sur la qualité urbaine et la cohésion sociale.</div>

</div>
Quand nous parcourons l’agglomération bordelaise, les mutations semblent si évidentes que l’on en oublie "l’avant" ou le temps des chantiers des années deux mille.</div>
</div>
Jusqu’alors la ville donne le sentiment de stagner, inertie confortée par l’importance du patrimoine dans l’histoire locale et par la critique des grands travaux assujettis à l’automobile. Les nombreux projets engagés, dont le tramway et l’aménagement des quais rive gauche, vont générer une nouvelle culture urbaine et initier d’autres pratiques de la ville. Le changement est en marche et cet ouvrage analyse le renouveau de la métropole bordelaise, les mécanismes et les acteurs qui l’ont permis.</div>
<br />
Articulé en quatre séquences — penser, gouverner, fabriquer, faire la ville — et abondamment illustré, il donne les clés pour comprendre un moment fort de l’histoire contemporaine d’une ville qui veut se moderniser sans trahir son héritage architectural et un attachement à une certaine qualité de vie.</div>

<b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div>
</div>
Published by the Institutional Capacity and Finance Sector of the Inter-American Development Bank and the Cities Alliance, this publication documents the evolution of settlement upgrading programmes both in theory and practice and describes the most critical challenges in improving the quality of life of the settlements’ inhabitants.<br />
<br />
Seven chapters each address a theme, presenting current knowledge on the theme, challenges, and successful experiences in confronting these challenges. Among the volume’s overarching recommendations is a call for the expansion of the scale of the interventions so that the more than 100 million poor people living in cities of the Latin America Caribbean (LAC) region may see marked improvements in their quality of life within a reasonable time span.<br />
<br />
This publication aims to contribute to the policy dialogue and to the debate about the design and implementation of settlement upgrading programmes taking place in all countries of the LAC region. It is expected that the analysis of the rich operational experiences will be of interest to specialists and elected officials of other developing regions that are confronting similar problems.</div>

<div><b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div> </div> "The challenges of an increasingly poor urban population, as well as the mushrooming of illegal or semi-legal settlements and slums, have been acknowledged by both local authorities and international development agencies. The insecurity of tenure, the poor housing conditions, the insufficient supply of basic public services such as water, sewage, streets, electricity, schools, and health centers, as well as the need for political and social inclusion, have been the focus of discussions at international conferences. The response to these challenges has been articulated by an international consensus of comprehensive approaches for improving the living conditions in informal areas, raising the quality of life in poor and deteriorated districts, creating circumstances for long-term poverty alleviation, and guaranteeing legal and secure tenure. A commitment to the Millennium Development Goals by the member countries of the United Nations is assured by their having put these strategies on their national agendas. In Egypt, GTZ supports governmental authorities of various levels in performing their tasks by adopting a variety of conceptual approaches, such as participatory strategies for upgrading informal areas and capacity development. GTZ also strengthens private sector and civil society organizations in recognizing and exercising their responsibility within the urban community and their roles in resolving existing problems. This book features a comprehensive view of sustainable urban development, and of all stakeholders involved in that process. We hope it will be of interest to a wide range of experts concerned with urban development."</div> </div> <b>Regina Kipper</b> studied geography, journalism, and cultural anthropology at the University of Mainz, Germany.

