Doulon-Gohards: Creating the fertile city
On former gardening territories at the East of Nantes, in periphery of Vieux Doulon, the urban project Doulon-Gohards will develop on 180 hectares. Last June 22th, a public meeting has ended the dialog phase, prior to the creation of the ZAC (joint development zone). About 75 inhabitants, from Nantes and St Luce, have participated to define, in the past six month, the main lines of the urban project, side by side with the general contractor team: In Situ A&E office and the Atelier de paysages Bruel-Delmar.

The 'L'Alouette Rit' and 'Bois des Anses' farms have successfully integrated into the landscape and local community.
The new 'Claire Bretécher' school opened in 2022, and the first urban section of the Vallon des Gohards is currently under construction, with completion scheduled for 2027.
Priority is given to active travel routes that are comfortable and reflect the heritage of Doulon’s market-gardening landscape. Three footbridges have been built to allow pedestrians and cyclists to cross the Gohards stream.
