Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2008 Description An account of the resource How is Globalisation changing the form and spatial structure of cities today? Deceptively simple, this question presents us with a number of methodological challenges and unanswered theoretical problems. What is globalization? Can we define a series of distinctive new phenomena constituting a coherent and logical outline? Do these phenomena influence the structure of cities today? If so, how? Our hypothesis is that processes related to globalisation have resulted in convergent transformation in urban spatial structure in some areas of global cities. However, convergent transformation emerges from very particular spatial, historic and social contexts. Old and new processes are in constant interplay and spatial outcomes are very different at first sight. The dichotomy between 'globalizing' and 'non-globalizing' spaces may contribute for social and spatial division and polarisation in cities. It also represents a new challenge for planners, who have to deal with often contradictory processes stemming from the global and local arenas. The primary hypothesis is supported by empirical evidence on the location patterns of command activities in the Randstad-Holland and Sao Paulo Metropolitan Region. Impacts on the distribution of economic activity, the constitution of business centralities and changes in spatial structure are evaluated in the two cases. We conclude that despite time-space compression caused by developments in transportation technologies and ICT, there is an enduring tendency towards agglomeration of advanced services. We argue that this is a result of the role played by urban technical networks and urban milieux in the organisation of economic activity. We simultaneously emphasize the importance of accessibility, visibility and face-to-face contacts, as necessary elements for the development of synergies between different agents: the urban 'buzz', essential for the appearance of innovation and creativity. The organisation of functional networks in urban territories where global flows are intense ('global cities') obeys a new logic derived from the acceleration of flows and increasing complexity of functional and technical networks in Post-Fordism. These new logic has produced new polycentric urban landscapes, with 'corporate centralities' structured around hubs of connectivity and transferability, where the transfer between several scales of operation (from local to global) is facilitated.

Differentiating between officially sanctioned, symbolic, and everyday monuments, this thesis theorises the narratological space composed by these objects: static, imagined and transitional, respectively. It argues that monumental sites are spaces of forgetting, rather than remembering, characterised through invisibility, opacity and mystification. Infused with paradox, monuments simultaneously reveal and conceal the histories and urban memories they are expected to commemorate. The discussion then turns to contemporary art, in particular memory installations, as a practice that counters the mystification inherent within urban space, actively exposing alternative pasts and memories. The thesis is divided into three chapters. The first analyses the contemporary, officially sanctioned monuments of Vilnius, Lithuania that celebrate an ancient nationalism, alongside two neighboring sculpture parks that display retired Soviet icons, with a particular focus on Gintaris Karosas’ sculpture Infotree LNK. The second chapter theorises symbolic monuments, and focuses on the Japanese theme park Tobu World Square as a curiosity cabinet where the contemporary spatial practice, identified by Anthony Giddens, of “disembedding” is performed in miniature. It concludes with a discussion of Susan Norrie’s DVD installation of the park ENOLA. The third chapter examines everyday monuments, focusing on the industrial ruins of Manchester to unravel the archival aspects of these monuments and their gentrification. It closes with a study of Cornelia Parker’s installation Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View. Through these urban case studies and accompanying memory installations, the thesis explores how urban monuments disguise certain histories and memories of a city, and how art can reclaim alternative stories and memories from urban amnesia.

This thesis is concerned with exploring the personal conceptions, passions and frameworks, as well as the political and professional identities, of activists and community workers in these NCs. It also explores stories of practice and of how these subjective experiences have been shaped through the discourses around the NCs, some of which include feminism, environmentalism, multiculturalism and social justice. The following key research questions encouraged stories of community practice: What do the terms empowerment, participation, community service and citizenship mean for community organisation? What did community workers and organisers wish for when they became involved in these community organisations? What happened to the oppositional knowledges and dissent that are part of the organisational histories? Foucault’s concept of governmentality is used to explore the possibility that these NCs are also sites of ‘government through community’. This theoretical proposition questions taken-for-granted assumptions about community development and empowerment approaches. It draws on a willingness of the research participants to take up postmodern and poststructuralist theories. ‘Practising place’ emerges in the research as a description of a particular form of activism and community work associated with these inner city Sydney NCs. The central dimensions of ‘practising place’ include: a commitment to identity work; an openness to exploring diverse and fluid citizenship and identity formations; and the use of local knowledges to develop a critique of social processes. Another feature of ‘practising place’ is that it involves an analysis of the operation of power that extends beyond structuralist explanations of how to bring about social change and transform social relations. The research has deconstructed assumptions about empowerment, community participation, community organisations and community development, consequently another way of talking about the work of small locally based community organisations emerges. This new way of talking builds upon research participants’ understandings of power and demonstrates the utility of applying a poststructural analysis to activist and community work practices. Overall the research suggests that if activists and community workers are to work with new understandings of the operation of power, then the languages and social practices associated with activist and community work traditions need to be constantly and reflexively analysed and questioned.

