This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage se concentre sur une période charnière de l’histoire urbaine de Beyrouth, le mandat français au Liban. Il met en lumière la question du transfert des savoirs et des savoir-faire en urbanisme dans la première moitié du XXe siècle. S’inscrivant dans la continuité des Ottomans, qui avaient déjà eu pour dessein de moderniser la ville, le mandat français prit un processus de modernisation en cours et avança de grands projets pour Beyrouth, siège du haut-commissariat et vitrine de la présence française. L’accent est porté sur les outils mis en place et les réformes structurelles engagées durant le mandat, qui donnèrent à la ville de Beyrouth les moyens de sa transformation. Ce dispositif comprend à la fois la réglementation et l’émergence de nouveaux acteurs urbains et institutionnels. Avec le mandat français au Levant, l’urbanisme de plan s’installe comme mode d’appréhension de la ville. Cet ouvrage met en évidence comment l’urbanisme français de l’entre-deux-guerres s’est exporté vers Beyrouth, comment de nouveaux canons d’esthétique urbaine s’y sont imposés. Les projets d’aménagement de Beyrouth conçus par le cabinet Danger puis par l’architecte Michel Écochard sont représentatifs de deux grands courants de l’urbanisme qui ont marqué les villes durant cette période. Le premier mit en œuvre un urbanisme fondé sur l’art urbain et une pensée hygiéniste, tandis que le second introduisit, de façon avant-gardiste, les grands principes de l’urbanisme du mouvement moderne. L’analyse de ces deux plans d’aménagement de Beyrouth permet de dégager l’outillage conceptuel véhiculé, les interactions avec le terrain et les dynamiques engendrées. Le pouvoir mandataire manqua certes de moyens et de détermination pour envisager une politique urbaine ambitieuse à l’échelle de la ville. Pourtant, en deux décennies de mandat, le mode de production de l’espace urbain fut bouleversé. Les bases étaient jetées pour que Beyrouth devienne quelques années plus tard une capitale qui se vante de son architecture internationale, mais dans laquelle des modes séculaires d’appréhension de l’espace urbain ont survécu aux turbulences du siècle. Marlène Ghorayeb est architecte-urbaniste, docteur en urbanisme et aménagement de l’espace. Professeur à l’École spéciale d’architecture, elle est responsable du 3e cycle d’urbanisme, DES – Mutations urbaines. Ses travaux portent sur le transfert des théories en urbanisme et les enjeux du développement urbain. Ils en ont parlé Un article, Le Courrier de l'Architecte, 12 novembre 2014

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Visions of Beirut Hatim El-Hibri explores how the creation and circulation of images have shaped the urban spaces and cultural imaginaries of Beirut. Drawing on fieldwork and texts ranging from maps, urban plans, and aerial photographs to live television and drone-camera footage, El-Hibri traces how the technologies and media infrastructure that visualize the city are used to consolidate or destabilize regimes of power. Throughout the twentieth century, colonial, economic, and military mapping projects helped produce and govern Beirut's spaces. In the 1990s, the imagery of its post-civil war downtown reconstruction cast Beirut as a site of financial investment in ways that obscured its ongoing crises. During and following the 2006 Israel/Hizbullah war, Hizbullah's use of live television broadcasts of fighting and protests along with its construction of a war memorial museum at a former secret military bunker demonstrate the tension between visualizing space and the practices of concealment. Outlining how Beirut's urban space and public life intertwine with images and infrastructure, El-Hibri interrogates how media embody and exacerbate the region's political fault lines.

