    Les jeux vidéo sont devenus un média incontournable. Les simulations de développement urbain appelées city-builders permettant la modélisation de villes de plus en plus sophistiquées figurent parmi les plus populaires. De nombreuses critiques quant à leur vision de l’urbanisme ont toujours été formulées. Ces critiques entrent en résonance avec différentes craintes liées au développement des villes intelligentes. Ce concept promulgue une conception des villes basée sur un usage intensif des technologies de l’information et de la communication. Encourageant activement une hybridation entre informations numériques et monde physique, sa conception dévoile un grand nombre d’enjeux clés pour concilier développement durable et qualité de vie urbaine grâce à une meilleure gestion des infrastructures et ressources naturelles. Les villes intelligentes et jeux de simulation urbaine sont néanmoins souvent accusés de partager une vision stéréotypée et uniforme du développement urbain ainsi qu’un certain mépris de l’individu. Les algorithmes sur lesquels ces deux domaines sont basés dégagent une image absolue et optimisée mais peuvent s’avérer injustes et biaisés lorsque leurs processus sont opaques. Les travaux récents sur les city-builders et villes intelligentes insistent séparément sur ces critiques analogues. Cet article souhaite mettre en valeur les liens étroits que ces deux domaines entretiennent, décrire les sources d’inspirations et le développement des city-builders avant de les confronter aux ambitions des villes intelligentes et de conclure sur les similitudes des craintes et critiques soulevées par les deux domaines.

    Why so many people in Japan ride bicycles | Léo Martial | TEDxYNU
    Léo told us a story about the bicycle culture in Japan using his own experience living here, in Yokohama, as a PhD student. Léo Martial was born in France in 1987. He graduated from the Ecole spéciale d’architecture in Paris in 2010 with a major in architecture. His interest about transportation, especially railway and bicycle, was born during his first contact with Japan when he was an exchange student at Tokai University in 2008. He freelanced as an architect in 2012 and mainly worked for the French railway company SNCF where he designed and renovated several train stations around Paris for four years. Laureate of the Japanese government scholarship in 2017, he is now pursuing his research about transportation further with a PhD thesis at Yokohama National University about the synergy of train and bicycle through comparative analysis between Japan and Europe. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
