Pays de Dreux Agglomeration — 1. WHAT ARE THE GOALS OF THE SITE MUTATION?
The Agglomeration seeks to test a new model of activity zone adapted to the challenges of the future (land sanctification, ecological transition, economic changes). This experiment will help develop a certain exemplarity in the design, development and management of a productive space that is better integrated into its environment —the rural/peri-urban landscape— and into the daily SAINT-LUBIN-DES-JONCHERETS
life of inhabitants and workers. 2. HOW CAN THE SITE BE INTEGRATED IN THE ISSUES OF PRODUCTIVE CITIES? HOW DO YOU CONSIDER THE PRODUCTIVITY IS-SUE?
The purpose of the sites is to accommodate companies (industrial, craft, etc.) in spaces that are truly integrated into their environment. They are also located in a productive territory through its agricultural sector. This cereal production, widely exported outside the territory, also comes with smaller forms of agriculture and local food 198

production. A transition to more diversified agriculture is an integral part of the transformation of the sites and the territory. 3. HAVE YOU ALREADY DEFINED A SPECIFIC PROCESS FOR THE URBAN AND/OR ARCHITECTURAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE AFTER EUROPAN COMPETITION?
The Agglomeration has not defined a specific process for the followup yet. Some options are available to the community: — A transversal AMO to build specifications for our future productive spaces, on the Europan sites as well as on a more general scale BREZOLLES
of the territory; — A new competition between the three teams on the basis of reworked specifications. In any case, the community wants to rely on all the projects submitted to build the new program and take full advantage of this ambitious approach.
