  RIVIERE – Re-naturing the city, a risk or a factor for social well-being in the eyes of residents and users? Contribution of landscape mediation (2013)

  Summary: The re-naturation of cities represents a major preoccupation to the extent that it responds to ecological (biodiversity) and social (well-being) issues. Therefore, aquatic environments (rivers, reservoirs) located within or in contact with cities are the object of increasing appreciation. Nonetheless, this process creates some risks for societies (health risk, flood risk, drowning risk) and […]

  IOUQMER – Impact of urban organisations on the microbiological quality of surface runoff and the spread of the pathogenic species Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (2016)

  Summary: Urban conurbations accumulate and concentrate a number of pollutants. Paradoxically, although urbanisation appears increasingly as a formation of ecosystems having global impacts, urban ecology attracts little attention, particularly as concerns health and hygiene issues including microbiological contamination in cities, apart from in hospitals. Research has recently commenced in this area. The prevalence of certain […]

The challenge for Lyon Métropole […]
