Comme toute la planète, la France n'a jamais été aussi urbanisée. Le monde urbain change, la France des villes avec lui. Des transformations profondes dans les rapports sociaux à l'espace, au mouvement, aux temps, à l'environnement, à l'action, travaillent les villes, les espaces urbains, leurs populations et acteurs. Les questions urbaines sont au coeur des enjeux de société et d'aménagement. Pour continuer à lire et à comprendre l'espace des sociétés urbaines, la géographie urbaine, en tant que construction scientifique, renouvelle ses approches, ses concepts, ses problématiques. La mutation des réalités urbaines entraîne une mutation des façons de faire de la géographie urbaine. L'exploration est à reprendre. Loin du modèle interprétatif unique et hors de tout cadre de connaissances normatif, une trentaine de géographes universitaires, enseignants dans toute la France (et parfois ailleurs), proposent ici une lecture renouvelée de l'urbain en France, de ses débats, de ses controverses. Cet ouvrage invite à la réflexion tous celles et ceux qu'interroge l'urbanité de leur temps.

This book presents a unique collection of state-of-the-art contributions by international remote sensing experts focussing on methodologies to extract information about urban areas from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. SAR is an active remote sensing technique capable to gather data independently from sun light and weather conditions. Emphasizing technical and geometrical issues the potential and limits of SAR are addressed in focussed case studies, for example, the detection of buildings and roads, traffic monitoring, surface deformation monitoring, and urban change. These studies can be sorted into two groups: the mapping of the current urban state and the monitoring of change. The former covers, for instance, methodologies for the detection and reconstruction of individual buildings and road networks; the latter, for example, surface deformation monitoring and urban change. This includes also investigations related to the benefit of SAR Interferometry, which is useful to determine either digital elevation models and surface deformation or the radial velocity of objects (e.g. cars), and the Polarization of the signal that comprises valuable information about the type of soil and object geometry. Furthermore, the features of modern satellite and airborne sensor devices which provide high-spatial resolution of the urban scene are discussed. Audience: This book will be of interest to scientists and professionals in geodesy, geography, architecture, engineering and urban planning.

This book argues that many positive planning and policy outcomes can result when GIS experts and community organizers work together to address problems affecting our neighborhoods and cities. This book is written by an author who, in addition to being an academic, has worked for twenty years in the grassroots, designing and implementing a wide range of community-oriented GIS activities. The book is both an account of personal experiences, as well as an academic reflection of professional practice. The case studies are drawn from multiple scales and represent stake holders covering a wide swath of actors. For practitioners, the book will help to place their own experiences into a historical and socio-political context and will provide guidance for their work. For students, it looks behind the scenes of glossy PPGIS reports usually found in the literature. For policymakers, it highlights the pathways to facilitate social change through consensus building. This book provides clarity about terminologies and definitions. It provides practical guidelines for policymakers seeking to implement consensus-building approaches that are supported by GIS and other digital tools.
