Résumé:
The Scottish urbanist and biologist Patrick Geddes (1854-1932) is perhaps best known for introducing the concept of "region" to architecture and planning. At the turn of the twentieth century, he was one of the strongest advocates of town planning and an active participant in debates about the future of the city.

Résumé:
The Scottish urbanist and biologist Patrick Geddes (1854-1932) is perhaps best known for introducing the concept of "region" to architecture and planning. At the turn of the twentieth century, he was one of the strongest advocates of town planning and an active participant in debates about the future of the city. He was arguably the first planner to recognize the importance of historic city centers, and his renewal work in Edinburgh’s Old Town is visible and impressive to this day. Geddes’s famous analytical triad--place, work, and folk, corresponding to the geographical, historical, and spiritual aspects of the city--provides the basic structure of this examination of his urban theory. Volker Welter examines Geddes’s ideas in the light of nineteenth-century biology--in which Geddes received his academic training--showing Geddes’s use of biological concepts to be far more sophisticated than popular images of the city as an organic entity. His urbanism was informed by his lifelong interest in the theory of evolution and in ecology, cutting-edge areas in the late nineteenth century. Balancing Geddes’s biological thought is his interest in the historical Greek concept of polis, usually translated as city-state but implying a view of the city as a cultural and spiritual phenomenon. Although Geddes’s work was far-ranging, the city provided the unifying focus of nearly all of his theoretical and practical work. Throughout the book, Welter relates Geddes’s theory of the city to contemporary European debates about architecture and urbanism. Foreword by Iain Boyd Whyte.

Ce sont ces espaces que nous arpentons, dans lesquels nous respirons, que nous percevons avec tout notre corps. Leur complexité est à l'origine d'un processus dynamique qui donne sa forme à la ville. L'auteur replace dans l'histoire de la ville la lente constitution de ces espaces. Avec son expérience d'architecte, d'urbaniste et d'élu local, il en a cherché les fondements, étudiant plus particulièrement quelques espaces connus, tel le forum de Rome, notamment dans leur dimensions instrumentale et symbolique. Il donne aussi quelques clés pour que les espaces publics soient ouverts à la diversité sans perdre la nécessaire unité.

Résumé:
The last decade has seen the rise of urban design which has taken a central position in the new agendas for urban regeneration and renaissance. Urban design has moved from marginality to mainstream. The principles espoused by urban designers over the past 30 years are now accepted as key to a better urban environment and as we move towards greater sustainability, different ideas are emerging that are challenging some of the accepted urban design norms; urban design is at a watershed. Essays from an international cast of authors review progress and explore emerging ideas: should urban design reflect the future rather than recreate the past? What are the new driving forces that will shape urban living and hence urban design in the future? This book explores new concepts and points the way towards a series of urban design paradigms for the twenty-first century.

Résumé:
In "Jane Jacobs : urban visionary", journalist Alice Sparberg Alexiou deconstructs Jane Jacobs’ richly packed life of ideas and social action, offering a fluid and engaging synthesis of meticulously researched observation and analysis. Alexiou traces Jacobs’ move from Scranton, Pennsylvania, to New York City and the controversy that erupted when she dared to take on conventional urban planning wisdom with her classic "Death and life". She protested then-current urban renewal practices and championed the "sidewalk ballet" — the fragile meeting of buildings, streets and people — threatened by the building of highways and the tearing down of working neighbourhoods. Jacobs moved to Canada in the late 1960s and embarke on Toronto-saving campaigns, helping to preserve Old City Hall and Union Station. She was also instrumental in preventing the construction of the Spadina Expressway, which would have cut a swath through Toronto’s Annex and other essential neighbourhoods.

In her survey of the last hundred or so years of urbanist ideals, the author identifies four approaches to city-making, which she terms "cultures": incrementalism, plan-making, planned communities, and regionalism. She shows how these cultures connect, overlap, and conflict one with another and how most of the ideas about building better settlements are so recurrent. She concludes with an assessment of the successes and failures of the four cultures and the need to integrate these ideas as a means to promoting good urbanism in America.
