Abstract
In this article, I explore how urban landscape and nature are conceived and constructed within the context of community gardens in the Goutte d'Or neighborhood of Paris, drawing on key concepts that help us understand them, such as wild, laissez-faire nature, and biodiversity. I examine how different perspectives on the relationship between humans and nature shape the definition of these spaces. Ideas such as the rights of non-human living beings influence decisions that lead to more minimal interventions in the environment. However, the need for these gardens to also serve as spaces for human use contrasts with this objective. How can a garden be designed to provide a rightful place for non-human living beings while remaining open to the public? Another goal that comes into tension with this notion is the effort to increase biodiversity in cities, which requires intervention in these environments to enhance the viability of different species. The strategy of dividing gardens into separate areas with distinct purposes appears to be a way of reconciling these objectives. I also discuss the aesthetic importance of garden elements. The idea of wild traits—an aesthetic that evokes a sense of wildness—is also highly significant in shaping this landscape. Examining how these concepts are applied and rebuild in the creation of community gardens helps us better understand the formation and construction of these visible and important urban green spaces.
