Book Description
La ville est notre quotidien : près de 80 % des habitants en France résident actuellement en ville. La ville peut être définie à la fois comme territoire et population, cadre matériel et unité de vie collective. Pour comprendre la genèse, l'évolution et les grandes problématiques contemporaines de la sociologie urbaine (gouvernance, développement durable, ségrégation, mondialisation...), ce manuel a l'originalité d'offrir de nombreux encadrés présentant les notions, définitions et concepts centraux, les controverses, enfin les données chiffrées sur l'urbanisation mondiale.

Book Description
La ville en tant qu’établissement humain s’est largement imposée dans nos manières de penser, de sentir, d’agir, de bouger, de communiquer, d’aimer, de consommer... Il n’est donc pas étonnant de voir les grands auteurs de la sociologie intégrer la ville dans leurs réflexions. Qu’il s’agisse de Karl Marx, Émile Durkheim ou encore Max Weber, tous ces pionniers de la sociologie ont vu dans la grande ville le lieu même de la modernité, et leurs travaux ont permis le développement de la sociologie urbaine. Si dans cet ouvrage les grandes figures (Henri Lefebvre, Raymond Ledrut, Henri Raymond...) sont étudiées, cela ne veut pas dire pour autant que seuls les sociologues urbains sont mobilisés. Géographes, politistes, philosophes, architectes étayent ponctuellement le propos au point que les limites de la sociologie urbaine deviennent parfois si poreuses qu’il semble préférable de parler plus largement d’études urbaines (urban studies). Ce manuel entend déborder le champ de la sociologie urbaine en étudiant nombre de problématiques liées au monde urbain actuel (fragmentation territoriale, gouvernance, patrimonialisation, aménagement...).

Book Description
Henri Lefebvre has been celebrated as one of the most influential social theorists of the twentieth century. Understanding Henri Lefebvre places Lefebvre in his historical and intellectual context and analyzes the extraordinary range of his work, across politics, philosophy, history, literature and culture. Particular emphasis is given to Lefebvre's trilogy of inspirational thinkers—Hegel, Marx and Nietzsche; his links to contemporaries such as Heidegger, Axelos and the Situationalists; and his critiques of existentialism and structuralism. Analysis of his writings on cities are balanced with those on rural communities, the production of space connected to ideas of time and history, and everyday life linked to the festival and cultural revolution. Understanding Henri Lefebvre offers the most wide-ranging and reliable account of this central theorist available.

Book Description
Structures and Architecture. A Viable Urban Perspective? contains extended abstracts of the research papers and prototype submissions presented at the Fifth International Conference on Structures and Architecture (ICSA2022, Aalborg, Denmark, 6-8 July 2022). The book (578 pages) also includes a USB with the full texts of the papers (1448 pages). The contributions on creative and scientific aspects in the conception and construction of structures as architecture, and on the role of advanced digital-, industrial- and craft -based technologies in this matter represent a critical blend of scientific, technical, and practical novelties in both fields. Hence, as part of the proceedings series Structures and Architecture, the volume adds to a continuous exploration and development of the synergetic potentials of the fields of Structures and Architecture. With each volume further challenging the conditions, problems, and potentials related to the art, practice, and theory of teaching, researching, designing, and building structures as vehicles towards a viable architecture of the urban environment. The volumes of the series appear once every three years, in tandem with the conferences organized by the International Association of Structures and Architecture and are intended for a global readership of researchers, practitioners, and students, including architects, structural and construction engineers, builders and building consultants, constructors, material suppliers, planners, urban designers, anthropologists, economists, sociologists, artists, product manufacturers, and other professionals involved in the design and realization of architectural, structural, and infrastructural projects.

Book Description
Philosopher, sociologist and urban theorist, Henri Lefebvre (1901–1991) was one of the great social theorists of the twentieth century and pioneered the theorization of everyday life and space. In this fascinating book, which became a manifesto for urban activism upon its first publication in the 1960s, Lefebvre poses a major question: what gives a society undergoing constant change the illusion of stability? For Lefebvre, the answer is that our everyday lives are the product of decisions from which we are alienated, resulting in what he memorably describes as 'terror-enforced passivity'. Modern capitalism produces and controls the space around us: the buildings we work in, the roads we drive on and even the parks surrounding us are artificial and controlled, isolating the individual in a life of repetition. Lefebvre rejects such a world of control and monotony, urging instead a spontaneous, utopian creativity, in which human beings can engage in meaningful work and leisure. Profound and prophetic for its insights into the impact of capitalism and urbanization, Everyday Life in the Modern World remains a classic work by a towering thinker and essential reading today. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by Claire Revol and Rob Shields.

Book Description
With an increasing interest in quality of nutrition and health, urban food production has begun to occur inside the growing cities worldwide and risks to compete with other urban needs. The book introduces typologies, tools, evaluation methods and strategies, and shows the practical applications of the methods. Multiple projects illustrate solutions that augment quality via the insertion of food production entities into the urban realm.
