This publication considers urbanism as a fundamental preventive discipline, one which has the capacity to enhance the health and living quality of urban populations. It investigates the relationships between urbanism, urban health, and the built environment, with a specific focus on physical activity as one of the principal contributors to health conditions in the city. From an urban design and planning perspective, author Elena Dorato tackles the complex relationships and cause-and-effect processes that link the characteristics of cities to the well-being of their populations. A particular focus of her essay is on the dichotomy between the urban and human bodies.

Under the direction of Mexican architect Tatiana Bilbao, thirteen architecture studios and students across the United States and Mexico undertook the monumental task of attempting to capture the complex and dynamic region of the US/Mexican border. 'Two Sides of the Border' envisions the borderland through five themes: migration, housing and cities, creative industries, local production, tourism, and territorial economies. Building on a long shared history in the region, the projects covered in this volume use design and architecture to address social, political, and ecological concerns along the shared border. Featuring essays, student projects, interviews, special research, and a large photo project by Iwan Baan, 'Two Sides of the Border' highlights the distinct qualities of this place. Altogether the book uses the tools of architecture, research, and photography to articulate an alternate reality within a contested region.

Warfare in the twenty-first century goes well beyond conventional armies and nation-states. In a world of diffuse conflicts taking place across sprawling cities, war has become fragmented and uneven to match its settings. Yet the analysis of failed states, civil war, and state building rarely considers the city, rather than the country, as the terrain of battle.In Cities at War, Mary Kaldor and Saskia Sassen assemble an international team of scholars to examine cities as sites of contemporary warfare and insecurity. Reflecting Kaldor’s expertise on security cultures and Sassen’s perspective on cities and their geographies, they develop new insight into how cities and their residents encounter instability and conflict, as well as the ways in which urban forms provide possibilities for countering violence. Through a series of case studies of cities including Baghdad, Bogotá, Ciudad Juarez, Kabul, and Karachi, the book reveals the unequal distribution of insecurity as well as how urban capabilities might offer resistance and hope. Through analyses of how contemporary forms of identity, inequality, and segregation interact with the built environment, Cities at War explains why and how political violence has become increasingly urbanized. It also points toward the capacity of the city to shape a different kind of urban subjectivity that can serve as a foundation for a more peaceful and equitable future.

This book is a critiqued collection of over 200 terms regularly used to name the urban void, from the terrain vague to the buffer zone. As the landscape architect James Corner has pointed out, a void cannot be labeled because “to name it is to claim it in some way.” By listing existing terms, A Glossary of Urban Voids is an attempt to name the unnamable, to define that which should have no precise definition. It records terms, names, and labels used to designate leftover spaces resulting from processes of urban abandonment that originate from some kind of obsolescence or loss. Besides obvious consequences, these processes of abandonment open up the space, liberating it from existing ideological frameworks (such as financial, capital, or cultural frameworks), allowing for divergent spatialities to emerge, and ultimately offering opportunities for the imagination and conceptualization of an alternative type of public space. Using the glossary as a theoretical tool, this book presents the most relevant questions on the issue of the urban void and its potential role as public space.

In summer 2019, artist Eva Le Roi and architect Pierre Burquel travelled to São Paulo to research its particular urban conditions. Five subjective axonometric drawings on a 1:1000 scale ensued: Telhados, Piscinões, Condomínios, Campos and Galerias. Their project proposes to examine through drawings the specific urban conditions of a city (São Paulo), where rapid growth and the overlap of multiple, even contradictory, dynamics have resulted in the creation of powerful urban landscapes.The staggering growth of São Paulo and accumulation of what are often contradictory urban dynamics have created a complex urban landscape. Rather than an exhaustive study of this metropolitan environment, their project provides a narrative vision of five particular situations in the city of São Paulo. Each situation is described with a diptych of complementary visuals. On the one hand, an axonometry which, using processes of selection, framing, isolation and compilation, offers a new perspective and reveals specific aspects of the location. On the other hand, an image depicting the daily, often imperceptible routines in the appropriate context.