Download or read book Asfuriyyeh written by Joelle M Abi-Rached and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of psychiatry in the Middle East, viewed through the history of one of the first modern mental hospitals in the region. ʿAṣfūriyyeh (formally, the Lebanon Hospital for the Insane) was founded by a Swiss Quaker missionary in 1896, one of the first modern psychiatric hospitals in the Middle East. It closed its doors in 1982, a victim of Lebanon's brutal fifteen-year civil war. In this book, Joelle Abi-Rached uses the rise and fall of ʿAṣfūriyyeh as a lens through which to examine the development of modern psychiatric theory and practice in the region as well as the sociopolitical history of modern Lebanon. Abi-Rached shows how ʿAṣfūriyyeh's role shifted from a missionary enterprise to a national institution with wide regional influence. She offers a gripping chronicle of patients' and staff members' experiences during the Lebanese Civil War and analyzes the hospital's distinctive nonsectarian philosophy. When ʿAṣfūriyyeh closed down, health in general and mental health in particular became more visibly “sectarianized”—monopolized by various religious and political actors. Once hailed for its progressive approach to mental illness and its cosmopolitanism, ʿAṣfūriyyeh became a stigmatizing term, a byword for madness and deviance, ultimately epitomizing a failed project of modernity. Reflecting on the afterlife of this and other medical institutions, especially those affected by war, Abi-Rached calls for a new “ethics of memory,” more attuned to our global yet increasingly fragmented, unstable, and violent present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The city of Beirut is increasingly congested, polluted and suffocating. Its already limited green public spaces are under growing threat of privatisation and redevelopment. The State Otherwise examines the difficult predicament of Beirut’s public green spaces from the vantage point of the civic campaign to reopen Horsh al Sanawbar, the city’s largest public park. Analysing the relationship between neoliberal sectarianism, private interest and political action, the book asks questions about the nature of privatisation of public property, civic society’s potential to mobilise individuals and the role of public authorities in promoting the public good.

Book excerpt: Débat à partir des ouvrages "Beyrouth sous mandat français. Construction d'une ville moderne" de Marlène Ghorayeb (Éd. Karthala, 2014), "Intensive Beyrouth" de Youssef Tohme (Ed. Norma, 2014) et "Beyrouth et ses urbanistes. Une ville en plans (1946-1975)" d'Eric Verdeil (Presses de l'IFPO, 2010). L'urbanisme de Beyrouth saisi à trois moments-clés de l'histoire moderne de la ville : la gouvernance mandataire (à partir de 1918), l'euphorie de l'Indépendance (après 1946) et les excès du libéralisme après la fin de la guerre civile en 1990. Plus riches en intentions qu'en réalisations, les successives mises en plan de la capitale libanaise invitent à une réflexion sur les temporalités de l'action publique, ainsi que sur les sédimentations et résiliences qui fondent l'urbanité libanaise; en retour, les plans offrent l'opportunité de s'intéresser aux processus d'internationalisation des concepts, des outils et des milieux professionnels de l'urbanisme au XXe siècle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Europe in the 20th century is closely tied to the history of urban planning. Social and economic progress but also the brute treatment of people and nature throughout Europe were possible due to the use of urban planning and the other levels of spatial planning. Thereby, planning has constituted itself in Europe as an international subject. Since its emergence, through intense exchange but also competition, despite country differences, planning has developed as a European field of practice and scientific discipline. Planning is here much more than the addition of individual histories; however, historiography has treated this history very selective regarding geography and content. This book searches for an understanding of the historiography of planning in a European dimension. Scholars from Eastern and Western, Southern and Northern Europe address the issues of the public led production of city and the social functions of urban planning in capitalist and state-socialist countries. The examined examples include Poland and USSR, Czech Republic and Slovakia, UK, Netherlands, Germany, France, Portugal and Spain, Italy, and Sweden. The book will be of interest to students and scholars for Urbanism, Urban/Town Planning, Spatial Planning, Spatial Politics, Urban Development, Urban Policies, Planning History and European History of the 20th Century.

