Résumé:
L’observation des territoires urbains contemporains fait apparaître un paradoxe singulier. Si les politiques publiques s’efforcent de freiner la consommation de sol et les pressions sur le paysage par la promotion de stratégies pour juguler l’étalement urbain, un stock considérable de terrains situés au coeur des villes et des agglomérations n’en demeure pas moins à l’abandon. Ces friches urbaines, qui abritaient autrefois des activités industrielles, ferroviaires, militaires ou infrastructurelles, offrent pourtant de précieuses réserves de terrains constructibles. Selon certaines estimations récentes, une surface équivalant au double de la superficie d'une ville comme Genève sommeille actuellement au coeur des territoires urbains en Suisse. Plusieurs exemples de projets de reconversion ont mis en évidence la pertinence des démarches visant à régénérer les friches urbaines en quartiers animés, attractifs pour l’habitat et propices au déploiement d’activités économiques, sociales et culturelles. Cet ouvrage dresse un état des lieux précis de la situation. A l’aide de multiples exemples , il se focalise sur les stratégies de régénération des friches urbaines dans une perspective de développement territorial durable. Il fournit enfin une panoplie de propositions concrètes, visant à transférer les enseignements tirés d'expériences pionnières en matière d’intégration de la durabilité vers les pratiques courantes de la planification urbaine.

Résumé:
(Re)Designing Nature presents innovative design concepts for enhancing the presence and presentation of nature in cities. Inspiring its readers to contemplate our current relationship to nature, it animates debates about ecologically sustainable and aesthetically intelligent environmental design. In particular, the twin phenomena of rapidly shrinking cities and rapidly expanding megacities call for new models for the intercession and housing of urban nature. Artists and landscape architects offer proposals for alternative uses of empty city lots and old industrial areas, designing parasitical gardens in the middle of the city or utopian visions for a greater symbiosis of culture and nature.

Résumé:
Urban Wildscapes is one of the first edited collections of writings about urban ‘wilderness’ landscapes. Evolved, rather than designed or planned, these derelict, abandoned and marginal spaces are frequently overgrown with vegetation and host to a wide range of human activities. They include former industrial sites, landfill, allotments, cemeteries, woods, infrastructural corridors, vacant lots and a whole array of urban wastelands at a variety of different scales. Frequently maligned in the media, these landscapes have recently been re-evaluated and this collection assembles these fresh perspectives in one volume.

Résumé:
Field Guide to the Street Trees of New York City acquaints New Yorkers and visitors alike with fifty species of trees commonly found in the neighborhoods where people live, work, and travel. Beautiful, original drawings of leaves and stunning photographs of bark, fruit, flower, and twig accompany informative descriptions of each species. Detailed maps of the five boroughs identify all of the city's neighborhoods, and specific addresses pinpoint where to find a good example of each tree species. Trees provide invaluable benefits to the Big Apple: they reduce the rate of respiratory disease, increase property values, cool homes and sidewalks in the summer, block the harsh winds of winter, clean the air, absorb storm water runoff, and provide habitat and food for the city's wildlife.

Résumé:
A paradigm shift is roiling the environmental world. For decades people have unquestioningly accepted the idea that our goal is to preserve nature in its pristine, pre-human state. But many scientists have come to see this as an outdated dream that thwarts bold new plans to save the environment and prevents us from having a fuller relationship with nature. Humans have changed the landscapes they inhabit since prehistory, and climate change means even the remotest places now bear the fingerprints of humanity. In this publication, Emma Marris argues convincingly that it is time to look forward and create the "rambunctious garden," a hybrid of wild nature and human management.
