Abstract

Durant l’automne 2005, une partie des banlieues françaises s’est embrasée sous l’effet d’une vague de violences urbaines sans précédent. La France est-elle en train de voir émerger un phénomène comparable à celui des ghettos américains ? La ségrégation ethnique prenant le relais ou se combinant avec la ségrégation socio-spatiale, jamais la comparaison entre les situations américaines et françaises n’a paru aussi nécessaire. Assiste-t-on à une américanisation au moins partielle de la question des banlieues ? Au travers d’études de cas précises — New York, villes californiennes, banlieue nord de Paris, région lyonnaise et nord de la France —, les auteurs de ce numéro d’Hérodote (qui reprend les communications d’un colloque franco-américain à l’université de Cergy-Pontoise en décembre 2005) analysent les similarités et les différences des processus de ségrégation aux États-Unis et en France. Faut-il désormais appréhender le problème de la ségrégation en terme de minorités et faut-il le mesurer en classant les populations en fonction de leur appartenance ethnique ? Quelles expériences innovantes permettent de lutter contre la ségrégation ? (éd.)

Abstract

For as long as they have existed, cities have been destroyed--sacked, shaken, burnt, bombed, flooded, starved, irradiated, and pillaged--in almost every case they have risen again. Rarely in modern times has a city not been rebuilt following destruction, be it natural or man-made. The Resilient City explores urban disasters from around the globe and the ongoing restoration of urban life. It examines why cities are rebuilt, how a vision for the future gets incorporated into a new urban landscape, and how disasters have been interpreted and commemorated in built form. An international cast of historians, architects, and urban studies experts looks at a diverse group of cities that have suffered traumas, including: * the Oklahoma City bombing * Chicago's great fire of 1871 * San Francisco's earthquake and fires of 1906 * Washington's invasion by the British during the War of 1812 * Berlin and Warsaw in World War II * Gernika's bombardment during the Spanish Civil War * Jerusalems rebuilding following centuries of destruction * Mexico City's 1985 earthquake * China's Tangshan earthquake * Tokyo's earthquake, fires, and WWII bombardment * Beirut in the 1990s wars * South Central Los Angeles following the Rodney King beating In so doing, they bring to light the experiences these resilient cities share, while underscoring that no two cities have recovered in the precisely the same way. This book will appeal to anyone interested in cities, among humankind's most durable artifacts and enduring forms of communal life.
