Depuis plusieurs années, les réseaux sociaux sont envahis de hordes de voyageurs d’un nouveau genre. Ils tournent le dos à leur foyer, plaquent tout, parcourent la planète au volant de vans rutilants taillés pour finir sur « Insta » ; décident de tout miser sur leurs Tiny House à roulettes ou, enfin, bouclent leur powerpoint à Bali. Van-Lifers, inventeurs de maisons mobiles, cadres trimant dans des cabanes en mode Digital Nomads : ils sont de plus en plus nombreux a abandonner le mode de vie sédentaire. Pourquoi renoncer au confort domestique ? Que signifie « chez soi » quand sa maison est montée sur quatre roues ? Est-il possible de concilier vie professionnelle et road trip permanent ? Qui tient les manettes de ce nouveau business juteux ? Et surtout, que nous disent ces voyageurs 2.0 de l’état actuel du la société et de ses aspirations a une vie alternative ? Derrière ce désir d’un cadre de vie moins figé et ouvert à l’aventure, ces « nouveaux nomades » nous forcent à nous interroger sur notre rapport au temps et à l’espace.

"'You're either buried with your crystals or your shotgun.' That laconic comment captures the hippies-versus-hicks conflict that divides, and in some ways defines, modern-day homesteaders. It also reveals that back to-the-landers, though they may seek lives off the grid, remain connected to the most pressing questions confronting the United States today. Jason Strange shows where homesteaders fit, and don't fit, within contemporary America. Blending history with personal stories, Strange visits pig roasts and bohemian work parties to find people engaged in a lifestyle that offers challenge and fulfillment for those in search of virtues like self-employment, frugality, contact with nature, and escape from the mainstream. He also lays bare the vast differences in education and opportunity that leave some homesteaders dispossessed while charting the tensions that arise when people seek refuge from the ills of modern society -- only to find themselves indelibly marked by the system they dreamed of escaping"--

"Engendering Cities examines the contemporary research, policy and practice of designing for gender in urban spaces. Gender matters in city design, yet despite legislative mandates across the globe to provide equal access to services for men and women alike, these issues are still often overlooked or inadequately addressed. This book looks at critical aspects of contemporary cities regarding gender, including topics such as transport, housing, public health, education, caring, infrastructure, as well as issues which are rarely addressed in planning, design and policy such as the importance of toilets for education and clothes washers for freeing time. In the first section, a number of chapters in the book assess past, current and projected conditions in cities vis-a-vis gender issues and needs. In the second section, the book assesses existing policy, planning and design efforts to improve women's and men's concerns in urban living. Finally, it proposes changes to existing policies and practices in urban planning and design, including its thinking (theory) and norms (ethics). The book applies the current scholarship on theory and practice related to gender in a planning context, elaborating on some critical community-focused reflections on gender and design. It will be key reading for scholars and students of planning, architecture, design, gender studies, sociology, anthropology, geography, and political science. It will also be of interest to practitioners and policy makers, providing discussion of emerging topics in the field"--
