  Evolutions of the American city

  Ce colloque international se propose de croiser les approches disciplinaires sur la question des origines et celle de la transmission des identités urbaines. La problématique des transferts des savoirs, qui s’inscrit dans la continuité des colloques et des publications du laboratoire de recherche CRIT permettra d’élargir la réflexion sur la fluidité ou la rémanence de ces représenta. En effet, l’espace urbain a de tout temps accueilli, et parfois rejeté, souvent dans un paradoxe se nourrissant de ces ceux extrêmes, des populations venues d’horizons divers. Dans ce pays d’immigration que sont les États-Unis, le phénomène d’urbanisation est particulièrement propice à ce déploiement d’énergies, ainsi qu’aux brassages culturels et projets économiques et politiques. C’est alors un processus de savoirs entrecroisés qui au fil des années impose aux villes américaines leur géographie humaine si particulière et des spécificités propres.

  Second World Urbanity: Between Capitalist and Communist Utopias

  Second World Urbanity: Between Capitalist and Communist Utopias seeks to investigate the history of the radical reshaping of the Soviet World (in our words - the Second World), that Ada Louise Huxtable reported on in the late 1960s. This project aims to bring together scholarly contributions on the various endeavors in the Second World to conceive, build, and inhabit a socialist cityscape that was an alternative to the segregated spaces of capitalist cities and the atomized world of suburbia. Imagining and designing urban space were undeniably powerful instruments of forging socialist modernity. Second World Urbanity pays close attention to the tensions between global challenges and locally driven agendas that made architects, planners, and ordinary dwellers alter socialist modernity according to more particular interests.

  Sustainable mobilities in peri-urban areas?

  Which lifestyles in the alter-urbain / suburban rural / citta diffusa / Zwischenstadt?

  Can peri-urban areas become privileged spaces of adaptability to the economic, energy and climate crises of the 21st century? This is the question that will be discussed during the 2nd International Meeting of Mobile Lives Forum, January 24th and 25th, 2013 at the Maison Rouge (Paris 12ème). This Meeting seeks to question the image of peri-urban areas as unliveable, unbearable and without qualities or urbanness. Researchers, professionals and artists will defend their views of the different lifestyles these areas give birth to and potential they offer in terms of sustainable mobility. The audience will be invited to actively participate in the discussion.
