Abstract

Les modes de vie résistent à la durabilité ! Il est ainsi difficile d’agir dans certains domaines pour faire diminuer la consommation énergétique, c’est tout particulièrement le cas de la mobilité et de l’étalement urbain. Derrière cette difficulté à agir se cache une compréhension imparfaite des phénomènes et des leviers qui les sous-tendent. Le présent ouvrage propose un état des lieux des relations entre modes de vie résidentiels et consommation énergétique à partir de travaux de recherche originaux et récents portant sur l’Allemagne, la Belgique, l’Espagne, les Etats-Unis, la France, l’Italie, la Grande-Bretagne, le Japon, la Suisse et la Turquie. Il a pour but d’en tirer les enseignements et d’identifier les moyens d’agir pour réduire la consommation énergétique dans le domaine de l’habitat et de la mobilité.

Abstract

Comment intégrer les énergies nouvelles dans la ville du futur ? Comment construire une ville qui produit autant d’énergie qu’elle en consomme, tout en favorisant l’économie locale ou nationale ? Quels obstacles devront être surmontés ? Pour répondre à ces questions, ce livre fait le pari méthodologique de la discussion collective et contradictoire ; il multiplie les points de vue et donne la parole à des architectes, des ingénieurs, des entrepreneurs, des membres de l’administration ou de grandes entreprises privées, des chercheurs, des consultants et des représentants des usagers. Il est complété par la mise en perspective de l’expérience française par des exemples danois, américains et chinois.

Abstract

Depuis des siècles les villes sont un espace fertile d'innovation sociale, politique, et technologique. Dans notre société fortement urbanisée, la demande de soutenabilité rencontre dans les villes globalisées des réponses concrètes et décisives à sa survie. De nouvelles formes de pilotage du processus de conception, réalisation et exploitation des projets urbains sont en pleine émergence. Face aux performances de durabilité, les « fabricants et exploitants de la ville » quels qu'ils soient ne « peuvent plus faire comme avant ». Pour coupler ville et soutenabilité cet ouvrage fait dialoguer l'urbanisme et les sciences de gestion. À travers cinq cas d'étude, de nouvelles pratiques en termes de mise en œuvre de l'urbanisme durable sont proposées. L'auteur conceptualise la distribution des capacités de conception lors d'un processus de création et démontre que l'innovation collective n'est pas uniquement le fruit du travail des experts. Il étudie les dispositifs qui permettent la structuration de l'action collective et le changement de comportement des usagers. L'émergence d'un rôle collectif de conception est ici exemplifiée. Cet ouvrage démontre que la ville reste le scénario le plus riche à la perception des impacts des décisions politiques, ainsi que des avancées technologies sur l'égalité des chances, principe fondamental de la soutenabilité.

Abstract

Compact living is sustainable living. High-density cities can support closer amenities, encourage reduced trip lengths and the use of public transport and therefore reduce transport energy costs and carbon emissions. High-density planning also helps to control the spread of urban suburbs into open lands, improves efficiency in urban infrastructure and services, and results in environmental improvements that support higher quality of life in cities. Encouraging, even requiring, higher density urban development is a major policy and a central principle of growth management programmes u

Abstract

More than half the world's population currently lives in urban areas, and virtually all of the world's population growth over the next three decades is expected to be in cities. What impact will this growth have on the environment? What can we do now to pave the way for resource longevity? Sustainability has received considerable attention in recent years, though conceptions of the term remain vague. Using a wide array of cities around the globe as case studies, this timely book explores the varying nature of global urban-environmental stresses and the complexities involved in defining sustainability policies. Working with six core themes, the editor examines the past, present, and future of urban sustainability within local, national, and global contexts.

Abstract

This book explores urban futures in the making, as seen through the lens of urban infrastructure. The book describes how socio-technical arrangements of energy and water provision are being recast in continuing efforts towards realising ‘sustainable’ transformation of cities. It critically investigates how infrastructure comes to matter by analyzing the shifting capacities and entanglements of diverse actors with these systems, the various means they use to envision, enact and contest changes, and the wide-ranging social and political implications of emerging infrastructure transitions. Drawing on original research into urban infrastructure debates and projects in Stockholm and Paris, the author develops a novel conceptual framework for studying and acknowledging the active, vital role of infrastructure in constituting a material politics of urban transformation. Straddling the latest theoretical insights and empirical investigation of urban planning practice and socio-technical engineering of systems and flows, Redeploying Urban Infrastructure forges new, timely reflections and perspectives which will be of interest to the growing multidisciplinary community of scholars investigating infrastructure and to academics and practitioners with a concern for understanding the wider politics of urban futures. Jonathan Rutherford holds a research post at LATTS (Laboratoire Techniques, Territoires et Sociétés), Université Paris Est and Ecole des Ponts ParisTech, France.

Abstract

Urbanization is a global phenomenon that is increasingly challenging human society. It is therefore crucially important to ensure that the relentless expansion of cities and towns proceeds sustainably. Urban ecology, the interdisciplinary study of ecological patterns and processes in towns and cities, is a rapidly developing field that can provide a scientific basis for the informed decision-making and planning needed to create both viable and sustainable cities. Urban Ecology brings together an international team of leading scientists to discuss our current understanding of all aspects of urb
