The urban development challenge in Tremblay-en-France also involves preserving and developing nature within the city. Increasing green spaces, promoting biodiversity, and enabling rainwater infiltration are key issues that must be integrated into every project. The creation of the Suzanne-Buisson kindergarten canteen and the demolition-reconstruction of the facility are concrete illustrations of this.
During the demolition of the Dossisard hall at Bois-Saint-Denis, eleven trees were preserved for the future development, including a centenary cypress, which is part of the landscape and history. Its preservation highlights the importance given to respecting nature.
While tree felling is sometimes necessary, for instance, when a tree is too diseased, this decision is accompanied by a commitment to compensation. For this project, eight new trees will be planted: five field maples and three swamp white oaks. The aim is to plant today so that nature can fully reclaim its place in the years and decades to come. The wood from the felled trees will also be reused within the project to create outdoor furniture, giving it a second life.
The environmental dimension of the project extends to the creation of an oasis courtyard with a landscape bioswale, plantings of perennials and grasses, reed beds, and an educational vegetable garden for children. Constructing new facilities meets the needs of residents while simultaneously reinforcing the presence of nature in our neighborhoods.
