Bien organisé. Transition malhabile.
Il manque la mise en relation explicite des documents (document A/B/C) avec des
citations courtes.
C’est court et synthétique.
Attention : La 1ère et la 3ème partie du sujet sont bien expliquées. La 2ème est sous-
entendue. Ceci n’est pas un critère de réussite.
After decades of political and economic crisis, Ireland seems to have moved on from its
tragedies. Document A is an article from the Irish Times about Irish diaspora. Documentary B
is an article from Irish Central about Ireland’s diplomatic influence worldwide. Documents C is
a scheme about migration in Ireland. In this context, we can ask ourselves, how did Ireland
clean its rusted image. First, we’ll talk about the emigrant’s role, and the government.
To begin with, Ireland has one of the biggest diaspora in Europe. Indeed, document A informs
us that 70 million people across the globe are affiliated to Ireland to a certain degree. This
massive diaspora is spreading across the world and help the country building a brand-new
image, one that isn’t about poverty or civil war. The millions of people that advocate for
Ireland only reinforce their “soft power”. A country as small as Ireland - around 5 million
inhabitants in 2021- can only benefits from this new interest around the country and their
culture, known by many thanks to the emigrants. This wave of excitement around Ireland is
so strong that holidays like Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated in far-flung countries like the
United States, where Irish communities are the most. Ireland can also count on emigrants to
keep the bond between their loved-ones who stayed in England, proof that Irish influence
and culture is tied to many countries by indivisible strings. Indeed, in 2021, 30,200 people
return to live in Ireland.
Now let’s dive into the second part.
The Irish government also plays a huge part in Ireland’s renewal. Document B tackles the
new face of Ireland in the diplomatic sphere, with many Irish political figures being at the
head of international organizations like Eurogroup or the European Central bank. Those Irish
politician help the country gaining influence and building a brand-new reputation, especially
after an economic crisis in 2010 and a recession in 2008. Ireland was one of the most
affected by the 2008 economic crisis among European countries, and while they are pretty
resilient country, other countries were still a bit hesitant about giving them more important
roles, up until now. Today Ireland is part of the United Nations Security Council and the
European Commission for Trade, wich undoubtedly help them reinforce their influence. The
government also encourage the diaspora, with the establishment of the Ireland’s diaspora
policy. The government is embracing Irish culture and even the stereotypes to apeal to as
many countries as possible. Ireland’s diplomatic influence is nowhere to be proved now that
they played a crucial role during Brexit.
To conclude, Ireland cleaned its rusted image worldwide by using their diaspora and
emigrants who helped spreading the culture, and the government, by being involved in
international organizations.

Excellente mise en relation des documents.
Allusions explicites aux documents.
Bien organisé. Bonne articulation de la synthèse. Très cohérent.
Les trois points sont traités. Ceci n’est pas obligatoire mais on voit
bien que c’est exhaustif.
Nowadays, it is more than half of the world’s population that lives in

cities. Building green spaces in those cities presents many
advantages, for the physical and mental health of the inhabitants,
and to preserve the biodiversity as well. Therefore, we might
wonder, through the example of London, how are green spaces
managed, in and around the city?
First, we will see the functions of green spaces and the Green Belt.
Then, we will focus on the inequalities of access to green spaces,
and we will end up with the challenges that London faces, all that
through the study of the four documents.
In the case of London and green spaces there is a specificity. The

Green Belt, London’s “protected land“ according to document C, was
thought and developed extremely early. Its function is to restrain the
city’s expansion. But, more generally speaking, green spaces are
considered vital, at least as much as water or energy by London’s
mayor in the document B. Those spaces are built to enhance or
improve life in the neighbourhoods in the core of cities and try to
solve the problem of environmental justice. Lastly, they have an
aesthetic purpose, in order to make cities “greener rather than
greyer“.
However, the greatest issue with green spaces in cities is that they
are widely but inequally spread. We see in document A that there
are fewer parks in East London. The document B shows that one out
of five Londoners live 1 km away from nature. Based on Mr Lindo’s
testimony, we understand that the population disadvantaged here
are the poorer, often colored, minorities of workers. Document B
highlights the notion of environmental injustice. The testimony
coupled with document D shows the contrast : one part of London
would appreciate more than the bare minimum, whereas the other is
making green spaces more than an accommodation a modern
luxury.
Ultimately, the environmental injustice is not the only challenge

London faces. The Green Belt is endangered, as, because of the
housing crisis, developpers want to build on some of its portions.
The government, we learn in document C, rejected a call “last year“
(so in 2018) for a complete ban on building in the Green Belt area.
This is a paradox, because London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan seems to be

for the protection of green spaces, as he declared that access to
nature should be available to everyone. But that doesn’t mean he is
for the preservation of the Green Belt. Accordingly to document B,
he is more for building new areas in the neighbourhoods. Anyways,
local authorities seem to be pressured into accepting that project of
building housing under the pretext that it will solve the crisis, which
is the last problem. Building in the greenbelt will not help, but it will
just be a means to keep on gentrifying London, spoil the concept of
Green Belt and make poorer people even more invisible, as they will
not afford living anywhere.
To conclude, green spaces have become a key concern in many

fields. Managing them in and around the city is difficult, because it
means destabilizing a lot of things : the people, the economy and the
architecture for example.

C1 partout.
Des erreurs de base.
Bonne problématisation.
Green space in urban area has been the subject of numerous

debates for the past few decades. What are the challenges related to
green space access and protection and how does London face
them?
Four documents adress this issue. Document A is a map of London

green spaces and Belt, document B deals with access to green
space related inequalities, document C denounces developers
threatening the Green Belt and document D is an architectural
proposition to make London greener.
Enlightened by them, we will see that there is a lot of green spaces

in and out of London, but their access is limited and endangered. To
end this problem, people wants the government to act.
There are a lot of natural areas in London. The London greenbelt is a

2, 000 square miles area around the city, created in 1935 to prevent
urban sprawl. And 100 organisations are gathered in the “London
Green Belt Council” to make it accessible and protect it. Green
space represents about half of the city. Green buildings, natural
areas and parks have been created as the King’s Cross wildfire
Oasis from 1982.
But their access is limited, inequal and endangered. A fifth of
London inhabitants lives away from any green area, and only nine
percent of the Green Belt is open to the public. The people having
lower(fewer?) access to natural areas are young, poor and black
people. This environmental injustice is due to the crisis of
affordability of housing. Poor people stay in polluted and urban
neighbourhoods because housing near the Green Belt is too
expensive. Developers propose to build in protected lands in order to
provide more affordable dwellings. But according to LGBC reports it
wouldn’t be efficient and only represents a threat to the green
outskirts.
To answer this problem, scientists and inhabitants react, but the

government and the City Hall don’t seem to follow the lead.
Activists know David Lino recommand changes in the planning rules.
Lino advocates for equal access to green areas and, being an
ornithologist, he emphasizes on the wildlife matter. Companies
submit projects for a greener city as Wimberley, Allison, Tang and
Co. And societies propose new laws, Fabian think-tank wants for
instance, every resident to be near a green space. The mayor
agrees, saying that “green space (is) as vital as access to water”.
But no concrete action is taken. The government rejects Green Belt
protection laws propositions and wants to allow housing
construction on protected land, even though it won’t end the
housing affordability crisis according to the London Green Belt
Council.
To put it in a nutshell, parks and the Green Belt make London a

green city. But the access to those natural areas is limited, inequal
and endangered scientists and companies submit propositions to
make it easier to access and protect them. The government and the
City Hall say that they are interested in those ideas, but they don’t
seem to take action.
