Coney Island
For almost 100 years, Coney Island was the most popular seaside destination in the United States. Eachyear, millions escaped the heat of New York City to savor the thrills of the Cyclone roller coaster and Wonder Wheel at the Astroland amusement park.

Community Regeneration Masterplan
This book reports on a large research project on community regeneration, which integrated the spatial, social, economic and organizational factors with the dimensions of sustainability, resilience and participation. Upon providing a detailed review on concepts of community and urban regeneration, it analyses a set of successful case studies from 30 European cities, which were selected by the authors from different rankings and awards. Fifty-seven key performance indicators and the results of self-assessment questionnaires are here introduced to allow a comparative study of best practices and eventually to outline 20 guidelines and 100 strategic actions for future community regeneration projects. All in all, this book offers extensive information and a source of inspiration for urban planners, economists, sociologists, public administrators, stakeholders and all those involved in the development and management of sustainable cities.

L’observation des territoires urbains contemporains fait apparaître un paradoxe singulier. Si les politiques publiques s’efforcent de freiner la consommation de sol et les pressions sur le paysage par la promotion de stratégies pour juguler l’étalement urbain, un stock considérable de terrains situés au coeur des villes et des agglomérations n’en demeure pas moins à l’abandon. Ces friches urbaines, qui abritaient autrefois des activités industrielles, ferroviaires, militaires ou infrastructurelles, offrent pourtant de précieuses réserves de terrains constructibles. Selon certaines estimations récentes, une surface équivalant au double de la superficie d'une ville comme ...
