The other is one of an extroverted globopolis of homogeneous spaces of consumption designed to protect those who are able to access them from the “chaos” of the city of the less wealthy and the poor. While democratization and the rise of civil society provide openings for more cosmopolitan outcomes, fragmentation of the city through mega-projects privatizing urban spaces on very large scales is steering the city toward a globopolis composed of zones of exclusion.  The future of cities will depend on how the balance is struck between these two visions of a livable city.</div>  </div> <b>Mike Douglass </b>is Professor and former Chair of the Department of Urban and Regional Planning and Executive Director of the Globalization Research Center at the University of Hawai'i.</div>  </div> Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Asia Asie cosmopolitisme Douglass Mike dynamiques urbaines espace urbain global city gouvernance mondialisation néolibéralisme participation privatisation urbanité ville globale Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The issue of food, food production and public spaces in cities is currently high on the political agenda. While urban agriculture has a long history, contemporary concerns over the environmental impacts of ‘food miles’ and our industrialised countryside, food security issues, together with growing recognition of the health, social and community benefits of gardening, are driving the issue of local urban food production up the political agenda. With waiting lists for allotments in Camden, for example, currently stretching to an estimated 40 years, and with the nation’s front gardens disappearing under tarmac car parking, attention is turning to the food growing potential of a multitude of overlooked and undervalued city sites.</div>  </div> <b>Sessions :</b></div>  </div> Rosie Parks - Introduction</div> Carolyn Steel - Citopia : Thinking through food</div> Paul Smyth - An urban farming experiment</div> Martin Caraher - Food and urban space</div> Ben Reynolds - Sustainable food matters</div>  </div>  </div> Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource agriculture urbaine alimentation aménagement de l'espace Caraher Martin espace urbain food global city jardin London Londres nourriture Parks Rosie Reynolds Ben Smyth Paul Steel Carolyn ville durable ville globale Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I discuss Brussels, Johannesburg, Belfast, Sarajevo, Jerusalem, Baghdad, and Kirkuk. These cities are broken down into three categories—(1) cities that have utilized power sharing and forms of transitional democratization effectively enough that stability of the local and national state has occurred, (2) cities that have made some progress but are vulnerable to regression because local political arrangements are not sufficiently stabilizing, and (3) cities where power sharing is itself contested and a potential contributor to further instability. The case studies of local governance of polarized cites reported point to their institutional diversity, frequent fragility, and the evolutionary nature of even the “best case” examples. A difficult predicament is faced by local government reform in cities of inter-group conflict. Shared local governance arrangements need to produce measurable differences on the ground in the short term sufficient to allow institutional legitimacy. Yet, necessary power-sharing limitations on local democracy may make local government less effective in producing these needed tangible changes.</div>  </div> <b>Scott Bollens </b>is the Warmington Chair in Peace and International Cooperation and a Professor in the Department of Planning, Policy and Design at the University of California, Irvine.</div>  </div> available to download</a> from the University of Pennsylvania (scroll down or search for the PDF link).</div>  </div> Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Bagdad Baghdad Belfast Bollens Scott Brussels Bruxelles collectivités locales conflit urbain gouvernance Jérusalem Johannesburg Kirkouk Kirkuk politique de la ville Sarajevo ségrégation urbaine Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Osborne Jay; and to the parallels and interactions between Gissing's fiction and Charles Booth's Labour and Life of the People and the associated 'Descriptive Map of London Poverty 1889'. Of special interest is Gissing's early novel, The Unclassed. In its first edition as a three-volume novel (1884), the slums that play a prominent role in The Unclassed were situated in Westminster, but by 1895, in revising – mainly abridging – the novel into a single volume, Gissing relocated the slums to the East End, reflecting shifts in both popular perceptions of the East End and 'real' ongoing changes in the geography of poverty in London in the 1890s that are also revealed by the 1898–99 revised edition of Booth's poverty maps.</div>  </div> <b>Richard Dennis </b>is a Professor in the Department of Geography at UCL.<br /> <br /> NB : This recording may be streamed via your web browser or opened in iTunes.</div>  </div> See also recordings of the other conference sessions:</div> Ideas of the metropolis</a></div> What is a city?

