Abstract
Abstract This article aims to examine the effects of large-scale planning projects. It focuses on the little-known Métropole jardin project, which was developed in the western centre of France in the late 1960s and 1970s. This was a period in regional planning history that welcomed landscape architecture, in which new actors entered the scene and new methods and tools were created to involve communities in the development of landscapes. The project is methodologically analysed on the basis of field visits to examine its achievements and the influence it may have had on the development of the territory as it appears today. The contrasting results are indicative of the particularities of French-style spatial planning, characterized by the gap that exists today between the effectiveness of major territorial guidelines and the fragmentation of real productions, which requires the analysis to be interpreted in various ways.
期刊介绍:
JoLA is the academic Journal of the European Council of Landscape Architecture Schools (ECLAS), established in 2006. It is published three times a year. JoLA aims to support, stimulate, and extend scholarly debate in Landscape Architecture and related fields. It also gives space to the reflective practitioner and to design research. The journal welcomes articles addressing any aspect of Landscape Architecture, to cultivate the diverse identity of the discipline. JoLA is internationally oriented and seeks to both draw in and contribute to global perspectives through its four key sections: the ‘Articles’ section features both academic scholarship and research related to professional practice; the ‘Under the Sky’ section fosters research based on critical analysis and interpretation of built projects; the ‘Thinking Eye’ section presents research based on thoughtful experimentation in visual methodologies and media; the ‘Review’ section presents critical reflection on recent literature, conferences and/or exhibitions relevant to Landscape Architecture.
