Summary:
Plant life is a subject frequently ignored in the context of urban theory, and the essays in 'The Botanical City' offer a fresh perspective into new ecological forms that continue to emerge in cities across the world. 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.

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:
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.

This is the first book published by a+t ediciones in the "In common" series, which came about in 2005 in the pages of a+t magazine. "The public chance" offers a renewed vision of some of those projects and a third of new interventions, all of them under thematic analysis.

Summary:
Green areas of all kinds have gained significance for contemporary urban planning. In addition to the importance for the structure and appearance of urban spaces, these areas have very different social, ecological and economic functions. For instance, they can serve as relaxation and communication rooms, or as habitats for flora and fauna they can have an extremely positive influence on the micro-climate, not to mention the increasing attention they receive from the real estate business as a factor in site evaluation. This volume presents a broad spectrum of green areas from around the world, like urban parks, green facades, public gardens and green city squares. The interplay of international trends, regional characteristics and local traditions is especially interesting. The selection of projects shows the various tendencies of this discipline at the junction of landscape architecture and urban planning.
