Résumé:
The book guides the readers through the community gardens created in vacant lots in the little Manhattan neighborhood called Loisaida, born to accomodate the waves of immigrants moving to the USA. Michela Pasquali tells the gardens’ story and their development and evolution over the past thirty years, including the recent risk of their being demolished due to building speculation in the area. First created at the beginning of the 1970s, thanks to the initiative of a group of local residents, the Loisaida community gardens stand out as one of the most interesting examples of New York’s hidden green urban spaces.

Résumé:
Une synthèse inédite de l’art des jardins au XXè siècle. L'humanité a toujours essayé de façonner la nature selon l'idée qu'elle se faisait de la perfection – cette notion évoluant au gré des époques –, oscillant entre le désir de la maîtriser et celui de la laisser libre. Au XXè siècle, l’art des jardins et le paysagisme en France n’ont cessé de soulever à leur manière un débat essentiel, opposant les partisans d’une beauté «libre» et «naturelle», soucieux de préserver la diversité des paysages et des écosystèmes, à ceux d’une beauté soumise à la puissance rationnelle et unificatrice de la technique. Parmi les livres consacrés à l’histoire de l’art des jardins en France, peu nombreux sont ceux qui traitent du Xè siècle. Cet ouvrage richement illustré de Jean-Pierre Le Dantec synthétise ce débat en confrontant le «sauvage» et le «régulier», qui ont marqué la création jardiniste et paysagiste française tout au long du XXè siècle, depuis les conceptions de Jean-Claude-Nicolas Forestier jusqu'à notre époque d'«urbain généralisé», en passant par le jardin art déco ou cubiste de Véra, Moreux, Gévrékian ou Lurçat ou le paysagisme «bocager» de Le Corbusier dans l'entre-deux guerres. De nos jours, le débat se situe entre les défenseurs intransigeants des écosystèmes existants et les partisans de la toute puissance de la technique. Premier à embrasser dans sa totalité cette histoire méconnue, cet ouvrage entend rendre justice à un art réputé mineur en le situant dans son contexte social, politique, économique, culturel et international. À l'heure où la vogue des jardins fait en France un retour étonnant, ce livre propose de multiples axes de réflexion : le jardin ne serait-il pas un miroir de notre société ouverte, urbaine, technologique et démocratique ?
