Two years ago, the City of Paris began planting the Saint-Louis esplanade, opposite the Château de Vincennes. ECT was called in to produce a fertile substrate on-site to support the new cultivation. ECT’s fertile substrate consists of inert soil from construction sites and green waste compost. It combines the recycling of locally sourced data with the refusal to import distant topsoil, in a circular economy approach to construction land.
The green transformation of the former car park now offers a new green space in the city. The former car park has been transformed into a meadow, an environment favourable to biodiversity and a space ready to welcome the public during open-air events
