Résumé (en anglais)

This paper is deals with the threats to the urban parks laid out in the 19th century - and with the ways of saving them. Many of these parks are still popular with the public, but the quality of their design and maintenance has declined over the years. The efforts to save their original characteristics have come very late. Yet, these parks are an important part of the 19th century town planning, and saving their genius loci would be very important to the fabric of the respective cities. It would also contribute to the cause of the historic gardens and sites in general.
