Beauregards urban development project

The purpose of this urban feasibility study is to analyse the Beauregards area in terms of potential for boosting the economic and urban development of the region by setting up sports fields, parks, shopping and leisure areas as well as housing units, within a highly integrative concept. The project is articulated around a rich agricultural development plan and the pursuit of controlled urban density.

The “Pierrelaye Forest National Interest Project” provides for planting 1 million trees and is the largest forest management project in France since Colbert. Accordingly, the development of this region must support this drive by preserving the vast ecological continuities and revive the region’s agricultural fabric and rural paths. In order to meet these ambitious plans in a sustainable manner, the project proposes a forward-looking approach in the form of balanced and diversified agricultural scenarios: urban orchards, vegetable-growing parks, mini vegetable gardens and vegetated high rises, capable of exceeding the future needs of the neighbourhood. The strategicdiversity and the integration of structuring agricultural elements will define a new and innovative urban model as the first “Affordable Organic Food” neighbourhood.
