Futures of cities : 51st IFHP world congress
subject: , planification, développement durable, développement urbain, aménagement urbain, aménagement de l'espace, infrastructures, logement
description: Organisers' description : The year 2007 marks a shift to an urban era, an era in which more than half of the world’s population lives in cities. This fact is making many headlines. But what are its implications? How will this impact the futures of cities? Over a century ago, the Danish journalist and photographer Jacob A. Riis gave us How the Other Half Lives, shedding light on the plight oftenement dwellers — people who had moved to the city in search of a better life. Today, we again need to address how this urban half lives. How are we to plan, build, budget, negotiate, develop, promote, govern, service, use, embrace and secure a myriad of different sustainable urban futures? We now call upon policy-makers, practitioners and researchers from the public, private and academic sectors to share their predictions and proposals for the futures of cities! As our urban numbers increase, so do the questions: What are the impacts? On the cityscape, on the countryside, on the built environment,on where we work, where you live, and where Peter plays? What are the indicators? Recent findings, current trends! Hard facts, future figures! What is the measure of urban quality, of adequate housing? What are current construction rates? What are theforecasts for 2030? What implementations are being made? What is being done to tackle rising urbanization? What policies, plans, and programs are being enacted? Who is doing it, and how are things getting done? Session topics : Planning for climate change Space and demographic changes Housing and welfare Public realm and mobility Planning for healthy cities Building green cities Welfare policies in a global perspective Why large scale projects? Housing and planning between state and market Urban liveability Art in cities and planning The art of creative city making Dutch dilemma : Expanding housing in a shrinking world Impacts, indicators, implementations in a Danish context Sustainable futures for megacities Construction of urban identit…

Urban ethnography : Its traditions and its future
subject: ethnographie, ethnologie, délinquance, emploi, société urbaine, sociologie urbaine, immigration, migrant, Anderson Elijah
description: From the introduction by Elijah Anderson : The articles collected in this special issue are based on papers presented at the Yale Urban Ethnography Conference, ‘Urban Ethnography: Its Traditions and Its Future’, held at Yale University in the spring of 2008. The ethnographic ﬁeld study is founded on the observation and rendering of nuance, texture, and the lives of the subjects.Informed by sociological theory, the ethnographer employs a careful, bottom-up approach to ﬁeld observations and representations of how people are actually living their everyday lives, interacting with others, making decisions, and understanding their own social situations (Junker and Hughes, 1960). This research yields qualitative data which then enriches our understanding of existing theories and provides the groundwork for the development of new concepts, informing future study. Sustained ethnographic ﬁeldwork aims at accumulating a store of ‘local knowledge’ (Geertz, 1983) and takes seriously the study of the ways in which ordinary people make sense of their social worlds, and navigate within them. These basic ethnographic questions persist and guide us: how do city dwellers go about meeting the exigencies of their everyday lives; what is their interpretation and ‘deﬁnition of the situation’; and how ultimately do they make sense of their social worlds? In addressing these concerns, exciting newresearch by accomplished younger ﬁeldworkers and reﬂections by established ethnographers are brought together in this special issue. Contents : Elijah Anderson - Introduction Gerald D. Jaynes, David E. Apter, Herbert J. Gans, Ruth Horowitz, William Kornblum and James F.

