It was the first permanent French trading post. It provided New France with a political, military, and commercial capital for 150 years. And it became a focal point of war leading to the Conquest. Its stones, archives, and heritage still evoke the French colonial experience in the north and centre of North America. As a political, military, and commercial capital of Britain’s colony on the St. Lawrence for a century, it remained a key site for asserting colonial power, welcoming British immigrants to Canada, and exporting Canada’s natural resources to Great Britain.<br /> <br /> Despite its economic woes during the second half of the 19th century, Quebec City has grown with the national and cultural affirmation of the Quebec government and Quebec society, especially since the 1960s. It has again become essentially French in its population, immigration, cultural life, and institutions—a testimonial to the survival of a society transplanted to North America 400 years ago.</div>  </div> <b>Marc Vallières </b>is a historian and a former Professor at the Université de Sherbrooke and Université Laval.</div>  </div> Type The nature or genre of the resource Ouvrage histoire urbaine Québec Quebec City Vallières Marc https://www.crevilles.org/files/original/957b302a5d019c6770ac1e9f41f569f8.jpg 9aa32857c4b3fbff74170a9320cc8d1f Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

Her ideas contributed to the wholesale reevaluation of the tenets of contemporary planning: urban renewal, public housing, highways, and zoning. It is hard to imagine the renewed appreciation of neighborhood life, the rejection of urban renewal and public housing complexes, and the rise of the new urbanist movement without Jane Jacobs. It may be hard to imagine gated communities, gentrification, and the Disneyfication of urban centers without her as well.<br /> <br /> This volume begins with the premise that the deepest respect is shown through honest critique. One of the greatest problems in understanding the influence of Jane Jacobs on cities and planning is that she has for much of the past five decades been "Saint Jane," the "housewife" who upended urban renewal and gave us back our cities. Over time, she has become a saintly stick figure, a font of simple wisdom for urban health that allows many to recite her ideas and few to understand their complexity. She has been the victim of her own success.<br /> <br /> Reconsidering Jane Jacobs gives this important thinker the respect she deserves, reminding planning professionals of the full range and complexity of her ideas and offering thoughtful critiques on the unintended consequences of her ideas on cities and planning today. It also looks at the international relevance — or lack thereof — of her work, with essays on urbanism in Abu Dhabi, Argentina, China, the Netherlands, and elsewhere.</div>  </div> <b>Contents : </b></div>  </div> Max Page - Introduction : More than meets the eye</div> Peter L.

Against this background, the book traces the collapse of the modernist, comprehensive state-planning schemes on both sides of the Iron Curtain as global corporations emerged, concentrating on networks and enclaves. It describes how Latin America and then Asia began a rapid urbanisation process, shifting the global urban centre away from Europe and overturning existing urban design models. This resulted in global megacities of an unprecedented scale, often with large associated shantytowns.<br /> By outlining the dominant models in urban design over the last sixty years - the metropolis, the megalopolis, the fragmented metropolis and the global megacity - the book provides an essential framework for students of the subject.<br /> <br /> Featured case studies include:<br /> • the rebuilding of metropolitan capitals in Europe and Asia, such as Berlin, London, Moscow, Tokyo and Beijing<br /> • the construction of new towns like Nowa Huta, Poland; Harlow, UK; Chandigarh, India; Brasilia, Brazil; Milton Keynes New Town, UK; and Shenzhen, China<br /> • the megalopolis as a global phenomenon from the American East Coast, Texas, California, Arizona and Florida, with examples from Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America, such as Caracas, Venezuela<br /> • the fragmented metropolis as a global phenomenon, with American, Asian and European examples, such as Downtown and Midtown (New York), Shinjuku (Tokyo), Canary Wharf (London), La Défense (Paris) and Potsdamer Platz (Berlin)<br /> • megacities as a global phenomenon, such as Jakarta in Indonesia or Bangkok in Thailand, that include urban agriculture and urban villages, as do shrinking eco-city regions such as Duisburg, Germany or Detroit, USA<br /> • World's Fairs such as Brussels 1958 and Osaka 1970 which feature as drivers of innovation, as do Olympic events in Tokyo (1964), Barcelona (1992), Beijing (2008) and London (2012).</div>  </div> <b>David Grahame Shane </b>teaches Graduate Urban Design at Columbia University and undergraduate students at Cooper Union in New York.

Others, like former colonial backwater Hong Kong, defy the odds by growing into major trading centres. What are the key factors distinguishing those cities that become wealthy from those that don't? Christopher Kennedy illuminates how geography, technology, and especially the infrastructure of urban economies allow cities to develop and thrive.<br /> <br /> The Evolution of Great World Cities unfolds through the tales of several urban centres‐including Venice, Amsterdam, London, and New York City—at key junctures in their histories. Kennedy weaves together significant insights from urbanists such as Jane Jacobs and economists such as John Maynard Keynes, drawing striking parallels between the functioning of ecosystems and of wealthy capitals. The Evolution of Great World Cities offers an accessible introduction to urban economies that 'will change the way you think about cities.'</div>  </div> <b>Christophr Kennedy </b>is a Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Toronto.</div>  </div> Type The nature or genre of the resource Ouvrage Amsterdam croissance urbaine économie géographie geography histoire urbaine infrastructures Kennedy Christopher London Londres New York technologie technology Venice Venise ville mondiale world city https://www.crevilles.org/files/original/bf7b9d5199714cd8a022c3d7ad881f38.jpg 757a0f867e20d585d4d0e5bf706fc8b7 Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

Barcelona is an emblematic example of how a European and Mediterranean city can be radically transformed. Starting from the 1980s, through investment in contemporary architecture, tourism, and advanced services, the city abandoned its traditional identity as an industrial center. After 1992, following the Olympics and the international success the city enjoyed as a result, Barcelona became a "model" city, renowned for its architecture, urban projects, attention to urban morphology, and context. Through extensive "in the field" investigation, giving voice to key figures in culture, architecture, and politics, and a vast array of images, the author gives a critical account of the various "stages" in Barcelona’s recent history, putting them into historical context and drawing parallels with local and international currents.</div>  </div> <b>Chiara Ingrosso</b> is an architect and researcher in the history of architecture at the Second University of Naples.</div>  </div> Type The nature or genre of the resource Ouvrage architecture Barcelona Barcelone histoire urbaine Ingrosso Chiara morphologie urbaine projet urbain renouvellement urbain société urbaine tourisme https://www.crevilles.org/files/original/c4dd1568195f5675a797058c850e21a7.jpg f099109a2b7a9ebcaa3070d46ce2ea54 Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.
