How can our urban jungles be transformed into skyscraper forests that help our cities provide new forms of sustenance, from urban farms to breathing buildings? The topic is increasingly in the public eye, and the answer is already cropping up on our streets. Garden City captures the growing global movement among contemporary architects for biodesigning buildings that are less structure and façade, more living entities, capable of being ecologically autonomous, horticulturally productive, and both pleasing to the eye and relevant to our day-to-day lifestyles.

Summary:
Much has been written about Britain's trailblazing post-1970s privatization program, but the biggest privatization of them all has until now escaped scrutiny: the privatization of land. Since Margaret Thatcher took power in 1979, and hidden from the public eye, about 10 per cent of the entire British land mass, including some of its most valuable real estate, has passed from public to private hands. Forest land, defence land, health service land and above all else local authority land- for farming and school sports, for recreation and housing - has been sold off en masse. Why? How? And with what social, economic and political consequences? “The New Enclosure” provides the first ever study of this profoundly significant phenomenon, situating it as a centrepiece of neoliberalism in Britain and as a successor programme to the original eighteenth-century enclosures. With more public land still slated for disposal, the book identifies the stakes and asks what, if anything, can and should be done.

Much like the unique adaptive strategies of city-native animals, urban plants often become distinctively intertwined with their cities’ human infrastructure, and this book explores both the scientific approaches to understanding these new ecologies and attempts on the part of writers and artists to engage with urban flora. Edited by the British cultural geographers Matthew Gandy and Sandra Jasper, the book comprises ecological reflections on city design, history, art and mapmaking, alongside philosophical excursions on the meaning of urban ecology in the Anthropocene.

La Ville végétale étudie les villes françaises depuis le XVIIe siècle sous un angle innovant qui est celui de leur nature végétale : parcs et jardins, certes, mais aussi plantes « hors-sol » qui circulent dans l’espace urbain (légumes, fleurs coupées, déchets végétaux, etc.). Il s’agit de montrer que la ville n’est pas que minérale et artificialisée et qu’au contraire le végétal en irrigue les artères, même si cette présence a fluctué au fil du temps, en quantité comme en qualité. L’ouvrage s’attache d’abord à comprendre comment, par qui et au prix de quelles contraintes la nature s’installe dans la ville. Puis il étudie les différents usages qui en sont faits : théâtre des hiérarchies sociales, lieu d’urbanité ou d’ensauvagement, production économique, objet d’étude savante, etc.
