The German landscape architect's planning group Valentien intend the garden that they are constructing, for Chenshan (Hill Chen) in the Song Jiang District of Shanghai (just outside the city center), to be such a gesture, as well as a model of plant conservation and scientific research development-and one of Shanghai's most ambitious landmarks. The project is enormous, and informed throughout by the architects' ecological imperatives: Energy-saving technologies are to be utilized in the garden's buildings (greenhouses, laboratories and education center) and renewable materials will be deployed throughout.

S’appuyant sur un recensement complet des fontaines de la région PACA, cet ouvrage propose de promener le lecteur à travers toute la Provence, mais aussi le Comtat- Venaissin, le Dauphiné, le comté de Nice et la principauté de Monaco pour lui faire découvrir les merveilleuses fontaines qui ont été édifiées au cours des siècles. On peut ainsi suivre leur évolution depuis le Moyen Âge jusqu’à l’époque contemporaine et découvrir l’affirmation de formes régionales ainsi que la manière dont ces formes se sont diffusées, autour de certaines villes ou le long de certains axes de circulation. Les nombreuses illustrations montrent la richesse d’un patrimoine souvent oublié ou du moins délaissé, depuis les fontaines rustiques qui se cachent au pied des villages, seul point d’eau où venaient s’approvisionner hommes et bêtes, jusqu’aux fontaines de prestige dont la diversité est telle qu’il n’y en a pas deux qui soient identiques. Panorama complet, superbement illustré, des fontaines de la région Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur qui nous entraîne aussi bien dans les grandes villes que dans les petits villages.

Summary:
Nurturing health, hope, and community, gardeners in cities and suburbs are reclaiming lost commons, transforming vacant lots into vibrant plots, turning waste into compost, and recreating what was once the most productive agriculture in recorded human history. In a history that has been hidden in plain sight, working-class gardeners have consistently played an outsized role. In London, they devised ways to feed themselves when wage labor fell short. In Paris, a superabundance of horse manure in the streets nourished urban gardens that fed two million residents. In Berlin, gardeners built social safety nets for those marginalized by the state. In Washington, DC, African American migrants brought rural traditions of self-provisioning that were later disrupted by “urban renewal.” In rustbelt Mansfield, Ohio, farming ex-cons grow hope for the city’s future. In post-Soviet Estonia, shared gardens became lifelines for survival amid economic upheaval. And in Amsterdam, activists are reclaiming sustainable farming practices in a sinking landscape oversaturated with fertilizers.
