The definition of the Eco-port project evolves as the final engineering design progresses. The latter will make it possible to specify, in detail, how the dock should be redeveloped to accommodate more barges in a totally rehabilitated setting.

Bird’s-eye view of the Parc du Peuple de l’herbe
The park’s preview developments are nearing completion. The concept of a “preview development” is designed to give visitors an idea of what the park will be like when it is finished. This section already illustrates the theme of insect life and the park’s ecological and recreational/educational character.
SeineCityPark: the top French project for the 2011 European Life+ programme
The SeineCityPark project – a joint effort by the Communauté d’agglomération 2 Rives de Seine and the Conseil général des Yvelines in liaison with the town of Carrières – was selected as one of the award-winners in the LIFE+ 2011 call for proposals. In the European Commission’s ranking, the SeineCityPark project tied for first place with the Conseil général de la Gironde in France. The Life+ programme co-finances innovative pro-environmental projects, bringing them not only funding but also European-wide recognition.
