Type of territory

Issy-les-Moulineaux

Issy les Moulineaux is a city that has known a significant development with increasing attractiveness since the 1980ies. More than 40% of the area of ​​the City (425 ha) was subject to a urban renewal. Over the past 35 years, brownfields and abandoned buildings have given way to new, modern and harmonious neighborhoods. This development, mainly in the form of ZAC (Concerted Development Zone), has always been the result of a strong desire to enter the city in a sustainability scheme, focusing on habitat diversity / offices / shops / services.

With more than 66,000 inhabitants, Issy continues to attract new residents looking for quality of life (green areas represent 53.1 ha) but also a high level of service.

With its dynamism, daring and innovative dimension (especially in terms of new technologies) and its very good access by public transport, the city has also attracted many companies. It hosts the headquarters of prestigious companies such as Microsoft, SAFRAN, Sodexo, Aldebaran Robotics, Coca Cola, etc. It is also the privileged place of settlement for many media and has gradually established itself as a must-go city for the communication sector.

Current issues and challenges for the community

The regeneration of brownfield sites is now complete. It is now for the city to provide a new dynamic of urban development, in particular linked to the many public transport projects, including the Grand Paris Express, and served by two stations in 2022. These will enhance the region's attractiveness and promote the development of housing and economic activities.

Issy-les-Moulineaux will nevertheless take care of preserving the living environment by developing green spaces which the city is particularly attached to. Indeed, with its 8.3 m² of green space per inhabitant, Issy is among the best endowed cities of the department and intends to maintain this position.

The challenge is thus to propose a integrated and environmentally friendly "density", but also rational and selective, adapting to the local context, including the new polarities related to public transport projects.

Overall development strategy of the city and its neighborhoods

  In response to these challenges, the city comes to develop a Project Planning and Sustainable Development for its new PLU (Local Urbanism Plan) to enhance the attractiveness and identity isséenne around two axes:

  • smart city, excellence to affirm in the Metropolis
  • a unique living environment to preserve.

The territorial attractiveness is considered in a logic of reaffirming the dynamic and daring city image on the outskirts of Paris, integrating residential, demographic and economic dimensions.

It aims meet the major metropolitan issues, while preserving the green and blue PLU, the suburban districts, the remarkable built heritage, urban bustle of the city center and neighborhood life.

The improvement project also encourages commercial momentum on major roads and major local centralities.

Net density

Social diversity 

Residents are satisfied with the quality of life in Fort Issy: 95% of residents are proud to live there.

93% of respondents found that there is a real neighborhood life, especially through the village spirit and lack of drive.

The facilities and public areas are very many innovative - a school of straw and wood, a Feng Shui pool, a space for cultural and digital animation, sports equipment, etc. - As well as green spaces with an orchard of 44,000 m2 and a shared garden for growing a vegetable garden and a Japanese garden.

SOLUTIONS

    Aquazena, Feng Shui swimming pool

    On an area of ​​over 2,000m2, it hosts a large pool of 25 m, a children's pool and a paddling pool for smaller spaces dedicated to fitness with a group class room and a cardio room hosting 16 aircraft cardio and weight training and two squash courts.

    Water treatment with ozone

    • The pool has a water treatment with ozone, a system of new generation still little used in the pool, compared to the standard disinfectants such as chlorine products.
    • The ozone treatment is based on the use of ozone generators, a molecule consisting of three oxygen atoms, naturally present in the atmosphere, which is a powerful oxidizing agent and disinfection more efficient as chlorine. The production of ozone is performed in an ozonation column from ambient air or from oxygen.

    Advantages of ozone treatment

    • Ozone is the most powerful oxidizer, used for over 40 years in the treatment of drinking water, the waste water, industry and swimming pools in recent years, where he made a grand entrance.
    • The water produced is perfectly disinfected. Ozone destroys bacteria but also viruses, and this in a very short time. Where it would take 20 minutes for disinfection of water with chlorine, it takes less than a minute with ozone.
    • The rate of chloramines, which can cause public health problems (irritation of the eyes, ears and throat), is greatly reduced. In addition, certain viruses, amoebae and cysts are not destroyed by the chemicals normally used for treatment of swimming pool water.
    • The water obtained is clearer and purer: Ozone is a very good micro-flocculant to trap the finest parts on a sand filter, agglomerating. Since water is clearer, it then has a bluish color.
    • With ozone, saving on water consumption are realized because it is no longer mandatory to renew as the pool water to maintain compliance with regulations.

    Electronic system monitoring swimmers

    • The pool has an innovative system of electronic monitoring of swimmers. To overcome drownings that occur each year in swimming pools, Poseidon company has developed a system of monitoring and warning consists of a series of underwater cameras and aerial and software that analyzes images to identify the position of swimmers.

