Résumé:
Ongoing use of fossil fuels, the development of industrial zones in city centers, and even our growing reliance on air conditioners have led to extreme climate swings. Now an urgent public concern, global warming alarms ever more people—and yet most of them still hesitate to identify a workable plan of action. Approaching the problem head-on, "Solar Guerilla" highlights a number of programs, architects, and companies that are already active in such cities as Chicago, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Tel Aviv. In a series of case studies, this book focuses on efficient strategies implemented at the local level, where collaboration within communities may be the key to effectively combating environmental damage. As companies like China’s Turenscape and Israel’s Electreon thrive alongside programs such as Chicago’s Third Nature approach to its famous riverwalk, the local efforts begin to yield global results. As "Solar Guerilla" demonstrates, these and other initiatives may be the best way to counter the emotional fatigue and physical disasters that currently plague us in our all-too-rapidly-changing urban environment.

Résumé:
Climate change is one of the major challenges facing cities in the future. Landscape architecture is particularly in demand here because it offers solutions that are characterized by complexity and interdisciplinarity and contribute to the quality of everyday life. These range from green roofs and facades to urban gardening and the landscaping of large-scale protection works. This volume presents measures and plans of eleven major cities in North and South America, from Vancouver to Rio de Janeiro, to protect their inhabitants and their habitats against future storms, floods, landslides or long periods of heat and drought. Projects in the featured cities are analyzed in their geographic and climatic context. The author also addresses the social and cultural dimensions of resilience.

Résumé:
En 1961, quand le président Kennedy a lancé le projet d’envoyer des astronautes américains sur la Lune dans un délai de dix ans, on ne savait trop comment un tel objectif pourrait être atteint. L’essentiel, c’était de damer le pion à l’Union soviétique. Avec beaucoup d’argent, d’énergie et de créativité, les États-Unis ont fini par réussir cet exploit scientifique, avec des retombées auxquelles nul ne se serait attendu. Encore aujourd’hui, une part disproportionnée des prix Nobel de sciences revient chaque année à des Américains, en grande partie parce que leur pays a décidé de se rendre sur la Lune avant les Russes voilà plus d’un demi-siècle. Décider de relever le défi du changement climatique entraînera toutes sortes de retombées bénéfiques inattendues. C’est ce que l’histoire nous apprend.
