PROJECT DYNAMICS, SHOPS AND POTENTIAL PROPERTIES MOBILITY – ACTUAL SITUATION AND MAJOR PROJECTS TEAM POINT OF VIEW — The productive Cabucelle should not be a remanence of the industrial era, but rather rely on the existing broad neglect for a richer economic life, varied and cooperative for the entire area: the peripheral plots —project sites whose fundamentals have been settled— will be a lever to create an ecosystem based on an activity co-managed with the inhabitants and all the productive actors. The urban project is based on this logic of sharing, bringing together all the Cabucelle’s people in the Clinic, the coordinating structure. And sharing finds a spatial interpretation within the architectural and urban principles, with public spaces and programming that will create a heart of Cabucelle, giving the inhabitants a new place in the life of their district.

JURY POINT OF VIEW — The team proposes the renovation of the old clinic in La Cabucelle to become the heart of the neighbourhood’s renew a land a uniting force for the project: “La Clinique” is a joint management structure that brings citizens, associations and economic partners together around a shared transformation project. The productive city is both a heritage on which to build and the vision of a future driven by a new shared economic life, represented by the symbolically significant resuscitation of an abandoned public facility.
