Al igual que siempre estamos pensando en las tres B de bueno, bonito y barato. Al coser las tres P son importantes y hay que tratar de mantenerlas en la cabeza al unir las piezas de nuestro Patchwork.
Al comenzar a unir nuestras piezas para lograr un hermoso block de Patchwork, entramos al mundo de las P (espero entiendan mi chiste al final de leer este post…que empieza con P) y por que digo esto, por que además de escoger una puntada recta debemos escoger el ancho y el largo de la puntada, en este último ítem esta el quid del asunto, muchas veces seremos un poco atolondradas y utilizaremos el preestablecido de la configuración de la puntada en la máquina de coser…¿Es el correcto?
La respuesta es depende, ya que el largo de la costura nos dará además la resistencia de esta en la tela y para tener una mayor o menor resistencia deberemos tener en cuenta otros factores como el hilo que usamos y la tela con que fabricamos nuestro patchwork que muchas veces puede no ser algodón de quilting, recordemos que de preferencia será nuestra tela favorita pero también podemos experimentar con otras que están hechas a base de algodón como la mezclilla, la crea, o la franela…el cielo es el límite.
Por lo mismo como saber que largo debemos usar, la primera dificultad que debemos enfrentar es, el largo de nuestras puntadas en nuestras máquinas de coser esta dado en milímetros y para el patchwork y el quilting es necesario queee (l@s que han leído mi blog lo saben, si no acá la pista) convirtamos la cantidad señalada a pulgadas y para ello debemos utilizar la siguiente formula:
25.4 dividido por la cantidad establecida como largo de puntada por ejemplo, 1,8 dando como resultado: la cantidad de Puntadas Por Pulgadas que es 14,1
¿Desglosamos?
El primer factor es 25.4 que no es un factor cualquiera es la EQUIVALENCIA de una pulgada en centímetros.
El segundo factor es 1.8 (es el largo por defecto en la puntada recta de patchwork en mi Janome 2030 QDC). Aquí es donde variaremos según veamos más adelante. si la puntada será más larga o más corta.
Por último tendremos el resultado: en este caso 14,1 será el número de puntadas por pulgada (taraaan ahi aparecieron las tres P, ABREVIACIÓN EN INGLES SPI Stitches per inch)
Servirá una puntada tan tupida para una tela que corre el riesgo de deformarse si nos equivocamos…en el patchwork si hay algo que siempre buscamos es la exactitud para que los patrones salgan tan soñados como lo deseamos. Por lo que deberemos hacer el cálculo (nueva nota mental, nuestro costurero merece una calculadora o tener el celular a mano)
¿Y al acolchar, esta norma es tan valida como al unir nuestras piezas?
Si es absolutamente válida y nada de diferente, la única cosa que cambia aquí es que en vez de tener dos trozos de tela tendremos un sandwich de quilting que contiene 3 piezas (tela de backing + punzonado o (relleno de algodón) + top de patchwork) haciendo crecer el grosor que pondremos sobre los dientes de nuestra máquina de coser, además de ello dependerá si haremos acolchado libre o acolchado con pie de arrastre. En el acolchado libre no tiene mayor incidencia. En el acolchado con el pie de arrastre, tiene toda la importancia, especialmente por nuestras decisiones creativas si no que también por la unión de las 3 capas; ¿que se recomienda? El prénsatelas de arrastre (pie) agrega fuerza a nuestra máquina de coser; permite que la costura recta sea consistente y derecha; por ende le hace la tarea más fácil a los dientes de la máquina, el largo de costura podrá ser más grande y menos puntadas por pulgadas, se recomienda un largo entre 2,5 y 3 milímetros.
Acolchado con pie de Arrastre de largo 3.0 mm en curso Quilt as you go de Academia Janome Chile
¿Y a las que les gusta hacer la unión de piezas a mano o Hand Piecing?
Una de las grandes fan de esta técnica es Wylline Hammerstein, quien hizo su passacaglia en esta modalidad y ha escrito varios libros con patrones preciosos. Pero también necesitan coser con cierta resistencia y consistencia, incluso se puede medir la habilidad de la quilter según la cantidad de puntadas que es capaz de hacer en una pulgada aquí un rango:
Mediocre: 6 PPP
Logrado: 8 PPP
Experto: 10 PPP
Profesional: 12 PPP
MicroQuilter: 14 PPP (esto sería la gloria, mucha práctica por delante)
Entonces para hacer pieceo a mano no solo valdrá el hilo que usemos también la consistencia, si puedo hacer 8 a10 puntadas iguales en una pulgada será mucho más resistente que 10 a 12 puntadas irregulares. Esto sólo te lo dará la práctica. Pero como nos encanta comprar tela…y siempre sale nueva…¡manos a la obra!
Con todo esto quiero darles las siguientes conclusiones:
El largo de la puntada le da direcciones a los dientes de la máquina de coser y no a la aguja.
Por lo mismo: a mayor largo de puntada menor es la cantidad de tela que pasa por sobre los dientes de nuestra máquina de coser.
A menor largo de puntada mayor es la cantidad de tela que pasa por sobre los dientes de la máquina. Esto dependiendo del grosor de nuestra tela si se ve forzado podrá poner a prueba el rendimiento de la máquina de coser y si se ve sobrepasado la presión de ambas llevará q que la aguja se quiebre (y nos de el susto de el enojo de la vida)
Para usar el pie de doble arrastre el largo de la puntada incidirá en la firmeza de nuestro quilt y se requiere un mínimo de 2,5.
En cuanto al pieceo a mano: la práctica hace al maestro (a trabajar Chic@s)

Com o objetivo de ouvir e dialogar com usuários do Transporte Especial Sem Limite, pessoas com deficiência física ou mobilidade reduzida, a Prefeitura de Contagem realizou, sábado (8/10), no auditório da UNA Contagem, o 1º Encontro Coletivo de Gestão Democrática do Serviço de Transporte Especial Sem Limite.
Na abertura do evento, a superintendente de Políticas Públicas para as Pessoas com Deficiência, Karla Regina Lopes, disse que o evento é uma forma de garantir a gestão democrática do serviço e de apurar as necessidades dos usuários, por meio de sugestões, críticas e elogios, contribuindo, assim, para a melhoria e avanços do serviço na cidade.
O Programa Sem Limite realiza o transporte gratuito de pessoas com deficiência física ou mobilidade reduzida do município para escolas e tratamentos médicos, garantindo o direito de ir e vir, promovendo dignidade, inclusão e cidadania. Contagem é uma das únicas cidades mineiras que mantém este tipo de transporte no Brasil.
Presente ao evento, o vice-prefeito Ricardo Faria ressaltou o compromisso da Prefeitura com as políticas públicas inclusivas e inovadoras. “O aspecto holístico do Programa Sem Limite envolve várias secretarias. As pessoas tem várias necessidades. Além de ir ao médico, elas também precisam de ir ao cinema e ao parque. São políticas como estas que melhoram a qualidade de vida das pessoas”, afirmou.
O secretário de Direitos Humanos e Cidadania, Marcelo Lino, destacou que o Programa Sem Limite é fruto de uma ousadia da prefeita Marília Campos, que escolheu investir na pessoa com deficiência, para garantir o direito de todos irem à escola e ao médico. Nestes 15 anos do Programa, queremos pensar coletivamente para que possamos ser ainda mais eficientes”, disse.
A estudante de Sistemas de Informação, Luana Oliveira, 26 anos, usa o Transporte Especial desde os 11 anos de idade. Hoje ela já está na faculdade e continua usando o serviço. “O Sem Limite é muito importante para garantir a minha mobilidade, conforto e segurança, porque ele me pega na porta da faculdade e me deixa na porta de casa. Como eu estudo a noite, sem esta segurança seria muito difícil pra mim, e esta abertura para o diálogo é muito importante para melhorias”, opinou.
A dona de casa, Daiane Flávia, achou importante participar do evento. Ela tem uma filha que faz o uso do Transporte Especial, que considera essencial na sua vida. “O Sem Limite facilita totalmente a minha vida, sem ele eu não poderia levar a minha filha para fazer os tratamentos que ela precisa. O serviço é muito bom e necessário. Se pudesse ser ampliado, seria melhor ainda”, disse.
Também participaram do evento, o presidente da Autarquia Municipal de Trânsito e Transportes de Contagem- Transcon, Marco Antônio Silveira, e o representante da Cooperativa de Transporte Inclusivo, Vanjo Barcelos.
Programa Sem Limite
É uma política pública do município, promovida com recursos, exclusivamente, do município. Desde 2007, o serviço já beneficiou centenas de pessoas e, atualmente, conta com 392 usuários credenciados e 24 vans disponíveis, com capacidade para transportar até três cadeirantes e seus acompanhantes.
O transporte tem a gestão e execução em formato de responsabilidade intersetorial, envolvendo as secretarias municipais de Direitos Humanos e Cidadania; de Desenvolvimento Social, Trabalho e Segurança Alimentar; de Saúde e de Educação, além da Autarquia Municipal de Trânsito e de Transportes de Contagem – TransCon.
American Speedfest 8 Returned to Brands Hatch for another Fantastic American themed weekend Featuring the likes of Euro Nascar Legends and even Angelo American Formula 5000's Racing this weekender event was shaping up to be a good one.

Las Vegas, colloquially referred to as Vegas, is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Nevada and the seat of Clark County. The Las Vegas Valley metropolitan area is the largest within the greater Mojave Desert, and second-largest in the Southwestern United States. Las Vegas is an internationally renowned major resort city, known primarily for its gambling, shopping, fine dining, entertainment, and nightlife, with most venues centered on downtown Las Vegas and more to the Las Vegas Strip just outside city limits. The Las Vegas Valley as a whole serves as the leading financial, commercial, and cultural center for Nevada. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city had 641,903 residents in 2020, with a metropolitan population of 2,227,053, making it the 25th-most populous city in the United States.
The city bills itself as the Entertainment Capital of the World, and is famous for its luxurious and extremely large casino-hotels. With over 40.8 million visitors annually as of 2023, Las Vegas is one of the most visited cities in the United States. It is a top-three U.S. destination for business conventions and a global leader in the hospitality industry, claiming more AAA Five Diamond hotels than any other city in the world. Las Vegas annually ranks as one of the world's most visited tourist destinations. The city's tolerance for numerous forms of adult entertainment has earned it the nickname "Sin City", and has made Las Vegas a popular setting for literature, films, television programs, commercials and music videos.
Las Vegas was settled in 1905 and officially incorporated in 1911. At the close of the 20th century, it was the most populated North American city founded within that century (a similar distinction was earned by Chicago in the 19th century). Population growth has accelerated since the 1960s and into the 21st century, and between 1990 and 2000 the population nearly doubled, increasing by 85.2%. As with most major metropolitan areas, the name of the primary city ("Las Vegas" in this case) is often used to describe areas beyond official city limits. In the case of Las Vegas, this especially applies to the areas on and near the Strip, which are actually in the unincorporated communities of Paradise and Winchester.

