Following the calamitous events of 2011 in Japan, Fuminori Nousaku and Mio Tsuneyama began to look at the link between materials and energy related to daily life, such as household goods, homes, food, and waste. They sought ways to reinvent how we live, from dependence on infrastructure and industry to another relationship: off-grid homes that generate solar power, gardens that harness the power of microbes in the soil, shared homes in vacant buildings, and construction using discarded materials. The wildness that survives the city enjoys fluctuation and overcomes inconvenience. This book introduces the collectives involved in these activities along with practices and resources.

Summary:
''The Right to Nature'' is a new chapter of reflection and work of the AG greenscape, centered on the current and renewed relationship between man and nature, and the consequent transformation of our cities through new ways of living, inhabiting, working with nature and the landscape as the protagonist, in every area, at all project scales, as a social balancer and activator of a new urban sociality. The relationship between man and nature today is an urgent issue in the debate on the contemporary city, but it still has to be truly explored, defined, and built. Throughout seven main topics – Green and blue infrastructures, Regeneration, Public space, Dwelling, Green welfare, Heritage, and Care –, the book explores contemporary urban landscape issues at the different scales of the project, in the light of the relationship between human beings and nature.

Summary:
Ten years after its initial publication, "Weather in the city" is more relevant than ever. Prolonged heat waves are a source of many stress-related problems, especially in densely populated areas. Certain wind phenomena in cities have also caused issues in the atmosphere. Based on these factors, Sanda Lenzholzer shows how basic climatic processes work in an urban environment, and how they can be influenced by spatial planning and urban design. This revised edition draws on current examples in demonstrating how the comfort of the urban environment can be enhanced using modern techniques and new methods. The book is both a reference work and a source of inspiration for all those engaged in creating a liveable city: be they clients, policymakers, professionals or students involved in urban design, landscape architecture and planning.

From urban gardening to rewilding projects, wild practices are gaining ground. Are these trends signs of genuine transformation or just the commercialization of sustainability? How are other disciplines rethinking wildness? And how can architects and planners engage critically with these ideas? "Let’s Talk Wild!" brings together 12 interdisciplinary voices in a multi-layered dialogue on chaos, creativity, and the complex meanings of wildness.

Summary:
The unresolved limits of the post-capitalist city give rise to interventions in the city and the contemporary landscape in which the planner has to rely on a knowledge of other fields. The inevitable multidisciplinary activity at these frontiers has been an object of study during recent decades. This book brings together these reflections and some of their achievements in projects whose common denominator is their condition of marginality, of contiguity with prior structures with which they try to establish connections and continuities. The four parts into which the book is divided make reference to projectural policies conditioned by work on the boundaries of the pre-existing and to the interpretation of their settings: stretches of water, infrastructures, cultural and artificial natures. Analysed here are border zones, edges, frontiers and fringes of the contemporary city with itself, with nature, and with the boundaries between the natural and the colonised landscape.

Objet d'une urbanisation sans précédent, le Chicago des années 1920 constitue un gigantesque " laboratoire social ". Fascinés par le comportement de l'homme dans son nouveau milieu urbain, des sociologues, dont Robert Park, Ernest Burgess, Roderick Mackenzie, William Thomas et Louis Wirth, jettent les bases d'une "approche écologique de la ville". Groupes sociaux, territoires, ségrégation; mobilité; réseaux de relations, mentalités, sociabilité : pour la première fois, la ville est pensée comme société, comme culture et, finalement, comme état d'esprit. Grâce à ces nouveaux concepts, les sociologues de Chicago se donnent pour objectif de produire des connaissances utiles au règlement des problèmes sociaux concrets, particulièrement ceux de l'assimilation de millions d'immigrants à la société américaine. Leurs méthodes de travail, annonçant la sociologie qualitative, vont profondément marquer la recherche sociologique. Cet ouvrage rassemble les textes fondateurs de ce courant, ainsi qu'un article de Maurice Halbwachs sur la croissance de Chicago et son caractère exemplaire de creuset ethnique et culturel, et des textes de Georg Simmel, qui esquissait, dès 1903, la spécificité d'une personnalité urbaine.
