Although urbanization is one of the main threats to global biodiversity, paradoxically it can also play a fundamental role in its conservation. It is surprising, in fact: biodiversity sometimes flourishes more in urban areas than in the countryside, the fault of the disappearance of numerous natural environments and of agriculture which is a big fan of phytosanitary products. In addition, various surveys carried out since the 2010s show that more than 9 out of 10 French people express the need for daily contact with plants. Natural spaces in the city are, in fact, popular with certain communities in current developments. Large-scale projects, such as the 1 million trees Plan currently supported by the Department of Reunion, are also emerging to better integrate local biodiversity in cities. Thus, the planning, management and nature of urban green spaces can help maintain and promote the presence of many native plant and animal species by providing a wide diversity of habitats and food resources. But how can we consider nature in the city? What roles can plants have in these artificial environments? Beyond being sustainable, shouldn't the cities of tomorrow be “living”?
The objective of this course is to make students aware of the presence of nature, and more especially plants, in sustainable urban space and to define the functional aspects of plants in this anthropized environment.
