Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Face aux limites de la démocratie représentative, quel est l’apport des mobilisations de citoyens ? Les procédures de participation institutionnalisées jouent-elles un rôle positif ? Après avoir posé le cadre normatif du débat sur la démocratie participative, cette thèse se penche sur le rôle de la participation de la société civile dans le domaine de l’aménagement urbain à New York. Une analyse historique des politiques locales d’aménagement introduit l’étude de trois projets élaborés dans années 2000 : la reconstruction du World Trade Center et deux projets de stades et de nouveaux quartiers, Hudson Yards et Atlantic Yards. La thèse démontre que les mobilisations d’habitants jouent un rôle crucial mais insuffisant pour compenser l’influence excessive des grands promoteurs. Elle conclut que les progrès de la démocratie participative ont été mesurés à New York depuis les années 1950 mais que le dynamisme de la société civile recèle un fort potentiel pour améliorer le système politique.

Book excerpt: La ville est partout, la ville est nulle part. La notion de ville est une nébuleuse dans laquelle on se perd avec plus ou moins de bonheur et il n'est plus certain que l'on puisse continuer à penser la ville contemporaine en termes propres à notre culture européenne des 19e et 20e siècles. Tel un tissu vivant, les espaces qui la composent sont modelés, transformés pour s'adapter aux nouvelles formes de mobilité et au processus de modification fonctionnelle d'une entité toujours croissante notamment densifiée mais toujours vibrante. La ville est aussi lieu d'échange à la fois constructif et destructeur, lieu de forte densité et de grande béance, lieu d'attirance et de répulsion. Et c'est paradoxalement dans l'interstice de ces dialectiques qu'elle peut trouver son avenir. Comment la pensée architecturale peut-elle y contribuer? En quoi l'architecture des villes peut-elle construire la ville et participer à planification urbaine ? En associant quatre thèmes théoriques fondamentaux - densité, perception, mobilité et public/privé - à l'étude de quatre villes phares - Paris, Milan, New York et Londres - avec des réflexions d'auteurs invités et des projets d'étudiants, cet ouvrage largement illustré prend, position pour la ville et offre des pistes pour aborder le projet de l'architecture urbaine.

Download or read book The European Landscape Convention written by Michael Jones and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-02-09 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important and insightful book provides, for the first time, a broad presentation of ongoing research into public participation in landscape conservation, management and planning, following the 2000 European Landscape Convention which came into force in 2004. The book examines both the theory of participation and what lessons can be learnt from specific European examples. It explores in what manner and to what extent the provisions for participation in the European Landscape Convention have been followed up and implemented. It also presents and compares different experiences of participation in selected countries from northern, southern, eastern and western Europe, and provides a critical examination of public participation in practice. However, while the book’s focus is necessarily on Europe, many of the conclusions drawn are of global relevance. The book provides a valuable reference for researchers and advanced students in landscape policies and management, as well as for professionals and others interested in land-use planning and environmental management.

Download or read book The International Handbook on Social Innovation written by Frank Moulaert and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÔThe challenges of poverty and social exclusion cannot be fully resolved through conventional public sector policies and market-led innovation. The case studies in this Handbook capture some of the key success factors of socially innovative action in different socio-economic contexts. This Handbook will inspire readers as it highlights the creativity and commitment of diverse enterprises and movements working for social innovation.Õ Ð Anna Kajumulo Tibaijuka, Minister for Lands, Housing and Human Settlements, United Republic of Tanzania, and retired UN Under Secretary General, immediate former Executive Director of UN-HABITAT ÔSocial innovation may not be a new idea but it is clearly an idea whose time has come, not least because the traditional models of innovation Ð narrowly framed technical models Ð have run their course and no longer resonate in a world of societal challenges. This Handbook has two great merits Ð it brings conceptual rigour to the debate and it provides compelling narratives of social innovation in practice.Õ Ð Kevin Morgan, Cardiff University, UK ÔIn an era where social innovation is re-emerging as an important policy framework for bringing social transformation, this volume is a significant contribution to the theory and practice of social innovation. The incremental discussion from concepts to theory to practice and then to social innovation research is supported by cases literally from all over the globe. It moves the discourse from isolated models of neighbourhood engagements and social enterprises, to a comprehensive, multidimensional approach combining needs, social relations and empowerment. A must read for academicians, learners, practitioners and policy makers alike.Õ Ð S. Parasuraman, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai, India ÔSocial innovation is an important instrument for understanding how contemporary societies deal with social change and how social practices and policies intended to combat poverty and social exclusion are developed and implemented effectively. The Handbook offers a valuable contribution to the development of a clear, transdisciplinary and critical understanding of social innovation practices. The reader will find an in-depth discussion of the most important theoretical approaches to the concept and a thorough exposition of the epistemological and methodological framework for research in social innovation. The volume includes a number of interesting case studies in different areas of social change and issues of policy and governance.Õ Ð Enzo Mingione, University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy This enriching Handbook covers many aspects of the scientific and socio-political debates on social innovation today. The contributors provide an overview of theoretical perspectives, methodologies and instructive experiences from all continents, as well as implications for collective action and policy. They argue strongly for social innovation as a key to human development. The Handbook defines social innovation as innovation in social relations within both micro and macro spheres, with the purpose of satisfying unmet or new human needs across different layers of society. It connects social innovation to empowerment dynamics, thus giving a political character to social movements and bottom-up governance initiatives. Together these should lay the foundations for a fairer, more democratic society for all. This interdisciplinary work, written by scholars collaborating to develop a joint methodological perspective toward social innovation agency and processes, will be invaluable for students and researchers in social science and humanities. It will also appeal to policy makers, policy analysts, lobbyists and activists seeking to give inspiration and leadership from a social innovation perspective.

Book excerpt: Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.
