IntroductionThe city of Paris is famous for its obsession and its long tradition in the design of its urban spaces, a fact demonstrated by the large number of over 450 public spaces designed (gardens, squares, parks, promenades, etc.) included in its largest surface area. At the same time, many of Paris' gardens and parks appear to be legacies of the royal past or gifts from previous presidents and mayors of the city and often tend to be "museumized". An exceptional example among this plethora of designed urban spaces Paris has to offer is Jardins d'Éole. Designed in 2005 by Michel and Claire Corajoud and Georges Descombes as a “living space” or “space for life”, Jardins d'Éole stands out from the rest of the storefronts for several reasons; First, its location: Cour du Maroc (as the site was called before it was redesigned and renamed Jardins d'Éole), was a 4.2-hectare former rail yard area, located close to the city center between the 18th and 19th centuries. arrondisement, in an interesting but complex urban area, between the built environment and the railway. The surrounding district has historically been home to a low-income, predominantly immigrant, multicultural, disadvantaged and diverse community. The new park is the fruit of ten years of activism and environmental mobilization of its community, represented by a neighborhood association, which claims the space as essential for improving daily living conditions in the densest area of ​​Paris. Finally, the successful role of Jardins d'Éole as an inclusive urban space and interactive platform for its users, seeking to reduce social and spatial inequalities, make it an innovative example of sustainable urban design.
