Is there a basic demand that underlies these needs? Is the idea of rights to the city a focus for that demand? This meeting explores the idea that Right to the City (RTTC) is a good focus for these needs and demands. It is called by individuals from UCL's Bartlett School of Planning, UCL's Urban Lab, the London-based international journal CITY, and the Just Space Network of London community groups. The meeting is the start of a potential series triggered partly by the talks given last autumn in London by Peter Marcuse, veteran lawyer, planning educator and activist in New York. It takes advantage of the presence in London of 2 activists who have been involved with the US RTTC movement and of the discussion advanced and continuing in CITY by Peter Marcuse and his colleagues. This meeting will be a series of short talks on the London issues, a short talk on the USA movement and then time for a substantial structured debate and discussion.</div>  </div> <b>Michael Edwards </b>is a Senior Lecturer and Leverhulme Fellow in the Bartlett School of Planning at University College London.</div>  </div> <b>Bob Catterall </b>is Editor-in-Chief of City journal.</div>  </div> <b>Andrea Gibbons </b>is an assistant editor of City journal and a research student at the London School of Economics.</div>  </div> <b>Celine Kuklowsky </b>is an assistant editor of City journal and works in the Social Policy Department at the London School of Economics.</div>  </div> Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Catterall Bob droit à la ville économie Edwards Michael équité sociale Gibbons Andrea injustice Kuklowsky Celine London Londres mouvement social planification Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mass mobilisations and episodes of collective violence have been a constant element in the development of large Indian cities over the twentieth century, and the emergence of a deep fracture between the Hindu and the Muslim community has informed social, political and cultural transformations in post-colonial urban environments. Taking Ahmedabad city (north-western India) as a case study, this paper analyses the explosion of collective violence as part of long-term dynamics of urban transformation. Group tensions can be seen as the expression of social, economic and spatial inequalities that consolidated unbalanced patterns of urban territorial and demographic growth. At the same time, the management of urban growth at a political level contributed to the construction of an urban geography where social differences are inscribed in the organisation of the space. In this context, episodes of collective violence have two dimensions: on one side, they can be read as moments when the many instances of inequality find expression in open confrontations at a street level; on the other, violence leaves deep marks in the city’s social and physical landscape and, in this sense, it is an integral element in the process of urban construction and organisation over time.</div>  </div> <b>Tommaso Bobbio </b>is a postgraduate research student in the Department of History at Royal Holloway University of London.</div>  </div> Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Ahmadabad Ahmedabad aménagement de l'espace conflit urbain développement urbain fragmentation sociale Inde India ségrégation urbaine tissu urbain violence urbaine Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

While the notion of "the right to the city" was popularized by Henri Lefebvre in the late 1960s, it has become something of a keyword among contemporary critical urban<br /> theorists for analyzing struggles to reappropriate urban space towards collective social uses under circumstances in which private capital and state institutions are dominating the urban process. It thus provides a focus for reflecting on the legacies and contemporary possibilities of critical urban theory, and exploring its relation to practice, in the context of early 21st century transformations and struggles.<br /> <br /> Specifically, the conference aims to investigate the evolution of critical urban theory since its consolidation over three decades ago, and the changing relation of critical urban theories to ongoing struggles over the form and pathway of urban development (often seeing "urban" as a crystallization of the societal). Inquiry into this relationship entails an analysis of a number of key theoretical, empirical and political issues, including : (a) the changing global and<br /> national parameters for urban development under post-1980s capitalism; (b) supranational, national and subnational political strategies to influence the trajectory of urbanization; and, against this background, (c) the proliferation of popular initiatives to reshape cities towards<br /> progressive or radical-democratic political ends, such as enhanced social and spatial justice, greater equality and socio-ecological sustainability; and (d) the alternatives available for action to produce desired changes in the constitution of urban life today.<br /> <br /> The contributors will grapple with the following issues, which have been proposed for debate and discussion at the conference by Peter Marcuse, whose oeuvre will be central to this conference:<br /> <br /> • How best to capture the transformation of cities under contemporary capitalism? To what extent can such transformations be understood through notions of neo-capitalism, neoliberalism or globalization?<br /> • What is “critical” about critical urban and social theory today? Is the Frankfurt School still relevant?<br /> • How does “space” structure and result from forms of inequality, and how has this role changed in both historical and contemporary contexts?<br /> • Is another type of city—and society—possible? Are there lessons to be drawn from earlier 20th century experiments, or those of the GDR?<br /> • What are the possibilities and limits of “urban planning”?<br /> • Oppositional movements yesterday and today: in what ways can which of them be actors for social change?</div>  </div> Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource aménagement urbain capitalisme développement durable développement urbain droit à la ville équité sociale Marcuse Peter mondialisation néolibéralisme politique de la ville société urbaine Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Many presentations also have accompanying slideshow presentations available for download in PDF format.</div>  </div> <b>Organisers' description : </b><br /> <br /> New York is certainly the most populous and perhaps the most urban of America’s cities. Such qualities are not universally seen as representing positive attributes in a country in which the traditional city is regarded with a certain degree of political and popular suspicion and which is continually elaborating new forms of exurbia.<br /> <br /> Understanding New York’s very particular nature and its prospects is an essential part of coming to terms with the evolving nature of the contemporary city, as it faces up to the reality of the extraordinary size jump of the later years of the 20th century. Scores of cities now have populations far larger than entire European nations. A city with an effective population of 18 million people - now the size of both New York and London - is an entity with no historic precedent. If such a metropolitan area is to achieve the cohesion and the sense of identity that until now has been regarded as the fundamental essence of any successful city, then it must either learn from and build upon New York’s experiences, or else find an alternative workable model.<br /> <br /> As the first stage in a cumulative sequence of conferences organized by the Cities programme of the London School of Economics, with the support of the Alfred Herrhausen Society for International Dialogue, to be held in six cities across four continents, Urban Age is exploring the deliberately provocative proposition that New York is almost all right. Through a mix of muddle and dynamism, New York is succeeding as a city. It continually attracts new people, and creates new jobs for them.</div>  </div> <b>Session topics : </b></div>  </div> Opening Session<br /> New York and London<br /> Labour Market and Work Places<br /> Lunch talk : An Urban Age in a Suburban Country?<br /> Mobility and Transport<br /> Debate : Connecting urban governance and planning<br /> Public Life and Urban Space<br /> Housing and Neighbourhoods<br /> Debate : Towards an urban model<br /> Conclusions : New York is almost alright?

