Typology >Place urbaine
Description
On définit une place comme étant un espace découvert dans les villes, généralement entouré de constructions. Devant un édifice d’importance, il peut servir de parvis, mettant ainsi en valeur ce dernier. Ces surfaces principalement minérales sont et ont toujours été des surfaces d’échanges, aussi bien financiers qu’humains. Elles permettent l’établissement ou l’extension de marchés journalier ou pérenne selon la saison.
Contexte urbain
La dispersion dans la ville de différentes places participe à l’animation humaine de par leur vocation principalement piétonne. Elles permettent l’installation de différentes activités sportives ou de loisir, donnant à ces surfaces une vie spontanée permanente.
Composante environnementale
Étant principalement couvertes d’un revêtement minéral, les places publiques sont que très peu végétalisées. Néanmoins, ces surfaces sont parsemées de différents points végétaux se traduisant par des alignements d’arbres et plates-bandes. Ces grandes masses végétales et les constructions alentour peuvent péjorer la production végétale établie sur le site.
