The ubiquitous settlement pattern of the American suburb is in fact a carefully constructed reality. Because the vision of the home in the suburbs is very deeply rooted, any development which is considered threatening to this image is met with a defensive reaction. Too often, however, when these NIMBY ("Not In My Back Yard") sentiments are permitted to dictate what is acceptable in a community, housing affordable to low- and moderate-income households is purposely excluded.This thesis explores the processes by which discriminatory NIMBY sentiments are realized as legal development regulations in contemporary suburbs. The historic evolution of the suburbs and the psychological foundations behind their typical characteristics are presented as the sources of a suburban value structure which esteems NIMBY. Suburban governments are mandated to represent their constituents' values, but exclusionary development controls are a complex product of constituent demands, fiscal constraints, and constitutional limits.
This analysis reveals that legislative responsibility often bows to political weakness. NIMBY groups use political pressure to manipulate municipal governments into using their vast discretionary powers over development as a weapon for exclusion. In response to either political or fiscal motivations, legislators pressure planners to validate discriminatory legislative agendas with their plans, thus undermining their abilities to guide growth effectively. Although the process of development regulation is well-grounded in historic and legal precedents, when legislation is used for discriminatory ends, citizens' civil and property rights are jeopardized. This thesis explains how regulations such as zoning ordinances can be used for exclusion when municipal government disregards its mandate to be the guardian of the general welfare.
Increased awareness of both the motivations and the manifestations of the NIMBY phenomenon may enable individuals as well as lawmakers to create a more equitable suburbia.

This study presents an indicator system created for the Town of Fishers, Indiana to examine and evaluate the quality of life within the community. After reviewing other communities' indicator projects, a series of 20 indicators were developed for the Town of Fishers. There is a brief discussion and a possible source of data for each indicator. The indicators can be utilized by the community leaders and residents to monitor the quality of life. To continue this study, Fishers can create a benchmarking system to set goals for the future of the community.Department of Urban Planning

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
Over the last 20 years, efforts have been made to improve design quality in new suburban residential developments. Following the global credit crisis of 2008, political emphasis shifted away from design quality and ore firmly towards increasing the level of house building. With CABE dissolved in 2010 and funding across central and local government cut, the resources to challenge poor design are limited. Local authority urban designers and the number of urban design courses offered by English universities has fallen increasing the risk of a future skills shortage. Within this climate of austerity, deregulation and political impatience to get 'Britain building'1, how might design quality be improved? The research is an insight into one local authority's efforts to improve residential design quality over a ten-year period. Empirical evidence challenges the dominant theory that robust local regulatory control is the principal means by which local authorities can secure well designed developments. As part of the research, a new version of Building for Life was created to align with the National Planning Policy Framework (DCLG, 2012a). The research also provides evidence that suggests that a different, more proactive approach to design regulation could emerge through the application of digital, mobile technologies as an integral part of the English planning system and an improved understanding of the interrelationship between product development and planning processes.

Captive Still Life is the fictional story of Marcus Penikett, a seventeen year old celebrity trapped in a scary, suburbanite housing community called Morningside. Marcus Penikett will never escape the childhood incident at the Zoo that made him and the Penikett family famous —the infamous TIME cover of his bleeding face hangs outside of his room, forever documenting and haunting Marcus with the past. Now, Marcus is determined to leave the housing community of Morningside, Georgia to get away from his control freak mother Elise, his absent professor father Otto and a menagerie of other Morningside residents. This plan is complicated by his love for fellow neighbor Olivia, sexual relationship with the maid Sue and Morningside's uncanny 'power' to thwart Marcus' goals.

Diversity practitioners in the United States have taken steps to implement programs for integration of people in organizations from across the socioeconomic and demographic spectrum. Despite changes in U.S. discrimination laws and work by diversity practitioners, maintaining equitable workplace diversity continues to be a problem in U.S. corporations. This correlational study was conducted to examine differences in life-guiding principles, urban identification, and person-organization fit between urban and suburban residents. A purposive sample of 180 adults was drawn in a voluntary online survey from industries in two U.S. representative counties with a mix of urban and suburban sprawl. This study was also conducted to further examine planned behavior, expectancy, normative social influence, and social impact theories by comparing how the independent variable of participant residence location affected the dependent variables of life-guiding principles, urban identification, and person-organization fit. T-test statistics were used to test mean differences in normally distributed data sets, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for testing differences in non-normally distributed data sets. Test results revealed that there were differences in the dependent variables with a significant difference in urban identification for urban and suburban residents, confirming the hypothesis. Findings from this study may help diversity practitioners and organizational leaders understand the differences among urban and suburban residents. Study findings may also support organizations' social agenda toward addressing diversity issues and for narrowing career achievement gaps between urban and suburban residents through a better understanding of variations in culture.

Feder, Darcy Anne. "Reading Placelessness and Suburbanization in Richard Yates." The University of Montana, 2007. http://etd.lib.umt.edu/theses/available/etd-05152007-185515/.
Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
The themes of suburbanization and placelessness arise in many of Yates novels, exposing the continuing pattern of conformity at any price which accompanied the rapidly-changing era of post-World War II America. As suburbanization began to take its toll on the American landscape, a new, increasingly placeless environment started to emerge; endless subdivisions of identical houses, commercial strip developments, shopping centers, and movie plazas sprang up, places which not only looked alike, but felt alike. A cultural shift accompanied this changing environment, one which embraced a new domestic ideal of the suburban family, an image constantly reinforced through the media of the time. Yates characters, while on the surface conforming to this ideal, imagine breaking free from their mundane lifestyles, harboring visions of untapped greatness within themselves. Ultimately, however, they lack the autonomy or strength of character needed to accomplish this break. Having existed for so long in an empty, shallow environment providing possibilities only for commonplace and mediocre experiences, they must cling desperately to safety and security at any price.

Australia is a suburban nation. Today, with increasing concern regarding the sustainability of cities, an appreciation of the complexities of Australian suburbia is critical to the debate about urban futures. As a built environment and a cultural phenomenon, the Australian suburbs have inspired considerable scholarly literature. Yet to date, such scholarly work has largely overlooked the changing environmental values and visions of those shaping and residing within suburban landscapes, and the practices through which such values and visions are materialised in the processes of suburban development. Focusing on the post-war suburban landscapes of Canberra and Perth, this thesis centralises the environmental, political and economic forces that have shaped human action to construct suburban spaces, paying particular attention to the extent to which individual understandings and visions of 'environment' have determined the shape and nature of suburban development. Specifically, it examines how those operating within Australias suburbs, including planners, developers, builders, landscape designers and residents have imagined the 'environment', and how such imaginaries have shifted in response to varying spatial, temporal and ideological contexts. Tracing the shifting nature of environmental concern throughout the mid-to-late twentieth century, it argues that despite the somewhat unsustainable nature of Australia's suburban landscapes, the planning and development of such landscapes has long been influenced by and has responded to differing understandings of 'environment', which themselves are the product of changing social, political and economic concerns. In doing so, this thesis challenges a number of perceptions concerning Australian suburbs, environmental awareness and sustainability. In particular, it contests the assumption that environmental concern for Australia's suburban development emerged with the urban consolidation debates of the 1980s and 1990s, and analyses a range of environmental sensibilities not often acknowledged in current histories of Australian environmentalism. By examining, for example, how the deterministic and economic concerns of differing planning bodies, along with the aesthetic and ecological concerns of various planners, are intertwined with the housing and domestic lifestyle preferences of suburban homeowners, this history brings to the fore the often conflicting environmental ideas and practices that arise in the course of suburban development, and provides a more nuanced history of the diversity of environmental sensibilities. In sum, this thesis enhances our understandings of the changing nature of environmental concern and illuminates the complex, still largely misunderstood, environmental ideas and practices that arise in the processes of suburban development.