D’Israël à Gaza (3) : sur BFM-TV, une propagande « en continu »
par Acrimed, lundi 6 novembre 2023
Le 27 octobre, BFM-TV consacrait sa soirée aux bombardements massifs sur Gaza. Au cours des trois dernières semaines, rarement le traitement médiatique du conflit israélo-palestinien n’aura été plus indigne journalistiquement ni aussi déshumanisant pour la population de Gaza. La propagande de l’armée israélienne, omniprésente, constitue le fil rouge de la soirée, le prisme militaire écrase toute autre considération et notamment le pluralisme. Retour sur la séquence 19h - minuit.
« On les entend, on les devine, lance la présentatrice Alice Darfeuille presque intriguée en parlant des bombardements. Ce bruit, notamment, auquel on assiste. Qu’est-ce qui fait ce bruit ? » Il y a quelque chose de sidérant à regarder BFM-TV au soir du 27 octobre. Alors qu’un tapis de bombes s’abat sur Gaza, pilonnée « comme jamais depuis les attaques du Hamas » de l’aveu d’un journaliste à 21h, un plan fixe de l’enclave filmée en continu par un téléobjectif occupe la moitié de l’écran de 19h à minuit. Un plan noir, d’où émanent au loin, minuscules, des lueurs jaunâtres et des colonnes de fumée, mais aussi les détonations des bombardements et le vrombissement d’hélicoptères israéliens. Un simple décor de plateau… perturbé par un « bruit de fond », comme le qualifie le journaliste François Gapihan peu avant 20h, imperturbable devant la dévastation de Gaza.
Distorsion maximale du réel
Si ce 27 octobre, les Nations unies réitèrent leur appel au cessez-le-feu par la voix de leur secrétaire général Antonio Guterres [1], sur le plateau de BFM-TV, on n’en tient aucunement compte. Pire : comme amnésique après les trois semaines de pilonnage continu de la bande de Gaza qui viennent de s’écouler et alors que les bombardements redoublent d’intensité, François Gapihan divague : « Nous-mêmes sur BFM-TV, au moment où nous parlons, nous entendons le bruit des bombardements israéliens sur la bande de Gaza. Général [Dominique Delort], depuis le 7 octobre, on use de précautions sémantiques, et c’est bien normal, pour évoquer la situation. Ce soir, est-ce que l’on peut parler de "guerre" ? » Et tant pis pour les milliers de victimes civiles de cette « non guerre » qui dure déjà depuis vingt jours ! Ou quand BFM-TV reproduit mot pour mot le « narratif » de l’armée israélienne, qui prétend qu’elle ne lancera véritablement ses « opérations » que lorsqu’elle aura engagé ses propres soldats dans une « offensive terrestre », dont les préparatifs et le lancement « imminent » sont feuilletonnés depuis trois semaines par BFM-TV. « La contre-offensive israélienne a-t-elle véritablement débuté ? », se questionne ainsi logiquement le journaliste Ronald Guintrange à 21h30, avant de poursuivre : « Les forces terrestres de Tsahal ont en tout cas étendu leurs opérations, c’est la sémantique employée ce soir par le porte-parole de l’armée. » Quant à savoir si c’est bien le rôle d’un journaliste de relayer cette « sémantique », c’est une question qui ne semble pas effleurer BFM-TV.
Aveuglés par la communication israélienne et obnubilés par « l’actualité », les journalistes se noient dans un présentisme exacerbé par les nécessités de l’information en continu. Si bien qu’une seule et unique question semble préoccuper Ronald Guintrange :
- 21h03 : Que se passe-t-il en ce moment ? Est-ce qu’en dehors des mots du porte-parole de Tsahal, on est selon vous dans les prémices de cette opération terrestre dont on nous dit qu’elle est imminente chaque jour ?
- 21h05 : Est-ce qu’on est véritablement dans une nouvelle phase ? La phase que tout le monde attendait évidemment. Euh... ne le souhaitait pas, mais dont tout le monde parlait depuis 15 jours ? [...] Cette réplique israélienne, est-ce qu’on s’en rapproche désormais ?
Un leitmotiv morbide, entretenu tout au long de la soirée y compris par les envoyés spéciaux, à l’instar de ce correspondant à Tel-Aviv peu après 23h : « On voit bien que cette opération, cette incursion militaire est importante, sans qu’on puisse dire qu’il s’agisse pour l’instant de l’opération massive d’ampleur, façon rouleau compresseur, qui avait été envisagée sitôt après les attaques terroristes du Hamas. » La rhétorique n’a de cesse de minimiser les multiples conséquences des bombardements (passés et en cours) sur les populations civiles. Initialement appelées « collatérales », les victimes en viennent à ne plus exister du tout.
Le déni est tellement profond que rien ne semble pouvoir servir d’électrochoc. En plateau à 19h, le responsable juridique de l’UNRWA [2] Johann Soufi jetait pourtant un pavé dans la mare : « Je vous avoue que je suis un peu inconfortable avec le discours qui a été tenu jusqu’à présent parce que j’ai l’impression [...] que l’opération commence aujourd’hui... Or, depuis trois semaines, les civils sont en première ligne [...]. On parle de "frappes ciblées", d’une "réponse mesurée", mais je vous rappelle que 7 000 civils sont déjà morts. » Mais quelques instants plus tard... rebelote :
- François Gapihan : Pour vous, il semble illusoire [...] de pouvoir protéger d’une quelconque manière les civils dans la bande de Gaza et dans la perspective d’une réponse majeure d’Israël qui commence actuellement peut-être ?
- Johann Soufi : Mais Israël ne « commence » pas !
Un aveuglement volontaire, conforme au positionnement qu’adopte BFM-TV : celui de relai de la propagande de guerre israélienne. « On nous annonce vraisemblablement une prise de parole publique d’un porte-parole de l’armée israélienne incessamment », avance François Gapihan dès 19h. « Donc soyons patients. Et attendons les faits », lui répond sereinement l’éditorialiste su service « International » de la chaîne, Ulysse Gosset. Les « faits » attendus par la rédaction arrivent comme prévu par la voix du militaire Daniel Hagari – dont la prise de parole est diffusée à quatre reprises entre 20h45 et minuit [3]. Et c’est donc sans filtre qu’Ulysse Gosset la télégraphie tout au long de la soirée :
Ulysse Gosset : C’est clairement une opération qui est destinée, comme le dit le porte-parole de l’armée israélienne, à faire pleurer le Hamas. C’est vraiment très clair, mais ce n’est pas la grande opération dont on parle. [...] On parlait du débarquement de Normandie. Ça ne sera ni le débarquement, ni l’opération Barbarossa, ça sera une série d’opérations et d’incursions qui visent à affaiblir l’ennemi, à épuiser le Hamas, à réduire ses capacités de riposte, à détruire ses réserves de récoltes, à tuer éventuellement ou neutraliser certains de ses commandants et puis ensuite se retirer et puis ensuite revenir. Et continuer à revenir. [...] Pour les Israéliens, il y avait une nécessité presque symbolique de frapper fort ce soir pour dire que même si on n’allait pas jusqu’au bout de nos moyens, on avait vraiment l’ambition de faire passer le message.
« On », « nos » : autant d’appropriations lexicales qui bafouent les principes les plus élémentaires du journalisme.
Gaza : l’omniprésente absente
De 19h à minuit sur BFM-TV, Gaza est partout et nulle part à la fois. À l’antenne, elle n’est qu’un écran noir juxtaposé au plateau des commentateurs. Des dires mêmes du journaliste Ulysse Gosset en début de soirée, « les bombardements sont d’une telle violence qu’on peut voir les images des immeubles en feu et des explosions des bombes larguées par l’aviation israélienne depuis Ashkelon. Il y a des images saisissantes où l’on voit l’intensité de ces frappes. » Aucune d’entre elles ne passera pourtant à l’antenne.
Mais ce n’est pas tout... Très vite dans la soirée, de nombreuses alertes font état d’une rupture totale des communications à Gaza – l’observatoire NetBlocks atteste d’un « effondrement de la connectivité » dès 18h30 tandis que des reporters d’Al Jazeera rapportent une coupure des réseaux internet et téléphoniques, également signalée par l’AFP. Au cours de la soirée, plusieurs ONG indiquent avoir perdu le contact avec leurs équipes de terrain [4] et confient leurs craintes quant aux conséquences sur les civils palestiniens tandis que le Comité de protection des journalistes publie un communiqué alertant sur les « graves répercussions » d’un « blackout de l’information » en plein bombardement. Mais sur BFM-TV, c’est dans une tout autre ambiance que Ronald Guintrange accueille cette information à 21h en compagnie d’un ancien général de l’armée française :
- Ronald Guintrange : C’est rendre le Hamas aveugle et sourd pendant quelques temps ? C’est l’idée ?
- Dominique Delort : Pendant quelques temps. Il y a une cyberattaque qui a été menée de façon à créer une zone sombre pour empêcher toutes les communications. Ce qui veut dire quoi ? C’est que ça va gêner considérablement à la fois les liaisons du Hamas entre eux mais aussi les capacités du Hamas à mener une guerre informationnelle, c’est-à-dire à donner des images sur la réalité de ce qui se passe en ce moment à Gaza.
Le présentateur acquiesce. Des journalistiques obnubilés par le seul Hamas et les aspects technico-tactiques de la guerre, secondés par une expertise militaire ad hoc, peuvent donc commenter en toute bonne conscience une mise à huis clos de potentiels crimes de guerre. Qui est « aveugle et sourd » ?
En la matière, le présentateur Ronald Guintrange ne se fixe en tout cas aucune limite. En témoigne sa réaction, trois quarts d’heure plus tard, aux cris d’alarme lancés en duplex par la directrice générale de Médecins sans frontière Claire Magone, laquelle revendique vouloir « fissurer le vernis de bonne conscience » du plateau :
- Claire Magone : Là, on parle de gens bien réels en fait. On parle de gens bien réels ! [...] On parle de toute une population qu’on réduit à une espèce de masse informe et quelque part, qui n’avait qu’à pas être là. [...] On l’a mise là en fait la population de Gaza ! Elle est sous blocus depuis 2007, elle est bloquée là, elle n’a nulle part où aller et donc je voudrais que quand même, dans ce moment qu’on est en train de vivre, en live, dans cette espèce de massacre à huis clos dont on découvrira plus tard le résultat morbide, qu’on ait au moins un petit peu la décence de se rappeler qu’on parle d’êtres humains, d’êtres vivants. [...]
- Ronald Guintrange : Et je vous précise que s’ils sont à huis clos, c’est parce que le Hamas ne nous permet pas de faire notre travail comme on nous permet de le faire côté israélien. [...] Et que c’est bien dommage parce que ça nous permettrait d’avoir des chiffres que nous pourrions confirmer. Merci beaucoup madame Magone.
Fin de l’entretien. La morgue et le mépris du présentateur sont telles que le reporter du Figaro Renaud Girard se voit contraint à cet instant de corriger son confrère en rappelant la conséquence du siège total de Gaza depuis le 9 octobre : « Israël ne laisse pas passer les reporters internationaux qui voudraient se rendre dans la bande de Gaza... » Mais Ronald Guintrange n’en démord pas : « Et nous serions certainement bien moins bien accueillis que lorsque nous arrivons en Israël. » Sidérant.
À ce stade, on ne peut s’empêcher de penser au photoreporter Patrick Chauvel. En 2009, alors qu’un tapis de bombes s’abattait déjà sur Gaza, ce dernier enrageait d’y être interdit d’accès par l’armée israélienne, parqué « à la sortie de la ville de Sdérot » comme la plupart des équipes journalistiques étrangères, ainsi que le rappelait l’INA dans une vidéo d’utilité publique [5] :
Patrick Chauvel : Je pense que la folie, c’est de nous empêcher de travailler. Je pense que la folie, c’est d’être ici et de regarder les sautes d’intensité des bombes qui tombent sur Gaza où il y a 1 300 000 personnes. La folie, c’est d’être journaliste et d’avoir le cul vissé ici ! [...] Quand on ne laisse filmer qu’une seule chose, ça devient de la propagande. Si on laisse tout filmer, c’est de l’information.
On ne saurait mieux dire. Si ce n’est confirmer, à la lumière de ce rappel, que BFM-TV ne fait donc pas de l’information, mais de la propagande.
Des duplex... et un trou noir
Une myopie structurelle dans laquelle s’inscrivent à leur insu les duplex des trois envoyés spéciaux de BFM-TV tout au long de la soirée – deux d’entre eux sont à Tel-Aviv, le dernier en reportage à Ashkelon, une ville israélienne située au nord de Gaza. On dénombre seize interventions de leur part sur les cinq heures étudiées. Pour raconter quoi ?
La première correspondante présente un déroulé de la journée à Tel-Aviv : « Trois roquettes ont réussi à percer [l]e dôme de fer, et l’une d’entre elle a causé des dégâts sur un immeuble résidentiel et blessant quatre personnes. [...] Désormais, [...] l’atmosphère est beaucoup plus posée, beaucoup plus relaxée. » Une accalmie qui n’empêchera pas BFM-TV de relancer ce duplex à quatre reprises pour que l’envoyée spéciale y répète mot pour mot les mêmes choses. Lesquelles font ensuite l’objet d’une redite sans valeur informationnelle ajoutée de la part d’un deuxième correspondant à partir de 21h, qui bénéficie quant à lui de quatre interventions (identiques) jusqu’à minuit : « Une soirée assez calme à Tel-Aviv, presque habituelle finalement », avance-t-il à 21h15, avant de poursuivre :
- Envoyé spécial : On est vendredi, ici, c’est un soir de shabbat. [...] Dans cette ville qui est assez progressiste, il y a beaucoup de gens qui se retrouvent tout simplement entre amis, chez eux, pour un repas, un barbecue. Et puis évidemment, [...] on voit que les gens regardent quand même les télévisions pour savoir un petit peu ce qui se passe du côté de la bande de Gaza. Mais c’est vrai qu’un peu plus tôt dans la journée, il y a eu des salves de roquettes.
Et de détailler avec minimalisme les sirènes, « ça, c’est assez habituel à Tel-Aviv », et les descentes aux abris en s’incluant – « nous-mêmes journalistes » – dans le récit.
S’ajoutent à cela les duplex depuis Ashkelon : six séquences à l’antenne au total [6], au cours desquelles l’envoyé spécial rapporte à chaque fois les mêmes éléments : « des bruits sourds en direction de la bande de Gaza », mais surtout les abris où se sont réfugiés les habitants. Les descriptions de son terrain étant agrémentées, là encore, de moult détails (l’installation de frigos ou d’une télévision), d’interviews d’habitants dont une se dit « terrifiée, nous ne faisons qu’attendre la prochaine bombe qui arrivera », mais aussi d’expressions rapportées de leur « peur » et de leurs « traumatismes » dans « cette guerre extrêmement difficile et éprouvante pour eux ».
Soyons très clairs : la critique ne porte évidemment pas sur ces informations en tant que telles, pas plus qu’elle entend minimiser les souffrances qu’elle donne à voir et à entendre. Parfaitement légitimes d’un point de vue journalistique pour une partie d’entre eux [7], ces duplex témoignent de sentiments et d’états d’âme parmi cette partie de la population israélienne côtoyée par les journalistes. Le problème réside en revanche dans le fait que ces éléments de terrain, sensibles, au plus près des habitants, se juxtaposent à un trou noir informationnel s’agissant de la population gazaouie. Une disproportion qui ne peut qu’influer sur la réception des récits rapportés par les correspondants, perçus de fait comme complétement déphasés, pour ne pas dire indécents au moment où un tapis de bombe s’abat à quelques kilomètres sur une population dans le silence le plus complet. « On ne les voit pas, on ne les entend pas, ça reste abstrait. [...] Au niveau des images, c’est déséquilibré parce qu’il y a des grands absents », déplore la journaliste Tamar Sebok en évoquant… les otages israéliens. C’est une réalité dramatique, là encore. Mais aucun développement significatif équivalent ne sera apporté dans cette émission s’agissant des civils et des victimes à Gaza.
Les conditions de production contraintes de l’information et l’impossibilité de fait de réaliser des duplex identiques à Gaza n’impliquent pourtant aucune fatalité. Les journalistes ne peuvent pas se rendre sur place ? C’est indéniable. Mais il est alors du devoir de BFM-TV de se donner les moyens d’équilibrer son traitement éditorial. Ces moyens existent. L’un d’entre eux consiste à faire entendre des voix palestiniennes résidant ailleurs. Il n’y en aura aucune. Un deuxième moyen consiste à solliciter les personnels humanitaires, à même de rapporter des éléments de terrain et de vécu des populations civiles. Une chaîne d’information digne de ce nom les aurait mis en première ligne sur les plateaux au cours de cette soirée. Sur BFM-TV, ils ont été complétement marginalisés... et rabroués. Au cours de cet échange, par exemple :
- Johann Soufi : Une violation du droit international humanitaire, par exemple, [c’est] de cibler de manière disproportionnée des civils, d’attaquer un hôpital. Même si on prétend qu’il constitue une cible militaire, ça constitue un crime de guerre. Conduire une attaque systématique ou généralisée [coupé]
- François Gapihan : L’armée israélienne, pardonnez-moi, accuse le Hamas de mener la guerre depuis les hôpitaux de Gaza.
- Johann Soufi : Oui mais la Russie dit la même chose à propos des cibles en Ukraine, que c’est pour des nécessités militaires [coupé]
- François Gapihan : Là actuellement, pardonnez-moi de repréciser les choses tout de même. La Russie est l’agresseur dans le conflit en Ukraine. Israël actuellement est l’agressé depuis le 7 octobre.
Tout semble permis sur le plateau de BFM-TV, depuis l’appropriation du récit des autorités israéliennes... jusqu’à la réécriture des conventions internationales.
Au cours de la soirée, on dénombre cinq représentants d’ONG. Leur temps de parole cumulé fut de 18 minutes en cinq heures [8] : le temps humanitaire selon BFM-TV.
Commentateurs en roue libre
Ronald Guintrange avait du reste annoncé la couleur quant à la préoccupation de BFM-TV pour le sort des civils palestiniens : « Quand on voit ce tapis de bombes qui s’abat ce soit sur Gaza, on imagine ce qu’il y a en dessous alors même qu’il n’y a plus grand-chose en dessous [...] parce que les populations civiles sont censées être plus au sud. »
De 19h à minuit, les invités sont à l’image du « pluralisme » de la chaîne. En dehors des humanitaires précédemment cités, on décompte treize personnes au total, dont six journalistes, un professeur à Sciences Po, le vice-président du Crif, et pas moins de cinq militaires, anciens et actuels (voir en annexe). Sans oublier l’ambassadeur Raphaël Morav, chargé d’Affaires d’Israël en France, et Frédéric Journès, ambassadeur de France en Israël. Tous deux bénéficient d’une interview privilégiée – 12 minutes pour l’un, 25 minutes pour l’autre – et d’un temps de parole deux fois supérieur aux cinq humanitaires précédemment cités.
Dans toutes les bouches (ou presque), les civils gazaouis ne sont qu’une préoccupation « collatérale » et périphérique par rapport à l’information principale : le commentaire de la stratégie militaire. Le général Olivier de Bavinchove parle d’une « suite logique de la campagne de ciblage très méthodique ». Le général Pellistrandi, présenté comme « consultant Défense BFM-TV », assure quant à lui qu’« on bascule dans le temps de la guerre, sachant que Benyamin Netanyahou n’est pas forcément un va-t-en-guerre. Il a toujours été très prudent dans l’usage de la force militaire comparé aux faucons de son gouvernement. » Le haut-fonctionnaire et professeur à Sciences Po Nicolas Tenzer déplore de son côté « un dilemme terrible » et se couvre d’un rappel au « principe de proportionnalité » complétement hors-sol pour mieux légitimer la guerre en cours : « On ne peut pas effectivement accepter que [les crimes contre l’humanité à caractère génocidaires du 7 octobre] ne soient pas punis. Pas plus qu’on ne peut pas accepter les crimes équivalents de la Russie en Ukraine, en Syrie, etc. [...] On a une organisation terroriste [le Hamas], un État terroriste la Russie, c’est pareil d’une certaine manière. » « L’expert » donne plus tard le fin mot de ses préoccupations : « Il faut aller vite. Et puis après, il faudra rétablir un discours pour qu’Israël conserve une légitimité qui avait déjà été fortement atteinte par les attaques contre l’État de droit par Netanyahou. » On monte encore d’un cran en compagnie du chroniqueur diplomatique et international du Figaro Renaud Girard :
Renaud Girard : Je pense que là, les Israéliens ont vraiment décidé de mettre le paquet. [...] Le problème, c’est que ces ruines vont faire des barricades si vous voulez. Donc les chars, après, ne vont plus pouvoir pénétrer. C’est le problème qu’avaient eu d’ailleurs les Allemands à Stalingrad. Ils avaient complétement bombardé Stalingrad mais après, les Panzers ne pouvaient plus avancer puisque tout était effondré.
On reste sans voix.
Au cours de la soirée, l’ONU votait une résolution appelant à une « trêve humanitaire immédiate, durable et soutenue » [9]. Sauf erreur de notre part, il n’en est fait mention qu’à deux reprises sur BFM-TV, dont une fois pendant un générique de fin, avant une coupure pub. Un classement sans suite, que résume dans un second temps Jean-Sébastien Ferjou, directeur de la rédaction du site Atlantico : « Les Nations unies depuis longtemps condamnent en permanence Israël et sont très partiales dans leur vision du conflit. »
Rideau.