Waste management

Pneumatic collection of household waste at the forefront of innovation


This is a first in France, the eco-Fort area is equipped with a mobile vacuum system by truck, part of the objectives of the Grenelle Environment Forum and has many benefits for the people, as for the community. Deployed by Veolia Environmental Services and Envac companies, this system optimizes hygiene and safety, while reducing noise and odors in undervaluing costs and decreasing CO2 emissions in the Fort which are generated about 55 tons of waste per month, or 660 tons of waste per year.


This collection system makes it possible to reduce the distance traveled by the collection trucks, thereby reducing noise and greenhouse gas emissions. The voluntary contribution principle has been retained for the collection of glass, which can be achieved by suction for reasons of pipes abrasiveness. For bulky, dedicated areas are accessible walk-by dump trucks.



  • Collection terminals 115

  • 2 suction point outside


Seton survey by the Opinion Way for the city of Issy-les-Moulineaux and Bouygues Immobilier:



  • The 95% expressed satisfaction habitantsse the tire collection system for household waste. They are met by reduction of nuisances (noise, pollution) related to the collection of waste.

  • 91% believe that this sort of system is effective. They particularly appreciate the proximity of the terminals collection and reduction of noise and smells.

SOLUTIONS

    Pneumatic waste collection system with suction

    Specifically, residents deposit their waste in collection terminals that store temporarily in underground tanks with a capacity of 3 to 8 m3. The "aspiring" trucks followed connect on external suction points.


    The waste is then sucked from suction two points located outside the Fort. A truck passes every day on these two points and aspires waste based on the 48 containers fill rate, signposted from automatic sensors.


    This system allows:



    • Remove containers in buildings and public spaces;

    • Remove trash bins on the roads;

    • Remove the flow of conventional garbage trucks inside the Fort

    • Delete the pre-collection expenses (maintenance of buildings and bins, output loads back and bins before and after each collection classical ...);

    • Eliminate the risk of fire;

    • Ensure selective waste sorting at source, recycling more reliable;

    • Provide automatic control over the whole network and live maintenance.

Biodiversity and natural areas

Green spaces respecting biodiversity


An important place was given to green spaces that respect both the history of the place and participate in an environmental approach. The landscape concept of Fort Issy signed the landscape Meristem agency. They include:



  • An orchard of 300 trees with a dozen varieties of apple, cherry, plum and pear trees whose fruit will be picked by the locals.

  • A Japanese garden: designed by gardeners Ichikawa, the twin city of Issy-les-Moulineaux, this garden will be completed by the end of 2015, will be a green area, a place of tranquility and meditation.

  • The gardens shared to cultivate his garden: a space of 1200 m² is available to the association Les Jardins du Fort to accommodate 86 individual plots of land intended for Isséens and an area of compost and an apiary.

  • Watering of gardens Fort is provided exclusively by rain. There is no automatic irrigation. Only trees and shrubs are watered at planting. No fertilizer, herbicide or plant protection product is used. Mulching massive trees and keeps the freshness and therefore limit watering operations and slow the proliferation of weeds. In the unplanted area near the water mirror, is a flowery meadow that preserves biodiversity. This is mowed once a year, around the month of October, to allow natural seedlings of annuals and regeneration of the prairie.


According to the poll conducted by Opinion Way for the city of Issy-les-Moulineaux and Bouygues Immobilier:



  • 97% of residents are finding that green spaces are important to their quality of life at Fort Issy.

Climate adaptation, resources conservation, GHG emissions

The electricity consumption related to lighting and decision of 1600 housing totals approximately 2500 MWh per year, representing nearly 20% of the energy consumption of Fort Issy. Ultimately, the Smart Grid of Issy-les-Moulineaux should prevent consumption from March to April GWh of electricity and the emission of over 180 tonnes of CO2 eq per year.

Energy sobriety

A high environmental quality neighborhood, with advanced equipment

SOLUTIONS

    Geothermal

    The heating system can power the 1623 housing and public facilities of the Fort, in a process quite innovative. This unique heating network in France, designed and operated by Dalkia, is a water loop network tempered at 27 ° C, from a water from 28 ° C collected in two geothermal wells dug under the district, 650 meters deep to reach the sheet of the Albian.


    The principle of "geothermal doublet" lets not lose a single m3 of water. The entirety of the water pumped from the aquifer is fed back without affecting its quality or changing its composition. Thus, the water table is not impacted by this system. The geothermal heating system that supplies the eco-district consists of the geothermal power station and a heat loop that feeds a series of substations equipped with heat pumps located at the foot of each building.


    If the choice was on a conventional gas installation, consumption on the entire eco-district would have reached up to 13,000 MWh of gas per year. And if the installation was operating the fuel, heating oil 45 semitrailer trucks would be needed to feed the boilers.


    In addition to its environmental advantages, this device also allows subscribers to benefit from attractive pricing through reduced VAT to 5.5% and subsidies from ADEME and the Île-de-France region.
