"Greening" the Capital

Greening for a greener capital

The urban greening policy provides a long-term strategic framework for developing nature in the city, improving quality of life in the city's districts, and preparing the city to better withstand the effects of climate change.

Strategic objectives

The urban greening policy is structured around five priorities objectives:

promote sustainable water management and improve protection against flooding;

improve the urban microclimate and reduce heat island effects;

develop the urban landscape through more effective greening;

develop local green spaces that foster well-being and convivial social interaction;

improve ecological connectivity and biodiversity.

These objectives will be achieved by creating ecological corridors, planting trees, developing green spaces, restoring waterways, and greening buildings and infrastructure.

Key projects

Following an assessment of the municipality, 37 sites with strong potential for greening were identified. In the first phase, seven key projects were chosen:

redevelopment of the centre of the Bonnevoie district;

transformation of Place de France;

creation of leisure areas near the Cité jardinière (allotment garden);

greening of the facade of the Rocade administrative building;

renovation of the entrance to Grand-Rue and Rue Notre-Dame on the Boulevard Royal side;

phase 3 of the Pétrusse Valley land restoration project;

greening of Rocade de Bonnevoie.
