Les espaces ruraux connaissent de profondes mutations et peinent à faire l'objet d'une définition simple. Le poids de l'histoire brouille la connaissance de ces espaces, largement façonnés par l'homme. S'ils peuvent apparaître sous influence urbaine, ils connaissent néanmoins des logiques propres. Au « tous urbains » semble de plus en plus répondre le « tous ruraux ». De nouvelles interactions entre l'urbain et le rural s'inventent et de nouvelles ruralités viennent troubler le rapport ville / campagne traditionnel, avec une urbanisation de la campagne mais aussi une ruralisation de la ville. Ce numéro s'intéresse à des thèmes largement évoqués dans les débats publics, du périurbain aux crises alimentaires et sanitaires, en passant par le développement de l'agriculture biologique, la permaculture ou la biodynamie et le mouvement de retour à la terre."

A variety of approaches to delineate metropolitan areas have been developed. Systematic comparisons of these approaches in terms of the urban landscape that they generate are however few. This paper aims to fill this gap. The paper focuses on Indonesia and makes use of the availability of data on commuting flows, remotely-sensed nighttime lights, and spatially fine-grained population, to construct metropolitan areas using the different approaches that have been developed in the literature. The analysis finds that the maps and characteristics of Indonesia's urban landscape vary substantially, depending on the approach used. Moreover, combining information on the metro areas generated by the different approaches with detailed micro-data from Indonesia's national labor force survey, the paper shows that the estimated size of the agglomeration wage premium depends nontrivially on the approach used to define metropolitan areas.

The youthful vigour of urbanization in North America has promulgated a dominant perspective on urban theory, specifically on suburbs, that establishes the United States as the norm against which all other contexts are measured. However, much of the vocabulary surrounding the American experience isn't applicable to the wider world. Old Europe, New Suburbanization? takes us on a journey of rediscovery into some of Europe's oldest metropolises. The volume's contributors reveal the great variety of patterns and processes of urbanization that make Europe a fruitful ground for furthering the diversity of global suburbanisms. The effects of urban history found in such cities as Athens, London, Madrid, Montpellier, and Sofia, varies greatly due to the sheer variety of economic, industrial, land, and expansionist policies at play on the continent. This collection highlights the varied historical and geographical manifestations that have shaped urban areas and provides evidence for new processes of suburbanization.

Urban sprawl is one of the key planning issues today. This book compares Western Europe and the USA, focusing on anti-sprawl policies. The USA is known for its settlement patterns that emphasize low-density suburban development and extreme automobile dependence, whereas European countries emphasize higher densities, pro-transit policies and more compact urban growth. Yet, on closer inspection, the differences are not as wide as first appears. A key feature of the book is the attention given to France; its experience is little known in the English-speaking world. The book concludes that both continents can offer each other useful insights and perhaps policy guidance.

La Cote d'Ivoire est en quete d'une strategie de developpement qui lui permettra d'atteindre le statut de pays a revenu intermediaire, ce qui represente un defi qui necessiterait un taux de croissance annuel de 10 % pendant plus de 13 ans. L'experience des economies developpees et emergentes demontre que le produit interieur brut (PIB) par habitant augmente avec la progression de l'urbanisation. Neanmoins, l'economie de la Cote d'Ivoire affiche des performances insuffisantes sur le plan de l'urbanisation. L'urbanisation et le revenu par habitant ont une correlation negative depuis la fin des annees 1970, et la pauvrete augmente. Au lieu d'envisager le developpement des villes individuellement, un plan d'urbanisation reussie devrait considerer les villes de la Cote d'Ivoire comme un portefeuille d'actifs qui se distinguent les uns des autres par leur taille, leur emplacement et la densite de leur population. Les auteurs de L'Urbanisation diversifiee : Le cas de la Cote d'Ivoire identifient trois types de villes, fondees sur leurs contributions a la croissance et a la creation d'emplois : les connecteurs globaux ; les connecteurs regionaux, situees le long des corridors d'echanges et des transports regionaux ; et les connecteurs locaux, qui generent les economies de localisation necessaires a l'agro-industrie. Les parties prenantes des administrations nationales et infranationales et du secteur prive ont formule une vision commune de l'urbanisation en Cote d'Ivoire : villes planifiees, structurees, competitives, attractives, inclusives et organisees autour de poles de developpement. Afin de realiser cette vision et d'atteindre le statut de pays a revenu intermediaire, les decideurs politique ivoiriens doivent agir de toute urgence pour promouvoir une urbanisation diversifiee pour tous les types de villes. Cette presente etude identifie des contraintes principales et des enjeux dans quatre domaines : la planification, les connexions, l'ecologisation, et le financement des villes.

