This book was released on 2001 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: À la fin du XIXe siècle au moment où la Révolution industrielle fait des États-Unis un pays tourné vers le progrès industriel et technique, un nouvel acteur s'impose sur la scène urbaine : l'ingénieur des travaux publics. Grâce aux équipements qu'il réalise, les métropoles se transforment radicalement. La modernisation des réseaux d'eau et des égouts fait reculer les épidémies, la création d'espaces verts améliore le cadre de vie, tandis que la construction d'ouvrages d'art, comme le pont de Brooklyn à New York, facilite la circulation. L'aptitude à l'innovation des ingénieurs municipaux américains est telle qu'ils deviennent des références en matière de travaux publics, en Amérique, mais aussi en Europe. S'intéresser à leur œuvre permet donc de mieux comprendre comment les États-Unis devienne à la fin du XIXe siècle une puissance technique de premier plan. L'influence de ces ingénieurs ne se limite pas cependant aux seules questions techniques. En effet, en recrutant ces hommes, les métropoles américaines posent les bases d'un gouvernement par l'expertise qui sera largement plébiscité au XXe siècle. On est loin de l'image corrompue qui est généralement associée aux villes à celle époque. En analysant le rôle des ingénieurs municipaux, c'est en fait les réalités urbaines de la fin du XIXe siècle que nous cernons mieux.

Book excerpt: CETTE THESE CHERCHE A DETERMINER QU'ELLE EST LA CONTRIBUTION DES INGENIEURS MUNICIPAUX AU DEVELOPPEMENT DES VILLES AMERICAINES DE LA FIN DU XIXE SIECLE. CES HOMMES TRANSFORMENT L'ESPACE URBAIN ET LES CONDITIONS DE VIE DES CITADINS EN CONSTRUISANT DE NOMBREUX EQUIPEMENTS: DES RESEAUX D'ADDUCTION D'EAU ET D'ASSAINISSEMENT QUI AMELIORENT L'ETAT SANITAIRE DES METROPOLES, MAIS AUSSI DES PONTS ET DES ROUTES QUI FACILITENT LA CIRCULATION. LES INGENIEURS ACQUIERENT UNE POSITION IMPORTANTE AU SEIN D'ADMINISTRATIONS URBAINES QUI SE "PROFESSIONNALISENT". LA DIRECTION TECHNIQUE DES DEPARTEMENTS DES TRAVAUX PUBLICS LEUR EST CONFIEE DANS LES ANNEES 1870. DETENTEURS DE POSTES NON PARTISANS, ILS INFLUENT A LONG TERME SUR LA POLITIQUE DE CES SERVICES. ILS PARTICIPENT AU RECRUTEMENT DE LEURS PRINCIPAUX ASSISTANTS ET OBTIENNENT DES RESPONSABILITES FINANCIERES. LES SPECIALISTES DU GENIE CIVIL SONT AUSSI DES ACTEURS DE PREMIER PLAN DE LA POLITIQUE SANITAIRE URBAINE. EN OUTRE, ILS COLLABORENT A LA REALISATION DES PARCS ET DES PLANS D'URBANISME. CES EXPERTS SONT PEU APPRECIES DU PUBLIC MALGRE LEURS SUCCES. CECI EXPLIQUE QU'ILS RECHERCHENT LA RECONNAISSANCE DE LEURS PAIRS. LES INGENIEURS MUNICIPAUX SONT EN EFFET INTEGRES DANS DES RESEAUX DE RELATIONS PROFESSIONNELLES, ET NOTAMMENT DANS DES ASSOCIATIONS COMME L'AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CIVIL ENGINEERS. CES DERNIERES CONTRIBUENT A LA CONSTRUCTION D'UNE IDENTITE COMMUNE A TOUS LES INGENIEURS. ELLES FACILITENT AUSSI LES ECHANGES TECHNIQUES DE PART ET D'AUTRE DE L'ATLANTIQUE A UNE EPOQUE OU LE MONDE DU GENIE CIVIL COMMENCE A SE MONDIALISER. LES DEPARTEMENTS DES TRAVAUX PUBLICS DES METROPOLES AMERICAINES DEVIENNENT AINSI A LA FIN DU XIXE SIECLE DES MODELES D'UNE VALEUR INTERNATIONALEMENT RECONNUE.
Download or read book Shaping the Transnational Sphere written by Davide Rodogno and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second half of the nineteenth century a new kind of social and cultural actor came to the fore: the expert. During this period complex processes of modernization, industrialization, urbanization, and nation-building gained pace, particularly in Western Europe and North America. These processes created new forms of specialized expertise that grew in demand and became indispensible in fields like sanitation, incarceration, urban planning, and education. Often the expertise needed stemmed from problems at a local or regional level, but many transcended nation-state borders. Experts helped shape a new transnational sphere by creating communities that crossed borders and languages, sharing knowledge and resources through those new communities, and by participating in special events such as congresses and world fairs.
