Catalogue des données socio-économiques de la Métropole Parisienne. Représentations cartographiques
métropole parisienne, cartographie, représentations, démographie, logement, économie, politiques urbaines, caractéristiques sociologiques, caractéristiques socio-professionnelles
Une des missions de l’Apur est d’analyser les évolutions sociétales. C’est notamment dans le cadre des Observatoires auxquels l’Atelier est associé que sont menées des réflexions sur la famille, l’habitat, le logement, le développement économique et commercial ou encore l’évolution des quartiers défavorisés, la pauvreté et l’exclusion.
Les études issues de ces travaux ont en commun de reposer sur un socle statistique qui met en évidence l’évolution de certains faits et en donne presque toujours une représentation cartographique.
Les cartes réunies dans cet ouvrage sont de différentes natures : cartes d’analyse ou cartes de synthèse. L’ambition n’est pas de constituer un inventaire exhaustif mais de donner à voir la variété des thèmes et des représentations possibles à partir des études ou des notes récentes de l’Apur. Chaque carte est accompagnée de mentions sur la source, le champ géographique, la disponibilité des données et la méthodologie.

Cities and time
environnement, croissance urbaine, mondialisation, économie, développement urbain, migration urbaine, bidonville, squat, urbanisation, pauvreté
Cities are the human organizations with the greatest longevity but also the fastest rate of change. Just now the world is going massively and unstoppably urban (governments everywhere are trying to stop it, with zero success). In a globalized world, city states are re-emerging as a dominant economic player. Environmental consequences and opportunities abound.
Cities are humanity’s longest-lived organizations (Jericho dates back 10,500 years), but also the most constantly changing. Even in Europe they consume 2-3% of their material fabric a year, which means a wholly new city every 50 years. In the US and the developing world it’s much faster.
Every week in the world a million new people move to cities. In 2007 50% of our 6.5 billion population will live in cities. In 1800 it was 3% of the total population then. In 1900 it was 14%. In 2030 it’s expected to be 61%. This is a tipping point. We’re becoming a city planet.
One of the effects of globalization is to empower cities more and more. Communications and economic activities bypass national boundaries. With many national governments in the developing world discredited, corporations and NGOs go direct to where the markets, the workers, and the needs are, in the cities. Every city is becoming a “world city." At present there’s little awareness among environmentalists that growing cities are where the action and opportunities are, and there’s little scientific data being collected. I think a large-scale, long-term environmental strategy for urbanization is needed, two-pronged. One, take advantage of the emptying countryside (where the trees and other natural systems are growing back fast) and preserve, protect, and restore those landscape in a way that will retain their health when people eventually move back. Two, bear down on helping the growing cities to become more humane to live in and better related to the natural systems around them. Don’t fight the squatters. Join them.

Tipping points in urban change: Modern perspectives on agents of urbanization
modernisation, mutation urbaine, histoire urbaine, économie, Seoul, Detroit, aménagement urbain
This symposium considered the similarities and differences in the histories of urban modernization in cities during the late 19th through the early 21st century—with a look at global cities now under construction or in the planning stages. The particular focus was on the composition of elites, local versus international economic and political agendas, and the science and technologies involved.

<div><b>Présentation par le diffuseur :<br />

</div>
En un siècle, le nombre de citadins a été multiplié par douze. Aujourd'hui un habitant de la planète sur deux réside en ville (3,3 milliards). Multiplication et expansion conjointes des mégalopoles et des bidonvilles, augmentation des problèmes environnementaux, de mobilité, d'accès aux logements... tels sont les effets visibles de l'urbanisation de la planète. Ce nouveau paysage ne révèle pas seulement la croissance massive de la population urbaine ; il modifie également l'économie, la société, la culture. Mais où s'arrêtera la ville ?<br />

Urban unrest, social resentment and justice

<div><b>Abstract from the distributor:</b></div>
</div>
The recent events in several cities across the UK, and more widely in Europe, have raised fundamental questions about the legitimacy of public programs, the crisis-prone nature of economies and ongoing resentment and anger at social inequality and injustice. Despite frequent political and media pronouncements of organised criminality, grounded examinations of riots in the UK and elsewhere highlight how social inequality, policing practices, the embedding of consumption orientations and feelings of injustice have produced social danger and violence in excluded localities. Nuanced, empirically founded and critical accounts are needed of these events. This conference, organised by CURB, sought to contextualise urban unrest within broader, structural concerns around economic decline, social injustice and criminal cultures. The cohesion of many, apparently ‘broken’ communities, and their capacity to regain control and promote safety belie on-going anger and resentment at corporate excess, media misconduct and political illegitimacy. The meeting explored these issues in detail and provided a space to debate the broader causes and consequences of these events.</div>

