Book excerpt: En ce début de IIe millénaire, de Rio au Caire, de Calcutta à Abidjan, un nouveau spectre hante la planète: l'involution urbaine. Désormais un milliard d'êtres humains survit dans ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler des bidonvilles. Mike Davis décrit avec sagacité cette situation. Il met en accusation le néolibéralisme et son corollaire, le désengagement de l'Etat, responsable de l'accélération de la barbarie planétaire. Bruno Bachmann, pour sa part, revient sur les limites de cette approche et sur quelques questions politiques masquées par le caractère, parfois, trop empreint de sociologisme au détriment du mouvement de l'histoire. A ceux qui estiment qu'un changement radical de société est non seulement possible mais urgent, cette planète bidonvilles pose de graves interrogations: comment une humanité désintégrée, excédentaire marginalisée peut-elle jouer le rôle historique dévolu naguère à ce que l'on appelait la classe ouvrière? Les bidonvilles sont-ils lourds de coups de grisou à venir ou bien annonciateurs de scénarios à la Mad Max? Un retour à la vieille alternative chère à Rosa Luxemburg: socialisme ou barbarie?
Download or read book Bidonplan te written by Diana Bernaola-Regout and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En 2007, les Nations unies ont annoncé que la moitié des 6,6 milliards d'êtres humains de la planète vivaient désormais dans des villes et, dans le même temps, que sur ces 3,3 milliards d'" urbains ", 1 milliard, soit presque un tiers, vivaient dans des bidonvilles. L'ONU prévoit qu'ils seront le double en 2030. Cet ouvrage s'attaque à l'un des enjeux cruciaux du monde actuel. Il s'ouvre par deux témoignages. Un habitant d'un bidonville péruvien témoigne de son quotidien et de ses attentes déçues. Une Indienne montre que la capacité d'auto-organisation des femmes dans les slums leur permet d'améliorer leur sort. Puis, le dossier documentaire présente le problème dans ses relations avec la démographie, l'éducation, la santé, l'écologie et le travail. Enfin, deux interviews élargissent encore une réflexion qui ne se limite pas à une vision humanitaire. Bidonplanète nous interroge aussi sur les questions fondamentales que soulèvent l'afflux massif de pauvres dans les villes et l'inégalité de la répartition des richesses.

Book excerpt: Ensemble de constructions hâtivement bâties avec des matériaux de fortune sur un terrain squatté non viabilisé, destiné à une population pauvre exclue de tout, le bidonville est l'une des modalités de l'urbanisation planétaire, née à la fin du XIXe siècle et qui abritera près de 2 milliards d'habitants en 2030. Le phénomène s'est considérablement amplifié avec l'exode rural et l'extension des mégalopoles en ouvrant l'éventail des situations : certains bidonvilles centenaires se sont branchés sur les réseaux d'eau et d'électricité, des bicoques sont dorénavant en " dur " et disposent d'un jardinet, d'autres encore représentent le degré zéro de l'habitabilité avec quelques planches maladroitement clouées entre elles et surmontées d'un bout de tôle. Cet ouvrage retrace la géohistoire des bidonvilles, présente les principales théories socio-anthropologiques qui en expliquent la genèse et la pérennité, s'attarde sur leurs représentations tant romanesques que cinématographiques et évalue ce que ces " villes " incomplètes et inconfortables apportent à l'architecture de survie et à l'urbanisation sans urbanisme.

