Comment transformer et faire revivre un territoire dévasté par la disparition d'une quasi mono-industrie, celle des mines et de l'extraction du charbon dans le bassin du Pas-de-Calais au sud de Lille entre Lens et Valenciennes, et y développer un nouveau modèle économique, écologique et social estampillé du sceau de “Troisième révolution industrielle” ? C'est le pari audacieux, unique en France, et réussi, du maire écologiste d'une petite commune de 7000 habitants, Loos-en-Gohelle, nichée au pied des anciens terrils. Cet “écolo” au pays des “Gueules noires”, Jean-François Caron, mène depuis 15 ans le combat pour une “résilience écologique” et a fait de sa commune l'emblème réalisé de la ville de demain : autonomie énergétique, écrin vert, démocratie présentative plutôt que participative, réseaux “intelligents”, logements sociaux écoconstruits, laboratoire scientifique et citoyen. A tel point que l'économiste, sociologue et essayiste américain Jérémy Rifkin, chantre de cette troisième révolution industrielle, a fait de Jean-François Caron son principal appui en France afin de développer ces concepts à plus grande échelle. A travers des rencontres, récits, interviews et témoignages de personnalités politiques, chercheurs, chefs d'entreprises ou citoyens ayant travaillé avec Jean-François Caron, ce livre raconte les chemins des convictions, des méthodes de travail et des modes opératoirs qui mènent à la ville de demain. Aujourd'hui en Fance, au moment du grand rendez-vous de fin d'année à Paris pour la COP 21, carrefour mondial pour l'avenir climatique de la planète.

"Cities are responsible for three-quarters of the world s energy consumption. If we are to reduce our demands on the planet s resources how can we make our urban areas more energy efficient? One way is to refit existing buildings with more thermally efficient building materials. But such retrofitting involves significant issues of social acceptance and public participation. Retrofitting the City provides an important corrective to the assumptions that have been made concerning the ability of people and places to cope with such residential transformation. Drawing upon case studies from a number of European cities that have undergone far-reaching change in their built environments, the author shows that supposedly inadaptable people and places show a strong, if often hidden, degree of flexibility in responding to economic change and building transformation."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

A leading-edge guide to thinking about and planning for twenty-first-century cities in all their social, political, and ecological complexity The first "urban century" in history has arrived: a majority of the world's population now resides in cities and their surrounding suburbs. Urban expansion marches on, and the planning and design of future cities requires attention to such diverse issues as human migration, public health, economic restructuring, water supply, climate and sea-level change, and much more. This important book draws on two decades of pioneering social and ecological studies in Baltimore to propose a new way to think about cities and their social, political, and ecological complexity that will apply in many different parts of the world. Readers will gain fresh perspectives on how to study, build, and manage cities in innovative and sustainable ways.