Download or read book Urban Modernity written by Miriam R. Levin and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2010-04-16 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How Paris, London, Chicago, Berlin, and Tokyo created modernity through science and technology by means of urban planning, international expositions, and museums. At the close of the nineteenth century, industrialization and urbanization marked the end of the traditional understanding of society as rooted in agriculture. Urban Modernity examines the construction of an urban-centered, industrial-based culture—an entirely new social reality based on science and technology. The authors show that this invention of modernity was brought about through the efforts of urban elites—businessmen, industrialists, and officials—to establish new science- and technology-related institutions. International expositions, museums, and other such institutions and projects helped stem the economic and social instability fueled by industrialization, projecting the past and the future as part of a steady continuum of scientific and technical progress. The authors examine the dynamic connecting urban planning, museums, educational institutions, and expositions in Paris, London, Chicago, Berlin, and Tokyo from 1870 to 1930. In Third Republic Paris, politicians, administrators, social scientists, architects, and engineers implemented the future city through a series of commissions, agencies, and organizations; in rapidly expanding London, cultures of science and technology were both rooted in and constitutive of urban culture; in Chicago after the Great Fire, Commercial Club members pursued civic ideals through scientific and technological change; in Berlin, industry, scientific institutes, and the popularization of science helped create a modern metropolis; and in Meiji-era Tokyo (Edo), modernization and Westernization went hand in hand.

Download or read book Africa from the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century written by Bethwell A. Ogot and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 1088 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The result of years of work by scholars from all over the world, The UNESCO General History of Africa reflects how the different peoples of Africa view their civilizations and shows the historical relationships between the various parts of the continent. Historical connections with other continents demonstrate Africa's contribution to the development of human civilization. Each volume is lavishly illustrated and contains a comprehensive bibliography. This fifth volume of the acclaimed series covers the history of the continent from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the close of the eighteenth century in which two themes emerge: first, the continuing internal evolution of the states and cultures of Africa during this period second, the increasing involvement of Africa in external trade--with major but unforeseen consequences for the whole world. In North Africa, we see the Ottomans conquer Egypt. South of the Sahara, some of the larger, older states collapse, and new power bases emerge. Traditional religions continue to coexist with both Christianity (suffering setbacks) and Islam (in the ascendancy). Along the coast, particularly of West Africa, Europeans establish a trading network which, with the development of New World plantation agriculture, becomes the focus of the international slave trade. The immediate consequences of this trade for Africa are explored, and it is argued that the long-term global consequences include the foundation of the present world-economy with all its built-in inequalities.
Download or read book Connecting Histories of Education written by Barnita Bagchi and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of education in the modern world is a history of transnational and cross-cultural influence. This collection explores those influences in (post) colonial and indigenous education across different geographical contexts. The authors emphasize how local actors constructed their own adaptation of colonialism, identity, and autonomy, creating a multi-centric and entangled history of modern education. In both formal as well as informal aspects, they demonstrate that transnational and cross-cultural exchanges in education have been characterized by appropriation, re-contextualization, and hybridization, thereby rejecting traditional notions of colonial education as an export of pre-existing metropolitan educational systems.
Download or read book Revisiting Moroccan Migrations written by Mohammed Berriane and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the 20th century, Morocco has become one of the world’s major emigration countries. But since 2000, growing immigration and settlement of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Europe confronts Morocco with an entirely new set of social, cultural, political and legal issues. This book explores how continued emigration and increasing immigration is transforming contemporary Moroccan society, with a particular emphasis on the way the Moroccan state is dealing with shifting migratory realities. The authors of this collective volume embark on a dialogue between theory and empirical research, showcasing how contemporary migration theories help understanding recent trends in Moroccan migration, and, vice-versa, how the specific Moroccan case enriches migration theory. This perspective helps to overcome the still predominant Western-centric research view that artificially divide the world into ‘receiving’ and ‘sending’ countries and largely disregards the dynamics of and experiences with migration in countries in the Global South. This book was previously published as a special issue of The Journal of North African Studies.
Download or read book Crying Out for Change written by Deepa Narayan-Parker and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2000 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multi-country research initiative to understand poverty from the eyes of the poor, the Voices of the Poor project was undertaken to inform the World Bank's activities and the upcoming World Development Report 2000/01. The research findings are being published in three books: "Can Anyone Hear Us?" gathers the voices of over 40,000 poor women and men in 50 countries from the World Bank's participatory poverty assessments (Deepa Narayan, Raj Patel, Kai Schafft, Anne Rademacher, and Sarah Koch-Schulte, authors). "Crying Out for Change" pulls together new field work conducted in 1999 in 23 countries (Deepa Narayan, Robert Chambers, Meera Shah, and Patti Petesch, authors). "From Many Lands" offers regional patterns and country case-studies (Deepa Narayan and Patti Petesch, editors). Voices of the Poor marks the first time such an exercise has been undertaken in so many developing countries and transition economies around the world. It provides a unique and detailed picture of the life of the poor and explains the constraints poor people face to escape from poverty in a way that more traditional survey techniques do not capture well. Each of the three volumes demonstrates the importance of voice and power in poor people's definition of poverty. Voices of the Poor concludes that we need to expand our conventional views of poverty which focus on income expenditure, education, and health to include measures of voice and empowerment.