The new urban question : Urbanism beyond neo-liberalism
subject: , néolibéralisme, urbanisation, culture urbaine, croissance urbaine, développement urbain, économie, société urbaine, développement durable, forme urbaine, métropolisation, gouvernance, aménagement urbain
description: Organisers' description : “The New Urban Question – Urbanism beyond Neo-liberalism” is the title of the 4th Conference of the International Forum on Urbanism (IFoU) that will take place from November 26th to 28th, 2009 at Zuiderkerk in Amsterdam and Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). The theme of the conference is about the recovery of the discipline of Urbanism under the conditions of urbanization and urban transformation, ecological threats and economical crises. More than 35 years after the publication of La Question Urbaine by Manuel Castells the urban question has to be asked anew. In the meantime the world is experiencing the fastest urbanization in history of man. Never before has human society gone through a comparable process of urban growth, nor have cities expanded as today. Within a few decennia new mega-cities or even meta-cities arose that are confronting the world with new urban cultures, with increasing social contradictions and with new and unknown environmental threats. On the other hand, more than half of the urban population worldwide is living in middle-sized cities up to 500.000 inhabitants that have become the major catchment areas for future population growth. For decennia urban development has been dominated by a globalizing economy and almost unlimited market demands. While economic power more and more became concentrated in global command centers, the influence of public planning decreased in the framework of governmental decentralization. However, the recent economical crisis has shown the limits of growth under the conditions of neo-liberalism. New models for urban development, new concepts for urban design and new approaches for planning and management are demanded that are able to guide the processes of extension and transformation of cities and regions, to bridge social contradictions, to combat segregation and fragmentation and to face the ecological challenges. With other words: The discipline of Urbanism has to be rediscove…

Area-based initiatives in contemporary urban policy : EURA conference
subject: , politique de la ville, politique urbaine, gouvernance, gestion locale, insertion, immigration, emploi, rénovation urbaine, participation
description: Organisers' description : Many contemporary European urban policy initiatives emphasise an area-based approach, which also aims to involve the community in planning and implementation of projects. There is a recognised need to strengthen the democratic element, further social inclusion, integrate social, employment, cultural, and physical regeneration components, and to promote urban renewal for the existing residents, rather than to gentrify. Does this signal a break with previous more sector-organised initiatives and the birth of a new coherent and integrated urban policy better suited to tackle the complex social and economic challenges of the city of the 21 Century? What challenges and barriers confront efforts to rethink city governance? Do participatory methods and partnerships in community involvement render superfluous the traditional democratic models of urban government? Are they better or do they pose new problems in terms of lack of legitimate democratic representation? The aim of the conference is to bring forward recent European and international research and experience regarding the effects of the new generation of urban policy initiatives both emphasising theoretical debate and empirical findings. Session topics : Workshop 1. Participation and community involvement in planning and implementation of urban policy projects and programmes Workshop 2: Challenge to policy and administration of an integrated and comprehensive approach in urban policy Workshop 3: EU Urban Policy vis à vis the development of new practices in the urban policy of European towns and cities Workshop 4: Employment issues, immigration and social inclusion in the neighbourhood. Stigmatisation, image of deprived neighbourhoods, the role of business in the neighbourhood Workshop 5: Models of partnerships and collaborative planning efforts Workshop 6: Methodological issues related to the measurement and evaluation of the effects of urban improvement programmes.

Reconciliation through reintegration?
subject: , aménagement urbain, mixité sociale, ségrégation sociale, ségrégation urbaine, voisinage, conflit urbain, interaction sociale, intégration, Beirut, Beyrouth
description: Abstract from the author : Reconciliation through reintegration? : a study on spatial proximity and social relations in two post-civil war Beirut neighborhoods. Although the Lebanese Civil War ended in 1991 and Beirut became a reunified city, much of it remains divided between a Christian East and a Muslim West. Beyond certain parts of the capital, many of its residential neighborhoods remain almost entirely religiously homogeneous. This study takes an in-depth look at two neighborhoods undergoing sectarian integration. Relying on neighborhood observations and face-to-face interviews with over 30 residents, it highlights the reasons that residents have chosen to reside in non-co-religious neighborhoods. Factors facilitating sectarian residential integration seem to include a past history in the neighborhood, historical ownership of assets in the area, appealing neighborhood attributes, affordability, and location (vis a vis other destinations and activities). Mixing appears to be a function of larger dynamics as well, such as the rising price of real estate that excludes many groups from other desirable areas. This study reveals that rising real estate prices in and around Beirut are driving people to reside in more affordable, yet non-co-religious neighborhoods. I analyze the extent to which and under what conditions spatial proximity actually leads to social relations between non-co-religionists. Integration alone does not seem to guarantee interaction. Factors limiting cross-sectarian interaction within the same neighborhood appear to include an absence of neighborhood attachment and identification, high levels of personal activity in other locations, involuntary or temporary relocation, and co-religious clustering. Factors facilitating the production of cross-sectarian social relations within a neighborhood include high levels of neighborhood engagement and activity, experience growing up in a mixed neighborhood, attendance at a religiously-mixed school, and wea…