<div><b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div> </div> Reveals how liberal democracy and free-market economics reproduce the inequalities of apartheid in Cape Town, South Africa<br /> <br /> Nearly two decades after the dismantling of apartheid in South Africa, how different does the nation look? In Cape Town, is hardening inequality under conditions of neoliberal globalization actually reproducing the repressive governance of the apartheid era? By exploring issues of urban security and development, Tony Roshan Samara brings to light the features of urban apartheid that increasingly mark not only Cape Town but also the global cities of our day—cities as diverse as Los Angeles, Rio de Janeiro, Paris, and Beijing.<br /> <br /> Cape Town after Apartheid focuses on urban renewal and urban security policies and practices in the city center and townships as this aspiring world-class city actively pursues a neoliberal approach to development. The city’s attempt to escape its past is, however, constrained by crippling inequalities, racial and ethnic tensions, political turmoil, and persistent insecurity. Samara shows how governance in Cape Town remains rooted in the perceived need to control dangerous populations and protect a somewhat fragile and unpopular economic system. In urban areas around the world, where the affluent minority and poor majority live in relative proximity to each other, aggressive security practices and strict governance reflect and reproduce the divided city.<br /> <br /> A critical case for understanding a transnational view of urban governance, especially in highly unequal, majority-poor cities, this closely observed study of postapartheid Cape Town affords valuable insight into how security and governance technologies from the global North combine with local forms to create new approaches to social control in cities across the global South.</div> </div>

Changing plans for America's inner cities
Cincinnati, Over-the-Rhine, bidonville, aménagement urbain, quartier défavorisé, quartier dégradé, centre-ville, voisinage, renouvellement urbain, histoire de l'urbanisme, politique de la ville, twentieth century, vingtième siècle, Miller Zane L., Tucker Bruce
<b>Abstract from the publisher :</b></div>
</div>
Cincinnati’s historic Over-the-Rhine neighborhood began in the nineteenth century as a nonelite suburb and became in the twentieth century an inner-city slum, burdened with a broad range of problems characteristic of such places everywhere in the United States. As Zane L. Miller and Bruce Tucker point out, however, Over-the-Rhine’s history is also the history of planning for both inner-city neighborhoods and big-city downtowns. Beginning in the 1920s, Cincinnati’s government and civic leaders explored the entire repertoire of policies and programs considered or implemented in cities throughout the country for such closed-in neighborhoods. The first set of attempts included schemes for comprehensive planning, zoning, slum clearance, redevelopment, and neighborhood conservation and rehabilitation.<br />
<br />
Over-the-Rhine survived this first assault on the slums, but at mid-century a new understanding of the city generated different visions of Over-the-Rhine’s future and long and bitter fights for control of that future. While factions fought, the neighborhood deteriorated, and by the 1990s it was one of the poorest and most violent parts of the city. The story ends with a double irony: the adoption of an Over-the-Rhine “urban renewal” plan that endorsed a ghettoish status quo; and the murder of Buddy Gray, the city's premier white community organizer, by a mentally troubled man whom Gray had rescued from the streets and befriended.<br />
<br />
Miller and Tucker look beyond the fight over slums to illuminate other issues in American civilization. They focus on changing concepts of culture, neighborhood, and community as dynamic factors, and basic components of city planning. Changing Plans for America’s Inner Cities is essential reading for anyone concerned with the future of urban neighborhoods.<br />

<p class="bold">Les transformations de Paris photographiées sous le Second Empire.</p>
Il est difficile d’imaginer aujourd’hui ce qu’était Paris avant 1850. Encore en grande partie médiéval, son cœur était encombré et le plus souvent misérable.</div>
<br />
L’état de nombreux quartiers imposera à Napoléon III, avec l’aide de son fidèle préfet le baron Haussmann, de transformer la ville en une capitale moderne. Ce sont ces transformations que Charles Marville est chargé de photographier pour le compte de la Ville de Paris, tant pour conserver une trace historique des quartiers à jamais détruits que pour montrer les nouvelles réalisations : rues, boulevards, monuments, mobilier urbain.</div>
<br />
La chance de Marville fut d’avoir été le témoin privilégié de l’un des bouleversements les plus importants de l’Histoire de Paris. Notre chance est que ses photographies nous soient parvenues et nous permettent de replonger, grâce à cet ouvrage, dans ce vieux Paris si attachant et si poétique.</div>