Throughout history, classical cities have been interpreted and experienced in various ways. But aesthetics has never been accentuated as much as today. Venice has been an important center of commerce, a naval power, and it has had a lot of influence in arts and culture. But in our days it is a tourist trap and a cluster of so called world heritage. The development of tourism is the main reason for the fact that many old cities have become venues for leisure and entertainment, sometimes so that everyday life itself has been pushed to the margins. There is a lot one can learn by studying the history of the aesthetic appreciation of a city. Sometimes the way a city has been enjoyed has changed following the development of traffic. In Venice water buses have replaced the slow and silent gondolas, and since the building of the railway tourists have been approaching the city from a new direction, so that her façade which was built for seafarers has almost become forgotten. There are also themes of change and mobility which are peculiarly Venetian. What is the nature of a city where there are more tourists than inhabitants? And how does one experience a city where water dominates? These questions, and many more, are discussed in Learning from Venice, and side by side with applied aesthetics, the work of philosophers like Walter Benjamin, Gianni Vattimo, and John Dewey, among many others, enter a dialogue with this extraordinary city. Themes discussed include also e.g. walking, surface and depth, Venice as kitsch, and Venice as a museum.

This normative and undifferentiated treatment of civil society has not only led to a wide spread scholarly debate on the very concept of civil society but also to the emergence of alternative radical and transformatory paradigms about state-civil society relations. Set in this backdrop, the thesis evolves a conceptual framework, develops research tools, and applies them in Mysore, a South Indian city, in pursuit of empirical evidence on the nature of civil society and the effects they induce on various spheres of urban planning and governance. In this regard, collective empowerment of individuals, changes in the institutional arrangements, and the outcomes of decision making processes are identified as the possible effects of associational civil society and are, therefore, used as dependent variables. On the other hand, the organizational attributes of civil society, the political opportunity structures, mobilization of social structures and the struggle over symbolic capital (for e.g. shaping public opinion) in the public sphere are conceptualized as determinants of the effects of civil society. The study reveals that the associational terrain of urban governance in Mysore is highly differentiated in terms of organizational attributes, ethnic composition, the degree of political orientation, functional domains and spatial levels. The state and the civil society are shown as sharing a mutually influential and inseparable relationship. The study generates ample empirical evidence to conclude that associational forms of civil society do induce effects on the level of collective empowerment of individuals, the public sphere and the institutions of urban planning and governance in the city of Mysore. These effects are depicted as outcomes of the complex interplay between various factors such as the differential organizational features of associations; socio-economic attributes of their constituents; their ability to organize and mobilize social structures; the strategies they use to influence public opinion in the public sphere; and finally the state’s response to their actions. The study also uncovers the potential of associational civil society to enhance rationality of urban planning in Mysore.

The geo-strategic position of these cities in between rising economies in Asia and traditional centers of economic growth in Europe and North America has influenced the rapid local, urban development in a global knowledge economy context. The present research document presents an analysis of three case-study cities on the Arabian Peninsula : Dubai, Doha and Manama. A newly defined method triangulation shows that non-physical, functional networks and physical, urban development are interdependent. Competitiveness and attractiveness are identified as necessary pre-requisites for cities to retain and extend their significance in the global knowledge economy context. An integrated urban and regional planning approach is seen to be a key instrument to establish global competitiveness and attractiveness.

