The municipalities counterattack !
« The municipalities counterattack » is a local and public participative investment project with a
financial and branding return. Potent tool for the creation of a new type of social-based collective
cooperation, it is a solution encouraging the autonomy and auto financing of collectivities, as well
as for growing their international influence.
As the promoting country of the Papillon Source project, France will first develop this initiative for
collectivities of 5000 inhabitants and less, and later for those of 5000 to 10 000 inhabitants.

The principles of this initiative
•Municipalities will finance a pool of projects
targeting the creation of agricultural and touristic
vertical green structures called « green calderas »,
spanning over the entire national territory through
the constitution of a National economic and
societal interest group (GIE).
•Each country will come up with its own GIE of
local collectivities that will finance the touristic
and agroclimatic cities of the country. Each of
these GIE will be associated with the Papillon
Source umbrella project through an operational
contract.

The green calderas : description
Green calderas are vertical parks and climate
generators that can be visited in three
dimensions. They are key structures for the
Papillon Source future cities.
They constitute the principal element of the natural geoengineering process of the EL4DEV
program. They are the starting point of any initiative for the transformation/improvement of local
environments, or the creation of humidity and revegetation in arid, mild, or even equatorial
areas. Each city, touristic or not, will have green calderas.
