Scheduled until the end of 2025 (counting the demolitions of the TNN, by the end of the year, and of the Acropolis Palace, between February 2023 and summer 2024), the construction site of the extension of the promenade du Paillon should cost 75 million euros.
This additional green space of 8 hectares in the city center should include "more than 1,500 trees", according to Christian Estrosi.
The project enters a little more into the concrete.
After the unbolting of two sculptures on the forecourt of the TNN, to be able to launch its destruction, the city of Nice has just presented the images delivered by the architects chosen for the extension of the Paillon promenade.
Still contested by some, who oppose the demolition of the theater, this extension will include "more than 1,500 trees" promised Christian Estrosi.
Some of which will be planted on the slopes of a green hill, a vestige of the cultural place where the parking lot for the arts will be kept.
Right next door, the Nice Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (Mamac) will gain, in the open air, "400 m2 of additional exhibition space", according to the mayor.
And, at the end of the project, a footbridge will allow pedestrians to cross the Jean-Monnet crossing to reach the future Palais de la culture.
Christian Estrosi sees it as "a real ecological corridor"
The mayor of Nice describes neither more nor less "a real ecological corridor" which will be "made up of permeable and fertile soils, and basins sheltering fauna and flora".
Hackberry trees of Provence, holm oaks, mulberry trees, maples, ashes are planned in the 8 new hectares of this project which "is inspired by emblematic gardens of the city such as the Hill of the castle, the dark valleys or the woods of the gardens of Cimiez”.
The architects João Luís Carrilho da Graça and Alexandre Chemetoff have also planned a watercourse fed by "an ingenious and virtuous system of valorization of rainwater" and which will crisscross the park over its entire length, i.e. 1 km, described the 'elected.
Several pools are also visible on the visuals that have been unveiled.
Scheduled until the end of 2025 (counting the demolitions of the TNN, by the end of the year, and of the Acropolis Palace, between February 2023 and the summer of 2024), the site should represent a budget estimated at 75 million euros.
And half of which will be financed by subsidies, assures the town hall.
1,740 tons of CO2 less?
A collective denounces “fake news”
Faced with criticism, and while the demolition of the TNN will be the subject of an appeal, Wednesday at 10 a.m. before the Administrative Court of Nice, Christian Estrosi praises above all the ecological dimension of his project.
“An Atmosud study has just confirmed the relevance of this large greening in the city, by highlighting the removal of the canyon streets around Acropolis in which pollutants accumulate”, he announced.
And to put forward figures.
According to him, these developments “will allow a carbon gain of 1,740 tonnes of CO2 each year”.
Of which 40 tons thanks to "the creation of a vast urban forest" and the other 1,700 tons "with the removal of two buildings representing the carbon equivalent of a concrete plant".
A version directly contested by the Citizen Collective 06, which denounces "fake news" and does not make the same calculation at all.
"The official data from the Low Carbon label of the Ministry of Ecological Transition indicate an average reduction of 5 kg CO2 per year and per tree, or 7.5 tonnes per year for the 8-hectare extension", write its managers Thierry Bitouzé and Airy Chretien.
