Une ville n'est pas un arbre

Jean-Luc Fromental and Jean-Louis Floch's Une ville n'est pas un arbre (1989–present, Les Humanoïdes Associés) is a single-issue comic that uses its title—borrowed from Christopher Alexander's architectural theory—to explore the organic, non-hierarchical nature of urban life. Through Floch's detailed linework and Fromental's narrative, the book examines how cities grow more like living networks than planned structures, offering a thoughtful meditation on space and community. It stands as a distinctive, standalone work from the French publisher, blending visual storytelling with architectural philosophy.
