Abstract

Le présent travail consiste en une recherche qualitative exploratoire du travail de façades biomimétiques. Il s’agit de proposer un outil d’aide à la conception de telles façades après analyse de six cas d’étude à travers le monde mais également au moyen d’une analogie forte avec la peau biologique de l’homme. Cette analyse permettra de mettre en place des critères qui seront soumis à l’avis d’experts concepteurs

Abstract

The confluence between the Gausa river and the main river Gudbrandsdalslågen (Norway) is experiencing flooding events on a yearly basis. Flood mitigation measures have been constructed but are threatening the biodiversity of floodplains’ ecosystems. To avoid this kind of inconveniences, alternative strategies such as nature-based solutions, aiming to assess environmental, social and economic challenges by mimicking nature, are being explored. However, the concept remains unknown to the public and local people tend to doubt about its efficacity.&#13;The present master thesis describes nature-based solutions and aims to summarizes barriers that could prevent the implementation of NbS projects as well as communication-related drivers and strategies that could enable it.&#13;The second objective is the quantification and visualisation of the changes in land use that happened in the delta of the Gausa through time (1947-2019) by analysing aerial images in QGIS in order to communicate efficiently with project partners, stakeholders and broader audience. The end product is a mapping project meant to be used as communication tool.&#13;This work has been produced in the framework of SABICAS, a project funded by the Norwegian Research Council (https://www.sabicas.no/).

Abstract

Les solutions fondées sur la nature (SfN) sont de plus en plus appliquées pour guider la conception de paysages et de villes résilientes afin de leur permettre d'atteindre des objectifs de développement économique avec des résultats bénéfiques pour l'environnement et la société. Le concept de SfN est étroitement lié à d'autres concepts, notamment celui de la durabilité, de la résilience, des services écosystémiques, du couplage entre l'homme et l'environnement et des infrastructures vertes (bleues). De surcroît, les SfN représentent une approche du développement plus efficace et plus rentable que les systèmes traditionnels. La Commission européenne s'engage activement à investir dans les SfN en tant que moteur du développement d'approches basées sur les services écosystémiques en Europe.&#13;L'ensemble des connaissances présentées dans ce travail met en évidence les applications des SfN en tant qu'outils adaptables pour renforcer la capacité des paysages et des villes afin de relever les défis environnementaux, économiques et sociétaux actuels. &#13;La planification et la mise en œuvre des SfN peuvent s'avérer très difficile, car il s'agit de solutions qui interviennent dans des systèmes socio-écologiques très complexes et qui nécessitent le regroupement de l'expertise de différents secteurs et disciplines. Les praticiens qui travaillent quotidiennement sur l'adaptation au climat et l'atténuation de ses effets ne sont pas nécessairement familiers avec les SfN. En outre, lorsqu'ils connaissent le concept, l'expérience de la mise en œuvre des SfN n’est pas acquise. &#13;Ce travail tente d’établir un référentiel de connaissances ainsi que divers outils permettant aux praticiens d'adopter les SfN de plusieurs manières. &#13;Le TFE est divisé en plusieurs parties : &#13;-La 1ère partie aborde les SfN, leur rôle dans un contexte urbain, leur rôle pour la gestion de l’eau et également les différentes expériences relatives à leur mise en œuvre.&#13;-La 2ème partie introduit l’approche ainsi que la méthodologie utilisée pour les études de cas réalisées dans la troisième partie. &#13;-La 3ème partie aborde les études de cas qui prennent place dans deux villes différentes. Nous avons adopté une stratégie de recherche qualitative et une conception d'étude de cas multiples. Quatre projets utilisant les SfN pour la gestion de l’eau en ville ont été sélectionnés à cette fin. Rotterdam et Copenhague sont des villes particulièrement bien adaptées à ce travail en raison de la grande attention qui a été accordée à la durabilité urbaine, mais aussi à la collaboration avec les citoyens. &#13;-La 4ème partie de ce travail se consacre à la discussion des résultats obtenus suite aux différentes études de cas.

Abstract

The climate crisis is hitting around the world, including in the Middle East and its cities. Urban regions are exposed to increasingly frequent heat waves and floods that leave decision makers without immediate answers. In the context of this global crisis, this book addresses the need for a better understanding of the current model of urban expansion. Cities are major sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions but they are also celebrated for their contribution to economic growth. The current moment is one of a large paradigm shift as climate change is now recognized as a legitimate public problem. This is especially true for city dwellers, who are increasingly exposed to climate change, the loss of biodiversity and heavy pollution while natural breathing spaces continue to shrink around them. The sixteen chapters of this book do not offer any off-the-rack or technical solutions, but they analyze the urban conundrum and the contribution of cities to the climate crisis. Some chapters focus on individual car ownership, land privatization, waste management and land use changes under the guise of development. Others explore local and contextual answers to urban governance issues. With the support of CEDEJ and the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, researchers, experts and civil society actors explore the ongoing transformations of Middle Eastern urban environments and mobilities and question them in relation to the climate crisis. The contributions are based on empirical knowledge gathered in the Nile Delta, the Greater Cairo Region, Riyadh and Beirut. Without concessions to mainstream thinking, this book contributes to a better understanding of urban challenges, climate threats and policy responses in contexts marked by growing environmental inequalities.

Abstract

The topic of pinpointing Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) in the urban context has been cultivating interest lately from different scholars, urban planning practitioners and policymakers. This Special Issue originates from the Greening Cities Shaping Cities Symposium held at the Politecnico di Milano (12–13 October 2020), aiming at bridging the gap between the science and practice of implementing NBS in the built environment, as well as highlighting the importance of citizen participation in shared governance and policy making. The Special Issue received contributions from all over the world, from Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Turkey, Brazil, Portugal, Denmark, France, Bulgaria, Sweden, Hungary, Spain, the UAE, the UK, and the USA.
