Frederick Law Olmsted, who designed New York's Central Park, landscape architect John Charles Olmsted believed that pastoral spaces were integral to a healthy urban life. The success of Central Park brought attention to the company and sparked a nation-wide movement to beautify cities. By 1884, John Charles Olmsted had become a full partner in the Olmsted firm. In 1903, he traveled to Portland and Seattle, submitting master plans for park systems in both. He produced designs for several of the region's university campuses and smaller cities, as well as Spokane's premier Manito Park.

Résumé:
Depuis plus de trois siècles, se pose la question de la place de la nature dans l'aménagement des villes. Des premiers jardins ouverts au public à la fin du XVIe siècle, comme les Tuileries à Paris ou Hyde Park à Londres, aux forêts urbaines contemporaines, les réponses apportées par les architectes, ingénieurs, paysagistes et leurs commanditaires sont inséparables de préoccupations sociales. En même temps qu'elle contribue à l'hygiène publique, la nature participe à créer des liens entre les citadins. L'histoire révèle également la dimension technique de ces jardins et parcs urbains, inséparable par exemple des plantations de Paris sous le Second Empire ou de la création de Central Park à New York à la même époque. Face à la crise climatique actuelle, la nature joue un rôle central. Etudier l'évolution de la ou des natures urbaines, c'est aussi s'interroger sur le devenir des villes.

Résumé:
Filling Up is the first of two themes presented here. The leftover spaces created by the continual development of the city are examined as vital, attractive voids to be integrated into the urban dynamic, though perhaps not always in terms of recreational functions. A text by Aldo Vanini introduces several projects, such as the Tel Aviv Port Public Space Regeneration and the Schinkel Islands Park in Amsterdam. The second theme, “Delimiting”, investigates a redefinition of the concept of the urban square in newly built towns and urban areas. With an essay by Diego Terna, the projects include Music Park in Seville and the Dover Esplanade, among several others.

Résumé:
Frederick Law Olmsted (1822–1903) is considered the father of landscape architecture in the United States for his creation of several renowned urban parks and park systems around the country. Whether in Central Park in New York, the Emerald Necklace in Boston, or the park systems of Chicago, Milwaukee, Buffalo, Rochester, and Louisville—trees are essential elements of all of Olmsted’s park designs. Through Stanley Greenberg’s stunning series of black and white photographs of the trees that date to the beginnings of these parks, this volume offers an intimate encounter with Olmsted, his motifs, and his heritage. Three essays by renowned experts on history, sociology, and landscape architecture complement the narrative and present an interdisciplinary vision of Olmsted’s achievement.

Résumé:
Earthquakes. Wildfires. Floods. Drought. Tornadoes. Snakes in the sea, mountain lions, and a plague of bees. In this controversial tour de force of scholarship, unsparing vision, and inspired writing, Mike Davis, the author of ''City of quartz'', revisits Los Angeles as a Book of the Apocalypse theme park. By brilliantly juxtaposing L.A.’s fragile natural ecology with its disastrous environmental and social history, he compellingly shows a city deliberately put in harm’s way by land developers, builders, and politicians, even as the incalculable toll of inevitable future catastrophe continues to accumulate. Counterpointing L.A.’s central role in America’s fantasy life–the city has been destroyed no less than 138 times in novels and films since 1909–with its wanton denial of its own real history, Davis creates a revelatory kaleidoscope of American fact, imagery, and sensibility. Drawing upon a vast array of sources, ''Ecology of fear'' meticulously captures the nation’s violent malaise and desperate social unease at the millennial end of ''the American century.'' With savagely entertaining wit and compassionate rage, this book conducts a devastating reconnaissance of our all-too-likely urban future.
