Towards a new European North West coastal management: a comparative approach of the way Dutch, English and French civil engineers manage the coast ; Vers une gestion renouvelée du littoral nord-ouest européen : des ingénieurs néerlandais, anglais et françaisde plus en plus « verts » ?

Whether Dutch, English or French, civil engineers have long been a recognized authority on coastal management.Through their relentless search for technical innovations, engineers have been instrumental in both shaping thecoast – in the case of the Netherlands creating it almost entirely – and imposing on it a technical vision. The socialand ecological movement which characterized the 1970’s brought this engineering vision into question. Thischange in outlook would create real turmoil for the profession. This comparative study attempts to explain hownowadays engineers envision the coast they ma... Mehr ...

Whether Dutch, English or French, civil engineers have long been a recognized authority on coastal management.Through their relentless search for technical innovations, engineers have been instrumental in both shaping thecoast – in the case of the Netherlands creating it almost entirely – and imposing on it a technical vision. The socialand ecological movement which characterized the 1970’s brought this engineering vision into question. Thischange in outlook would create real turmoil for the profession. This comparative study attempts to explain hownowadays engineers envision the coast they manage and how, in collaboration with other scientists, they nowderive innovative solutions in line with an integrated coastal management. It appears that the classical opposition,between a vision long imputed to engineers of a static and linear coast and one attributed to other scientists whoview the coast as something larger and more systemic, has become blurred. Cultural differences between the threecountries are more relevant to explain the differences observed. Into the bargain engineers seem to have overtakenthe « green » movement of the last decades to seize new opportunities, professional ones as well as territorial. ; Qu’ils soient néerlandais, anglais ou français, les ingénieurs du génie civil ont toujours fait autorité en matièred’aménagement du littoral. À travers la recherche constante d’innovations techniques, ils ont contribué à modelerle littoral - voire à le créer de toute pièce aux Pays-Bas - et imposé une vision techniciste de ce territoire entre terreet mer. Le tournant écologique et social qui a caractérisé les années 1970 a remis en question cette vision imposéepar les ingénieurs, créant un véritable bouleversement pour la profession. Cette étude comparée tente d’expliquercomment les ingénieurs se représentent aujourd’hui le littoral qu’ils aménagent, et comment, en concertation avecd’autres scientifiques, ils élaborent désormais des solutions innovantes en adéquation avec une gestion intégrée ...
