Release of the book "101 Words of Adaptation, for Everyone's Use"

In the face of climate change, demographic pressure, resource scarcity and growing social expectations, adapting our cities and territories to future conditions has become a central challenge.

It is with this ambition that we initiated 101 Words of Adaptation, for Everyone. A book that explores the adaptation of cities and territories from A to Z, written by those who practice it on a daily basis.

One hundred and one words that open doors, shift perspectives and tell another way of inhabiting the world.

And then there is the OFF. Because the momentum went beyond the original framework… Texts that arrived too late, others written by contributors who could not bring themselves to choose just one word, or who simply felt the need to go further. We chose not to leave these texts aside.

The OFF takes the form of a booklet slipped inside the book. A discreet but essential extension. Other voices, other practices, the same desire to act and to think the transformation of our territories with precision and imagination.

Our warmest thanks go to the partners who made this project possible: Agence Nationale de l’Habitat – ANAH (Valérie Mancret-Taylor), CDC Habitat (Aude Debreil), Groupama (Roland Cubin), Linkcity (Laurent Mourey), Paris La Défense (Pierre-Yves Guice and Céline Crestin), Nos Villes à 50°C (NV50) (Christophe Rodriguez), Oppidea Europolia (Romain Champy), Club Ville Aménagement (Florent Sainte Fare Garnot) and Cerema (Hélène Peskine).

A thousand thanks as well to the 101 contributors for the strength and richness of their perspectives, and to Archibooks for their editorial support.

A book produced under the direction of Atelier Franck Boutté, initiated by Franck Boutté, with editorial coordination by Camille Chalot, Elise Lenoble and Alix Derouin 💚

Available in all good bookshops… And also here, and here, and here — and over there too.