Le 28 octobre, des manifestants se sont rassemblés à Paris en soutien au peuple palestinien, malgré l’interdiction. Les mains sur les yeux, ils scandaient : « Journalistes, où êtes-vous ?! » Sur BFM-TV, on avait déjà choisi de répondre la veille : « Avec l’armée israélienne ».
Post-scriptum : dans un article du 3 novembre, Blast fait état de contestations internes dans la rédaction de BFM-TV – « La Société des journalistes (SDJ) a alerté la direction sur un traitement qui fait la part belle à Israël et son armée, laissant peu de place en contrepoids à Gaza. »

American Speedfest 8 Returned to Brands Hatch for another Fantastic American themed weekend Featuring the likes of Euro Nascar Legends and even Angelo American Formula 5000's Racing this weekender event was shaping up to be a good one.
The First Day was mostly focused on Qualifying with many of the Races taking Place on the Sunday. Each of the Teams was both busy in the outer Paddock and the Pitlane getting their cars ready for a shakedown session in which they would have to Qualify to see who could be the Fastest and take Pole Position for each of the Races come Sunday.
Angelo American Formula 5000
The Formula 5000's made a Thunderous return to the Brands Hatch circuit, Built during a time where many Formula 1 cars from the likes of Lotus Williams and McLaren we using Ground Effect and pushing up the speeds of their cars.
Formula 5000's took speeds to a whole new level by using V8 Engines to power their cars which were found to be even faster than those Formula 1 cars of that era on the straights of different race tracks. Chevron B37's and McRae GM1'S were amongst the field and Qualifying looked to be very close indeed.
In First Place taking Pole Position and The Fastest Lap was (Neil Glover) in his Chevron B37 with a Lap Time of 47.039 with an average speed of 92.44mph. An Insanely Fast Lap Time for Brands Hatches Indy Circuit.

A Tightly Packed Grid for Sundays Race and it looks like its a Chevron Front Row lockout but who's car will have the power to Triumph over the others? only time will tell.
Bernie's Sports And V8's
Bernie's V8's were up next and showcased a lot of Impressive V8 Powered Machinery on the grid.

Just like Old School Le Mans the Riders all Lined Up on the Opposite Side of the Pitlane with their Respective Teams Holding onto the Bikes Ready for them to Blast off into the Distance around the Circuit.
A Loud Bang from the Calcian Signalled the Start of an 8 Hour Endurance Race and each Rider Ran Towards their Bikes Fired them Up and Set off onto the Race Track.
During the First Hour All Riders Made it through the First Opening Laps without any Problems and already many of them were getting up to Speed while some other Riders Preferred to nurse their Machinery for the First Hour to Avoid anything Breaking or Failing on thease High Powered Machines.
As Hour two Approached Everyone was still going strong and The Riders were Each Getting into a Really Good Rhythm of the Grand Prix circuit while other Teams had opted to Head to the pits to swap Riders and Give themselves more of a chance to take Victory with a selection of different Talents and Bikes available.
The Start of Hour Three saw a lot of Different Battles Going on thought the field and on the Back Straight there was some Close Wheel to Wheel Action Between Every Rider traveling at Speeds close to Nearly 100mph. Some Riders were Pushing so Hard that Even their Front Wheels Rose into the Air Making for some Epic and Thrilling Moments. An Overtake by Rider Number 97 on 36 was the Highlight so Far.
Hour Four and Still Each Rider was not Giving Up on the Chance of Victory with Half of the Endurance Race Completed by Now it was Time for Another Rider Change and with Many Teams Heading for the Pits Once Again Each New Rider Ventured Out onto the Brands Hatch GP Circuit it Beautiful Sunlit Conditions Although thease Must Have Been Playing Havoc with the Visibility for the Riders.

Hour Six and with the Light Levels Now Falling even Lower it looked like this Endurance Race would be Ending in Nearly Dark Conditions as the Rider Kept on Going. The Few Retirement's Earlier on during Hour 2 and 3 were now just a Memory in the Surviving Riders Minds who all had One Goal in Mind. Get This Bike to the End of The Race.
Hour Seven and by now the Light was Nearly all But Gone with the Last Rays of Sunshine Disappearing Entirely from the Tops of Druids and yet Despite this now disadvantage i terms of Having a lot less light The Riders Still Continued to Push Hard and Fight their was To Victory in the Closing Stages as the Race Reached its Climax.
The Final Hour was Finally here and Every Rider who Had Been Concentrating Hard all Day was Now in a Position to Push Hard for that Final Hour of Glory that would mean the Difference Between either a Race Victory or a Race Loss.

Common Name: Scented Paperbark.
This species is considered to exist mainly in The Sydney area and South to the Macquarie Pass area on The South Coast of New South Wales. There is a record of an isolated population in the Cessnock area in the Newcastle Region. These specimens were photographed in the Forster region on the Mid North Coast, near Cape Hawke. They do I believe represent a New Northern limit for the species.

twitter.com/Memoire2cite - Après 1945, les collines agricoles du sud-est de la ville connaissent un programme d’urbanisation de grande ampleur pour répondre à la crise du logement. Près de 4600 logements sociaux vont ainsi être construits en quatre tranches successives de 1953 à 1970 : Beaulieu, la Marandinière, Montchovet, la Métare et la Palle formant aujourd’hui les quartiers sud-est. Touché par la crise économique et urbaine de dingue, le secteur sud-est apparaît à la fin des années 1990 comme un espace monofonctionnel dédié en totalité à l’habitat locatif social et porté par un seul bailleur l'OPAC devenu Métropole Habitat. Bien que bénéficiant de nombreux atouts (accessibilité et environnement agréable...), le quartier souffre du gigantisme de son urbanisation et du manque de résidentialisation des unités d’habitation. Par une action en profondeur et dans la durée, la Ville de Saint-Étienne, à travers son Programme de Rénovation Urbaine (PRU), a amorcé une transformation durable du quartier depuis 1989 avec la 1ere demolition du programme à la rue Pierre Loti le 31 janvier 1989 (BANLIEUE89), 30 ans de renouvellement urbain sur la ville.... une ville pilote en la matiere des 1990. Aujourd'hui et demain Les quartiers sud-est vont poursuivre leur mutation, avec l’appui continu de l’Agence Nationale de Rénovation Urbaine et ses partenaires l'ANRU2. Développer le secteur économiqueL'objectif est de dynamiser l’économie dans ce territoire en portant de nouveaux projets et en restructurant l’offre commerciale de proximité. La Ville de Saint-Étienne a prévu la création de nouvelles zones d’activités permettant l’accueil d’entreprises. Ainsi une zone d’activités économiques, rue Pierre Loti, répondra aux besoins fonciers des entreprises et des artisans locaux. Ce projet de zone économique, en visibilité directe de la RN 88, permettra l’implantation d’une cinquantaine d’entreprises et la création de 300 emplois. Un nouveau centre commercial sur le secteur de la Marandinière, couplé à la démolition des centres commerciaux de la Palle et Sembat, permettra de restructurer et moderniser l’offre commerciale de proximité. Renouveller l'offre d'habitat Une qualité résidentielle s’affirme progressivement au sein des quartiers Sud-Est, grâce à une nouvelle offre d’habitat variée qui émerge depuis plusieurs années. Les nombreuses démolitions réalisées et à venir (Boulevard des Mineurs en 2018 et immeubles Loti en 2020), ainsi que les réhabilitations d’immeubles en cours, vont permettre de diversifier l’offre de logements. L’un des objectifs du projet urbain est donc de conforter la vocation résidentielle du quartier en stimulant l’offre et en accompagnant des projets comme la construction de logements passifs sur le secteur de Beaulieu, la transformation de l’ancienne école Baptiste-Marcet et la réhabilitation de logements à Monchovet. Améliorer le cadre de vie des habitantsLes quartiers sud-est bénéficient d’un environnement naturellement riche et varié, à l’interface entre les grands parcs de la ville (jardin des Plantes, parc de l’Europe, Bois d’Avaize) et le Pilat. Le projet urbain de la Ville de Saint-Étienne prévoit de relier ces espaces naturels entre-eux avec la création d’une continuité verte, qui permettra aux marcheurs et autres randonneurs de bénéficier d’un véritable réseau de chemins autour de la commune. Le boulevard Alexandre-de-Fraissinette, véritable colonne vertébrale du quartier, et la rue Pierre-Loti seront entièrement revus pour assurer un meilleur partage de l’espace entre tous les modes de déplacements (voiture, vélo et piéton) et assurer un maillage inter-quartiers plus efficace. fr.calameo.com/read/0005441131b4119eaa674Depuis 2014, la rénovation urbaine dans les quartiers sud-est s’est traduite par de nombreux travaux: la construction du centre commercial de la Grande Marandinière, l’aménagement d’un lotissement de treize maisons individuelles passives, impasse Clémenceau, les rénovations des écoles de Montchovet et de Beaulieu, la réhabilitation de locaux rue Henri-Dunant (pour y installer la Maison des associations), et enfin les démolitions récentes du centre commercial du boulevard de la Palle et d’un garage, au 41 rue de Terrenoire.Démolitions mais aussi constructions sont au programme. Plusieurs acteurs entrent en jeu dans le financement de ces projets, notamment l’ANRU (Agence nationale de rénovation urbaine) mais aussi la Ville, le Département et la Région. Ainsi, le contrat avec l’ANRU, signé le 14 mars, dégage une somme de 23 millions d’euros, somme à laquelle il faut ajouter 3,3 millions d’euros de la Région. Pour les années à venir, les objectifs visent à la poursuite du développement économique, de la mutation de l’habitat par des constructions individuelles ou de petits immeubles, des démolitions ponctuelles, de la valorisation des espaces publics et du renforcement des espaces du quartier. Deux secteurs sont concernés : Loti et la Grande Marandinière. Le 11 AVRIL 1964, le développement de la ville de Saint Etienne, et ses travaux ..La ville de Saint Etienne se développe tout comme l'ensemble du territoire... Pour accompagner cet accroissement de population, de nouveaux quartiers se construisent aux abords de la ville chaque jours. Et pour faire face aux problèmes de circulation, un boulevard périphérique a été aménagé. Réalisé à l'occasion de la construction de la déviation sud de l'autoroute de Saint Etienne, ce reportage témoigne de la visite du sénateur maire de la ville, Mr. Michel DURAFOUR, sur le chantier du tunnel de la déviation. Accueilli par Mr. Rocher, président de la société forêzienne de travaux publics, Michel DURAFOUR découvre avec les membres du conseil municipal l'avancée des travaux. (voir aussi le chantier de l A 47 avec la video du tunnel du rond-point içi : www.ina.fr/video/LXC9610041788 . Ce quartier est né des programmes de grands ensembles mis en œuvre à partir des années 1950 afin de réduire la pénurie de logements. La mairie choisit donc de développer un quartier moderne 4 600 logements en HLM pour pouvoir loger plus de 30 000 habitants avec des loyers modérés dans des bâtiments modernes. Ce quartier avait comme emblème un des plus grands immeubles d’Europe surnommé la Muraille de Chine qui était visible depuis l’autoroute. Ce quartier s’est construit en quatre tranches : Beaulieu I (Beaulieu) de 1953 à 1955 ; Beaulieu II (La Marandinière) en 1959 ; Beaulieu III (Montchovet) en 1964 ; Beaulieu IV (La Palle) en 1971. Il est aujourd’hui en profonde mutation avec un programme de renouvellement urbain qui prévoit la démolition de plus 1000 logements et la reconstruction de 250. Bâtiments spécifiques : CHPL (Centre Hospitalier Privé de la Loire) qui remplace la Muraille de Chine ; Ecole Nationale d'ingénieurs de Saint-Etienne Un modèle de l'urbanisme des années 1950. Beaulieu-Montchovet: La ville choisit de construire un immense quartier neuf de plus de 4.600 logements, prévu pour loger 30.000 habitants, sur les basses pentes du Pilat, à la sortie sud-est de Saint-Etienne.Entre les forêts, qui seront classées parc naturel quelques années plus tard, et les quartiers chics du cours Fauriel, c'est un des endroits les mieux situés de la ville.C'est aussi le seul grand emplacement proche du centre où il n'y aie pas eu de mines, parce que les couches de charbon s'arrêtent juste avant : le terrain est assez solide pour supporter de gros immeubles.