Viewing the mapping projects around Calcutta in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries through the lens of the uncanny offers us the possibility of such a reconciliation.

Urban historians will profit from giving its uses careful attention. Those uses reveal, in particular contexts, ideas and ambitions concerning the status, authority and identity of both cities and peoples. They are often vague, rhetorical or boosterish, but just as often their precision adds to our understanding of contemporary thought. Often the term relates to a concern with the past or the future, or to senses of transience or regret. Equally significant are those cases where important cities were not described as metropolises, although occasionally modern historians have come to believe mistakenly that they were. Phases in the use of the term can be identified, especially in the nineteenth and early twentieth century when London became an influential model. In recent decades social scientists and bureaucrats have abused the term, but in some contexts ‘metropolis’ still has cultural and political power.</div> <br /> NB : This recording may be streamed via your web browser or opened in iTunes.</div>  </div> See also recordings of the other conference sessions:</div> What is a city?

She argued that dense, mixed income mix-used neighbourhoods, designed around short city blocks with busy amenity-lined streets and small parks, had a huge range of benefits unappreciated by modern urban planners who mistakenly associated the old city with all the evils of the 19th century slum.

Beyond the obvious issues of infrastructure management, transportation, telecommunications, poverty, health care, migration, and education, custodians of the urban future face unprecedented challenges both from the sheer number of human beings in global urban centers and their complex needs. Furthermore, this new reality is set against a backdrop of expanding international terrorism, a neo-liberal consensus that has counseled against governments accepting responsibility for alleviating social problems, and technological changes that are restructuring everyday life.<br /> <br /> This talk will address a variety of pertinent policy-making considerations that confront the fluidity and complexity of urban life, from ideas of the “right to the city” and humane civitas to the interrelated pragmatism found in arguments regarding sprawl and urban social sustainability.</div>  </div> <b>Blair Ruble </b>is Director of the Kennan Institute and Chair of the Comparative Urban Studies Project at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, D.C.</div>  </div> Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource développement durable développement urbain droit à la ville étalement urbain gestion locale gouvernance politique urbaine Ruble Blair twenty-first century urbanité vingtième siècle Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Diverses, complexes, les mémoires des migrations se construisent et se reconstruisent selon les époques, les générations et les espaces. Les circulations de la mémoire interrogent d’abord l’articulation entre espaces public et privé. Mais elles posent aussi la question du jeu d’échelles entre territoires, du quartier aux espaces transnationaux, et les échanges qui s’opèrent de l’un à l’autre, jusqu’à dessiner un espace de la mobilité.<br /> <br /> C’est le quartier qui servira de fil conducteur à cette exploration des mémoires de migration, avec deux auteurs du numéro "Mémoires de quartiers, mémoires de migration", publié par la revue Diasporas. Histoire et société.<br /> <br /> Dans un premier temps, Muriel Cohen évoquera les bidonvilles de Nanterre, entre "trop plein" de mémoire et silences. Longtemps, ils ont incarné le mal-logement des immigrés, avant de s’imposer comme le lieu martyr de la manifestation du 17 octobre 1961. Mais aujourd’hui, dans la ville même, tandis que la mémoire de la guerre d'Algérie est mise en avant, celle des bidonvilles reste dans l’ombre.<br /> <br /> Dans un second temps, Hélène Bertheleu réfléchira sur la place des migrations dans le développement actuel des mémoires urbaines. Souvent, l’histoire des migrants s’efface devant la mémoire du quartier, laissant dans l’invisibilité la diversité des motifs de la migration et les appartenances transnationales. Les contextes locaux, les politiques publiques jouent ici un rôle décisif, une manière de rappeler que la construction des mémoires résulte aussi d’un rapport de force.</div>  </div> Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource 1h50 Bertheleu Hélène bidonville Cohen Muriel immigration mémoire politique publique