This thesis presents an analysis of Thai governments’ urban poverty alleviation policy. The central aim of the thesis is to question whether Thai government policy on urban poverty alleviation can be effective for the poor and the poorest in urban slum communities. Qualitative methods are used, supported by documentary research, and the author’s own experience of being a community development worker and researcher in the urban slums of Thailand over a period of 18 years. I have endeavoured to elicit information from the range of stakeholders engaged with contemporary urban poverty alleviation policy in Bangkok. Thus the research includes the perspectives of policy makers, the poor, and the poorest. I distinguish between these latter two groups by describing those who have access to some government provision for the urban poor and those who are excluded from such provision. I interviewed 18 policy makers, 15 community savings groups committee members, and 65 of the excluded poorest. I investigated the development of policy relating to the urban poor through an analysis of key government reports and documents. I examined all of the government policy documents relating to policies for urban poverty alleviation and the Thai Governments’ five year National Economic and (later) Social Development Plans from 1961 to 2006. I also analysed each of the fifty four Government statements on their policies to the National Assembly covering this period. This research produced two major new vehicles for understanding and interpreting Thai government urban poverty alleviation policy. First, the policy document research enabled me to construct a critical account of the historical development of policy relating to the urban poor, particularly those in slum communities. Second, the interviews produced a unique view of the often desperate lives lived by some Thai citizens who are part of communities residing in what is estimated as 2,000 slums in Thailand. This view is seen through the eyes of both the urban poor and the policy makers. I found attitudes of the policy makers towards the urban poor contain a number of diverse stances, both negative and positive. The Government’s preferred way of helping, previously by housing improvements, and recently by promoting credit and loan schemes with a low interest rate to strengthen community-based organisations and emphasise self-reliance, does help some of the poor; it also excludes others. An important discussion in the thesis is about self-reliance. This is widely referred to by all stakeholders-from HM The King, through leading thinkers including Buddhist scholars, to the poorest in the slum communities. I analyse what such a concept means to each of these groups. I have found there may be little agreement, either on what is being spoken about, or what the implications of self-reliance are for helping Thailand’s poorest citizens. The thesis is also concerned with how to improve the situations of the poor. There is therefore a review of some curricula relating to the training of social/community workers to assess how well students are prepared for their work. The conclusions make some practical recommendations for change at a policy level, via civil society, and in professional education. The direct education and training of the poor is seen as crucial to any substantial improvements. My own experience, producing the thesis in a western country, is included throughout. This is in order to reflect on my learning and the challenges of researching within and outside the Thai social structure.

The issue is extensive and complex since the traditional explanation of the concept of 'urban' as described under the realm of the state has been eroded by the events of the last three decades. These events have meant a new insertion of regions, countries and cities in the global economy and the changing relationship between the state and the markets in the provision of goods and services.

In 2007 alone, China sent around 144,000 students abroad, 167 times of the number of students in 1978. This large scale of student migration has often raised debate on brain drain , because many of these student migrants do not return to China upon graduation. However, there has been a reverse trend in the past decade as China witnessed a growing wave of return migration. More and more Chinese students are coming back to China after their studies and work abroad due to the strong economic situation and promising career opportunities at home. These returnees are given the nick-name Haigui or, in English, sea-turtles. This doctoral research is therefore an academic inquiry to this emerging social phenomenon. While international migration is mainly researched on the national level, this innovative doctoral research seeks to understand the relationship between migration and global city formation. To do so, it analyses inter-city migration flow by applying a relational case study of circular student migration between Shanghai and Paris and examines the rationale behind return migration and the role of management/business student returnees from French business schools on Shanghai s pathway to become China s premier global city. This research reveals that global cities have become the strategic points for Chinese talents (students and skilled professionals) acting the role as sending, transiting and receiving sites, which are interconnected in the dynamic process of knowledge accumulation, contact making and network creation. Chinese student returnees contribute to the development of Shanghai by actively engaging in transnational activities including developing and maintaining cross-border organisation/corporate ties and personal networks, knowledge transfer, acting as global-local business and cultural interface, as well as enriching cosmopolitan and multicultural business and cultural spaces in Shanghai.

How, when and where commodities are transacted is essential in this urban drama of mutual relationships. This thesis explores how consumption and everyday life in cities are interrelated. The specific objective is to analyse how commodity transaction situations are configured and constrained in time and space, and, how consumer service spaces are formed in and are part of city formation. Transactions are conceptualised as economically and socially situated material projects constituted by consumers, commodities and producers. Commodities and values are transferred and created through transaction spaces. The theoretical perspective is framed around consumption and production of spaces, and particularly informed by Hägerstrand’s time-geographical thinking and Lefebvre’s work on urban space. Methodologically different examples of consumption projects and spaces are used to discuss configurations and formations for commodity transactions. The thesis stresses material and time-spatial constraints for commodity transaction and it discusses the blurring of boundaries between what conventionally has been separate social and economic activities and places. Changing transaction configurations and the formation of consumer service spaces in the city are explored through analysis of different consumption places and commodities such as books, coffee and clothes and property development projects in Stockholm city centre. Transaction configurations display geographical and historical continuities and changes as well as time-spatial flexibility and spatial fixity. Transactions spaces are continuously formed and reformed through processes embedded in the global cultural economy, urban development and politics, as well as through people’s everyday life. Producers’ strategic production and consumers’ tactical appropriation of transactions spaces are accentuated as crucial in the spatial practice of transactions, places and city formation.

