ASSOCIER "EQUIPEMENTS CULTURELS" ET "VILLE" EST UNE AUTRE MANIERE DE PENSER LA VILLE, SOUS L'ANGLE DE L'INSCRIPTION CULTURELLE DES SOCIETES DANS L'ESPACE URBAIN. ON EXPLORE ICI CETTE NOUVELLE DIMENSION DU FAIT URBAIN, QUE CONSTITUENT LES ACTIVITES CULTURELLES DES VILLES FRANCAISES, AU TRAVERS DES INVESTISSEMENTS QU'ELLES ONT REALISE DANS LES EQUIPEMENTS CULTURELS. DANS UN ETAT TRES TOT ET TRES CONTINUEMENT INTERVENTIONNISTE EN MATIERE CULTURELLE, L'ECHELON DES VILLES CONSTITUE UN NIVEAU D'INTERVENTION MAJEUR. LA GRANDE DIVERSITE DES POLITIQUES CULTURELLES MUNICIPALES ET L'IMPORTANCE DU PARC DES EQUIPEMENTS CULTURELS URBAINS EN TEMOIGNENT. DANS L'ENSEMBLE, LE SECTEUR DE LA CULTURE REPRESENTE D'ABORD UNE ACTIVITE DE SERVICE A LA POPULATION QUI S'EST DIFFUSEE DANS L'ENSEMBLE DES VILLES. LA FONCTION CULTURELLE URBAINE, REVELEE PAR L'ORGANISATION DES EQUIPEMENTS CULTURELS URBAINS, SEMBLE RENFORCER LA HIERARCHISATION DES VILLES, APPORTANT UN CHOIX CULTUREL D'AUTANT PLUS ELARGI ET UNE DESSERTE D'AUTANT PLUS IMPORTANTE QUE LA VILLE EST DE GRANDE TAILLE. AINSI, DANS LE CONTEXTE DE COMPARAISON ET DE COMPETITIVITE, NOTAMMENT EN TERMES D'IMAGE DE MARQUE ET DE QUALITE DE LA VIE, LA CULTURE RENFORCERAIT LA POSITION RELATIVE DES VILLES DANS LE SYSTEME URBAIN FRANCAIS. MAIS LA FONCTION CULTURELLE URBAINE EST EGALEMENT UNE ACTIVITE SPECIFIQUE, DANS LA MESURE OU ELLE NE REFLETE PAS, EN DEHORS DE L'EFFET MANIFESTE DE LA TAILLE DES VILLES, LES AUTRES DIMENSIONS DU SYSTEME URBAIN. LA COMPOSITION SOCIALE EXPLICITE LE RAPPORT DES FRANCAIS A LA CULTURE, MAIS NE CONTRIBUE QUE MODESTEMENT A EXPLIQUER LA REPARTITION DES EQUIPEMENTS CULTURELS DANS LES VILLES. DES SPECIFICITES TRES MARQUANTES EN MATIERE D'EQUIPEMENT CULTUREL EXISTENT. LA CULTURE POSSEDE DONC DANS SES EXPRESSIONS VIVANTES, UNE LOGIQUE PROPRE, LIEE AUX ENERGIES LOCALES ET AUX RESSOURCES SPECIFIQUES A CHAQUE VILLE.

The relationship between culture and urbanism has been the focus of much discussion and debate in recent years. While globalisation tends towards a homogeneity, successful 'global cities' have a strong individual - and particularly cultural - identity. The economic value of the culture of cities lies not only in the arts taking place there but also in the city’s fabric, its architecture, and in its cultural heritage. This volume brings together a team of leading specialists to examine the policies of image and city marketing which have developed over the past 15 years and whether these are a continuity of earlier strategies. Featuring case studies which illustrate diverse perspectives on linking culture, urbanism and history, the book reviews heritage and planning culture, looking at the experience of urbanism in the 'Old Historic City'. The book also assesses the increasingly important issue of urban images and their influence on planning strategies.

Heterotopia, literally meaning ‘other place’, is a rich concept in urban design that describes a space that is on the margins of ordered or civil society, and one that possesses multiple, fragmented or even incompatible meanings. The term has had an impact on architectural and urban theory since it was coined by Foucault in the late 1960s but it has remained a source of confusion and debate since. Heterotopia and the City seeks to clarify this concept and investigates the heterotopias which exist throughout our contemporary world: in museums, theme parks, malls, holiday resorts, gated communities, wellness hotels and festival markets. With theoretical contributions on the concept of heterotopia, including a new translation of Foucault’s influential 1967 text, Of Other Space and essays by well-known scholars, the book comprises a series of critical case studies, from Beaubourg to Bilbao, which probe a range of (post)urban transformations and which redirect the debate on the privatization of public space. Wastelands and terrains vagues are studied in detail in a section on urban activism and transgression and the reader gets a glimpse of the extremes of our dualized, postcivil condition through case studies on Jakarta, Dubai, and Kinshasa. Heterotopia and the City provides a collective effort to reposition heterotopia as a crucial concept for contemporary urban theory. The book will be of interest to all those wishing to understand the city in the emerging postcivil society and post-historical era. Planners, architects, cultural theorists, urbanists and academics will find this a valuable contribution to current critical argument.
