Green Plan - Paris

Paris is gearing up to become one of the world's greenest cities by 2030. As it stands, green spaces make up just over 9% of municipal Paris. By comparison, green spaces in London cover 33% of the city's territory. However, under mayor Anne Hidalgo's ambitious plan, Paris will see the development of 'urban forests' and new green spaces that will transform historical landmarks such as the Hotel de Ville, as seen below, as well as the Avenue Champs-Elysees. While Paris still has incredible parks such as Parc des Buttes-Chaumont and Parc Monceau, this development plan will radically enhance the city's livability and bring allow it to claim the title of one of the world's greenest major cities.
