La beauté d'une ville

“What makes a city beautiful?
Its site, its buildings, its gardens, its materials, its rivers? Its inhabitants, its environments, its hospitality, its fragility, its measure? How is urban aesthetics defined, according to the projects and constraints of each century? What forms must the city invent to make its climate transition?
Architects, writers, philosophers, historians, landscape architects, artists, ecologists, sociologists, urban planners… Based on emerging Parisian issues, 56 authors explore our heritage and sketch the future of our urban territories.
With one foot in history and the other on the path of ecology, this collective work, conceived as a walk, invites us to look at the beauty of Paris with different eyes.”