Dans une approche écologique, nous prenons en considération plusieurs paramètres en étudiant, en situation réelle, la perception et le ressenti liés à l'environnement, la vitesse de marche, la représentation mentale et enfin le stress, vécu et objectivé. Nous faisons l'hypothèse que la structure urbaine a un effet notable sur l'ensemble de ces paramètres, affectant ou facilitant le déplacement. Notre protocole a mobilisé 27 personnes aveugles, utilisant une canne blanche ou un chien-guide sur un trajet urbain de 1 km, qui offre cinq scènes urbaines successives (« Ruelle A », « Place », « Berges », « Rue » et « Ruelle B »). La première session s'est faite au bras du chercheur afin d'étudier la perception et le ressenti liés à l'environnement, grâce à la technique des trajets commentés. La seconde session a été consacrée à la mémorisation du trajet. Enfin, la troisième session, intégralement enregistrée sur vidéo, a consisté en un déplacement autonome. Nous avons également enregistré l'activité électrodermale in situ, afin d'en saisir les variations au fur et à mesure du trajet. Nous avons, enfin, demandé aux participants de dessiner le trajet effectué (carte mentale). Les résultats indiquent que les différentes scènes présentent des ambiances vécues comme très différentes par les marcheurs aveugles. L'environnement influence le ressenti en termes de plaisir, de sentiment de sécurité et de stress. Il influence également la vitesse de marche, ainsi que la capacité à mener le trajet à son terme. Les « Ruelles » et la « Rue » sont les scènes les plus favorables au déplacement, alors que les espaces ouverts comme la « Place » et les « Berges » se sont avérés défavorables. L'analyse de l'activité électrodermale révèle également un effet de la scène. Elle nous a permis d'identifier des zones problématiques sur le trajet. Ces n½uds correspondent aux lieux où les marcheurs aveugles doivent prendre des décisions importantes (traverser la chaussée, choisir une orientation). Enfin, la représentation mentale semble être en rapport avec les aspects précédents et varie en fonction des scènes. Les lieux les plus sécurisants sont sous-représentés, alors que les lieux vécus comme les plus stressants sont surreprésentés dans les dessins. Ces résultats invitent à prendre en considération la perception incarnée et l'expérience que les personnes aveugles ont de leur environnement dans l'élaboration des aménagements de nos cités, pour permettre à tous une meilleure autonomie et liberté de déplacement.

Caractéristiques de l'émergence des "nouvelles classes moyennes" à la fin des années 1970, désignés au début des années 2000 par la catégorie médiatique de "bobos", ceux-ci contribuent au changement urbain par leurs choix et leurs investissements multidimensionnels dans l'espace résidentiel. La première partie de la thèse est consacrée à l'étude des générations de "gentrifieurs" des Pentes de la Croix-Rousse à Lyon et du Bas Montreuil en région parisienne, de leurs profils sociologiques et des ressorts de leur choix résidentiel des années 1970 aux années 2000. La deuxième partie est dédiée à l'analyse localisée du "travail de gentrification" mené par les nouveaux résidents du Bas Montreuil et à l'articulation de ce travail à leurs trajectoires sociale, professionnelle, militante et familiale. Fondée sur des entretiens approfondis avec des "gentrifieurs" de diverses époques, étayée par l'analyse de statistiques localisées sur la longue durée, systématiquement replacée dans les contextes globaux et locaux, l'enquête permet d'éclairer les ressorts sociaux des mutations des quartiers anciens de centre-ville et de proche banlieue en même temps que les recompositions des fractions supérieures des classes moyennes.

