Perceptions and Implementations of Urban Green Infrastructures in France.Three Cases of Studies (Paris, Marseille, Strasbourg)
Abstract
The French national program"TrameVerteUrbaine" (50 researchers, 11 teams research both in social sciences and in ecology) has built an assessment of urban green infrastructures and propose to develop a referential in order to guide the implementation of green infrastructure politics at local scale. The interest of urban green continuities in their capacity to provide ecosystemic services is considered in order to work out some referential frames that can be used by the planners and the municipalities:greenways are considered as an infrastructure between aesthetic and ecology for a new urbanity. Three French cities with very different urban culture and environmental context were studied, among other case studies: Paris (north of France), Marseil e (south of France) and Strasbourg (east of France).
