This book brings together the materials of a study carried out by the Florence Faculty of Architecture in liaison with the Tuscan scientific community (five universities, research institutes and technicians from the Regional Authority) to define the methods and approaches of the new Landscape Plan. The aim was to exploit the opportunities offered by recent legislation, such as the European Landscape Convention and the Cultural Heritage and Landscape Code, in order to formulate public policies and projects designed to enhance the quality of life throughout the entire territory, both valuable and degraded. Different skills, aptitudes and passions have come together in the hope that the recent phase of planning can trigger mechanisms that stimulate the inhabitants of Tuscany to continue to produce the collective work of art that is their landscape, in the exquisitely normal manner and form that left scholars such Desplanques pleasantly perplexed when he wrote: «These people have constructed their rural landscapes as if they had no concern other than beauty.

City and territory are currently experiencing a phase of development, or crisis, depending on whether they manage to form the know-how to respond to the current exponential evolution. Know-how that has to make a critical assessment of the fabric of structures, cultures and inherited layouts. Between continuity and innovation, contemporary town planning culture creates the basis for a more flexible model that can seek out new continuities by interpreting the present discontinuity, dissent, difference, decentralization and dispersion. This implies a processual space and new aesthetics of sense and therefore presupposes new themes able to redefine the physical-relational relationships by combining cultural roots, functional requirements and spatial layouts.

Mahdia, ville millénaire tunisienne à l'âme marine, s'interroge sur le devenir de sa pierre. Son développement urbain côtoie aujourd'hui un nouvel horizon : la ligne de crête d'un ancien cordon littoral où se situent ses carrières. Exploitées, appropriées comme jardin nourricier et également délaissées, celles-ci s'intègrent au devenir de la ville. À peine visible de l'espace urbain, ces carrières ne sont pas des lieux communs. Elles font partie de son histoire. Le défi actuel est qu'elles contribuent aux desseins de cette ville, à son renouveau. Fruit d'une expérience internationale originale qui réunit étudiants, professeurs et experts en architecture de paysage, en architecture, en urbanisme et en études touristiques, ce livre raconte le travail d'expérimentation sur la réhabilitation paysagère des carrières de Mahdia. Misant sur l'apport créatif d'un arrimage culturel entre le Maghreb, le Moyen-Orient, l'Europe et l'Amérique du Nord, le workshop ravive les natures bien singulières des carrières et de leurs contextes. Et surtout, il expose un ensemble d'intentions en vue de leur mise en valeur et de leur développement. Véritable legs pour les citoyens de cette ville méditerranéenne, l'invention paysagère des carrières de Mahdia livre des solutions d'aménagement inédites en quête d'un lendemain.