Directeur de thèse Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Farah, Jihad Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2011 Description An account of the resource La thèse s'inscrit dans le débat sur une des "grandes questions urbaines contemporaines": comment dans la multiplication des projets individuels et collectifs de plus en plus fragmentés se construit la ville d'aujourd'hui? Dans un contexte d'étalement urbain continu et de crise des "grands récits" de la modernité, l'individu comme le groupe connaît de plus en plus de difficultés à trouver sa place, son "lieu", en ville. La recherche de l'entre-soi et l'altérité devient de plus en plus importante dans cette quête. La thèse revient sur les différents concepts traitant des différenciations sociospatiales en ville (ségrégation, marginalisation, relégation, fragmentation). Elle remarque que ces concepts favorisent une lecture systémique de la réalité urbaine où les éléments factoriels économiques, culturels et politiques ont un rôle central dans l'explication. Tout en se mettant dans la continuité de ces travaux, la thèse privilégie une lecture se basant sur trois entrées: - La crise de citoyenneté urbaine (crise de définitions de la ville, de ses limites, de ses citoyens, de leurs droits et surtout de sa gouvernance) comme principale grille explicative - Le local. Ce dernier étant d'une part l'échelle où ces différenciations sociospatiales sont les plus manifestes, et d'autre part car c'est à cette échelle que les phénomènes systémiques doivent se "redéfinir" en s'inscrivant dans le contexte. - Les périphéries et les banlieues où la cirse de citoyenneté est plus nette et où les acteurs locaux, dans un milieu à la recherche de sens, et en continuelle redéfinition, cherchent à avoir plus d'emprise sur leur milieu direct. Dans ce contexte la thèse avance que les spécificités du local, notamment la gouvernance locale et la spécialisation économique ont un poids déterminant dans la définition des dynamiques territoriales et par suite des différenciations sociospatiales. Cette hypothèse est déclinée en deux hypothèses opérationnelles: 1., L'une s'inscrivant dans une perspective historique: Si incontestablement des dynamiques induites de la globalisation affectent les différenciations sociospatiales dans l'espace beyrouthin, nous pensons que l'héritage d'un temps long dans ses dimensions politiques et économiques pèse encore fortement sur ces différenciations dans les banlieues de Beyrouth. 2. L'autre dans une perspective politique: La stabilisation du régime municipal est aujourd'hui la rationalité qui domine l'action municipale. Elle est déterminante de la gouvernance locale dans chaque commune et par suite consubstantielle de l'évolution des différenciations sociospatiales dans ces banlieues. Les banlieues de Beyrouth, considérées comme cas révélateur, sont retenues pour comme terrain d'étude Deux méthodes d'analyse complémentaires sont mobilisées. L'une dite diachronique essaie de repérer les constantes et les variables dans l'histoire d'un district de ces banlieues comprenant les actuelles banlieues sud et sud-est, en insistant sur les rôles particuliers de la gouvernance et de l'économie. L'autre dite synchronique tente de souligner des liens entre des typologies de gouvernance urbaine différentes et leurs impacts en termes de différenciations sociospatiales en mobilisant le concept de régimes urbains. Les principales conclusions sont: - Des arrière-pays consolidés, avant l'étalement des villes centres, ayant leurs propres dynamiques: leur urbanisation, leurs économies et leurs gouvernances locale, leurs trajectoires propres connaissent très tôt la fragmentation urbaine (conclusion en porte-à-faux par rapport au corpus de la fragmentation soulignant le rôle fondateur de la globalisation) - L'architecture du régime urbain local et sa recherche de stabilité interne affectent fortement l'articulation de l'échelle d'action locale aux échelles d'action supérieures. Comme elles affectent certaines formes de dynamiques territoriales locales (notamment celles inscrites dans le registre de construction identitaire des territoires). Toutefois elles semblent avoir moins d'impact sur les aspects centralités et flux des dynamiques territoriales. - La fragmentation politique du territoire peut s'avérer une ressource importante pour les acteurs locaux pour négocier et s'approprier une place, un "lieu" dans les agglomérations urbaines d'aujourd'hui. D'autre part, devant la pression continue que connaissent les territoires urbains des périphéries pour se redéfinir et s'articuler à de nouvelles entités sociospatiales en formation, on peut observer dans certains cas de la véritable innovation en termes de politiques urbaines. Ces municipalités peuvent représenter, comme dans le cas de certaines dans les banlieues de Beyrouth, des laboratoires qui font émerger des nouveaux outils urbains qui pourront servir pour penser et gérer la ville à d'autres échelles.

