Abstract

We are living in a time of deep divisions. Americans are sorting themselves along racial, religious, and cultural lines, leading to a level of polarization that the country hasn' t seen since the Civil War. Pundits and politicians are calling for us to come together and find common purpose. But how, exactly can this be done? In Palaces for the People, Eric Klinenberg suggests a way forward. He believes that the future of democratic societies rests not simply on shared values but on shared spaces: the libraries, childcare centers, churches, and parks where crucial connections are formed. Interweaving his own research with examples from around the globe, Klinenberg shows how "social infrastructure" is helping to solve some of our most pressing societal challenges. Richly reported and ultimately uplifting, Palaces for the People offers a blueprint for bridging our seemingly unbridgeable divides.

Abstract

Have you ever wondered how the water in your faucet gets there? Where your garbage goes? What the pipes under city streets do? How bananas from Ecuador get to your local market? Why radiators in apartment buildings clang? Using New York City as its point of reference, The Works takes readers down manholes and behind the scenes to explain exactly how an urban infrastructure operates. Deftly weaving text and graphics, author Kate Ascher explores the systems that manage water, traffic, sewage and garbage, subways, electricity, mail, and much more. Full of fascinating facts and anecdotes, The Works gives readers a unique glimpse at what lies behind and beneath urban life in the twenty-first century. --Publisher. An account of the interconnected technology, transportation, and utility systems supporting New York City pairs detailed graphic images with explanations of behind-the-scenes mechanisms and processes for key structures and everyday arenas.

Abstract

Nos paysages revêtus de goudron et d’asphalte, sillonnés de routes, d’artères et de périphériques, forceraient la pensée à n’envi­sager, de la « voie », que les aspects technique et fonctionnel. C’est pourtant une autre de ses dimensions, plus inattendue, que révèle cet ouvrage. Élevée au statut d’objet d’architecture, indissociable d’une quête du Beau, la voie n’y est plus l’affaire des seuls ingénieurs. Monumentale, sublime ou pittoresque, dédiée à la flânerie piétonne, aux cavalcades ou au trafic automobile, elle est aussi celle de l’architecte, du paysagiste et de l’urbaniste. À la lumière des trois paradigmes de l’édifié, du jardin et du flux, cette traversée du temps long, de l’Antiquité romaine jusqu’aux dispositifs les plus actuels, revient sur l’évidence des tracés — chemin, parkway, Autobahn, rail… — et en restitue l’épaisseur historique et théorique. Tout en exhumant une tradition qui unissait les savoirs et les métiers liés à l’aménagement, ce volume démontre combien la voie est un élément permanent et constitutif du paysage, capable, à ce titre, de s’adapter aux reliefs, virages et perspectives de l’Histoire.

Abstract

The introduction of a welfare state economy after 1945 profoundly changed the Belgian territory. Government support for private home ownership resulted in widespread suburban sprawl. This book investigates the new infrastructural and business backbone that supported this suburban realm. At first sight the history of the construction of the highway network, the establishment of a fabric of consumer goods industries and the transformation of Brussels’ periphery into a metropolitan region reads as an account of economic policy and investment decisions. However, upon closer scrutiny, various urban models and architectural paradigms are seen to have left their mark on these endeavors. The satellite town, the neighborhood unit, Le Corbusier’s ‘usine verte’, the British industrial park and American corporate architecture are references in the various operations documented in the book. Most strikingly, the linear industrial city serves as a guiding image in the construction of an interrelated network of industrial corridors. This book highlights a crucial episode of post-war urbanization and planning, and puts the Belgian case in an international perspective. It unravels a hidden logic in the seemingly chaotic nebula of construction that transformed the country since the Second World War.
