Les aqueducs de Lyon à l’approche de la ville antique by Emmanuelle Dumas

“…The research conducted on the aqueducts of Lugdunum over the last thirty years, as urban development has continued over the Lyon metropolitan area, has helped us learn a little more about their approach route to the ancient city.The Gier aqueduct has now been found in thirteen places on the Sainte-Foy plateau, where it passed underground and above ground. …”

L’aqueduc du Gier : nouvelles données sur le pont-siphon de Beaunant à Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon (Métropole de Lyon) by David Baldassari, François Blondel, Stéphane Gaillot

“…The presence of this masonry structure suggests that in Antiquity the main channels of the river probably passed between the piers at the bottom of the eastern slope of the valley.Beyond this indication of the old route of the river, the geoarchaeological approach also provides matter for discussion on the possible causes of the collapse of the bridge, which probably involved one or more consecutive or associated factors: weaknesses in the subsoil, the influence of meteorological factors or natural disasters.The data acquired during this excavation contribute significantly to ideas about the techniques and architectural choices that governed the construction of the bridge, together with more general thinking about the dating of a hydraulic structure as important as the Gier aqueduct, which is of not insignificant impact for the analysis of the urban development of the Roman colony of Lugdunum.…”

Path and Practice of Gap Management in National Parks: A Comparison Between China and the US and Inspirations Therefrom by Yun MA, Siyuan HE

“…The research highlights key similarities and differences between the two countries in the aforesaid aspects, and proposes policy recommendations for optimizing gap management in China’s national parks.ResultsIn China, the concept of “gap” in land planning generally refers to small areas within designated zones that do not align with the intended function, such as plots scattering in ecological protection, agricultural, and urban development zones. The practice of “gap opening” allows for flexibility in land use, enabling the inclusion or exclusion of land parcels that undertake agricultural, ecological, and urban functions within certain zoning boundaries. …”

Alimentation et gestion de l’eau sur la colline de Fourvière à Lyon : les aménagements hydrauliques, la ville et ses monuments by Aldo Borlenghi, Éric Leroy

“…This situation therefore meant that, over a long period of time, other types of hydraulic works would have been used to exploit the water table, located at a great depth, or rainwater.Thanks to the new possibilities offered by tools such as the Archaeological Map of Lyon, the Topographic Atlas and the Alyas GIS of the Archaeological Service of the City of Lyon (SAVL), our survey of wells, cisterns, reservoirs as well as fountains and thermal baths aims to provide a synthesis of the different forms of water supply and distribution on the hill in order to understand the relationship between these structures and aqueducts and the urban development of the settlement. Our study shows that the absence of running water from an aqueduct did not prevent the upper districts of the hill being occupied and developed. …”
