La Défense reinvents its Esplanade
The redevelopment of the Esplanade at La Défense transforms this iconic slab into a 5-hectare urban park, the largest built on a slab in France. Led by Paris La Défense and carried out by the Razel-Bec teams, the project includes lightweight fill materials, structures adapted to load constraints, and optimized logistics. Despite the complexity of the site and its high daily foot traffic, the work is carried out with precision, following a responsible approach that combines reuse, plastic reduction, and carbon monitoring.
