Sustainable City & EcoQuartiers
The EcoQuartier approach aims to foster the emergence of a new way of designing, building and managing the city sustainably.
It concerns all types of projects: new or urban renewal, renovation of sensitive neighbourhoods, operations in large agglomerations or in peri-urban and rural contexts, in metropolitan France as well as overseas.
An EcoQuartier is a multifaceted development project that integrates all the issues and principles of the city and sustainable territories:
- Steering and participation: EcoQuartiers are collective projects. Because they must meet the needs of all, their governance mobilizes all the actors of the city, from the citizen to the elected, and must propose the tools of consultation and monitoring to guarantee the quality of the project in the long term and in use;
- the contribution to the improvement of daily life, through the establishment of a healthy and safe living environment for all inhabitants and users of the public or private space, and which promotes the social bond;
- participation in the economic and territorial dynamism, thanks to the functional and social diversity and an adapted mobility offer conducive to the development of alternatives to the individual car;
- the promotion of responsible resource management and adaptation to climate change, integrating concerns related to the place of nature in cities.
An EcoQuartier aims to bring out among its inhabitants ways of life based on the consideration of local resources.
A label to guarantee the quality of EcoQuartiers
In order to promote these principles, the State launched in 2008, the EcoQuartier approach, concretized in December 2012, with the creation of the national EcoQuartier label. The EcoQuartier label is based on 20 commitments gathered in the EcoQuartiers Charter. These 20 commitments can apply to any sustainable development operation, regardless of its size and geographical and territorial context.