The resurgent city

description: The majority of the papers presented at the 2004 conference 'The resurgent city', held at the London School of Economics, are available for download as PDF files. Organisers' description : This Leverhulme-funded international symposium aims to engender a new debate about: * the implications of the much heralded resurgence of cities in advanced societies, and * what is actually required to realise this goal on a sustained basis, in different kinds of places. Its starting point is the widespread consensus across academic and policy communities that globalisation, more intense quality-based competition and the rise of the knowledge economy are restoring the economic role of face-to-face contact - and thus of cities, as offering the richest possibilities for such interaction. Behind this consensus, different views about the key characteristics of successfully resurgent cities, point to real tensions in the ways that cities may develop, and many unanswered questions about how such resurgence is to be achieved in practice. The focus of this meeting is on addressing these unanswered questions through interaction between researchers and practitioners from different disciplines and perspectives. The aim is to build the basis for more productive co-operative work on these issues across the academic and policy communities, rather than to achieve instant fixes for either the intellectual or practical problems. List of papers : The argument for resurgence - Pierre Veltz The Resilience of US cities: Decline and Resurgence in the late 20th Century - Robert A Beauregard A tale of two Victorian cities: Glasgow & Melbourne - Duncan Maclennan Explaining urban resurgence: can our theories do any better? - Michael Storper How better to use existing infrastructure resources - lessons from charging and transport infrastructure management - Stephen Glaister Infrastructure and the Path-Dependant City - Eran Ben-Joseph Reauthorization: Getting Transportation Right for Metropolitan America - …

Disconnected from society? Gated communities : their lifestyle versus urban governance
subject: , ségrégation résidentielle, ségrégation sociale, gated communities, interaction sociale, sécurité, , fragmentation sociale, gouvernance, identité, citadin, délinquance, sociologie urbaine, société urbaine, Smets Peer
description: Abstract from the publisher : Today there is a widespread fear of crime on a global scale. This can be seen as a response to social inequalities, social polarisation and the fragmentation of cities, which has to a large extent been caused by neo-liberalism. Worldwide, an increasing number of middle and high-income groups have looked to security measures, such as cameras, fences, walls and gates, to separate themselves from other people in the city. These physical measures, in combination with hired guards, replace the ‘older’ social control mechanisms, which are based on social cohesion within the community concerned. One may question whether those living in gated ‘communities’ indeed feel responsible for other urbanites. In other words, will such a hard closure (physically-marked segregation) lead to soft closure, reflected in social-cultural and political segregation? What is the impact of the lifestyle(s) of those living in gated communities on the dynamics of the city, urban identity and urban governance? Peer Smets is assistant professor at the department of sociology, VU University Amsterdam and has recently co-edited the special issue ‘Countering Urban Segregation’ of Urban Studies. Nowadays, he publishes on neighbourhood dynamics in Amsterdam and interethnic contacts at the neighbourhood level.

Articles : Berlin, capitale alternative Le processus est long qui mène de la destruction et du démantèlement de la capitale du IIIe Reich à l’émergence d’une capitale culturelle au rayonnement mondial. A Berlin, ce rayonnement ne se produit pas à l’endroit où on l’attend dans les autres capitales européennes. Il s’appuie sur des pratiques culturelles dites "alternatives", ailleurs considérées comme secondaires ou ne relevant pas d’une "vraie culture", puériles. Potsdamer Platz : l’envers du décor De no man’s land pendant la Guerre froide, la Potsdamer Platz est redevenue une centralité majeure dans l’espace berlinois. Mais derrière le symbole que représente cette place, les objectifs qui ont présidé à l’aménagement du quartier et la façon dont ce dernier a été produit doivent être interrogés.

