North-South University Research Partnerships in Latin America and the Caribbean
This volume examines research productivity within schools in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and presents examples of various successful LAC North-South programs which have propelled university research in the region. Much of the scholarly work on North-South research to date has concentrated principally on joint publications and co-authorship bibliometrics. In this book, cases are explored within the context of study on international research collaborations to highlight the motivations, mechanics, limitations, and success factors involved in the North-South relationships and their resulting research output.

Urban Heritage and Sustainability in the Age of Globalisation
This book offers a deep exploration of architectural and urban heritage, using interdisciplinary and intercultural approaches to assess how historical, social, economic and political factors have impacted heritage development and its sustainability. It sheds light on the stakes of heritage conservation, management and maintenance in today’s globalised world. Through detailed studies of historic cities, the book explores both the tangible aspects of their built heritage (urban fabric, housing design, construction methods and materials for thermal comfort) and the intangible components of local communities (including identities, cultures, religions, values and ways of life) in diverse case studies in Egypt, France, India, Iran, Jordan, Morocco, Syria and Tunisia. By addressing not only urban and architectural heritage but also socio-cultural, environmental and political issues—including economic challenges and climatic concerns—this book is an essential resource for scholars and researchers across fields, including architecture, civil engineering, urban planning, sociology and philosophical anthropology.

LES ARCHITECTES : MUTATIONS D'UNE PROFESSION
Les architectes font partie des professions libérales déstabilisées dans leur rôle sociale et dans leur identité. L'unité professionnelle est largement brouillée par la diversité des pratiques, et est confrontée à des changements profonds depuis trois décennies. Cet ouvrage en révèle quelques-uns en appréhendant les pratiques professionnelles et les systèmes qui les déterminent. Pour en tracer une meilleure lisibilité, un rapide historique réinscrit ces évolutions dans une temporalité plus longue.
Recomposer la ville
Des initiatives ont été prises dès 1996 pour donner une autre image de la ville de Bordeaux et changer les pratiques des habitants. La restructuration des quais de la Garonne et le lancement des trois lignes de tramway illustrent de façon spectaculaire ce vaste mouvement de recomposition urbaine. Au-delà de la description de ces réalisations, les auteurs nous invitent à découvrir les coulisses souvent ignorées de la fabrication de la ville et élargissent la réflexion à la fabrication des espaces urbains. Généralisation qui permet de mieux situer l'action de ceux qui réalisent les métamorphoses des villes.

Dilemmas of Sustainable Urban Development
Dilemmas of Sustainable Urban Development offers valuable insights into a difficult line of work whose practice inevitably requires a confrontation with fundamental conflicts between divergent goals, and therefore also demands difficult choices and compromises. With contributions from leading academics and expert practitioners, this book provides readers with diverse international case studies which highlight and examine the concrete challenges of practicing sustainable urban development. The examples in this book touch upon all aspects of sustainable urban development work, from City Hall to the local park. All of the cases unfold in their own specific contexts under particular circumstances—but from each one of them there are general lessons that can be used to inform practice. This book is essential reading for anyone who is active as a student, researcher, or practitioner in the field of urban development.
