This demolition work is part of an overall plan to extend the Promenade du Paillon - a "
green
corridor" with flowers and trees that connects the Promenade des Anglais to the National Theatre.
Through this project, the executive aims to plant 1,500 trees to allow the capture of 50 tonnes of CO2 per year thanks to their growth and the absorption of one tonne per year of atmospheric pollutants.
A project that does not pack the opposition.
“
If you had seriously carried out an impact study, you would have understood that your projects contribute to the production of greenhouse gases, therefore to global warming
, had scolded at the last municipal council Fabrice Decoupigny, elected ecologist, denouncing a
carbon footprint catastrophic when you destroy to rebuild
