Rehabilitating Brownfields - Hamo+ Smart Grid Eco-Districts
The Cartofriches national inventory estimates the total surface area occupied by industrial wastelands in France at 90,000 to 150,000 hectares (2020). Ideally located in city centers, these abandoned sites appear today as one of the major solutions to urban sprawl.

Hamo+ is a project with two key principles: the rehabilitation of industrial wastelands; and the creation of ecological neighborhoods in Smart Grid (smart electricity distribution network). These collective and always-evolving living spaces are part of an eco-responsible and socially inclusive approach, which is essential to build a sustainable city.
The first objective of Hamo+ is to produce local and renewable energy with the installation of solar panels on roofs and a photovoltaic farm on degraded land.
The project also acts on the building sector by reducing energy consumption through dense housing, energy performance and the use of ecological materials.
Mobility is also considered by thinking differently about the car, thanks to the implementation of shared mobility solutions, and by guaranteeing excellent accessibility for public transport.
Finally, the creation of eco-neighborhoods also integrates waste issues, i.e. reducing waste by setting up collective composting areas and by raising the awareness of residents.
Together, these actions allow for the economic revitalization of the area.
