TEAM POINT OF VIEW — Toolkit City is a pragmatic project of city

mutation combining an urban vision with a negotiation process. This combination is necessary in order to define how a city (housing, shops, public spaces etc.) can be accepted in an unwelcoming existing productive site that needs to be strengthened. This project is also the opportunity to imagine new synergies between the different actors in the production chain: the “thinkers makers – users” that we want to connect through a central axis. This axis of development, perpendicular to the Garonne River, would link the heart of Bègles to its River Bank and would provide the access of a metropolitan network of perpendicular axes to the river. The idea is to imagine how to favour future interactions necessary for the 21st century production.
