Clichy-Batignolles- a zero carbon – emission neighbourhood.

Clichy-Batignolles, a pioneering zero-carbon emissions neighborhood, was designed by french Urban Planner François Grether,  in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, transforming a former railway site into a eco-district. Spanning 54 hectares, this ambitious development blends offices, a mix of private, mid-range, and social housing, retail spaces, as well as cultural and recreational amenities. At the heart of this eco-conscious district lies a 10-hectare park, designed by Landscape Architect Jacqueline Osty, creating a vibrant green oasis that fosters both environmental sustainability and physical activity.

The tour proposes  an Introduction to the history and context of the eco-district at the entrance of the site, followed by a visit to Martin Luther King Park and the East District. Then we will follow with a presentation of the program and ecological aspects on the platform in the middle of the park (transportation, ecology and energy, biodiversity, geothermal energy and water management, air quality, perspectives) on the way to the western district with Rostropovitch Street.

The completion of key projects such as the Paris Courthouse designed by renowned architect Renzo Piano and the extension of Metro Line 14, not only reinforce Clichy-Batignolles' metropolitan role but also elevate its appeal as a model of sustainable parisian urban living.
