This publication represents a quest for biodiversity in the city. Declining biodiversity in the countryside has been in the spotlight for years. Healthy soil life is of vital importance. Biodiversity in the city appears to be hidden. How do you design a public space that is anchored in healthy soil? There is a world full of life beneath our feet. Hidden in the soil, up to 100 million species of micro-organisms work together with fungi and plant roots to form networks that ensure a healthy living environment. Without soil, we cannot survive. Yet we treat our living environment inattentively. The growing world population is moving to cities, annexing surrounding areas and literally squeezing the life out of the soil. The urban climate, urbanized environment and urban water balance are detrimental to healthy soil life. The (urban) soil is largely sealed off and this results in extreme flooding, heat and drought exhaustion, soil compaction and habitat fragmentation. The design of the city includes many underground measures. Every change leads to soil exhaustion. This has to change. BiodiverCITY formulates measures and resulting details that will result in healthy soil life. Part of the programming of the Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism 2021 and Architecture Biennale Venice 2021

This edited volume centers around the concept of BioCities, which aim to unify nature and urban spaces in order to reverse the effects of global climate change and inequity. Following this principle, the authors propose multiple approaches for sustainable city growth. The discussed concepts are not only relevant for newly constructed cities, but offer transformative perspectives for existing settlements as well. Placing nature at the forefront of city planning is not an entirely new concept, so the authors build on established ideas like the garden city, green city, eco-city, or smart city. All chapters aim to highlight aspects to develop a city that is a resilient nature-based socio-ecological system. Many of these concepts were formed in an effort to copy the best traits of a forest ecosystem: a home for many different species that build complex communities. Much like many of our forests, urban areas are managed by humans for multifunctional purposes, using living and abiotic components. This viewpoint helps to understand the potential and limitations of sustainable growth. With these chapters, the authors want to inspire planners, ecologists, urban foresters and decision makers of the future.

This book argues that the sustainable management of resources requires a systematic approach that primarily involves the integration of green innovative biotechnological strategies and eco-engineering. It discusses how microbial community intelligence can be used for waste management and bio-remediation and explains how biological processes can be optimized by integrating genomics tools to provide perspectives on sustainable development. The book describes the application of modern molecular techniques such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), highly sensitive catalyzed reporter deposition (CARD)-FISH, in situ DNA-hybridization chain reaction (HCR) and methods for detecting mRNA and/or functional genes to optimize bioprocessess. These techniques, supplemented with metagenomic analysis, reveal that a large proportion of micro-organisms still remain to be identified and also that they play a vital role in establishing bioprocesses.

Depuis 70 ans, la forme urbaine a suivi la finance. Et si elle a gagné en fonctionnalité, la ville a peut-être perdu en humanité. Durant le siècle passé, elle n'a pas toujours favorisé la mixité, la convivialité, la mobilité, les changements de vie, le partage ou le vivre-ensemble. Le secteur immobilier a fini par bâtir des produits immobiles, incapables de s'adapter aux évolutions d'usage, aux urgences climatiques, sanitaires, économiques ou sociales. Le bâti s'est standardisé en faisant du béton sa base, son facteur d'efficacité, garant d'une rentabilité financière à court-terme assurée pour ses investisseurs et promoteurs. Finalement nos villes et périphéries se sont imperméabilisées et n'absorbent plus ni les pluies diluviennes, ni les chocs sociétaux. En 2024, le statu quo n'a plus sa place. Appeler à une transition du secteur immobilier n'est même plus suffisant. Il faut intégralement le transformer, à commencer par les instruments financiers qui contribuent à lui donner corps. C'est la raison pour laquelle ce livre a interpellé plus de 50 acteurs du secteur sur leurs utopies pour la ville, l'immobilier et les façons d'habiter en 2050. De manière contre-intuitive peut-être, l'utopie souhaitable qui se dessine dans ces pages ne met pas la nouveauté, la technologie ou la fameuse smart city à l'honneur. La ville du futur ressemblera de bien des manières à celle d'aujourd'hui. Car le changement viendra de l'intérieur. Du réemploi de l'existant pour en faire des espaces plus agiles, mieux partagés, plus résistants, mieux isolés, et moins gourmands, plus abordables et adaptables et bien mieux connectés à la nature. Le changement viendra d'une finance réinventée au service d'actifs urbains fructueux, en harmonie avec le Vivant.

On a rainy day in May 2007, the mayor of Paris inaugurated the Jardins d’Éole, a park whose completion was hailed internationally as an exemplar of sustainable urbanism. The park was the result of a hard-fought, decadelong protest movement in a low-income Maghrebi and African immigrant district starved for infrastructure, but the Mayor’s vision of urban sustainability was met with jeers. Drawing extensively from immersive, firsthand ethnographic research with northeast Paris residents, as well as an analysis of green architecture and urban design, Andrew Newman argues that environmental politics must be separated from the construct of urban sustainability, which has been appropriated by forces of redevelopment and gentrification in Paris and beyond. France’s turbulent political environment also provides Newman with powerful new insights into the ways in which multiethnic coalitions can emerge⎯even amid overt racism and Islamophobia⎯in the struggle for more just cities and more inclusive societies. A tale of multidimensional political efforts, Landscape of Discontent cuts through the rhetoric of green cities to reveal the promise that environmentalism holds for urban communities anywhere.