La hipótesis inicial fue plantear a la costa de la ciudad como una ¡°unidad de análisis histórica¡±, una unidad que construida a partir de la metodología desplegada posee la suficiente productividad para un trabajo de historia urbana, y otorga un nuevo significado al tema. Se analiza el proceso de ocupación y uso de las costas urbanas, junto a la complejización de los dispositivos materiales que vehiculan esa intervención en el espacio. Cómo ese proceso de ocupación fue variando en el tiempo y se vincula a un conjunto de relaciones culturales y técnicas. La construcción de nuevas infraestructuras portuarias en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX ©de infinita mayor capacidad y eficiencia operativa que sus antecesoras© no solo comunicó territorios lejanos con la ciudad, sino que con sus emergencias constructivas dentro de ella generaron accidentes artificiales que incidieron en la forma, uso y significación de gran parte del espacio urbano de esas ciudades, que simultáneamente en esos tiempos atravesaron procesos de fuerte expansión y complejización de sus estructuras urbanas. Este es el inicio del segmento temporal analizado, teniendo por otro extremo mediados de siglo XX, cuando nuevas necesidades portuarias provocan la obsolescencia de esas instalaciones que ya no crecerán mas en estos lugares de la ciudad, comenzando lentamente otra etapa de reutilización urbana que alcanzará su desarrollo sobre fines del XX hasta la actualidad. El caso empírico trabajado ©Santa Fe, Argentina© fue analizado considerando que los procesos espaciales de una sociedad no tienen en su totalidad ni un origen en esa misma sociedad ni tampoco fuera de ella, sino que son prácticas sobre necesidades particulares que procesan influencias y demandas tanto propias como ajenas. Y ello se presenta de manera mas evidente en los espacios costeros, donde el análisis necesariamente pasa por el entrelazado entre necesidades internas, demandas externas y mutuas influencias de modelos; pasa por el abordaje de un núcleo de relaciones constitutivo de una problemática que tiene carácter universal aun en una visibilidad circunstanciada. Por ello la tesis contiene, además de lo propio del caso y su abordaje riguroso con fuentes primarias, una evaluación de cómo fueron abordados en distintos casos y enfoques este tema, y como se ha utilizado este aparato para analizar el caso específico. Desarrollos analíticos mediante, la hipótesis demostró una productividad y riqueza otorgando una nueva significación al tema, condensado en tres definiciones que representan los aportes a una nueva interpretación del fenómeno y su contribución en el campo de estudios de las ciudades y su historia, tres definiciones que se verifican en el tiempo como un proceso de larga duración que puede ser reconstruido, y cuya contemporaneidad no es mas que una fase articulada temporalmente en esa extensión mayor. Dichas definiciones son: a. La costa como ¡°espacio público singular¡±; b. La costa como ¡°tema del plan urbano¡±; c. La costa como ¡°controversia de modernidades¡±. Las prácticas analizadas tanto del caso Santa Fe, como de otros globales que se encuentran relacionados temáticamente, o inmediatos que se vinculan empíricamente ?Ccomo los de las ciudades de la cuenca del Río de la Plata©Paran?¢?C, hacen converger episodios que van desde las infraestructuras y equipamientos urbanos, la emergencia del urbanismo, Le Corbusier y las pol??micas estéticas de la vanguardia, hasta las pugnas culturales entre cosmopolitismo y tradición, y definen a la costa no sólo como un lugar de proyecto, sino como un espacio donde se plasma un definido proceso histórico estructural de la ciudad Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context http://www.tdx.cat/handle/10803/6073;jsessionid=E6DD7EE5DA25C23BB8D650CFA5F91202.tdx1 http://lallier.msh-vdl.fr/theses/items/show/637 http://lallier.msh-vdl.fr/theses/archive/files/58ab0cfa261886ffa20e2ced2382f505.jpg Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya Subject The topic of the resource port, modern city, urban history, waterfronts, puerto, ciudad moderna, historia urbana, frentes de agua Title A name given to the resource Ciudad y Río : la construcción histórica de un paisaje (Santa Fe 1886-1952) Type The nature or genre of the resource Thèse Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Elle se propose de construire une sociologie des processus de gaytrification, c'est-à-dire des cas des gentrification impliquant significativement les gays, et s'inscrit au croisement de la sociologie urbaine et d'une sociologie des homosexualités. Le cadre d'enquête retenu est constitué par le quartier du Marais à Paris et le quartier du Village à Montréal, ces deux quartiers offrant des exemples de gaytrification depuis la fin des années 1970. Une première partie permet de montrer l'intérêt d'un tel objet et de construire un programme de recherche novateur qui mobilise des matériaux empiriques variés (statistiques, entretiens, archives, observations ethnographiques). La seconde partie montre comment différentes formes d'investissement de la part des gays ont favorisé, accentué ou accompagné la gentrification depuis la fin des années 1970 : émergence d'un secteur commercial gay, valorisation symbolique de certains lieux par la presse gay et investissement résidentiel du quartier par les ménages gays. Une troisième partie s'interroge précisément sur le cas des gays venus habiter le Marais et le Village. L'analyse de leurs trajectoires socio-résidentielles montre comment ils ont profondément renouvelé le paysage sociologique local et permet de comprendre le sens que le quartier prend dans leur trajectoire. On peut alors décrire des modes de vie et des pratiques du quartier qui contribuent à sa gentrification d'une manière néanmoins propre aux gays. Une quatrième et dernière partie renverse la perspective : si les gays ont profondément transformé le Village et le Marais, ces deux quartiers contribuent aussi à transformer ce que sont les individus. On examine alors l'hypothèse d'une socialisation gay par le quartier en montrant que l'espace urbain et le quartier constituent des instances de socialisation aux effets variés et plus ou moins puissants et durables à l'échelle des trajectoires individuelles.