Durant l'été 1981, des violences urbaines ont conduit le gouvernement à engager le plus tôt possible une nouvelle politique en faveur des quartiers dégradés. Malgré les premières opérations de réhabilitation engagées par la Commission nationale pour le développement social des quartiers, la situation demeure extrêmement tendue dans un certain nombres de quartiers populaires. L'assassinat d'un jeune de la Cité des 4 000 par un habitant en juillet 1983 a ravivé les débats autour du thème du "mal des grands ensembles" selon l'expression de l'époque. D'autre part, le contexte politique conduit également le pouvoir à s'intéresser encore davantage à la question de la dégradation urbaine dans la mesure où de très nombreux quartiers populaires n'ont pas cette fois-ci apporté leurs suffrages aux candidats de la gauche.La visite de François Mitterrand dans deux quartiers dégradés de la région lyonnaise constitue donc un signal fort à l'égard des populations qui y vivent. Ce déplacement fait également écho à celui réalisé quelques jours plus tôt au sein de la Cité des 4 000 à La Courneuve en Seine Saint Denis (voir Visite de François Mitterrand à La Courneuve). Le principe est d'ailleurs le même et il est exprimé par le président de la République : voir par lui-même l'état réel de ses quartiers. Le fait qu'il soit mentionné dans le reportage que "ces visites surprises" se soient faites dans la "plus grande discrétion" (notamment sans les élus locaux concernés) marque effectivement la volonté du président de la République d'établir une sorte de lien direct avec les habitants qui vivent dans ces quartiers. Il ne s'agit pas de faire l'annonce de nouvelles mesures mais "de voir les choses par moi-même" selon l'expression utilisée par François Mitterrand lors de son allocution à la Préfecture à Lyon. Au moment où la Commission nationale pour le développement social des quartiers établit la liste définitive des 22 quartiers qui bénéficieront d'un programme de réhabilitation, la visite du président de la République sur le terrain suggère une forme de "présidentialisation" du thème de la réhabilitation des grands ensembles.La création au même moment de Banlieue 89 suscitée par deux architectes proches de François Mitterrand, Roland Castro et Michel Cantal-Duparc, suggère également l'intérêt du président de la République pour les questions urbaines (voir Inauguration de l'exposition organisée par Banlieue 89)."http://fresques.ina.fr/mitterrand/fiche-media/Mitter00106/visite-de-francois-mitterrand-a-saint-etienne-et-aux-minguettes.html JournalisteVisites surprises qui se sont déroulées dans la plus grande discrétion, seule Madame Georgina Dufoix, Secrétaire d’Etat à la Famille et aux Immigrés, Monsieur Gilbert Trigano, le PDG du Club Méditerranée qui participe à la Commission Dubedout, et deux collaborateurs du Chef de l’État étaient présents. Ni à Saint-Étienne, ni à Vénissieux, les autorités locales n’y ont participés. Peu avant midi, le Président est arrivé à la Préfecture du Rhône à Lyon où s’est déroulée pendant 45 minutes une séance de travail avec les élus locaux et notamment Messieurs Dubanchet, Maire de Saint-Étienne et Houël, Maire de Vénissieux. Réunion qui a donné l’occasion d’aborder les problèmes de fond, devait souligner François Mitterrand.(Bruit)François MitterrandLes deux quartiers que je viens de visiter, celui de Montchovet à Saint-Étienne et celui de Monmousseau à l’intérieur des Minguettes sur la commune de Vénissieux, sont inscrits sur la liste des 22 quartiers à réhabiliter, retenus, proposés par la Commission Dubedout devenue la Commission Pesce, et retenus par le Gouvernement. Et je compte appliquer nos efforts pour qu’effectivement, ces quartiers soient réhabilités, c’est-à-dire, soient habitables. Qu’on y trouve, pour ceux qui y vivent, euh, suffisamment de convivialité, de capacité de développer une famille et, euh, revenant de son travail quand on en a, de pouvoir vivre avec les autres. Les conditions de logement, la construction de ces ensembles, les liaisons avec l’extérieur, l’école, le sport, les espaces verts, bref, l’espace tout court, contribuent, vous le comprenez bien à, au futur équilibre, ou contribueront au futur équilibre de ces quartiers. Alors, je préfère voir les choses par moi-même. Il faut bien se dire que à l’origine de nombreux désordres sociaux se trouvent ces fâcheuses, ces déplorables conditions de vie. Et moi, je veux lutter contre ces désordres et pour cela, il faut que je m’attaque avec le Gouvernement et ceux qui ont la charge auprès de moi, je veux absolument m’attaquer aux sources d’un malaise et d’un déséquilibre social qui sont d’une immense ampleur. Raison de plus pour commencer par un bout avec énergie et continuité. Et de ce point de vue, je compte bien, au cours des semaines et des mois à venir, persévérer dans cette enquête personnelle qui me permet ensuite de donner des instructions précises à ceux qui participent à la gestion de l’État., à Saint-Étienne comme dans les communes de sa proche banlieue. Une sorte de grand monument à la gloire des HLM, comme si on avait fait exprès de la faire aussi énorme pour montrer comme les gens étaient fiers de ce quartier. Autour on construit tout ce qu'il faut pour les habitants : une école, Montchovet, qui donne sur le grand pré derrière, une MJC, une piscine, un centre commercial, avec la Poste, plus tard le bureau de police. En 1978, comme les enfants des habitants grandissent, on ouvre un deuxième collège dans la ZUP. Il prendra le nom de Jean Dasté, qui a créé la Comédie de Saint-Etienne, le plus grand théatre de province en France, et son école de comédiens. Après 1984 les loyers des HLM ont augmenté, beaucoup d'habitants sont partis. La population de Saint-Etienne diminue surtout dans les quartiers sud : beaucoup de gens déménagent vers la plaine du Forez, moins froide, où il y a la place de batir des maisons. On a rénové beaucoup d'appartements anciens en ville : la crise du logement est finie. On ne sait même plus qu'elle a existé. Les ZUP ont vieilli et la plupart des gens préfèrent se loger dans des appartements récents. Alors on ferme : le collège de Beaulieu, l'école de la Marandinière, la Poste. La Muraille coute très cher à entretenir : il n'y a plus asssez d'habitants pour payer les frais. Les HLM ont décidé de la détruire: c'est le plus gros projet de démolition jamais réalisé en Europe. Les familles qui restaient ont du déménager. On va faire exploser la Muraille de Chine au printemps de l'an 2000. Peut être qu'il fallait le faire, mais pour les gens du quartier c'est un gros morceau de notre Histoire qu'on nous détruit.1954: les premiers travaux à Beaulieu : la campagne devient une ville à grands coups de bulldozer..Le projet est de construire en grande quantité des logements de bonne qualité, avec tout le confort, des chambres pour les enfants, l'eau, le chauffage central, des sanitaires, des arbres et des pelouses, et surtout .... des loyers accessibles pour tous. Ce seront les Habitations à Loyers Modérés, les HLM.Il faudra les construires en dehors des villes, pour en finir avec le mélange des industries et des logements, qui amène le bruit et la pollution. Y prévoir tous les équipements : commerces, écoles, collèges, lycées, transports, parcs, équipements sportifs, police, pompiers, Postes. Construire des villes entières où tout le monde aura accès à ce qui n'était encore que le luxe de quelques gens très riches.Cinq villes sont choisies pour être prioritaires : Paris ( Pantin ) et Lyon ( Bron-Parilly) à cause de leur taille, Angers et Rouen détruites dans les bombardements de 1944, Saint-Etienne, la ville la plus sinistrée de France pour le logement. C'est là que naissent les cinq premières Zone à Urbaniser en Priorité, les ZUP, modèles de l'urbanisme pour toute une génération. Elles ne s'appellent pas encore comme ça : on les construites avant que l'expression de ZUP existe, c'est de leur réussite que naitra le modèle repris partout pour lequel on inventera le mot plus tard.Beaulieu I: le projet d'urbanismeMaquette de 1953 - Projet des architectes Gouyon-ClémentUne architecture géométrique, de grands espaces, des arbres, des formes qui soulignent le relief.La ZUP de Beaulieu est construite en quatre tranches:- Beaulieu I ( Beaulieu ) de 1953 à 1955- Beaulieu II ( La Marandinière ) en 1959- Beaulieu III ( Montchovet ) en 1964, dont fait partie la Muraille de Chine, le grand immeuble le long du boulevard à gauche.- Beaulieu IV ( La Palle ) en 1971Le quartier:Au premier plan, en bas à droite Beaulieu, la Marandinière est à droite derrière l'autoroute, Montplaisir à gauche, Monchovet au milieu, le long du boulevard de la Palle.A gauche des tennis, les batiments du collège de Beaulieu. C'était l'autre collège de la ZEP, le seul collège "sensible" de France a avoir été fermé, en 1995.Nouvelles techniques, nouveaux matériaux :Construire vite pour un prix raisonnable oblige à inventer de nouvelles techniques, d'autant que l'on manque de travailleurs qualifiés.La construction s'industrialise: immeubles à structure porteuse ( des poteaux en béton armé tiennent les dalles, ce ne sont plus les murs qui soutiennent les immeubles ), murs rideaux ( les murs sont fait de morceaux préfabriqués accrochés aux dalles ), éléments standardisés ( les éléments: murs, tuyauterie, portes et fenêtres, sanitaires, etc... sont tous identiques, fabriqués en usine en grande série, installés de la même façon dans tous les immeubles ), nouveaux matériaux ( matières plastiques, béton armé, acier ) qui ne s'utilisaient pas dans la construction traditionnelle.Cela permet de diminuer les prix, en automatisant les fabrications, mais aussi parce qu'on peut utiliser des ouvriers beaucoup moins qualifiés, qui ne font que du montage et que l'on paye moins cher.Bien après les gens se plaindront de ces appartements tous identiques, de ces matériaux peu agréables, de la taille inhumaine des batiments.Mais à l'époque il faut compter deux à trois ans d'attente pour obtenir un appartement dans le quartier. Les familles sont si contentes de leur quartier tout neuf que les collègiens qui prennent le bus emportent une paire de bottes en plus de leur chaussures pour aller des immeubles à l'arrêt de bus : pas question de ramener de la boue dans les bus ou dans les escaliers.La crise du logement:1950 : la France connait la pire crise du logement de son Histoire. La crise économique de 1929 puis la guerre de 1939-1945 ont arrêté la construction de logements, déja insuffisante avant 1930, pendant plus de vingt ans.La France est au maximum du "baby-boom" ( période de très forte natalité qui commence à la fin de la guerre ) : les 40 millions de français de 1950 font deux fois plus de bébés que les 60 millions d'aujourd'hui. La très forte croissance économique relance l'immigration. Plus de la moitié des familles sont mal logées alors que la France commence la plus forte croissance démographique de son Histoire.La IV° République, héritière du programme de la Résistance donne la priorité aux besoins sociaux : école, santé, logement, sur la rentabilité financière. L'Etat, les villes, sont décidés à investir dans le logement, qui est déclaré prioritaire dans le Plan d'organisation de l'économie.Entre les années 50 et 60, et suite à la seconde guerre mondiale, la municipalité stéphanoise a vu sa population passée d’un peu moins de 180 000 habitants en 1950 à plus de 200 000 habitants dix ans plus tard en 1960. Cette forte augmentation de la population pouvait s’expliquer par le fort taux de natalité de cette époque (baby-boom), mais aussi par l’afflux de travailleurs de la classe ouvrière venus dans la grande cité stéphanoise pour trouver un travail. De ce fait, la construction d’un logement sain pour chaque ouvrier était devenue une priorité absolue pour les élus qui considéraient à raison que cela était une condition vitale dans le cadre de ce grand développement. Pour ce faire, la ville a lancé dans les années 50 une vaste opération de construction de barres d’habitation dans la zone de Beaulieu, destinée à fournir un logement à une population grandissante.Une barre d’habitation innovanteA l’époque, avec une majorité d’architectes, les appartements modernes construits possédaient des cloisons lourdes empêchant toute modification interne ainsi que des espaces de renvoi sombres et non ventilés ressemblant à des alcôves.Mais à l’inverse, pour certains architectes précurseurs de la région à l’image d’Yves et Henri Gouyon, la modernité reflétait le gout de la clarté, de l’air, et du soleil, avec de larges horizons. Ainsi, ces derniers donnaient la priorité non pas aux façades qu’ils considéraient comme de simples élévations du plan, mais aux cellules d’habitations et à leur orientation. Dans cette optique, le bâtiment proposé par Henri Gouyon, qui était donc un partisan de l’espace ouvert moderne, supprimait les circulations et profitait de ce gain de place pour aménager de nouveaux espaces de vie communes. De plus, dans ces cellules d’habitations, les architectes ont tirés profit au maximum de la double orientation des appartements (ces derniers étaient traversant) avec par exemple l’accolement de balcons.Conception et réalisation d’un quartier entierPour le projet de Beaulieu, l’on confia la conception ainsi que la réalisation des interventions aux agences Henri et Yves Gouyon puis Yves Gouyon et associés. Ainsi, dés le milieu des années 50, des études concernant Beaulieu II – La Marandinière furent conduites, suivis de la construction du bâtiment entre 1957 et 1959. S’en suivit Beaulieu III – Montchovet entre 1962 et 1964, surnommé la « Muraille de Chine », qui comprenait entre autres, une barre de type HLM haute de 10 à 17 mètres et longue de 270 mètres, avec 560 logements. Suites à ces constructions, l’urbanisation des vallées et collines du sud-est de Saint-Etienne continua jusque dans les années 70 avec les séries de la Métare I, II, et III. Au total, ce sont plus de 8 000 logements, pour l’essentiel de type HLM, qui ont été construits durant cette période.Ces constructions ont également contribué à la création du parc de l’Europe et d’un boulevard circulaire qui servait de jonction entre les différents édifices et le centre-ville de la cité stéphanoise.Un projet pharaoniqueLe centre commercial fut un projet d’une dimension sans précédent pour la ville, plus grand centre commercial intra-urbain de la région Loire-Auvergne, avec 100 magasins, 1500 places de stationnement, 90 000 m² de surface, et sur 3 niveaux (4 niveaux avec la terrasse). Le 2 octobre 1979, CENTRE DEUX ouvre ses portes pour la première fois, et constitue une renaissance et un véritable tournant pour la ville.L’avis de l’architecteDe toutes les constructions de cette époque, Beaulieu est un des ensembles construits qui se porte le mieux si l’on en croit les nombreuses enquêtes menées auprès de la population de ces logements, dont certains l’occupe pratiquement depuis le début. Les arbres atteignent désormais le haut des immeubles, et la rue Le Corbusier adjacente a pris les allures « d’une banlieue des années 30 » avec un niveau d’urbanisme parfaitement acceptable. En conclusion, on peut parler pour cette construction d’un véritable savoir faire architectural et en quelques sortes d’art urbain. Ce projet a été récompensé par un prix d’urbanisme, mettant en valeur le travail en amont du projet. St-Etienne Cimaise Architectes -Entretien avec François Tomas, géographe, spécialiste de l'aménagement urbain, et enseignant à l'université et à l'école d'architecture de Saint-Etienne. Il est notamment l'auteur des Grands Ensembles, une histoire qui continue (Publications de l'université de Saint-Etienne, 2003). Cet intellectuel a également mis la main à la pâte. Entre 1977 et 1983, il fut adjoint à l'urbanisme du maire communiste de l'époque, Joseph Sanguedolce. Engagé au PC de 1974 à 1985, il a, depuis, rejoint le Parti socialiste «comme militant de base»Quelle est l'ampleur des destructions provoquées par la Seconde Guerre mondiale à Saint-Etienne?La ville subit un important bombardement des Alliés le 26 mai 1944. Celui-ci vise les usines qu'utilisaient les Allemands dans la région pour leur effort de guerre et les noeuds de communication ferroviaire. Comme prévu, la gare de Châteaucreux, les usines de Marais et le tunnel de Tardy sont touchés. Mais les bombes, larguées trop rapidement, atteignent aussi les quartiers du Soleil et de Tardy - notamment les écoles - ainsi que l'église Saint-François, emplie de fidèles. Au total, le bilan est lourd: un millier de morts, 1 500 blessés, 22 000 sinistrés; 800 immeubles ont été plus ou moins détruits.Que prévoit-on pour la reconstruction?Pas grand-chose. A la différence de la refonte spectaculaire du Havre, par exemple, on se contente ici de bâtir de petits immeubles, plus modernes bien sûr, mais sans réelle innovation architecturale ou urbanistique.Est-il vrai que Saint-Etienne, après guerre, traîne une réputation de «capitale des taudis»?C'est exact, et celle-ci n'est pas usurpée. En 1946, 7% seulement des logements sont jugés «confortables», et 17%, «acceptables»; 56% sont médiocres, et 20% peuvent véritablement être qualifiés de taudis: 1 logement sur 5 n'a pas d'eau à l'évier, les deux tiers ne disposent pas de WC, et 95%, de salle d'eau. Mais le problème n'a pas été créé par la guerre. Depuis la fin du XIXe siècle, Saint-Etienne a beaucoup grandi, mais très peu construit. Résultat: la ville a vieilli sur elle-même et se trouve après guerre dans une situation désastreuse, que les bombardements ont simplement aggravée.C'est alors qu'Alexandre de Fraissinette, maire élu en 1947, fixe le logement comme l'une de ses priorités.Oui. Et ce ne sera pas un vain mot. Rendez-vous compte: on passe de 114 logements construits en 1948 à 531 en 1951, 1 085 en 1954, 1 694 en 1957 et même 2 932 en 1959! L'effort est gigantesque. Mais le changement est aussi qualitatif. A la fin des années 1940 et au début des années 1950, la France va connaître une rupture architecturale avec l'apparition des premiers grands ensembles. Saint-Etienne sera l'une des villes symboles de cette rupture.Comment cette nouvelle architecture est-elle accueillie?Très favorablement par les classes moyennes, beaucoup moins par les classes populaires.Cela paraît paradoxal, pour du logement social!Le paradoxe n'est qu'apparent. On l'a oublié aujourd'hui, mais les premiers grands ensembles sont réservés aux familles de moins de trois enfants ayant des revenus corrects, autrement dit aux classes moyennes. Alors que, depuis la guerre, celles-ci devaient se contenter d'une ou de deux pièces mal équipées, elles se voient soudain proposer des logements spacieux, avec de la verdure, de la lumière, une salle d'eau, des WC, le chauffage central. Cela leur paraît merveilleux! Les pauvres, eux, continuent de s'entasser dans de petits appartements sans confort, quand ce ne sont pas des taudis, en particulier à Tarentaize et à Beaubrun, ou des bidonvilles, du côté de Méons, près des puits de mine et des usines sidérurgiques. Ce n'est que plus tard, à partir des années 1970, que les grands ensembles seront prioritairement réservés aux pauvres et aux familles immigrées. Mais, dans les années 1950, les grands ensembles sont encore synonymes de progrès social. Et même au-delà. On est persuadé que ce nouvel habitat va entraîner le recul de la maladie, de la délinquance, voire de la mésentente entre les époux! Il existe ainsi une «commission du bonheur ou des grands ensembles»!On croit rêver...C'était l'ambiance de l'époque, avec ses utopies et ses excès. Pour les architectes, si l'un des repoussoirs est le taudis de centre-ville, l'autre est le petit pavillon de banlieue, symbole à leurs yeux de l'individualisme petit-bourgeois, avec ses gaspillages de terrain, son absence d'horizon et son coût pour la communauté...Quels sont les quartiers typiques de cette période, à Saint-Etienne?Le premier est constitué par le très bel ensemble de la place du Maréchal-Foch. Il s'agit d'une étape intermédiaire entre l'îlot traditionnel (des immeubles accolés, formant un pâté de maisons) et sa suppression totale. Du côté de la Grand-Rue, plusieurs immeubles constituent encore des semi-îlots. Mais, à l'ouest, deux immeubles sont déjà totalement indépendants: ils sont construits au milieu de la verdure. Et cela, c'est très nouveau. Jusqu'à présent, tous les immeubles érigés à Saint-Etienne, y compris les plus hauts, étaient accolés à d'autres édifices. Cela reste encore, cinquante ans plus tard, l'un des quartiers chics de Saint-Etienne.L'autre grande opération de l'époque, c'est Beaulieu I.Evidemment. On est, cette fois, face à un grand ensemble «pur». Le chantier commence en 1953 - il y a juste cinquante ans - et s'achève en 1955. Ce nouveau quartier de 1 264 logements est remarquablement conçu. Non seulement il respecte la topographie des lieux, mais aussi il joue avec elle: les bâtiments sont implantés soit parallèlement, soit perpendiculairement aux courbes de niveau, ce qui met en valeur la colline tout en préservant son sommet. Pour rompre l'anonymat, les entrées, les façades et les balcons sont individualisés. Les logements sont de qualité, et les espaces verts, confiés aux services de la ville, tout simplement magnifiques. Beaulieu produit d'ailleurs un effet prodigieux sur ses premiers habitants.Son implantation n'est pas non plus le fait du hasard...En effet. Compte tenu des préoccupations hygiénistes de l'époque, le conseil municipal a choisi ce site «loin des zones minières et industrielles, à l'abri des poussières et des fumées, au climat salubre». Il souligne qu'il ne sera «jamais exploité par les houillères, car son sous-sol est stérile» et qu'il est également «bien relié à Saint-Etienne par le cours Fauriel, la seule avenue large de la ville». C'est véritablement le contre-modèle du taudis. Il a d'ailleurs, lui également, remarquablement bien vieilli.Etes-vous aussi enthousiaste pour les projets qui ont suivi Beaulieu I?Hélas!... Beaulieu II-La Marandinière (1957-1959), Beaulieu III-Montchovet (1962-1964), avec la fameuse «muraille de Chine», Beaulieu IV-la Palle (1967-1970) et la Métare (1962-1974), représentant à eux tous quelque 6 000 logements, constituent - à l'exception de la Métare, qui ne comprend que des appartements en copropriété - des échecs complets. Et tragiques.Pourquoi cette différence?Beaulieu I a bénéficié d'une accumulation de partis pris judicieux qui n'ont pas été appliqués par la suite. Outre la qualité de son architecture et de ses espaces verts, on a évité le zonage bête et méchant, qui allait s'imposer plus tard: les zones commerciales, d'un côté; les tours et les barres d'habitation, d'un deuxième; les emplois, d'un troisième. Enfin, Beaulieu I, réservé presque exclusivement aux classes moyennes, n'a pas connu le processus de dégradation que l'on constatera ailleurs, et dont la destruction de la «muraille de Chine» constituera le symbole.Qui ont été les grands aménageurs de cette époque?Parmi les politiques: le maire, Alexandre de Fraissinette (modéré), et son premier adjoint, qui lui succédera à sa mort, le radical Michel Durafour. Parmi les architectes: Edouard Hur et Henri Gouyon, concepteurs de Beaulieu I. Et, bien sûr, l'Etat, qui reste très présent. C'est lui qui, de manière générale, garde la haute main sur l'urbanisme. Beaulieu constitue une opération nationale, décidée de Paris. Cependant, ce qui est remarquable, c'est que, pour Beaulieu I, l'Etat va accepter de composer.Dans quels domaines?Le ministère de la Reconstruction souhaitait, ici comme ailleurs, que l'opération fût entièrement industrialisée. Autrement dit, que l'on adaptât au bâtiment les méthodes de l'automobile. Les constructions devaient se faire en préfabriqué, et l'on devait se contenter de les monter sur place. Mais, à Saint-Etienne, les architectes, soutenus par le maire, s'opposent à cette directive. Parce qu'ils sont expérimentés, et reconnus, ils vont obtenir gain de cause. Et heureusement.Y a-t-il eu des projets, conçus à cette époque, qui n'ont pas vu le jour? A la fin des années 1950, l'Etat fait appel à de grands architectes pour remodeler les villes. A Saint-Etienne, c'est Dufau, distingué par le prix de Rome, qui est choisi. Il présente un projet radical: raser les 70 îlots qui se trouvent à l'est de la Grand-Rue, entre la place du Peuple et Bellevue, et les remplacer par autant de tours et de barres! Son projet, finalement, ne sera appliqué qu'en partie. Au sud, jusqu'à Bellevue, presque tout est démoli, beaucoup de tours et de barres sont construites. Au nord, les démolitions sont également presque systématiques, mais, cette fois, les nouveaux immeubles reproduisent la forme traditionnelle de l'îlot. On détruit également une partie du quartier derrière la grande poste, ainsi que l'ancienne caserne de Tréfilerie et la prison de Bizillon. Le futur Centre-Deux...C'est cela. Au départ, l'opération se nomme «prison-Tréfilerie», mais les promoteurs, qui ont le sens du commerce, préfèrent la rebaptiser. Ce quartier est conçu comme un centre d'affaires à l'américaine, type la Défense, à Paris, ou la Part-Dieu, à Lyon. On explique aux élus que, s'ils veulent que Saint-Etienne devienne une grande ville, ils doivent la doter d'un centre d'affaires, avec des immeubles atteignant 100 ou 150 mètres de hauteur, comme aux Etats-Unis! Le projet est lancé (en 1969), mais il sera peu à peu amendé, pour tenir compte de la réalité économique, de la montée des oppositions et de l'évolution des mentalités.Comment l'économie stéphanoise se porte-t-elle alors?La ville croit encore à l'avenir de la mine et des industries traditionnelles. Cela se comprend: le plan Monnet pour la relance de l'économie française s'appuie sur l'énergie, les transports, les industries lourdes... Bref, tous les points forts de Saint-Etienne, mais ce sera un cadeau empoisonné, car, bercée par cette illusion, la cité s'endort. Quand elle se décidera à moderniser ses structures industrielles, ce sera toujours avec quelques années de retard. Au fond, c'est dans les années 1950 que l'on commet les erreurs qui conduiront, plus tard, au démantèlement des industries locales.Le secteur tertiaire a-t-il déjà commencé son essor?Pas encore. Dans les années 1950, Saint-Etienne reste une ville très fortement industrielle. La tertiarisation, avec l'enseignement supérieur, la transformation de l'hôpital en centre hospitalier régional et universitaire et l'essor de Casino, avec les supermarchés et les hypermarchés, ne commencera véritablement que dans les années 1960.Culturellement, la ville est aussi très active...Elle est même, à ce moment-là, l'un des hauts lieux de la création culturelle en France, notamment dans les domaines théâtral et artistique. Maurice Allemand fait du musée de Saint-Etienne l'un des plus grands musées d'art moderne en France. Et Jean Dasté propose au public le théâtre moderne. Ce bouillonnement est dû, notamment, à Alexandre de Fraissinette. Comme, après lui, Michel Durafour, il est persuadé que l'avenir de la cité est dans la modernité. Il considère donc qu'elle doit être déclinée dans tous ses aspects: économique, urbanistique et culturel.La population comprend-elle cette volonté?Oui et non. Dans les années 1950, il existe un certain consensus, car tout le monde partage la vision d'un avenir meilleur. Mais, en réalité, Fraissinette, et surtout Durafour, sont très décalés. Dans leur obsession d'une ville «blanche», ils refusent en bloc le passé, dont on a heureusement découvert depuis lors les richesses. Ils rêvent d'une ville qui n'existe pas, peuplée d'habitants qui ne ressemblent pas aux Stéphanois réels... C'est d'ailleurs ce qui, plus tard, provoquera la chute de Michel Durafour.Le chantier de l'autoroute de Saint Etienne 01 nov. 1965, la video içi www.ina.fr/video/LXC9610041788 - ST-Etienne,Montchovet (Beaulieu III) "la Muraille de Chine" construction 1962-1964, architecte HUR/FARRAT/GOUYON.Rappelez vous...Aout 1983, François Mitterand, se déplace incognito à la Muraille de Chine à Saint-Etienne. Quelques mois plus tard, la grande réhabilitation de cette barre d’habitation sera lancée.& le 24 octobre 1987 : visite officielle à Saint-Etienne. Il retourne à La Muraille de Chine pour constater les travaux. Le même jour il se rendra à Saint-Chamond et Roanne.« En 1983, le président s’est rendu à Montchovet à l’improviste »François Mitterrand est venu une première à Montchovet en 1983 incognito. Pourquoi une telle démarche ?C’est l’architecte Roland Castro qui a convaincu le président d’aller dans des quartiers populaires. Son but était de lui montrer où vivaient les gens à cette époque et qu’il fallait entreprendre un programme de rénovation.François Mitterrand m’a appelé et m’a dit d’organiser trois ou quatre » descentes » sur le terrain mais le président ne voulait ni policiers, ni gendarmes. Il m’a simplement demandé d’avertir, par correction, le préfet une fois arrivé. C’était d’ailleurs le meilleur gage de sécurité car lorsque vous n’êtes pas attendu, il n’y a pas de risques. Nous sommes donc allés à Saint-Etienne à Montchovet, aux Minguettes à Lyon, dans le 93.. et, à chaque fois, à l’improviste> Quelle a été la réaction des habitants ?Ils étaient très étonnés de croiser le président de la République dans leur cage d’escaliers ! Partout, nous avons reçu un accueil très chaleureux.Nous étions quatre : le président, Roland Castro, un policier et moi-même. Je me souviens qu’aux Minguettes, le président a été invité par une famille pour boire le thé. Les habitants étaient très heureux que le président s’intéresse à eux.> Comment François Mitterrand a-t-il réagi en voyant la vie de ses quartiers ?Il était fasciné. Je n’irais pas jusqu’à dire que c’était, pour lui, une découverte mais il était un rural et le fait de se confronter à la vie de ces gens qui vivaient dans de grandes barres fut enrichissant.> Ces visites impromptues ont-elles été suivies d’effets ?Oui car la mission Banlieues 89 est née de ces visites de terrain. Ce fut d’ailleurs la naissance de la politique de la ville.> En 1987, cette fois, la visite fut officielle - Proposer de nouveaux logements dans une démarche environnementale forte. Dans la poursuite des opérations engagées depuis 2001 (démolition de la Muraille de Chine en 2000, implantation du CHPL, de l ’AIMV en 2005), une qualité résidentielle s'affirme progressivement au sein des quartiers Sud-Est, grâce à une nouvelle offre d'habitat variée (en forme comme en type de produits). Le dynamisme du quartier s'appuie sur l'accueil et le développement de services, d'activités économiques et d'équipements d'agglomération (centre nautique, Nouveau Théâtre de Beaulieu...) et de proximité (salles de sport, travaux dans les écoles). Les atouts paysagers du site sont pleinement exploités dans une démarche environnementale forte. L'aménagement des espaces libres et la requalification des axes structurants et de desserte renforcent les liaisons internes aux quartiers et les ouvrent sur l'ensemble de la ville. Beaulieu, un patrimoine de qualité, valorisé et adapté à ses occupants40 logement ont été adaptés au vieillissement de leur occupants (bacs à douche, volets électriques, aménagement des ascenseurs, …). L'amélioration des espaces extérieurs, résidentiels ou publics (rue K.Marx, square Renoir, allée Clémenceau) viendra rendre plus conviviaux ces lieux de vie partagés. Petite Marandinière : une cité jardin qui se rénove en gardant son caractère Sur la Petite Marandinière, 320 logements de Métropole Habitat ont été rénovés. Les bâtiments ont été transformés pour arriver à 32 logements, avec création de T3, T4, et T5 en tenant compte de la rénovation thermique et du confort des logements. 54 logements ont été construits, répartis en 6 bâtiments à l'architecture contemporaine et fonctionnelle (surfaces généreuses, double ou triple orientation, terrasse ou loggia). En parallèle, les espaces publics ont été réaménagés dans une démarche environnementale durable et innovante : résidentialisation et embellissement des espaces extérieurs, traitement paysager d'ensemble, requalification des voiries et des circulations douces adaptées aux usages, gestion optimisée du stationnement et des eaux pluviales...Une nouvelle mixité pour le quartier : les maisons de ville "Jardins Sembat" 22 maisons de ville (du T3 au T5) ont été construites à l’angle de la rue Marcel Sembat et du boulevard de Fraissinette. Conçu et développé par l'équipe XXL-Civita-Spirit, ce projet se caractérise par la qualité de la construction (matériaux durables, aménagement soigné des espaces extérieurs…) et par la mise en valeur paysagère du site, ouvert sur les collines du Pilat. 3 types de maisons ont été proposées en location libre : maisons jumelées le long du boulevard de Fraissinette, maisons en pente en fond de parcelle adossée au talus, maisons patio au cœur de l’îlot. Un nouveau centre nautique sur le secteur Loti Souhaité par les habitants, exemplaire d’une démarche participative de coproduction, le centre nautique Yves Naime a été ouvert à l'été 2013, en remplacement de l'ancienne piscine de la Marandinière. Ce centre nautique comprend un bassin sportif (25m, 6 lignes d'eau), un bassin destiné aux activités ludiques (bains bouillonnants, aquagym...), une pataugoire et des plages extérieures.Grande Marandinière : un secteur d'habitat en développement . Après la démolition de la barre Sisley et celle en cours de la barre Féguide, c'est un nouveau quartier qui se dessine sur ce secteur. La reconfiguration de la rue Sisley en voie de promenade avec des vues en belvédère et l'aménagement d'une « coulée verte » ont profondément modifié le paysage urbain du secteur. Ce nouvel environnement a permis à Métropole Habitat de réaliser un programme immobilier de 27 logements locatifs. Dans ce bâtiment collectif moderne et fonctionnel, chaque logement comporte un espace extérieur privatif, balcon ou terrasse. Au rez-de-chaussée, des locaux d'activités (centre social espace-loisirs) ou de services sont déployés le long de la nouvelle rue Sisley. La Palle : des résidentialisations de qualitéLa résidentialisation des immeubles du boulevard de la Palle apporte aux habitants de nouvelles terrasses privatives en rez-de-chaussée, des espaces en cœur d’îlots plus agréables, et de nouveaux parcours piétonniers avec aires de jeux. Elle s’accompagne de la réhabilitation des immeubles (réfection des façades, changement des garde-corps…). Des opérations de résidentialisation ont été menées immeuble par immeuble de 2006 à 2009. Elles permettent de définir les limites entre les parties publiques ouvertes à tous, et les parties privées. Des petits jardins privatifs sont ainsi aménagés pour chaque logement de rez-de-chaussée.Le Pont Aven : du logement social à haute performance environnementaleDéveloppé par Métropole Habitat, le Pont-Aven est un exemple en matière de construction écologique. Il accueille 20 logements sociaux du T2 au T5. L’ensemble de la conception du bâtiment intègre des critères environnementaux : parois extérieures en brique mono-mur, eau chaude solaire, chauffage collectif au gaz naturel, ventilation intérieure à double flux pour une meilleure circulation de l’air, équipements électriques et sanitaires économes en énergie. La toiture végétalisée permet quant à elle une meilleure conservation de la fraîcheur en été, les auvents du toit protègent les fenêtres du soleil et les eaux de pluie seront récupérées pour arroser les espaces extérieurs…Résultat : une diminution des rejets en CO2 et une baisse significative des charges de chauffage pour les locataires.Favoriser l'accessibilité et les relations inter-quartiers Le réaménagement du boulevard de la Palle a favorisé une meilleure desserte du quartier en transports en commun. Une station de taxis, des pistes cyclables et des pelouses ont été aménagées le long du boulevard, sécurisant ainsi la traversée piétonne entre les terrasses Roinat et le centre hospitalier. A l'intérieur du quartier, la trame piétonnière a été développée dans le principe d'une continuité paysagère entre les différents secteurs. Initiée avec l’aménagement des terrasses Roinat, une coulée verte, nouveau poumon vert du quartier, facilitant la circulation des piétons et des cyclistes, relie désormais le boulevard de la Palle, et plus loin le bois d'Avaize, au Parc de l'Europe. - Après la seconde guerre mondiale, un immense chantier s'ouvre en France dans le but de loger massivement une population démunie, les réalisations des HLM en France et la lutte contre l'habitat indigne insalubre , le film parle de St-Etienne entre autre avec les Cités du soleil 1958 de Jean-Claude Sée : www.dailymotion.com/video/xgj74q .Jusqu'au milieu des années 1970, cette période dite des « Trente Glorieuses l'après guerre et montre la plupart des grandes réalisations de 1945 à 1960. A travers les exemples de la région parisienne et de quelques grandes villes françaises sont posé les problèmes de la diversité architecturale, de l'esthétique et de l'harmonie entre le passé et l'avenir.