How should the metropolis be governed? What is the appropriate scale to consider and organize local governance and communities? Bringing together an interdisciplinary and international body of scholarly work, City-Regions in Prospect? explores the city-region as both an evolving concept and as a growing area of planning practice. Contributors raise critical questions about the ways in which governance reform is being reshaped and whether current trends towards rescaling and rebounding cities actually address local challenges of urbanization and globalization. These essays highlight the tensions and uncertainties between the city-region as a concept and the experiences of local communities when municipal policies are applied. Proposing a challenge to scholars and municipal leaders to account for flexibility, adaptability to local contexts, social robustness, and community engagement, City-Regions in Prospect? Captures the growing relevance and importance of cities in a rapidly urbanizing world.

Apres avoir tout au long de son histoire fonctionne en metropole nationale, fes a ete releguee au modeste rang de capitale regionale, consecutivement aux mutations profondes induites par la colonisation et par l'annexion du maroc a l'espace economique europeen. Son probleme majeur reside actuellement dans la necessite d'integrer ses nombreux heritages economiques, sociaux, culturels et urbanistiques aux necessites du monde moderne. C'est ainsi que, sous l'effet de la croissance demographique et des desequilibres du marche de l'emploi, son economie a tendance a s'informaliser de plus en plus ; pendant que l'immigration a deja destructure ses hierarchies sociales traditionnelles et contribue au gonflement des spheres sociales pauvres ces mutations devaient se traduire par une forte extension des formes d'habitat non normatives et tenir en echec les politiques de maitrise urbaine. De la, une crise d'identite ; mise en evidence par l'eclatement des territorialites traditionnelles et confrontee par la deroute de citadins face aux bouleversements qui traversent leur ville et par la non identification des neo-citadins au modele culturel de la ville hote. Est-ce la une "crise urbaine" ou plutot les premisses d'une transition vers une nouvelle ville, une nouvelle forme de citadinite ? -- From http://www.theses.fr/1994TOUR1001 (March 10, 2017.
After having functioned as a national metropolis, fes has been relegate to the modest rank of a regional capital, following the deep changes induced bye colonization and annexation of morocco to the european economic space. Presently, the problem of fes lies in the necessity to integrate its economic, social, cultural and urbanistic heritage to the demands of the modern world. Owning to demographic growth and unbalanced employment market, the economy of fes is becoming excessively informal. Migration has already destroyed the traditional social hierarchies of fes, thus contributing to the elagement of poor social spheres. These changes have resulted in an extension of non-normative dwelling as well as the control of urban expansion. Hence an identity crisis illustrated by the burst of traditional territorialities and reinforced by the confusion of town-dwellers by the changes affecting their town, and the attitude of neo-twon-dwellers who are not willing to abide by the cultural model of the host town. Is this an "urban crisis" or rather the premisse of transition toward a new town, a new form townsmanship ? -- From http://www.theses.fr/1994TOUR1001 (March 10, 2017.

North American gated communities, African squatter settlements, European housing estates, and Chinese urban villages all share one thing in common: they represent types of suburban space. As suburban growth becomes the dominant urban process of the twenty-first century, its governance poses an increasingly pressing set of global challenges. In Suburban Governance: A Global View, editors Pierre Hamel and Roger Keil have assembled a groundbreaking set of essays by leading urban scholars that assess how governance regulates the creation of the world's suburban spaces and everyday life within them. With contributors from ten countries on five continents, this collection covers the full breadth of contemporary developments in suburban governance. Examining the classic North American model of suburbia, contemporary alternatives in Europe and Latin America, and the emerging suburbanisms of Africa and Asia, Suburban Governance offers a strong analytical introduction to a vital topic in contemporary urban studies.

• Opposition in context
• Saint-Clair Bridge : a well-managed enterprise and successful monopoly

• A fine balance.

When Lyon's population experienced significant growth in the eighteenth century, architect Jean-Antoine Morand made a radical proposal: France's second city would expand across the river Rhone, making him rich in the process. Intense work and bitter rivalries resulted, although they bore fruit only long after Morand had died on the guillotine in 1794. In Ambitions Tamed, Pierre Reynard profiles Morand's career to provide a case-study of the possibilities of urban reform and refashioning within the courtly society of the Old Regime. Morand's story offers fascinating insights into social and professional advancement in a society defined by privilege, the workings of a complex urban political culture, relationships between a provincial city and the capital, the role of factions in determining the success or failure of enterprises and reforms, and the technical and financial aspects of late eighteenth-century urban projects. Ambitions Tamed illuminates the literature and methodologies of urban development, economic and entrepreneurial history, intellectual history, and environmental history in order to explain more fully the relationships among enlightened principles, established power structures, and new initiatives at the dawn of urban expansion.

