Localtis : Alors que la phase de reprise de l’activité se profile avec le déconfinement, les collectivités anticipent déjà la phase suivante, celle de la relance. Après les régions appelant à un "New Deal industriel et environnemental", l'ADCF préconise une approche différenciée selon les territoires, à partir d’une analyse géographique de l’impact de la crise. Elle propose l'élaboration de "pactes territoriaux de relance et de croissance", rassemblant les différents contrats conclus à l'échelle intercommunale, accompagnée d’un "grenelle de la commande publique" et d’un plan de relocalisations.

Covering an area of 4,000 square metres, Europe’s largest urban farm is located in the heart of Brussels, on the rooftops of the Foodmet, a food hall known as “the belly of Brussels”, which attracts more than 100,000 people every weekend. “Having always had a vision of the city as a solution and not a problem, I’ve been investigating ways to make it productive,” said Beckers. “As an architect, I also saw the potential of surrounding a building with a productive greenhouse whose plants regulate the climate and protect the occupants from extremes, while at the same time purifying the air of the CO2 it is burdened with,” Beckers added.

Longer-termecological goals will once again be in danger of being undermined,just as they were following the financial crisis in 2008. https://www.greenhousethinktank.org/uploads/4/8/3/2/48324387/from_the_covid-19_crisis_to_a_sustainable_economy_r_loske.pdf

London’s leafy streets and gardens have long been prized for their beauty — and more recently their ability to counteract carbon emissions and improve air quality. But the value of urban trees can also be measured with money. A new report from Britain’s Office of National Statistics estimates tree cover saved the capital more than 5 billion pounds ($6.56 billion) from 2014 to 2018 through air cooling alone. Additionally, by keeping summer temperatures bearable for workers, trees prevented productivity losses of almost 11 billion pounds.
