Lost landscapes of Detroit
histoire urbaine, géographie urbaine, ville en déclin, patrimoine urbain, Detroit
LOST LANDSCAPES OF DETROIT; an eclectic montage of rediscovered and rarely-seen archival film clips exhibiting life; cityscapes, labor and leisure from ‘vanishing Detroit’, as captured by amateurs, newsreel cameramen and industrial filmmakers from the 1920’s to the 1960’s. Lost Landscapes aims to offer Detroiters imagery of Detroit's past, free from any sense of nostalgia, in an attempt to provide subject for contemplation as the people of the city build towards a new future.
“How we remember and record the past reveals much about how we address the future” points out archivist Rick Prelinger, who will be on hand to preface the screening with a brief talk on the value of ephemeral films, on the changing nature of historical memory, and what consequences will arise from the emerging massive matrix of personal records.

Colin Gordon, "Mapping decline : St. Louis and the fate of the American city" : New books in history
St Louis, États-Unis, United States, ville en déclin, histoire urbaine, décroissance, centre-ville, SIG, race, Gordon Colin, Poe Marshall
<div><b>Abstract from the distributor : </b></div>
</div>
This week we have Professor Colin Gordon of the University of Iowa on the show talking about his new book Mapping Decline: St. Louis and the Fate of the American City (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2008). Professor Gordon is the author of two previous monographs, Dead on Arrival: The Politics of Health Care in Twentieth Century America (Princeton University Press, 2004) and New Deals: Business, Labor, and Politics in America, 1920-1935 (Cambridge University Press, 1994). Mapping Decline breaks new ground not only in our understanding of the decay of the American inner-city, but also in its use of quantitative data in combination with GIS mapping technologies. The book is full of beautiful maps that paint a vivid, if somewhat depressing, picture of American urban history. Philip J. Ethington of the University of Southern California calls Mapping Decline “a searing indictment of policymakers, realtors, and mortgage lenders for deliberate decisions that sacrificed their own city of St. Louis on the altar of race.” That it is.</div>

Déclin et survie des grandes villes américaines
ville en déclin, aménagement urbain, cadre de vie, habitants, dynamiques urbaines, Etats-Unis, Jacobs Jane
<div><b>Présentation par l'éditeur :</b></div>
</div>
« Les villes forment un immense laboratoire pour faire des expériences, commettre des erreurs, échouer ou réussir en matière d’architecture et d’aménagement urbain. C’est dans ce laboratoire que l’urbanisme aurait dû étudier, concevoir et expérimenter des théories. Au lieu de cela, les hommes de l’art et les enseignants de cette discipline (si l’on peut dire) ont fait abstraction du succès ou de l’échec des opérations réalisées et ne se sont nullement préoccupés de rechercher les raisons des réussites inattendues. Ils se sont laissés guider par des principes inspirés du fonctionnement et de l’aspect de localités de moindre importance, de banlieues, de sanatoriums, de foires expositions, de cités de rêve, en bref de tout sauf de villes véritables. Il n’est donc pas étonnant, dans ces conditions, de constater que les secteurs rénovés des villes ainsi que les constructions neuves qui s’étendent interminablement au-delà de leurs limites sont en train de transformer la ville et la campagne en un même brouet insipide. »</div>
<br />
Jane Jacobs, remarquable observatrice de la ville contemporaine, passe au crible les grandes questions urbaines (rue et sécurité, espaces verts, grands ensembles…) en analysant la façon dont les habitants ressentent leur quotidien. Vibrant plaidoyer pour la diversité et la vitalité urbaines, The Death and Life of Great American Cities, paru en 1961, continue de rencontrer un accueil exceptionnel auprès du grand public et d’alimenter les controverses autour des visions parfois opposées entre usagers de la ville et professionnels.</div>

