Starting from this assumption of an urban cross-section as a basis for representing and expressing what are usually separate, i.e., built objects, the sensorial world and social practices, we have conducted exploratory research tailored to environmental concerns based on two themes for which we can readily mobilize both researchers and a decent body of research, namely urban heat (City of Grenoble) and solid waste (City of São Paulo).We have dealt with two categories of questions based on existing research and a series of experiments:• Those relating to the different registers of knowledge inherent in ambiance and the environment as understood by technicians, elected representatives, scientists and ...
