Hier bas-fonds inesthétiques et insalubres, livrés aux démolisseurs, les centres anciens appellent aujourd'hui les louanges. Le modernisme triomphant des années soixante s'estompe et les motifs économiques ne suffisent pas à l'expliquer. En France, ce changement d'orientation a pris des formes spectaculaires sous l'impulsion de l'État, avec des lois, des organismes spécialisés et des moyens financiers. Cette politique et ses conséquences, en particulier les déplacements de population, méritent d'être décrites. Mais ce livre veut aller plus loin. Il mobilise les ressources de la sociologie pour saisir ce qui fait la spécificité du renouveau des centres anciens : la réinvention d'un patrimoine. Le passéisme n'explique pas tout. Dans un ensemble de mouvements convergents (mode rétro, écologie, néo-ruralisme...) s'expriment et se construisent des valeurs nouvelles qui recomposent une image de l'authenticité, des racines, du patrimoine. Cette mutation s'applique au statut même de l'espace dans notre civilisation.

Many European cities have a shortage of good quality, affordable housing, but this problem has become less prominent in policy than it should be. This timely book aims to redress that balance. After an introductory chapter, expert contributors provide contemporary comparative accounts of housing renewal policy and practice in nine European countries in its physical, economic, social, community and cultural aspects. Shared concerns over energy conservation, social protection and inclusion, and the roles and responsibilities of the public and private sectors form the basis of a proposed policy agenda for housing renewal across Europe. The concluding chapters draw conclusions from a pan-European perspective and consider the future prospects for renewing older housing. Academics, practitioners, policy-makers and students of housing, urban studies, planning, regeneration, environmental health and sustainability will all want to read this book.

Greece Reinvented discusses the transformation of Byzantine Hellenism as the cultural elite of Byzantium, displaced to Italy, constructed it. It explores why and how Byzantine migrants such as Cardinal Bessarion, Ianus Lascaris, and Giovanni Gemisto adopted Greek personas to replace traditional Byzantine claims to the heirship of ancient Rome. In Greece Reinvented, Han Lamers shows that being Greek in the diaspora was both blessing and burden, and explores how these migrants’ newfound ‘Greekness’ enabled them to create distinctive positions for themselves while promoting group cohesion. These Greek personas reflected Latin understandings of who the Greeks ‘really’ were but sometimes also undermined Western paradigms. Greece Reinvented reveals some of the cultural tensions that bubble under the surface of the much-studied transmission of Greek learning from Byzantium to Italy.