Sunburnt cities : The great recession, depopulation and urban planning in the American sunbelt
tats-Unis, sunbelt, ville en déclin, décroissance, aménagement urbain, développement urbain, Hollander Justin, politique urbaine
<div><b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div>
</div>
In recent years there has been a growing focus on urban and environmental studies, and the skills and techniques needed to address the wider challenges of how to create sustainable communities. Central to that demand is the increasing urgency of addressing the issue of urban decline, and the response has almost always been to pursue growth policies to attempt to reverse that decline. The track record of growth policies has been mixed at best.<br />
<br />
Until the first decade of the twenty-first century decline was assumed to be an issue only for former industrial cities – the so-called Rust Belt. But the sudden reversal in growth in the major cities of the American Sunbelt has shown that urban decline can be a much wider issue. Justin Hollander’s research into urban decline in both the Sun and Rust Belts draws lessons planners and policy makers that can be applied universally.<br />
<br />
Hollander addresses the reasons and statistics behind these "shrinking cities" with a positive outlook, arguing that growth for growth’s sake is not beneficial for communities, suggesting instead that urban development could be achieved through shrinkage. Case studies on Phoenix, Flint, Orlando and Fresno support the argument, and Hollander delves into the numbers, literature and individual lives affected and how they have changed in response to the declining regions.<br />
<br />
Written for urban scholars and to suit a wide range of courses focused on contemporary urban studies, this text forms a base for all study on shrinking cities for professionals, academics and students in urban design, planning, public administration and sociology.</div>

Gary, the most American of all American cities
Gary, ville industrielle, industrial city, aménagement urbain, ville en déclin, histoire de l'urbanisme, utopie, capitalisme, O'Hara S. Paul, États-Unis, United States
<div><b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div> </div> U.S. Steel created Gary, Indiana. The new steel plant and town built on the site in 1906 were at once a triumph of industrial capitalism and a bold experiment in urban planning. Gary became the canvas onto which the American public projected its hopes and fears about modern, industrial society. In its prime, Gary was known as “the magic city,” “steel’s greatest achievement,” and “an industrial utopia”; later it would be called “the very model of urban decay.” S. Paul O’Hara traces this stark reversal of fortune and reveals America’s changing expectations. He delivers a riveting account of the boom or bust mentality of American industrialism from the turn of the 20th century to the present day.</div> </div> <b>S.

Villes et régions européennes en décroissance : maintenir la cohésion territoriale
décroissance, ville en déclin, politique publique, gouvernance, démographie, Europe
<div><b>Présentation par l'éditeur :</b></div>
</div>
L’Europe devrait connaître une des croissances démographiques mondiales les plus faibles dans les années à venir. Cette évolution, conjuguée avec des recompositions économiques de grande ampleur, a un impact sur les dynamiques régionales et urbaines. L’apparition d’une décroissance au niveau de villes et de régions entières vient s’ajouter aux disparités de développement, qui sont traditionnellement au coeur de la politique de cohésion de l’Union Européenne. Cela conduit à repenser les politiques au niveau régional et local dans leurs dimensions économique, sociale, environnementale et territoriale.</div>
</div>
Les réponses au problème de la décroissance exigent un changement de paradigme dans la conduite des politiques publiques et passent par la mise en place de formes de gouvernance multi-scalaires. Cet ouvrage fait un état des lieux des processus de décroissance en Europe, en articulant niveaux régional, local mais aussi urbain. Il étudie également les stratégies et les politiques mises en place dans différents contextes pour lutter contre un tel déclin.<br />

Détroit, vestiges du rêve américain
Détroit, ville en déclin, ruine, ville industrielle, patrimoine architectural, Marchand Yves, Meffre Romain

</div>
Au début du 20ème siècle avec l'invention des chaînes d'assemblage, Détroit devient rapidement la capitale mondiale de l'automobile, et l'une des villes les plus prospères des Etats-Unis avant de connaître un déclin dramatique. Depuis les années 60, principalement à cause de la désindustrialisation, la ville surnommée "Motor City" a perdu plus de la moitié de sa population. Le temps semble s'y être arrêté...</div>
<br />
Il en résulte un paysage marqué par des édifices colossaux, symboles de l'architecture américaine du début du vingtième siècle et désormais à l'abandon : autrefois magasins, appartements, hôtels de luxe ou encore théâtres, aujourd'hui ruines fabuleuses.<br />
<br />
C'est cette vision grandiose et terrifiante du déclin d'un véritable empire que Yves Marchand et Romain Meffre, deux photographes, âgés respectivement de 29 et 23 ans et travaillant en duo nous présente dans leur dernière série "Détroit, vestiges du rêve américain".</div>
<br />
Pratiquant ce qu'ils appellent "l'archéologie urbaine et industrielle", ces deux photographes passionnés de ruines et plus particulièrement celles du XIXème et du siècle dernier, ont su arrêter l'attention de Gerhard Steidl et faire l'événement lors du dernier salon "Paris-Photo".</div>

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?

