Each year, in the Paris region, nearly 10 million m3 of inert land, the equivalent of 4 pyramids of Cheops, are involved in public and private works. A quantity which constitutes a barometer of the action of the metropolis.
The symposium "the land in all its states" proposes to reveal the thousand and one ways to value these inert lands. The virtuous opportunity to make this production visible in an approach of circular economy and ecological compensation is at the heart of approaches often ignored. The land is a great resource! A wide variety of solutions will be explored, ranging from the resorption of polluted areas to the creation of planted parks, areas returned to agriculture, transformation of the earth into building materials, topsoil, the creation of artistic works or urban engineering works.
Patricia Pelloux, assistant director of Apur, will take part in the round table "the land as thought of the territory".
