Synopsis

For some megacities, becoming greener overnight is not easy. With its two million urban dwellers and only 5 m2 of green space per inhabitant, Paris is one of the densest cities in the world!

Opening new paths to biodiversity is one of the main challenges for the city of Paris. It is a green movement in small steps, a living, warm and responsible impetus instilled by inhabitants but also builders, thinkers, scientists.

Traumatized by the heat wave of 2003, Paris has embarked on an all-out greening. 80 hectares of roofs could be vegetated! A few years ago, the launch of the Greater Paris project gave rise to a proliferation of green ideas and today constitutes a veritable laboratory.