Cette question qui se posa dès la fin des années 1970 apparaît sous un jour nouveau, avec les premières démolitions dans les années 1980 et, plus récemment, le vaste programme de réhabilitation mis en place dans le cadre de la loi Solidarité et Renouvellement Urbain.Après Les Grands Ensembles. Une histoire qui continue…, ce nouvel ouvrage, fruit de la collaboration entre l'École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Saint-Étienne et l'Université Jean Monnet, apporte un éclairage nouveau sur cet héritage bâti, mettant au jour simultanément la question de son vécu et celle des acteurs engagés dans son édification. En réunissant quinze auteurs spécialistes de ce domaine, il s'agit de regrouper autant de points de vue, pour comprendre la diversité et la complexité des enjeux liés à la postérité de ce bâti. - « Petite enquête sur Beaulieu – Le Rond-Point », La Tribune du centre et du sud-est, 13 octobre 1955 et « Le chantier de Beaulieu – Le Rond-Point (1ère tranche) sera terminé le 30 juin 1956 très exactement »,La Tribune du centre & du sud-est, 26 juin 1956 -«St-Etienne, la place des grands ensembles dans l’histoire de l’habitat social français »Saint-Étienne/Beaulieu, au sud-est de l’agglomération, sur le versant sud de la colline de Beaulieu, en forte pente et d’aspect semi-rural, la cité de Beaulieu est mise à l’étude dès 1950. Elle débute en 1953 et comprend 1 221 logements, un groupe scolaire et 35 boutiques. Des parrains prestigieux et l’élite de l’architecture sté- phanoise sont mobilisés pour ce premier grand ensemble local.Tantôt les bâtiments suivent le dessin de la courbe de niveau 600, devenue rue Le Corbusier, tantôt ils s’installent perpendi-culairement à la pente, reliés à la rue par des passerelles ou de grands escaliers. A l’implantation exemplaire des bâtiments répond une maîtrise raffinée du végétal d’accompagnement, décliné selon les modes habituels aux squares urbains, avec une virtuosité étonnante dus aux talents de l’ingénieur des Services techniques de la ville, Jean Marc, associé à l’équipe de concep-tion dès l’origine de l’opération.Le vocabulaire de l’art des jardins s’adapte au grand ensemble : les espaces sont découpés à partir des courbes de niveau et des allées, et caractérisés par un système de haies et de contre-haies (haies étagées doubles ou triples) constituées de troènes com-muns ou dorés, prunus, berbéris et buffets de laurier, et sont plantés d arbres rythmés et colorés (érables négundo et acacias), ou parfois fastigiés (la gamme d’arbres est d’ailleurs peu riche), selon un dessin géométrique et des alternances de couleurs. Ces espaces verts ne sont réalisés qu’à partir de 1964, après avoir été longtemps laissés en prairies fauchées. Cet état de fait, dû au départ à l’étirement des financements des projets d’espaces exté-rieurs, s’inscrivait aussi dans la logique de conception de notre ingénieur, qui pensait « qu’il était nécessaire de laisser vivre un groupe d’habitations avant de planter » – afin de reprendre notamment les chemins tracés par l’usage.Cette réalisation révèle le décalage entre les réflexions et les savoir-faire architecturaux et paysagers et exprime quelques traits caractéristiques de la pratique paysagiste. Le festonnage des haies qui jalonne les espaces extérieurs rejoint celui des collines boca- gères surplombant les bâtiments. Il rappelle le site environnant et inspirera plus tard l’AUA et Alexandre Chemetoff pour la réhabilitation du quartier de Montreynaud.Relevons que, sans l’action concertée des services de la ville et de l’office d’HLM, qui finança entièrement la réalisation des espaces verts, rien n’aurait été fait à cette époque, compte tenu du désintérêt pour cet aspect du projet des principaux responsables du chantier. « D’ailleurs, à cette époque, les architectes ne jouaient pas au paysagiste… », queleques superbes videos du Ministere de la Cohésion et des Territoires içi : .Naissance d'une banlieue mort d'un village 2000 www.dailymotion.com/video/x1a98izRéalisateur : Sidney Jézéquel Production : Les Films Roger Leenhardt Sujet : la commune de Goussainville (95) --------Quatre murs et un toit 1953 www.dailymotion.com/video/xk6xui Scenario et réalisation Pierre Jallaud MRU (ministère de la reconstruction et de l'urbanisme) ----------------Le Bonheur est dans le béton www.dailymotion.com/video/x413amo - 2015 Documentaire réalisé par Lorenz Findeisen produit par Les Films du Tambour de Soie ---------------------Beaulieu par son constructeur la Cimaise :" Entre les années 50 et 60, et suite à la seconde guerre mondiale, la municipalité stéphanoise a vu sa population passée d’un peu moins de 180 000 habitants en 1950 à plus de 200 000 habitants dix ans plus tard en 1960. Cette forte augmentation de la population pouvait s’expliquer par le fort taux de natalité de cette époque (baby-boom), mais aussi par l’afflux de travailleurs de la classe ouvrière venus dans la grande cité stéphanoise pour trouver un travail. De ce fait, la construction d’un logement sain pour chaque ouvrier était devenue une priorité absolue pour les élus qui considéraient à raison que cela était une condition vitale dans le cadre de ce grand développement. Pour ce faire, la ville a lancé dans les années 50 une vaste opération de construction de barres d’habitation dans la zone de Beaulieu, destinée à fournir un logement à une population grandissante.--- Bâtir mieux plus vite et moins cher 1975 l'industrialisation du bâtiment et ses innovations : la préfabrication en usine, le coffrage glissant... www.dailymotion.com/video/xyjudq ----SAINT-ETIENNE BEAULIEU une barre d’habitation innovanteA l’époque, avec une majorité d’architectes, les appartements modernes construits possédaient des cloisons lourdes empêchant toute modification interne ainsi que des espaces de renvoi sombres et non ventilés ressemblant à des alcôves.Mais à l’inverse, pour certains architectes précurseurs de la région à l’image d’Yves et Henri Gouyon, la modernité reflétait le gout de la clarté, de l’air, et du soleil, avec de larges horizons. Ainsi, ces derniers donnaient la priorité non pas aux façades qu’ils considéraient comme de simples élévations du plan, mais aux cellules d’habitations et à leur orientation. Dans cette optique, le bâtiment proposé par Henri Gouyon, qui était donc un partisan de l’espace ouvert moderne, supprimait les circulations et profitait de ce gain de place pour aménager de nouveaux espaces de vie communes. De plus, dans ces cellules d’habitations, les architectes ont tirés profit au maximum de la double orientation des appartements (ces derniers étaient traversant) avec par exemple l’accolement de balcons. Conception et réalisation d’un quartier entier. Pour le projet de Beaulieu, l’on confia la conception ainsi que la réalisation des interventions aux agences Henri et Yves Gouyon puis Yves Gouyon et associés. Ainsi, dés le milieu des années 50, des études concernant Beaulieu II – La Marandinière furent conduites, suivis de la construction du bâtiment entre 1957 et 1959. S’en suivit Beaulieu III – Montchovet entre 1962 et 1964, surnommé la « Muraille de Chine la plus grande barre d'Europe avec 540 appartements à sa livraison mi 1964, les chantiers de l'OPAC devenu Métropole-Habitat, www.ina.fr/video/LY00001263522 », qui comprenait entre autres, une barre de type HLM haute de 10 à 17 mètres et longue de 270 mètres, avec 560 logements. Suites à ces constructions, l’urbanisation des vallées et collines du sud-est de Saint-Etienne continua jusque dans les années 70 avec les séries de la Métare I, II, et III. Au total, ce sont plus de 8 000 logements, pour l’essentiel de type HLM, qui ont été construits durant cette période. Ces constructions ont également contribué à la création du parc de l’Europe et d’un boulevard circulaire qui servait de jonction entre les différents édifices et le centre-ville de la cité stéphanoise.Un projet pharaoniqueLe centre commercial fut un projet d’une dimension sans précédent pour la ville, plus grand centre commercial intra-urbain de la région Loire-Auvergne, avec 100 magasins, 1500 places de stationnement, 90 000 m² de surface, et sur 3 niveaux (4 niveaux avec la terrasse). Le 2 octobre 1979, CENTRE DEUX ouvre ses portes pour la première fois, et constitue une renaissance et un véritable tournant pour la ville. L’avis de l’architecteDe toutes les constructions de cette époque, Beaulieu est un des ensembles construits qui se porte le mieux si l’on en croit les nombreuses enquêtes menées auprès de la population de ces logements, dont certains l’occupe pratiquement depuis le début. Les arbres atteignent désormais le haut des immeubles, et la rue Le Corbusier adjacente a pris les allures « d’une banlieue des années 30 » avec un niveau d’urbanisme parfaitement acceptable. En conclusion, on peut parler pour cette construction d’un véritable savoir faire architectural et en quelques sortes d’art urbain. Ce projet a été récompensé par un prix d’urbanisme, mettant en valeur le travail en amont du projet. www.cimaise-architectes.com/realisations/divers/construct... cité HLM labellisée Patrimoine du XXeme siecle -"Il faut bien le dire, avant même d’être livré, Beaulieu est l' un des grands-ensembles, parmis 6 autres qui fasçinait en 1954..En effet c'etait le début de la longue & grande histoire des chantiers de l'Office Public de l'Aménagement et de la Construction* içi, ou à Montreynaud, Solaure, Monthieu etc( l'OPAC l'office public de logements sociaux, devenu plus tard Métropole-Habitat, est la plus importante au niveau National, c'est la plus grosse boite d'HLM). Bref, les habituels promeneurs du coin genre les "Bois du Four (la Metare, le nom ançien, qui par ailleurs appartenait a Mme de Métarie une veuve riche qui légua son domaine soit "la Métare" à la ville, pour un Franc symbolique à l'epoque et aux CHU anciennement les HCL Hospiçes Civils de la Ville comme à Lyon... (on notera qu il y a des tas de logements en centre ville propriété du CHU)..se rendant le dimanchedans le Pilat ou à Rochetaillée et sur les collines* alentours (on en a 7 comme a Rome) font un léger détour par le chantier. Ils constatent alors de visu cet avancement des travaux que la presse qualifie de « belle prouesse ». Le rythme est en effet rapide : « un étage par semaine » pour certaines barres, comme le raconte un témoin. Les « grandes maisons », soient les immeubles de hauteur et nombre de logements importants (IGH), étant alors encore rares dans laville, les Stéphanois n’y sont pas habitués@ les H.L.M. Beaulieu est la 1ere cité Stéphanoise de toutes,. Les barres de dix-sept et quatorze niveaux gises respectivement rues Gomy Herriot et de Vlaminck, ainsi que la tour de 22 niveaux au 33 rue Le-Corbusier,surprennent donc encore pire pour la plus grande barre d'Europe qui arrvera 7 ans plus tard, la Muraille qui mettront certains certaines à la renverse , le gigantisme à l'état brut, du lourd.... La référence qui vient à l’esprit de beaucoup ajoute à la fascination : l’Amérique. « C’est New-York ! c'est tres joile, tres vert... », se rappelle avoir pensé un habitant de la première harre...Mais plus que les immeubles, ce sont surtout les logements qui emportent l’adhésion des « heureux locataires », comme aime à les appeler la presse tout court. La satisfaction procurée aux habitants par l’hygiène et le confort des logements des Grands-Ensembles soit les quartiers NEUF est une information connue, les études de sciences humaines sur le sujet abondent. Aussi, pour le cas de Beaulieu devenu un cas d'Ecole idem pour Montchovet (Beaulieu3) et les transformations de la Marandiniere (Beaulieu2)...Les entretiens réalisés avec des locataires n’apportent pas sur ce point-ci d’éléments nouveaux :les premiers motifs de satisfaction invoqués sont, comme pour bien d’autres Grands-Ensembles Français,l’eau courante, le chauffage central dont sont pourvus les immeubles les plus hauts, les WC intérieurs et salles de bain, l’ensoleillement et la luminosité permis par l’orientation, la hauteur et la disposition des immeubles, les placards et les tout aussi pratiques balcons à parois séchoirs permettant de faire sécher le linge, hiver compris. Entretien avec François Tomas, géographe, spécialiste de l'aménagement urbain, et enseignant à l'université et à l'école d'architecture de Saint-Etienne. Il est notamment l'auteur des Grands Ensembles, une histoire qui continue (Publications de l'université de Saint-Etienne, 2003). Cet intellectuel a également mis la main à la pâte. Entre 1977 et 1983, il fut adjoint à l'urbanisme du maire communiste de l'époque, Joseph Sanguedolce. Engagé au PC de 1974 à 1985, il a, depuis, rejoint le Parti socialiste «comme militant de base»L"apres guerre...Que prévoit-on pour la reconstruction? Pas grand-chose. A la différence de la refonte spectaculaire du Havre, par exemple, on se contente ici de bâtir de petits immeubles, plus modernes bien sûr, mais sans réelle innovation architecturale ou urbanistique.Est-il vrai que Saint-Etienne, après guerre, traîne une réputation de «capitale des taudis»?C'est exact, et celle-ci n'est pas usurpée. En 1946, 7% seulement des logements sont jugés «confortables», et 17%, «acceptables»; 56% sont médiocres, et 20% peuvent véritablement être qualifiés de taudis: 1 logement sur 5 n'a pas d'eau à l'évier, les deux tiers ne disposent pas de WC, et 95%, de salle d'eau. Mais le problème n'a pas été créé par la guerre. Depuis la fin du XIXe siècle, Saint-Etienne a beaucoup grandi, mais très peu construit. Résultat: la ville a vieilli sur elle-même et se trouve après guerre dans une situation désastreuse, que les bombardements ont simplement aggravée. C'est alors qu'Alexandre de Fraissinette, maire élu en 1947, fixe le logement comme l'une de ses priorités.

