Housing Unaffordability from a Resident’s Point of View
A new theoretical criterion of housing unaffordability from a resident’s point of view is proposed in this book, tested with social data for respondents and price data for single-detached(-like) homes in two historically affordable mid-sized cities at two points in time, 30 years apart. This new criterion is derived from the magnitude of the mismatch between where the resident can afford to live and where they, realistically, would prefer to live. Housing affordability is a global social and political issue, and this book complements recent books that review housing affordability from a practitioner’s point of view. The book is written to be understood by everybody, with each chapter’s introductory subsection summarizing the subsequent technical and scientific sections. This book will therefore be readable not only for practitioners, but also academics in social science disciplines such as real estate, geography, economics, sociology, urban planning, and urban studies. Best of all, residents may utilize this book’s analysis of housing unaffordability to make wiser decisions about their own homes.
Resilience, Crisis and Innovation Dynamics
Resilience has emerged as a recurrent notion to explain how territorial socio-economic systems adapt successfully (or not) to negative events. In this book, the authors use resilience as a bridging notion to connect different types of theoretical and empirical approaches to help understand the impacts of economic turbulence at the system and actor levels. The book provides a unique overview of the financial crisis and the important dimension of innovation dynamics for regional resilience. It also offers an engaging debate as to how regional resilience can be improved and explores the social aspects of vulnerability, resilience and innovation.

La nouvelle scène urbaine
Le XXIe siècle connaîtra-t-il, parallèlement au dépérissement international et national de l'Etat, un " nouvel âge mondial des villes " ? On assiste en effet à une imparable accélération de la transition urbaine à l'échelle planétaire. Au début du xlxe siècle, pas une ville au monde n'atteignait un million d'habitants ; en 1960 on en comptait 105 ; en 2009 la dernière " aire urbaine " au monde à atteindre un million d'habitants figurait au 480e rang. La population de ces ensembles, dans bien des cas supérieure à celle de nombreux Etats de l'O.N.U., et la capacité de ceux-là à capter et exploiter les flux économiques globaux leur confèrent une puissance qui en fait dés...
La Tiers-Mondialisation de la planète
La Tiers-Mondialisation de la planète, c’est le laminage des classes moyennes et la polarisation riches-pauvres de l’ensemble des sociétés, les ramenant toutes à l’état du Tiers-monde d’avant les « miracles ». On peut diversement décrire ce phénomène : « prolétarisation des classes moyennes », « classes moyennes à la dérive », « déclassement »... Bernard Conte analyse le caractère universel de cette transformation sociale comme résultat des politiques économiques néolibérales mises en Å“uvre depuis le milieu des années 1970.Le libéralisme régulé des « Trente Glorieuses » fonctionnait sur la base redistributive du compromis fordiste au Nord et du clientÃ...
