Summary:

Die Aire fliesst südlich von Genf durch eine Ebene, die von alters her landwirtschaftlich genutzt wird. Ab Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde der Flusslauf zum Schutz vor Hochwassern nach und nach kanalisiert. 2001 fiel der Entscheid, dem Gewässer wieder einen natürlicheren Lauf zu geben. Diese Monografie dokumentiert die vielfach preisgekrönte Renaturalisierung der Aire am Genfer Stadtrand. Projektskizzen, Fotografien von Bau und neuem Flussverlauf, Essays und Erklärungen internationaler Autorinnen und Autoren zu den Interventionen zeigen, wie das Gewässer wieder zu einem wichtigen Bestandteil der Landschaft aufgewertet wurde.
