Paris, the city of revolutions, of the Impressionists, the World’s Fairs and the Olympics, of Haussmann’s boulevards, of the Bois de Boulogne, the metro, and the Seine. Paris, also the densely built-up city with so little greenery per inhabitant. Heat stress is a problem there like nowhere else.
Under the influence of mayor Hidalgo, a green revolution is under way that is as rapid as it is exhilarating: roundabouts are turning into urban forests, the Périphérique is becoming a parkway, and traffic is disappearing in favour of pedestrians in hundreds of streets. Dense strips of planting are changing the city’s appearance and even the areas around Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, and the Champs Élysées are undergoing a green metamorphosis. The Seine is again becoming the lifeline it once was.
This issue captures the changes wrought by fifty projects
and provides portraits of the designers and ecologists who are contributing to this operation – all with love for the city.
From Paris with love.

LEGATURA EDITORIALE. Etat : NUOVO. The urban landscape of Paris is characterised by its high density of buildings and lack of greenery, which brings heat stress during the summer months. But an exhilarating green revolution is already underway. Roundabouts are turning into urban forests, the Périphérique is becoming a parkway, and traffic is disappearing in favour of pedestrians on hundreds of streets. Dense strips of planting are changing the city's appearance, and even areas surrounding the city's most famous landmarks are undergoing a green metamorphosis. This book captures the changes through 50 projects, providing portraits of the designers and ecologists who are contributing to these sweeping changes. N° de réf. du vendeur 9789492474780