The aim of this research project has been to merge components of ideas relating to House and Home that have been formed by the inherently sensitive autobiographical nature of my own experience whilst growing up in a suburban environment. Naturally, these symbols or metaphors of the mundane reveal much more than what superficial impressions allow. They invite the viewer into an inner world of dream /memory and hypothesis that hopefully invokes within the viewer a desire to reach beyond their own perceptions of the everyday, and to re-examine the source of their own identity, thereby bringing some new emphasis to their own significant journey.Master of Arts (Visual Arts)

While many educators viewed transition as a one-time event, it often proved to be more of a process than simply an occasion (Cohen & Smerdon, 2009). The researcher observed through the role as a school counselor that students with high anxiety tended to exhibit low resilience during times of transition. In order to assist students as they moved from eighth to ninth grade, the school of study implemented the Overcoming Obstacles Life Skills Program (OOLSP) using student mentors. This study explored student perception of anxiety and resilience in relation to participating in this program. The researcher utilized the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAS) as pre- and post-tests, and conducted a z-test for difference in means analysis. Attendance rates were studied, due to the high correlation found in research between attendance and achievement, using a Pearson Product Moment Correlation analysis. Perception questionnaires were completed in December and May by 287 freshmen, 45 mentor students, 16 teachers, and 315 parents. Interviews were conducted with 10 freshmen, nine student mentors, and six teachers.
Results from the surveys and perception questionnaires proved inconsistent. The SCAS scores indicated a significant change in student anxiety levels, especially on the generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and panic disorder subscales. Interestingly, students’ perceived anxiety decreased based on questionnaire responses. Results from the CD-RISC suggested students’ resilience did not change, while responses from the questionnaire showed a significant increase in students’ perceived resilience. Attendance rates had a moderately strong relationship, indicating a correlation between eighth and ninth grade attendance. Perceptions from freshmen, student mentors, teachers, and parents suggested that the relationships formed during the program implementation had more influence than the program itself.
Based on the inconsistent results, the researcher recommended discontinuing the use of the OOLSP, as it was implemented in this study. The researcher recommended maintaining the mentoring program and improving upon pre-existing structures. Future researchers were encouraged to conduct further exploration on the OOLSP using more traditional implementations, as well as investigating student-perceived anxiety and resilience in comparison to documented experiences of anxiety and resilience.

Urbanization and climate change are two of the most important issues of our days. Many attempts have been made to define the most sustainable way to organise cities in order to cope with the increased population, while simultaneously being climate friendly, socially acceptable and economically viable. This master thesis focuses on the comparison of the sustainability performance of two particular theoretically planned urban forms, located in the suburban area of Stockholm – a “compact city”-like neighborhood and a “garden-city”-like neighbourhood. It was decided that the focus would be on the carbon footprint of the representative residences of each urban form, with the help of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA); and that overall sustainability criteria for neighbourhoods would after wards be assessed, having a certification system forsustainable neighbourhoods (CityLab for districts, in particular) as a framework for a – mostly theoreticalassessment. After the exploring of the differences in the sustainability performance(environmental and social) of the two assessed urban forms, a discussion is made concerning the relationship between urban form and sustainability and conditions under which the most sustainable urban form could be achieved. The results of the analysis highlight that the concept “one size fits all” cannot conform to urban planning decisions, since cities should be able to adjust to the needs of each generation.

This thesis studies Covid-19 influence on public life in three different Stockholm suburbs. Strategies to decrease the spread of Covid-19 have made people stay where they live and keep physical distance. Thereby more residents might spend more time in their suburban area and use the public realm differently than before. Similarly, current planning trends such as 1- and-15 minute cities emphasize the need for more functions in residential areas. The case study suburbs have varying characteristics. Aspudden is a very urban suburb with a high street, Bredäng a post-war modernist influenced suburb and Mälarhöjden a garden city inspired suburb. The findings suggest that people wanted to spend more time in green areas as well as socialising outside during Covid-19. Mälarhöjden appeared to use part of their suburban centre slightly more during the pandemic. The socioeconomic contexts of the different suburbs also appear to influence public life patterns during Covid-19 and more importantly put areas like Bredäng at a higher mortality risk for Covid-19 the other areas, which should be investigated further.

Stickells, Lee. "Form and reform : affective form and the garden suburb." University of Western Australia. School of Architecture, Landscape and Visual Arts, 2005. http://theses.library.uwa.edu.au/adt-WU2005.0089.

This thesis establishes the concept of affective form as a means of examining urban design – being the intersection of architecture, planning and landscape – in relation to techniques of governance. Affective form broadly describes a built environment where people are encouraged to amend, or govern, their actions according to particular socio–political ideas. Exploration of the concept’s application as a theoretical tool is undertaken here in order to generate a means of discussing the ethical function of urban design. The emergence of notions of affective form will be located in the eighteenth century, alongside the growing confidence in the ability for humankind to effect social and cultural progress. In a series of examples, stretching throughout the twentieth century, the implicit relation of planning, architectural and landscape form to social effect is discussed. The language, and design models, used to delineate affective form are described, alongside discussion of the level of intentionality apparent in the conceptions of urban form’s social effect. Critique through affective form allows an analysis that brings together the underlying utopian elements of projects – the traces of ideology and sociological theories – with an evaluation of the formal concepts projected. As the second area of investigation, the city of Perth in Western Australia provides a contextual focus for the examination of concepts of affective form. Through a series of appropriations of urban design models a suburban archetype emerged in Perth of a planned, homogenous field of low–rise, single–family, detached dwellings within a gardenesque landscape. The process of appropriation is described as a continuing negotiation between local expectations and the implicit conceptions of affective form within the imported models. Connecting the two primary concerns of the thesis, the ability of form to influence social change and the evolution of Perth’s garden suburb ideal, is the association of that developing garden suburb model with notions of affective form. The associations are outlined through three case studies. The first is an account of the planning of the City of Perth Endowment Lands Project during the 1920s. The second describes the planning and architecture of the athlete’s village built for the VIIIth British Empire and Commonwealth Games held in Perth in 1962. The third study details the development in the 1990s of Joondalup, a satellite city in the Perth metropolitan region. The account of Perth’s garden suburb ideal is intertwined with the consideration of the varying ways in which the conceptualization of affective form has been expressed. Each case study is contextualized by a preceding chapter that discusses the particular conceptions of affective form used in its examination. Thus the main body of the thesis comprises three parts – each associated with a case study, each containing two linked chapters

This project involved development of a series of new building and urban designs available for innovators operating in new suburban greenfield situations in Queensland, Australia. The project drew on significant primary research with suburban home-based creative industries workers, vernacular architecture, and town planning in the Toowoomba region, and comprised construction of a prototype 'homeworkhouse' in Clifton, Queensland. The work also included production of a book featuring building concept plans and urban designs for a creative suburb made up entirely of homeworkhouses especially designed for creative work, as well as a short video explaining the prototype building.

