2. Objectives of the intervention
Goals of the intervention
This square was aging, not very visible and under-equipped. It originally offered a large sandy space surrounded by a thin vegetated strip, while despite its large trees, it appeared to be very minimal without any real character. As well as re-equipping the space with recreational facilities to improve the site's attraction, and recreating the vegetated strips by re-planting vegetation, the biodiversity of the site was to be improved by installing an insect hotel in the square (Ref. 1).

Implementation activities
During a public consultation on May 14, 2013 hosted by Strasbourg Eurometropole, wide appraisal was made of the proposal to develop the site. The delivery of planned works were made in November 2014 (Ref. 2). The duration of works lasted 4 months, running until February 2015 (Ref. 1). The awarding criteria for the contract listed environmental performance as one of the key aspects of the tender. The areas of the square worked on consisted of the following: Total area of the square = 2,500 m2 Green area = 950 m2 Stabilized area = 550 m2 Surface area for playground = 300 m2 Grass surface = 285 m2 Linear fencing = 110 ml (Ref. 3).