American Speedfest 8 Returned to Brands Hatch for another Fantastic American themed weekend Featuring the likes of Euro Nascar Legends and even Angelo American Formula 5000's Racing this weekender event was shaping up to be a good one.
The First Day was mostly focused on Qualifying with many of the Races taking Place on the Sunday. Each of the Teams was both busy in the outer Paddock and the Pitlane getting their cars ready for a shakedown session in which they would have to Qualify to see who could be the Fastest and take Pole Position for each of the Races come Sunday.
Angelo American Formula 5000
The Formula 5000's made a Thunderous return to the Brands Hatch circuit, Built during a time where many Formula 1 cars from the likes of Lotus Williams and McLaren we using Ground Effect and pushing up the speeds of their cars.
Formula 5000's took speeds to a whole new level by using V8 Engines to power their cars which were found to be even faster than those Formula 1 cars of that era on the straights of different race tracks. Chevron B37's and McRae GM1'S were amongst the field and Qualifying looked to be very close indeed.
In First Place taking Pole Position and The Fastest Lap was (Neil Glover) in his Chevron B37 with a Lap Time of 47.039 with an average speed of 92.44mph. An Insanely Fast Lap Time for Brands Hatches Indy Circuit.

Just like Old School Le Mans the Riders all Lined Up on the Opposite Side of the Pitlane with their Respective Teams Holding onto the Bikes Ready for them to Blast off into the Distance around the Circuit.
A Loud Bang from the Calcian Signalled the Start of an 8 Hour Endurance Race and each Rider Ran Towards their Bikes Fired them Up and Set off onto the Race Track.
During the First Hour All Riders Made it through the First Opening Laps without any Problems and already many of them were getting up to Speed while some other Riders Preferred to nurse their Machinery for the First Hour to Avoid anything Breaking or Failing on thease High Powered Machines.
As Hour two Approached Everyone was still going strong and The Riders were Each Getting into a Really Good Rhythm of the Grand Prix circuit while other Teams had opted to Head to the pits to swap Riders and Give themselves more of a chance to take Victory with a selection of different Talents and Bikes available.
The Start of Hour Three saw a lot of Different Battles Going on thought the field and on the Back Straight there was some Close Wheel to Wheel Action Between Every Rider traveling at Speeds close to Nearly 100mph.