On an ongoing construction, during six years, since the elaboration of the project of the investigation till the conclusion of the thesis, established by the requirements of the doctorate course, I had been delineating the outlines of the object of study, circumscribed by the smiles of the poor young peoples that inhabit the suburban areas. The investigative focus, consubstantiated here in the structural process of this expositive text, falls upon the comprehensive disclosure of the senses and meanings of the smiles of poor young people that face processes of social exclusion and precarious social inclusions, within the present capitalist civilization, by the best tradition of the Sociology of the Absences and the Sociology of the Emergencies. This is an analytical work, done by the trails and routes configured by the contemporary thinkers, such as the basic references: Zygmunt Bauman, Michel Maffesoli, Boaventura de Sousa Santos and the analysts from the area of studies of young people by the ways of contemporary times, in XXI Century. This work is structured in five parts, following the expositive dynamics that I defined as the most fruitful in order to present thought, analysis, questions constructed by the circuits of the investigation, which are shown here: the approach of the introduction which I entitled: âPresenting the scientific work: as if it were an introductionâ; Chapter I named âWays and routes:the methodology and its processual constructionâ; Chapter II that deals with âThe smile of young peoples like an investigative phenomenon: conceptual marks and analytic perspectiveâ; Chapter III that consubstantiates the basis of the structure of the work with the title: âYoung peoples in contemporary times: delineating ways of analysisâ; Chapter IV that incorporates the discoveries and questions weaved by the texture of the theory/empiric aspects, named âSmiles of the young peoples in the suburban areas: the practice of the Sociology of the Absences and the Sociology of the Emergenciesâ; at last, I present conclusions to incorporate ways of the study that I entitled: âPlaces of arrival to glimpse new trips: as title of conclusionâ

This thesis addresses how Japanese university-educated mothers in a suburban context make the most of their lives. The chief focus is a group of women who have chosen not to pursue a career outside the home. The expansion of numbers of university-educated women in post-war Japan has not made a great impact on the pattern of women's labour force participation as a whole. The majority of university graduate women enter employment immediately after graduation, but once they leave the workplace, especially on child-birth, they tend not to return to work afterwards, while women from a lower educational background are more likely to do so after their children grow up. I attempt to show how women's and mothers' multiple roles in both the public and the domestic spheres, are related to an exclusion of university-educated mothers from working outside the home. Firstly, university-educated women have received contradictory messages from society. Although university education is regarded as a key to access a privileged social position and professional success, educators have not necessarily encouraged female students to pursue a long-term career. Rather, for women, they have stressed developing their 'special talent', i.e. motherhood. Moreover, the field of employment has not been in favour of hiring university graduate women. In many Japanese firms, university graduate men are placed on a managerial track and women are automatically classified in a group of assistant workers. University graduate women who pursue a managerial career are therefore in an anomalous position. Secondly, mothers are treated in the same way in society irrespective of educational attainments. University-educated mothers have less interest in working outside again, because they well know the fact that almost all the paid work available to mothers is so-called 'housewife's part-time work', which does not require any special skills or abilities. In addition, socialisation of compliant mothers is one of the main aims of community activities organised by local government. Nevertheless, it cannot be said that university-educated mothers in contemporary Japan are simply tied down to mothering duties at home. As the term 'professional housewife' shows, Japanese housewives were granted relatively high status as a manager of the household in the domestic sphere. However, university-educated mothers are not attracted to the status of 'perfect' housewife any more. Rather, they are expanding their field of activities into a public sphere named 'community society' through mothers' networks. They want to have something more meaningful to help them feel fulfilled than being simply engaged in mothering or unskilled labour. In the community, they take part in various activities, e.g. a mother-child group to change the world around them in a better way for children; or in a study group to broaden their horizons. Instead of full-time economic activities, they are seeking for alternative means for self development in the public sphere.

Aquesta tesis proposa una aproximació a la dinàmica del mode de producció de l'espai sota la geografia del capital. A partir de la recerca concreta de l'expropiació i destrucció d'una barriada obrera, la Colònia Castells de Barcelona, s'aborda l'estudi de l'expropiació genèrica de l'anomenada ciutat popular. La producció capitalista de la ciutat opera cíclica i espasmòdicament a partir de l'atracció, disciplinament i subjecció d'una mà d'obra, que en el seu esdevenir històric es veu atreta, explotada i exprimida, fins a que resulta disfuncional pel mode d'acumulació. En aquell moment, aquesta força de treball es expulsada -directa i indirectament-, dels espais de centralitat cap a les perifèries. El procés, no obstant, no resulta exempt de contradiccions, resistències i conflictes. El mode de producció colisiona constatment amb el mode d'apropiació de la ciutat per part dels habitants de rendes més baixes, que, en la recreació pràctica i quotidiana de les seves formes de vida creen barris populars, entorns geogràfics apropiats per a la convivència, el suport mutu i la pròpia supervivència. El cas d'expropiació i destrucció d'una barriada com la Colònia Castells, amb tota la seva complexitat i més enllà de la desparició material, suposa un exemple de desarticulació comunitària, de descomposició sistemàtica de classe, per impedir qualsevol indici de resistència per part de les classes populars al mode d'acumulació capitalista.This PhD thesis aims at challenging spatial production dynamics currently expanding in cities subject to the geography of capital. Through a detailed analysis of the expropriation and destruction processes of a specific working-class neighbourhood, Còlonia Castells in Barcelona, this thesis tackles the study of the the general expropriation of the so-called popular city. The capitalist production of the city cyclically and wildly acts by drawing, disciplining and restraining labour. Hence, labour-class is historically exploited and abused until it turns to be dysfunctional for the accumulation process itself. Eventually, it is directly or indirectly evicted from central spaces and casted away to the periphery. However, this process is not without contradictions, resistances and conflicts. The capitalist mode of production constantly clashes with spatial appropriation practices carried out in the city by lower-income inhabitants, who strive to survive in theirs working-class neighborhoods making up both a physical and social space at a more human scale day by day. The specific case of expropriation and destruction of Colònia Castells, in all of its complexity and despite its material disappearing, clearly shows that the breakdown of its working class-based social and spatial organization has had a key role in preventing its inhabitants from resisting the process of capital accumulation.

