Mille Arbres – winner in category best futura project
The City of Paris selected the Mille Arbres project as part of their call for innovative urban projects "Réinventer Paris" (Reinventing Paris). The project is the largest inhabited bridge in the world, covering the ring road and connects Paris’ suburb Neuilly to the heart of the city. The project stands out for its ‘forest’ roof, with more than a thousand trees and wooden houses. In charge of the engineering, Arcadis is proud to have participated in the realization of this ambitious and innovative project.
"With our different partners, such as Oxo architects and Sou Fujimoto for the architecture as well as the Compagnie de Phalsbourg and Ogic for the development, we are honored that this emblematic project of the City of Paris is recognized by our peers", comments Nicolas Ledoux, CEO of Arcadis France. "With Mille Arbres, we contribute to a more carbon-neutral approach to urbanization combining architecture and sustainable development, to re-enchant the Porte Maillot landscape in an unprecedented way. As the company responsible for the civil engineering, Arcadis has designed the structure of this unique building in the world that will become one of the new emblems of the reinvention of Paris. "
