Globalisation économique et internationalisation marquent une nouvelle étape dans la transformation des grandes métropoles à travers le monde. L'accélération des flux économiques et des apports migratoires travaille en profondeur l'urbanisation des très grandes villes et reconfigure leurs marchés du travail. Cet ouvrage veut saisir certaines conséquences de la mondialisation économique et de l'internationalisation des villes à travers les exemples de Beyrouth, Jérusalem-Est et Tunis, Istanbul, Marseille, Barcelone, Naples et Lisbonne, Tôkyô, Shanghaï, Mumbaï, Caracas… Les tensions croissantes sur les marchés du travail et du logement modifient durablement les ancrages urbains et marquent le destin collectif des citadins, y compris ceux issus de migrations récentes. Les plus disqualifiés d'entre eux sont placés dans des situations de risques accrus et sont confrontés à des transformations non anticipées, souvent non concertées, de leurs espaces de vie. Les auteurs portent leur attention sur les réactions des habitants à ces recompositions économiques, urbaines et sociales et éclairent les dynamiques porteuses de changement. De l'observation de ces villes mondiales encore largement méconnues émerge ainsi la question de la lutte pour la reconnaissance des populations, de l'accès aux ressources et de la participation des citadins à la production des normes sociales.

In recent years, the world witnessed the rise of big digital platforms like Amazon, Airbnb, and Uber. The emerging research field of platform urbanism focuses on these developments and concentrates on platforms and their impact on everyday life in urban space. This book introduces a novel approach to the problems of accessibility and opacity in this area of research. In order to explore the black box platform urbanism more thoroughly, different participatory mapping approaches of critical cartography are examined. The potential of so-called counter-mapping practices and related approaches for a deeper exploration of platform urbanism is discussed. The author thus establishes the nexus between participatory mapping approaches of critical cartography and their application potential for platform urbanism and provides numerous starting points for future research. About the author Daniel Weissenrieder received his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Human Geography from Friedrich Schiller University in Jena. He then completed his Master of Arts in Human Geography - Global Studies at the University of Tübingen. .

This book focuses on the challenge that Australia faces in transitioning to renewable energy and regenerating its cities via a transformation of its built environment. Both are necessary conditions for low carbon living in the 21st century. This is a global challenge represented by the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals and the IPCC's Climate Change program and its focus on mitigation and adaptation. All nations must make significant contributions to this transformation. This book highlights the new knowledge and innovation that has emerged from research projects undertaken in the Co-operative Research Centre for Low Carbon Living between 2012 and 2019 - an initiative of the Australian Government's Department of Industry, Science and Technology that is tasked with responding to the UN challenges. Four principal transition pathways were central to the CRC and provide the thematic structure to this volume. They focus on technology, buildings, precinct and city design, and human behaviour - and their interactions.