Life with Birds is an investigation of the disjunction between public and private experiences of the Vietnam war and its aftermath. The creative non-fiction component of the thesis juxtaposes historical documents with family stories, photographs and memories in order to situate military history in the home and disrupt the binaries around dominant war tropes, such as the heroic/traumatic binary. It focuses on the everyday, the small scale and the ordinary as worthy of historical and cultural attention and aims to redress the silences and erasures in bureaucracies, archives and within families by reimagining or repopulating them with found materials, a combination of information, observation and guesswork. This lyric methodology was developed using concepts of Toni Morrison’s ‘literary archaeology’, Marianne Hirsch’s ‘postmemory’ and Hélène Cixous’ l’écriture féminine, as well as Claudia Rankine’s deployment of the lyric form in Citizen.
The exegesis examines writings and discourses around war in Australia that erase the experiences and legacy of certain war veterans and their families, including mine. In it I discuss the disconnect between national mythologisation and commemoration of Anzac and Vietnam veterans and the lived experiences of veteran families, such as impacts of war trauma, bureaucratic intransigence and veteran health and suicide. This thesis highlights the ongoing negotiations between public and private lives in an attempt to broaden the conversation around the invisible or erased impacts of war in Australia, particularly for women and the children of war veterans.

This research explains and describes Drama teachers’ lived experience of teaching Drama in contemporary schools. The case study method generates ‘rich descriptions’ of four Drama teachers’ lived experience set in the contexts of their schools. This is framed within a critical paradigm that suggests there is a politics that informs what can be learned in Drama and how it should be taught. Drama teachers’ work is influenced by those discourses concerned with control and cultural reproduction constituted within power relations. This research employs three landscapes to describe and explain the Drama teachers’ lived experience within the powerful constraints in schools. Critical discourse analysis was used to reveal how Drama teachers confront, contest, accept and/or resist these powerful spaces that many believe influence their work and shape their professional identity.
Some of the findings and literature reveal that Drama teachers believe Drama offers something unique in school and often use it as a vehicle to raise awareness about social and cultural conditions that they believed were left unexplored in school. Although Drama teachers see the subject of Drama providing alternative pathways for their students, they are constrained by dominant assessment systems that fail to recognise the embodied learning experiences of students. Three core themes emerged as central to the Drama teachers’ lived experience. These include - 1) performative cultures are powerful in shaping how Drama teachers know their work, students, and schools, 2) negotiating professional identities are complexly constructed, and 3) Drama is often understood as a unique and transformative subject for students but its potential can be constrained in schools.

The issue of how selected public policies of the NSW Government impacted on the everyday lives of women in Western Sydney during the period 1974-1984 is examined here in terms of class and gender inequalities. Using data from official departmental reports and the empirical investigation of public expenditure on community services, the thesis demonstrates that most often public policies maintained the inequalities of women living in suburban Western Sydney. The sexual division of labour was central to public policies and maintained women as dependent mothers, wives and low paid workers. The home and the local neighbourhood were seen as the 'natural' location of suburban women. Further, the analysis indicates how the dominance of community- as-localit y in urban and social policies obscured the class, gender and racial/ethn ic divisions of suburban women. In contrast, a few 'community ' policies and services provided evidence of the possibilities for public policies to redistribute services explicitly to working class women and not to inevitably support existing inequalities.
In conclusion, it is argued that the concept of community-as -locality needs to be reconsidered and reconstructe d and a range of housing and social policies developed that redistribute resources in favour of women and their families living in working class suburbs.

This work is a reflection about autobiographization and outh formation on the outskirts of Fortaleza (CE). The research aims to analyse and reflect on self production (auto) formative processes lived by youth groups and it is about the personal and collective life production in the context of the suburbs. Therefore, it comes from the sociospatial context where live the young people, co-researchers of this work, dealing with the youth condition, and showing the contemporaneous social imaginary and the popular youth field, highlighting the social signification around these segments in the world today. These reflections rely on studies of Henri Lefebvre, Josà de Souza Martins, Ana Fani Carlos, J. Habermas, Hannah Arendt, Karl Mannheim, Pierre Bourdieu, Giusepper Cocco, Machado Pais, Juarez Dayrell, Antonio Negri, among others. The work is a result of a qualitative research on epistemological base in education field, with groundwork in theoretical-methodological elements of the research-action and of the biographization, activating a device of autobiographical research, created by the author, named of âyouth museumâ: construction and movement. Three instruments of this device are used to produce and analyse the research data: the âself-telling storiesâ, â the bright scenesâ, and the âfuture-projectâ. The work starts with the life stories of young people components of artistic-cultural groups that act in Pici, place of the research: âBando Oco do Mundoâ, âMaria das Vassourasâ, âSoltando a Vozâ, âColetivo Muquifo de Teatroâ, âSubvercineâ, âGrafiticidadeâ, âCasa da MÃe Joanaâ and the âEscutaâ NGO. All these groups are organized around the âColetivo de Culturas Juvenisâ (CCJ â Fortaleza), articulation that joins the mentioned groups and has the technical and political support of Diaconia NGO, institution also component of the research. Authors as Jorge Larossa, Michel Foucault, Delory-Momberger, Christine Josso, Jacques Ardoino, Martin-Barbero, Jean Piaget, Edgar Morin, Maria Sposito, among others, were essential to this part of the research. The youth (auto) formative processes in the suburbs are also analysed from âbright scenesâ, scenic resource used to come to surface dimensions of the youth lived, facilitating reflections of the aspects of the subjectivity of the subjects where the body is considered biographical material. The bright scenes favored a youth condition approach with gender cutting. The construct used in the data production culminates with the construction of the future-projects, instrument from which the subjects build actions that points to a continuity of their (auto) formation, considering the concept of formability. It intends that the research findings contribute to think the formation processes in the formal, non-formal and informal field in the suburbs in the education area. it can also be useful as corpus of knowledge to the youth sociology.

Dentro de las ciencias sociales se produjeron importantes avances respecto al conocimiento de las formas culturales de la crianza y la educación infantil. Sin embargo, en el sentido común y también en parte del discurso académico, persisten importantes reduccionismos que no hacen más que retomar solo algunos aspectos del cuidado infantil. En el siguiente artículo nos proponemos analizar los procesos y las relaciones que atraviesan las iniciativas ligadas con el cuidado y la educación infantil en contextos marcados por la desigualdad. Para ello nos basamos en los registros de tipo etnográfico que realizamos en barrios populares del Gran Buenos Aires, Argentina. Como daremos cuenta con el análisis, las iniciativas ligadas con la socialización y educación de los chicos que viven en las barriadas populares se definen en tramas de intervención a cargo de actores sociales que incluyen y rebasan a las instituciones esperables para ello. nos referimos a actores que definimos como «sociales» y «políticos» en tanto producen significados sobre la educación en vinculación con distintas dimensiones de la vida social y en el marco de relaciones sociales atravesadas por el poder.Important advances have been made in the social sciences with respect to our understanding of cultural variation in forms of childrearing and education. However, common sense and certain academic discourses are persistently reductionist in taking only some aspects of childhood into consideration. In this article I analyze the processes and relations that surround activities related to childcare and education in contexts of marked social inequality. The analysis is based on ethnographic fieldwork in popular neighbourhoods of Greater Buenos Aires, Argentina. I demonstrate how the socialization and education of children living in poor neighbourhoods are embedded in networks of intervention that depend on diverse social actors that include but also exceed the bounds of the institutions that might be expected to relate to this sector. These actors, discussed as «social» and «political,» produce meanings that refer to education in its connections to different dimensions of social life, in a framework of social relations that are shot through with power.

