To reach the standard of the World Health Organization (WHO) of 10m2 of green spaces per inhabitant, the municipality will "go and find 300 hectares of green spaces in creation or opening", that is to say say already existing but not yet accessible to the public, said the assistant to the revegetation Christophe Najdovski Wednesday evening during a presentation at the Town Hall.
And in this total, the town hall wants to create "55 hectares of new parks in the diffuse (the existing building) and the new development zones", explained the assistant for urban planning Emmanuel Grégoire Thursday during a press point on a newly planted square in the XNUMXth arrondissement.
The left-wing executive plans in particular to create "a large park of more than 25 hectares" between the gates of La Villette and La Chapelle, in the north-east of Paris.
Emmanuel Grégoire also counts in this total "70 hectares of public spaces" and "40 hectares of private plots", such as the car parks of residences, which will be "debitumed" and vegetated.
It also includes, while part is already accessible to the public, "90 hectares of protected green spaces (EVP)" which will be "definitively protected from destruction", while the current PLU "allowed to build on an EVP" .
For the first deputy, "the objective is to open all this within ten years".
The future Parisian PLU, which must be adopted for the first time on June 5 by the Council of Paris, for final adoption between 2024 and 2025, also provides for a rule of gradual ground compensation for any real estate project greater than 150m2.
The two deputies also took stock of Anne Hidalgo's promise to plant 170.000 trees by 2026, a quantitative objective castigated by her opponents.
With more than 25.000 trees planted last winter, "never since Haussmann (in the 63.500th century, editor's note) have so many been planted in Paris," said Mr. Najdovski. With XNUMX trees planted mid-term, "more than a third of this objective will have been achieved", underlines the town hall.
Among the trees planted in the past six months, 800 have been in the streets of Paris, the vast majority being integrated into the embankments of the ring road (11.500) or the Bois de Vincennes and Boulogne (7.300).