From the slums of the global South to the wealthy financial centres of the West, Cities Under Siege traces how political violence now operates through the sites, spaces, infrastructures and symbols of the world's rapidly expanding metropolitan areas. Drawing on a wealth of original research, Graham shows how Western and Israeli militaries and security forces now perceive all urban terrain as a real or imagined conflict zone inhabited by lurking, shadow enemies, and urban inhabitants as targets that need to be continually tracked, scanned, controlled and targeted. He examines the transformation of Western militaries into high-tech urban counter-insurgency forces, the militarization and surveillance of March international borders, the labelling as "terrorist" of democratic dissent and Politics/Geography protests, and the enacting of legislation suspending "normal" civilian law. In doing so, he reveals how the New Military Urbanism now permeates the entire fabric of our urban lives, from subway and transport systems hardwired with high-tech "command and control" systems and the infection of civilian policy with all-pervasive "security" discourses; to the pervasive militarization of popular culture.</div>  </div> <b>Stephen Graham</b> is Professor of Cities and Society at Newcastle University, and previously taught at Durham and MIT, among other universities.

India’s urban society is experiencing the effects of increasing affluence coupled with persistent social inequalities and a scarcity of resources ranging from personal living space to transport and drinking water. Climate change and other escalating pressures further compound urban developments in India, making its urban agenda a global issue. Evaluating policy and project specific effects, the Urban Age India Conference helped draw the links between events and developments in India’s urbanised areas with trends worldwide, widening the lens from the local to the global.</div>  </div> <b>Session topics : </b></div>  </div> Welcome</div> The global urban context : The Urban Age and India; Cities in a Global Context; The Future of India’s Cities; Discussion</div> Envisioning the future for global cities : Reenergising English Cities and the London 2012 Olympics; Developing Urban Visions; Transforming Mumbai into a World-Class City; Mumbai: Which Way Forward; Discussion</div> Urban inequality</div> Housing the urban poor : Reforming the Housing Debate; Discussion and open debate</div> Dharavi - A global case study</div> International experiences : Housing for the Poor in Developing Country Cities: The Bogotá Case; The Mexico City: Ciudad Neza; Tokyo to Mumbai & Back;</div> Climate change and cities : Climate Change, Risk and Urbanisation; Green Delhi; Discussion</div> How cities are planned : Governance and City Design; Shaping the City</div> Case studies : Learning from Planning in Johannesburg; The São Paulo Case; Shaping Singapore; Discussion</div> Governing global cities : Governing Global Cities: Who Decides?</div> City leaders forum</div> Running cities debate</div> Closing remarks : Discussion and open debate</div>  </div> Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource aménagement urbain changement climatique équité sociale gouvernance Inde India logement logement social Mumbai pauvreté pays en développement planification urbanisation ville durable Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

What is a "Beirut normal"? Is it worth examining? The lecture puts forward these questions not in order to diminish the city's architectural output but to reveal aspects of the city that have been overwhelmed by the discourses of war and politics. Through a series of specific architectural and urban analyses, the lecture proposes that a certain urbanism could be derived out of seemingly unrelated attributes of the city such as the speculative intensities of development, Beirut's geography between countryside and Mediterranean, and its insatiable pursuit of "a worldly aesthetic."<br /> <br /> Cities are the magnets for more than half the world's population. In such urban conditions, architects are increasingly called into debates about environmental and social sustainability, governance, and social inequality. Shaping Cities is an Urban Age public lecture series organised by LSE Cities that identifies the growing complexity of architectural practice in relation to the challenges of exponential urbanism.</div>  </div> <b>Hashim Sarkis</b> is the Aga Khan Professor of Landscape Architecture and Urbanism, Graduate School of Design, Harvard University.</div>  </div>  </div> Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Beirut Beyrouth développement urbain géographie urbaine guerre histoire urbaine identité reconstruction Sarkis Hashim