There are many good reasons to ponder about what it is that makes life worth living. To observe and reflect on what it is that gives a person a good quality of life is arguably the essential core of social-work. The aim of this research was to investigate how 15-year old youths interpret quality of life. The key areas that we explored in order to meet the research aims were: what did the youths interpret as a good quality of life for a 15-year old and for an adult, how did they view their own quality of life, and did they think that the regional context (i.e. if one lives in a big city or in a small town) affects how one interpret quality of life.
The studywas based on interviews with four boys and four girls. Half of the respondents lived in a suburb of Stockholm and the other half lived in a small country town. A qualitative method was used to interview the respondents individually. The results were analysed by using Brülde´s theories on quality of life. The results show that to a large extent the youths in both areas shared each others values – a loving and supportive family was deemed to be the most important factor for a good quality of life, followed by friendships and recreational-time for young people and job satisfaction for adults. However, the two groups differed in two ways.
The suburban youths declared that they experienced a lot of school-stress which the small-town youths did not experience. Also, the Stockholm respondents identified several aspects that could make their lives better. In the contrast none of the small town respondents could identify ways to improve their lives. Explanations for these differing responses are explored in the study.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorCom o objetivo de investigar as relações da comunicação com o espaço urbano, a presente dissertação se debruça sobre o bairro de Marechal Hermes, localizado na zona norte do Rio de Janeiro. Parte da abordagem da história cultural para refletir sobre as cidades, como propõe Sandra Pesavento, buscando perceber a urbe em suas três dimensões: materialidade, sociabilidade e sensibilidade. O primeiro aspecto atribui relevância ao fato de Marechal Hermes ser um bairro centenário, com uma morfologia singular boa parte do seu traçado e arquitetura originais são ainda mantidos, a despeito das interferências dos usuários. Assim, o bairro acumula diferentes registros, guardando uma memória de múltiplas temporalidades e possibilidades narrativas. A sociabilidade no bairro se manifesta nas práticas de ocupação do espaço e numa convivência cotidiana que se estabelece em relações diretas laços familiares, de amizade, vizinhança mas também em interações que se dão pelas redes de tecnologia e comunicação. Há uma tessitura de vozes consonantes e dissonantes, que não excluem divergências e tensões, mas focalizam sempre o sentido do comum. Tais redes de relações se complementam com as imagens construídas pelo cinema e pela TV, uma vez que o bairro tem sido cenário frequente de inúmeras produções da indústria audiovisual, como filmes, novelas e seriados. Veiculadas na grande mídia e consumidas de maneira peculiar pelos moradores, essas imagens se integram a um imaginário partilhado que legitima o valor do lugar distinguindo sua materialidade e seu espírito. Com um olhar de dentro, buscando sempre a perspectiva dos moradores, manifesta-se neste trabalho passado e presente, num instantâneo de Marechal Hermes que perscruta o futuro em novos sonhos para o lugar

The Progressive Era affected the South in different ways from other regions of the United States. Because Southern society was more entrenched in patriarchy and traditional social strictures, Nashville provides an excellent lens in which to assess the vision of a New South city. Known as “Athens of the South,” Nashville legitimized this title with the emergence of several colleges and universities of regional and national prominence in the 1880s and 1890s. In the first two decades of the twentieth century, Nashville’s universities solidified their status as reputable institutions, with Vanderbilt and Fisk Universities garnering national prominence. Within Nashville, local colleges, including Ward Belmont College, David Lipscomb University, Peabody College, Roger Williams University, and Meharry Medical College shaped and were shaped by the growing city. Higher education and urbanization created a dialectic that produced a new generation and a new monied class of young adults who thought and acted differently from their parents. Moreover, women became more active participants in public spheres because of opportunities provided by higher education. In most cases, Nashville’s women continued to use their husband’s prominence to earn greater success. In regard to race, the city’s African American colleges helped to produce men and women who formed the backbone of the rising black middle class and elite in the South. Nashville endured great change, formally beginning with the 1897 Tennessee Centennial Exposition, whereby the city’s trajectory followed a more modern approach, albeit southern style. Higher education played a large role in the direction of the city, both literally and figuratively. Shifts in attitude toward race, gender, and leisure combined to create a new youth culture. Young women and men socialized on and off campus through a variety of new forms of recreation. The experience of “college life” was more than attending classes but rather a fluid phase beginning with youthfulness and ending with adulthood. Social interaction increasingly became a major component of college life; the city of Nashville simply provided the stage. By U.S. entrance into World War I, Nashville had legitimized its position as a Southern urban center of entertainment and higher education.

Bunda bunya miumba (Thundering kangaroos): dancing up a storm -- Welcome to Country: talkin' the talk -- Messing with ceremony -- 'Ethnogenesis' and the emergence of 'darug custodians' -- Conclusion.
The thesis concerns an Aboriginal community, members of which inhabit the western suburbs of Sydney at the beginning of the twenty-first century. This particular group of people has emerged as a cultural group over the last twenty-five years. In other words, the community did not exist before the advent of Aboriginal land rights in Australia. It might be right to suggest that without land rights, native title and state celebrations and inclusions of Aboriginal peoples as multicufturalism, this particular urban community would not and could not exist at all. That, however, would be a simplistic analysis of a complex phenomenon. Land rights and native title provide the beginning of this story. It becomes much more interesting when the people concerned take it up themselves. -- The main foci in the thesis are the cultural forms that this particular community overtly and intentionally produce as articulations of their identity, namely public speaking, dancing, painting and ceremony. I argue that it is only through these yery deliberate collective practices of identity-making that community identity can be produced. This is because the place that the group claims as its own - Sydney - is always already inhabited by 'us' (the dominant society). Analysis of these cultural forms reveals that even if the existence of the group depends on land rights and, attempts to attract the ultimate 'authenticity' bestowed by native title, members of this group are not conforming to native title rules pertinent to what constitutes 'genuine' 'Aboriginality' for the purposes of winning land claims. Their revived traditions are pot what the state prescribes as representative of 'authentic' urban Aboriginal culture. -- The thesis analyses the ways in which urban Aboriginal peoples are makipg themselves in the era and context of native title. It considers the consequences of being themselves.

