• Sommario/riassunto: Throughout Canada, provincial, federal, and municipal archives exist to house the records we produce. Some conceive of these institutions as old and staid, suggesting that archives are somehow trapped in the past. But archives are more than resources for professional scholars and interested individuals. With an increasing emphasis on transparency in government and public institutions, archives have become essential tools for accountability.Better Off Forgetting? offers a reappraisal of archives and a look at the challenges they face in a time when issues of freedom of information, privacy, technology, and digitization are increasingly important. The contributors argue that archives are essential to contemporary debates about public policy and make a case for more status, funding, and influence within public bureaucracies. While stimulating debate about our rapidly changing information environment, Better Off Forgetting? focuses on the continuing role of archives in gathering and preserving our collective memory.

• Sommario/riassunto: Ce livre se penche sur les pratiques concrètes de participation publique, en matière de planifi cation urbaine, dans trois agglomérations, Grenoble et Lyon en France, et Montréal au Québec. Comment s’y effectuent la prise en compte du développement durable et la mise en tension des dimensions associées à cette notion ? La participation publique peut-elle constituer un instrument privilégié à cette fin ? Ce livre s’intéresse aussi à la participation publique sous l’angle de ses effets sur le contenu des exercices de planification et les modes d’élaboration des politiques urbaines. Il est construit en trois parties. La première pose la question de la capacité de la participation publique à transformer l’action urbaine et à l’infléchir dans le sens des principes du développement urbain durable. La deuxième dresse un portrait de la participation publique dans trois exercices de planification métropolitaine. La troisième présente une analyse des transformations de l’action urbaine, du point de vue des processus et ; des contenus. En traitant des « procédures en action », cet ouvrage intéressera non seulement les étudiants et les enseignants en sciences sociales, mais également les acteurs et les professionnels de l’aménagement, urbanistes, aménagistes, élus locaux, agents de développement ou associations locales.
