Le numéro 371 de mars-avril 2010 de la revue Urbanisme consacre un dossier à "Lyon : planifacation (1984) 2010". Extrait de l'éditorial du dossier, par Antoine Loubière : Dissipons d’emblée tout malentendu. Dans ce dossier, le “Lyon 2010” dont il est d’abord et surtout question n’est pas la ville, ni même la métropole, que tout un chacun peut traverser ou visiter en prenant le temps d’en admirer la beauté… Le “Lyon 2010” dont nous parlons est celui imaginé – rêvé dit même Pierre Gras –, discuté, puis dessiné tout au long d’une démarche commencée par un colloque en 1984 et qui se terminera en 1992 par l’approbation formelle du nouveau Schéma directeur de l’agglomération lyonnaise. Pourquoi revenir sur cette démarche maintenant que son terme temporel est atteint ? Au-delà du rapprochement évident des dates – “Lyon 2010”… en 2010 –, il s’agit, comme nous l’avions déjà fait pour la mission Banlieues 89, d’éclairer le cheminement parfois souterrain des idées, sur la manière dont se transmettent ou non des principes et les pratiques les mettant en œuvre. Un chercheur comme François Ascher ne s’y était pas trompé : dans ses derniers entretiens, il faisait encore référence au caractère novateur de la démarche “Lyon 2010” : un schéma directeur avec “une représentation floue”.

Où en est la rue face à la globalisation ?
rue, globalisation, mondialisation, commerce, cosmopolitisme, Dakar, Canton, Montréal, Abidjan, Berlin, Istanbul, Zeneidi Djamila
Présentation par l'éditeur : La rue globale existe-t-elle ? A l'heure où tout est qualifié de global, le numéro 71 de Géographie et cultures propose de croiser deux notions, la globalisation et la rue, et de confronter des échelles et des processus rarement mis en relation. Cette association n'est pas une coquetterie de chercheur qui succomberait aux sirènes de la mode ; l'articulation est motivée par l'observation d'un phénomène de convergence, de standardisation des paysages, des pratiques, des corporéités et ce au-delà des aires culturelles. En Europe, en Asie, en Amérique, en Afrique, la rue s'affranchit du cadre national et offre un autre visage, lequel ?

Un dossier de la revue Stradda coordonné par Emmanuelle Dreyfus. Présentation par l'éditeur : Ils sont plasticiens, vidéastes, graphistes, architectes, cinéastes, VJ’s, metteurs en scène... et ont en commun d’explorer la création hors les murs par le biais de l’image et par leurs créations hybrides convoquant le multimédia. Projection vidéo, web, performances, les formes qu’ils inventent sont multiples. Ils font du croisement entre espace public et nouvelles technologies un territoire de jeu inépuisable. Le fait urbain a toujours inspiré les artistes et, à l’ère du numérique, la ville apparaît plus que jamais 2.0 : créative, expérimentale, participative et festive. Stradda s’est intéressé à quelques-unes de ces formes qui repoussent sans cesse les limites technologiques et aiguisent notre vision de la ville.
La ville créative : concept marketing ou utopie mobilisatrice ?
ville créative, culture urbaine, politique culturelle, politique publique, utopie, friche culturelle, Pignot Lisa, Saez Jean-Pierre
Présentation par l'éditeur : L'Année européenne 2009 dédiée à la créativité et à l'innovation aura soulevé un paradoxe intéressant en juxtaposant, d'un côté, ce qui relève de la créativité et que nous assimilons immanquablement à l'art, et de l'autre, ce qui relève de l'innovation et que nous reléguons à la technologie et au régime d'hyper concurrence qui la sous-tend. Posée comme telle, l'équation est complexe mais l'alliance entre créativité et innovation attise aussi de nombreuses questions : l'artiste serait-il le dernier atout des entreprises et des territoires dans le jeu d'une compétitivité mondiale ? La créativité serait-elle le nouveau dogme du développement des territoires ?

, tourisme, urbanisme, politique urbaine, identité, métropole
Présentation par l'éditeur : Le tourisme est implicitement au coeur de nombreux projets de ville. Et ce n'est pas nouveau. De tout temps, en effet, les villes ont eu pour ambition de "séduire" l'étranger, qu'il soit marchand, pèlerin ou… touriste. Aujourd'hui, nombre de politiques urbaines visent à donner au visiteur des preuves du dynamisme de la ville, de sa qualité de vie. Le tourisme les aide alors à faire découvrir la ville sous un jour nouveau. Les quartiers "de loisirs" dans lesquels on a plaisir à déambuler, à se rencontrer, à vivre la ville... ont, eux aussi, toujours existé. Ce sont des lieux de mixité sociale tout au long de la journée... et de la nuit. Dans la relation à l’autre qu’il induit, le tourisme est le ferment du "vivre ensemble" qui est au coeur de nombreux projets de ville actuels. Longtemps accusé d'engorger les cœurs de ville, le tourisme part aujourd’hui à la conquête des "marges". Il invente de nouvelles centralités, crée de nouvelles itinérances. En cela, il est un moyen de favoriser la découverte de l’ensemble du territoire urbain, de participer à la construction d’une identité métropolitaine. Souvent ignoré, voire méprisé par les urbanistes, le tourisme est porteur de nouvelles façons de penser la ville, qu’il s’agisse de séduire, de favoriser les mixités sociales ou d’ouvrir la ville sur sa métropole. Et si, parce qu’il sait créer du lien dans la ville, le tourisme était l’avenir de l’urbanisme... Ce Cahier ESPACES s'articule en trois parties : • Le tourisme, un outil de séduction de la ville • Le tourisme, un temps de rencontre dans la ville • Le tourisme, une ouverture sur la métropole.