I denna studie undersöker vi vilka vardagliga upplevelser och erfarenheter invandrarungdomar från två ungdomsverksamheter i förorten har av rasism. Till detta har vi fokuserat på två huvudområden, dels hur vardagsrasismen kommer till uttryck i ungdomarnas liv, och hur man kan förstå deras erfarenheter utifrån begreppen ''den Andre'' och stereotypisering, och dels hur ungdomarna hanterar deras upplevelser. För att undersöka detta har en kvalitativ forskningsansats använts där sju semistrukturerade intervjuer har gjorts med invandrarungdomar från förorten. Vårt metateoretiska perspektiv har varit socialkonstruktionism, med postkolonialism som huvudsaklig teoretisk utgångspunkt. Vidare har vi specifikt använt oss av de teoretiska begreppen ''den Andre'' och stereotypisering, vilka används för att analysera och förstå materialet. Materialet har i sin tur kodats, tematiserats, kategoriserats, och analyserats utifrån ovannämnda teoretiska perspektiv. I analysen har vi kommit fram till att den rasbiologiska historien tillsammans med koloniala värderingar aktualiseras och än idag präglar invandrarungdomar ifrån förortens vardag på ett påtagligt sätt. Detta kommer främst till uttryck genom en upplevd annorlundahet och ojämlikhet mellan dem som är rasifierade och de som anses som norm i samhället. Det i sin tur gestaltades genom två olika former, dels genom en upplevelse av att bemötas som ''den Andre'', och dels genom att bedömas utifrån stereotypa föreställningar. Dessa former aktualiserades delvis genom raslärans kvarlevor, där slaven och djuren blev tydligt framträdande, och även genom en stereotypisering utifrån attributen skägget, sjalen, och platsen förorten, vilka i sin tur resulterat i att ungdomarna betraktats som bl.a. självmordsbombare, terrorister och gangsters. Vidare visar resultaten att sättet att hantera rasismen på var av varierande slag, men vi fann tre övergripande strategier: att försöka söka sig till och vistas inom trygga områden, att hålla sig borta från rasismen på olika sätt (undvika, bortförhandla, anpassning), samt att göra motstånd via gruppverksamheter. Slutligen problematiseras och diskuteras hur invandrarungdomarnas erfarenheter av rasism direkt eller indirekt kan leda till social utstötning och skapa en förstärkt exkludering, samt det sociala arbetets betydelsefullhet.In this study, we examine the everyday experiences immigrant youths from two youth activities in the suburb have about racism. To do this, we focused on two main areas, first how everyday racism inherent in young people's lives, and secondly how they deal with their experiences of racism. To be able to examine their experience have we done a qualitative research approach used by semi-structured interviews on seven young immigrants from the suburb. Our meta-theoretical perspective has been social-constructionism, with post-colonialism as the main theoretical basis. According to this we use the concepts ''the Other'' and stereotyping, which are applied to the material. The material has been encoded, thematized, categorized and analyzed on the basis of the above theoretical perspectives. Concluding remarks is that the racial story along with colonial values today characterize and affects the life of the young people living in the suburbs in a tangible way. This is mainly expressed through a perceived differentness and inequality between those who are racialized and those which are considered as the norm in society. That was depicted through two different forms, first through an experience of being categorized as '' the other '' and secondly by judged by stereotypes. These forms was actualized by the remains of the racial-doctrine, where the slave, and the animals were clearly visible, and also by a stereotyping by attributes like the beard, shawl, and the place suburb, which the result show that resulted in that young people is being regarded as eg suicide bombers, terrorists, and gangsters. Moreover, the results also show that the way to deal with racism was varied, but we have been able to categorize them in three main strategies: to try stay in safe areas, to stay away from racism in different ways (avoiding, removing, negotiating, adaptation), and to resist through group activities. Finally, we problemized and discusses how the immigrant youth experiences of racism directly or indirectly leads to social exclusion.

This paper discusses music education in non-formal spaces of education and how these spaces contribute to the musical education on the outskirts of Fortaleza. The project aims the understanding of the importance of music courses held by the Project Jardim de Gente (Garden of People) through the students’ perspective. The project is developed in the neighborhood of Bom Jardim, the premises of the Bom Jardim Cultural Center. The main theoretical framework of the research is based on Bourdieu, with his studies on power games and social classes; Certeau, with his research on everyday life; and Koellreutter, with its proposal for Music Education. As a methodological approach, a case study in the course of Joint Practice was made. Ten students who participated in the course in the period 2010 to 2013 were chosen and interviewed. In addition to this, course planning and the Pedagogical Political Project of Garden of People (Projeto Político Pedagógico do Jardim de Gente) were used as sources of evidence, the latter was developed collectively with the participation of the community, students, teachers and coordination of the Project. Thus, the Practice course comes as perceptions of space changes with respect to musical practice and also in relation to daily students activities. According to the results, the project appears as a democratization of musical knowledge, reinventing the daily lives of its attendees.
O presente trabalho aborda a educação musical em espaços não formais de ensino e como esses espaços contribuem para a educação musical na periferia de Fortaleza. A pesquisa tem como objetivo compreender, sob a perspectiva dos estudantes, a importância dos cursos de Música realizados pelo Projeto Jardim de Gente. O Projeto é desenvolvido no Bairro Bom Jardim, nas instalações do Centro Cultural Bom Jardim. O referencial teórico principal da pesquisa está baseado em Bourdieu, com seus estudos sobre jogos de poder e classes sociais; Certeau, com sua pesquisa sobre cotidiano; e Koellreutter, com sua proposta de Educação Musical. Como abordagem metodológica, foi realizado um estudo de caso no curso de Prática de Conjunto. Foram escolhidos e entrevistados dez estudantes que participaram do curso no período de 2010 a 2013. Além dos relatos dos dez estudantes, foram utilizados como fontes de evidências os planejamentos do curso e também o Projeto Político Pedagógico do Jardim de Gente, este último desenvolvido de maneira coletiva com participação da comunidade, estudantes, professores e coordenação do Projeto. Assim, o curso de Prática de Conjunto assume o papel de um espaço de mudanças de percepções com relação à prática musical e também com relação às atividades cotidianas dos estudantes. De acordo com os resultados, o Projeto surge como um espaço de democratização do saber musical, reinventando o cotidiano de seus frequentadores.

Syftet med denna studie är att analysera spoken word texter för att undersöka vardagsproblem i dagens svenska förorter och vetenskapliggöra de sociala kontexterna till de olika vardagsverkligheterna som beskrivs i texterna. Vidare syfte är även att se vilken betydelse poesi och spoken word kan ha för människor i utsatta områden, samt på vilket sätt kan spoken word öka dessa människors känslor av delaktighet och erkännande. För att uppnå syfte har det genomförts narrativ metod för tolkandet av sju spoken word texter. Vid tolkning av texterna har det använts en intersektionell analys. Även en intervju har genomförts för att få djupare förståelse för studiens bakgrund. Analysen av empirin kommer att ha sin teoretiska utgångspunkt i begreppet vardagsverklighet och de olika strukturerna som formar ramarna till de olika vardagsverkligheterna. Mikropolitiska aktiviteter kommer även att analyseras som ett sätt att göra motstånd i det vardagliga livet, och för att förstå motstånd i relation till makt så har denna studie utgått ifrån Foucaults maktperspektiv. Resultatet visar att poeternas vardagsverkligheter präglas av postkoloniala samhällsstrukturer och att de jämnt bemöter fördomar från det övriga samhället. Intersektionell analys på maktstrukturer blir användbar då det visar sig att tjejerna inte känner sig hörda och sedda i förort som för killar symboliserar trygghet. Spoken word ökar inte bara självreflektion och känslan av empowerment men kan även bli ett sätt att göra motstånd mot dessa strukturer och visa en motbild till den bilden av förorter som resten av samhället har.

