When a Promising Urban Activity Rhymes with Biodiversity

When a Promising Urban Activity Rhymes with Biodiversity

At the crossroads of biodiversity, social integration and scientific research, Lil’Ô is a project supported by the sustainable city specialists at Paris&Co.

This ambitious experiment on a former landfill site in Île-Saint-Denis is a future growth sector involving the reclaiming of land through nature. The programme includes a flower farm, an urban forest ecosystem, a composting platform and, soon, a giant fertile substrate manufacturing plant. This alchemist’s dream transforms heavy metals in the ground into fertile soil, grows flowers locally and creates new sustainable jobs for the local community.
