Abstract

How do we make better cities – places that work for people of all ages and backgrounds? How do we make cities that provide the obvious essentials – great transport, good places to work – as well as the softer elements that truly deliver quality of life, from urban swimming pools to rooftop clubs? Since its launch in 2007, Monocle has been passionate about making better places to live. Every year it publishes a Quality of Life Survey, which names the top 25 cities to call home. In addition, across the issues, it has interviewed the best mayors, looked at the metropolises putting pedestrians first and met the people creating the best parks, both pocket and grand.Discover how you too can have a High Line, create the most covetable housing or turn a dirty river into a summer asset.Packed with great images and intriguing reports, this is a book that takes the urbanism debate away from city hall and explains what’s needed in ways that will inspire us all.

Abstract

De laatste 25 jaar hebben de Brusselse wijken met de meeste moeilijkheden belangrijke overheidssteun gekregen met het oog op hun renovatie en herstel: 550 bouwprojecten, 1730 gecreëerde woningen, 130 nieuwe buurtvoorzieningen, 850 sociaal-economische acties en een groot aantal opgewaardeerde wegen en pleinen. Het ‘wijkcontract’ ontstond in 1993 en werd al snel een emblematisch instrument in het Brusselse overheidsoptreden als structureel en structurerend beleid. Naast de vele gerealiseerde projecten en acties an sich, is er gaandeweg een hele wereld rond ontstaan met een politieke administratie, experten, verenigingen en burgers. Dit boek geeft inzicht in het groeiproces van de Brusselse wijkcontracten over de afgelopen 25 jaar. Het dompelt de lezer onder in het discours, de verbeelding, de start, de uitvoering en de administratie van een stadsbeleid met lange termijn en dit op verschillende momenten in haar geschiedenis. De veertien gekozen situaties tonen de sociologische kroniek van dat stadsbeleid, van bij haar geboorte tot in haar huidige ontwikkelingsfase, die een aantal belangrijke vragen oproept. De conclusietekst van het boek vormt voor de auteur de gelegenheid om dieper in te gaan op de ‘tijdelijke perspectieven’ van zowel de verdedigers als de critici van de wijkcontracten. Het levert zo ook een bijdrage aan het publieke debat over de voortzetting of transformatie van het stedelijk beleid in Brussel.

Abstract

The New Normal (2017-2019) was a post-graduate program and Speculative Urbanism think-tank within Moscow’s renowned Strelka Institute of Media, Architecture, and Design. Directed by distinguished American social theorist Benjamin H. Bratton, the The New Normal conducted a collaborative research to investigate the impact of planetary-scale computation on the future of cities both in Russia and around the world.The New Normal book, edited by Benjamin H. Bratton, Nicolay Boyadjiev, and Nick Axel, features twenty-two interlinked projects that were part of the research. Published alongside are seventeen lavishly illustrated contributions by international researchers and designers that outline the wider scope of The New Normal program's output, held together by concise thematic texts contributed by Benjamin H. Bratton. Contributors include many of the most influential contemporary designers, philosophers, architects, and artists, such as Yuk Hui, Liam Young, Anastassia Smirnova, Lydia Kallipoliti, Lev Manovich, Julieta Aranda, Trevor Paglen, Metahaven, Keller Easterling, Robert Gerard Pietrusko, Molly Wright Steenson, Ben Cerveny, Rival Strategy, Geoff Manaugh, Stephanie Sherman, and Patricia Reed. The fields of research include Speculative Megastructures, Human AI Interaction Design, Protocols and Programs, Synthetic Cinema, Alt-Geographies, Platform Econometrics, and Recursive Simulation.This highly topical volume, the only comprehensive survey of research and work produced by The New Normal program, will appeal to all readers interested in the future of cities and urban design.

Abstract

A survey of Cook's career-long project to reinvigorate the city. A series of mediations on contemporary urban conditions in cities as diverse as Tokyo, Edinburgh, and Santa Monica, this volume also functions as an informal memoir, at once lyrical and trenchant, in which Cook reveals the influences and motivations behind his seminal works and recent projects. A collection of projects and texts created especially for the monograph completes this compelling presentation.

Abstract

Le CPAS de Bruxelles possède un patrimoine immobilier provenant d'un héritage séculaire. Le photographe Marc Detiffe dévoile toute la richesse architecturale, non seulement des bâtiments emblématiques, mais aussi des nouveaux logements, « Les 1.000 logements », tous lieux de vie et de cohésion sociale. Des articles d'auteurs internationaux et belges évoquent la politique foncière et urbanistique du CPAS ainsi que son implication dans l'architecture durable. Une présentation historique introduit chaque section. L'originalité de cet ouvrage réside, notamment, dans la présentation territoriale du patrimoine bruxellois au départ des antennes sociales. Ces dernières sont un foyer de rayonnement d'une nouvelle organisation sociale, économique et culturelle de la ville.
