"Our strategy is to maximize the development of biotopes in order to make productive and residential uses coexist. The key tools for a lively, acclimatized neighborhood are to amplify the impact of both rivers and of the natural components on site, while making the best use of existing facilities and roads. Climate issues and flood risks are managed by working the soil within living spaces."
