As part of the responsible development of the Smart City of Beau Plan, a regional reforestation program has begun. Aligned with Beau Plan’s vision of ensuring development that is sustainable and in harmony with nature instead of against it, the program aims to develop new areas of greenery in Beau Plan and its surroundings.
The Creative Park, cradle of creativity in Beau Plan will host the ‘Anba Pie’ festival this weekend. An invitation to a moment of relaxation, sharing and conviviality under the century-old trees, this festival aims to highlight the know-how of local artisans, creators and artists.
As we launched the Beau Plan’s Smart City project in 2018, creativity which is among one of our priorities, contributed to shape our vision for the project.
