Résumé:
Postindustrial transitions and changing cultures of nature have produced an unprecedented degree of fascination with urban biodiversity. The “other nature” that flourishes in marginal urban spaces, at one remove from the controlled contours of metropolitan nature, is not the poor relation of rural flora and fauna. Indeed, these islands of biodiversity underline the(...)

Résumé:
Postindustrial transitions and changing cultures of nature have produced an unprecedented degree of fascination with urban biodiversity. The “other nature” that flourishes in marginal urban spaces, at one remove from the controlled contours of metropolitan nature, is not the poor relation of rural flora and fauna. Indeed, these islands of biodiversity underline the porosity of the distinction between urban and rural. In this volume, Matthew Gandy explores urban nature as a multilayered material and symbolic entity, through the lens of urban ecology and the parallel study of diverse cultures of nature at a global scale. A study of urban nature that draws together different strands of urban ecology as well as insights derived from feminist, posthuman, and postcolonial thought.

It has become conventional to think of urbanism and landscape as opposing one another—or to think of landscape as merely providing temporary relief from urban life as shaped by buildings and infrastructure.

Mobilisée par ce constat inquiétant, une communauté de spécialistes intervient pour les préserver, les soigner puis les renouveler: les arbres sont leurs patients. Parmi eux, les experts arboricoles – dont l’auteur fait partie – se rendent régulièrement à leur chevet pour évaluer leur état de santé et déceler leurs éventuelles défaillances. Ce livre met en lumière l’activité de ces praticiens, peu nombreux en France, et propose au lecteur d’aller différemment à la rencontre de ces végétaux urbains.

Résumé:
Les ghat de Bénarès forment un ensemble de constructions ingénieuses et modulables, qui se déploie de façon monumentale sur la rive concave d’un méandre du Gange. Ce site exceptionnel, constituant un espace public de plus de six kilomètres, matérialise la relation étroite qui lie les habitants de la ville et les pèlerins au fleuve sacré, dans un contexte culturel et religieux où l’accès à l’eau est primordial. En s’appuyant sur une enquête de terrain approfondie, sur de nombreux relevés architecturaux et sur une série de panoramas datant du 18e et du 19e siècles, Savitri Jalais interroge les éléments qui ont concouru à la naissance et au développement de ce front d’eau sur le temps long. À travers l’analyse des formes et techniques de construction employées dans le but de résister aux contraintes exercées par l’eau, l’auteure retrace le dialogue pluriséculaire qui s’est établi entre la géographie des lieux et le paysage urbain et révèle le potentiel urbanistique de ces berges en gradins et leur pertinence quant aux pratiques quotidiennes des habitants et des pèlerins.

Norman's "Edible Park" was developed using the principles of permaculture, a form of vegetable gardening in which different plants are combined in such a way that they complement one another's needs as they grow. More than just a gardening model, permaculture is a nature-based design philosophy that can be used as a guide for architecture, product design and to improve society in general. In Edible Park, Norman explains his methods, his sources of inspiration and the artistic and social-critical context around his work.
