Abstract

Bousculés par la crise environnementale et préoccupés par leur alimentation et leur santé, les habitants de la métropole considèrent à nouveau l'agriculture. Mais la vision idéale qu'ils en ont gardée est difficile à projeter face à l'organisation et les pratiques de la ville contemporaine. L'ouvrage "Capital agricole - Chantiers pour une ville cultivée" déterre les liens qualitatifs entre production agricole et production urbaine, entre le cultivé et l'habité. Architectes, urbanistes, agriculteurs, écologues, ingénieurs, entrepreneurs, historiens, géographes, sociologues..., réunis autour de l'agence d'architecture SOA, reviennent sur l'exceptionnel patrimoine agricole disparu au cours du XXe siècle, ainsi que sur les mutations sociales, économiques et territoriales qui ont profondément modifié l'organisation des rapports ville-nature-agriculture. A partir des formes ordinaires de l'agglomération parisienne - grands ensembles, lotissements, zones d'activités- cette étude invite à une revalorisation des sols par les activités agricoles des fermes existantes ou à créer, et à structurer un réseau de nouvelles centralités civiques à l'échelle métropolitaine.

Abstract

In the twenty-first century, cities worldwide must respond to a growing and diverse population, ever-shifting economic conditions, new technologies, and a changing climate. Short-term, community-based projects—from pop-up parks to open streets initiatives—have become a powerful and adaptable new tool of urban activists, planners, and policy-makers seeking to drive lasting improvements in their cities and beyond. These quick, often low-cost, and creative projects are the essence of the Tactical Urbanism movement. Whether creating vibrant plazas seemingly overnight or re-imagining parking spaces as neighborhood gathering places, they offer a way to gain public and government support for investing in permanent projects, inspiring residents and civic leaders to experience and shape urban spaces in a new way.   Tactical Urbanism, written by Mike Lydon and Anthony Garcia, two founders of the movement, promises to be the foundational guide for urban transformation. The authors begin with an in-depth history of the Tactical Urbanism movement and its place among other social, political, and urban planning trends. A detailed set of case studies, from guerilla wayfinding signs in Raleigh, to pavement transformed into parks in San Francisco, to a street art campaign leading to a new streetcar line in El Paso, demonstrate the breadth and scalability of tactical urbanism interventions. Finally, the book provides a detailed toolkit for conceiving, planning, and carrying out projects, including how to adapt them based on local needs and challenges.   Tactical Urbanism will inspire and empower a new generation of engaged citizens, urban designers, land use planners, architects, and policymakers to become key actors in the transformation of their communities.
