Description
Summary:This article examines the role of the metropolitan GR2013 trail created for the Marseille-Provence European Capital of Culture in 2013 in connection with the establishment of an institutional metropolis. The hikes and artistic events programmed along the trail, which skirts the edges of the urban peripheries, showcased the metropolitan landscapes. Despite these vernacular landscapes, the forms of appropriation of which seem to resist the political landscapes of major developments, the associative dynamics of the GR2013 have brought to light other intelligibilities by relating the stories of local residents. Along the way, hybrid landscapes express vernacular and political dimensions, as defined by John Brinckerhoff. Jackson. Around the GR2013 trail, the meaning of political landscape extends to include the collective capacity to manage social, functional and ecological interdependencies. This integration occurs where vernacular and political landscapes meet in the intervening spaces captured by the urban landscape plan in the form of ecotones. It constitutes a step towards considering the political dimension of contemporary vernacular landscapes.
