A cette vision, j’ai voulu opposer celle exprimée par Henri Laborit dans “L’homme et la ville” (1971) qui envisage la ville comme une structure engendrée par les organismes (au sens biologique) sociaux et leur permettant d’assurer leur pérennité. Nouvelle opposition des écoles holistes et réductionnistes…?

His starting point is that humanity is constituted of hierarchical layers from the molecular up to the humanity level. Any layer reveals some structures formed of elements of the underlying one (cellules formed of molecules for example), and these structures interact in order to maintain themselves. At some intermediate levels, individuals are member of some groups of interest (social structures) which have shaped and continue to shape the city in order to survive. In this respect inhabitants would not be actuators "improving the efficiency of urban systems" but agents interacting with the city in order to insure the survival of their social groups. This might result in non-efficient behavior, would "efficiency" have a meaning in this context...