No primeiro quadrimestre da gestão da prefeita Marília Campos, os limites constitucionais em investimentos com saúde e educação foram cumpridos. O resultado reflete o compromisso do governo com uma gestão austera, transparente e participativa.
Os dados foram apresentados pela Controladoria Geral, durante a 2ª audiência pública de prestação de contas, relativas às receitas e despesas quadrimestrais de 2020/2021, nesta quinta-feira (27/5) na Câmara Municipal de Contagem.
Os trabalhos foram conduzidos pelo Controlador-Geral, Jaime Vilela, com as participações do Auditor-Geral, Zânio Gontijo, o subsecretário de Fazenda, Fábio Alves, e o assessor de planejamento da Secretaria de Saúde, Newton Sérgio Lemos. A prestação de contas ocorre em cumprimento da Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal (Lei nº 101 / 2000).
De acordo com o relatório apresentado pelo Auditor-Geral, na Secretaria de Saúde, o limite não só foi cumprido, como também superado: os recursos repassados chegaram a 22,49%, o que representa mais de R$ 96 milhões.
Com esse resultado, a atual gestão conseguiu destinar, além do limite mínimo (15%), montante superior para as ações e serviços de saúde. O percentual foi obtido sobre os impostos e transferências constitucionais legais.
A alocação adequada dos recursos viabilizou, por exemplo, ações como: implantação de novos leitos, insumos para a rede hospitalar, cofinanciamento das equipes da Atenção Primária à Saúde; cofinanciamento das Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS) e Unidades de Pronto Atendimento do Estado (UPAs); dentre várias outras ações.
Para o Controlador-Geral, Jaime Vilela, a prestação de contas é necessária, além de ser uma oportunidade para que o município mostre a transparência da gestão das receitas e despesas. Vilela enfatizou ainda, sobre a importância da população em acompanhar a gestão dos públicos.
“A gente tem que transformar essa audiência pública numa oportunidade de esclarecimento e de exercício de transparência. E cada vez mais, a sociedade possa ter familiaridade com a execução das despesas públicas e da arrecadação para que ela compreenda o processo. Quanto mais esse processo for compreendido, melhor ele será”, afirmou.
Conforme dados do relatório da controladoria, a Secretaria de Estado de Educação (SEE) também superou o teto mínimo de repasses ao município para manutenção e desenvolvimento do ensino, com 26,46% dos recursos destinados, cerca de R$ 113,8 milhões.
Desse modo, a atual gestão conseguiu ultrapassar o índice mínimo de 25%. Assim como para a Saúde, o percentual foi obtido sobre os impostos e transferências constitucionais legais.
Pelo Fundo de Manutenção e Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica e Valorização dos Profissionais da Educação – Fundeb, o relatório apontou que município recebeu cerca R$ 109 milhões.
Desse montante, cerca de R$ 20 milhões que seriam recursos de ICMS foram depositados equivocadamente pelo estado, na conta do Fundeb.
Com a correção dos valores, Contagem recebeu, de fato, pelo fundo, cerca de R$80 milhões e dessa quantia, já destinou R$ 70,5 milhões para as despesas com remuneração dos profissionais do magistério.
Mesmo com a pandemia, o repasse permitiu à atual gestão planejar o retorno das aulas de forma remota, contratações de profissionais, entre outros investimentos necessários.
Pela Constituição Federal, estados e municípios devem aplicar, todos os anos, 15% de recursos advindos da arrecadação de impostos em ações e serviços públicos de Saúde e 25% na manutenção e desenvolvimento do ensino. As porcentagens representam um limite mínimo constitucional.
Todas as disposições, com relação à movimentação dos recursos dos estados quanto às necessidades de saúde da população estão inseridas na Constituição no artigo 77, complementado com a Emenda constitucional 29, de 13 de setembro de 2000, e a Lei Complementar 141, de 13 de janeiro de 2012. As bases que asseguram recursos mínimos para a Educação estão dispostas no artigo 212 da Constituição Federal.

American Speedfest 8 Returned to Brands Hatch for another Fantastic American themed weekend Featuring the likes of Euro Nascar Legends and even Angelo American Formula 5000's Racing this weekender event was shaping up to be a good one.
The First Day was mostly focused on Qualifying with many of the Races taking Place on the Sunday. Each of the Teams was both busy in the outer Paddock and the Pitlane getting their cars ready for a shakedown session in which they would have to Qualify to see who could be the Fastest and take Pole Position for each of the Races come Sunday.
Angelo American Formula 5000
The Formula 5000's made a Thunderous return to the Brands Hatch circuit, Built during a time where many Formula 1 cars from the likes of Lotus Williams and McLaren we using Ground Effect and pushing up the speeds of their cars.
Formula 5000's took speeds to a whole new level by using V8 Engines to power their cars which were found to be even faster than those Formula 1 cars of that era on the straights of different race tracks. Chevron B37's and McRae GM1'S were amongst the field and Qualifying looked to be very close indeed.
In First Place taking Pole Position and The Fastest Lap was (Neil Glover) in his Chevron B37 with a Lap Time of 47.039 with an average speed of 92.44mph. An Insanely Fast Lap Time for Brands Hatches Indy Circuit.
In Second Place was (Mark Campfield) in his Chevron B24 with A Lap Time Of 47.694 and an Average Speed of 91.17mph still Impressively quick for Chevron Power.
In Third Place was (Greg Thornton) in his Chevron B24 with A Lap Time Of 47.775 with an Average Speed of 91.02mph showing the power of the Chevron Engine through every turn.
A Tightly Packed Grid for Sundays Race and it looks like its a Chevron Front Row lockout but who's car will have the power to Triumph over the others? only time will tell.
Bernie's Sports And V8's
Bernie's V8's were up next and showcased a lot of Impressive V8 Powered Machinery on the grid. Talbot Sunbeams, Austin Healey's and even MGB GT V8 powered Machinery hitting the Track during Qualifying. Lets see what V8 Power can do and which Drivers managed to tame the Beasts and make it into the top three.
In First Place Taking Pole Position and the Fastest Lap was the Duo of (Elis Mar/Elis Mat) in their Talbot Sunbeam Lotus with a Lap Time of 54.533 and an Average speed of 79.74mph. Fast and Furious Driving on display once again.
In Second Place was (James Plant) in his Austin Healey 106 with a Lap Time of 54.964 and an Average Speed of 79.11mph. Very Quick and Consistent Laps seen from James behind the wheel too.
In Third Place was the Duo of (Can/Wilson) in their Aston Martin V8 Vantage with a lap time of 55.397 and an Average speed of 78.49mph. Showing just how much power and Grunt that Aston has.
Another Fantastic set of V8 Powered Machines on Display showing the true power of the American Built V8'S and how they changed the game in terms of Racing and Road Going Cars. Who will win the Race on Sunday. Will have to wait and see.
Legends Cars Championship
Referred to as the Little Pocket Rockets these small Looking Cars may not loo like they have anything Special to offer but just wait until you see what these little Wolves in Sheep's clothing can do once out on the Track.
Using Motorbike Engines of 1200cc they Really do show on Track just how lightweight and fast they are and Slip Streaming is commonly a way of being able to Achieve a Faster Lap time by using the Driver in fronts Slip Stream to aid in the Aerodynamics of the Car and Reduce Drag. Lets see what Happened during Qualifying Heat 2
In First Place Taking Pole and Setting The Fastest Lap was (Chris Dewey) in his Legend with a Lap Time Of 56.700 with an Average Speed of 76.69mph. Crazy Fast for Something so small and yet very Agile in Control.
In Second Place was (Stephen Whitelegg) in his Legend 34 Ford Coupe with a Lap Time of 56.740 and an Average Speed of 76.64mph. First And Second look to be very close together Thanks to the aids in Slip Streaming down the Brabham Straight to gain positions or Fastest Laps.
In Third Place was (Miles Rudman) in his Legend 34 Coupe with a Lap Time Of 56.878. Very Close between the Top three and it just goes to show how Important Slip Streaming is to Gain an Advantage in this Qualifying Session.
Exciting Stuff Ahead of The
Legends Races on Sunday where One of the Drivers will Win the Race and Take the Victory, Who Will it be? Only Time Will Tell.
Nascar Whelen Euro Series-Pro
The Main Highlight Event of the Day and the Nascar's with their Thunderous Powered V8 Engines Roared onto the Indy Circuit and with Two Formation Laps Completed to Warm Up the Tyres every car was released to Start Qualifying. Lets See How the Grid Will Shape Up.

Com o objetivo de ouvir e dialogar com usuários do Transporte Especial Sem Limite, pessoas com deficiência física ou mobilidade reduzida, a Prefeitura de Contagem realizou, sábado (8/10), no auditório da UNA Contagem, o 1º Encontro Coletivo de Gestão Democrática do Serviço de Transporte Especial Sem Limite.
Na abertura do evento, a superintendente de Políticas Públicas para as Pessoas com Deficiência, Karla Regina Lopes, disse que o evento é uma forma de garantir a gestão democrática do serviço e de apurar as necessidades dos usuários, por meio de sugestões, críticas e elogios, contribuindo, assim, para a melhoria e avanços do serviço na cidade.
O Programa Sem Limite realiza o transporte gratuito de pessoas com deficiência física ou mobilidade reduzida do município para escolas e tratamentos médicos, garantindo o direito de ir e vir, promovendo dignidade, inclusão e cidadania. Contagem é uma das únicas cidades mineiras que mantém este tipo de transporte no Brasil.
Presente ao evento, o vice-prefeito Ricardo Faria ressaltou o compromisso da Prefeitura com as políticas públicas inclusivas e inovadoras. “O aspecto holístico do Programa Sem Limite envolve várias secretarias. As pessoas tem várias necessidades. Além de ir ao médico, elas também precisam de ir ao cinema e ao parque. São políticas como estas que melhoram a qualidade de vida das pessoas”, afirmou.
O secretário de Direitos Humanos e Cidadania, Marcelo Lino, destacou que o Programa Sem Limite é fruto de uma ousadia da prefeita Marília Campos, que escolheu investir na pessoa com deficiência, para garantir o direito de todos irem à escola e ao médico. Nestes 15 anos do Programa, queremos pensar coletivamente para que possamos ser ainda mais eficientes”, disse.
A estudante de Sistemas de Informação, Luana Oliveira, 26 anos, usa o Transporte Especial desde os 11 anos de idade. Hoje ela já está na faculdade e continua usando o serviço. “O Sem Limite é muito importante para garantir a minha mobilidade, conforto e segurança, porque ele me pega na porta da faculdade e me deixa na porta de casa. Como eu estudo a noite, sem esta segurança seria muito difícil pra mim, e esta abertura para o diálogo é muito importante para melhorias”, opinou.
A dona de casa, Daiane Flávia, achou importante participar do evento. Ela tem uma filha que faz o uso do Transporte Especial, que considera essencial na sua vida. “O Sem Limite facilita totalmente a minha vida, sem ele eu não poderia levar a minha filha para fazer os tratamentos que ela precisa. O serviço é muito bom e necessário. Se pudesse ser ampliado, seria melhor ainda”, disse.
Também participaram do evento, o presidente da Autarquia Municipal de Trânsito e Transportes de Contagem- Transcon, Marco Antônio Silveira, e o representante da Cooperativa de Transporte Inclusivo, Vanjo Barcelos.
Programa Sem Limite
É uma política pública do município, promovida com recursos, exclusivamente, do município. Desde 2007, o serviço já beneficiou centenas de pessoas e, atualmente, conta com 392 usuários credenciados e 24 vans disponíveis, com capacidade para transportar até três cadeirantes e seus acompanhantes.
O transporte tem a gestão e execução em formato de responsabilidade intersetorial, envolvendo as secretarias municipais de Direitos Humanos e Cidadania; de Desenvolvimento Social, Trabalho e Segurança Alimentar; de Saúde e de Educação, além da Autarquia Municipal de Trânsito e de Transportes de Contagem – TransCon.

