The disparity of definitions seems to depend, among other things, on the spatial context in which the term is used and the profession of the actors who use it. Nevertheless, certain trends can be identified: an association of ideas between the integration of green spaces in urbanized space and the recovery of ecological functions; or an increased focus on soil functions. In this sense, the use of the term renaturation in the ZAN is also not out of place, since it refers to the sweden phone number list improvement or restoration of the ecological functions of soils. Criticisms of the definition of renaturation in the law therefore do not so much concern the qualitative description of the notion of renaturation, but rather the binary categorization of surfaces into artificial and non-artificial. While it is desirable for this law to survive future governments, it would be relevant to anchor qualitative evaluation criteria in it to determine the renatured surfaces.
THE LAND TRANSITION CHAIR
Initiated by a partnership between the Gustave Eiffel University Foundation and the Land Transition Institute, the Land Transition Chair is scientifically supported within the Gustave Eiffel University, through two of its component schools, the École nationale supérieure d'architecture Paris-Est ( ENSA Paris-Est) and the École des ingénieurs de la Ville de Paris (EIVP). Supported by the Institute for Research of the Caisse des Dépôts, the Land Transition Chair aims to be a place for meeting and sharing research on the land issue, focused on sustainable land management, from quantitative land management to the qualitative preservation of living soils.
