The EU policy level recognises the existential threat that climate change and environmental degradation poses to Europe. It also acknowledges the insufficiency of conventional technological, governance approaches and the need for innovation. As such, the European Green Deal and related instruments seek to transform the EU into a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy, where economic growth is decoupled from resource use and no person and no place is left behind.

A frequently cited statistic estimates that 70% of the world’s population will reside in urban areas by 2050. In Europe, however, that figure is already over 70% and due to reach 80% by 2020.

À travers cette note d’analyse coéditée avec la plateforme Communa, POUR LA SOLIDARITÉ-PLS vous invite à une réflexion sur l’immense potentiel de cette pratique qui, organisée de manière à servir l’intérêt collectif, apporte des solutions immédiates et concrètes à de nombreux défis que connaissent nos villes.

This open-source toolbox allows placemakers to work on projects and achieve their goals to make better places regardless of their background or previous experience. This is a “one stop page” to find the right resource to apply to your project or context. Additionally, as these manuals are invented and developed by those intimately attached to the projects that the tool has been applied to, we can gain deep insights into the contextual application, applaud these placemakers’ tool contributions to the network, and even have the ability to reach out and ask advice for how to apply the tool in different contexts. From this collection of resources, placemaking work is able to be locally relevant, while globally competitive with international and multidisciplinary inputs to support a robust process and strategy, and therefore, a successful and enduring place users want to keep coming back to.

Les enquêtes qui composent cet ouvrage, portant sur des quartiers singulièrement réfractaires aux processus de métropolisation, opèrent par une approche que l’on pourrait appeler générative en ce qu’elle s’attache aux devenirs toujours imprévus des coexistences entre des êtres, humains et non-humains, et aux résurgences des vieilles histoires qui ont sédimenté la vie d’un quartier.