Download or read book Learning from the Slums for the Development of Emerging Cities written by Jean-Claude Bolay and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-29 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with slums as a specific question and a central focus in urban planning. It radically reverses the official version of the history of world cities as narrated during decades: slums are not at the margin of the contemporary process of urbanization; they are an integral part of it. Taking slums as its central focus and regarding them as symptomatic of the ongoing transformations of the city, the book moves to the very heart of the problem in urban planning. The book presents 16 case studies that form the basis for a theory of the slum and a concrete development manual for the slum. The interdisciplinary approach to analysing slums presented in this volume enables researchers to look at social and economic dimensions as well as at the constructive and spatial aspects of slums. Both at the scientific and the pedagogical level, it allows one to recognize the efforts of the slum’s residents, key players in the past, and present development of their neighborhoods, and to challenge public and private stakeholders on priorities decided in urban planning, and their mismatches when compared to the findings of experts and the demands of users. Whether one is a planner, an architect, a developer or simply an inhabitant of an emerging city, the presence of slums in one’s environment – at the same time central and nonetheless incongruous – makes a person ask questions. Today, it is out of the question to be satisfied with the assumption of the marginality of slums, or of the incongruous nature of their existence. Slums are now fully part of the urban landscape, contributing to the identity and the urbanism of cities and their stakeholders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Pour mortels et dangereux qu'ils soient, les bidonvilles ont devant eux un avenir resplendissant. " Des taudis de Lima aux collines d'ordures de Manille, des bidonvilles marécageux de Lagos à la Vieille Ville de Pékin, on assiste à l'extension exponentielle des mégalopoles du tiers monde, produits d'un exode rural mal maîtrisé. Le big bang de la pauvreté des années 1970 et 1980 dopé par les thérapies de choc imposées par le FMI et la Banque mondiale a ainsi transformé les bidonvilles traditionnels en " mégabidonvilles " tentaculaires, où domine le travail informel, " musée vivant de l'exploitation humaine ". Un milliard de personnes survivent dans les bidonvilles du monde, lieux de reproduction de la misère, à laquelle les gouvernements n'apportent aucune réponse adaptée. Désormais, les habitants mettent en péril leur vie dans des zones dangereuses, instables ou polluées. Parallèlement, la machine impitoyable de la rénovation urbaine condamne des millions d'habitants pauvres au désespoir des sombres espaces périurbains. Bien loin des villes de lumière imaginées par les urbanistes, le monde urbain du XXIe siècle ressemblera de plus en plus à celui du XIXe, avec ses quartiers sordides dépeints par Dickens, Zola ou Gorki. Le pire des mondes possibles explore cette réalité urbaine méconnue et explosive, laissant entrevoir, à l'échelle planétaire, un avenir cauchemardesque.
Download or read book The Rise of the Paris Red Belt written by Tyler Stovall and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-06-21 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1920 until the present, the working-class suburbs of Paris, known as the Red Belt, have constituted the heart of French Communism, providing the Party not only with its most solid electoral base but with much of its cultural identity as well. Focusing on the northeastern suburb of Bobigny, Tyler Stovall explores the nature of working-class life and politicization as he skillfully documents how this unique region and political culture came into being. The Rise of the Paris Red Belt reveals that the very process of urban development in metropolitan Paris and the suburbs provided the most important opportunities for the local establishment of Communist influence. The rapid increase in Paris' suburban population during the early twentieth century outstripped the development of the local urban infrastructure. Consequently, many of these suburbs, often represented to their new residents as charming country villages, soon degenerated into suburban slums. Stovall argues that Communists forged a powerful political block by mobilizing the disillusionment and by improving some of the worst aspects of suburban life. As a social history of twentieth-century France, The Rise of the Paris Red Belt calls into question traditional assumptions about the history of both French Communism and the French working-class. It suggests that those interested in working-class politics should consider the significance of residential and consumer issues as well as those relating to the workplace. It also suggests that urban history and urban development should not be considered autonomous phenomena, but rather expressions of class relations. The Rise of the Paris Red Belt brings to life a world whose citizens, though often overlooked, are nonetheless the history of modern France.

Download or read book Cities and Economic Development written by Paul Bairoch and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When and how were cities born? Does urbanization foster innovation and economic development? What was the level of urbanization in traditional societies? Did the Industrial Revolution facilitate urbanization? Has the growth of cities in the Third World been a handicap or an asset to economic development? In this revised translation of De Jéricho à Mexico, Paul Bairoch seeks the answers to these questions and provides a comprehensive study of the evolution of the city and its relation to economic life. Bairoch examines the development of cities from the dawn of urbanization (Jericho) to the explosive growth of the contemporary Third World city. In particular, he defines the roles of agriculture and industrialization in the rise of cities. "A hefty history, from the Neolithic onward. It's ambitious in scope and rich in subject, detailing urbanization and, of course, the links between cities and economies. Scholarly, accessible, and significant."—Newsday "This book offers a path-breaking synthesis of the vast literature on the history of urbanization."—John C. Brown, Journal of Economic Literature "One leaves this volume with the feeling of positions intelligently argued and related to the existing state of theory and knowledge. One also has the pleasure of reading a book unusually well-written. It will long both be a standard and stimulate new thought on the central issue of urban and economic growth."—Thomas A.

