The workshops of the territories are an initiative led by the Ministry of Territorial Cohesion, which allows to (re) think collectively a territory. For the 2017 session, the national reflection issue was entitled: Better living together in the suburbia.
Our approach around Caen-La-Mer was based on uses. This approach made it possible to change the representations on suburbia. This exercise leads us especially to reconsider the political economy of the suburbia: the design of this spaces obeys an economic logic which leads to an extensive use of the grounds with is also in clear shift with the aspirations of many actors. A new economic model of suburbia urbanization needs to be invented by giving more value to soils by taking into account their resource value.
