Abstract

This volume reflects, through its 200 pages and high quality images, the author's interest to consolidate in the country still emerging discipline of landscape architecture. The publication introduces as well a number of challenges facing the exercise of this discipline today: the need, increasingly imperative, to establish a link between the landscape and local features of the territories, and "the obligation to incorporate environmental issues and sustainability of the projects."

Abstract

"This historic publication defines an important moment, as master photographer Joel Meyerowitz is the first photographer to document New York City's parks since the 1930s, when they were photographed as part of Franklin D. Roosevelt's WPA program. In this stunningly beautiful collection of images, Meyerowitz invites the viewer to discover the hidden pockets of wilderness that still exist within the urban environs of New York City. This compelling body of work is the result of a unique commission Meyerowitz received from the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation to document, interpret, and celebrate one of New York City's greatest legacies: the nearly 9,000 acres of parks in the five boroughs that have been left or returned to their most natural state. The images in this book are drawn from the thousands that make up the HP Archive of the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation."--Publisher's description.

Abstract

Cet ouvrage livre les clés de l'évolution des politiques de la nature dans les parcs nationaux français et des controverses qui l'ont marquée. Une première partie relate « l'histoire et les mémoires » des parcs métropolitains. La loi fondatrice de 1960 est mise en perspective historique, restituant les idées et les mouvements qui ont participé à la conception des premiers projets de parcs (Vanoise, Cévennes et Pyrénées). Le dessein utopique des « parcs culturels » conçu dans les années 1950 inspire ainsi largement la Vanoise et les Cévennes. Cette partie s'achève avec l'analyse des dif?cultés rencontrées pour créer un parc en mer d'Iroise. L'adoption problématique de la biodiversité comme norme d'action depuis les années 1990 fait l'objet des chapitres suivants. Tous les parcs sont le théâtre d'une confrontation entre savoirs empiriques et pratiques des usagers d'une part, savoirs scienti?ques de l'autre. Car il ne suf?t pas de dire qu'il faut promouvoir de bonnes pratiques et associer les populations locales à la préservation de la biodiversité ; il faut aussi donner leur place aux savoirs et aux savoir-faire vernaculaires. Les exemples des Cévennes et des Pyrénées montrent qu'il n'est pas toujours facile de le faire. La conclusion retrace l'itinéraire qui a conduit les parcs nationaux de la protection de la nature à la gestion de la biodiversité. Elle met en évidence le dé? qui reste à relever : transformer en partenaires des parcs des usagers qui leur furent longtemps hostiles. Cet ouvrage s'adresse à ceux qui sont concernés par la préservation et la gestion de la biodiversité dans les parcs nationaux et dans les autres espaces protégés. Il intéressera plus généralement les gestionnaires et les militants qui cherchent une façon d'habiter la nature et d'en tirer parti tout en la respectant.