La gestion intégrée de l'eau à l'échelle des grandes villes est un réel défi. Cependant, la quantification des flux et des impacts environnementaux liés à l'utilisation de l'eau n'est pas encore suffisamment développée. Dans ce contexte, la question de recherche de la thèse est: "comment modéliser le système d'eau urbain complexe d'une mégapole pour l'évaluation de ses impacts sur l'environnement et des services fournis aux usagers de l'eau, dans le cadre de l'analyse du cycle de vie (ACV)?" Le cœur de la thèse est le développement d'un cadre général définissant les flux d'eau et les impacts environnementaux associés aux trois composants principaux du système d'eau urbain, à savoir, les technologies de l'eau, les usagers de l'eau et les ressources en eau. Le modèle proposé de système d'eau urbain (nommé WaLA) se construit à travers une approche modulaire permettant l'interopérabilité des trois composants. Le modèle fournit des indicateurs d'impacts et de services rendus qui peuvent être utiles aux décideurs et aux parties prenantes. Il simplifie l'évaluation des scénarios et diminue la complexité du système tout en assurant sa bonne représentation du point de vue de l'ACV. En plus de cet objectif principal, la thèse vise à raffiner les indicateurs d'impact sur la privation d'eau afin qu'ils soient pertinents pour les systèmes d'eau urbains. Une méthode qui permet d'évaluer la privation d'eau à l'échelle du sous bassin versant en intégrant les effets en aval a ainsi été développée. Cette méthode permet de différencier les impacts selon les points de prélèvements et de rejets dans un même bassin versant. Enfin, le modèle WaLA et les indicateurs associés sont mis en œuvre pour évaluer les impacts environnementaux du système d'eau urbain de la banlieue parisienne (périmètre du Syndicat des Eaux d'Ile-de-France). L'intérêt et l'applicabilité du modèle pour évaluer et comparer des scénarios actuels et prévisionnels sont ainsi démontrésTo improve water management at the scale of large cities is a real challenge. However, the quantification of flows and environmental impacts linked to water use are not yet sufficiently developed. This is the objective of the thesis: “how to model complex urban water system of a megacity for assessing its environmental impacts in relation to the provided services to water users, within the life cycle assessment (LCA) framework?” The core of the thesis is the development of a generic framework defining water flows and environmental impacts associated with 3 categories of items – i.e., water technologies, water users and water resources – from a LCA point of view. The UWS model (termed WaLA) is built through a modular approach allowing the interoperation of these three components in an integrated way. The model provides indicators of impacts on services which may be useful to decision makers and stakeholders. It simplifies the evaluation of forecasting scenarios and decreases the complexity of the urban water system while ensuring its good representation from a LCA perspective. In addition to this main objective, the thesis also aims at refining water use impact indicators at a relevant scale for UWS. A methodology that assesses water deprivation at the sub-river basin scale in life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) integrating downstream cascade effects has been developed. It allows differentiating the withdrawal and release locations within a same river basin. The WaLA model and its associated indicators are applied to assess the environmental impacts of the water system of a Paris suburban area (perimeter of Syndicat des Eaux d'Île-de-France). It shows the interest and the applicability of the model for assessing and comparing baseline and forecasting scenarios

O presente trabalho é um estudo sobre a configuração do espaço penhense a partir, sobretudo, da consideração de práticas sociais que marcaram a história dessa porção da cidade de São Paulo. O entendimento desta problemática passa pela análise das continuidades e descontinuidades históricas e das relações de vizinhança, enquanto referência de vida de bairro, que deram à Penha certa originalidade em relação aos demais bairros de São Paulo. O período abrangido no estudo se estende desde a formação do patrimônio religioso e o estabelecimento da freguesia de Nossa Senhora da Penha, até a metropolização, momento de grande ruptura marcada pelo fim da vida de bairro na localidade. O estudo destaca três momentos: a constituição da Penha enquanto bairro rural; a constituição da Penha enquanto subúrbio; e a constituição da Penha enquanto bairro da cidade de São Paulo. A compreensão das transformações espaciais na Penha e de todo o conjunto acima descrito só é possível se realizam se tivermos em mente a cidade e seus processos (industrialização e urbanização) enquanto instauradores do modo de vida urbano. Com isso acreditamos também estar contribuindo para a compreensão do desenvolvimento urbano da cidade de São Paulo.The present work is a study about the configuration of the penhense space from, over all, the consideration of social practices that marked the history of this portion of the São Paulo city. The agreement of this problematic pass through analysis of the historical continuities and discontinuities and the neighborhood relations, while reference of neighborhood life, that had given to Penha some originality in relation to others neighborhood of São Paulo. The period enclosed on the study extends since the formation of the religious patrimony, establishment of the Nossa Senhora da Penha parish, until the metropolization, moment of large rupture marked for the end of the neighborhood life in the locality. The study point out three moments: the constitution of Penha while rural neighborhood; the constitution of Penha while suburb; and the constitution of Penha while neighborhood of the São Paulo city. The comprehension of the space transformations on the neighborhood of Penha and all set described above have only accomplished if we have in mind the city and its processes (industrialization and urbanization) while founders of the urban way of living. With this we also believe to be contributing for the understanding of the urban development of the city of São Paulo.

Avide, Elise. "La fabrique des "gares du quotidien" : imaginaires et fonctions symboliques d'une nouvelle catégorie du Grand Paris." Thesis, Paris Est, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018PESC1006/document.

Depuis le début des années 2010, le terme de « quotidien » remplace celui de « banlieue » dans certains discours politiques pour désigner les gares ferroviaires de proximité en Île-de-France. Contrairement aux « quartiers sensibles » ou aux « agglomérations », cette expression des « gares du quotidien » se présente a priori bien plus comme un nouvel élément de langage dans l’air du temps que comme une catégorie politique ou administrative installée. Néanmoins, celle-ci apparaît dans le débat public à un moment particulier, en creux du projet de Grand Paris Express, comme précipitée par un certain nombre d’acteurs aux stratégies et idéaux a priori convergents, et s’accompagne d’une vague de travaux assez inédite dans les gares de ces réseaux. De plus, le « quotidien » ne saurait renvoyer aux mêmes images ni aux mêmes valeurs que la « banlieue ». En cela, cette substitution ne saurait être fortuite. À partir d'une analyse des représentations véhiculées par différentes formes de récits d’acteurs d’une part, et d’une exploration des gares et des projets dont elles font l’objet dans le territoire de la Seine Aval d’autre part, cette thèse entend dévoiler les ruptures qui autorisent l’émergence des « gares du quotidien » comme nouvelle catégorie du Grand Paris, les significations qui la traversent, et les transformations auxquelles elle engage. Son ambition est ainsi de discuter plus largement les fonctions imaginaires de la catégorisation dans la fabrique des espaces urbains. Ce faisant, ce travail propose une relecture de l’histoire contemporaine de l’aménagement francilien à travers la lentille du « quotidien », et révèle sous cet angle certains basculements dans le rapport des acteurs du transport et de l’urbanisme à la « banlieue » et à ses habitants, mais aussi dans les segmentations professionnelles et les rapports de force en présenceThe beginning of the years 2010s saw a terminological shift within political discourses: railway stations in the Île-de-France region, previously designated as ‘suburban stations’, increasingly became known as ‘everyday life stations’. Unlike other trending expressions such as ‘sensitive neighbourhoods’ or ‘agglomerations’, this expression does not relate to a well-identified political or administrative category. Nonetheless, it appears in public debate at a peculiar moment, in the context of the Greater Paris (Grand Paris) project, as if it were precipitated by a wide array of actors sharing conveying ideals and strategies. It is also accompanied by important work in the stations of these networks. As a result, this substitution cannot be incidental, and the term ‘everyday life’ indeed refers to imaginaries that differ substantially from the previously used adjective – ‘suburban’. By analysing the representations conveyed by different forms of stakeholders’ narratives, and by exploring stations and the urban projects they are part of in the Seine Aval territory, this dissertation seeks to unravel the fractures and discontinuities that allow for the emergence of ‘everyday life stations’ as a new category of the Greater Paris, its interweaving meanings, and the way in which it renews the materiality of spaces. Its ambition is thus to discuss more broadly the imaginary functions of categorisation in urban fabric. In doing so, the work offers a new reading grid for the contemporary history of planning in the Île-de-France region. By looking through the lens of ‘everyday life’, it uncovers a number of shifts in the relationships between actors in the transportation and urban planning sectors, with suburban areas and their inhabitants. This approach is also insightful for the assessment of professional segmentations and power relations at work

