A new edition of the periodical Paris Project
What services should citizens be offered? How to address growing needs by diminishing unequal access? How better to invest in what already exists? What programme for what type of place? How far can online offers go? And how to respond to the expectations of inhabitants’ who want to construct collectively? So many current issues upon which Apur sheds unprecedented light.
Following “Another kind of city” published in 2017, Apur has continued to analyse the changes which are permanently transforming our relationship with the city, by questioning what already exists, inventive responses which are sometimes very simple, and issues that need to be resolved in order to go further.
In 2030, there will be 350,000 more inhabitants in Métropole du Grand Paris. More than one person out of 5 will be 65 years old or more in 2050. New forms of precarity are emerging. The environmental issue is becoming central, as is the awareness of health risks.
This new edition of Paris Projet brings together accounts of experiences that illustrate in concrete terms the evolution taking place through projects underway or already finalised. The views of researchers and professionals enrich this work in a selection of articles, which are the result of a call for contributions launched in 2018, and nourish reflection with a plurality of approaches and analyses.
This forward looking work compiles and analyses responses which are invented in an evolving context. They are organised under 3 main themes:
- To optimise what exists already
- Future facilities and services
- Facilities “as a service”
