A Dream Taking Root
50 hectares of transformation
Where others saw abandoned industrial land, we saw potential. Where there was concrete and rust, we envisioned forests and meadows. EcoPark began as a simple question: what if we could give this land back to nature and the community?
Today, that question has become a movement. Environmental scientists, landscape architects, community leaders, and passionate citizens have come together to create something unprecedented—an urban sanctuary that will transform how our city lives, breathes, and connects.

Our neighborhood has been waiting for something like this for decades. My children will grow up with nature at their doorstep instead of abandoned lots. This is what our city needs.

As an urban planner, I rarely see projects this thoughtful. EcoPark isn't just greenwashing—it's genuine ecological restoration combined with community benefit. A model for other cities.