New public spaces tend to over-represent attentions for the young and middle-aged whereas elderly citizens are often neglected by contemporary urban design practice. This publication is a dialogue between architects and academic contributors from a variety of disciplines: By collecting examples and showcasing architectural case studies as well as age-inclusive design methodology, it provides practitioners with inspiration, theoretical and practical knowledge on how to design public space to meet the needs of people of all ages. The drawings, photographs and illustrations of contemporary built environments, historic gardens, art installations and atmospheric landscapes cater to the reading habits of spatial practitioners at large.With contributions by: by Dominique Hauderowicz, Kristian Ly Serena, Jon Dag Rasmussen, Agneta Stahl, Christine Swane, Denise Tan, Leng Leng Thang, Jens Troelsen, Joachim S. Wiewiura, Martin Gak, Herman Hertzberger, Susanne Iwarsson, Astrid Pernille Jespersen, Masashi Kajita, Rianne Van Melik, Karen Pallesgaard Munk, Roos Hoekstra-Pijpers.

Why do we build more than we need? While open spaces are becoming more and more scarce, we continue to overlook the possibilities of what has already been built. With this publication, RE-ST puts the unnecessary growth of our building stock on the agenda. Wander space is either built-over or undeveloped space that we have produced together, but underuse on a daily basis. It is space that exists everywhere and nowhere at different levels. Nobody knows exactly how much wander space there is. Detecting, mapping and activating occasional space is a task and an opportunity for the architect. Not to 'cram houses' into it, but to work on the redevelopment of what already exists and only build when there is no other option.

This publication inquires into the future of post-industrial cities framing and speculating on different industrial contexts: archipelagos (Eibar), fabrics (Cobo Calleja), assemblies (Detroit). Currently 55% of the world's population lives in cities, predictably reaching 70% in 2050. Cities are organisms in continuous transformation: growth, change, but also shrinking or collapse. 'Open City' explores and speculates from contemporaneity about the future of the post-industrial city, where industrial archipelagoes (S), frames (XL) and obsolete or deprogrammed singularities (M/L) represent critical contexts but also opportunities for a new Open City. Open Systems have been the research focus of CoLab since 2013. This book collects some relevant and engagingly contemporary insights. It also includes new unpublished interviews and articles with international participants leading players in this field.

Maakt de Brusselse binnenstad komaf met Koning Auto? Tussen 2015 en 2020 kreeg het stadscentrum haar eerste grote voetgangerszone, een van de grootste stadsprojecten van de afgelopen decennia. De centrale verkeersweg tussen het Fontainasplein en het De Brouckèreplein werd autovrij. Er kwam nieuwe publieke ruimte, groen, zitbanken en verlichting, maar ook nieuwe toegangen tot drie ondergrondse metrostations, twee fietsenstallingen en andere voorzieningen. Kan de binnenstad in breder kader dan de historische stadskern worden begrepen en zo het centrum van de Brusselse metropool worden waarin iedereen zich thuis voelt? Dit boek vat in woord en beeld én met concrete voorbeelden het onderzoek samen van vier jaar Brussels Centre Observatory (BCO). Het BCO is een kennis- en uitwisselingsplatform van 50 onderzoekers dat opgericht werd in 2015 binnen het Brussels Studies Institute met de steun van Stad Brussel. Dit onderzoek kwam tot stand dankzij de steun van Innoviris, Brussel Mobiliteit, perspective.brussels, het Forum des Vies Mobiles, het FNRS en de VGC, en met de medewerking van heel wat partners waaronder BOZAR, de Brusselse bouwmeester, de Brussels Academy, Architecture Workroom Brussels, en de stadsorganisaties BRAL, Atelier Groot Eiland, Welkom op de Kleine Ring en vele anderen. Sinds 2012 draagt het werk van het Brussels Studies Institute, het onderzoeksplatform over Brussel tussen 5 universiteiten (ULB, VUB, USL-B, UCL & KU Leuven), bij tot meer geïntegreerde, multi-perspectieve kennis over Brussel door onderzoekers en experts met uiteenlopende profielen samen te laten kijken naar grootstedelijke uitdagingen. Het BSI hecht veel belang aan de brede verspreiding van die resultaten, hun valorisatie en het debat daaromtrent. Deze publicatiereeks is één van de communicatiekanalen om het resultaat van dat werk ter beschikking te stellen van wie geïnteresseerd is in Brussel.
