Re-greening Paris, with Nathalie Baumann
This weeks guest is Nath Baumann, urban ecologist with the Swiss Green Infrastructure Consultancy &
Lecturer at the Zurich School of Applied Science (ZHAW).
Nath joined me to talk about her more than ten years work in the regreening of Paris and in particular the initiatives under Mayor Anne Hidalgo to widen access to the benefits of nature as part of increasingly urgent efforts to transform the city into a beacon of circular and ecological design. The conversation was framed around La Recyclerie, an urban farm, repair cafe, sharing hub and restaurant but we covered a lot of the great initiatives and developments around Paris - and even touched on the way systems thinking is shaping its relationship with the agricultural areas beyond its periphery.
