Were the relationships between streets, homes, and groups inhabiting them wholly accidental and of short duration, then men might tear down their homes, district, and city, only to rebuild another on the same site according to a different set of plans. But even if stones are moveable, relationships established between stones and men are not so easily altered.(Halbwachs 1980, p. 133)As you approach contemporary İzmir from the bay, the city that lies ahead of you invokes images of a fortress city. It is enveloped by an unbroken concrete wall made up of tall apartment buildings, one morphing into the other, only to be interrupted by narrow streets. Republic Square, located at the very tip of the bay, resembles a gate to this immense fortress. If you walk half a kilometer eastward through this opening, you will arrive at a large green space at the heart of the city, quite unusual for, modern cities in Turkey. This is the Kültürpark, where İzmirians go to jog, play tennis, have their wedding ceremonies, take their children to play, and watch theatrical and musical performances. Its trees and flower gardens infuse life in a city that has fallen prey to the invasion of concrete as a result of unplanned over-urbanization. Toward the end of each summer, the park becomes even livelier with the opening of the annual Izmir International Fair on the grounds. The Fair attracts some four million visitors every year, and even though the majority are İzmirians, people from other parts of Turkey also flock to İzmir to view the pavilions of Japan, China, U.S.A., and England, as well as those showcasing Turkey’s national firms (Fuar Kataloğu 2000).

Bogdanović was not only the leading architect of monuments in the former Yugoslavia, but also one of the country's most important writers. He is the author of 18 books and more than 500 articles, which have been translated into several languages. Most of them are dedicated to cities and urbanism, covering various aspects: the city in history, criticism of the modern city, utopia, death of the city etc. He created the term 'small urbanism' and published many articles on the problems of modern cities, which are today, nearly half a century later, still very topical (environment, migration, over-population). In the 1990s he was engaged in the campaign against the war in Yugoslavia and the 'ritual killing' of cities. It is also interesting to see Bogdanović's essays in the context of some contemporary theories on urban planning. Knowledge of the literary work of Bogdanović provides a better understanding of his personality, both as an architect and as an intellectual of the European status.

This chapter examines the relationship between Jews and the modern city, and more specifically how urban life contributed to Jewish degeneration, by drawing on the arguments advanced by Yuri Slezkine in his book The Jewish Century. While some scholars praised The Jewish Century, others were critical of Slezkine’s work. The chapter first looks at intellectuals who influenced the turn-of-the-century discourse on the city, including Georg Simmel, Louis Wirth, Arthur Ruppin, and Theodor Herzl, before discussing the combined impact of the historical and sociological processes of urbanization and assimilation, on the one hand, and of individual adaptation and mental degeneration, on the other, on the sociological meaning of being Jewish. It also considers the discourse regarding the intersection between race and environment, taking into account arguments by physicians such as Jacob Snowman and Abraham Myerson.

<p><strong>Resumo:</strong> O presente artigo pretende lançar um olhar sobre o Recife a partir de duas perspectivas. De um lado, o Recife da saudade, das memórias, na obra de Gilberto Freyre <em>Guia Prático e sentimental do Recife</em>; onde o autor enaltece a cidade onde vida, a partir de seu passado de localidade colonial dominante, antes que o mal da Modernidade, avassaladora, a mudasse a  tal ponto que ele já não se reconhecia em certos traços de sua cidade. Do outro lado temos a visão de alguns <em>mangueboys</em>, assim chamados os componentes da cena cultural <em>Manguebeat</em>, na década de 90 do século passado. A Modernidade que modificou a cidade freyreana é vista a partir das periferias nos seus desacertos, no caos da metrópole em que se tornou a outrora bucólica Recife. <em>Andando</em> pela obra desses indivíduos podemos ver as diferentes visões sobre a cidade, dos sobrados e das palafitas ela é vista com tons, sons e sentimentos díspares.</p><p><strong>Palavras-chave: </strong>Recife – Cidade moderna – Vivências urbanas.<strong></strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Abstract: </strong>This paper aims to catch sight of Recife from two distinct perspectives. On one hand, we can see Recife in the memories of Gilberto Freyre in his book <em>Guia Prático e sentimental do Recife</em>, where the author honors the city where he lives starting from his past of dominant colonial location before the evil of devastating Modernity could change it in such a way that he could not recognize certain traces of his city. On the other hand, we have the views of some <em>mangueboys, </em>so called the components of the cultural scene <em>Manguebeat</em> in the 90s last century. The Modernity which changed Freyre’s city is seen from the peripheries in the mistakes, in the chaos of the metropolis in which became the bucolic Recife in the past. Checking the work from these individuals we can see the different views on the city, on the two-storied houses and houses on stilts. It is seen with disparate tones, sounds and feelings.</p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Recife – Modern city – Urban experience.<strong></strong></p>

The “Plan Voisin” for Paris dated 1925, is one of the most notorious urban projects by Le Corbusier. In it he implements his first real model of the modern city: “The city of Three Million Inhabitants”, drawn for the Autumn Exhibit on 1922. Both projects have a close and direct relation. While one proposes a theoretical model, the other develops how to implement it in the center of Paris. Therefore, both projects can be understood as the same approach but in two different moments. In Le Corbusier’s books, the graphical representation of the projects reflect this, although the documents tend to contradict it. In his “Œuvre complète”, for example, the number of images differs for each case. While the project “The city of three million Inhabitants” is represented by a generous amount of drawings and plans (around 20 images), the “Plan Voisin” adds up to a maximum of five specific images. In the book “Urbanisme” the proportion is of images is similar. This This is a cause of scarce comprehension of the plan for Paris. The article focuses on the graphical documentation in “Plan Voisin”, its difference with the theoretical model and an analysis of its implementation. Principally, the article studies the relation between the new buildings with with those that remains, revealing Le Corbusier’s criteria towards architectural heritage and the importance he gives to some urban complexes in Paris.

AbstractThis article explores the relationship between politics, society and culture in Napoleonic Milan (1796–1814) on the one hand, and opera reviews published in the city’s periodical press at the time on the other. This relationship is worth discussing for two reasons: first, Milan under French rule constituted the earliest, embryonic instance of the modern city in Italy; second, it was there that for the first time in Italy operatic criticism shifted from an undivided focus on the performance, mostly treated as a social occasion, to a prominent concern for the work being performed, which became the object of lengthy critical scrutiny. The article focuses specifically on the function of the periodical press as a crucial link between the discourse of opera and that of the city, exploring the complex ways in which Milanese society, culture and ideology, especially as represented in the city’s newspapers, are connected to the epoch-making shift from performance to work in the opera reviews published there.