Generosity of cities: Arts, humanities, and the city

<div><b>Abstract from the distributor:</b></div>
</div>
Placing the arts at the heart of the civic realm is essential to a rich and vibrant city. With rapid urbanization, the arts and humanities serve as indicators of the health and vigor of urban communities and civic life. The diversity of artistic and cultural forms in an urban landscape creates a force for change, a gesture of generosity, and a venue for exploration, contemplation, discourse, and action.<br />
<br />
The arts and humanities have a unique place in the cultural, economic, and social life of a city, creating a spirit of collective generosity that shapes the quality and complexity of the urban experience. Join this discussion in thinking about cities, generosity, and the arts.</div>

<div><b>Abstract from the distributor:</b></div>
</div>
By 2030 nearly 2 billion people will live in informal urban settlements or slums. Although living in abject poverty, slum communities are resilient and create new forms of urbanism. This panel will discuss current work in slums throughout the world, considering issues of empowerment and social equity, environmental sustainability, economic development and human health. These discussions will be both speculative and refl ective, stimulating critical inquiry and interdisciplinary dialogue into how concerted efforts can transform informal communities to improve the health of those living within them and guide future development of cities worldwide.</div>

A city at risk from the City?
City of London, London, Londres, économie, finance, Faith Nicholas
<div><b>Organisers' description:</b></div>
</div>
The recent financial crisis has demonstrated how vulnerable the world is to the actions of its financial institutions. It has provoked questions about the power of, and lack of control exerted over those who influence our economy. Because economic power in London is centralised mainly within the square mile, this relatively small geographical area wields an overwhelming command over not only the rest of London, but far beyond. We have witnessed the fall-out from this economic clout recently, but there are also benefits to living in a world financial centre. Does the City threaten or contribute to the city that houses it? Nicholas Faith examines the City, its power and pitfalls. This event was curated by Robert Elms as part of the London in Peril season.</div>

Do you ever wonder whether we should be optimistic or pessimistic about the future? If you want more reasons to think things may still turn out for the better, urban futurist and two-time TED speaker Alex Steffen’s your man. Steffen uses real-world examples and big-picture research to show us that a brighter, greener future is ours to choose. His most recent work is Carbon Zero, a book describing cities that create prosperity not climate change, accelerating their economies while reducing their climate emissions to zero. The big open secret about sustainability work, he recently told Design Observer magazine, is not how bad things are. It is how good things can get.</div>

Les capitales d’Etat aux Etats-Unis
capitale, économie, politique, territoire, Etats-Unis, Montes Christian
<div><b>Présentation du café-géo par l'organisateur :</b><br />
<br />
La plupart des capitales d’Etats aux Etats-Unis comptent une population relativement faible, contrairement au Canada ou à l’Australie, où primatie politique et démographique sont étroitement associées à l’échelle des villes. Aborder la question de la faiblesse démographique renvoie à la façon d’analyser les Etats-Unis avec un regard de géographe. Il ne faut absolument pas tomber dans le stéréotype qui associe à la plupart des villes américaines des phénomènes de mégalopolisation, ou de ségrégation, à l’exception de quelques espaces sanctuarisés.<br />
<br />
La capitale d’Etat incarne à la fois la municipalité, l’Etat qu’elle symbolise et le capitole. Quel rôle joue-t-elle vraiment dans le cadre du fédéralisme ? Quelles pratiques urbaines peut-on observer dans ces villes ? La notion de « powerful » doit-elle être entendue au sens de puissance économique, politique, ou encore civique et mémorielle ?<br />
<br />
Cette réflexion sera suivie d’une étude de cas portant sur Pierre, la capitale de l’Etat du Dakota du Sud.<br />

Building the speculative city

<div><b>Organisers' description : </b></div>
</div>
Dr. Weber will discuss her research on periods of rapid change in the physical fabric of the city -- the dizzying "construction booms" when the real estate industry, financial system, and public planning all operate in overdrive. By asking what leads developers to build more than the market can support, why they build new instead of modernizing older structures,and why some older, "obsolete" buildings are rediscovered, revitalized, and infused with symbolic capital while others are demolished or lay fallow, she argues that the routine professional practices of private real estate actors, financiers, and local governments create incentives for periodic overbuilding. To illustrate these dynamics, she will examine the case of Chicago's Loop during the Millennial boom, roughly 1997 through 2008.</div>

<div><b>Organisers' description : </b></div>
</div>
Africa is the fastest urbanising region in the world, and has become the focus of increasing attention from architects and planners, academics, development agencies and urban think-tanks. Professor Edgar Pieterse argues for a new way of thinking about African cities to accompany this surge of interest and to replace traditional views of African cities as sites of absence and neglect. Rapid urbanisation along with impressive economic growth rates for much of the Continent represents an interesting moment to take stock of how academic discourses capture and animate African urbanism.</div>
