PINSON, Daniel. Ecochard, La Corse and the Environment The 1971 planning plan, from sea to mountain. African and Mediterranean Journal of Architecture and Urbanism, [S.l.], july 2020. ISSN 2665-7953. Available at the following address: https://revues.imist.ma/index.php/AMJAU/article/view/19206/11740 architect Michel Ecochard (1905-1985) is known for his work in the Middle East and Africa, in particular in Morocco, as Director of Protectorate Planning. Forced to leave the country shortly before his independence (1955), he will obtain some orders in France, in particular the development plan for Corsica. Taking into account the environmental thickness of an island whose state wants to develop the coastline in favour of tourism, it endeavours to demonstrate, through its study of the scheme, the sea-mountainous unit characterising an area whose societal, heritage and natural wealth is likely to be compromised. Ecochard will not succeed in securing recognition by the corse community of a document considered above all, although it is an attempt to resist 'all tourism', as an emanation of central government. The overbidding of independence will only increase this interpretation. However, this scheme contributes to a completely new environmental awareness in the field of development. ; International audience ; PINSON, Daniel.