www.dailymotion.com/video/xk6xui?playlist=x34ije , www.dailymotion.com/video/xk1dh2?playlist=x34ije :- que dire de RICARDO BOFFIL Les meilleures balades que j’ai fait autour de Paris je les ai faites dans l’application Plans. Je ne minore pas le rôle de Google Maps, révolution cartographique sans précédent et sans égale, qui aura réalisé nos fantasmes d’Aleph borgesien — l’idée d’un point d’où le monde serait visible en totalité — parachevé Mercator et permis d’explorer des parties du globe inconnues de Cook, Bougainville et Amundsen. Je n’oublie pas non plus cet exercice de cartographie au collège, qui nous avait démontré que nous étions à 3 cartes IGN de la capitale, et que le tissu urbain était de plus en plus serré à mesure que nous avancions vers le nord. Mais Plan possédait une fonctionnalité inédite, le Flyover, technologie à l’origine destinée aux pilotes de chasse, et qui fournissait des rendus 3D spectaculaire des bâtiments survolés — ainsi que des arbres et des déclivités du sol.On quittait enfin les champs asphyxiants de la photographie aérienne pour des vues à l’oblique des villes visitées : après un siècle d’écrasement — la photographie aérienne est étroitement contemporaine du bombardement aérien — les villes reprenaient enfin de la vigueur et remontaient vers le ciel. J’avais d’ailleurs effectué moi-même une manœuvre de redressement similaire le jour où j’étais parti, à pied depuis Paris, visiter à Nanterre une exposition sur la photographie aérienne. J’étais à la quête des premières vues de Paris qu’avait prises Nadar depuis un ballon captif. À défaut de ces images, définitivement manquantes, j’avais parcouru, après la Grande Arche, les derniers kilomètres de la Voie Royale, cette prodigieuse perspective historique partie du Louvre — rare exemple de frise chronologique implémentée dans une structure urbanistique.J’avais en réalité un peu dévié de la ligne droite pour aller voir les tours Nuages d’Emile Aillaud, le Facteur Cheval du modernisme, dont je connaissais déjà les autres chefs d’œuvres d'architecture naïve, les nouilles chinoises de Grigny et le spaghetti de Pantin.C’était précisément l’usage que j’avais fait de l’application Plans : j’étais parti à la recherche de tous les groupements de tour qu’elle m’avait permis d’identifier, sur mon iPad. Je les faisais tourner avec deux doigts, comme un éclaireur qui marcherait autour d’un donjon, avant de les immortaliser, sous leur plus bel angle, par une capture d’écran.Un éclaireur autour d’un donjon : c’était exactement cela, qui m’avait fasciné. Les guerres territoriales entre Les Tarterêts de Corbeil et les Pyramides d’Evry avaient marqué mon enfance. La notion de cité, telle qu’elle avait été définie, à partir des années 80, dans le second âge des grands ensembles, l’âge du déclin, avait conservé un cachet médiéval. Ici, vivaient guetteurs et trafiquants, condottieres à la tête d’une écurie de go-fast et entretenant des chenils remplis de mâtins rares et dangereux. Ici, l’État central ne remplissait plus ses tâches régaliennes, ici la modernité laïque était entrée en crise. Mais ce que j’avais découvert, en collectionnant ces captures d’écran, c’était à quel point l’urbanisme de la banlieue parisienne était, strictement, d’obédience médiévale. On était passé, d’un seul mouvement et sans même s’en rendre compte de Château-Gaillard à la Cité 4000, du Donjon de Vincennes aux tours de Sarcelles, du château de Gisors aux choux fleurs de Créteil.J’ai même retrouvé la colonne détruite du désert de Retz dans le babylonien château d’eau de Noisiel.Des hauteurs de Rosny à celle de Chanteloup, du plateau de Clichy à la dalle d’Argenteuil, on avait bizarrement livré des pastiches inconscients de la grande architecture militaire médiévales : les environs de Paris s’étaient retrouvés à nouveau fortifiés, la vieille tour de Montlhéry n’était plus solitaire, et même les immeubles de briques rouges qui avaient succédé à l’enceinte de Thiers évoquaient des murailles.Et ce que j’avais initialement pris pour des anomalies, des accidents malheureux du post-modernisme, les grand ensembles voûtés et cannelés de Ricardo Boffil, étaient peut-être ce qui exprimait le mieux tout cela — ou du moins qui clôturaient avec le génie le plus clair cet âge des grands ensembles.Car c’était cela, ces Carcassonnes, ces Acropoles, ces Atlandides qui surnageaient avec le plus de conviction au milieu des captures d’écrans de ruines médiévales qui s’accumulaient sur mon bureau.Si décriées, dès leur construction, pour leur kitch intolérable ces mégastructures me sont soudain apparues comme absolument nécessaires.Si les Villes Nouvelles n’ont jamais existé, et persisteront dans la mémoire des hommes, elles le doivent à ces rêveries bizarres et grandioses, à ces hybridations impossibles entre les cités idéales de Ledoux et les utopies corbuséennes.
L’Aqueduc de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, les Espaces d’Abraxas à Marne-la-Vallée, les Colonnes de Saint-Christophe à Cergy-Pontoise sont les plus belles ruines du Grand Paris.
www.franceculture.fr/emissions/la-conclusion/ricardo-bofill immerssion dans le monde du logement social, l'univers des logements sociaux, des H.B.M au H.L.M - Retour sur l'histoire du logement collectif d'apres guerre - En Françe, sur l’ensemble du territoire avant, 4 millions d’immeubles étaient vétustes, dont 500.000 à démolir; au total 10% des logements étaient considérés comme insalubres et 40% réputés d’une qualité médiocre, et surpeuplés. C’est pour ces raisons que, à partir de 1954, le Ministre à la Reconstruction et au Logement évalue le besoin en logements à 2.000.660, devenant ainsi une priorité nationale. Quelques années plus tard à l’appel de l’Abbé Pierre, le journaliste Gilbert Mathieu, en avril 1957 publiait dans le quotidien Le Monde une série d’articles sur la situation dramatique du logement : Logement, notre honte et dénonçant le nombre réduit de logements et leur impitoyable état. Robert Doisneau, Banlieue après-guerre, 1943-1949 /Le mandat se veut triple : reconstruire le parc immobilier détruit durant les bombardements essentiellement du printemps/été 1944, faire face à l’essor démographique et enfin résorber l’habitat insalubre notamment les bidonvilles et les cités de transit. Une ambition qui paraît, dès le début, très élevée, associée à l’industrialisation progressive de la nation entre autre celle du secteur de la construction (voir le vidéo de l’INA du 17 juillet 1957 intitulée La crise du logement, un problème national. Cela dit, l’effort pour l’État français était d’une ampleur jamais vue ailleurs. La double nécessité de construire davantage et vite, est en partie la cause de la forme architecturale excentrique qui constituera les Grands Ensembles dans les banlieues françaises. Cinq caractéristiques permettent de mieux comprendre ce terme : la rupture avec le tissu urbain ancien, un minimum de mille logements, une forme collective (tours, barres) de quatre jusqu’à vingt niveaux, la conception d’appartements aménagés et équipés et enfin une gestion destinée pour la plupart à des bailleurs de logement social.
Pour la banlieue parisienne leur localisation s’est opérée majoritairement dans la périphérie, tandis que dans les autres cas, plus de la moitié a été construite dans le centre ville, le plus souvent à la limite des anciens faubourgs.
Architecture d’Aujourd’hui n° 46, 1953 p. 58-55
C’est le triomphe de l’urbanisme fonctionnel et rationaliste cher à Le Corbusier. Entre 1958 et 1973, cent quatre-vingt-quinze Zones à Urbaniser en Priorité (ZUP) sont créées, comprenant deux millions de logements, essentiellement de type populaire en Habitations à Loyer Modéré (HLM), mais pas exclusivement, remplaçant ainsi les anciennes Habitations à Bon Marché (HBM) crées en 1894. Selon le décret du 27 mars 1954 qui en fixe les conditions d’attribution, les bénéficiaires de la législation n’ont pas changé, ce sont toujours des « personnes peu fortunées vivant principalement de leur salaire », selon la loi Strauss de 1906. En 1953, tous les HLM voient leur surface maximale se réduire, en passant de 71 à 65 mètres carrés pour un quatre pièces. L’accès au logement des familles modestes se fera donc au détriment de la qualité et quantité de l’espace habité pour des familles nombreuses. À ce propos, le sociologue Thierry Oblet a bien montré comment se sont articulées les pensées des architectes et des ingénieurs modernistes, avec leur souci planificateur d’un État interventionniste[8] grâce à l’hégémonie du béton, de la ligne droite et de la standardisation de la construction.Les exemples de cette architecture restent nombreux : de la Cité de 4000 (pour 4000 logements) à la Courneuve en Seine-Saint-Denis (93) aux logements de 15 étages aux balcons pétales, appelés « Chou-fleur » à Créteil en Val-de Marne (94) dessinés au début des années 70 par l’architecte Gérard Grandval. De la Cité des nuages à Nanterre dans les Hauts-de-Seine (92) à la Grande borne construite entre 1967 et 1971 sur le territoire des communes de Grigny et Viry-Châtillon, dans l’Essonne (91) en passant par la Noé à Chanteloup-les-Vignes dans le département des Yvelines (78) scénario du célèbre film La Haine[9] de Kassovits.
Récemment, plusieurs expositions photographiques se sontconcentrées sur cette nouvelle figure de l’urbanisme fonctionnaliste français de l’après-guerre. Par exemple Toit&Moi, 100 ans de logement social (2012), Les Grands ensembles 1960-2010 (2012) produite par l’école supérieure d’arts & médias de Caen/Cherbourg, selon un projet du Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication. Enfin l’exposition Photographie à l’œuvre, (2011-2012) d’Henri Salesse, photographe du service de l’inventaire du Ministère de la Reconstruction et de l’Urbanisme et Voyage en périphérie (2012) de Cyrus Cornut.
Il s’agissait là non seulement d’un progrès matériel, mais aussi démocratique, donnant ainsi à chaque citoyen, la possibilité d’accéder à son petit appartement doté de tous les conforts de l’époque. La recherche d’économie et de rapidité dans la conduite des chantiers portent à l’utilisation du béton comme matériel privilégié et à des plans architecturaux aussi simples que possible avec la réalisation de logements standardisés, dont les barres et les tours deviennent les figures principales : Au mitan des années cinquante, apparurent d’étranges formes urbaines. Des immeubles d’habitation de plus en plus longs et de plus en plus hauts, assemblés en blocs qui ne s’intégraient pas aux villes existantes. Ces blocs s’en différenciaient ostensiblement et parfois comme systématiquement, s’en isolaient. Ils semblaient faire ville à part. Surtout ils ne ressemblaient pas à ce qu’on avait l’habitude d’appeler ville. Et leur architecture aussi, qui était tellement déroutante. On les a nommés » grands ensembles. Cité de l’Abreuvoir, Bobigny (93), 2003 (Inventaire général du Patrimoine, Région Ile de France / Stéphane Asseline)
Bref, entre 1946 et 1975 le parc immobilier français passe de 12,7 millions à 21 millions de logements. Environ 8 millions de ceux-ci sont neufs, construits entre 1953-1975 – dont la moitié sous forme de grands ensembles – et près de 80 % des logements grâce à une aide de l’État avec des crédits publics. Le nombre de logements sociaux passe de moins de 500.000 à près de 3 millions, dont 43 % en région parisienne, où la demande est la plus forte[11]. Ce qui témoigne d’un effort énorme. Secrétariat d’État à la Reconstruction et au Logement, Supplément du logement en 1954, cité par Bachmann, C. Le Guennec, N., Violences urbaines…Op.cit, p.24. Alors que l’hiver 1954 est particulièrement rigoureux, l’abbé Pierre lance un appel en faveur des sans-logis et déshérités et organise des collectes de vêtements et de nourriture pour les plus démunis. Cela nous rappelle également que les inégalités sociales restaient particulièrement importantes à l’époque, malgré les débuts de la croissance économique, et que la crise du logement n’était pas encore complètement résolue. Danièle Voldman, La reconstruction des villes françaises de 1940 à 1954 : histoire d’une politique, Paris, L’Harmattan, 1997. Les Actualités françaises, La crise du logement, un problème national, 17 juillet, 1957, in fresques.ina.fr/…/la-crise-du-logement-un-probleme-n…, consulté le 20/02/2014. C’est l’urbaniste Marcel Rotival dans un numéro d’Architecture d’Aujourd’hui de juin 1935 (vol.1, n°6, juin 1935, p.57) qui propose pour la première fois cette terminologie pour désigner les Habitations à Bon Marché (HBM) et leur transformation en Habitations à Loyer Modéré (HLM), par la loi du 21 juillet 1951: « Nous espérons, un jour, sortir des villes comme Paris, non seulement par l’avenue des Champs Elysées, la seule réalisation de tenue sans laquelle Paris n’existerait pas, mais sortir par Belleville, par Charonne, par Bobigny, etc., et trouver harmonieusement disposés le long de larges autostrades, au milieu de grands espaces boisés, de parcs, de stades, de grandes cités claires, bien orientées, lumineusement éclairées par le soleil. » Largement reprise depuis les années 1950 dans le jargon administratif et public, elle apparaît pour la première fois dans un texte officiel qu’en 1973 avec la Circulaire Guichard, alors Ministre de l’Aménagement du territoire, de l’Equipement, du Logement et du tourisme. Celui-ci met un terme à la politique initiée après-guerre afin « d’empêcher la réalisation des formes d’urbanisation désignées généralement sous le nom de “grands ensembles”, peu conforme aux aspirations des habitants et sans justification économique sérieuse ». Paradoxalement, le terme de grands ensembles s’officialise donc au moment même où ils son mis en question. ZUP est un acronyme qui signifie Zone à Urbaniser en Priorité. Elles ont été créées par le décret N°58-1464 du 31 décembre 1958, afin de planifier et d’encadrer sur le territoire national, le développement urbain pour répondre à la carence de logements face à l’accroissement démographique et favoriser enfin la résorption de l’habitat insalubre.

Ministère de l'Équipement et de l'Aménagement du Territoire - Dotation par la France d'autoroutes modernes "nécessité vitale" pour palier à l'inadaptation du réseau routier de l'époque voué à la paralysie : le reportage nous montre des images d'embouteillages. Le ministre de l'Équipement et de l'Aménagement du Territoire dans les deux gouvernements de Pierre Messmer, de 1972 à 1974, Olivier Guichard explique les ambitions du programme de construction qui doit atteindre 800 km par ans en 1978. L'ouverture de section nouvelles va bon train : Nancy / Metz par exemple. Le reportage nous montre l'intérieur des bureaux d'études qui conçoivent ces autoroute dont la conception est assistée par ordinateurs dont le projet d'ensemble en 3D est visualisé sur un écran. La voix off nous informe sur le financement de ces équipements. Puis on peut voir des images de la construction du pont sur la Seine à Saint Cloud reliant l'autoroute de Normandie au périphérique, de l'échangeur de Palaiseau sur 4 niveau : record d'Europe précise le commentaire. Le reportage nous informe que des sociétés d'économies mixtes ont étés crées pour les tronçons : Paris / Lille, Paris / Marseille, Paris / Normandie. Pour accélérer la construction l’État a eu recours à des concessions privées par exemple pour le tronçon Paris / Chartres. "Les autoroutes changent le visage de la France : artères économiques favorisant le développement industriel elles permettent de revitaliser des régions en perte de vitesse et de l'intégrer dans le mouvement général de l'expansion" Sur le plan européen elles vont combler le retard de la France et réaliser son insertion. Images de l'inauguration de l'autoroute entre Paris et Bruxelles par le président Georges Pompidou. Le reportage rappel que l'autre fonction capitale des autoroute est de favoriser la sécurité. La question de la limitation de vitesse est posée au ministre de l’Équipement, qui n'y est favorable que sur certains tronçons. Un des facteur de sécurité selon le commentaire est l'humanisation des autoroutes : aires de repos, restaurants, signalisation touristiques... "Rien n'est impossible aux techniques modernes" nous apprend la voix off qui prend comme exemple le déplacement sur rail de 65 mètres d'un château classé afin de faire passer l'autoroute Lille / Dunkerque.Durée : 4 minutes 30 secondesSur les routes de France les ponts renaissent 1945 reconstruction de la France après la Seconde Guerre mondiale www.dailymotion.com/video/xuxrii?playlist=x34ije Lyon, Tournon, Caen - Le Bosquel, un village renait 1947 l'album cinématographique de la reconstruction, réalisation Paul de Roubaix production ministère de la Reconstruction et de l'Urbanisme, village prototype, architecte Paul Dufournet, www.dailymotion.com/video/xx5tx8?playlist=x34ije - Demain Paris 1959 dessin animé présentant l'aménagement de la capitale dans les années 60, Animation, dessin animé à vocation pédagogique visant à promouvoir la politique d’aménagement suivie dans les années 60 à Paris.

No primeiro quadrimestre da gestão da prefeita Marília Campos, os limites constitucionais em investimentos com saúde e educação foram cumpridos. O resultado reflete o compromisso do governo com uma gestão austera, transparente e participativa.
Os dados foram apresentados pela Controladoria Geral, durante a 2ª audiência pública de prestação de contas, relativas às receitas e despesas quadrimestrais de 2020/2021, nesta quinta-feira (27/5) na Câmara Municipal de Contagem.
Os trabalhos foram conduzidos pelo Controlador-Geral, Jaime Vilela, com as participações do Auditor-Geral, Zânio Gontijo, o subsecretário de Fazenda, Fábio Alves, e o assessor de planejamento da Secretaria de Saúde, Newton Sérgio Lemos. A prestação de contas ocorre em cumprimento da Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal (Lei nº 101 / 2000).
De acordo com o relatório apresentado pelo Auditor-Geral, na Secretaria de Saúde, o limite não só foi cumprido, como também superado: os recursos repassados chegaram a 22,49%, o que representa mais de R$ 96 milhões.
Com esse resultado, a atual gestão conseguiu destinar, além do limite mínimo (15%), montante superior para as ações e serviços de saúde. O percentual foi obtido sobre os impostos e transferências constitucionais legais.
A alocação adequada dos recursos viabilizou, por exemplo, ações como: implantação de novos leitos, insumos para a rede hospitalar, cofinanciamento das equipes da Atenção Primária à Saúde; cofinanciamento das Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS) e Unidades de Pronto Atendimento do Estado (UPAs); dentre várias outras ações.
Para o Controlador-Geral, Jaime Vilela, a prestação de contas é necessária, além de ser uma oportunidade para que o município mostre a transparência da gestão das receitas e despesas. Vilela enfatizou ainda, sobre a importância da população em acompanhar a gestão dos públicos.
“A gente tem que transformar essa audiência pública numa oportunidade de esclarecimento e de exercício de transparência. E cada vez mais, a sociedade possa ter familiaridade com a execução das despesas públicas e da arrecadação para que ela compreenda o processo. Quanto mais esse processo for compreendido, melhor ele será”, afirmou.
Conforme dados do relatório da controladoria, a Secretaria de Estado de Educação (SEE) também superou o teto mínimo de repasses ao município para manutenção e desenvolvimento do ensino, com 26,46% dos recursos destinados, cerca de R$ 113,8 milhões.
Desse modo, a atual gestão conseguiu ultrapassar o índice mínimo de 25%. Assim como para a Saúde, o percentual foi obtido sobre os impostos e transferências constitucionais legais.
Pelo Fundo de Manutenção e Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica e Valorização dos Profissionais da Educação – Fundeb, o relatório apontou que município recebeu cerca R$ 109 milhões.
Desse montante, cerca de R$ 20 milhões que seriam recursos de ICMS foram depositados equivocadamente pelo estado, na conta do Fundeb.
Com a correção dos valores, Contagem recebeu, de fato, pelo fundo, cerca de R$80 milhões e dessa quantia, já destinou R$ 70,5 milhões para as despesas com remuneração dos profissionais do magistério.
Mesmo com a pandemia, o repasse permitiu à atual gestão planejar o retorno das aulas de forma remota, contratações de profissionais, entre outros investimentos necessários.
Pela Constituição Federal, estados e municípios devem aplicar, todos os anos, 15% de recursos advindos da arrecadação de impostos em ações e serviços públicos de Saúde e 25% na manutenção e desenvolvimento do ensino. As porcentagens representam um limite mínimo constitucional.
Todas as disposições, com relação à movimentação dos recursos dos estados quanto às necessidades de saúde da população estão inseridas na Constituição no artigo 77, complementado com a Emenda constitucional 29, de 13 de setembro de 2000, e a Lei Complementar 141, de 13 de janeiro de 2012. As bases que asseguram recursos mínimos para a Educação estão dispostas no artigo 212 da Constituição Federal.