<div><b>Abstract from the publisher:</b></div> </div> Cities and Social Equity is a report by the Urban Age research team with commissioned pieces from Ipsos MORI, United Nations Institute for the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders (ILANUD), the Centre for Metropolitan Studies (CEM), Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV) and the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism at the Mackenzie Presbyterian University. In 2008, the Urban Age undertook and commissioned research on the five largest cities in South America (São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Bogotá and Lima), which culminated in the Urban Age South America conference in São Paulo in December 2008.<br /> <br /> With a combined population of nearly 60 million and dramatic growth in recent decades, these five cities are places of mix, change and extreme polarisation which can be destabilising, inhumane and wasteful of resources. Cities and Social Equity assesses the impact of inequality in an urban context with comparative research and data collection in the five cities (including innovative mapping of inequality to identify the pockets of privilege and deprivation in each city). While the research work commissioned in the report has a specific focus on the problems facing São Paulo, the region's pre-eminent city, their findings have wider resonance for cities throughout the world. <br /> <br /> Urban Age Research Team: Philipp Rode, Ricky Burdett, Richard Brown, Frederico Ramos, Kay Kitazawa, Antoine Paccoud, and Natznet Tesfay.<br /> <br /> São Paulo Lead Investigators: Paula Miraglia, Eduardo Marques, Ciro Biderman, Nadia Somekh, Carlos Leite de Souza.</div> </div> <b>Contents:</b></div> </div> 1.

<b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div>
</div>
CITIES the magazine highlights urban issues and invites discussion on global trends, regional responses and local practice. It connects writers, thinkers, artists, designers and photographers in a common dialogue about city life and city futures.</div>
</div>
<b>In our opinion...</b></div>
</div>
CITIES is an attractive, beautifully-photographed and presented magazine, with a non-academic focus. It is unclear how frequently new issues of the magazine will appear. The current pilot issue featured on the site is on the topic of industrial renewal. Issues can be viewed via an online reader, with selected articles available for download in PDF format.</div>

Cities with 'slums': From informal settlement eradication to a right to the city in Africa
, bidonville, quartier informel, informal settlement, renouvellement urbain, politique urbaine, droit à la ville, Africa, Afrique, slum clearance, Huchzermeyer Marie, habitants
<div><b>Organisers' description:</b></div> </div> The UN’s Development target to improve the lives of 100 million ‘slum’ dwellers has been inappropriately communicated as a target to free cities of slums. Cities with ‘Slums’: from informal settlement eradication to a right to the city in Africa traces the proliferation of this misunderstanding across several African countries, and explains how current urban policy, with its heightened focus on urban competitiveness and associated urban policy norms, encourages this interpretation. The cases it presents cover a range of conflicts between urban residents and the local and national authorities that seek to curtail their ‘right to the city’.<br /> <br /> It offers disturbing insights into post-apartheid South Africa’s urban trajectory, with uneasy parallels in other African countries, both in the form of ‘slum’ eradication drives and in ambitious, but flawed, flagship pilot projects.<br /> <br /> The book aims to inspire a wider understanding of, sympathy for and solidarity with struggles against informal settlement eradication in South Africa and beyond, and argues that the right to the city, in its original conception, has direct relevance for urban contestations in Africa today.</div> </div> <b>Marie Huchzermeyer</b> is Associate Professor in the School of Architecture and Planning at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.</div> </div>

Comment reconstruire la ville avec les habitants ?
participation, rénovation urbaine, renouvellement urbain, citadin, Grenoble, Echirolle
<div><strong>Présentation par le diffuseur :</strong><br />
<br />
Dans ce film de 8 minutes des témoignages d'habitants, de techniciens de collectivités locales ou des bailleurs sociaux donnent un éclairage sur des modalités de participation des habitants aux opérations de renouvellement urbain.<br />
<br />
A partir des exemples du Village 2 à Echirolles ou du quartier Teisseire à Grenoble, émergent un certain nombre d'enjeux et de questions. Qui est représentatif ou pas ? Quelle sera la mixité sociale une fois la rénovation faite ? Quelles sont les modalités de relogement ? S'agit-il de retoucher que l'extérieur ? Quelles finitions ?</div>
