Productive Cities 2: Resources - Mobility - Social Equity
EUROPAN 15 wishes to highlight in particular the issue of ecological transition in the productive city project of the future. Dealing with the ecological productive transition means taking into account the existing synergies between ecosystems, between biotopes and artefacts, between functions and uses, between citizens... The creation of these synergies implies another way of doing and thinking about the city in order to anticipate the changes that are going to take place in it, committing urban policy makers to the environment and to life.
EUROPAN 15 therefore proposes to focus on three issues that concern the new productive conditions of transformation: Resources, Mobility and Spatial Equity.
- Resources: How can we limit the consumption and pollution of resources such as water and air? How to share resources? What technical and social innovations might be needed to achieve this?
- Mobility: How to incorporate mobility and accessibility in productive territories?
- Equity: How can spatial equity contribute to social equity? How to link the social with the spatial? How to achieve a balance between territories, between urban and rural, between rich and poor?
These three categories are divided into three scales: The "XL" territorial scale, a large scale that, in some cases, goes beyond the city itself (interurban or rural) and is based on the change in uses and practices. For EUROPAN, it means being able to develop, after the competition, large-scale strategic studies that will provide the city with a roadmap for urban development.
The intermediate scale "L" which corresponds to the neighbourhood or a strategic urban fragment. The intervention on sites of this scale leads to the development of the winning ideas through urban projects of which the teams will implement a part.
The micro "S" scale is the small scale that invites the presentation of pro-urban architecture projects with the capacity to have an impact on a larger scale. It is also the scale of building rather quickly, of smaller, even temporary, interventions.
a. To implement
In order to implement new dynamics or reactivate resources such as urban agriculture, education, research or creative forces, two factors have to be considered: productive environments and productive uses.
1. Productive environments It is a question of establishing a natural, cultural, social or economic environment or of stimulating it symbiotically as opposed to architecture understood as an object or urban planning seen as technocracy.

2. Productive uses
Productive uses function as triggers of change dynamics capable of transforming the surrounding environment. Innsbruck (AT) / Oliva (ES) / Pays de Dreux (FR) / Rotterdam Groot I Jsselmonde (NL) / Uddevella (SE) / Visby (SE) / Wien (AT)
b. Creating proximities
The aim is to establish proximities between living and working by stimulating productive relations within residential areas, as well as between these residential areas and mono-functional production areas, by introducing collective and working activities in residual spaces that can bring quality to housing conditions. Secondly, it is a question of reconsidering the transition between the high speed of metropolitan mobility and the slower speed of neighbourhoods and city centres. Proximities take place in the physical space of the city, but also in the temporal space and on the scale of the actors involved, allowing for new exchanges between urban decision-makers and users (human and non-human).
1.Third spaces
Spaces inserted between housing, production and heterogeneous public spaces. They are likely to catalyse the transformation of existing production cycles to create new relationships and synergies with urban territories and everyday life.

2. Interfaces
The creation of interfaces helps to transform infrastructures for mobility, logistics, commerce or general services, shortening production cycles. These interfaces can also give rise to new types of relationship between residential activity and agriculture, between housing and services, between spaces and communities.

c. Changing the metabolism
This is about working with the relationships, processes, flows and multiple forces existing in a place to find a new balance between them. The sites are large in relation to their respective contexts and include a wide variety of actors (human and non-human), with long and short-term cycles and far-reaching ecological, economic and territorial implications.
1. From the linear to the circular By incorporating a "linear" approach, the site aims to include other resources and uses capable of creating synergies and new potentials for interaction. These new elements will play an important role in the functioning of the whole as a circular system, as they will be able to catalyse flows and processes in a more integrative and efficient way.

2. Multiplying actors The site aims to include new factors, new layers of functions that can lead to balanced growth.
