Résumé:
Au sein des quartiers et dans les projets de rénovation urbaine, tout comme autour de l’habitat et des immeubles de bureaux, le végétal apporte aux citoyens de nombreux bienfaits : il incite à une activité physique, favorise les rencontres, purifie l’air et préserve la biodiversité. De l’intimité d’un petit jardin breton à la métamorphose des berges du Rhône à Lyon, les quarante aménagements paysagers présentés dans ce livre contribuent à l’embellissement de notre quotidien. Outre leur fonctionnalité, l’harmonie de la composition et l’émotion du premier contact visuel, ils ont convaincu le jury des Victoires du Paysage par leur intégration au site, le choix d’essences adaptées au contexte, des solutions éco-responsables pour l’entretien et l’implication des usagers.

Résumé:
In the 21st century the architects and designers of urban spaces face great challenges to integrate nature in order to transform 'cement forests' into 'forest cities'. Perhaps the best solution is to go green with vertical landscapes. More than just a decorative trend, this is a means of bringing life and greenery into metropolitan areas by using different framing systems to create compositions of plant life and adapt them to diverse settings, including offices, factories, parking lots, hotels, and installations within larger parks. Enriched by the reflections of the inventive protagonists of this fertile new aesthetic, Going Green with Vertical Landscapes is organised by theme and canvases early experiments conducted by famous design companies such as Vo Trong Nghia Architects (VTN), Fytogreen Australia and RYUICHI ASHIZAWA ARCHITECTS & associates. All of these projects combine man-made materials, recent technologies, and diverse types of vegetation to conquer the vertical dimension.

Résumé:
Over time, with industrialization and urban sprawl, we have driven nature out of our neighborhoods and cities. But we can invite it back by designing landscapes that look and function more like they do in the wild: robust, diverse, and visually harmonious. ''Planting in a Post-Wild World'' by Thomas Rainer and Claudia West is an inspiring call to action dedicated to the idea of a new nature—a hybrid of both the wild and the cultivated—that can ?ourish in our cities and suburbs. This is both a post-wild manifesto and practical guide that describes how to incorporate and layer plants into plant communities to create an environment that is re?ective of natural systems and thrives within our built world.

Traditional country parks, which originated in the United Kingdom, are very different to the country parks we know today.

Conveniently located in the outer city suburbs, with tranquil, natural environments, this new type of park met society's desire to return to nature, and theses spaces have since become hotspots for tourism and leisure.
