Book Description
The Heroic City is a sparkling account of the fate of Paris’s public spaces in the years following Nazi occupation and joyful liberation. Countering the traditional narrative that Paris’s public landscape became sterile and dehumanized in the 1940s and ’50s, Rosemary Wakeman instead finds that the city’s streets overflowed with ritual, drama, and spectacle. With frequent strikes and protests, young people and students on parade, North Africans arriving in the capital of the French empire, and radio and television shows broadcast live from the streets, Paris continued to be vital terrain. Wakeman analyzes the public life of the city from a variety of perspectives. A reemergence of traditional customs led to the return of festivals, street dances, and fun fairs, while violent protests and political marches, the housing crisis, and the struggle over decolonization signaled the political realities of postwar France. The work of urban planners and architects, the output of filmmakers and intellectuals, and the day-to-day experiences of residents from all walks of life come together in this vibrant portrait of a flamboyant and transformative moment in the life of the City of Light.

Book Description
Le Grand Paris concentre un tiers des projets de l'ANRU engagés depuis 2003. Soucieux de rapprocher les territoires de la rénovation urbaine aux dynamiques métropolitaines, le Comité d'évaluation et de suivi de l'ANRU a souhaité analyser les articulations existantes et les convergences possibles entre les projets du Grand Paris et le programme de rénovation urbaine. A partir d'une analyse rétrospective des démarches Grand Paris et des politiques de rénovation urbaine en Ile-de-France, Nicolas Ledoux, Laure Cardinal et Julia Watson (Algoé consultants) dressent un premier bilan de la place des grands ensembles dans les intentions, les négociations et les actes fondateurs du Grand Paris. Aujourd'hui, la reconfiguration du réseau Grand Paris Express, la création de la Métropole Paris-Ile-de-France, la généralisation des contrats de développement territorial et la perspective d'un "ANRU2" font de 2013 une année charnière pour la métropole francilienne et l'ancrage métropolitain des quartiers ANRU. Ce rapport formule des propositions pour remettre la rénovation urbaine au cœur du Grand Paris.

Book Description
Winner of the 2015 Abbott Lowell Cummings prize from the Vernacular Architecture Forum Winner of the 2015 Sprio Kostof Book Award from the Society of Architectural Historians Winner of the 2016 International Planning History Society Book Prize for European Planning History Honorable Mention: 2016 Wylie Prize in French Studies In the three decades following World War II, the French government engaged in one of the twentieth century’s greatest social and architectural experiments: transforming a mostly rural country into a modernized urban nation. Through the state-sanctioned construction of mass housing and development of towns on the outskirts of existing cities, a new world materialized where sixty years ago little more than cabbage and cottages existed. Known as the banlieue, the suburban landscapes that make up much of contemporary France are near-opposites of the historic cities they surround. Although these postwar environments of towers, slabs, and megastructures are often seen as a single utopian blueprint gone awry, Kenny Cupers demonstrates that their construction was instead driven by the intense aspirations and anxieties of a broad range of people. Narrating the complex interactions between architects, planners, policy makers, inhabitants, and social scientists, he shows how postwar dwelling was caught between the purview of the welfare state and the rise of mass consumerism. The Social Project unearths three decades of architectural and social experiments centered on the dwelling environment as it became an object of modernization, an everyday site of citizen participation, and a domain of social scientific expertise. Beyond state intervention, it was this new regime of knowledge production that made postwar modernism mainstream. The first comprehensive history of these wide-ranging urban projects, this book reveals how housing in postwar France shaped both contemporary urbanity and modern architecture.
