Description
Summary:Do current fluvial landscape projects present a new offer in terms of public spaces ? Two complementary approaches provide a possible answer to this question : one studies the implementation of development projects (Romain, 2014), the other, adopted for this article, analyses the spoken and written discourses concerning these projects. The representations imagined by the clients and the project managers for the two sites selected (the Lez vert in Montpellier and the Têt in Perpignan) are built around three unifying themes based on the following principle : the rejection of a river environment in which the hydraulic, architectural, botanical and horticultural elements are completely controlled in favour of the preservation of indigenous plants qualified as wild because they generate uses and images erasing the urban context of the fluvial public space.
