Summary:
Housing is more than bricks and mortar. The home is where our hopes and dreams play out, and it lies at the heart of our lives. This is where we rest, eat, and relax. The home we enjoy can determine our health, life expectancy, and day-to-day well-being. In contrast, the lack of a stable residence can lead to mental and physical illness and often premature death. This is(...)

Summary:
Housing is more than bricks and mortar. The home is where our hopes and dreams play out, and it lies at the heart of our lives. This is where we rest, eat, and relax. The home we enjoy can determine our health, life expectancy, and day-to-day well-being. In contrast, the lack of a stable residence can lead to mental and physical illness and often premature death. This is central to how we conceive of a good and dignified life. "Feeling at home" grapples with the practical and emotional questions of housing – domestic labour, privacy, security, ownership, and health. Is it possible to imagine success without home ownership? Alva Gotby makes clear that solving the housing crisis is about much more than housing stock. It is about revolutionising our everyday lives and labours.

With buildings and cities being one of the primary accelerators of climate change, the tightening of urban environments is one of the mechanisms by which architects and urban planners can affect change.

Summary:
With buildings and cities being one of the primary accelerators of climate change, the tightening of urban environments is one of the mechanisms by which architects and urban planners can affect change. To date, models of urban densification and compact cities have been focused on sites of urban consumption—residential, commercial, civic and social spaces. Little thought has been given to the vast productive hinterlands around the world that support cities, through the growing of food, generation of power, production of goods and disposal of waste. Working through three scales of analysis, across three cities in the Asia Pacific Region, and deploying varying design research techniques ranging from critical observation to speculative scenario modeling, the book presents a series of projects that seek to retro-fit an existing urban environment with a productive program.

Summary:
This is the book that Canadians must read to understand, and solve, our housing crisis. Hundreds of thousands of Canadians exist on the edge. Renters fear eviction, homeowners feel trapped, and both are vulnerable to becoming homeless with a single stroke of misfortune. Unaffordable housing in Canada is tearing communities apart. Rising prices force long-time residents to move elsewhere, while established businesses are forced to close their doors because they cannot find staff who can afford to live nearby. In "Home truths", housing expert Carolyn Whitzman explores Canada’s crisis from all sides, including defining what adequate housing looks like, explaining why nonmarket housing is crucial for Canada, and outlining how and why to tackle ever-growing wealth disparities between renters and those who own.

En initiant un débat global, il analyse la ville comme un laboratoire complexe et dynamique, concentrant la majorité de la population mondiale et les grands enjeux de développement - environnementaux, culturels, technologiques, et économiques. Pris en tenaille par les défis du siècle, les territoires urbains doivent changer de paradigme de toute urgence.. Carlos Moreno explore les stratégies pour un bien-vivre urbain, définissant les enjeux des mutations accélérées par l'urbanisation.

Il revient, d’abord, à Chicago, aux origines de l’écologie humaine, quand ont été forgés les premiers outils d’analyse statistique et cartographique des territoires urbains et suburbains. Il rend compte, ensuite, d’une anthropologie des mondes sociaux, avec leurs espaces de vie et leurs histoires de vie : une série de cas d’étude, de la banlieue parisienne à Bruxelles, Hollywood ou Hambourg, démontre ici la fécondité de cette ethnographie des milieux de vie. Il propose, enfin, une troisième perspective qui combine une sémiologie et une psychologie écologiques. Centrée sur les corps des citadins et les champs d’expérience à leurs entours, elle décrit leurs façons de s’ancrer dans différentes espèces d’espaces, de les percevoir et de les transformer. Ces territoires, lieux d’appropriation, d’expérimentation et de protestation, sont aussi des terrains de conquête et de résistance : l’écologie humaine s’ouvre alors au droit à la ville. Trois perspectives sur l’écologie humaine qui explorent comment les sociétés humaines sculptent leurs milieux de vie.

Summary:
The book focuses on ways to reinvent public housing in New York City through a series of design projects from Yale School of Architecture that integrate form and provide social programs for the residents. The students investigated the relationship between housing, equity, health, and community. The students developed comprehensive frameworks for the Washington Houses, three connected superblocks equivalent to seven New York City blocks. The concepts focused on restitching the project into the city street grid and sought ways to add new built fabric that would allow the Modernist towers- in-the park project to connect with public streets. Some found ways to keep the superblock with interventions to support the community at different scales and family structures. Urban farms and community facilities as well as recreation spaces were included in order to have a range of interventions for care, health, and equity that could reorient public housing.
