Incendies en Sibérie, en Californie, en Amazonie. Les feux de forêt prennent depuis quelques années une ampleur telle qu’ils en viennent à changer de nature : nous avons désormais affaire, un peu partout dans le monde, à des « mégafeux ». D’une étendue sans précédent, nul ne parvient à les arrêter. À l’heure de la crise écologique, ils révèlent l’ambiguïté fondamentale du rapport que nous entretenons aujourd’hui avec la nature. Une nature à la fois idéalisée, bonne en soi, à laquelle il ne faudrait pas toucher mais que l’on s’évertue à vouloir dominer. En cela, les mégafeux sont le symptôme d’une société malade. Un symptôme qui devrait nous pousser à repenser la manière dont nous dialoguons avec une « nature » qui n’est jamais que le résultat des soins attentifs que les êtres humains prodiguent, depuis des millénaires, à leur environnement. C’est cette attention qu’il est urgent de retrouver.(Ed.)

"Shedding light on the future of urban spaces, this path-breaking book is a significant contribution to contemporary climate change scholarship. It synthesizes interdisciplinary research with practical policy, putting an emphasis on positive environmental and socially just outcomes and urban regeneration. Hot Cities offers insights from eminent academics and practitioners, providing both a practical and theoretical outlook on strategy development in a climate crisis. Chapters call for urgent responses to the urban heat problem, providing future projections to illustrate why this is important. They highlight that despite prominent issues within cities, such as maladaptive practices or unsustainable path dependency in city policy and planning, urban spaces are likely to be the safest and most protected locations from the uncompromising outcomes of global warming. This enlightening book will be incredibly useful for scholars of human geography, urban planning, climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction, environmental humanities, urban design and urban and regional studies. Due to its broad applicability, it will also benefit design practitioners and community developers"--
