A Geography of Dispersed Urbanization. Reading the Lines of the Parcellaire
In a two-period exercise of comparison – the synchronic regional and the diachronic local comparisons -, the article aims at describing typo-morphological construction and modification of the parcellaire, defined as the system of land property division, regulating the territorialisation of our societies. Parcellaire is about lines and limits of the constitutive territory’s elements and their relations, it is about giving space for human being and organizing it as a shared asset. The parcellaire, seen as the common element of these dispersed landscape, everywhere present and complexly interweaving rural and agrarian patterns of cultivated fields with elements of the contemporary city, unfold new reading of what was once called a Banlieue Radieuse, through the construction of a lexicon of forms. The transformations, line by line, of these geographies, tell us about the fine construction of a territory of dispersed habitat and the future of the very same.