Reimagining Detroit : Opportunities for redefining an American city
, renouvellement urbain, développement urbain, développement durable, décroissance, gouvernance, ville en déclin, Detroit, Gallagher John
<div><b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div> </div> Experts estimate that perhaps forty square miles of Detroit are vacant—from a quarter to a third of the city —a level of emptiness that creates a landscape unlike any other big city. Author John Gallagher, who has covered urban redevelopment for the Detroit Free Press for two decades, spent a year researching what is going on in Detroit precisely because of its open space and the dire economic times we face. Instead of presenting another account of the city’s decline, Reimagining Detroit: Opportunities for Redefining an American City showcases the innovative community-building work happening in the city and focuses on what else can be done to make Detroit leaner, greener, and more economically self-sufficient.<br /> <br /> Gallagher conducted numerous interviews, visited community projects, and took many of the photographs that accompany the text to uncover some of the strategies that are being used, and could be used in the future, to make twenty-first century Detroit a more sustainable and desirable place to live. Some of the topics Gallagher discusses are urban agriculture, restoring vacant lots, reconfiguring Detroit’s overbuilt road network, and reestablishing some of the city’s original natural landscape. He also investigates new models for governing the city and fostering a more entrepreneurial economy to ensure a more stable political and economic future. Along the way, Gallagher introduces readers to innovative projects that are already under way in the city and proposes other models for possible solutions—from as far away as Dresden, Germany, and Seoul, South Korea, and as close to home as Philadelphia and Youngstown—to complement current efforts.<br /> <br /> Ultimately, Gallagher helps to promote progressive ideas and the community leaders advancing them and offers guidance for other places dealing with the shrinking cities phenomenon. Readers interested in urban studies and environmental issues will enjoy the fresh perspective of Reimagining Detroit.</div> </div> <b>John Gallagher</b> is a veteran journalist who writes about urban and economic development for the Detroit Free Press.</div> </div>

The future of shrinking cities : Problems, patterns and strategies of urban transformation
, décroissance, ville en déclin, planification, mutation urbaine, politique urbaine, aménagement urbain
Full title : The future of shrinking cities : Problems, patterns and strategies of urban transformation in a global context</div>
</div>
<b>Abstract from the publisher : </b></div>
</div>
This publication is the outcome of a symposium held at UC Berkeley in February 2007, organized by the Center for Global Metropolitan Studies at the Institute of Urban and Regional Development, UC Berkeley. It brought together urban and regional planners, architects, engineers, developers, artists, and academics to examine the perspectives of a largely underrepresented topic: shrinking cities.<br />
<br />
The Future of Shrinking Cities: Problems, Patterns, and Strategies of Urban Transformation in a Global Context presents research carried out under the aegis of the Shrinking Cities International Research Network (SCiRN) and – in addition – selected case studies from the United States. The purpose of the publication is to encourage and inform discussion to improve the quality of life in shrinking cities. The authors identify and examine critical projects and issues in shrinking cities and present lessons learned from relevant projects and experiences in the US and abroad. The comparative approach to shrinking cities, incorporating a wide range of case studies in order to widen the debate, is both unique and innovative.<br />
<br />
The shrinking city phenomenon is a multidimensional process, comprising cities, parts of cities, or entire metropolitan areas that have experienced dramatic decline in their economic and social bases. Thus, urban shrinkage is often a challenge on the wide scale of metropolitan regions and requires policy-makers to redefine traditional paths of regional governance. Urban decline and the loss of employment opportunities are closely linked in a downward spiral, leading to an out-migration of population.<br />
<br />
The joint work places shrinking cities in a global perspective, setting the context for in-depth comparisons of selected cities considering specific social, economic, environmental, cultural, and land-use issues. Especially in the United States, planning practice is to a large extent concentrated on either managing urban growth or tackling redevelopment in a fragmented – not a regional – way, despite the fact that in many metropolitan regions urban shrinkage reaches beyond individual cities. In this regard, the papers will help initiate a redefinition of regional governance in the U.S. and also in the other participating countries via comparative research on shrinking cities.</div>
