Paris (France): An accessible and sustainable concrete plant on the Seine River

Implementing eco-friendly design principles and promoting public engagement are key strategies for transforming outdated industrial sites into assets for the environment and the community. Using green building standards and prioritising measures to minimise environmental impact, industrial facilities can enhance operational efficiency while mitigating potential negative effects on the surrounding ecosystem. Additionally, integrating public spaces and access points to the waterfronts improves the appeal of industrial areas and promotes a sense of community. In Paris, an old industrial port shows how design choices can enhance the integration of industrial infrastructure and urban context.

This good practice also includes objective 6.1 (Developing all types of promenades and other open spaces in Port City interface zones to promote a better understanding of port and logistic activities) of the AIVP’s 2030 Agenda.
