Urban natures. A Technical and social history, 1600–2030 – Paris (France)
For over three centuries, from the first public gardens of the end of the seventeeth century (such as Paris’ Tuileries and London’s Hyde Park) to contemporary urban forests, architects, engineers, landscape designers, and their sponsors have undertaken to bring nature back into our cities. The responses they provide are fundamentally intertwined with technical, social, and political concerns.
The “Urban Natures” exhibition scrutinizes the extensive, multi-faceted history of the place of nature in cities through the lenses of urban planning, public health, food systems, as well as aesthetics.
