He is also an Associate at the Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion, LSE and a Research Associate at the White Rose East Asia Centre, University of Leeds. He was a Visiting Research Fellow at the Social Policy Research Centre, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (2002-2003) and also at the Asia Research Centre, LSE (2006-2007). Hyun Shin was awarded his BSc from Seoul National University in 1994, and worked in the construction sector for six years before arriving at the LSE to pursue his MSc (2000) and PhD (2006). His main research interests lie in critically analysing political and economic dynamics of contemporary urban (re-)development and its socio-spatial implications, with special emphasis on Asian cities. He has recently received the STICERD/LSE Annual Fund New Researcher Award (2009-2010) to fund his examination of the social legacy of 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games in China.

Pushing ahead with mega-events: the housing outcomes of mega-event hosting on low-income families in China Contemporary cities increasingly compete for hosting mega-events such as the Olympic Games. While their economic benefits are often discussed, little attention is paid to the social impact of hosting mega-events on poor residents and changes in their housing conditions. To fill this gap, this pilot research examines the experience of mega-event hosting in three Chinese cities: Beijing and Tianjin in relation to the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, and Xining in Qinghai Province as the host city of annual international cycling race. The research finds that mega-event hosting is pursued as a catalyst for spatial restructuring and beautification in already rapidly urbanising cities. Poor residents and migrants in dilapidated neighbourhoods are the hardest hit by those projects related to mega-event preparation. The severity of negative effects induced by neighbourhood demolition tends to vary according to housing tenure and household registration status. Private tenants and migrants tend to be the most disadvantaged.

A charrette is a method of organizing thoughts from experts and the users into a structured medium that is unrestricted and conducive to the creativity and the development of myriad scenarios. The word charrette may refer to any collaborative session in which a group of designers drafts a solution to a design problem. While the structure of a charrette varies, depending on the design problem and the individuals in the group, charrettes often take place in multiple sessions in which the group divides into sub-groups. Each sub-group then presents its work to the full group as material for future dialogue. Such charrettes serve as a way of quickly generating a design solution while integrating the aptitudes and interests of a diverse group of people. Compare this term with workshop.

Rumo à soluções de saneamento mais sustentáveis (in Portuguese) Towards more sustainable sanitation solutions - SuSanA Vision Document A principal meta da rede SuSanA é contribuir para atingir os ODM mediante a promoção de sistemas de saneamento que considerem todos os aspectos de sustentabilidade. Os ODM e o Ano Internacional do Saneamento 2008 são especialmente apreciados pela "Aliança do Saneamento Sustentável", já que eles contribuem para colocar o saneamento entre as prioridades da agenda política. O enfoque principal do trabalho da "Aliança para o Saneamento Sustentável" será promover a implementação de sistemas de saneamento sustentáveis em programas de água e saneamento em larga escala, alinhados com as estratégias propostas por exemplo pela OMS, PNUDPEP, UNSGAD e UNESCO.

The Metropolitan Moment Cities, Metropolitan Recovery and Spending Priorities, Technology and Development, U.S. Economy Bruce Katz and Jennifer Bradley, Brookings Institution Press 2012 c. 160pp. The United States must remake its economy if it is to achieve sustainable prosperity in a world that continues to transform at a dizzying pace. Americans must move from an economy driven by domestic consumption, debt, and financial engineering to one that is driven by exports, powered by cleaner energy, fueled by innovation, and rich in opportunity. Movement toward such an economy, in the view of Bruce Katz and Jennifer Bradley, must be led by metropolitan areas. The Metropolitan Moment details the importance of specific attributes to America's next economy, with a chapter devoted to each. For example, as wealth increases in nations such as China, India, and Brazil, greater U.S. emphasis on exports would capitalize on rising global demand. Aggressive investment in, and movement toward, a low-carbon economy will present new opportunities for the energy sector and the industries that feed it, as well as improving the health and quality of life for residents. Greater innovation in other areas as well must be pursued, supported, and sustained if we hope to see real growth in the long term. Taken together, these developments will help increase economic opportunity for all, reversing the long trend of increased inequality that can dispirit and even destabilize a society. The final section explores the unfortunate disjunction between the economic power of metropolitan areas and their legal powerlessness. Despite their obvious importance, they technically do not even exist in state law. Katz and Bradley explain how states can help build the foundation of the new economy, and a big part of that is adequately supporting their metropolitan economic engines. They also explain the federal government's role in this transformation-what it can do to help, and what it should not

Quarante ans plus tard, elle y retourne, retrouve les anciens maraîchers, qu'elle confronte aux plus jeunes. En 40 ans leur nombre a chuté de 200 à 40. D'autres acteurs sont désormais présents au titre de l'écologie, de la conservation, des loisirs et du tourisme. Un film remarquable sur la question des transformations des pratiques agricoles et du territoire. *12h15 : présentation du projet Sophy Agriculture et changements Ce projet propose de repérer et d'analyser les dynamiques techniques et sociales à l'œuvre dans les cultures professionnelles de cinq filières agricoles.

CITERES UMR CItés, TERritoires, Environnement et Sociétés Notre société est confrontée à des bouleversements sociaux et spatiaux liés à des phénomènes complexes. Les modèles sur lesquels s'appuyaient jusqu'à peu la réflexion et l'action apparaissent obsolètes. Les sciences sociales et historiques doivent aujourd'hui viser à mieux comprendre l'évolution des rapports de nos sociétés à leur espace. Composée de quatre équipes, l'UMR CITERES entend répondre à ce défi. Ses équipes mènent leurs travaux avec un même souci de l'échange et de l'interdisciplinarité, dans différentes aires chrono-culturelles mais sur un domaine commun, les processus de spatialisation et de territorialisation