The papers presented in this collection all deal with suburbs, the most maligned aspects of metropolitan development. From the outset, the very term ‘sub-urban’ has connoted an inferior form of city in a way that other choices do not—‘exurban’, for instance, would have more explicitly captured the dynamics of development taking place outside traditional walled towns or beyond the original municipal boundary. This special issue... has its origins in a collaboration between the editors, who gave joint papers at a conference on urban images in 2003. We subsequently worked on a paper for the Suburban World conference organized in 2008 by the faculty of the Virginia Tech, where we enjoyed the papers presented by the authors featured here (the paper by our colleague Feyzan Erkip came via a more circuitous route, albeit at the same time). We see them as contributing directly to ‘the suburban question’ (itself a title that we have appropriated from Manuel Castells’ innovative The Urban Question (1977)). Our aim has been to present work that illuminates that question—what is happening in the suburbs, in terms of the built form, the economy and social relations?

From the editorial by Hilary Silver : As the first section journal of the ASA, City & Community intends to serve the broad community of urban sociologists. The mission of the journal has been updated in a manner that builds upon its already established record of excellence and extends it into new areas. City & Community aims to advance urban sociological theory, promote the highest quality empirical research on communities and urban social life, and encourage sociological perspectives on urban policy. It welcomes contributions that employ quantitative and qualitative methods as well as comparative and historical approaches. The journal encourages manuscripts exploring the interface of global and local issues, locally embedded social interaction and community life, urban culture and the meaning of place, and sociological approaches to urban political economy. The journal also seeks articles on urban spatial arrangements, social impacts of local natural and built environments, urban and rural inequalities, virtual communities, and other topics germane to urban life and communities that will advance general sociological theory. In light of the increasing disciplinary attention devoted to “public sociology,” City & Community aims to develop sociological perspectives on public affairs and government programs with implications for urban social life. To signal this, the first issue of Volume 9 contains a Symposium on President Barack Obama’s urban policy as well as three articles on public housing. Contents : Hilary Silver - Editorial Hilary Silver - Obama's urban policy : A symposium Michael B. Katz - Narratives of failure?

While the initial invitation to imagine, and indeed live in, ‘a city that felt like a living, breathing thing which belonged to everybody’ might seem a welcome one to most people, it might seem like a nightmare to others once they grasp the possibility that in such a city the walls could be wet with an abundance of graffiti and street art. What, it might be asked, would happen to the décor and decorum of such a city? Would not only the estate agents and big business barons but also their ideologues, the proponents of ‘zero tolerance’ and gentrification feel threatened? Such questions need to be addressed, Kurt Iveson notes in his Introduction to our feature on Graffiti, Street Art and the City, ‘as “the street” assumes renewed strategic significance for emerging social control efforts, for corporate branding strategies, and for radical politics.’ The city is already undergoing various and contending struggles for appropriation and re-appropriation, then, how are we to contribute to understanding and action in a way that, instead of uncritically and myopically describing the problem mainly in terms acceptable to those who principally benefit from it, seeks to contribute to a socially inclusive solution ?

Abstract from the publisher : Urban Policy and Research is an international journal dedicated to the publication of refereed articles in English in the field of urban studies and urban policy in Australia, New Zealand and the Asia Pacific region. The scope of the journal is international in two senses: it presents to a worldwide readership a view of the urban policies of particular countries, and it encourages dialogue among researchers, policy makers and practitioners in the region. Urban Policy and Research seeks to develop better links between theoretical and empirical research, and practice. It seeks to stimulate informed debate about urban issues by publishing material from a wide range of theoretical and research approaches. While there is an emphasis on Australian and New Zealand urban policy, Urban Policy and Research welcomes articles of relevance to our core readership to encourage an outward looking perspective among scholars and practitioners.

Urban Studies was first published in 1964 to provide an international forum of social and economic contributions to the fields of urban and regional planning. Since then, the Journal has expanded to encompass the increasing range of disciplines and approaches that have been brought to bear on urban and regional problems. Contents include original articles, notes and comments, and a comprehensive book review section. Regular contributions are drawn from the fields of economics, planning, political science, statistics, geography, sociology, population studies and public administration. The Journal also publishes the occasional ‘state of the art’ article, consisting of an analytical review of the major strands of contemporary thinking in a given topic area, supported by an extended bibliography of the topic. All articles are peer-reviewed. Urban Studies deals with every kind of urban and regional problem that is susceptible to social science or other relevant analysis. These range from such problems as urban housing, employment, race, politics and crime, to problems of regional investment and transport. Although most articles published deal with problems located in the advanced industrial societies of Europe and the Americas, important articles dealing with these problems in Asia, the Third World and in Eastern Europe are also published regularly.

Les petits ports. Usages, réseaux et sociétés littorales (XVe-XIXe siècle)
ville portuaire, réseaux, économie, sociétés littorales, Buti Gilbert, Le Bouëdec Gérard
Présentation par l'éditeur : L'historiographie a toujours privilégié les grands ports dans une perspective d'histoire vue d'en haut. Les travaux sur le cabotage et les sociétés littorales ont démontré le rôle essentiel des liaisons intermédiaires et le dynamisme de la poussière portuaire au service du tissu économique et social littoral. Les études à l'échelle locale permettent de corriger le regard porté sur ces petits ports dans le cadre d'études macro-économiques. Il ne s'agit pas de les isoler "l'emboîtement des échelles est évident et les études de cas sont indispensables" mais de les replacer au coeur de l'économie et de la société locales et de rappeler qu'ils constituent un enjeu de pouvoir. Si la référence aux petits ports et à la poussière portuaire est fréquente, il manque une approche plus conceptuelle alors qu'il s'agit d'observatoires des mutations des sociétés littorales et des économies maritimes considérées sur le temps long.
