| Résumé anglais |
In contrast to the generally accepted idea that public spaces are associated with urban areas, this article seeks to defend the thesis that new public spaces are emerging without necessarily being defined as such. The creation of these spaces, ranging from the biosphere to by laws regulating the biotope, and including all the different types of parks and reserves, might be seen as recognition that public spaces are not just linked to built-up areas. Natural spaces, in terms of the life they support, which appear to depend more and more on human activities, also require institutions to guarantee their proper common usage. In the past, public spaces were strongly influenced by issues of urban hygiene. Now they are being replaced by much more extensive areas which might be symbolised by the countryside. Current debates on their futures only serve to gradually aclimatise us to the need to take account of living nature in the field of politics. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
