The only compact yet comprehensive survey of environmental and cultural forces that have shaped the visual character and geographical diversity of the settled American landscape. The book examines the large-scale historical influences that have molded the varied human adaptation of the continent’s physical topography to its needs over more than 500 years. It presents a synoptic view of myriad historical processes working together or in conflict, and illustrates them through their survival in or disappearance from the everyday landscapes of today.

"Transnational spatial relations offer a key point from which to study the geographies of contemporary globalization. This book assesses the possible cross-fertilization between two of the most notable analytical frameworks in this area: the world city network (WCN) framework, in which researchers have studied the emergence of a globalized urban system; and secondly, the global commodity chain (GCC) framework, in which researchers have scrutinized the interconnected functions, operations and transactions through which specific goods are produced, distributed and consumed in a globalized economy. Both literatures have emerged as critiques of conventional, state-centric social science interpretations of their subject matters, and they both propose what might be called 'global network alternatives'. Bringing together contributions of key researchers from human geography, economics, and sociology, the editors take advantage of this parallel to investigate how both models may benefit from each other"--

Depuis un quart de siècle, le discours sur la ville se focalise majoritairement sur les grands ensembles de logements sociaux situés à la périphérie des villes. Ce type d'habitat, longtemps convoités par les classes moyennes, incarne aujourd'hui tout à la fois la misère et la relégation. la violence et la ségrégation, l'insécurité et le ghetto. l'échec urbanistique et la segmentation sociale des territoires urbains. Cet ouvrage montre qu'il n'existe pas une banlieue unique, niais plutôt des territoires périurbains qui agglomèrent une grande diversité de lieux, d'activités et de populations. II analyse les processus de fragmentation sociale et spatiale, ainsi que la spirale de l'exclusion caractéristique des banlieues sensibles.
