TEAM POINT OF VIEW — Every age has its own production;
every production designs its own city. Besançon reoriented the watchmaking production into micro technology as a clear example of a renovating tradition over time. Macro-Chip Urbain inserts the site into a large-scale consideration including it in a long-term growth scenario together with the productive areas around it, thus fostering spatial and economical interactions between academic, scientific and industrial actors. A system of referential buildings and public spaces constitutes a sequence of productive Milestones that benefit from an intermodal integration to the public transport and a landscape design. Macro-Chip Urbain proposes itself as a flexible instrument to orientate local modifications that participate to a global transformation of Besançon.