Paris et le bassin parisien
subject: , territoire, métropole, mobilité, économie, Paris, bassin parisien, DIACT
description: Présentation par l'éditeur : En 2007, la Diact publiait « Une région de projets : l’avenir de Paris » de Paul Chemetov et Frédéric Gilli. Cette étude explorait la question du centre de la métropole parisienne dans le contexte de profondes mutations économiques en cours à l’échelle de la planète. Ce travail s’inscrivait dans une réflexion plus générale nourrie par un ensemble d’études aujourd’hui disponibles dans leur intégralité et synthétisées. Une première partie des travaux porte sur l’existence et l’intensité d’éléments caractéristiques d’un fonctionnement métropolitain au sein du Bassin parisien dans trois domaines : les différentes formes de mobilités des personnes et des entreprises ; les partenariats scientifiques et les mises en réseau d’établissements d’enseignement supérieur et de recherche ; les espaces spécialisés du Bassin parisien et la localisation d’éventuelles filières économiques. Dans une autre partie des travaux, on se demande si la région capitale peut, sans conséquences sur son attractivité, rester à l’écart du mouvement de constitution de très grandes régions urbaines en réseaux observé en différents points de la planète ; et en quoi la constitution de tels ensembles modifie les termes de la concurrence entre les métropoles de rang mondial. L’objectif est de mieux comprendre la nature des enjeux à relever pour permettre à Paris de rester au plus haut niveau d’excellence et d’attractivité, ainsi que les réponses à élaborer pour y parvenir.

Ambiance(s). Ville, architecture, paysages
subject: ambiances, architecture, paysage
description: Présentation de l'éditeur : Qu’est-ce qu’une ambiance ? Nous sommes tous sensibles à la perception immédiate d’un lieu, parfois "saisis" par son ambiance : lumières, sons, matières, flux, présences, échelle, volumes… nous partageons ces expériences sensibles sans difficulté, et pourtant la notion d’ambiance échappe à toute définition formelle. Depuis plus de 15 ans, la recherche architecturale et urbaine s’intéresse aux ambiances, domaine aujourd’hui en plein essor interdisciplinaire et international. Car "faire une ambiance", n’est-ce pas une finalité pour tout projet architectural et nombre de projets culturels ?

description: Présentation par l'éditeur : Sur une idée de l’Etablissement Public d’Aménagement de La Défense Seine Arche, les Editions Parenthèses ont décidé de publier un Dictionnaire et un Atlas de La Défense dont le but est de retracer l’histoire de l’Opération d’Intérêt National depuis ses origines en 1951 à nos jours. La construction du CNIT en 1958 marquant dans les esprits les débuts du projet. Ces ouvrages sont le fruit d'un travail scientifique et cartographique mené sous la direction de Pierre Chabard, architecte et historien, docteur en architecture, enseignant à l’Ecole nationale supérieure d’architecture, de la ville et des territoires, Marne-la-Vallée, directeur de l’Observatoire de la condition suburbaine (OCS), membre de l’UMR Ausser, et de Virginie Picon-Lefebvre, architecte-urbaniste, docteur en histoire, enseignant à l’Ecole nationale supérieure d’architecture Paris-Malaquais, membre fondateur du laboratoire Infrastructure, Architecture, Territoire (Liat) et de l’agence ARAV. Créée il y a plus d’un demi-siècle, La Défense se trouve durablement inscrite dans la métropole francilienne. Fruit des ambitions de l’après-guerre, elle a traversé les Trente Glorieuses et a évolué au rythme de la société française. A travers cent vingt-huit notices illustrées, le Dictionnaire retrace l’histoire de ce territoire exceptionnel qui d’une rive à l’autre de la Seine prolonge l’axe majeur de Paris. Historiens, architectes, urbanistes, ingénieurs, sociologues, économistes… quarante-trois auteurs analysent La Défense sous trois angles principaux : architectural et urbain, social et culturel, politique et économique. Au moyen d’une collection de documents et photographies, d’une frise chronologique et d’une série de cartes historiques et thématiques, l’Atlas synthétise, quant à lui, cette histoire en un récit visuel.
