If salvation lies in a denser city, it can only be livable if it is sustainable. No longer opposed to the countryside, the city, having become a territory, must share space with all forms of life. It is in this capacity that the landscaper has a voice in urban planning.
Michel Pena, landscape designer of the Jardin Atlantique in Paris and the Promenade du Paillon in Nice, invented the concept of the landscape city. For him, "Posing landscape as a prerequisite to urban planning means becoming aware of the value of the nature of what exists, and no longer thinking of "creation" but of transformation, inflection, evolution." Here, he unfolds the reasons for changing the way cities are built through landscape thinking, through a sensitive walk through megacities. He demonstrates that the transformation of the urban fabric modifies lifestyles and introduces greater well-being.
