Rationale: Why is this case study interesting?
- The High Island project in Neuilly-sur-Marne, next to Paris, is interesting as basis of reflexion around the debate of integration of nature in urban sectors. The answers found by the technical teams are very interesting. However, we can continue to debate about the future of a natural site forgotten from the humans for a long time.
- It explains the debate unstable that interests all the people who are debating of the urban form including part of nature in the future.
