Ecology and sustainable development are now among the major priorities of urban planning policies. The creation of urban forests could be an alternative to urban parks, which tend to be somewhat concrete.

The urban forest: elements of a “modern” greening concept… |
Difficult to achieve, urban forests could correspond to linking all the economic, political, ethical and social issues... To be effective, these "new natural zones" must be connected to existing green spaces present in the various neighborhoods, avenues, squares and urban parks... Furthermore, all green spaces must form real ecological corridors and contribute to the sustainable development of the territory of modern cities. Compared to large urban parks that are often too concreted and too controlled, urban forests represent a natural space closer to each of us...The objectives of urban forests · Allow the preservation of existing natural spaces · Recreate balanced natural “new zones”... · Serve as a carbon sink · Serve as a buffer zone during rainy periods... · Create a green belt around the urban area, a district... · Provide habitats for flora and fauna · Fix pollinators and auxiliaries sustainably... · Provide a leisure and relaxation space for residents · Develop, in the long term, the wood industry (local sustainable management “in proximity”) · Protection against climatic agents: winds, storms, “local” erosion, etc. · Creation of “cooler” “hygrometry” zones · Species reintroduction test area... · Restore the sense of observation, comparison and listening... · Create a space of scents of perfume (flowering) and wonder... · Rediscover the “roots” of each of us! · Understand the necessary role of each of the forest stakeholders to create a balanced and sustainable whole!... · Learn to look at the infinitely small: mosses, algae, fungi, lichens, ants, myriapods, spiders, caterpillars and larvae... · Associate the basic vital needs of plant life... with the necessary degradation of each of them by the different actors of the decomposition and transformation of matter! Etc. .. · The time taken to create an urban forest... When it comes to developing these forests, the notion of time is paramount. Between planning, various urban planning documents, and the actual planting, completing an overall project can take 25 to 30 years.
