Europan 03 (1993 - 1994)

At Home in the City, Urbanisation of Residential Areas

In a large number of European towns and conurbations, districts where people live are suffering from spatial, functional and social uniformity. Management of space and standardised production methods have led to ruptures which accentuate the polarisations between the public space and the private space. These do not facilitate the diversity of lifestyles and living, and are hardly propitious to the reorganisation of spare-time activities and to the multiple and to the communal appropriations of the town's spaces.

The use of communications technology and the fragmentations of urban spaces modifies the notion of spatial distance and proximity; the social relationships are no longer drawn exclusively from life in the immediate vicinity, or the domestic circle, they have enlarged to the scale of the town. It is a case of making possible a variation of sociabilities and cultures, favouring the establishment in space of innovative practices, treating the mixity of uses, the home/work relationship, and the ways and means of creating employment locally.
