Société post-industrielle

Résumé

Le post-industrialisme est un courant intellectuel apparenté à la sociologie occidentale, apparu au début des années 1970. Ses chefs de file sont l'Américain Daniel Bell en 1966 et 1973 et le Français Alain Touraine, en 1969. Une polémique est apparue plus tard entre les deux auteurs portant sur la paternité du concept de société post-industrielle. Il apparait en fait que Bell a formulé le concept dès 1959, soit dix ans avant Touraine, lors d'un séminaire qui se tenait à Salzbourg (Autriche), au sein de la Commission de l'an 2000 qu'il présidait. Bien qu'en désaccord sur de nombreux points, les deux hommes ont néanmoins forgé un concept ayant influencé un certain nombre de leurs contemporains (David Riesman, Paul Goodman, Radovan Richta, Jacques Ellul...), même si ceux-ci n'ont pas toujours repris l'expression, voire en ont contesté la pertinence. Origine de l'expression Plusieurs auteurs, dont le sociologue français Armand Mattelart dans son Histoire de la société de l'in

Implementation of a sustainability monitoring tool into the dynamics of an urban brownfield regeneration project

Martine Laprise

Within the context of post-industrial European cities, the regeneration of urban brownfields contributes to limit urban sprawl by increasing cities density while revitalizing neighborhoods. Yet because of their complex nature, urban brownfields regeneration projects (UBRP) are not automatically sustainable. To foster the integration of sustainability objectives into these projects dynamics, an operational monitoring tool was created. Entitled SIPRIUS+, this tool is a collaborative web-based software combining sustainability indicators adapted to UBRP issues and several management functionalities. Test applications conducted on case studies and presented to the related stakeholders gave positive insights about the potential of SIPRIUS+ to provide decision-making support. However, because of the long duration of UBRP, some aspects inherent to monitoring were not verified and the tool not piloted in real conditions. In order to confront SIPRIUS+ with the reality of the practice and its end-users, the tool is now being implemented for an 18-month period in the Gare-Lac neighborhood project located in Yverdon-les-Bains (Switzerland). The paper investigates how SIPRIUS+ is actually implemented into the project's ongoing urban planning procedure. Then, we analyze preliminary feedbacks to measure the level of adoption of the monitoring approach by the different stakeholders and to identify points of improvement.

Fostering sustainable urban renewal at the neighborhood scale with a spatial decision support system

Martine Laprise, Maria Gracia Riera Perez

Sustainable urban densification is one of the main challenges of European post-industrial cities. In Switzerland, a recent adaptation of the federal law on spatial planning reinforces the limitation of urban sprawl. Hence, public authorities are confronted with the challenge of exploiting the densification potential of the existing urban fabric. In order to develop realistic, yet ambitious projects, the neighborhood scale is considered as the most appropriate for urban renewal planning. At this scale, projects can follow a larger urban vision for the city, and at the same time, adapt to the specificities of the existing buildings, business, and inhabitants. Therefore, urban renewal projects at the neighborhood scale seem necessary for a sustainable urban development. In this context, adopting an evaluative approach offering a decision-making support appears relevant to contribute optimizing urban renewal projects. This paper presents a new spatial decision support system (SDSS): URBIUS, specifically developed for urban renewal projects at the neighborhood scale. It provides an assessment based on six sustainability objectives for existing neighborhoods. In addition, it offers assessment thresholds are adaptable for each neighborhood through a dynamic approach taking into account the actual situation of the neighborhood and its expected long-term evolution. Finally, URBIUS is tested on a case study, “Les Moulins” neighborhood in Switzerland, showing its potential to foster sustainable urban renewal at the neighborhood scale.

It is now common knowledge, the regeneration of previously developed sites in urban areas can have positive impacts on the environment, the economy and the society as they constitute opportunities for the densification of the existing built fabric. In the context of the post-industrial European city, the urban wastelands offer thus an important potential of buildable surfaces and a chance to revitalize some portions of cities and metropolitan areas. Initiatives of this type are now strongly fostered by land use policies. However, it must be noted that in most cases references made to the concept of sustainable development are still often partial and superficial. Its integration requires a proactive and holistic approach, integrated in a participative way into the project dynamic, and a continuous assessment of the many dimensions of sustainability in regard with the specificity of these sites. The strategic integration of operational assessment into urban wastelands transformation projects is addressing specifically with these targets. Preliminary research projects have allowed to identify a first set of criteria and indicators based on specific characteristics of wasteland regeneration projects and to achieve a first test application on a concrete project. On the basis of that works, this paper shows the transposition of this set into a digital monitoring tool, entitled SIPRIUS, in order to create an operational assessment methodology that concretely facilitates the transformation of urban wastelands into sustainable neighborhoods.
