La Part terrestre by Jennifer Buyck
La Part terrestre discusses how the crossing of planetary boundaries is destabilizing the conditions for life on Earth and forcing cities and urban spaces to confront profound ecological challenges. While urbanization has contributed to these crises, the author explores emerging ecological approaches to urban planning that seek new ways of imagining and shaping living environments. Avoiding both alarmism and excessive optimism, the book examines how ecological and political questions challenge traditional ideas of habitability, justice, and urban development. By treating the “terrestrial” as a working hypothesis rather than a fixed concept, the author invites readers to rethink the scales, balances, and practices of urban production through a slower, more reflective perspective rooted in the humanities and ecological responsibility.
