Aujourd’hui, ces mêmes caractères sont reprochés aux spécimens de cette espèce qui évolue dans les régions tempérées de tous les continents. Simon Boudvin a suivi le développement d’une population d’ailantes pendant dix ans sur un territoire de l’Est parisien, entre les communes de Bagnolet et Montreuil. Il partage ici un extrait de son relevé photographique, complété par le récit de l’histoire, des voyages, de l’intégration et du rejet de l’ailante dans nos sciences et cultures. Cette monographie située interroge notre capacité à accueillir l’apparition d’une forme de vie spontanée et à relâcher notre maîtrise exclusive sur l’espace de nos villes.

On the one hand, this book explores the proactive value of wild landscapes to improve urban quality, in contemporary terms of beauty, health, and livability; on the other hand, it quesitons the risks of 'wild' as a buzzword that renews anti-urban positions or feeds practices and policies of consensual and cheap-plaudit 'greenery'. The aim is to account for the variety of readings raised by the urban wilderness, which continue to find their discriminating element in the restless relationship between city and nature.

Summary:
This publication looks at agricultural practices and the appropriation of space in the city of Porto, Portugal, and the different ways in which this phenomenon has manifested in the aftermath of the financial crisis 2011. The book recounts the stories of ten gardens and the people running them, who have resuscitated urban brownfield sites by growing fruit and vegetables on them as a source of food. To achieve this end, they have developed infrastructures like watering and irrigation systems and methods of cultivation, recycling, and composting, while also building storage structures and producing their own tools. Although the gardens are primarily about people providing for themselves, they also lend themselves to recreation and leisure activities.

Summary:
For centuries the garden has served as a central element in Muslim culture. The new or restored gardens created by AKTC show how these urban oases are catalysts for positive economic, social and cultural change. They encourage ethical ideals of stewardship, ecology, and beauty in the built environment. Numerous authors first trace the history of Islamic gardens and help clarify the environmental and design ethos of Islam. Texts also explain the beneficial sociological and economic impact of urban gardens and parks. Succeeding chapters identify thirteen specific projects that illustrate these principles. Each project demonstrates how green spaces bring people of different backgrounds together to provide places for reflection, spirituality, education and leisure. Together these achievements demonstrate how parks and gardens can enhance economic, cultural, and general well-being.

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.
