Project presentation
As part of the redevelopment of the 13/18 housing estate in Sallaumines, supported by Maisons & Cités and the town of Sallaumines, ECT is assisting the partners in the transitional management of deconstructed rights-of-way. These plots are currently unused and colonized by low-quality spontaneous vegetation (nettles, thistles, sagebrush). This temporary arrangement secures and enhances the value of the land before it is rebuilt, improving the living environment for local residents while promoting biodiversity.

Project life
An improved living environment thanks to the creation of an open garden
These deconstructed plots are currently unused. To make them safer and improve the living environment for local residents, a greening program is being implemented. It includes :
- A slight bump in the ground, from 50 cm to 1 metre high, inside the blocks.
- Spaces for relaxation and occasional entertainment.
- Revegetation by sowing meadows.
- Preservation of existing roadways serving renaturalized areas.
- Creation of perimeter bunds to secure plots
