AbstractNeoliberalization processes have been reshaping the landscapes of urban development for more than three decades, but their forms and consequences continue to evolve through an eclectic blend of failure and crisis, regulatory experimentation, and policy transfer across places, territories and scales. The proliferation of familiar neoliberal discourses and policy formulations in the aftermath of the 2007‐09 world financial crisis masks evidence of more deeply rooted transformations of policies, institutions and spaces that continue to combatively remake terrains of urban development. Accordingly, the critical intellectual project of deciphering the problematic of neoliberal urbanism must continue to evolve. This essay outlines some of the methodological and political challenges associated with (re)constructing a ′moving map′ of post‐crisis neoliberalization processes. We affirm a form of critical urban theory that adopts a restlessly antagonistic stance towards orthodox urban formations and their dominant ideologies, institutional arrangements and societal effects, tracking their endemic policy failures and crisis tendencies while at the same time demarcating potential terrains for heterodox, radical and/or insurgent theories and practices of emancipatory social change.

Pour expliquer l'explosion des banlieues, notamment de la banlieue parisienne, ce sont la plupart du temps les motifs sociaux que l'on met en avant. A Sartrouville comme à Argenteuil, à Mantes-la-Jolie ou ailleurs, il n'est question que d'immigration, de chômage et d'ennui sur fond de crise de la jeunesse. Sujet démagogique par excellence, la banlieue incite à la confusion des genres : la politique du logement, la politique tout court, le social, la police, l'éducation, le sport, la délinquance...
On est frappé de constater, dans ce concert, un absent : pourtant le plus important en ce qu'il conditionne le cadre de vie mais aussi les déplacements quotidiens comme l'organisation de nos rythmes de travail et de repos, c'est l'urbanisme.
L'urbanisme n'est-il pas médiatique ? L'architecture est-elle condamnée à demeurer éternellement un sujet de spécialistes ? Certes pas, et surtout pour ceux qui comme Patrick Colombier, président de l'association d'architectes 75021, préfèrent agir comme forces de propositions plutôt que comme agitateurs des faciles haines sociales.

Zwei Probleme bestimmen die Entwicklung der Architektur in Marokko: einerseits die Aufgabe, eine Verbindung zwischen Tradition und Moderne herzustellen, andererseits die Notwendigkeit, eine schnell wachsende Bevölkerung unterzubringen. Die Analyse ist historisch angelegt: von der Entwicklung der Medinas über die koloniale Baupolitik zur Entwicklung nach der Unabhängigkeit. Konkrete Beispiele betreffen Privatinitiative und die Stadtentwicklung Casablancas. (DÜI-Wsl)
