Lyon Part-Dieu, Contemporary Metropolitan Hub
The district of Lyon Part-Dieu was developed on a former military site during the 1970’s in the context of French administrative decentralisation policies. Located around Lyon’s main train station it has become the second largest business districts in France. Despite its economic success, the district suffers from monofunctionnality, unattractivity of its public space, poor environmental quality and ageing of many tertiary buildings. This led the Lyon Metropolis and the City of Lyon to initiate an ambitious urban regeneration project for the district in 2009, aiming to articulate massive public investment on transport, infrastructure and public space with rehabilitation or redevelopment operations carried out by private investors.
This co-production process is orchestrated by the public developer SPL Lyon Part-Dieu with l’AUC as chief architect and public space designer.
The lecture will be in English, open to public by zoom
Face to face lecture available for I-AUD students and alumni at 6F Lounge, Meiji University, Nakano Campus
