But, driven in part by environmental concerns, landscape has recently emerged as a model and medium for the city, with some theorists arguing that landscape architects(...)

Du modeste érable qui ombrage le parking d’une école au vénérable tilleul qui veille sur l‘entrée d’une bâtisse remarquable, les arbres des villes sont constamment confrontés à de multiples pressions qui réduisent leur espérance de vie. Mobilisée par ce constat inquiétant, une communauté de spécialistes intervient pour les préserver, les soigner puis les renouveler: les arbres sont leurs patients. Parmi eux, les experts arboricoles – dont l’auteur fait partie – se rendent régulièrement à leur chevet pour évaluer leur état de santé et déceler leurs éventuelles défaillances. Ce livre met en lumière l’activité de ces praticiens, peu nombreux en France, et propose au lecteur d’aller différemment à la rencontre de ces végétaux urbains.

Summary:
Les ghat de Bénarès forment un ensemble de constructions ingénieuses et modulables, qui se déploie de façon monumentale sur la rive concave d’un méandre du Gange. Ce site exceptionnel, constituant un espace public de plus de six kilomètres, matérialise la relation étroite qui lie les habitants de la ville et les pèlerins au fleuve sacré, dans un contexte culturel et religieux où l’accès à l’eau est primordial. En s’appuyant sur une enquête de terrain approfondie, sur de nombreux relevés architecturaux et sur une série de panoramas datant du 18e et du 19e siècles, Savitri Jalais interroge les éléments qui ont concouru à la naissance et au développement de ce front d’eau sur le temps long. À travers l’analyse des formes et techniques de construction employées dans le but de résister aux contraintes exercées par l’eau, l’auteure retrace le dialogue pluriséculaire qui s’est établi entre la géographie des lieux et le paysage urbain et révèle le potentiel urbanistique de ces berges en gradins et leur pertinence quant aux pratiques quotidiennes des habitants et des pèlerins.

Une manière de nous reconnecter au vivant, pour dessiner de nouvelles perspectives sur l’art de concevoir la ville de demain avec le génie animal. La moule zébrée va-t-elle sauver New York ? Le scorpion terroriser les habitants de São Paulo ? Les kangourous s’ébattre dans la forêt de Rambouillet ? Savions-nous seulement que ces bêtes vivaient si près de chez nous ? En pleine crise de la biodiversité, nos villes semblent devenir des jungles hybrides où se croisent plus de créatures que dans nos forêts. Certaines ont muté, leurs comportements se sont transformés. La souris de Brooklyn résiste aux polluants lourds, l’escargot d’Amsterdam combat l’îlot de chaleur urbain, l’hirondelle de la Côte Est réduit sa voilure pour éviter les gratte-ciels. Au travers de 1 001 histoires de bêtes de villes, l’architecte Nicolas Gilsoul nous offre un bestiaire érudit de nos territoires et nous incite à nous reconnecter au vivant. En chemin, il dessine de nouvelles perspectives sur l’art de concevoir la ville avec le génie animal. À l’évidence, observer des bêtes, ça rend intelligent.
