Green Paris in 2030


Last year French President Nicholas Sarkozy called upon ten of Paris' top planning companies to imagine the city in 2030. His plans are to make Paris the most green and environmentally sustainable city in the world.

Urban planning & Architecture firm Castro Denisof Casi has selected a southeastern suburb of Paris with concept images of high-rises lush with greenhouses and rooftop gardens. The buildings would be powered in part by wind and solar energy and connected to the city center by elevated rapid transit.

There is currently an exhibition of the groups ideas and sketches entitled "Le Grand Paris" at the City of Architecture and Heritage (Citi de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine) museum.
