The Europeanisation of Cities sheds light on the complex interplay between cities and the European Union, both how cities engage with the EU and how the EU engages with cities. In particular, the book considers how EU policies and programs are acting as a driving force for urban change, and what motivates cities to be present on the EU stage. Furthermore, it addresses the role of cities in the process of European integration, for example, social policy.The book explores different approaches to understand the Europeanization of cities and gives empirical ev

C'est une époque, un style, une histoire. Les années 1980, le postmodernisme architectural, la Gauche au pouvoir. Les Grands Projets et Banlieues 89. Le Syndicat de l'architecture et un mouvement en faveur des Ateliers Publics d'Architecture et d'Urbanisme. Les uns en appelaient déjà à la raison, tandis que les autres exaltaient encore la révolution. Le Mai 81 des architectes aura balancé durant au moins deux années entre l'appel au projet et à la construction au sein d'un exercice libéral canonique, et l'attente inassouvie d'un grand chamboulement de la fabrique de la ville qu'auraient probablement suscité la généralisation d'ateliers publics municipaux rassemblant des architectes fonctionnaires. Faire grève contre les fonctions officielles aura été l'un des privilèges de ceux qui étaient jeunes en mai 68 ; 81 sonnera déjà la redistribution des cartes et des positions. Mais si 68 fut une période de remises en question, Mai 81 ne le fut pas moins. Et nous nous serions trompés à nous être laissés aller à penser que les débats et polémiques de l'époque se seraient éteints pour de bon. Comme un symptôme, tous les lauréats français d'un grand projet mitterrandien se sont trouvés engagés d'une manière ou d'une autre en 2008 dans le Grand Paris de Nicolas Sarkozy. Ce nouvel essai s'inscrit dans le prolongement des Architectes et Mai 68 paru il y a six ans. Il cherche à réactiver et revisiter Mai 81 pour clore peut-être cet entre-deux-Mai qui nous aura tous intensément marqués et aura si profondément redessiné les contours de notre quotidien

This book examines the paradoxes, challenges, potential and problems of urban living. It understands cities as they are, rather than as they may be marketed or branded. All cities have much in common, yet the differences are important. They form the basis of both imaginative policy development and productive experiences of urban life. The phrase ‘city imaging’ is often used in public discourse, but rarely defined. It refers to the ways that particular cities are branded and marketed. It is based on the assumption that urban representations can be transformed to develop tourism and attract businesses and in-demand workers to one city in preference to another. However, such a strategy is imprecise. History, subjectivity, bias and prejudice are difficult to temper to the needs of either economic development or social justice. The taste, smell, sounds and architecture of a place all combine to construct the image of a city. For researchers, policy makers, activists and citizens, the challenge is to use or transform this image. The objective of this book is to help the reader define, understand and apply this process. After a war on terror, a credit crunch and a recession, cities still do matter. Even as the de-territorialization of the worldwide web enables the free flow of money, music and ideas across national borders, cities remain important. City Imaging: Regeneration, Renewal, Decay surveys the iconography of urbanity and explores what happens when branding is emphasized over living.

Cities are rapidly changing. Harvard’s Graduate School of Design (GSD) has turned its attention to this issue with a series of conferences. The first, Ecological Urbanism (2009), considered the urban environment within the more comprehensive framework of economic, environmental, and social concerns. The second, In the Life of Cities (2011), looked at relationships between physical characteristics of cities and the lives they engender. Ethics of the Urban examined ideas of citizenship and civic engagement, memorials and public space, and social and political borders. Although the overall tone was academic, speakers from fields unrelated to design drew people from outside the GSD to discuss topics such as the Occupy movement and the National September 11 Memorial.

The book aims at nurturing theoretic reflection on the city and the territory and working out and applying methods and techniques for improving our physical and social landscapes. The main issue is developed around the projectual dimension, with the objective of visualising both the city and the territory from a particular viewpoint, which singles out the territorial dimension as the city’s space of communication and negotiation. Issues that characterise the dynamics of city development will be faced, such as the new, fresh relations between urban societies and physical space, the right to the city, urban equity, the project for the physical city as a means to reveal civitas, signs of new social cohesiveness, the sense of contemporary public space and the sustainability of urban development. Authors have been invited to explore topics that feature a pluralism of disciplinary contributions studying formal and informal practices on the project for the city and seeking conceptual and operative categories capable of understanding and facing the problems inherent in the profound transformations of contemporary urban landscapes.
