To provide its residents with high-quality natural spaces, the municipality of Ris-Orangis (Essonne) is implementing several projects, ranging from the “Net Zero Land Take” pilot program to community gardens made available to residents for pesticide-free vegetable gardening. This working-class town in the greater Paris suburbs has one major asset: a large area of industrial and agricultural brownfields. However, the pressure to build housing is intense. The path to creating a city of tomorrow connected to nature is narrow.
