Carrières-sous-Poissy / Yvelines
Surface / 200 ha
Study / 2010
This urban and landscape project on the scale of the Chanteloup-les-Vignes loop aims to develop a new urban centre with a coherent evolution of landscape infrastructure scenarios.
The economic function of the park will be biomass production, which will guide the urban development of the territory. On the scale of Carrières-sous-Poissy, we propose to establish landscaped ‘antechambers,’ which help reconnect the city with the local river. By promoting inter-district connections through green cross-sections, the design develops a landscape leisure program focused on the Seine and its ecology. This includes:
- wetland recreation
- 2 hectare ecological swimming pool
- quayside
- mesophilic plains and meadows
- expanded flood zone
- urban beaches
- inclusion in the policy of green and blue corridors
- insertion of the A104
- creation of major ecological zones
We are also proposing to create a large alluvial park (120ha) on the banks of the Seine, including gravel pits and several activities:
- creation of fertile pockets of land
- extension of existing parks
- alluvial afforestation
- interaction with new neighbourhoods
- proposal of “alluvial” habitats
- creation of a counter channel
- development of a 9 km alluvial promenade.
