L’objectif de cet ouvrage est de guider tous les acteurs de la construction qui veulent s’engager dans une démarche de neutralité carbone, tout en y incluant la reconquête de la biodiversité et la préservation des ressources. Il propose une analyse de la réglementation environnementale 2020 (RE2020) et de la loi Climat et résilience de 2021 pour en identifier les leviers de conception, les gestes d’éco-gestion et les pratiques possibles pour le bâti, la ville et le paysage. Il présente de nombreuses pistes de réflexion et des réalisations pratiques qui permettent de se projeter dans le monde de demain pour concevoir et construire autrement. Conçu par le mouvement Unisson(s), il ambitionne de créer l’émergence d’une nouvelle architecture répondant aux enjeux climatiques et énergétiques de demain incluant le bas carbone et le vivant.

Jonathan Barnett and Larry Beasley seek to demonstrate that a sustainable built and natural environment can be achieved through ecodesign, which integrates the practice of planning and urban design with environmental conservation, through normal business practices and the kinds of capital programmes and regulations already in use in most communities.

Résumé:
Cities are at once among humanity’s crowning achievements and core drivers of the climate crisis. Their dependence on the outside world for vital resources is causing global temperatures to rise and wildlife habitats to shrink. But we have the opportunity to make cities more sustainable by transforming the built environment. Dickson D. Despommier proposes a plan for creating a new, self-sustaining urban landscape. He argues that we can find solutions through the concept of biomimicry: emulating successful strategies found in nature. A better city is possible if we heed the lessons that forests and trees teach about how to store carbon, grow food, collect rainwater, and convert sunlight into energy. Touring established and leading-edge technologies, ''The new city'' provides a blueprint for tomorrow’s urban environment. Cities built from wood will be more resilient and less destructive than concrete and steel construction; they will also encourage reforestation, boosting carbon sequestration. Vertical farms inside city limits will supply residents with a reliable, healthy food supply. Buildings will harvest moisture from the rain and air to secure a clean water supply. Renewable energy, including not only wind, solar, and geothermal but also clear photovoltaic window glass and nonpolluting hydrogen fuel cells, will power a cleaner city.
