Cityzan Vox
Podcast
In April 2023, Franck Boutté appeared on the Cityzan Vox podcast to take part in an open discussion on the opportunities offered up by France’s Zero Net Artificialization (ZAN) law—a policy that aims to reduce the artificialization of land in the country. From land sobriety to carbon and artificialization, Franck Boutté explored the paths to positive urban transformation and encouraged listeners to imagine a future with more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient cities.
Why is it vital we preserve fertile soil? How can we balance sobriety and need? What does the future hold for new builds in the urban construction landscape? What solutions can existing buildings offer? Where does our leverage lie to help build resilience cities?
In this podcast, Franck Boutté focuses on contemporary urban challenges and the innovative solutions for shaping the future of our cities.
Cityzan Vox is a podcast committed to preserving our soil and finding land-saving solutions in building our cities. It proposes to decipher the impacts of the ZAN regulation, introduced by France’s 2021 Climate and Resilience Act, on the process of building cities. This podcast was created by Fanny Ervera, former ZAN mission director for the Yvelines department.
