Due to climatic, social, and epidemiological challenges, urban areas are suffering from recurring problems that require profound and sustainable solutions. Although they cover only a small area of the earth's surface, metropolises are responsible for most of the world's global carbon emissions, which cause adverse effects on energy and the climate. This book discusses the spatial development of urban areas in the context of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Chapters address the problems of large urban agglomerations, examine their impacts on both people and the environment, and propose intervention policies and strategies. The book also presents case studies from different areas of the world, including Chile, Brazil, and India.

This edited volume delves into the intricate challenges that cities face in the midst of evolving socio-political, economic, and environmental landscapes. With a focus on inclusivity and diversity, the book thoroughly examines the transformation of urban systems and their manifestations within broader spatial contexts. Employing a trans- and interdisciplinary approach, the editors have strategically curated diverse research clusters to address key aspects of inclusive urban transformation from multiple perspectives. These clusters explore alternative paradigms for sustainable urban transformation, the dynamics of city regions, inclusive tourism development, the de-contestation of urban heritage to diversify urban identities, and inclusive intersectional city-making practices. By fostering collaboration and cross-pollination among these clusters, the volume fosters a transdisciplinary understanding of inclusive and sustainable urban transformation, facilitating the development of more holistic approaches in conceptualizing and promoting inclusive urban theory and praxis.

"La psychanalyse est une recherche du monde extérieur, inévitablement conflictuelle, mais dans un effort d'échange avec le monde extérieur." Cet espace intérieur, Salomon Resnik le conçoit comme un espace pour vivre, sentir, penser, imaginer, rêver. Transcendant les oppositions catégorielles dedans/dehors, corps/esprit, l'espace mental donne sens, forme, luminosité à la vie. Or vivre son intériorité et la multiplicité de son être est difficile à assumer et on observe dans les vécus psychotiques un aplatissement de cet espace qui peut alors être rempli de vide, de fumée ou même de connaissances. La profession de psychanalyste consistera, nous dit Resnik, à utiliser son propre appareil mental, son propre espace mental pour aller à la rencontre de l'affectivité discordante ou barrée de l'autre. Salomon Resnik, nous invite ici, comme il l'a fait avec son public de l'Université à pénétrer dans l'espace qui se crée entre lui et ses patients, à la recherche de suggestions, de réflexions qui puissent donner sens à la vie mentale. Problèmes théoriques, histoires cliniques sont enrichis par la présentation d'œuvres de Magritte, De Chirico, Van Gogh et de dessins de ses patients, qui rendent le lecteur sensible à une expérience sensori-perceptive et esthétique de l'inconscient.

As humans have come to dominate the earth, the ideal of studying and teaching ecology in pristine ecosystems has become impossible to achieve. Our planet is now a mosaic of ecosystems ranging from the relatively undisturbed to the completely built, with the majority of people living in urban environments. This accessible introduction to the principles of urban ecology provides students with the tools they need to understand these increasingly important urban ecosystems. It builds upon the themes of habitat modification and resource use to demonstrate how multiple ecological processes interact in cities and how human activity initiates chains of unpredictable unintended ecological consequences. Broad principles are supported throughout by detailed examples from around the world and a comprehensive list of readings from the primary literature. Questions, exercises and laboratories at the end of each chapter encourage discussion, hands-on study, active learning, and engagement with the world outside the classroom window.

Confrontées aux défis écologiques, bouleversements numériques, risques et catastrophes de tout ordre, les villes et territoires s'interrogent sur leurs capacités d'adaptation, de transformation et d'anticipation. Cet ouvrage, issu du colloque de Cerisy sur « Villes et territoires résilients », propose un dialogue contradictoire et constructif entre contributeurs issus d'horizons divers : chercheurs, industriels, ingénieurs, politiques, élus, acteurs culturels, assureurs, opérateurs de réseaux… La résilience de qui ? De quoi ? Pour qui ? Avec quels moyens, outils et connaissances ? Au-delà des différences d'interprétation selon les disciplines de la notion comme de l'évaluation des actions engagées au titre de la résilience, des convergences se sont dessinées autour des enjeux, des méthodes et des leviers d'action. Ainsi, la question des échelles interroge particulièrement : échelles spatiales (locales, régionales, mondiales) ; échelles de temps dans la mise en œuvre des phases d'action et d'anticipation comme pour les perspectives humaines et techniques des territoires habités ; échelles d'action qui posent le problème des objectifs entre autonomie et solidarités, de l'information appropriée, jusqu'à repenser les rôles respectifs des citoyens et des réseaux, des assurances et de l'économie. L'ouvrage interroge notre compréhension des complexités à l'œuvre et souligne l'intérêt de faire une large place à l'intelligence collective et aux stratégies inclusives.
