The city unified by the urban ramp of the open space workshopHow to connect the city center of Creil to the edge of the Oise, to a district positioned on a plateau while crossing a remarkable landscape on a vertical of 40 m? It was the challenge of this project led with determination by the team of the agency Espace Libre, landscapers and urban planners, with the support of the city of Creil. What could have been a banal development operation turned into a real project featuring the landscape, ecosystems, views. The sensitive layout of pathways and observation platforms is part of a natural process rather than the setting up of new uses of the site. © Julien FalsimagneThe will to gently connect the neighborhood to the city center with the new standards related to the handicap was the opportunity to think about a global project that went through the ecological restoration of the site, the hydrographic network and endemic plant species. by a careful study of the site; an inventory of its potentialities, as well as a detailed study of the nature of the soil were conducted in order to minimize the environmental damage. © Julien FalsimagneThis majestic bridge is more than a hundred meters long and rises through the treetops through an English park. The belvedere at the top of the bridge is levitating and opens an exceptional point of view of the city and the Oise. The structure of the steel bridge with an oak and larch wood surround allows withstanding the vibrations and the force to the winds. © Julien FalsimagneThe 1.2 kilometers of the path are marked with places of breaks, meetings and observations:- the belvedere haut- the Laversine glades- the belvedere of the crossroads- the crossroads- the hiker's plaza- the ramp a signage highlights the endangered species Their treatment favors sensitivity and sobriety the images appear in black and white and are very enlarged to immerse themselves in the "faces" often unknown to these living species in our same ecosystem You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If you have done all of this and still can't find the email “The commune of Creil has more than one hundred different nationalities”, says Jean-Claude Cabaret, deputy mayor of Creil a town with a population of 35,000 located north of the greater Paris region “The town’s commitment to international solidarity is logical given the make-up of its population” referring to the launch of a second phase of the Water and sanitation project in Nabadji Civol a rural commune in the north-east of Senegal with a population of 60,000 After a successful first phase that improved access to drinking water for over 3,000 people and enabled the construction of sanitation facilities in two schools and the commune’s market eight villages with no access to water and four schools with no toilets will benefit from this second phase This new phase was launched on 5 October last with the signature of the operational agreement by Pierre Jacquemot in the presence of the deputy mayor of Creil and the international relations mission coordinator which will provide project management assistance and assistance to the project owner Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker By Atelier Espace Libre | an urban ramp connects city and landscape in France The project – developed by the French urban and landscape design office “Atelier Espace Libre” with the support of the city of Creil – moved from a plan aimed to connect two urban districts into an ambitious landscape design which – by respectfully adding footpaths and panoramic terraces – also unveils the natural environment and the ecosystem of the Oise valley The necessity of linking a suburban neighborhood built after World War Two with the city center – from which it is separated by a hill – and improving urban accessibility provided the opportunity to conceive a larger project which comprised the regeneration of the Creil urban space The 1.2-kilometer / 0,7-mile long footpath includes a 100-meter-long pedestrian bridge which ends with an observation deck providing exceptional views over the city and the river The structure of the bridge is made of steel and clad with oak and larch wood boards copyright Inexhibit 2025 - ISSN: 2283-5474 You are using an outdated browser.

The George Brassens Social center, located on the Plateau-Rouher on Creil a rampart against difficulties and a fundamental presence in this sensitive region The new social center of Creil City has been inaugurated in the end of April 2015 as a fundamental corner stone of urban renovation project which gives a new look to the Plateau Roucher Over the last decade, Creil City in partnership with Creil Metropolitan and Urban Renovation National Agency, lead the urban renovation strategy of Rouher region. This area, located on the left shore of Oise, on the plateau overhanging the city, is typically a great set of constructions of 1960’s, made by orthogonal bars and towers. © Mathieu Ducros BdA bi-cephalous contextualized project © Mathieu Ducros BdA slight, peaceful and qualitative architecture SectionRegards to the commercial center, it is labeled by the implementation of the slide panels on the facade bars. This is also a combined esthetic and technic system which offers a quantitative alternative, perpetual and functional, for using the commercial rolling shutters. © Mathieu Ducros BdIn coherency with the architectural script of the social center a curtain wall hooks on facade from viewpoint of internal place in a dynamical conversation with the social center The slightly distorted linear of the facade on the walkway creates a public place operating as an urban appeal Arjan Smit gazes out over his tulip fields a riot of red and pink flowers he has cultivated all his adult life and part of a family business his grandfather started in 1940 The 55-year-old has seen many changes over a long career but he says climate change is making an all-consuming profession even harder raining and you can see the result,” he said the fields of Smitflowers are a picture-perfect row of flowers the type found on Dutch tourist brochures that attract visitors from around the world where tulips have fallen victim to the rain we lost around eight to nine percent of the bulbs in the field That means we are now starting to harvest our bulbs but we have lost a minimum of 13 percent of the new bulbs for next year.” And rising temperatures mean hotter spring and summer periods in the Netherlands — a deadly combination for tulip farmers “When I started this work around 30 years ago we had to water (the fields) two to four times in a (spring) season,” said Smit Smit produces 11 million tulips of all different varieties in a year-round operation combining natural cultivation with a huge greenhouse and cool room system in the winter Lining his office walls are pictures of Smit flowers in famous hands including him offering a bouquet to Queen Maxima “King Willem-Alexander was really jealous,” he grinned But the challenges for Smit and his trade were laid bare in late April torrential rain and hail all came in one single day This all adds up to a “difficult situation” for the tulips at the moment the roots did not grow down far enough in search of water that in a warm period they will not have enough roots to drink all the water they need and they will die again and we will have a very bad harvest period.” The answer for Smit and his 18 staff is constant vigilance “All we can do to adapt (to climate change) is to be awake 24/7 to see what is happening with your products on the field If climate change is a longer-term challenge Dutch tulip farmers are fretting about an even more imminent threat — increased Brexit border controls physical checks are now required for many plants and flowers entering Britain Traders on both sides are worried about delays and damaged produce said there was still “uncertainty about waiting times” and “not yet sufficient” capacity to carry out the checks “Companies say they are considering not sending plants during the first week of border controls,” said Rozendaal amid reports from Britain of garden centers stockpiling Smit estimates around 80 percent of his crop ends up abroad — he sells directly to an exporter — and any delay during border checks would be “catastrophic” for the flowers the genial farmer is upbeat about the prospects for his son who will be the fourth generation Smit running the family business “It’s hard but when you control this in a good way you can have a good profit in the bulbs industry He believes strongly in the positive impact of flowers and donates to cities in war-torn Ukraine the site of the infamous massacre by Russian troops Proudly showing pictures of a

barley conference Fourth in the world on entering the Irish market a decade ago buying over three million tonnes of barley in 2022 Eoin Lyons of Teagasc presented research showing that min-till could perform as well as plough-based planting for spring malting barley but a good cover crop was important to it’s health Direct drilling failed to perform adequately in the same conditions who has
