Il faut sans doute, pour cela, consentir à suspendre la primauté de l'une, la "récessivité" de l'autre.

Des friches urbaines aux quartiers durables
L'observation des territoires urbains contemporains fait apparaître un paradoxe singulier. Si les politiques publiques s'efforcent de freiner la consommation de sol et les pressions sur le paysage par la promotion de stratégies pour juguler l'étalement urbain, un stock considérable de terrains situés au coeur des villes et des agglomérations n'en demeure pas moins à l'abandon.
