By acquiring one of the largest wood-fired boilers of this generation in France, La Duchère was able to abandon coal and offer more comfort to residents. Each year, this device prevents the release of 25,100 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere. Sustainable development is at the heart of the Great City Project. New constructions incorporate High Energy Performance standards; improvement work on old buildings has been carried out to promote energy savings. Public facilities are at the forefront of sustainable development, such as the Plateau gymnasium, schools, or the future athletics hall which will be covered with photovoltaic panels. The living environment of La Duchère is at the heart of our concerns and its improvement is reflected in achievements in public spaces and green spaces. With projects such as the Averroès square or the Parc du Vallon, we are helping to enhance your daily environment. Beyond that, sustainable development is a state of mind that must also be reflected in our daily actions and we must move forward together to bring about eco-citizen behavior. Every day, we have the opportunity to make our contribution by using public transport, soft modes, sorting waste, respecting the environment.
