Last week I happened upon an exhibition: La Ville Fertile: vers une nature urbaine (The Fertile City: Greening Urban Environments), which shared much with a TIBG paper on “Geographies of environmental restoration” (Smith, 2012). The exhibition presented a number of urban planning initiatives that have sought to create a semiotic relationship between the man-made city and nature, showing how landscape architects have attempted to restore nature (through images of forest, prairie, wasteland and riverbank) back in the urban landscape.