Furthermore, our investigation is concerned with the theoretical debate on the incorporation of the spatial problematic into critical social theory. The approach to the urban socio-spatial constitution involves the problem of spatial segregation in S?Paulo. The areas where these municipal public parks are located relate directly to the city's contradictory socio-spatial segregation: whereas Ibirapuera Park is located in the Southwest region, which concentrates the best public and private urban services, Carmo Park is to be found in the deprived and crowded East periphery. Theoretically and methodologically, the investigation is framed by the sociospatial dialectic proposed by Henry Lefebvre. The hypothesis is expressly related to the central theoretical problem of this socio-spatial dialectic: if space is simultaneously a product of urban social relations and an agent that conditions the nature of those relations, as suggested by the socio-spatial dialectic, then the public parks of S?Paulo have a contradictory role within the city's socio-spatial configuration that goes beyond the logic of socio-spatial segregation. Conclusions on the role public parks play within the socio-spatial constitution of S?Paulo derive from an exploration of how the parks are used – which, in turn, involves an effort to apprehend the existing practices and representations of the parks' users. These are analysed by looking into the socio-spatial context that helped to bring them about. A contextual localization of the roots of the current users' practices and representations highlights the appearance of contradictory functions in the usage of each public park throughout the city's history of urban constitution. The contrast between both parks within a comprehensive overview of S?Paulo’s socio-spatial configuration provides the basis for analysing the contradictory roles that public parks play in the present-day constitution of S?Paulo.

Internally Venice was a metropolis bustling with merchants, craftsmen, travellers and visitors, amongst whom a great number uf established foreigners. Nearly eighty per cent of the city's population was made up of these labouring poor, who contributed significantly to the economic stability and prosperity ofthe Republic, as they provided the workforce for many of its industries. Venice was home to the world renowned Arsena/e, the biggest 'factory' in medieval and early modern period. It was there where the great Venetian galleys were built, armed, and launched into water, contributing to the Republic's economic prosperity, commercial and territorial expansion, as well as its defensive purposes. This thesis focuses on two of the most distinct working class communities in the city, the shipbuilding craftsmen, commonly known as Arsena/atti, and the seafaring Greek community. Both these groups, the former in charge of building these vessels, and the latter serving in them as sailors and captains, or similarly employed in the . shipbuilding industry, were two of the most prominent working class clusters in late Renaissance Venice. This study will attempt to look into the way of life of the maritime folk outside their workplace, in order to assess their financial and social standing - taking into consideration the places in which they lived, their households, their [mances, the social networks which they formed, and their religious and charitable activities - at a time of considerable demographic, economic, and social adjustments for the city. The examination of the two groups, established in the same neighbourhoods and united under the same occupational activities, will show that despite any linguistic, cultural, and religious diversity, their situation in life was very similar, and demonstrative of the circumstances of the Venetian working classes as a whole. Keeping in mind that early modern Venice's papa/ani have been considerably neglected by contemporary scholarship, the ultimate objective of this thesis is to initiate a basic study on the socio-economic life of the lower classes in one of the most populous and celebrated cities in medieval and early modern Europe.