Dans une région francilienne en mutation (nouveau schéma de planification, construction du Grand Paris, recomposition intercommunale), la grande couronne et ses habitants ne semblent toujours pas faire l’objet d’une attention particulière. Cette thèse propose d’aller au-delà des discours convenus sur les modes de vie ayant cours sur ces territoires qui, derrière la généralisation du terme de grande couronne, révèlent une complexité invitant à dépasser les clichés auxquels ils sont souvent réduits (le pavillon, la voiture, le jardin).Plutôt que de s’appuyer sur des périmètres déjà établis pour considérer les pratiques et représentations des habitants, il s’agit de réfléchir, à l’inverse, aux modalités de territorialisation de leurs modes de vie, c'est-à-dire de comprendre quels ressorts spécifiques mobilisent ceux-ci pour élaborer un mode de vie le plus conforme possible à leurs besoins et aspirations face à des ressources et caractéristiques territoriales données et quels territoires de vie se donnent alors à voir. Les habitants dont il est ici question sont ceux du Centre Essonne-Seine-Orge, le territoire d’études de l’Agence d’urbanisme et de développement Essonne-Seine-Orge, au sein de laquelle a été réalisée cette thèse en CIFRE. En nous intéressant de plus près à leur consommation, prise comme partie offrant une compréhension de tout le mode de vie, nous mettrons à l’épreuve un filtre de lecture bien souvent employé à propos des habitants de grande couronne, celui de la contrainte. Au contraire, loin d'être des individus passifs, condamnés à subir les défauts d'un territoire démuni ou mal muni, les habitants du CESO s'affirment au contraire comme des individus agiles face à leurs environs. Mieux encore, ils ne sont pas seulement des habitants qui parviendraient à échapper aux contraintes liées à leurs caractéristiques propres ou celles de leur territoire. L’enquête du terrain permet de proposer une figure hypothétique : celle d'habitants, peut-être plus malins qu'ailleurs parce qu'encouragés, par ces contraintes imaginées ou réelles, à mettre en place d'autres solutions, à recourir à d'autres compétences, à développer d'autres connaissances pour construire des modes de vie se déployant dans des lieux spécifiques davantage conformes à leurs besoins et envies propresDespite the major changes occurring in the Île-de-France region (a renewed planning scheme, Grand Paris project, new territorial division), the outer suburbs and their inhabitants still do not raise a particular interest from the public authorities. Their lifestyle would confirm upheld stereotypes about this part of the region, as characterized by residents occupying a detached house, a closed garden and owning a personal car. This thesis aims at exploring the complexity hidden beyond the all-embracing designation of “outer suburbs”. Many research studies focus on this kind of territory but examine pre-defined perimeters as a starting-point to understand social practices. On the contrary, this thesis considers observing the way of life is fertile, even more from the point of view of those who directly experience it, meaning the inhabitants. In contrast, this thesis considers observing the inhabitants’ way of life, therefore considering the point of view of those who directly experience the territory, offers a much richer material. Instead of starting from institutional or statistical perimeters to analyze practices and representations, we will try to understand how inhabitants build the spatial translations of their needs and wishes, considering the specific available resources around them, and then analyze these newly-defined areas. We will explore the specific process they undertake and the spatial results of these process. The inhabitants we investigated live in a specific area called Centre Essonne-Seine-Orge, where this thesis was carried out with the Agence d’urbanisme et de développement Essonne-Seine-Orge. This thesis more particularly deals with consumer practices, images that are associated to them and the specific areas people reach to shop. This outlook is metonymical: we investigate one part of their ways of life to understand it as a whole. Limitation and constraint are frequently used as an interpretative framework to analyze the ways of life of inhabitants of outer suburbs. They are thought to live “sub”-ways of life, to deal with territorial flaws. During our inquiry, we did not encounter any of the submissive and frustrated characters we had anticipated. The inhabitants are, on the contrary, able to find their own ways of escaping from the clichés, twisting the expected uses of their territory and developing the new skills and knowledge needed to build a way of life that allows them to reach a satisfying existential balance

Mitt syfte med projektet är att vitalisera stadsdelen Husby i nordvästra Stockholm. Bryta upp zonerade områden och addera fler och varierade funktioner som definierar nya stråk, länka samman omtyckta områden och överbrygga platser som upplevs otrygga. Sammantaget ger det förutsättningar för ett mer levande stadsliv som attraherar fler att vilja bo, bo kvar och göra bostadskarriär i Husby. Centrala begrepp i projektet är mångfald, trygghet, flexibilitet och hållbarhet. Jag har arbetat med att identifiera, bevara och utveckla kvaliteter i kombination med att öppna upp befintlig bebyggelse som präglas av upprepning, slutenhet och rationella byggmetoder samt addera ny bebyggelse för att få en större mångfald och ett mer flexibelt utbud av både lokaler, bokaler och bostäder men även genom att analysera och bearbeta områdets struktur. Fokus har legat på de trafikseparerade miljöerna och hur de kan vidareutvecklas genom att bland annat addera gångvägar och skapa nya stråk längst tillfartsgatorna och samtidigt bevara kvaliteter som de nivåseparerade korsningarna mellan gångvägarna och bilvägarna erbjuder med säker skolväg och en trygg bilfri miljö för barnen.My purpose of this project is to revitalize the District of Husby in northwestern Stockholm. Diversify zoned areas by adding and varying functions that define new pathways, link popular areas and overcome sites experienced as insecure. Overall, it may provide the conditions for a more vibrant city life attracting more people to stay on and climb the property ladder in Husby. The key concepts of the project is diversity, security, flexibility and sustainability. I have been working on preserving and developing qualities of the area in order to change existing buildings characterised by repetition, closed facades, rational building design and construction methods to obtain a greater diversity and a more flexible range of both business premises, housing and live-in commercial properties and also by analysing and transforming the city structure. Focus has been on the traffic separation environment and how it could be further developed by adding walkways along the access roads while still preserving qualities such as a car free environment for the children living in the area.
