EUROPAN 3

In the city as at home, urbanise residential neighbourhoods.

The theme of the third EUROPAN competition is at the intersection of that proposed for the first competition, which looked at the interior of the home in terms of changing lifestyles, and the theme of the second competition. The revaluation of the place of housing in urban spaces undergoing reconversion. How can existing residential neighbourhoods be developed to make them compatible with changing lifestyles - affecting housing, work and leisure - and with Europeans' aspirations for pluralistic citizenship? How can we reactivate these neighbourhoods? How to approach the relationship between private and public spaces in the city today? What is the status of transitional spaces, based on the evolution of the relationship between intimacy and urbanity?

In many European cities, residential neighbourhoods suffer from spatial, functional and social uniformity. A certain management of space and normative modes of production have led to ruptures that accentuate the polarisations between public and private space. These polarisations neither facilitate the diversity of lifestyles nor are they conducive to the reorganisation of social time; nor do they allow for multiple and collective appropriations of the city's spaces.

The use of the media and the fragmentation of urban space change notions of distance and spatial proximity; social relations are no longer confined exclusively to the immediate living environment or domestic life, but are extended to the scale of the city. These facts imply numerous urban challenges; it is a question of enabling the coexistence of diverse societies and cultures, of favouring the implementation of innovative practices, of dealing with the mix of uses, the relationship between housing and work, the possibilities and modalities of creating employment close to work. It is also about combating environmental pollution and the feeling of insecurity, to enhance the quality of life, taking into account ecological values.

 

Urban actors must focus on the housing environment, a space that is currently ignored, in order to make it the subject of architectural reflection on a European scale, in the context of the social and economic transformations underway. In the face of urban discontinuities, it is a question of rethinking the architectural categories of interior/exterior, public/private. What are the points of contact between housing and public space? How to introduce mobility spaces such as the car into the city? How to take into account the demands of collective services and individual appropriation of outdoor spaces? What place is reserved for the urban?