Download or read book Contemporary Studies in Social Economic Financial Analysis written by Julia Dobreva and published by Ijopec Publication. This book was released on with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chapters included in this volume are composed of some selected contributions from the 8th International Conference of Political Economy (ICOPEC 2017) held in Belgrade on June 28-30, 2017 with the main theme of “Institutions, National Identity, Power, and Governance in the 21st Century”. All chapters are peer-reviewed by both the editors and independent scholars from the elds relevant to the manuscript's subject area. The purpose of the volume is to provide and enhance our understanding of the recent trends in the social, economic and nancial analysis. Therefore, this volume includes chapters that focus on the importance of these three disciplines of social sciences which interact heavily with almost every other social science as well as the normative sciences. In this sense, this volume aims at providing a contemporary update to the literature from various di erent perspectives and tries to contribute to our knowledge in an e ective manner. The chapters do not only present analysis of certain topics but also help to build the mindset for further studies that would be helpful in looking for answers to some of the remaining questions in these three crucial social sciences disciplines. Hence, we are glad to put together a volume that would be useful to a large audience rather than just the technical experts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines transborder Latin American sociocultural and spatial conditions across the globe and at different scales, from gendered and racialized individuals to national and transnational organizations. Gathering scholars from the "spatial sciences"—architecture, urban design, urban planning, and geography—as well as sociology, anthropology, history, and economics, the volume explores these transbordering practices of place making and community building across cultural and nation-state borders, examining different agents (individuals, ethnic and cultural groups, NGOs, government agencies) that are engaged in transnational/transborder living and city-making practices, reconceiving notions of state, identity, and citizenship and showing how subjected populations resist, adapt, or coproduce transnational/transborder projects and, in the process, help shape and are shaped as transborder subjects.
Download or read book Popular Housing and Urban Land Tenure in the Middle East written by Myriam Ababsa and published by American University in Cairo Press. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irregular or illegal housing constitutes the ordinary condition of popular urban housing in the Middle East. Considering the conditions of daily practices related to land and tenure mobilization and of housing, neighborhood shaping, transactions, and conflict resolution, this book offers a new reading of government action in the cities of Amman, Beirut, Damascus, Istanbul, and Cairo, focussing on the participation of ordinary citizens and their interactions with state apparatus specifically located within the urban space. The book adopts a praxeological approach to law that describes how inhabitants define and exercise their legality in practice and daily routines. The ambition of the volume is to restore the continuum in the consolidation, building after building, of the popular neighborhoods of the cities under study, while demonstrating the closely-knit social relationships and other forms of community bonding.

This book was released on 2017-10-19T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La dynamique planétaire d'urbanisation passe par l'extension des bidonvilles dans les pays en développement. C'est un huitième de l'humanité qui vit aujourd'hui dans ces espaces. Parallèlement, le retour des bidonvilles et des campements illégaux en France suscite inquiétude, voire alarmisme, sur fond de " crise des migrants ". Pour certains, les bidonvilles doivent être éradiqués comme des foyers d'insalubrité et de criminalité. Pour d'autres, ils constituent un laboratoire de la ville durable, à la fois piétonne, écologique, participative et recyclable. Et si les bidonvilles, au lieu de renvoyer uniquement à un passé effrayant, inventaient aussi des solutions pour l'avenir ? Julien Damon est professeur associé à Sciences Po et conseiller scientifique de l'École nationale supérieure de sécurité sociale (En3s). Il a été chef du service " Questions sociales " au Centre d'analyse stratégique et directeur des études à la Caisse nationale des allocations familiales.
