Go Green – Go Paris

The chic city of Paris in France is aiming to improve its green credentials with ten top planning firms submitting ideas on how Paris will look in 2030.

The designs for Paris were submitted to the French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, who aims to steer the city to becoming the most environmentally sustainable city in the world. The ideas submitted will form part of a new exhibition, “Le Grand Paris” which has just opened at the City of Architecture and Heritage Museum.

In the coming years Paris could be sporting an abundance of greenhouses and rooftop gardens and could be powered by wind and solar energy.
