Abstract

Relais de la voie domitienne, l’oppidum d’Ambrussum est un site majeur pour cerner les conditions et les aspects de la romanisation dans la région de Nîmes. On y connaissait deux maisons à cour Intérieure du Ier s. de notre ère qui forment l’îlot du secteur I ; les recherches conduites de 1976 à 1980 dans le secteur IV ont révélé une maison de ce type avec ses dépendances. A l’issue d’une analyse fondée sur leurs conditions d’implantation, d’occupation et d’abandon, leur architecture et la répartition de leur mobilier, ces constructions apparaissent comme une expression originale de l’habitat gallo-romain. Situées dans les contextes local et régional, elles témoignent d’un processus d’urbanisation et de différenciation sociale, et de l’existence d’un mode d’exploitation villageoise. Relay-point on a roman road, the oppidum of Ambrussum is a major site concerning conditions and aspects of the romanisation in the region of Nîmes. Two houses with internal courtyards were already known and dated from the first century AD and form an insula of secteur I. Research conducted from 1976 to 1980 in secteur IV revealed a house of the same type with its dependancies. Following an analysis based on the conditions of implantation, occupation and abandonment, their architecture and distribution of the finds, these constructions appear to be an original expression of gallo-roman habitations. Situated in their local and regional contexts, they reflect the process of urbanisation and social differenciation, and of the village type exploitation existence.

Abstract

This book explores and debates the urban transformations that have taken place in Vienna over the past 30 years and their consequences in policy fields such as labour and housing, political and social participation and the environment. Historically, European cities have been characterised by a strong association between social cohesion, quality of life, economic ambition and a robust State. Vienna is an excellent example for that. In more recent years, however, cities were pressured to change policy principles and mechanisms in the context of demographic shifts, post-industrial transformations and welfare recalibration which have led to worsened social conditions in many cities. Each chapter in this volume discusses Vienna's responses to these pressures in key policy arenas, looking at outcomes from the context-specific local arrangements. Against a theoretical framework debating the European city as a model of inclusion and social justice, authors explore the local capacity to innovate urban policies and to address new social risks, while paying attention to potential trade-offs. The book questions and assesses the city's resilience using time series and an institutional analysis of four key dimensions that characterise the European city model within the context of post-industrial transition: redistribution, recognition, representation and sustainability. It offers a multiscalar perspective of urban governance through labour, housing, participatory and environmental policies, bringing together different levels and public policy types. Vienna: Still a Just City? is aimed at academics, researchers and policy-makers in urban studies, including urban sociology, ecology, geography and welfare.

Abstract

L?auteur de cet ouvrage propose un parcours au cœur du quartier le plus central de la ville de Marseille à l?Epoque moderne, qui avait presque entièrement disparu en 1943 pendant la guerre. Elle fait revivre sa trame urbaine à travers laquelle se dresse une variété de bâtiments, édifices religieux et civils, mais aussi maisons d?habitation privées. Grâce au dialogue entre les sources écrites et les fouilles archéologiques, leur diversité de construction, faisant se côtoyer de vastes demeures aux façades richement décorées et des maisons plus modestes, presque toutes alliant lieu d?habitation et de travail apparaît. Leur évolution y est révélée à travers leurs reconstructions ou rénovations, ainsi que la mise au jour de la redistribution des espaces intérieurs mettant ainsi en évidence le dynamisme de ce quartier.