Celles-ci ont créé l'actuelle ville de Kinshasa et ce, conformément à la logique des acteurs populaires et à leur modèle économique. Face à ce constat, une pensée interrogative sur la manière de produire la ville à partir de l'économie populaire s'est précisée. Les enjeux et conséquences d'une telle production de la ville ont constitué un défi majeur du développement du territoire. Visant à esquisser l'histoire sociale du développement du territoire urbain à travers l'évolution des structures spatiales et les modes d'appropriation, d'habitation, d'exploitation, de communication et de gestion d'espace pour expliquer les pratiques de sécurisation, la présente thèse a tenté d'éclairer les conditions économiques certes mais aussi solidaires, associatives, participatives?de ce développement du territoire. La richesse des résultats de deux enquêtes de terrain obtenus au moyen des photographies, des récits de vie, des interviews, des observations et des questionnaires constitue une mine d'informations sur non seulement l'habitat populaire et les métiers dans trois quartiers d'études caractérisés par leur multifonctionnalité (habitat, activités productives et récréatives) mais aussi sur les pratiques spatiales et sociales à travers lesquelles les acteurs populaires coproduisent leur territoire. Ces pratiques sont constituantes d'une réelle capacité d'organisation et de gestion d'un territoire qui doit amener à repenser le rôle de ces acteurs dans l'élaboration des politiques de développement. A travers une analyse clinique des pratiques de la production spatiale et sociale de la ville, cette thèse montre combien le foncier et l'économie populaire sont des facteurs importants de sécurisation pour les acteurs populaires.

Ce travail de thèse s'inscrit dans la recherche de nouveaux modes de conception de notre espace habité pour assurer le développement durable des villes. Il vise à promouvoir un nouveau rapport de la société à l'espace public urbain, à travers la création d'ambiances urbaines de qualité, confortables et adaptées aux conditions climatiques locales. Cette thèse propose un éclairage spécifique et technique des ambiances urbaines, tout en l'insérant dans une approche architecturale globale. Dans une première partie, cette thèse étudie les caractéristiques des espaces publics qui sont nécessaires pour promouvoir une conception architecturale et urbaine respectueuse de l'homme et de l'environnement. Dans une seconde partie, ce travail de thèse approfondit l'étude du confort des piétons dans les espaces publics, selon une approche innovante du confort à l'extérieur qui consiste à regrouper les points de vue physiologiques et psychologiques. Dans une troisième partie, cette thèse décrit les moyens existants et développe de nouveaux outils méthodologiques et techniques pour concevoir des ambiances urbaines de qualité du point de vue microclimatique et acoustique. Ces outils permettront aux différents acteurs du processus de conception et de réalisation des projets urbains d'identifier dans le tracé de leurs plans masses les zones susceptibles d'être critiques ou clémentes pour les piétons en fonction du microclimat et de l'acoustique. Signalons notamment le développement d'outils graphiques simplifiés pour déterminer les risques d'inconfort au vent autour des bâtiments, à partir de nombreuses simulations numériques CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics). Cette thèse de doctorat aidera donc concrètement les concepteurs et les décideurs de projets urbains à évaluer la qualité d'un espace public réel ou projeté et ainsi guidera leurs choix d'aménagement. Les stratégies de conception et les outils de calcul simplifiés développés dans cette thèse faciliteront la conception d'ambiances urbaines confortables pour les piétons. Les résultats de cette recherche soulèvent une interrogation sur le type de société que nous désirons promouvoir. Ils soulignent l'importance du rôle des espaces publics urbains pour améliorer l' habitabilité de nos villes et valorisent un développement de l'humanité qui soit éthique et pas seulement financier. Ils ont été rédigés dans le but de participer à une prise de conscience collective, ce qui ne peut se réaliser que par la sensibilisation du public, l'information donnée aux décideurs politiques et la formation des concepteurs de projets. C'est pourquoi une attention particulière a été portée sur l'aspect graphique de cette thèse et sur le choix de nombreuses illustrations afin qu'elle soit agréable à lire pour les différents acteurs concernés.
