The Parc Martin Luther King stretches across ten hectares of former railway yards and industrial freight depots in the Batignolles district. Long before lawn chairs and runners appeared, this site functioned as a massive logistics hub for the French national railways. In nineteen ninety-nine, city planners decided to bury the tracks to reconnect neighborhoods that had been physically sliced apart for decades. The park serves as an ecological laboratory, relying on wind turbines and solar panels to power its own maintenance operations.
