Abstract

Through bioregions, we need to imagine landscapes of moderation and care in order to reincarnate ecological limits in territories through landscape ecology. This is how we projected a bioregional vision onto the Île-de-France region, through a reflection on its medium-term subsistence. In this case study, the eight bioregions of the Île-de-France region that we designed made it possible to reestablish shorter agricultural circuits and gradually reorganize the current monocultures of plantations into a variety of hedgerows and a nourishing mosaic, attracting new jobs that cannot be relocated.