Download or read book Paris in the Americas: Yesterday and Today written by Carole Salmon and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across centuries, France -and especially its capital city, Paris- established itself as a major source of influence across the Americas through colonization, diplomacy and political influence, but also through intellectualism and cultural productions of all sorts, either by imposition, exportation or as a trend of fashion via a bilateral transatlantic movement of people and ideas. In itself, the influence of Paris, the “capital of the world,” as Patrice Higonnet (2002) analyzes it, is similar to a phantasmagoria, which results in a transatlantic fascination for the city of lights and all the tangible or intangible elements that function as its embodiment. As Stuart Hall explains, understanding cultures and languages and their representations through various manifestations presupposes that we can identify, understand and interpret the signs that constitute their core identity. (Hall 2013). In an interdisciplinary approach, this multi-authored, edited volume examines the long-established relationships between Paris and cities across the American continent, in the past as well as in the present time. In order to explore all aspects of Paris’s influence(s) in the Americas, this volume is organized around two main axes of analysis: first, in a geographical progression from North to South, the reader is invited to reflect upon cultural productions that demonstrate the many influences of Paris in the Americas through theater, literature, philosophy, fashion and cinema (chapters 1 to 6). In the following chapters (7 to 11), the volume focuses particularly on a variety of urban connections that take the reader from South to North this time, analyzing tangible architectural and urban design influences of Paris in major cities such as Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, New York, or Washington D.C. In today’s global world, this multifaceted study of Paris’ visible and invisible influences in the Americas clearly reveals the transnational intersections of spaces, languages, people and cultures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage présente l’histoire de l’urbanisme de Beyrouth entre la période de l’indépendance et le début de la guerre civile libanaise. Il met l’accent sur l’ambitieuse présidence réformiste de Fouad Chéhab, moment fondateur de la construction de l’État au Liban, souvent invoquée, admirée, regrettée, parfois aussi décriée pour ses échecs et ses ambitions déçues, notamment dans le domaine social et urbanistique. Cette période mérite d’être analysée pour elle-même plutôt que comme un âge d’or, une parenthèse ou la cause des malheurs qui l’ont suivi. L’urbanisme fut une des utopies de l’époque. Ce livre s’efforce de restituer l’originalité de cette période dans un cadre plus large, celui de l’urbanisme dans les pays arabes accédant à l’indépendance. Il insiste sur la dimension politique des projets urbains et sur leur contribution à la construction d’un État moderne, garant du développement. Ces plans firent face à l’opposition de forces sociales multiples, allant des habitants mal logés aux spéculateurs fonciers. Il en résulta de nombreux renoncements : Beyrouth est largement restée, à cette époque, une ville en plans. Une place privilégiée est accordée aux professionnels de l’urbanisme, architectes et ingénieurs, qui se reconnurent et s’investirent dans ce projet mais l’infléchirent aussi par leurs conceptions modernistes et élitistes. Face aux experts français, comme le Père Lebret ou Michel Écochard, les professionnels libanais s’imposèrent dans les administrations et les conseils et prirent en charge la conception des plans et leur réalisation. Ils construisirent un imaginaire aménageur qui perdura par delà le temps de la guerre pour hanter les projets et contre-projets de la reconstruction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quartiers « illégaux », « informels », « irréguliers » : les études sur l’urbanisme proche-oriental s’intéressent de plus en plus à ces lieux de la ville où l’habitat contrevient aux règles de la construction et de l’urbanisme. Ces désignations recouvrent en réalité une grande diversité dans les histoires et les enjeux socio-politiques présidant au développement de ces quartiers. Ce livre en étudie un exemple particulièrement révélateur. La banlieue sud-ouest de Beyrouth concentre la grande majorité des quartiers irréguliers du Liban : ceux-ci participent de la stigmatisation sociale de cette périphérie de la capitale, et les grands projets de reconstruction de l’après-guerre ont par ailleurs fait de l’irrégularité urbaine une question d’actualité. Les occupations de terrains pendant la guerre ou encore les extensions des camps de réfugiés sont liées à l’histoire récente du Liban. Mais en se plongeant dans l’histoire foncière des parcelles irrégulièrement construites et occupées, ce livre révèle que leur sort a également été marqué par des ambiguïtés juridiques remontant à l’époque ottomane ou au Mandat français. Cette profondeur historique remet en perspective le phénomène de l’irrégularité foncière. S’ajoutent des histoires particulières, celles de propriétaires plus ou moins bien placés pour protéger leur bien, qui montrent que les stratégies individuelles ou collectives sont souvent un facteur important pour expliquer la localisation et l’ampleur des irrégularités. Plan, réglementation, loi et norme sont des outils majeurs de l’urbanisme. lorsqu’il organise la ville. Aussi l’irrégularité, qu’elle soit définie en termes juridiques (illégalité) ou formels (désordre visible dans l’espace), fonctionne-t-elle comme un remarquable révélateur des tensions qui traversent l’aménagement urbain. Entretiens, enquêtes de terrain, travail sur des archives cartographiques et juridiques ou encore étude du cadastre mettent ici au jour les raisons qui rendent certains lieux plus vulnérables ou plus accueillants que d’autres à l’irrégularité.