Since the Middle Ages Europe has been one of the most urbanized continents on the planet and Europe's cities have firmly stamped their imprint on the continent's economic, social, political, and cultural life. This study of European cities and towns from the fall of the Roman Empire to the present day looks both at regional trends from across Europe and also at the widely differing fortunes of individual communities on the roller coaster of European urbanization. Taking a wide-angled view of the continent that embraces northern and eastern Europe as well as the city systems of the Mediterranean and western Europe, it addresses important debates ranging from the nature of urban survival in the post-Roman era to the position of the European city in a globalizing world. The book is divided into three parts, dealing with the middle ages, the early modern period, and the nineteenth and twentieth centuries - with each part containing chapters on urban trends, the urban economy, social developments, cultural life and landscape, and governance. Throughout, the book addresses key questions such as the role of migration, including that of women and ethnic minorities; the functioning of competition and emulation between cities, as well as issues of inter-urban cooperation; the different ways civic leaders have sought to promote urban identity and visibility; the significance of urban autonomy in enabling cities to protect their interests against the state; and not least why European cities and towns over the period have been such pressure cookers for new ideas and creativity, whether economic, political, or cultural.

Small Guides to Big Issues is a new series of accessible introductions to the global challenges of the twenty-first century. The books in this series de-bunk myths and raise questions about the global economic and political system and how it works. They are designed for campaigners and activists, students and researchers, and anyone interested in looking behind the headlines. Produced in partnership with Oxfam, each book provides an informative and thought-provoking guide to current trends and debates, and what needs to happen in order to end poverty and injustice. Every year tens of millions of people abandon rural areas of the South for life in the city. With education, health care and even safe water in short supply, cities risk becoming sites of violent conflict for future generations. And yet world governments are doing little to address these demographic shifts. Jeremy Seabrook offers a vivid portrait of the lives of people who migrate from impoverished villages to towns and cities, the changes they face, and the impact these changes have on their psyche and well-being. Contrasting the attitudes of today's governments with those of the past, the book provides a sharp critique of global policies, and an ideal introduction to the impact of urbanisation on modern life.

At the start of the 21st century there has been a marked shift - both economic and political - from the West to the East. Dubai vies with other Gulf cities to create the ultimate Middle Eastern hub for business, culture and leisure. China's feverish construction industry is operating at an unprecedented scale, as it builds higher and faster than anyone else. At the heart of these turbo-fuelled visions is a renewed commitment to the idea of the future city. What distinguishes these kinds of cities from the vast majority of those we already live in?One simple fact: most arise from a 'degree-zero' condition in the urban equivalent of seconds instead of decades. "Cities from Zero" focuses on Dubai and the Far East, and asks: are we in the presence of new, proto-typical urban conditions? Are these cities subject to and the product of particular political regimes? Do they merely further the cliches of globalisation by collaging the bad bits of western cities? Or are "Cities from Zero" actually inventive in ways that elude our current critical judgement? A compelling cast of researchers, theorists, architects and documentalists report from the ground-zero of urban tabula rasa. This publication is produced through the AA's 'Architectural Urbanism, Social and Political Space' Research Cluster.

SAGE Reference is proud to announce the Encyclopedia of American Urban History. Edited by one of the leading scholars of urban studies, David Goldfield, this Encyclopedia offers an accurate and authoritative historical approach to the dramatic urban growth experienced in the United States during the 20th century. The United States is now an urban nation, but only officially since the early 20th century. However, long before then their cities played crucial roles in the economic and political development of northern America, as magnets for immigrants from within the continent and from abroad and as centres of culture and innovation. The discipline of urban history is really a phenomenon of post-World War II scholarship. After a generation of pathbreaking scholarship, that has reoriented and enlightened our perception of American city, this two-volumes Encyclopedia of American Urban History offer both a summary and an interpretation of the field. With contributions from leading academics in their fields, this authoritative resource offers an interdisciplinary approach by covering topics including: economics; geography; anthropology; politics; and sociology. The Encyclopedia of American Urban History is a fundamental reference work which grounds and inspires future research in the field. It is an essential resource for any academic library.

SAGE Reference is proud to announce the Encyclopedia of American Urban History. Edited by one of the leading scholars of urban studies, David Goldfield, this Encyclopedia offers an accurate and authoritative historical approach to the dramatic urban growth experienced in the United States during the 20th century. The United States is now an urban nation, but only officially since the early 20th century. However, long before then their cities played crucial roles in the economic and political development of northern America, as magnets for immigrants from within the continent and from abroad and as centres of culture and innovation. The discipline of urban history is really a phenomenon of post-World War II scholarship. After a generation of pathbreaking scholarship, that has reoriented and enlightened our perception of American city, this two-volumes Encyclopedia of American Urban History offer both a summary and an interpretation of the field. With contributions from leading academics in their fields, this authoritative resource offers an interdisciplinary approach by covering topics including: economics; geography; anthropology; politics; and sociology. The Encyclopedia of American Urban History is a fundamental reference work which grounds and inspires future research in the field. It is an essential resource for any academic library.
