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.

How can our urban jungles be transformed into skyscraper forests that help our cities provide new forms of sustenance, from urban farms to breathing buildings? The topic is increasingly in the public eye, and the answer is already cropping up on our streets. Garden City captures the growing global movement among contemporary architects for biodesigning buildings that are less structure and façade, more living entities, capable of being ecologically autonomous, horticulturally productive, and both pleasing to the eye and relevant to our day-to-day lifestyles.

La Ville végétale étudie les villes françaises depuis le XVIIe siècle sous un angle innovant qui est celui de leur nature végétale : parcs et jardins, certes, mais aussi plantes « hors-sol » qui circulent dans l’espace urbain (légumes, fleurs coupées, déchets végétaux, etc.). Il s’agit de montrer que la ville n’est pas que minérale et artificialisée et qu’au contraire le végétal en irrigue les artères, même si cette présence a fluctué au fil du temps, en quantité comme en qualité. L’ouvrage s’attache d’abord à comprendre comment, par qui et au prix de quelles contraintes la nature s’installe dans la ville. Puis il étudie les différents usages qui en sont faits : théâtre des hiérarchies sociales, lieu d’urbanité ou d’ensauvagement, production économique, objet d’étude savante, etc.

The rediscovery of the city that has been evident recently has by no means superseded the human desire for nature. On the contrary, the goal has been finding urban solutions that do justice to these growing needs and do so in ways that meet the requirements for design, ecology, sociology, and economy.

Summary:
The rediscovery of the city that has been evident recently has by no means superseded the human desire for nature. On the contrary, the goal has been finding urban solutions that do justice to these growing needs and do so in ways that meet the requirements for design, ecology, sociology, and economy. This publication addresses the subject of designing inner-city spaces. It documents twenty recently realized examples in Europe, most of which feature greenery, designed by international landscape architects such as Gustafson Porter, Field Operations, Michel Desvigne, Gross.Max, Latz + Partner, and West 8. The projects, built between 2004 and 2010, range from private urban gardens by way of squares, streets, and promenades to large-scale projects such as the revitalization of riverside areas or master plans for the green spaces of entire cities. Urban greenery is an important contribution to ecological urban development. The projects documented offer examples of how this can succeed using the most modern materials and technologies.
