Climate Change, Disaster Risk, and the Urban Poor. Rapport de la Banque mondiale, mai
2011
"Poor people living in slums are at particularly high risk from the impacts of climate change and
natural hazards. They live on the most vulnerable lands within cities, typically areas that are
deemed undesirable by others and are thus affordable. Residents are exposed to the impacts of
landslides, sea-level rise, flooding, and other hazards. Exposure to risk is exacerbated by
overcrowding living conditions, lack of adequate infrastructure and services, unsafe housing,
inadequate nutrition, and poor health. These conditions can turn a natural hazard or change in
climate into a disaster, and result in the loss of basic services, damage or destruction to homes,
loss of livelihoods, malnutrition, disease, disability, and loss of life."

How urban societies can adapt to resource shortage and climate change. David Satterthwaite,
Journal of the Royal Society, 13 mai 2011
Extrait du compte rendu du colloque "The sustainable planet: opportunities and challenges for
science, technology and society'"
"With more than half the world’s population now living in urban areas and with much of the
world still urbanizing, there are concerns that urbanization is a key driver of unsustainable
resource demands. Urbanization also appears to contribute to ever-growing levels of greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions. Meanwhile, in much of Africa and Asia and many nations in Latin America
and the Caribbean, urbanization has long outstripped local governments’ capacities or willingness
to act as can be seen in the high proportion of the urban population living in poor quality,
overcrowded, illegal housing lacking provision for water, sanitation, drainage, healthcare and
schools. "

Regularization of Informal Settlements in Latin America (Policy Focus Report). Fernandes,
Edésio, mai 2011. Site du Lincoln Institute (téléchargement gratuit sur inscription)
"The report offers recommendations for improving regularization policy and identifies issues that
must be addressed, such as collecting data with baseline figures to get a true evaluation of the
benefit of programs established. Also, it shows that each individual informal settlement must have
a customized plan, as a single approach will not work for each settlement. There is a need to
include both genders for long-term effectiveness and to find ways to make the regularization selfsustaining financially. Any program must be closely monitored to insure the conditions are
improved for the marginalized, as well as be sure it is not causing new informal settlements to be
established.'

Printemps arabe : quel impact sur les projets solaires euro-méditerranéens ?. Anne Farthouat
, Novethic, 23 mai 2011
Tunisie, Égypte, Libye, Syrie, Yémen... Les révolutions arabes dessinent un nouveau paysage
politique sur les rives sud et est de la Méditerranée. Or, le potentiel solaire de ces pays, convoité
par l'Union Européenne, fait l'objet de nombreux projets de partenariats industriels entre les deux
rives. Projets qui devront désormais tenir compte des attentes des sociétés civiles arabes.

Sfax : de la ville régionale au projet métropolitain. Bennasr Ali, Habilitation à Diriger les
Recherches en Géographie, Université de Tunis, faculté des sciences humaines et sociales. 2006
(mise en ligne Mai 2011)
« A l'aube de la mondialisation, Sfax donne l'image d'une ville qui n'a cessé de cumuler les retards
: un aménagement urbain déficient sous les effets conjugués de l'absence de politique volontariste
et de l'irréalisme des documents d'urbanisme utilisés jusqu'ici et un tissu économique
principalement industriel et de services en perte de vitesse. Soumise sous diverses mutations
urbaines et économiques, dont une grande partie reste très mal maîtrisée, la ville de Sfax connaît
un essoufflement manifeste et paraît aujourd'hui comme faiblement compétitive…. »

La reconstruction post-2006 au Liban : un laboratoire pour de nouvelles pratiques de
l’urbanisme. Métropolitiques, 27 mai 2011
"Les reconstructions sont souvent des moments d’accélération de l’évolution des modes
d’intervention urbanistique. Le cas du Liban post-2006 en est un exemple. Cet ouvrage présente
l’analyse par des urbanistes et universitaires de leur propre intervention, dans un contexte marqué
par le retrait de l’État et l’implantation locale forte du Hezbollah."

- African urbanism. Conférence d'Edgar Pieterse, organisée par la LSE le 26 janvier 2011
"Africa is the fastest urbanising region in the world, and has become the focus of increasing
attention from architects and planners, academics, development agencies and urban think-tanks.
Professor Edgar Pieterse argues for a new way of thinking about African cities to accompany this
surge of interest and to replace traditional views of African cities as sites of absence and neglect.
Rapid urbanisation along with impressive economic growth rates for much of the Continent
represents an interesting moment to take stock of how academic discourses capture and animate
African urbanism. Edgar Pieterse is holder of the NRF South African Research Chair in Urban
Policy. He directs the African Centre for Cities at the University of Cape Town. Philipp Rode is
executive director of LSE Cities."

- Lagos: Confronting Change in a Global Megacity Conférence de Babatunde Fashola,
organisée par la LSE le 19 novembre 2010
"Lagos is one the fastest growing cities in Africa, and the seventh fastest growing city in the
world. Governor Babatunde Fashola discusses how his administration is managing rapid
urbanization and growth of this 17.5 million city, the engine of Nigeria's economy. Central to his
strategy is the view that cities must pursue a bottom-up approach to solve the environmental and
social challenges of the contemporary city. Babatunde Fashola is the youngest Governor of Lagos
State in the History of Nigeria and a lawyer by profession."

Roy, organisée par la LSE le 12 mai 2011. Site YouTube.
"The 21st century will be an urban century. It will also be a 'Southern' or even 'Asian' century,

these Asian experiments and the ambitious claims of the making of 'Asian' futures. Ananya Roy is
professor in the Department of City and Regional Planning and co-director of the Global
Metropolitan Studies Center at the University of California, Berkeley."
